Business Segment Highlights
The Company’s business segments include North America and International. Corporate operating expenses are not included in either of the business segments and are presented separately as a reconciling item to consolidated results.
North America net sales increased 2.6% to $595.8 million as compared to $580.6 million in the third quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis(2), North America net sales increased 3.0% as compared to the third quarter of 2017. GAAP gross margin was 38.5% as compared to 41.1% in the third quarter of 2017. GAAP operating margin was 13.7% as compared to 17.2% in the third quarter of 2017.
North America net sales through the wholesale channel increased $6.3 million to $553.6 million. North America net sales through the direct channel increased $8.9 million, or 26.7%, to $42.2 million, as compared to the third quarter of 2017, driven primarily by growth from expanded retail stores.
North America adjusted gross margin(2) declined 130 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2017. The decline was driven primarily by commodity cost inflation and unfavorable Tempur product mix. These were partially offset by favorable brand mix, pricing and operational improvements. North America adjusted operating margin(2) declined 150 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2017. The decline in adjusted operating margin(2) was primarily driven by the decline in adjusted gross margin(2).
International net sales increased 2.1% to $133.7 million as compared to $130.9 million in the third quarter of 2017. On a constant currency basis(2), International net sales increased 4.9% as compared to the third quarter of 2017. Gross margin was 53.0% as compared to 52.4% in the third quarter of 2017. GAAP operating margin was 19.3% as compared to 18.0% in the third quarter of 2017.
International net sales through the wholesale channel decreased $3.6 million to $107.3 million and net sales through the direct channel increased $6.4 million, or 32.0%, to $26.4 million as compared to the third quarter of 2017.
International gross margin improved 60 basis points as compared to gross margin for the third quarter of 2017. The improvement in gross margin was driven primarily by the change in classification of royalty income due to the adoption of new revenue recognition guidance and operational improvements. These were partially offset by unfavorable mix, foreign exchange and commodity cost inflation. International adjusted operating margin(2) improved 20 basis points as compared to the third quarter of 2017. The improvement was driven by favorable operating expense leverage and the improvement in gross margin, offset by the change in classification of royalty income due to the adoption of new revenue recognition guidance.
Corporate operating expense decreased to $23.0 million as compared to $25.9 million in the third quarter of 2017.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2018, the Company reported $32.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.7 billion in total debt, as compared to $41.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.8 billion in total debt as of December 31, 2017.
Financial Guidance
The Company updated its financial guidance for 2018. For the full year 2018, the Company currently expects adjusted EBITDA(1) to range from $425 million to $435 million due to retailer credit issues, the under-performance of our International operations, primarily in Europe, and incremental commodity headwinds primarily related to tariffs which are not yet offset by the pricing actions announced for January 2019.
The Company also noted that its expectations are based on information available at the time of this release, and are subject to changing conditions, many of which are outside the Company's control.
(1) All amounts presented for 2017 reflect reclassifications to previously reported amounts to adjust for discontinued operations.
(2) This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Constant Currency Information" below.

Adjusted EBITDA as used in connection with the Company's 2018 outlook is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes or has otherwise been adjusted for items impacting comparability. The Company is unable to reconcile this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP net income, its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, without unreasonable efforts, because the Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP net income in 2018 but would not impact adjusted EBITDA. Such items may include restructuring activities, foreign currency exchange rates, income taxes (including the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017) and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s full year 2018 GAAP financial results.
Discontinued Operations
The Company completed an evaluation of its International operations and identified certain subsidiaries with low profitability and difficult operating environments with higher operational risk and volatility. As a result of this evaluation, the Company has decided to divest of the net assets of certain of these subsidiaries and enter into licensee relationships in those markets. Certain of the dispositions occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2018, with the remaining actions expected to be taken over the next several months. The Company has accounted for these subsidiaries as discontinued operations in its financial statements. These subsidiaries earned $6.4 million and $26.8 million in net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The Company expects to receive royalty payments from these licensee relationships in these markets in future years.
Please refer to Exhibit 99.2, furnished with the Current Report on Form 8-K, for a recast of selected financial information for 2017 and 2018, by quarter and year-to-date periods, adjusted for discontinued operations, which is provided for comparative purposes only.
Recent Changes to Revenue Recognition Accounting Standards
Due to a new revenue recognition standard adopted on January 1, 2018, the Company changed the classification of royalty income from a component of operating income to revenue. In the third quarter of 2018, adoption of this new standard increased North America wholesale net sales by $1.6 million and increased International wholesale net sales by $3.9 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year. There is no impact to reported operating income, net income, or EBITDA arising from this change in classification. Although these earnings measures did not change, net sales and gross margin increased compared to the same period in the prior year and operating margin was negatively impacted. Adoption of the new standard will continue to impact the Company's results and their comparability to the prior year period, in the fourth quarter of 2018.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(in millions, except percentages, ratios and per common share amounts)
The Company provides information regarding adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, adjusted operating income (expense), adjusted operating margin, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, consolidated funded debt and consolidated funded debt less qualified cash, which are not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be alternatives to net income and earnings per share as a measure of operating performance or an alternative to total debt. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with performance measures that better reflect the Company’s underlying operations and trends, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income and operating income. The adjustments management makes to derive the non-GAAP financial measures include adjustments to exclude items that may cause short-term fluctuations in the nearest GAAP financial measure, but which management does not consider to be the fundamental attributes or primary drivers of the Company's business.
The Company believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the Company’s underlying results from continuing operations and trends, and management uses these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage the Company’s business, to evaluate its consolidated and business segment performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace, to establish operational goals and to provide continuity to investors for comparability purposes. Limitations associated with the use of these non-GAAP financial measures include that these measures do not present all of the amounts associated with the Company's results as determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental in nature and should not be construed as more significant than comparable financial measures defined by GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these presentations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. For more information about these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP financial measure, please refer to the reconciliations on the following pages.
Constant Currency Information
In this press release the Company refers to, and in other press releases and other communications with investors the Company may refer to, net sales, earnings or other historical financial information on a “constant currency basis," which is a non-GAAP financial measure. These references to constant currency basis do not include operational impacts that could result from fluctuations in foreign currency rates. To provide information on a constant currency basis, the applicable financial results are adjusted based on a simple mathematical model that translates current period results in local currency using the comparable prior corresponding period’s currency conversion rate. This approach is used for countries where the functional currency is the local country currency. This information is provided so that certain financial results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of business performance.

Under the Company's senior secured credit agreement entered into during 2016 ("2016 Credit Agreement"), the definition of adjusted EBITDA contains certain restrictions that limit adjustments to GAAP net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2018, the Company's adjustments to GAAP net income when calculating adjusted EBITDA did not exceed the allowable amount under the 2016 Credit Agreement.
The ratio of adjusted EBITDA under the 2016 Credit Agreement to consolidated funded debt less qualified cash is 4.05 times for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2018. The 2016 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a ratio of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash to adjusted EBITDA of less than 5.00:1.00 times.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Company's reported total debt to the calculation of consolidated funded debt less qualified cash as of September 30, 2018. "Consolidated funded debt" and "qualified cash" are terms used in the 2016 Credit Agreement for purposes of certain financial covenants.
