1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Business & Basis of Presentation


WeThe Company prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and ninesix months ended September 30, 2017July 1, 2023 of Select ComfortSleep Number Corporation and its 100%-owned subsidiaries (Select Comfort(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 necessary to present fairly ourits financial position as of September 30, 2017July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2016,2022, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. OurThe 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 ourthe most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in ourthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162022 and other recent filings with the SEC.


The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires usthe 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. Ourperiods and could be material. The Company’s critical accounting policies consist of stock-based compensation, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.


The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Select ComfortSleep Number Corporation and ourits 100%-owned subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Revenue Recognition

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had deferred revenue totaling $71 million and $61 million, of which $28 million and $21 million are included in other current liabilities, respectively, and $43 million and $40 million are included in other non-current liabilities, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. We also have related deferred costs totaling $41 million and $33 million, of which $16 million and $11 million are included in other current assets, respectively, and $25 million and $22 million are included in other non-current assets, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. The deferred revenue and costs are recognized over the product’s estimated life of four years.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance on the accounting for, and disclosure of, stock-based compensation which we adopted effective January 1, 2017. The new guidance is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements, including the income tax impact, forfeitures and classification on the statement of cash flows. Under the previous guidance, excess tax benefits and deficiencies were recognized in additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. Upon adoption of the new guidance, these excess tax benefits or deficiencies are required to be recognized as discrete adjustments to income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations on a prospective basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, excess tax benefits of $0.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, were recognized as a reduction of income tax expense, rather than in additional paid-in capital.

In addition, under the new guidance, excess income tax benefits from stock-based compensation arrangements are classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. This resulted in an increase to operating cash flows of $0.2 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. We elected to apply the new cash flow classification guidance prospectively. The prior-year statement of cash flows has not been adjusted.

We have also elected to continue to estimate the number of stock-based awards expected to vest, as permitted by the new guidance, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur.

Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This new guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2018. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this new guidance. When we adopt this new guidance, we expect to use the modified retrospective approach which will result in an adjustment to opening retained earnings, but would not restate prior periods' financial statements. Based on our analysis thus far, we believe the impact of adopting the new guidance will not be material to our consolidated financial statements. As interpretations of the new rules continue to evolve in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, we will monitor developments and will finalize our conclusions on our revenue recognition policy, disclosure requirements and changes that may be necessary to our internal controls over financial reporting.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on accounting for leases that generally requires most leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. This new guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The provisions of this new guidance are to be applied using a modified retrospective approach, with elective reliefs, which requires application of the new guidance for all periods presented. We are evaluating the effect of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. This new guidance is effective for us beginning December 30, 2018.

Highlights

Financial highlights for the periodthree months ended September 30, 2017July 1, 2023 were as follows:

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased 9%July 1, 2023 of $459 million decreased from $549 million for the same period one year ago. Demand was impacted by historically low consumer sentiment. Prior-year net sales benefited from the delivery of high-revenue smart beds from backlog due to $403delayed supply of semiconductor chips.
The net sales change consisted of a 18% comparable sales decrease in Total Retail offset by additional sales from 13 net new stores opened in the past 12 months that added 2 percentage points (ppt.) of growth. For additional details, see the components of total net sales change on page 16.
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 July 1, 2023 totaled $3.1 million, compared with $368$3.5 million for the same period last year.
Operating income for the three months ended July 1, 2023 was $11 million, compared with $50 million in the prior-year period. The $39 million decrease in operating income was driven by the lower net sales and a 1.6 ppt. decrease in the gross profit rate offset by a $22 million reduction in operating expenses.
The 1.6 ppt. gross profit rate decrease was primarily due to prior year’s delivery of high-revenue smart beds and bases, partially offset by pricing actions taken over the past twelve months. See the Gross profit discussion on page 18 for additional details.
The $22 million reduction in the Company’s operating expenses was mainly due to lower marketing expenses.
Net income for the three months ended July 1, 2023 decreased to $1 million, compared with $35 million for the same period one year ago. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were affected by: (i)income per diluted share was $0.03, compared with $1.54 last year.
The Company achieved an approximately $25 million shift in sales from our second quarter to our third quarter as a resultadjusted return on invested capital (Adjusted ROIC) of a delay in deliveries and shipments related to an inventory shortage from one of our new suppliers (this delay has been resolved and we don't expect a shortage in the future), and (ii) temporary disruptions from hurricanes during our Labor Day sales event that reduced third quarter net sales by an estimated $12 to $15 million.

The 9% sales increase was driven by 6 percentage points (ppt.) of growth from sales generated by 26 net new stores opened in the past 12 months and a 5% comparable sales increase in our Company-Controlled channel, partially offset by a decrease in our Wholesale/Other channel sales.
Sales per store (for stores open at least one year)12.3% on a trailing twelve-month basis for the period ended September 30, 2017 were $2.4 million, up 5% from $2.2 million in the prior-year comparable period.
In May 2017, we began selling our Sleep Number 360™ i7 and i10 smart beds. The Sleep Number 360 smart bed won 13 awards at CES, including being named the Best of Innovation Honoree in the Home Appliance category. We plan to launch a third smart bed model (the p6) in the fourth quarter, and remain on track to complete the phased implementation of our 360 smart bed line by the first half of next year.

The Company generated $19 million in cash from operating income rate decreased to 9.7% of net sales,activities for the six months ended July 1, 2023, compared with 10.6% of net sales for the same period last year. The decrease in operating income rate primarily resulted from transition costs associated with the launch of our Sleep Number 360 smart beds and the evolution of our supply chain.
Net income for the quarter was $25.6 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with $25.7 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the same period one year ago.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time to time in variousThe Company’s legal proceedings arisingare discussed in Note 12,Commitments and Contingencies, Legal Proceedings, in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principlesNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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 effectthis Quarterly Report 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 consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.Form 10-Q.


On January 12, 2015, Plaintiffs David and Katina Spade commenced a purported class action lawsuit in New Jersey state court against Select Comfort alleging that Select Comfort violated New Jersey consumer statutes by failing to provide to purchasing consumers certain disclosures required by the New Jersey Furniture Regulations. It is undisputed that plaintiffs suffered no actual damages or in any way relied upon or were impacted by the alleged omissions. Nonetheless, on behalf of a purported class of New Jersey purchasers of Select Comfort beds and bases, plaintiffs seek to recover a $100 statutory fine for each alleged omission, along with attorneys’ fees and costs. Select Comfort removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, which subsequently granted Select Comfort’s motion to dismiss. Plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, which has certified two questions of law to the New Jersey Supreme Court relating to whether plaintiffs who have suffered no actual injury may bring claims. The New Jersey Supreme Court has accepted the certified questions and oral arguments are expected to be heard in the near future. As the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey determined, we believe that the case is without merit and the order of dismissal should be affirmed.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

OurIn addition to the risks discussed below and other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s business, financial condition and operating results are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including both those that are specific to ourthe Company’s 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 ourthe Company’s 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 facethe Company faces because ourits business operations could also be affected by additional risk factors that are not presently known to usthe Company or that weit currently considerconsiders to be immaterial to its operations.

Bank failures or other events affecting financial institutions could adversely affect our operations.liquidity and financial performance.

The recent and potential future disruptions in access to bank deposits or lending commitments due to bank failures and banking industry instability could materially and adversely affect the Company’s liquidity, access to cash and credit, and the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, as well those of the Company’s third-party suppliers or vendors. The recent closures of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Signature Bank and their placement into receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) along with the FDIC’s seizure and sale of First Republic Bank created market disruption and uncertainty with respect to the financial condition of a number of other banking institutions in the United States. While the Company does not have any direct exposure to SVB, Signature Bank, or First Republic Bank, the Company does maintain its cash at financial institutions, occasionally in balances that exceed the current FDIC insurance limits.

If other banks and financial institutions enter receivership or become insolvent in the future due to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, the Company’s ability to access its cash and cash equivalents, including transferring funds, making payments or receiving funds, and the Company’s access to credit, as well as those of its third-party suppliers or vendors, may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.
