1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business & Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 28, 2020April 3, 2021 of Sleep Number Corporation and our 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 necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 28, 2020April 3, 2021 and December 28, 2019,January 2, 2021, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our 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. Additionally, based on the duration and severity of the current global situation involving the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, including but not limited to general economic conditions, consumer confidence, store closings mandated by federal, state or local authorities and possible supply chain disruptions, the extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business and our consolidated financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

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, 2019January 2, 2021 and other recent filings with the SEC.

The preparation of condensed 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 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. In addition, during the current environment involving COVID-19, predicting future events will be especially challenging for management. Changes in these estimates will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods and could be material. Our 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 Sleep Number Corporation and our 100%-owned subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a Staff Q&A, Topic 842 and 840: Accounting For Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. To provide clarity in response to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, the FASB staff believes that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842 as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed (regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for the concessions explicitly exist in the contract).

Consequently, for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will not have to analyze each contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the contract and can elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance in Topic 842 to those contracts. This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or our obligations as the lessee. For example, this election is available for concessions that result in the total payments required by the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract. The FASB staff expects that reasonable judgment will be exercised in making those determinations. Some concessions will provide a deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original contract. A deferral affects the timing, but the amount of the consideration is substantially the same as that required by the original contract. The staff expects that there will be multiple ways to account for those deferrals, none of which the staff believes are more preferable than the others. Two of those methods are:

SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)


a.Account for the concessions as if no changes to the lease contract were made. Under that accounting, a lessor would increase its lease receivable, and a lessee would increase its accounts payable as receivables/payments accrue. In its income statement, a lessor would continue to recognize income, and a lessee would continue to recognize expense during the deferral period.
b.Account for the deferred payments as variable lease payments.

We are evaluating the effect of the new guidance on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and plan to select election method b. above. Under this election, deferred payments would be treated as variable rent payments, resulting in an adjustment to expense in the period in which they arise.

2. Fair Value Measurements

At March 28, 2020April 3, 2021 and December 28, 2019,January 2, 2021, we had $9$16 million and $8$12 million, respectively, of debt and equity securities that fund our deferred compensation plan and are classified in other non-current assets. We also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $9$16 million and $8$12 million at March 28, 2020April 3, 2021 and December 28, 2019,January 2, 2021, respectively, 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 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.

5. Credit Agreement

Our revolving credit facility as of March 28, 2020,April 3, 2021, had a net aggregate availability of $450 million. The credit facility is for general corporate purposes, and to meet our seasonal working capital requirements.requirements and to repurchase our stock. The credit agreement provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries and requires us to comply with, among other things, a maximum leverage ratio (4.5x) and a minimum interest coverage ratio (3.0x). Under the terms of the credit agreement, we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our leverage ratio. The credit agreement matures in February 2024. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of March 28, 2020.

On March 17, 2020, we borrowed an additional $262 million under our credit agreement, which represented all remaining amounts then available under the credit agreement. The additional borrowings were undertaken as a precautionary measure to provide increased liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of current disruption and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.April 3, 2021.
The following table summarizes our borrowings under the credit facility ($ in thousands):

Additional borrowing capacity$—  $215,503  
Weighted-average interest rate2.9 %3.5 %
On April 3, 2020, we amended the credit agreement to add a 364-day term loan facility up to an aggregate commitment of $75 million under our credit agreement for a total commitment amount of $525 million, with another $75 million available under our accordion (subject to lenders' approval). We fully drew down the term loan and secured an initial interest rate of approximately 3.27%, which is equal to the one-month LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin based on the then-current total leverage ratio. In addition, the amendment: (a) increases the floor for loans based on LIBOR to at least 0.75% and (b) prohibits the use of proceeds of the revolving loan, term loan or letters of credit under the credit agreement, as amended, to make capital distributions (as defined in the credit agreement, as amended, to include, among other items, dividends and share repurchases). No financial covenants were amended. The additional borrowings were undertaken as a precautionary measure to provide increased liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in light of current disruption and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Proceeds may be used in the future for working capital and other general corporate purposes permitted by the credit agreement, as amended.

On April 21, 2021, we amended our revolving credit facility to increase our net aggregate availability from $450 million to $600 million.

6. Leases

We lease our 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 our local market development approach generally results in long-term participation in given markets, our retail store leases generally provide for an initial lease term of five to 10 years. Our office and manufacturing leases provide for an initial lease term of up to 15 years. In addition, our 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 our sole discretion. Lease options are included in the lease term only if exercise is reasonably certain at lease commencement. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees. We also lease vehicles and certain equipment under operating leases with an initial lease term of three to five years.

Our 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 we take possession of the property. During lease renewal negotiations that extend beyond the original lease term, we estimate 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. Future payments for real estate taxes and certain building operating expenses for which we are obligated are not included in operating lease costs.

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, 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. 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, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible material losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us, the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate, or the potential loss is not material. We currently do not expect the outcome of pending legal proceedings 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 consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

On September 18, 2018, two former Home Delivery team members filed suit, now venued in San Diego County Superior Court, in Fresno County, California, alleging representative claims on a purported class action basis under the California Labor Code Private Attorney General Act. While the two representative plaintiffs were in the Home Delivery workforce, the Complaint does not limit the purported plaintiff class to that group. The plaintiffs allege that Sleep Number failed or refused to adopt adequate practices, policies and procedures relating to wage payments, record keeping, employment disclosures, meal and rest breaks, among other claims, under California law. The Complaint sought damages in the form of civil penalties and plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees. The parties have executed a settlement agreement, pending Court approval, which includesincluding the settlement and release of certain additional related claims that are contained in a consolidated complaint, currently pending in San Diego County Superior Court.

Level Sleep has asserted that five non-360® beds no longer sold and two current non-360 beds infringe the Patents. Level Sleep seeks damages in the form of a reasonable royalty. Sleep Number has asserted that the Patents are invalid and that our products do not infringe the Patents. On January 14, 2020, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of Sleep Number, finding that Sleep Number’s products do not infringe the Patents.

The lengthposition, and severity ofmitigate the reduction in consumer demand due to the pandemic and thefuture impact on our operations and financial performance.

The pandemic mainly impacted our second quarter of 2020 financial performance, as we generated strong financial performance during the full-year of 2020 and the first quarterly period ended April 3, 2021. However, the pandemic's future effects on consumer demand and our ongoing financial performance remains uncertain. See Part I: Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Part II: Item 1A. Risk Factors for furtheradditional discussion of the adverse impacts ofon the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

In response toand the pandemic, we have taken decisive actions to focus on the health and safety of our team members and customers, strengthening our liquidity, cash flows and financial position, and mitigating the future impact on our operations and financial performance. These measures include, but are not limited to, the following:

Health and Safety of our Team Members and Customers. As the COVID-19 pandemic has developed, we have taken numerous steps to support our team members and customers in practicing social distancing. In addition, we have implemented numerous other practices in our stores, manufacturing facilities and operations based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendations.

Expense Management. With the reduction in revenue growth, we have, and will continue to implement cost cutting actions, including:

We furloughed nearly 40% of our team members with another 30% working reduced hours.
A significant amount of our team members’ compensation depends on Company performance against pre-determined goals and changes in shareholder value. Our CEO will not receive any cash compensation for the balance of the year through a 50% deferral and exchanging all remaining salary for restricted stock units. In addition, our board and most of our leadership team reduced their cash compensation in exchange for restricted stock units. All team members’ compensation has been meaningfully reduced through variable compensation programs and other actions.
We temporarily suspended our 401(k) match and selected other employee benefit programs.
We reduced our sales and marketing expenses, and temporarily suspended virtually all discretionary projects across the company.
We are negotiating rent deferrals and abatements for stores closed due to COVID-19.

Liquidity, Cash Flows and Financial Position. We have taken the following actions to preserve cash, increase liquidity and strengthen our financial position:

Drew down the remaining availability under our revolving credit facility on March 17, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents at March 28, 2020 totaled $239 million.
Added $75 million of additional cash on April 3, 2020 through an incremental 364-day term loan under our credit facility’s $150 million accordion.
Suspended share repurchases for the remainder of 2020.
Reduced 2020 planned capital expenditures to approximately $35 million versus $59 million in 2019.

CARES Act. On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) into law. The CARES Act includes the following relief, among others:

Amended federal tax laws to permit 100% bonus depreciation for eligible qualified improvement property placed in service by the taxpayer after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2023.
Employers are eligible for a 50 percent refundable payroll tax credit on wages paid up to $10,000 during the crisis. The credit would be available to employers whose businesses were disrupted due to virus shutdowns and those that had a decrease in gross receipts of 50 percent or more when compared to the same quarter last year. The credit can be claimed for employees who are retained but not currently working due to the crisis for firms with more than 100 employees.

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 our store base, timing of new product introductions and related expenses, timing of promotional offerings, competitive factors, changes in commodity costs, disruptions in supplies or third-party service providers, seasonality of retail and bedding industry sales, consumer confidence and general economic conditions. In addition, based on the duration and severity of the current global situation involving the COVID-19 pandemic, the extent to which our business and our condensed consolidated financial results are impacted, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Therefore, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any future period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Managing our liquidity and capital resources is an important part of our commitment to deliver superior shareholder value. The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing government restrictions have resulted in the temporary closure of most of our retail stores since mid-March. We have taken the following decisive actions to manage liquidity and capital resources through the challenging economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic:

On March 17, 2020, we drew down an additional $262 million under our credit agreement, which represented all remaining amounts then available under the facility.
On April 3, 2020, we added a $75 million 364-day term loan under our credit agreement for a total commitment amount of $525 million, with another $75 million available under our accordion (subject to lenders' approval). We fully drew down the term loan and secured an initial interest rate of approximately 3.27%, which is equal to the one-month LIBOR rate plus the applicable margin based on the then-current total leverage ratio. No financial covenants were amended.
The $262 million and $75 million draws against our credit facility will provide increased liquidity and preserve financial flexibility in consideration of the disruption and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Proceeds may be used in the future for working capital and other general corporate purposes as permitted by the credit agreement.
On April 8, 2020, we announced additional efforts to preserve cash and manage expenses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic including, among other things, discontinuing share repurchases, reducing capital expenditures and negotiating rent deferrals and abatements for stores closed due to COVID-19. We furloughed nearly 40% of our team members with another 30% working reduced hours. Our CEO will not receive any cash compensation for the balance of the year through a 50% deferral and exchanging all remaining salary for restricted stock units. In addition, our Board of Directors and most of our leadership team reduced their cash compensation in exchange for restricted stock units. All team members’ compensation has been meaningfully reduced through variable compensation programs and other actions. We are temporarily suspending the Company's 401(k) match and selected other benefit programs. We also reduced our sales and marketing expenses, and temporarily suspended virtually all discretionary projects.

value over time. Our primary sources of liquidity are the $239 million of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet at March 28, 2020, the $75 million that we drew down on April 3, 2020 under our credit facility and future cash flows provided by operating activities. Our cashactivities and cash equivalents, theavailable under our $600 million revolving credit facility (increased from $450 million to $600 million as of April 21, 2021). The cash generated from futureongoing operations and cash available under our revolving credit facility (subject to lenders' approval) are expected to be adequate to maintain operations, and fund anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future.

Changes in the cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended March 28, 2020April 3, 2021 primarily consisted of $85$112 million of cash provided by operating activities and a $201$74 million net increase in short-term borrowings, that were partially offset by $10$12 million of cash used to purchase property and equipment, and $41$179 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock (based on settlement, $38.6$162 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $2.8$17 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants).

As of March 28, 2020,April 3, 2021, we had $446$315 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility andfacility. We also had $4 million in outstanding letters of credit.Net liquidity available under our credit facility was $131 million at April 3, 2021. The credit agreement provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of our assets and those of our subsidiaries and requires us to comply with, among other things, a maximum leverage ratio (4.5x) and a minimum interest coverage ratio (3.0x). Our leverage ratio as defined in our credit agreement was 2.3x as of April 3, 2021. Under the terms of the credit agreement, we pay a variable rate of interest and a commitment fee based on our leverage ratio.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)
We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) as net income plus: income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments. 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.

ROIC is a financial measure we use to determine how efficiently we deploy our capital. It quantifies the return we earn on our invested capital. Management believes ROIC is also a useful metric for investors and financial analysts. We compute ROIC as outlined below. Our definition and calculation of ROIC may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions and calculations used by other companies.

Critical Accounting Policies

We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2019.January 2, 2021. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since the end of fiscal 2019 other than adding goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a critical accounting policy.2020.

DescriptionJudgments and UncertaintiesEffect if Actual Results
Differ from Assumptions
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets of businesses acquired. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets include trade names/trademarks.

See Note 1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 5, Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a complete discussion of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
The determination of fair value involves uncertainties because it requires management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to estimate industry and economic factors and the profitability of future business strategies. Management’s assumptions also include projected revenues, operating profit levels and discount rates, as well as consideration of any other factors that may indicate potential impairment.In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, management completed its annual goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment tests and determined there was no impairment. We believe our assumptions and judgments used in estimating cash flows and determining fair value were reasonable. However, unexpected changes to such assumptions and judgments could affect our impairment analyses and future results of operations, including an impairment charge that could be material. There have been no significant changes for the quarter ended March 28, 2020.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to changes in market-based short-term interest rates that will impact our net interest expense. If overall interest rates were one percentage point higher than current rates, our annual net income would decrease by $3.4$2.4 million based on the $446$315 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility at March 28, 2020.April 3, 2021. We do not manage the interest-rate volatility risk of borrowings under our credit facility through the use of derivative instruments.

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 principal executive officer and principal 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 Control

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 28, 2020,April 3, 2021, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time to time in variousOur 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, we record a liabilityNotes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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. 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, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible material losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us, the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate, or the potential loss is not material. We currently do not expect the outcome of pending legal proceedings 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.

On March 27, 2018, Level Sleep, LLC (Level Sleep) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Sleep Number in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. In its Complaint, Level Sleep claims that Sleep Number infringed two patents owned by Level Sleep, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,807,698 and 7,036,172 (the Patents), by, among other things, making, using, offering for sale, or selling within the United States, and/or importing into the United States, beds with sleep surfaces having foam with multiple zones in the longitudinal direction. Level Sleep has asserted that five non-360® beds no longer sold and two current non-360 beds infringe the Patents. Level Sleep seeks damages in the form of a reasonable royalty. Sleep Number has asserted that the Patents are invalid and that our products do not infringe the Patents. On January 14, 2020, the Court granted summary judgment in favor of Sleep Number, finding that Sleep Number’s products do not infringe the Patents. Level Sleep has filed a notice of appeal of the Court’s summary judgment order. We intend to continue vigorously defending this matter.Form 10-Q.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the risks discussed below and other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, ourOur 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 Operationsand 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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, an adverse effect on our business and our financial results.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption, which is adversely affecting our business operations and our financial results. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, consumer fear about becoming ill with the virus and recommendations and/or mandates from federal, state and local authorities to close certain businesses, stay at home, practice social distancing or self-quarantine have increased resulting in the temporary closure of the majority of our stores nationwide since mid-March. These actions have adversely affected our business, operations, demand for our product, traffic to our stores, and macroeconomic factors that affect us, such as consumer confidence and spending which have, in turn resulted in a loss of sales and profits. With most of our retail store locations across the country temporarily closed and our delivery operations adversely impacted, we have shifted to scale our digital capabilities including: remote retail selling, customer service, private appointments, flexible work schedules, solutions for contactless delivery, and remote access for team members across the country. We may further restrict the operations of our stores, delivery operations, and manufacturing and distribution facilities if we deem this necessary or if recommended or mandated by authorities and these measures could have a further material impact on our sales and profits.

In addition, we expect to incur increased costs in our response to the pandemic, including, but not limited to, costs incurred to implement the operational changes described above and certain payments to or other costs relating to team members who are not working during the pandemic.

In response to the significant reduction in customer visits to, and spending at, our stores caused by COVID-19, we have taken actions to maintain liquidity including:

discontinuing share repurchases;
reducing capital expenditures;
negotiating rent deferrals and abatements for stores closed due to COVID-19;
furloughing nearly 40% of our team members and reducing the working hours of another 30% of our team members;
24

Index

CEO, board members and most of our leadership team deferred all or a portion of their cash compensation for the balance of the year in exchange for restricted stock units;
meaningfully reducing all team members’ compensation through variable compensation programs and other actions;
temporarily suspending our 401(k) match and selected other employee benefit programs;
reducing our sales and marketing expenses; and
temporarily suspending virtually all discretionary projects across the company.

It is possible that our cost reduction efforts may be insufficient to maintain adequate liquidity. Also, if we do not respond appropriately to the pandemic, or if customers do not perceive our response to be adequate for a particular region or our company as a whole, we could suffer damage to our reputation and our brand, which could continue to adversely affect our business and financial results in the future.

We are highly dependent on the effectiveness of our marketing messages and the efficiency of our advertising expenditures in generating consumer awareness and sales of our products. In light of our reduced marketing expenses and adjustments to our marketing messages due to COVID-19, we may not be as successful in developing effective messages and achieving efficiency in our advertising expenditures.

Our business depends heavily on the uninterrupted operation of our two main manufacturing plants located in Irmo, South Carolina and Salt Lake City, Utah as well as our assembly distribution centers, two of which are co-located at the manufacturing plants and others located in Baltimore, Maryland and the greater Los Angeles, California area. Our business also depends on the successful operation of our bedding collection fulfillment center in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota and headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The operation of all of our facilities is critically dependent on our team members who staff these locations, and COVID-19 could directly threaten or impact their health and/or ability to work, and, therefore, adversely affect the operations of our facilities. In addition, governmental mandates or recommendations in these jurisdictions could limit or adversely impact our ability to continue these operations.

COVID-19 also impacted, and may continue to impact, our retail stores, home delivery operations, logistics, and domestic and foreign supply chain, including raw materials and components we source from third parties, particularly as a result of governmental mandates or recommendations.

Our temporary suspension of virtually all discretionary spending across the company and the inability or limitations of certain suppliers, both domestic and foreign, to operate due to governmental mandates or recommendations has delayed and may continue to delay the introduction of new product lines.

We have seen, and may continue to see, significant deterioration in macroeconomic factors that typically affect us, such as consumer confidence and spending.

The extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, operations, and financial results will also depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, governmental mandates and recommendations, and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.
