Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended June 29, 2013 of Select Comfort Corporation and subsidiaries (“Select Comfort” or the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and they reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 29, 2013, and December 29, 2012 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our historical and quarterly results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any future period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and other recent filings with the SEC.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of sales, expenses and income taxes during the reporting period. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and, as such, requires the use of judgment. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Our critical accounting policies consist of asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Select Comfort Corporation and our subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent Events

Events that have occurred subsequent to June 29, 2013 have been evaluated through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements as of or for the period ended June 29, 2013.

2. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. Our financial assets are valued using market prices based on either active markets (Level 1 measurements) or less active markets (Level 2 measurements).

Our Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on a consistent basis. Our Level 2 securities include U.S. Agency bonds, corporate bonds and municipal bonds whose value is determined by a third-party pricing service using inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data such as pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions, cash flow models with yield curves and benchmark securities.

We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the periods presented.

The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at June 29, 2013, and December 29, 2012, according to the valuation techniques we used to determine their fair value (in thousands):

At June 29, 2013, and December 29, 2012, we had $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of debt and equity securities that fund our deferred compensation plan and are classified in other assets. We also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $0.9 million and $1.6 million at June 29, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively, which are included in other long-term liabilities. The majority of the debt and equity securities are Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains/(losses) on the debt and equity securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities.

3. Purchase of Comfortaire

On January 17, 2013, we completed the purchase of the business and assets of Comfortaire Corporation, a manufacturer and marketer of adjustable air-supported sleep systems. We purchased Comfortaire to progress our role as the leader in delivering innovative products as part of an individualized sleep experience, while also strengthening our competitive advantages. The acquisition price was $15.5 million. Comfortaire Corporation was a privately held company with 2012 net sales of $10.5 million. The purchase of Comfortaire's business and assets did not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired as of June 29, 2013 (in thousands):



Accounts receivable	$	365
Inventories	678
Other assets	219
Property and equipment	509
Goodwill	6,157
Intangible assets	8,638
Total assets acquired	16,566
Accounts payable	344
Warranty liabilities	658
Other liabilities	64
Total liabilities acquired	1,066
Net assets acquired	$	15,500

The goodwill and identifiable intangible assets will be deductible for income tax purposes over a 15-year period on a straight-line basis. Purchase accounting is considered preliminary, subject to revision, mainly with respect to certain working capital accounts, taxes and goodwill, as final information was not available as of June 29, 2013.

Identifiable intangible assets and estimated useful lives are as follows (in thousands):



	Estimated
	Useful Life
Developed technologies	10 years	$	4,829
Customer relationships	7 years	2,413

Finished goods	28,026		30,239
	$	34,473	$	35,564

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the difference between the purchase price of a company and the fair market value of the acquired company's net identifiable assets. Intangible assets include developed technology, trade names/trademarks and customer relationships. Definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives, ranging from 7-17 years. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment using a fair value approach. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or when there are indicators of impairment. Definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

7. Debt

Credit Agreement

Our $20.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is an unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on April 23, 2015. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the amount of the line from $20.0 million to up to $50.0 million in total availability, subject to lender approval.

Any borrowings under the Amendment will, at our request, be classified as either LIBOR Loans or Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) Loans (both as defined in the Credit Agreement). The rate of interest payable by us in respect of loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility is (i) with respect to LIBOR Loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the interest period then in effect, plus 1.25%; or (ii) with respect to ABR Loans, the ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then in effect for the Daily One-Month LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.50% or the prime rate. We are subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, including minimum tangible net worth, a requirement to maintain a minimum amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, and to maintain at the administrative agent cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities equal to the amount the lenders are committed to lend under the Credit Agreement.

We compensate officers, directors and key employees with stock-based compensation under three stock plans approved by our shareholders in 1997, 2004 and 2010 and administered under the supervision of our Board. Compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, is recognized ratably over the vesting period.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, was as follows (in thousands):

CEO Transition Costs

In February 2012, we announced that William R. McLaughlin, then President and Chief Executive Officer would retire from the Company effective June 1, 2012. In recognition of Mr. McLaughlin’s contributions, the Compensation Committee approved the modification of Mr. McLaughlin’s currently unvested stock awards, including performance-based stock awards. The performance-based stock awards are subject to applicable performance adjustments through 2014 based on free cash flow and actual market share growth versus performance targets. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $5.6 million ($3.7 million, net of income tax) of non-recurring, non-cash expenses associated with these stock award modifications. During the six months ended June 29, 2013, we recorded a non-cash compensation benefit of $0.4 million ($0.3 million, net of income tax) resulting from performance-based stock award adjustments. There were no CEO transition (benefits) costs for the three months ended June 29, 2013 or June 30, 2012.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Sales Returns

The accrued sales returns estimate is based on historical return rates, which are reasonably consistent from period to period, and is adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. If actual returns vary from expected rates, sales in future periods are adjusted.

The activity in the sales returns liability account was as follows (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2013			June 30, 2012
Balance at beginning of year	$	5,330		$	4,402
Additions that reduce net sales	23,388			22,480
Deductions from reserves	(22,963		)	(21,765		)
Acquired sales return reserve	50			—
Balance at end of period	$	5,805		$	5,117

Warranty Liabilities

During the second quarter of 2013, we extended the limited warranty on our beds to 25 years. The change is not expected to have a significant impact on our warranty expense. The customer participates over the last 23 years of the warranty period by paying a portion of the retail value of replacement parts. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of sales, are based on historical claims rates incurred by us and are adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. We regularly assess and adjust the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs.

We classify as non-current those estimated warranty costs expected to be paid out in greater than one year. The activity in the accrued warranty liabilities account was as follows (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2013			June 30, 2012
Balance at beginning of year	$	4,858		$	6,310
Additions charged to costs and expenses for current-year sales	2,113			1,832
Deductions from reserves	(2,568		)	(2,435		)
Changes in liability for pre-existing warranties during the current year, including expirations	(117		)	151
Acquired warranty reserve	658			—
Balance at end of period	$	4,944		$	5,858

Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

•	Customers will love their Sleep Number experience and enthusiastically recommend Sleep Number to their family and friends; and


•	Leveraging our unique business model to fund innovation and growth will benefit our customers, employees and shareholders.

Results of Operations

Quarterly and Annual Results

Quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including increases or decreases in sales, the timing, amount and effectiveness of advertising expenditures, changes in sales return rates or warranty experience, the timing of store openings/closings and related expenses, changes in net sales resulting from changes in our store base, the timing of promotional offerings, competitive factors, changes in commodity costs, any disruptions in supplies or third-party service providers, seasonality of retail and bedding industry sales, timing of QVC shows, consumer confidence and general economic conditions. Therefore, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any future period.

Highlights

Financial highlights for the three months ended June 29, 2013 were as follows:


•	Net income decreased 42% to $9.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared with net income of $17.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the same period one year ago.

•

Net sales increased 1% to $207.4 million, compared with $205.2 million for the same period one year ago. The net sales increase was primarily driven by sales from 32 net new stores opened in the past 12 months, partially offset by a 6% comparable sales decrease in our Company-Controlled channel. Changes to media buying in the first quarter of 2013 were a key contributing factor to the 6% comparable sales decline. Management took decisive action to correct the media buying issue and during the second quarter of 2013, monthly sales trends improved on a sequential basis.


•	Operating income decreased to $15.1 million, or 7.3% of net sales, for the three months ended June 29, 2013 compared with $25.9 million, or 12.6% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The decline in operating income was primarily due to an increase in fixed sales and marketing expenses associated with new, repositioned and remodeled stores.

Index


•	Retail sales-per-store (for stores open at least one year), on a trailing twelve-month basis, increased by 4% from one year ago to $2.1 million.


•	Cash provided by operating activities totaled $36.1 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013, compared with $43.2 million for the same period one year ago.


•	At June 29, 2013, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $140.5 million compared with $177.8 million at December 29, 2012, and we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In the second quarter of 2013, we repurchased 471,732 shares of our common stock under our Board approved share repurchase program at a cost of $10.0 million ($21.22 per share).

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our results of operations expressed as dollars and percentages of net sales. Figures are in millions, except percentages and per share amounts. Amounts may not add due to rounding differences.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 29, 2013 with Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Net sales

Net sales increased 1% to $207.4 million for the three months ended June 29, 2013, compared with $205.2 million for the same period one year ago. The net sales increase was primarily driven by sales from 32 net new stores opened in the past 12 months, partially offset by a 6% comparable sales decrease in our Company-Controlled channel. Changes to our media buying in the first quarter of 2013, which negatively impacted customer traffic and sales, were a key contributing factor to the 6% comparable sales decline. Management took decisive action to correct the media buying issue, and during the second quarter of 2013, monthly sales trends improved on a sequential basis.

The $2.2 million net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $12.6 million sales increase resulting from net new store openings, partially offset by an $11.5 million decrease in sales from our Company-Controlled comparable retail stores; (ii) a $0.6 million increase in Direct and E-Commerce sales; and (iii) a $0.5 million increase in Wholesale/Other channel sales. Company-Controlled mattress units decreased 2% compared to the prior-year period. Average net sales per mattress unit in our Company-Controlled channel increased by 3%.

Gross profit

The gross profit rate decreased to 63.4% of net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2013, compared with 64.1% for the prior-year period. A sales mix shift to lower-margin products, including a lower-margin special-edition mattress offered during our Memorial Day promotional event and a higher sales mix of our lower-margin bedding collection products reduced gross profit rate by 0.8 percentage points (“ppt.”) compared to the same period one year ago. This gross profit rate reduction was partially offset by supply chain efficiencies (0.4 ppt.). The remaining rate change is due to a variety of factors that can fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter, including sales return and exchange costs, warranty expenses and performance-based incentive compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 29, 2013 increased 11% to $98.4 million, or 47.4% of net sales, compared with $88.2 million, or 43.0% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $10.1 million expense increase was primarily due to (i) $6.0 million of incremental fixed costs associated with new, repositioned and remodeled stores; (ii) a $1.8 million, or 6%, increase in media spending; (iii) a $1.6 million increase in financing costs, as a greater percentage of our customers utilized promotional financing to purchase our products; and (iv) a $1.5 million increase in variable compensation for our store employees. These increases were partially offset by lower percentage rent. The sales and marketing expense rate increased 4.4 ppt. compared with the same period one year ago due to the factors noted above and the deleveraging impact of the 6% comparable sales decrease.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased $0.9 million to $15.4 million for the three months ended June 29, 2013, compared with $16.2 million in the same period one year ago, and decreased to 7.4% of net sales, compared with 7.9% of net sales last year. The $0.9 million decrease in G&A expenses was primarily due to (i) a $2.5 million decrease in performance-based incentive compensation and stock-based compensation; and (ii) a $0.4 million net decrease in miscellaneous other expenses, partially offset by (i) a $1.5 million increase in employee compensation resulting from headcount increases to support business growth initiatives, and salary and wage rate increases that were in line with inflation; and (ii) $0.5 million of additional depreciation expense resulting from the increase in capital expenditures to support the growth of the business. The G&A expense rate decreased by 0.5 ppt. in the current period compared with the same period one year ago due to the net reduction in expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 29, 2013 were $2.6 million, or 1.2% of net sales, compared with $1.3 million, or 0.6% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $1.3 million change in R&D expenses was due to increased investments to support product innovations during the current year and the company's long-term product innovation roadmap.

Asset impairment charges

During the three months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we recognized asset impairment charges of $15 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively, related to certain store assets.

Other income, net

Other income, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2013, compared with other income, net of $48 thousand for the comparable period one year ago. The current-year improvement in other income, net was primarily due to a higher average yield on our portfolio in the current-year period, and a reduction of fees associated with our line of credit.

Index

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $5.3 million for the three months ended June 29, 2013 compared with $8.9 million for the same period one year ago. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 29, 2013 was 34.6%, consistent with the prior-year period rate of 34.5%.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 29, 2013 with Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Net sales

Net sales decreased 0.4% to $465.6 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013, compared with $467.6 million for the same period one year ago. The sales decrease was primarily driven by an 8% comparable sales decrease in our Company-Controlled channel, partially offset by sales from 32 net new stores opened in the past 12 months. Changes to our media buying in the first quarter of 2013, which negatively impacted customer traffic and sales, were a key contributing factor to the 8% comparable sales decline. Management took decisive action to correct the media buying issue, and during the second quarter of 2013, monthly sales trends improved on a sequential basis.

The $2.0 million net sales decrease compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $28.5 million decrease in sales from our Company-Controlled comparable retail stores, partially offset by a $25.7 million sales increase resulting from net new store openings; (ii) a $3.2 million decrease in Direct and E-Commerce sales; and (iii) a $4.1 million increase in Wholesale/Other channel sales. Company-Controlled mattress units decreased 10% compared to the prior-year period. Average net sales per mattress unit in our Company-Controlled channel increased by 9%.

Gross profit

Our 63.3% gross profit rate for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was consistent with the comparable period last year. Price increases associated with product innovation over the last 12 months positively impacted the gross profit rate by 0.7 ppt. for the six months ended June 29, 2013, compared with the same period one year ago. The current-year gross profit rate also benefited from supply chain efficiencies. A higher sales mix of our lower-margin bedding collection products reduced gross profit rate by 0.6 ppt. compared to last year. The remaining year-over-year rate change was due to a variety of factors that can fluctuate from quarter to quarter, including sales return and exchange costs, warranty expenses and performance-based incentive compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 29, 2013 increased 7% to $208.2 million, or 44.7% of net sales, compared with $194.4 million, or 41.6% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $13.7 million increase was primarily due to (i) an $11.1 million increase in fixed selling expenses due to new, repositioned and remodeled stores; (ii) a $4.7 million, or 7%, increase in media spending; and (iii) a $2.2 million increase in customer financing expenses, as a larger percentage of our customers took advantage of promotional financing offers. These increases were partially offset by lower percentage rent ($2.3 million) and a net decrease in miscellaneous other expenses. The sales and marketing expense rate increased 3.1 ppt. compared with the same period one year ago due to the increase in expenses noted above and the deleveraging impact of the 8% comparable sales decrease.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased $1.6 million to $31.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013, compared with $33.1 million in the prior year, and decreased to 6.8% of net sales, compared with 7.1% of net sales one year ago. The $1.6 million decrease in G&A expenses was primarily due to a $6.0 million decrease in performance-based incentive compensation and stock-based compensation, partially offset by (i) a $2.9 million increase in employee compensation resulting from headcount increases to support business growth initiatives, and salary and wage rate increases that were in line with inflation; (ii) $1.2 million of additional depreciation expense resulting from the increase in capital expenditures to support the growth of the business; and (iii) a $0.3 million net increase in miscellaneous other expenses. The G&A expense rate decreased by 0.3 ppt. in the current period compared with the same period one year ago due to the net reduction in expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses for the six months ended June 29, 2013 were $5.1 million, or 1.1% of net sales, compared with $2.5 million, or 0.5% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $2.6 million increase was due to increased investments to support product innovations during the current year and the company's long-term product innovation roadmap.

Asset impairment charges

During the six months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012, we recognized asset impairment charges of $45 thousand and $7 thousand, respectively, related to certain store assets.

Other income, net

Other income, net was $0.2 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013, compared with $0.1 million for the comparable period one year ago. The current-year improvement in other income, net was primarily due to a higher average yield on our portfolio in the current-year period, and a reduction of fees associated with our line of credit.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $17.1 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013, compared with $20.8 million for the same period one year ago. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 29, 2013 decreased to 33.9% compared with 34.6% for the prior-year period. The 2013 effective tax rate was positively impacted by the retroactive reinstatement of the research and development tax credit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 29, 2013, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $140.5 million compared with $177.8 million as of December 29, 2012. The $37.3 million decrease was primarily due to $36.1 million of cash provided by operating activities offset by $37.1 million of cash used to purchase property and equipment, $18.5 million of strategic investments, including the purchase of Comfortaire (see discussion below), and $22.0 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock. The $82.3 million of marketable debt securities held as of June 29, 2013 are all highly liquid and include U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt securities and municipal bonds.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 29, 2013, and June 30, 2012 (dollars in millions). Amounts may not add due to rounding differences:



	Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2013			June 30, 2012
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	36.1		$	43.2
Investing activities	(48.5		)	(57.8		)
Financing activities	(17.3		)	(11.4		)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(29.7	)	$	(25.9	)

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was $36.1 million compared with $43.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The $7.1 million year-over-year decrease in cash from operating activities was comprised of a $6.0 million decrease in net income for the six months ended June 29, 2013 compared with the same period one year ago and a $7.6 million decrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $6.5 million increase in adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $48.5 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013, compared with $57.8 million for the same period one year ago. Investing activities for the current-year period included $37.1 million of property and equipment purchases, compared with $22.5 million for the same period one year ago. Capital expenditures - primarily for new, repositioned and remodeled stores, information technology and product innovation - are projected to be approximately $70 - $80 million in 2013 compared with $51.6 million in 2012. On a net basis, we reduced our investment in marketable debt securities by $7.0 million during the six months ended June 29, 2013 compared with a net investment of $35.3 million during the comparable period one year ago. On January 17, 2013, we completed the purchase of the business and assets of Comfortaire Corporation, a manufacturer and marketer of adjustable air-supported sleep systems, for $15.5 million. Comfortaire Corporation was a privately held company with 2012 net sales of $10.5 million. We purchased Comfortaire to progress our role as the leader in delivering innovative products as part of an individualized sleep experience, while also strengthening our competitive advantages.

Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details. Finally, we made a $3.0 million minority equity investment in one of our strategic product-development partners and committed to invest an additional $1.5 million during the remainder of 2013.

Net cash used in financing activities was $17.3 million for the six months ended June 29, 2013, compared with $11.4 million for the same period one year ago. During the six months ended June 29, 2013, we repurchased $22.0 million of our stock ($20.0 million under our Board approved share repurchase program and $2.0 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants) compared with $14.0 million ($10.0 million under our Board approved share repurchase program and $4.0 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants) during the same period one year ago. Changes in book overdrafts and payments on capital lease obligations are included in the net change in short-term borrowings. Financing activities for both periods reflect the vesting of employee restricted stock awards and exercise of employee stock options along with the associated excess tax benefits.

During the second quarter of 2012, we reinitiated repurchasing our common stock. Our current objective is to maintain common shares outstanding at or below existing levels. Under the Board approved $290 million share repurchase program, we repurchased 930,369 shares at a cost of $20.0 million ($21.52 per share) during the six months ended June 29, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we repurchased 409,770 shares at a cost of $10.0 million (24.42 per share). As of June 29, 2013, the remaining authorization under our Board approved share repurchase program was $156.7 million. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares.

Our $20.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is an unsecured revolving credit facility that matures April 23, 2015. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the amount of the line from $20.0 million to up to $50.0 million in total availability, subject to lender approval. As of June 29, 2013 we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Any borrowings under the Credit Agreement will, at our request, be classified as either LIBOR Loans or Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) Loans (both as defined in the Credit Agreement). The rate of interest payable by us in respect of loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility is (i) with respect to LIBOR Loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the interest period then in effect, plus 1.25%; or (ii) with respect to ABR Loans, the ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then in effect for the Daily One-Month LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.50% or the prime rate. We are subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, including minimum tangible net worth, a requirement to maintain a minimum amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, and to maintain at the administrative agent cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities equal to the amount the lenders are committed to lend under the Credit Agreement.

Our business model, which can operate with minimal working capital, does not require additional capital from external sources to fund operations or organic growth. The $140.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, cash generated from ongoing operations, and cash available under our revolving credit facility are expected to be adequate to maintain operations and fund anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future.

We have an agreement with GE Capital Retail Bank to offer qualified customers revolving credit arrangements to finance purchases from us (“GE Agreement”). The GE Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement and a minimum cash requirement. As of June 29, 2013 we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Under the terms of the GE Agreement, GE Capital Retail Bank sets the minimum acceptable credit ratings, the interest rates, fees and all other terms and conditions of the customer accounts, including collection policies and procedures, and is the owner of the accounts.

Non-GAAP Data Reconciliations

Reported to Adjusted Statements of Operations Data (in thousands, except per share amounts)

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we also disclose non-GAAP results that exclude certain significant charges or credits. Our "as adjusted" data is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and is not in accordance with, or preferable to, "as reported," or GAAP financial data. However, we believe that the disclosure of results excluding certain significant charges or credits provides additional insights into underlying business performance and facilitates year-over-year comparisons.

⁽¹⁾ In February 2012, we announced that William R. McLaughlin, then President and Chief Executive Officer would retire from the Company effective June 1, 2012. In recognition of Mr. McLaughlin’s contributions, the Compensation Committee approved the modification of Mr. McLaughlin’s currently unvested stock awards, including performance-based stock awards. The performance-based stock awards are subject to applicable performance adjustments through 2014 based on free cash flow and actual market share growth versus performance targets. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred $5.6 million ($3.7 million, net of income tax) of non-recurring, non-cash expenses associated with these stock award modifications. During the six months ended June 29, 2013, we recorded a non-cash compensation benefit of $0.4 million ($0.3 million, net of income tax) resulting from performance-based stock award adjustments.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)

We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization as net income plus: income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments (“Adjusted EBITDA”). Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our financial performance and our ability to generate cash from operating activities. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to the comparable GAAP financial measure.

Our Adjusted EBITDA calculations for the three months and trailing-twelve months ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Changes in the overall level of interest rates affect interest income generated from our short-term and long-term investments in marketable debt securities. If overall interest rates were one percentage point lower than current rates, our annual interest income would not change by a significant amount based on our investments in marketable debt securities as of June 29, 2013 and the current low interest-rate environment. We do not manage our investment interest-rate volatility risk through the use of derivative instruments.

As of June 29, 2013, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business, financial condition and operating results are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including both those that are specific to our business and others that affect all businesses operating in a global environment. Investors should carefully consider the information in this report under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and also the information under the heading, “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factors discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional risk factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
