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 OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 of Sleep Number Corporation and ourits 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 ourits financial position as of OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 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. In addition, based on the duration and severity of the current global situation involving the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, historic low consumer sentiment and other external factors, including but not limited to general economic conditions, inflation, consumer sentiment, store restrictions mandated by federal, state or local authorities and global supply chain disruptions (especially disruptive supply and flow of semiconductor chips and other electronic components), the extent to which these external factors 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 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 January 1,December 31, 2022 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. In addition, during the current environment involving external factors such as COVID-19, historic low consumer sentiment and the war in Ukraine, 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. OurThe Company’s critical accounting policies consist of stock-based compensation, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

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

2. Fair Value Measurements

At OctoberJuly 1, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and January 1, 2022, wethe Company had $16$18 million and $19$17 million, respectively, of debt and equity securities that fund ourthe deferred compensation plan and are classified in other non-current assets. WeThe Company also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $16$18 million and $19$17 million at OctoberJuly 1, 20222023 and January 1,December 31, 2022, 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 usthe 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.

6. Leases

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

OurThe 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 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.

At October 1, 2022, our finance right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were not significant.

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.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-LeadCo- 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. Defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended complaint on September 19, 2022, which motion remains pending.

The special litigation committee has concluded that it would not be in the best interests of Sleep Number and its shareholders to take any of the actions requested in the demands at this time.

13. COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted our 2021 and 2022 financial performance. In the first nine months of 2021, even with the COVID-19 challenges, we generated strong demand and financial performance. In the first nine months of 2022, our financial performance was impacted by: (i) the disruptive flow of semiconductor chips which affected our ability to deliver products to our customers; (ii) incremental costs from labor and material inflation, and expediting costs resulting from current-period global supply chain shortages; and (iii) record low consumer sentiment. The pandemic's future effects on our global supply chain and the potential for supply disruption (e.g., the lack or slowing of critical components caused by labor shortages or government-mandated work closures), effects on consumer demand and effects on our ongoing financial performance remains uncertain. See Part II, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for additional discussion on the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact on our business.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

OurThe Company’s legal proceedings are discussed in Note 12, Commitments and Contingencies, Legal Proceedings, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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 ourits operations.

Bank failures or other events affecting financial institutions could adversely affect our 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.
