1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business & Basis of Presentation

The Company prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended

June 29, 2024 of Sleep Number Corporation and its 100%-owned subsidiaries (Sleep Number 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, including the elimination of all significant intra-entity balances

and transactions, necessary to present fairly its financial position as of June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, and the

consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The historical and quarterly consolidated

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 the most recent

audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for

the fiscal year ended December 30, 2023 and other recent filings with the SEC.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company 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 condensed 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 consolidated financial statements in future periods and could be material. The Company’s critical accounting

policies consist of stock-based compensation, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

2. Fair Value Measurements

At both June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company had $19 million of debt and equity securities that fund the

deferred compensation plan and are classified in other non-current assets. The Company also had corresponding

deferred compensation plan liabilities of $19 million at both June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, which are included

in other non-current liabilities. The majority of the debt and equity securities are Level 1 as they trade with sufficient

frequency and volume to enable the Company 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.

million at both June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023.

Definite-lived Intangible Assets

Patents were $2.0 million at both June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023. Accumulated amortization was $0.9 million at

June 29, 2024 and $0.8 million at December 30, 2023. Amortization expense for both the three months ended June 29,

2024 and July 1, 2023, was $55 thousand, and for both the six months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023 was

5. Credit Agreement

As of June 29, 2024, the Company’s credit facility had a total commitment amount of $680 million. The credit facility is

for general corporate purposes, to meet seasonal working capital requirements and to repurchase its stock. The Credit

Agreement includes an accordion feature which allows the Company to increase the amount of the credit facility from

$680 million to $1.0 billion, subject to lenders’ approval. The Credit Agreement provides the lenders with a collateral

security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets and those of its subsidiaries and requires the Company to

comply with, among other things, a maximum net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

The maximum net leverage ratio permitted by the Credit Agreement is 5.50 to 1.00 for the quarterly period ended

June 29, 2024; 5.00 to 1.00 for the quarterly reporting period ending September 28, 2024; 4.80 to 1.00 for the quarterly

reporting period ending December 28, 2024; and 4.00 to 1.00 for each quarterly reporting period occurring thereafter.

The minimum interest coverage ratio permitted by the Credit Agreement is 1.25 to 1.00 for the quarterly period ended

June 29, 2024; 1.50 to 1.00 for the quarterly reporting periods ending September 28, 2024 and December 28, 2024; and

3.00 to 1.00 for each quarterly reporting period occurring thereafter.

The carrying amount of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement approximates fair value because

interest rates approximate the current rates available to the Company. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the

Company pays a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on its leverage ratio. The Credit Agreement

matures in December 2026. The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of June 29, 2024.

The following table summarizes the Company’s borrowings under the credit facility ($ in thousands):


	June 29, 2024	December 30, 2023
Outstanding borrowings	$540,200	$539,500
Outstanding letters of credit	$7,147	$7,147
Additional borrowing capacity	$132,653	$138,353
Weighted-average interest rate	8.4%	8.5%

6. Leases

The Company leases its retail, office and manufacturing space under operating leases which, in addition to the minimum

lease payments, may require payment of a proportionate share of the real estate taxes and certain building operating

expenses. While the Company’s local market development approach generally results in long-term participation in given

markets, the retail store leases generally provide for an initial lease term of five to 10 years. The Company’s office and

manufacturing leases provide for an initial lease term of up to 15 years. In addition, the Company’s mall-based retail

store leases may require payment of variable rent based on net sales in excess of certain thresholds. Certain leases may

contain options to extend the term of the original lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole

discretion. Lease options are included in the lease term only if exercise is reasonably certain at lease commencement.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees. The Company also leases

vehicles and certain equipment under operating leases with an initial lease term of three to six years.

The Company’s operating lease costs include facility, vehicle and equipment lease costs, but exclude variable lease

costs. Operating lease costs are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, after consideration of rent

escalations and rent holidays. The lease term for purposes of the calculation begins on the earlier of the lease

commencement date or the date the Company takes possession of the property. During lease renewal negotiations that

extend beyond the original lease term, the Company estimates straight-line rent expense based on current market

conditions. Variable lease costs are recorded when it is probable the cost has been incurred and the amount can be

reasonably estimated.

At June 29, 2024, the Company’s finance right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were not significant.

Under the Company’s 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 pay period, the Company makes a contribution equal

to a percentage of the employee’s contribution. During the three months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, the

Company’s contributions, net of forfeitures, were $1.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively and during the six months

ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, were $3.2 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

11. Net Income per Common Share

The components of basic and diluted net (loss) income per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share

amounts):


	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2024	July 1, 2023	June 29, 2024	July 1, 2023
Net (loss) income	$(5,051)	$754	$(12,533)	$12,219
Reconciliation of weighted-average shares outstanding:
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	22,614	22,460	22,560	22,378
Dilutive effect of stock-based awards	—	42	—	165
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	22,614	22,502	22,560	22,543
Net (loss) income per share – basic	$(0.22)	$0.03	$(0.56)	$0.55
Net (loss) income per share – diluted	$(0.22)	$0.03	$(0.56)	$0.54

For the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, otherwise dilutive stock-based awards have been excluded from the

calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, as their inclusion would have had an anti-dilutive effect on

our net loss per diluted share. Additional potential dilutive stock-based awards totaling 1.3 million for both the three

months ended June 29, 2024 and July 1, 2023, and 1.3 million and 1.2 million for the six months ended June 29, 2024

and July 1, 2023, respectively, have been excluded from the diluted net (loss)/income per share calculations because

these stock-based awards were anti-dilutive.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business,

including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with U.S.

generally accepted accounting principles, the Company records a liability in its 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. If a material loss is reasonably possible but not known or probable, and may be reasonably

estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, the

Company has not established an estimated range of reasonably possible material losses either because it believes that is

has valid defenses to claims asserted against it, the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would

enable it to establish an estimate, or the potential loss is not material. The Company currently does not expect the

outcome of pending legal proceedings to have a material effect on its 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 the Company could adversely impact its consolidated results of operations, financial

position or cash flows. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred.

Purported Class Action Complaint

On December 15, 2023, a former Field Services team member filed a purported class action Complaint in the Superior

Court of California, County of Santa Clara, alleging violations of California’s meal and rest break law and additional wage

and hour derivative claims under the California Labor Code. While the representative plaintiff was in the Field Services

workforce, the Complaint does not limit the purported plaintiff class to that group, but rather extends to all non-exempt

Sleep Number employees in the state. The plaintiff alleges that Sleep Number failed to provide compliant meal or rest

breaks, failed to pay wages owed due to alleged off the clock work, failed to pay overtime, minimum wage and wages

due at termination, thus resulting in inaccurate wage statements, all in violation of California law. The Complaint seeks

damages in the form of unpaid regular and premium wages, statutory penalties, pre-judgment and post-judgment

interest, plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and costs. On February 22, 2024, the plaintiff filed a related lawsuit in the same county

alleging violations of a broad range of California Labor Code wage and hour violations under the state’s Private Attorney

General Act (PAGA), including the same meal and rest break, and wage and hour, violations as appear in the purported

class action. Sleep Number has a pending motion to compel arbitration which includes a request to enforce the class

action waiver that the former Field Services team member signed when they agreed to arbitrate any employment

disputes. The Court stayed the PAGA case pending resolution of the motion to compel arbitration in the purported class

action case.

Shareholder Class Action Complaints

On December 14, 2021, purported Sleep Number shareholder, Steamfitters Local 449 Pension & Retirement Security

Funds (Steamfitters), filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of

Minnesota (the District of Minnesota) on behalf of all purchasers of Sleep Number common stock between February 18,

2021 and July 20, 2021, inclusive, against Sleep Number, Shelly Ibach and David Callen, the Company’s former

Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Steamfitters alleges material misstatements and omissions in certain

of Sleep Number’s public disclosures during the purported class period, in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified

monetary damages, reasonable costs and expenses and equitable/injunctive or other relief as deemed appropriate by

the District of Minnesota.

On February 14, 2022, a second purported Sleep Number shareholder, Ricardo Dario Schammas, moved for

appointment as lead plaintiff in the action. On March 24, 2022, the District of Minnesota heard argument on Schammas’s

motion, and subsequently appointed Steamfitters and Schammas as Co-Lead Plaintiffs (together, Co-Lead Plaintiffs). On

July 19, 2022, Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint, which, like the predecessor complaint, asserts

claims against Sleep Number, Shelly Ibach, and David Callen under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Co-

Lead Plaintiffs purport to assert these claims on behalf of all purchasers of Sleep Number common stock between

February 18, 2021 and July 20, 2021. On September 19, 2022, Defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended

complaint, which motion was heard by the Court on January 17, 2023. On July 10, 2023, the Court issued an order

dismissing the Plaintiffs’ consolidated amended complaint with prejudice.

Shareholder Derivative Complaint

On May 12, 2022, Gwendolyn Calla Moore, as the appointed representative of purported Sleep Number shareholder

Matthew Gelb, filed a derivative action (the Derivative Action) in the District of Minnesota against Jean-Michel Valette,

Shelly Ibach, Barbara Matas, Brenda Lauderback, Daniel Alegre, Deborah Kilpatrick, Julie Howard, Kathleen Nedorostek,

Michael Harrison, Stephen Gulis, Jr., David Callen, and Kevin Brown. Moore purports to assert claims on behalf of Sleep

Number for breaches of fiduciary duty, waste, and contribution under Sections 10(b) and 21(d) of the Exchange Act.

Moore’s allegations generally mirror those asserted in the securities complaint described above. The Moore complaint

seeks damages in an unspecified amount, disgorgement, interest, and costs and expenses, including attorneys’ and

experts’ fees.

On September 13, 2022, the District of Minnesota entered a joint stipulation staying all proceedings in the Derivative

Action pending the outcome of any motion to dismiss the Steamfitters consolidated amended complaint. On July 10,

2023, the District of Minnesota in the Steamfitters case dismissed the consolidated amended complaint with prejudice,

as noted above. The Plaintiff in the Derivative Action subsequently moved the Court to voluntarily dismiss its the

Complaint and on January 22, 2024, the District of Minnesota dismissed the Derivative Action without prejudice.

Results of Operations

Quarterly and Year-to-Date Results

Quarterly and year-to-date operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including

increases or decreases in sales, timing, amount and effectiveness of advertising expenditures, changes in sales return

rates or warranty experience, timing of investments in growth initiatives and infrastructure, timing of store openings/

closings and related expenses, changes in net sales resulting from changes in the Company’s store base, timing of new

product introductions and related expenses, timing of promotional offerings, competitive factors, changes in commodity

costs, disruptions in global supplies or third-party service providers, seasonality of retail and bedding industry sales,

consumer sentiment and general economic conditions. The extent to which these external factors will impact the

Company’s business and its consolidated financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly

uncertain and cannot be predicted. Therefore, the 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, 2024 were as follows:

•Net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2024 of $408 million decreased 11% from $459 million for the same

period one year ago. The mattress industry is in a historic recession, consumer purchasing power remains limited,

and consumers are scrutinizing their spending.

•The net sales change resulted from an 11% comparable sales decrease in Total Retail. For additional details, see the

components of total net sales change on page 19.

•Sales per store (sales for stores open at least one year, Total Retail, including online, phone and chat) on a trailing

twelve-month basis for the period ended June 29, 2024 totaled $2.7 million, compared with $3.1 million for the

same period last year.

•Operating income for the three months ended June 29, 2024 was $6 million, compared with $11 million in the prior-

year period. The $5 million decrease in operating income was driven by the lower net sales offset by a 1.5 ppt.

increase in the gross profit rate, and an $18 million reduction in operating expenses. Operating expenses for the

three months ended June 29, 2024 included $2 million of restructuring costs.

•Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 29, 2024 was $28 million, compared to $35 million in the prior-

year period as ongoing cost reduction actions partially offset the year-over-year net sales decline.

•The 1.5 ppt. gross profit rate increase was primarily due to improvement in commodity prices and operating

efficiencies. See the Gross profit discussion on page 20 for additional details.

•The $18 million reduction in the Company’s operating expenses was due to lower sales and marketing and research

and development expenses, partly offset by $2 million of restructuring costs.

•Net loss for the three months ended June 29, 2024 was $5 million, compared with net income of $1 million for the

same period one year ago. Net loss per diluted share was $0.22, compared with net income per diluted share of

$0.03 for the comparable period one year ago.

•The Company’s adjusted return on invested capital (Adjusted ROIC) was 3.7% on a trailing twelve-month basis for

the period ended June 29, 2024, compared with 12.3% for the comparable period one year ago.

•The Company generated $24 million in cash from operating activities for the six months ended June 29, 2024,

compared with $19 million for the same period one year ago.

•Free cash flow provided $9 million for the six months ended June 29, 2024, compared with using $11 million for the

same period one year ago.

•As of June 29, 2024, the Company had $540 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility.

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 29, 2024 with Three Months Ended July 1, 2023

Net sales

Net sales for the three months ended June 29, 2024 of $408 million decreased 11% from $459 million for the same

period one year ago. The mattress industry is in a historic recession, consumer purchasing power remains limited, and

consumers are scrutinizing their spending.

The net sales change consisted primarily of an 11% comparable sales decrease in Total Retail.

The $50.4 million net sales decrease compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a

$40.2 million decrease in Retail comparable net sales; (ii) a $7.0 million decrease from online, phone and chat; and (iii) a

$3.2 million decrease from net store closings and other. Total Retail smart bed unit sales decreased 8% compared with

the prior year. Total Retail average revenue per smart bed unit decreased by 3% to $5,802, compared with $5,990 in the

prior-year period.

Gross profit

Gross profit of $241 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024 decreased by $23 million, or 9%, compared with

$264 million for the same period one year ago. The gross profit rate increased to 59.1% of net sales for the three months

ended June 29, 2024, compared with 57.6% for the prior-year comparable period.

The current-year gross profit rate increase of 1.5 ppt. was mainly due to: (i) improvement in commodity prices and

operating efficiencies, increased the rate by 2.2 ppt.; (ii) favorability in sales return and exchange costs, increased the

rate by 0.7 ppt.; partly offset by (iii) product mix of our FlexFit smart adjustable bases, which pressured the rate by 1.3

ppt. In addition, the gross profit rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of other factors, including

changes in warranty expenses, manufacturing and supply chain operations and performance-based incentive

compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 29, 2024 were $182 million, or 44.7% of net sales,

compared with $198 million, or 43.1% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The current-year sales and

marketing expenses rate increase of 1.6 ppt. was primarily due to the deleveraging impact of an 11% net sales decline

offset by an 8% decrease in expenses including a 7% lower media spend.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled $40 million, or 9.7% of net sales, for the three months ended

June 29, 2024, compared with $40 million, or 8.7% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The $0.2 million decrease in

G&A expenses consisted mainly of: (i) a $1.8 million decrease in employee compensation on lower headcount; offset by

(ii) a $1.0 million year-over-year increase in company-wide, performance-based incentive compensation due to the

expected performance against the full-year targets in the current year; and (iii) $0.6 increase in other miscellaneous

expenses. The G&A expenses rate increased by 1.0 ppt. in the current-year period, compared with the same period one

year ago due to the items discussed above offset by the deleveraging impact of lower net sales.

Research and development expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased to $12 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024,

compared with $15 million with the same period last year primarily due to lower headcount and outside services. While

the Company’s consumer innovation pipeline remains robust, it is re-prioritizing R&D resources in this highly constrained

environment.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased to $12 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024, compared with $10 million for

the same period one year ago. The $2 million increase was mainly driven by a higher weighted-average interest rate

compared with the same period one year ago.

Restructuring Costs

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company initiated cost reduction actions to reduce operating expenses and accelerate

gross margin initiatives, and recognized $15.7 million of restructuring costs in that quarter. In addition to the costs

incurred in 2023, the Company incurred an additional $1.8 million and $12.4 million of restructuring costs during the

three and six months ended June 29, 2024, respectively. Charges incurred related to this initiative were comprised of

contract termination costs, severance and employee-related benefits, professional fees and other, and asset impairment

charges and are included in the restructuring costs line in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The

Company expects an additional $1 million to $2 million of restructuring costs to be incurred through the remainder of

2024.

Income tax (benefit) expense

Income tax benefit totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024, compared with income tax expense

of $0.5 million for the same period last year. The change in income tax benefit/expense was primarily due to the impact

of (loss) income before income tax levels.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 29, 2024 with Six Months Ended July 1, 2023

Net sales

Net sales for the six months ended June 29, 2024 decreased by $106 million, or 11%, to $879 million, compared with

$985 million for the same period one year ago. The mattress industry is in a historic recession, consumer purchasing

power remains limited, and consumers are scrutinizing their spending.

The net sales decrease consisted primarily of an 11% comparable sales decrease in Total Retail. For additional details,

see the components of total net sales change on page 19.

The $106 million net sales decrease compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) an

$84 million decrease in Retail comparable net sales; (ii) a $19 million decrease in online, phone and other sales; and (iii) a

$3 million decrease resulting from net store closings. Total smart bed unit sales declined 9% compared with the same

period one year ago. Average revenue per smart bed unit in Total Retail decreased by 2% to $5,782, compared with

$5,913 in the prior-year period.

Gross profit

Gross profit of $518 million for the six months ended June 29, 2024 decreased by $57 million, or 10%, compared with

$575 million for the same period one year ago. The gross profit rate increased to 58.9% of net sales for the six months

ended June 29, 2024, compared to 58.3% in the prior-year comparable period.

The current-year gross profit rate increase of 0.6 ppt. was impacted by: (i) improvement in commodity prices and

operating efficiencies, increased the rate by 1.6 ppt.; (ii) favorability in sales return and exchange costs, increased the

rate by 0.3 ppt.; partly offset by (iii) product mix of our FlexFit smart adjustable bases, which pressured the rate by 1.3

ppt. In addition, the gross profit rate may fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to a variety of other factors, including

changes in warranty expenses, manufacturing and supply chain operations and performance-based incentive

compensation.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 29, 2024 were $391 million, or 44.5% of net sales,

compared with $428 million, or 43.5% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The current-year sales and

marketing expenses rate increase of 1.0 ppt. was primarily due to deleveraging impact of a 11% net sales decline offset

by a 9% decrease in expenses including 8% lower media spend.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (G&A) expenses totaled $79 million, or 8.9% of net sales, for the six months ended June 29,

2024, compared with $79 million, or 8.0% of net sales, in the prior-year period. The $0.5 million decrease in G&A

expenses consisted of: (i) a $3.0 million reduction in employee compensation on lower headcount; (ii) a $1.2 million

decrease in other occupancy expenses; largely offset by (iii) an increase in miscellaneous other expenses, which

benefited during the same period one year ago from legal and insurance settlements of $1.8 million; and (iv) a $1.1

million increase in depreciation and amortization. The G&A expenses rate increased by 0.9 ppt. in the current-year

period, compared with the same period one year ago due to the deleveraging impact of the 11% net sales decrease

partially offset by the net expense reductions discussed above.

Research and development expenses

Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased by 20% to $24 million for the six months ended June 29, 2024,

compared with $30 million for the same period one year ago on lower outside services and headcount. While the

Company’s consumer innovation pipeline remains robust, it is reprioritizing R&D resources in this highly constrained

environment.

Interest expense, net

Interest expense, net increased to $25 million for the six months ended June 29, 2024, compared with $19 million for the

same period one year ago. The $6 million increase was mainly driven by a higher weighted-average interest rate

compared with the same period one year ago.

Restructuring Costs

In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company initiated cost reduction actions to reduce operating expenses and accelerate

gross margin initiatives, and recognized $15.7 million of restructuring costs in that quarter. In addition to the costs

incurred in 2023, the Company incurred $12.4 million of restructuring costs in the first six months of 2024. Charges

incurred related to this initiative were comprised of contract termination costs, severance and employee-related benefits,

professional fees and other, and asset impairment charges and are included in the restructuring costs line in the

Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company expects an additional $1 million to $2 million of

restructuring costs to be incurred through the remainder of 2024.

Income tax (benefit) expense

Income tax benefit totaled $0.4 million for the six months ended June 29, 2024, compared with income tax expense of

$6 million last year. The change in income tax expense was primarily due to the change in (loss) income before income

taxes levels and the impact of discrete tax expenses. Discrete tax expense, primarily stock-based compensation tax

shortfalls, was $2.4 million for the six months ended June 29, 2024, compared to $1.0 million for the same period last

year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Managing liquidity and capital resources is an important part of the Company’s commitment to deliver superior

shareholder value over time. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities

and cash available under its $680 million revolving credit facility, as amended. As of June 29, 2024, the Company does

not have any off-balance sheet financing other than its $7 million in outstanding letters of credit. The cash generated

from ongoing operations and cash available under the revolving credit facility are expected to be adequate to maintain

operations, and fund anticipated expansion, strategic initiatives and contractual obligations such as lease payments and

capital commitments for new retail stores for the foreseeable future.

Changes in cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 29, 2024 primarily consisted of $24 million of

cash provided by operating activities, a $6 million decrease in short-term borrowings which included a decrease of $7

million in book overdrafts, partly offset by an increase of $1 million in the revolving credit facility, $14 million of cash

used to purchase property and equipment and $3 million of cash used to issue notes receivable.

The following table summarizes cash flows (in millions). Amounts may not add due to rounding differences:


	Six Months Ended
	June 29, 2024	July 1, 2023
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$23.5	$18.7
Investing activities	(17.0)	(30.3)
Financing activities	(7.0)	11.6
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$(0.5)	$0.0

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 29, 2024 was $24 million, compared with $19

million for the six months ended July 1, 2023. Significant components of the year-over-year change in cash provided by

operating activities included: (i) a $27 million fluctuation in inventory due to lower sales volumes and operational

improvements; (ii) a $10 million fluctuation in customer prepayments; partially offset by (iii) a $25 million decrease in net

income for the six months ended June 29, 2024 compared with the six months ended July 1, 2023; and (iv) an $8 million

fluctuation in accounts payable due to timing of vendor payments.

Net cash used in investing activities to purchase property and equipment was $14 million for the six months ended

June 29, 2024, compared with $30 million for the same period one year ago. In addition, the Company issued $3 million

of notes receivable during the six months ended June 29, 2024.

Net cash used in financing activities was $7 million for the six months ended June 29, 2024, compared with net cash

provided by financing activities of $12 million for the same period last year. Short-term borrowings decreased by $6

million during the current-year period due to a $1 million increase in borrowings under the revolving credit facility to

$540 million and a $7 million decrease in book overdrafts, which are included in the net change in short-term

borrowings. During the six months ended June 29, 2024, the Company repurchased $1 million of its stock compared

with $4 million (based on settlement dates, in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock awards) during

the same period one year ago. The Company made no share repurchases under its Board-approved share repurchase

program in either period.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company suspended share repurchases under its Board-approved share

repurchase program. At June 29, 2024, there was $348 million remaining authorization under the Board-approved

$600 million share repurchase program. There is no expiration date governing the period over which the Company can

repurchase shares.

At June 29, 2024, the Company had $540 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility, $7 million in

outstanding letters of credit and net liquidity available under the credit facility of $133 million. Total availability under its

revolving credit facility was $680 million, which amortizes by $2.5 million per quarter through December 2026. At

June 29, 2024, the Company’s leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement was 4.4x versus the permissible net

leverage ratio of 5.5x, the weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility was 8.4% and the

Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

Return on Invested Capital (Adjusted ROIC)

Adjusted ROIC is a financial measure the Company uses to determine how efficiently it deploys its capital. It quantifies

the return the Company earns on its adjusted invested capital. Management believes Adjusted ROIC is also a useful

metric for investors and financial analysts. The Company computes Adjusted ROIC as outlined below. Its definition and

calculation of Adjusted ROIC may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions and calculations used by other

companies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company is exposed to changes in market-based short-term interest rates that will impact net interest expense. If

overall interest rates were one percentage point higher than current rates, annual net income would decrease by

$4.1 million based on the $540 million of borrowings under the credit facility at June 29, 2024. The Company does not

manage the interest-rate volatility risk of borrowings under the credit facility through the use of derivative instruments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains 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. The Company’s management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial

officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as

of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, its principal executive officer and

principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end

of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended

June 29, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control

over financial reporting.
