Tempur Sealy Increases Share Repurchase Authorization


LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tempur Sealy International, Inc. (NYSE: TPX, "Company" or "Tempur Sealy") today announced that its Board of Directors has increased the authorization under the Company's share repurchase program by over $190 million to a total of $300 million.

Since the program was announced in 2016, the Company has repurchased approximately 10.8 million shares for a total investment of approximately $691.6 million at an average price per share of $63.84. The Company expects to purchase at least $50 million of its common stock per quarter in the near term. At the Company's current market capitalization, that would represent approximately 4% of outstanding shares in 2020.

Tempur Sealy International, Inc. Chairman and CEO Scott Thompson commented, "Today I am pleased to announce that our Board of Directors, as a part of our capital allocation process, has once again authorized an increase to our share repurchase authorization. This is a continuation of our long-term disciplined strategy to return excess capital to our shareholders while simultaneously investing in our people and business.  Our financial leverage is currently the lowest in the Company's history while at the same time we expect record full-year revenues in 2020. Future operating cash flow should easily fully fund the stock repurchase program."

In a separate press release issued today, Tempur Sealy reported its record fourth quarter and full year 2019 results. The Company announced that fourth quarter net sales increased 29%, full year net income increased 89% and full year EPS increased 88% to $3.42.

Stock repurchases under this program may be made through open market transactions, negotiated purchases or otherwise, at times and in such amounts as management deems appropriate. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including price, financing and regulatory requirements and other market conditions. The program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Repurchases may be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which would permit shares to be repurchased when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under federal securities laws.
