Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (MM) (MFRM)

LOL

Form 4s showing management has been SELLING since the announcement of a buyout!!!!! SCAM!!!! This deal probably will run into a road block & MFRM will lose the 110% gain instantly within 2 months!

Time for some Put options at 50s-40s...

bad day for the shorts

the got it hard on firm mattress

The problem I see is multiple stores within 1 or 2 miles of each other. These are not Starbucks here, consumers but a matteress every 5 years at best.

IMO this is a huge disaster waiting to happen.

corrrect ...it cost them approx 250k to open a new store organically ...and they paid 780k for each Sleepy's store ....good will notwithstanding ...thats a bad deal imo ...besides they do not have a competitive advantage like a Walmart or Starbucks ....they sell the same crap as everyone else

This company has a negative tangible book value and will only become worse after their last acquisition.

Very high risk company, IMO. I'm not even sure if the equity it worth $5 a share.

the acquisition of Sleepy's adds another 700 million in debt to the balance sheet for a total of 1.4 billion in debt . At 39% gross profit and less than 4 % net profit .....this is a disaster waiting to happen .... Tempurpedic will probably be forced to bail them out

You should be sleeping

I know I talked to you this am it's Eric

I work there

Sleepys produces tons of revenue. I live on East coast and they are everywhere. You should know too;)

Should be a great day here

Anyone in this?

Great numbers will run off of this.

"Our exciting growth story continued in the second quarter of 2013, as we added 35 new stores organically, bringing our total company-operated store count to over 1,100," stated Steve Stagner, Mattress Firm's president and chief executive officer. "We saw revenues increase by 15% over the prior year to $303 million, which evidences that our growth is outpacing the mattress industry, which has experienced mid-single digit growth during the comparable period. The former Mattress Giant stores continue to generate strong sales growth that is driving operating margin expansion, while sales at our legacy stores in those acquisition markets have also improved year over year, further validating the strength of our relative market share strategy. We expect that the second half of the year will benefit from a return to higher industry-level advertising media spend relative to recent quarters that we anticipate will drive improvement in customer traffic and sales trends in our business."

Second Quarter Financial Summary

-- Net sales for the second fiscal quarter increased 15.5% to $302.5 million, reflecting incremental sales from new and acquired stores, offset by a comparable-store sales decline of 0.3%.

-- Opened 35 new stores and closed 10 stores bringing the total number of Company-operated stores to 1,121 as of the end of the fiscal quarter.

Please refer to "Reconciliation of Reported (GAAP) to Adjusted Statements of Operations Data" for a reconciliation of income from operations to Adjusted income from operations and other information.

-- Adjusted operating margin decreased 10 basis points to 8.9% of net sales as compared to 9.0% in the same quarter of fiscal 2012, and consisted of a 30 basis-point increase in gross margin, a 40 basis-point improvement in sales and marketing expense leverage, a 60 basis-point decline in general and administrative expense leverage and an aggregate 20 basis-point operating margin decline in other categories.

The forward-looking statements contained in this press release, such as those relating to our net sales, GAAP and Adjusted EPS and net store unit change for fiscal year 2013, are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to downturns in the economy; reduction in discretionary spending by consumers; our ability to execute our key business strategies and advance our market-level profitability; our ability to profitably open and operate new stores and capture additional market share; our relationship with our primary mattress suppliers; our dependence on a few key employees; the possible impairment of our goodwill or other acquired intangible assets; the effect of our planned growth and the integration of our acquisitions on our business infrastructure; the impact of seasonality on our financial results and comparable-store sales; our ability to raise adequate capital to support our expansion strategy; our success in pursuing and completing strategic acquisitions; the effectiveness and efficiency of our advertising expenditures; our success in keeping warranty claims and comfort exchange return rates within acceptable levels; our ability to deliver our products in a timely manner; our status as a holding company with no business operations; our ability to anticipate consumer trends; risks related to our controlling stockholder, J.W. Childs Associates, L.P.; heightened competition; changes in applicable regulations; risks related to our franchises, including our lack of control over their operation and our liabilities if they default on note or lease obligations; risks related to our stock and other factors set forth under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 29, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on April 1, 2013 and our other SEC filings.

Actual results of operations may differ materially from those set forth in any forward-looking statements, and the inclusion of a projection or forward-looking statement in this press release should not be regarded as a representation by us that our plans or objectives will be achieved. We do not undertake to publicly update or revise any of these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), without giving effect to non-cash goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, gains or losses on store closings and impairment of store assets, gains or losses related to the early extinguishment of debt, financial sponsor fees and expenses, non-cash charges related to stock-based awards and other items that are excluded by management in reviewing the results of operations. We have presented Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that the exclusion of these items is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about our ongoing operating performance excluding certain non-cash and other items and to provide additional information with respect to our ability to comply with various covenants in documents governing our indebtedness and as a means to evaluate our period-to-period results. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed to imply that our future results will be unaffected by any such adjustments. We have provided this information to analysts, investors and other third parties to enable them to perform more meaningful comparisons of past, present and future operating results and as a means to evaluate the results of our ongoing operations. Management also uses Adjusted EBITDA to determine executive incentive compensation payment levels. In addition, our compliance with certain covenants under the credit agreement between our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, Mattress Holding Corp., certain lenders, and UBS Securities LLC, as sole arranger, bookrunner, and lender, are calculated based on similar measures and differ from Adjusted EBITDA primarily by the inclusion of pro forma results for acquired businesses in those similar measures. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA has significant limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

The following table contains a reconciliation of our net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated (in thousands):

==================== ====== ==================== ==================== ====== ==================== ====== ==================== ==================== ======











(a) We receive cash payments from certain vendors for each new
incremental store that we open ("new store funds"). New store funds
are initially recorded in other noncurrent liabilities when received
and are then amortized as a reduction of cost of sales over 36
months in our financial statements. Historically, we have considered
new store funds as a component of Adjusted EBITDA when received
since new store funds are included in cash provided from operations.
The adjustment includes the amount of new store funds received
during the period presented and eliminates the non-cash reduction in
cost of sales included in our results of operations.

(b) Reflects both non-cash effects included in net income related to
acquisition accounting adjustments made to inventories and other
acquisition-related cash costs included in net income, such as
direct acquisition costs and costs related to integration of
acquired businesses.

(c) Consists of various items that management excludes in reviewing the
results of operations, including $0.6 million and $1.2 million of
ERP system implementation costs incurred during the thirteen and
twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2013, respectively.




Adjusted EPS and the other "Adjusted" data provided in this press release are also considered non-GAAP financial measures. We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP; however, management believes evaluating our ongoing operating results may be enhanced if investors have additional non-GAAP basis financial measures to facilitate year-over-year comparisons. Management reviews non-GAAP financial measures to assess ongoing operations and considers them to be effective indicators, for both management and investors, of our financial performance over time. Our management does not advocate that investors consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. For more information, please refer to "Reconciliation of Reported (GAAP) to Adjusted Statements of Operations Data" below.
