Sleep Number Executing a Company-wide Turnaround to Reposition Brand, Expand Reach, and Reignite Growth

•Reported net sales of $343 million, down 19.6% compared with the third quarter of 2024

•Delivered gross profit margin of 59.9%, compared to 60.8% for the same period last year

•Reduced third quarter operating expenses by $44.8 million, or 18%, year-over-year, before restructuring and other non-recurring costs.

•Reported net loss of $40 million, compared to a net loss of $3 million for the same period last year

•Delivered adjusted EBITDA of $13 million, down $14 million versus the same period last year

•On track to exceed 2025 cost savings target; streamlined organization positioned to execute the business turnaround

MINNEAPOLIS – (November 5, 2025) – Sleep Number Corporation (Nasdaq: SNBR) today reported results for the quarter ended September 27, 2025.

Linda Findley, President and CEO, commented, “We have successfully executed an amendment and extension of our bank agreement through 2027, giving us greater flexibility to further our turnaround plans. With this new agreement, combined with meaningful fixed cost reductions achieved in 2025, we will invest in growth in 2026. To drive consumer demand, we are making strategic shifts in three key areas: product, brand positioning and distribution.

"My learnings thus far make me incredibly optimistic about Sleep Number’s future and the ability to create significant shareholder value in the coming years. To be clear, this is a full turnaround of an inherently great company. I came to Sleep Number because I saw huge potential, and I remain excited about what is ahead. As in many situations like this, there were more challenges than I expected, which required us to move extremely fast to fix the business. The pace of our work, along with constraints imposed by our capital structure, has made the first six months difficult. However, we have accomplished a lot and are optimistic that this work positions us to execute the turnaround in 2026."

Third Quarter Overview (all comparisons year-over-year unless otherwise noted)

•Net sales of $343 million were down 19.6%, driven by lower volume and a reduced store count.

•Gross profit was $205 million, a decrease of $54 million. Gross profit margin of 59.9% compared to 60.8% for the same period last year.

•Operating expenses were $204 million before restructuring and other non-recurring costs, a decrease of $45 million, or 18%, driven by lower marketing and selling expenses, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses.

•Restructuring and other non-recurring costs in the quarter were $41 million, driven by severance and employee-related benefits, contract termination costs, and asset impairment charges.

•Net loss was $40 million or $1.73 per diluted share, down $37 million, driven primarily by lower net sales, partially offset by lower operating expenses.

•Adjusted EBITDA was $13 million, down $14 million or 52%, driven by a decline in net sales and associated loss of fixed cost leverage, partially offset by lower operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 260 basis points to 3.9%.

Cash Flows, Liquidity and Balance Sheet Highlights (all comparisons year-over-year unless otherwise noted)

•Net cash used in year-to-date operating activities was $5 million, down $56 million.

•Year-to-date Free cash flow was a use of $17.0 million, down $51 million.

•The Company's leverage ratio was 5.0x EBITDAR on a trailing 12-month basis at the end of the quarter versus the amended covenant maximum of 5.25x.

Financial Outlook

•Amended and extended bank agreement provides flexibility of covenants to enable business turnaround. Refer to 8-K, filed concurrent with this press release, for additional information.

•Given the pressures on the business, the company is revising its outlook for 2025. The company now expects the full year 2025 net sales to be approximately $1.4 billion and gross profit margin to be approximately 60%. With incremental cost reductions, operating expenses, excluding restructuring and other non-recurring costs, are expected to be approximately $825 million.

Calculation of Return on Invested Capital (Adjusted ROIC)

(in thousands)

 

Adjusted ROIC is a financial measure we use to determine how efficiently we deploy our capital. It quantifies the return we earn on our adjusted invested capital. Management believes Adjusted ROIC is also a useful metric for investors and financial analysts. We compute Adjusted ROIC as outlined below. Our definition and calculation of Adjusted ROIC may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions and calculations used by other companies. The tables below reconcile adjusted net operating profit after taxes (Adjusted NOPAT) and total adjusted invested capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to the comparable GAAP financial measures:
