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 March 29, 2014 of Select Comfort Corporation and 100%-owned 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 March 29, 2014, and December 28, 2013, 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 28, 2013 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 stock-based compensation, asset impairment charges, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, 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.

2. Fair Value Measurements

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 March 29, 2014, and December 28, 2013, according to the valuation techniques we used to determine their fair value (in thousands):

	$	23,989	$	62,802	$	—	$	86,791

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

At March 29, 2014, and December 28, 2013, we had $1.1 million and $1.1 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 $1.1 million and $1.1 million at March 29, 2014, and December 28, 2013, 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.

6. Debt

Credit Agreement

Our $20.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as amended, is an unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on August 31, 2016. 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.

At both March 29, 2014, and December 28, 2013, $20.0 million was available under the Credit Agreement, we had no borrowings and we were in compliance with all financial covenants. We had no outstanding letters of credit as of March 29, 2014 or December 28, 2013.

7. Repurchase of Common Stock

Repurchases of our common stock for the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended

Amount repurchased under Board-approved share repurchase program	$	10,011	$	10,009
Amount repurchased in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants	225		135
Total amount repurchased	$	10,236	$	10,144

As of March 29, 2014, the remaining authorization under our Board of Directors ("Board") approved share repurchase program was $126.7 million. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares. Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an unissued status.

The cost of stock repurchases is first charged to additional paid-in-capital. Once additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, any additional amounts are charged to retained earnings.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

We compensate officers, directors and key employees with stock-based compensation under two stock plans approved by our shareholders in 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 (benefit) expense for the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, was as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014			March 30, 2013
Options	$	235		$	545
Restricted shares	(343		)	(113		)
Total stock-based compensation (benefit) expense⁽¹⁾	(108		)	432
Income tax expense (benefit)	37			(148		)
Total stock-based compensation (benefit) expense, net of tax	$	(71	)	$	284

⁽¹⁾ The three months ended March 29, 2014 includes a $1.2 million benefit related to a change in estimated forfeitures due to employee turnover during the quarter. The three months ended March 30, 2013 includes $0.4 million of CEO transition benefit.

9. Employee Benefits

Under our profit sharing and 401(k) plan, eligible employees may defer up to 50% of their compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. Each year, we may make a discretionary contribution equal to a percentage of the employee’s contribution. During the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 our contributions, net of forfeitures, were $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively.

10. Other Income, Net

11. Net Income per Common Share

The following computations reconcile net income per share – basic with net income per share – diluted (in thousands, except per share amounts):



	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014		March 30, 2013
Net income	$	16,992	$	23,471

Reconciliation of weighted-average shares outstanding:
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	54,113		55,095
Effect of dilutive securities:
Options	353		690
Restricted shares	378		466
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	54,844		56,251

Net income per share – basic	$	0.31	$	0.43
Net income per share – diluted	$	0.31	$	0.42

Additional potentially dilutive stock options totaling 0.7 million and 1.0 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively, have been excluded from our diluted net income per share calculations because these securities’ exercise prices were anti-dilutive (e.g., greater than the average market price of our common stock).

12. 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):



	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014			March 30, 2013

Warranty Liabilities

We provide a 25-year limited warranty on our beds. 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 trends and warranty 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.

The activity in the accrued warranty liabilities account was as follows (in thousands):

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.

On August 23, 2013, we filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in the District of Minnesota against Gentherm, Inc. seeking a declaratory judgment that Select Comfort be named as an assignee of certain patents asserted against Select Comfort by Gentherm or in the alternative that the asserted patents are not enforceable or are invalid or that Select Comfort and its products do not infringe any valid claim of the asserted patents. This complaint was filed after Gentherm asserted in a letter that Select Comfort’s recently introduced DualTemp™ layer product infringed certain patents owned by Gentherm. Subsequently, Gentherm filed counterclaims alleging infringement of its patents and seeking various legal and equitable remedies, including injunctive relief, treble damages and attorney’s fees. We believe the claims asserted by Gentherm are without merit, and we intend to vigorously pursue our claims and defend the claims asserted by Gentherm.

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 and volume 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 March 29, 2014 were as follows:


•	Net sales increased 7% to $276.4 million, compared with $258.2 million for the same period one year ago. Company-Controlled comparable sales increased 2%. The net sales increase was primarily driven by sales from 32 net new stores opened in the past 12 months.


•	Retail sales-per-store (for stores open at least one year), on a trailing twelve-month basis, of $2.1 million were in line with sales-per-store in the comparable period one year ago.


•	Operating income decreased to $25.8 million, or 9.3% of net sales, compared with $35.2 million, or 13.6% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The decline in operating income was primarily driven by a 1.3 percentage point (ppt.) decrease in our gross profit rate and a 2.7 ppt. increase in our sales and marketing expense rate. See page 18 for additional details.

Index


•	Net income decreased 28% to $17.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared with net income of $23.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the same period one year ago.


•	Cash provided by operating activities totaled $38.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014, compared with $45.0 million for the same period one year ago.

•

At March 29, 2014, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $143.0 million and we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In the first quarter of 2014, we repurchased 566,543 shares of our common stock under our Board-approved share repurchase program at a cost of $10.0 million ($17.67 per share). As of March 29, 2014, the remaining authorization under our Board-approved share repurchase program was $126.7 million.

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 March 29, 2014 with Three Months Ended March 30, 2013

Net sales

Net sales increased 7% to $276.4 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014, compared with $258.2 million for the same period one year ago. The net sales increase was primarily driven by sales from 32 net stores opened in the past 12 months and a 2% increase in comparable sales in our Company-Controlled channel.

The $18.2 million net sales increase compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $16.4 million sales increase resulting from net store openings; (ii) a $4.3 million increase in sales from our Company-Controlled comparable retail stores; and (iii) a $0.3 million increase in Direct and E-Commerce sales; partially offset by (iv) a $2.8 million decrease in Wholesale/Other channel sales. Company-Controlled mattress units increased 1% compared to the prior-year period. Average net sales per mattress unit in our Company-Controlled channel increased by 8%.

Index

Gross profit

The gross profit rate decreased to 62.0% of net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2014, compared with 63.3% for the prior-year period. Increased sales return and exchange costs, including the impact of the second quarter 2013 change in our 30-night trial policy to 100 nights, reduced the gross profit rate by 1.0 ppt. An increase in logistic costs resulting from the severe winter weather reduced the gross profit rate by 0.2 ppt. The remaining change was due to a variety of other factors that can fluctuate from quarter to quarter, including performance-based incentive compensation and warranty expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 29, 2014 increased 14% to $125.0 million, or 45.2% of net sales, compared with $109.8 million, or 42.5% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $15.2 million increase mainly resulted from (i) $6.6 million of incremental fixed costs resulting from new, repositioned and remodeled stores; (ii) a $3.5 million increase in variable store compensation; (iii) a $2.1 million increase in financing costs, as a greater percentage of our customers utilized promotional financing to purchase our products; (iv) a $1.5 million increase in production expenses related to our new marketing campaign; and (v) a $1.3 million, or 3%, increase in media spending. The sales and marketing expense rate increased 2.7 ppt. compared with the same period one year ago due to the factors noted above.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses increased $3.1 million to $18.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014, compared with $15.8 million in the same period one year ago, and increased to 6.8% of net sales, compared with 6.1% of net sales last year. The $3.1 million increase in G&A expenses was primarily due to (i) a $2.5 million increase in performance-based incentive compensation; (ii) a $0.5 million increase in employee compensation to support business growth initiatives, and salary and wage rate increases that were in line with inflation; and (iii) $0.3 million of additional depreciation expense resulting from the increase in capital expenditures to support the growth of the business. These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million net decrease in miscellaneous other expenses, including a reduction in stock-based compensation. The G&A expense rate increased by 0.7 ppt. in the current period compared with the same period one year ago due to the net increase in expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development ("R&D") expenses for the three months ended March 29, 2014 were $1.7 million, or 0.6% of net sales, compared with $2.6 million, or 1.0% of net sales, for the same period one year ago.

Other income, net

Other income, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014, consistent with the comparable period one year ago.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $8.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014 compared with $11.8 million for the same period one year ago. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 29, 2014 was 34.4%, compared with the prior-year period rate of 33.5%. The 2013 effective tax rate was positively impacted by the retroactive reinstatement of the 2012 R&D tax credit in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, the R&D tax credit expired at the end of 2013 and has not yet been extended by Congress. As a result, our 2014 effective tax rate does not include any benefit from the R&D tax credit.

Index

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 29, 2014, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $143.0 million compared with $145.0 million as of December 28, 2013. The $2.0 million decrease was primarily due to $38.9 million of cash provided by operating activities offset by $16.7 million of cash used to purchase property and equipment, $10.2 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock and a $6.1 million decrease in short-term borrowings. The $82.6 million of marketable debt securities held as of March 29, 2014 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 three months ended March 29, 2014, and March 30, 2013 (dollars in millions). Amounts may not add due to rounding differences:



	Three Months Ended
	March 29, 2014			March 30, 2013
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	38.9		$	45.0
Investing activities	(20.8		)	(38.3		)
Financing activities	(15.9		)	(9.8		)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	2.2		$	(3.1	)

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 29, 2014 was $38.9 million compared with $45.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013. The $6.2 million year-over-year decrease in cash from operating activities was comprised of a $6.5 million decrease in net income for the three months ended March 29, 2014 compared with the same period one year ago and a $2.0 million decrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $20.8 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014, compared with $38.3 million for the same period one year ago. Investing activities for the current-year period included $16.7 million of property and equipment purchases, compared with $14.3 million for the same period one year ago. On a net basis, we increased our investment in marketable debt securities by $3.6 million during the three months ended March 29, 2014 compared with a net investment of $7.0 million during the comparable period one year ago.

Net cash used in financing activities was $15.9 million for the three months ended March 29, 2014, compared with $9.8 million for the same period one year ago. During the three months ended March 29, 2014, we repurchased $10.2 million of our stock ($10.0 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $0.2 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants) compared with $10.1 million ($10.0 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $0.1 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants) during the same period one year ago. Changes in book overdrafts 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.

Under the Board-approved $290 million share repurchase program, we repurchased 566,543 shares at a cost of $10.0 million ($17.67 per share) during the three months ended March 29, 2014. During the three months ended March 30, 2013, we repurchased 458,637 shares at a cost of $10.0 million ($21.82 per share). As of March 29, 2014, the remaining authorization under our Board-approved share repurchase program was $126.7 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, as amended, is an unsecured revolving credit facility that matures August 31, 2016. 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 March 29, 2014 we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

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 $143.0 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 March 29, 2014 we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Index

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. Below are our reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

⁽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 three months ended March 30, 2013, we incurred $0.4 million ($0.3 million, net of income tax) of non-recurring, non-cash expenses associated with these stock award modifications which is included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted 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 March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 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 March 29, 2014 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 March 29, 2014, 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 March 29, 2014, 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.
