HOUSTON, March 26, 2013 /BUSINESSWIRE/ — Mattress Firm Holding Corp.

For the full fiscal year, net sales increased 43.1% to $1,007.3 million and comparable-store sales for the full fiscal year increased 6.1%.  The Company reported fourth fiscal quarter earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis of $0.22, and EPS on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, excluding acquisition-related, noncash impairment and other costs (“Adjusted”), of $0.30.  Diluted EPS on a GAAP basis and Adjusted basis are reconciled in the table below:

“We achieved significant growth in 2012, unprecedented in our industry, as we drove net sales by 43.1% to above the $1 billion mark and increased our store base by 45.0% to over 1,000 store units.  We also delivered meaningful year-over-year increases across key financial metrics, including a 50.6% increase in Adjusted operating income and 6.1% comparable-store sales growth during our first full year as a public company,” remarked Steve Stagner, Mattress Firm’s president and chief executive officer.  “Overall, fiscal 2012 was a record year for Mattress Firm; an impressive accomplishment in light of the challenges associated with adding 328 stores, including 242 stores through accretive acquisitions.  Looking to 2013, with the integration of the acquired stores substantially complete, we expect to drive sales and operating margin expansion from the ongoing sales growth of acquired stores, which will be enhanced as we pass the anniversary dates of our 2012 acquisitions.  We envision that this growth, combined with a third consecutive year of opening more than 100 organic new stores in line with the continued execution of our relative market share strategy of penetrating markets, will further strengthen and fortify our leadership positions. We are extremely excited about our potential for fiscal 2013 and believe we are well positioned to drive additional value for our shareholders as we move through the year.”

Fourth Quarter Financial Summary

·                  Net sales for the fourth fiscal quarter increased 37.0% to $258.2 million, reflecting incremental sales from new and acquired stores, offset by a comparable-store sales decline of 1.6%.

·                  Opened 30 new stores, closed 11, and acquired 27 former Mattress Source stores in December 2012, bringing the total number of Company-operated stores to 1,057 as of the end of the fiscal year.

·                  Income from operations was $17.2 million. Excluding $4.3 million of acquisition-related costs, impairment charges and debt amendment expenses, Adjusted income from operations was $21.5 million, representing an increase of $5.8 million, or 37.0%, over Adjusted income from operations for the comparable prior year period.  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 remained unchanged at 8.3% of net sales as compared to the same quarter of fiscal 2011, and consisted of a 230 basis-point improvement in general and administrative expense leverage, offset by a 200 basis-point decrease in gross margin from lower sales productivity of acquired stores, a 20 basis point decline in franchise fees due to the Company growing its sales at a rate faster than the franchise base, and 10 basis-points of deleverage in other expense categories.

·                  Net income was $7.6 million and GAAP EPS was $0.22.  Excluding $2.4 million, net of income taxes, of acquisition-related costs and impairment charges and other costs, Adjusted net income was $10.0 million and Adjusted EPS was $0.30, representing increases of approximately 43.0% over Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS for the comparable prior year period.  Please refer to “Reconciliation of Reported (GAAP) to Adjusted Statements of Operations Data” for a reconciliation net income and GAAP EPS to Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS, respectively, and other information.

Acquisitions

In December 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the assets and operations of Factory Mattress & Water Bed Outlet of Charlotte, Inc. (dba “Mattress Source”), including 27 mattress specialty stores in North Carolina and South Carolina, for approximately $11.4 million. The Company has commenced rebranding of the former Mattress Source stores as Mattress Firm, with completion anticipated to occur in the first half of fiscal 2013.

Consistent with our core relative market share strategy, the Mattress Source acquisition added stores in markets where Company-operated Mattress Firm stores were already established.  The addition of the acquired stores, once rebranded, is expected to drive advertising efficiency and improve market-level profitability in those markets.

With respect to the acquisitions of former Mattress Giant stores in November 2011 and May 2012, the rebranding of the acquired stores was substantially complete by the end of fiscal 2012.  The per store sales results of those stores both prior to and subsequent to their rebranding is demonstrated by the charts below:

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 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 20, 2012 (as amended on May 30, 2012) and our other SEC filings.  Forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and reflect management’s expectations or beliefs concerning future events as of the date of this press release.  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 and bookrunner and a lender, are calculated based on similar measures, which 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)                                 Adjustment to recognize vendor funds received upon the opening of a new store in the period opened, rather than over 36-months as presented in our financial statements, which is consistent with how management has historically reviewed our results of operations.

(b)                                 Consists of noncash purchase accounting adjustments made to inventories resulting from acquisitions and other acquisition-related cash costs included in net income, such as direct acquisition costs and costs related to training and integration of acquired businesses.

(c)                                  Consists of various items that management excludes in reviewing the results of operations.

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.
