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 and ninesix months ended September 28, 2019June 27, 2020 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 SeptemberJune 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018, 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 29, 201828, 2019 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.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


Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Effective December 30, 2018 (beginning of fiscal 2019), we adopted ASC

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a Staff Q&A, Topic 842 Leases, usingand 840: Accounting For Lease Concessions Related to the modified-retrospective approach. We have chosenEffects of the effective date asCOVID-19 Pandemic. To provide clarity in response to the date of initial application and have appliedCOVID-19 pandemic crisis, the new guidanceFASB staff believes that it would be acceptable for entities to all existing leases.

The new guidance establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires usmake an election to recognize an ROU asset andaccount for lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. We have elected the following practical expedients and accounting policiesconcessions related to the adoptioneffects of the new lease standard:

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).

We did not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs;


We did not elect the use of hindsight;

We adopted an accounting policy for short-term leases allowing us to not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less; and

We elected the option to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of our leases.

In accordance with the new guidance on December 30, 2018, we recorded $299 million of net operating lease ROU assets and $327 million of operating lease liabilities ($52 million recorded in current operating lease liabilities and $275 million in non-current operating lease liabilities). Deferred rent and lease incentive liabilities associated with historical operating leases totaling $28 million were reclassifiedConsequently, for concessions related to the operatingeffects 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 ROU assetsmodification 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 ASC Topic 842.the modified contract being substantially the same as or less than total payments required by the original contract. The adoptionFASB 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 new guidance had no impact on accumulated deficit, net income or net cash providedconsideration is substantially the same as that required by operating activities. At December 30, 2018, our finance ROU assets and lease liabilities were not significant.

See Note 6, Leases,the original contract. The staff expects that there will be multiple ways to account for further information.

those deferrals, none of which the staff believes are more preferable than the others. Two of those methods are:

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 adopted option a. above and continue to recognize rent expense on a straight-line basis. We deferred approximately $5 million in rent cash payments from the second quarter of fiscal 2020 to future periods, including $3.5 million of rent payments related to leases where we have a signed agreement related to the deferrals and the remainder related to leases we are still in the process of negotiating with the lessors. See Note 6. Leases, for further information.

2. Fair Value Measurements


At SeptemberJune 27, 2020 and December 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018, we had $8$10 million and $6$8 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 $10 million and $8 million at June 27, 2020 and $6 million at SeptemberDecember 28, 2019, and December 29, 2018, 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.

Our $450 millioncredit facility as of June 27, 2020, had a total commitment amount of $525 million. The credit facility is for general corporate purposes and to meet our seasonal working capital requirements and to repurchase our stock.requirements. 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 includes an accordion feature which allows us to increase the amount of the credit facility from $450 million to $600 million, subject to lenders' approval. The credit agreement matures in February 2024. We were in compliance with all financial covenants as of September 28, 2019.

June 27, 2020.


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 an additional $75 million remaining 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 was 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 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.

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.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Beginning in 2019 in conjunction with our adoption of ASC Topic 842,

Leases
, right-of-use (ROU) assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of future lease payments over the lease term. Most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate nor is the rate available to us from our lessors. As an alternative, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, including publicly available data, in determining the present value of lease payments.

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 iscan be reasonably estimable.estimated. Future payments for real estate taxes and certain building operating expenses for which we are obligated are not included in operating lease costs. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet as an ROU asset or operating lease liability. We recognize operating lease costs for these short-term leases, primarily small equipment leases, on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

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.

13. COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing government restrictions resulted in the temporary closure of 47% of retail stores on average during the three months ended June 27, 2020. More than 95% of our stores were open as of June 27, 2020. The pandemic has adversely impacted our revenue growth and our financial performance. The length and severity of the reduction in consumer demand due to the pandemic and the impact on our future financial performance remains uncertain.

In response to 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.

COVID-19 Pandemic - Impact on our Business

The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing government restrictions resulted in the temporary closure of 47% of our retail stores on average during the three months ended June 27, 2020. More than 95% of our stores were open as of June 27, 2020. The pandemic has adversely impacted our revenue and overall financial performance. The length and severity of the reduction in consumer demand due to the pandemic and the impact on our future financial performance remains uncertain. See Part II: Item 1A. Risk Factors for further discussion of the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

In response to the pandemic, we have prioritized the health and safety of our team members, serving our customers and ensuring business continuity. We have taken decisive actions to strengthen our liquidity, cash flows and financial position, and to mitigate 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. Upon onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented precautionary and sanitary guidelines throughout our operations, including stores, manufacturing, home delivery and headquarters based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) recommendations.

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

In April 2020, we furloughed nearly 40% of our team members with another 30% working reduced hours. The majority of our team members returned to work as stores reopened and customer demand increased during the quarter. In response to changes in the business, we have restructured some teams, which resulted in less than 10% of positions being eliminated from across the country as we reallocated headcount to support the changing needs of our business.
A significant amount of our team members’ compensation depends on Company performance against predetermined 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’ cash compensation has been meaningfully reduced to-date 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 halted most discretionary projects across the company.
We negotiated 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:

Added $75 million of additional liquidity on April 3, 2020 through an incremental 364-day term loan under our credit facility’s $150 million accordion.
Suspended share repurchases under our Board-approved share repurchase program for the remainder of 2020.
Reduced capital expenditures to $22 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020, compared with $34 million during the comparable period one year ago.
Net liquidity available under our credit facility was $294 million at June 27, 2020 - $129 million greater than one year ago.
Our leverage ratio as defined in our credit agreement was 2.8x as of June 27, 2020. The maximum leverage ratio under our credit agreement is 4.5x.

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, per employee, 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.
Provides for deferred payment of the employer portion of social security taxes through the end of 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due December 31, 2022. This will provide us with additional liquidity during 2020.

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.


Highlights

Financial highlights for the periodthree months ended September 28, 2019June 27, 2020 were as follows:

Net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2019 increased 14% to $475 million, compared with $415 million for the same period one year ago. Net sales for the three months ended September 29, 2018 were impacted by an approximately $24 million shift in sales from our third quarter to our fourth quarter.


The 14% net sales increase resulted from a 10% comparable sales increase in our Company-Controlled channel and a 5 percentage point (ppt.) increase in sales from 33 net new stores opened in the past 12 months. For additional details, see the components of total net sales change on page 14.

The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing government restrictions resulted in the temporary closure of 47% of our retail stores on average during the three months ended June 27, 2020. We took decisive action to manage liquidity and costs through the challenging economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. For additional details, see "COVID-19 Pandemic - Impact on our Business" above.

Sales per store (Company-Controlled channel sales for stores open at least one year, including online and phone sales) on a trailing twelve-month basis for the period ended September 28, 2019 totaled $2.9 million, 8% higher than the same period one year ago.

As of June 27, 2020, more than 95% of our stores were open.

Operating income for the three months ended September 28, 2019 was $39 million, an increase of 55%, or $14 million, from the prior-year period. Our operating income rate increased to 8.2% of net sales, compared with 6.1% of net sales for the same period last year. The prior-period's operating income and operating income rate were affected by the sales shift highlighted above.

Net sales for the three months ended June 27, 2020 decreased 20% to $285 million, compared with $356 million for the same period one year ago.

The current-period's operating income and operating income rate were positively impacted by the 14% increase in net sales and a 2.0 ppt. improvement in the gross profit rate. The 2.0 ppt. gross profit rate improvement was primarily due to three factors: (i) a favorable sales mix of high-margin products; (ii) the elimination of prior year’s product transition costs; and (iii) current-period manufacturing and supply chain efficiency gains, and benefit-driven product price increases.

The 20% net sales decrease was due to a 21% comparable sales decrease in Total Retail, partially offset by 1 percentage point (ppt.) of sales growth from net new stores opened in the past 12 months. For additional details, see the components of total net sales change on page 17.

Net income for the three months ended September 28, 2019 increased 54% to $28 million, compared with $18 million for the same period one year ago. Earnings per diluted share were $0.94, up 81% compared with $0.52 last year.

Sales per store (sales for stores open at least one year, Total Retail, including online and phone sales) on a trailing twelve-month basis for the period ended June 27, 2020 totaled $2.8 million, 1% higher than the same period last year.

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 28, 2019 increased by $55 million to $190 million, compared with $134 million for the same period one year ago.

As part of our efforts to navigate the uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, we reduced operating expenses 17%, or $35 million, to $175 million, compared with $210 million in the prior-year period while continuing to support our innovation initiatives.

At September 28, 2019, we ended the quarter with $214 million of borrowings under our $450 million revolving credit facility.

Operating loss for the three months ended June 27, 2020 was $12 million, a decrease of $19 million, compared with operating income of $7 million in the prior-year period.

During the three months ended September 28, 2019, we repurchased 0.9 million shares of our common stock under our Board-approved share repurchase program at a cost of $40 million (based on trade date, at an average of $42.77 per share). Effective as of September 29, 2019, our Board approved an increase in the remaining authorization under our Board-approved share repurchase program to $500 million.

13

The operating loss for the three months ended June 27, 2020 resulted from the 20% decrease in net sales and a 3.8 ppt. decrease in the gross profit rate. The 3.8 ppt. gross profit rate decrease was primarily due to two factors: (i) an unfavorable sales mix of lower-margin products driven primarily by an increase to 28% of sales from online, phone and chat compared with 7% in the prior-year period; and (ii) deleverage from the 20% net sales decrease, including the associated operational inefficiencies.
During the three months ended June 27, 2020, we continued to prioritize investments in near- and long-term growth drivers, including $8.3 million of R&D expenses that support our innovation strategy. In addition, during the three months ended June 27, 2020, we purchased a patent portfolio to further strengthen our competitive position related to the cooling and heating of beds and bedding.

Index

Net loss for the three months ended June 27, 2020 was $13 million, compared with net income of $4 million for the same period one year ago. Net loss per diluted share was $0.45, compared with net income per diluted share of $0.14 last year.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 27, 2020 increased by $17 million, or 24%, to $87 million, compared with $70 million for the same period one year ago.
Cash and cash equivalents at June 27, 2020 totaled $2 million. At June 27, 2020, we had $227 million of borrowings under our credit facility, including the $75 million 364-day term loan which we added on April 3, 2020. Net liquidity available under our credit facility was $294 million at June 27, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Managing our liquidity and capital resources is an important part of our commitment to deliver superior shareholder value. value over time. The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing government restrictions have resulted in the temporary closure of most of our retail stores since mid-March, with 47% of our retail stores on average closed during the three months ended June 27, 2020. More than 95% of our stores were open as of June 27, 2020. We took the following decisive actions to manage liquidity and capital resources through the challenging economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic:
.
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 secured an initial interest rate of approximately 3.27%, which was 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 $75 million term loan provides increased liquidity and preserves 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. Net liquidity available under our credit facility was $294 million at June 27, 2020.
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 under our Board-approved share repurchase program, temporarily 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. The majority of our team members returned to work as stores reopened and customer demand increased during the quarter. In response to changes in the business, we have restructured some teams, which resulted in less than 10% of positions being eliminated from across the country as we reallocated headcount to support the changing needs of our business. 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’ cash compensation has been meaningfully reduced to-date 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 halting most discretionary projects.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities and cash available under our $450 million revolving credit facility.facility, supplemented by the $75 million 364-day term loan we added on April 3, 2020. The cash generated from ongoing operations and cash available under our revolving credit facility are expected to be adequate to maintain operations, and fund anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future.

As of September 28, 2019, cash and cash equivalents totaled $2 million. Available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility was $233 million at September 28, 2019.


Changes in the cash and cash equivalents during the six months ended June 27, 2020 primarily consisted of $190$87 million of cash provided by operating activities which wasthat were partially offset by $47$22 million of cash used to purchase property and equipment, a $26 million decrease in short-term borrowings and $139$42 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock (based on settlement, $130$39 million under our Board-approved share repurchase program and $9$3 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants).

Non-GAAP Data Reconciliations (continued)

Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

(dollars in thousands)

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. The tables below reconcile net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) and total invested capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures, to the comparable GAAP financial measures:

___________________________

(2)(1)Rent expense is added back to operating income to show the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.

Depreciation is based on the average of the last five fiscal quarters' ending capitalized operating lease obligations (see note 6) for the respective reporting periods with an assumed thirty-year useful life. This life assumption is based on our long-term participation in given markets though specific retail location lease commitments are generally 5 to 10 years at inception. This is subtracted from operating income to illustrate the impact of owning versus leasing the related assets.

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of September 28, 2019,June 27, 2020, we were not involved in any unconsolidated special purpose entity transactions. Other than our $3$4 million in outstanding letters of credit, we do not have any off-balance-sheet financing.

There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations, other than in the ordinary course of business,amendment to our credit agreement, since the end of fiscal 2018.2019. See Note 5, Credit Agreement, of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our credit agreement. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 201828, 2019 for additional information regarding our other contractual obligations.

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 29, 2018.28, 2019. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since the end of fiscal 2018.

2019 other than adding goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as a critical accounting policy.

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 six months ended June 27, 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 $1.6$1.7 million based on the $214$227 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility at September 28, 2019.June 27, 2020. 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 September 28, 2019,June 27, 2020, 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 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 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, and expressly disclaims the recovery of any purported individual specific relief or underpaid wages. The parties tentatively reached a settlement pending Court approval, which includes the settlement and release of certain additional related claims. We intend to continue vigorously defending this matter in the event it does not settle.


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”)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. The case is scheduled for trialOn January 14, 2020, the Court granted summary judgment in February 2020.favor of Sleep Number, finding that Sleep Number’s products do not infringe the Patents. Level Sleep has filed an appeal of the Court’s summary judgment order. We intend to continue vigorously defenddefending this matter.


ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our


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

22

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

The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption, which is adversely affecting our business operations and our financial results. Consumer concern 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 resulted in the temporary closure of the majority of our stores nationwide for a period of time between mid-March and mid-May. As of June 27, 2020, more than 95% of our stores were open, but as the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we may need to temporarily close some or all of our stores again. 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. Even as certain restrictions begin to be eased or lifted, consumers may continue to take additional precautions that could cause a reduction in foot-traffic to certain of our locations or other changes in consumer spending behavior over time, and new restrictions may be implemented. With temporary closures to our retail store locations across the country and our delivery operations adversely impacted, we 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. This shift to our employees working remotely has amplified certain risks to our business, including increased demand on our information technology resources and systems and increased risk of cybersecurity breaches and IT outages. In addition, as recommendations and/or mandates have been eased or lifted across the country, we have implemented new health and safety policies at headquarters, stores, and our manufacturing and assembly locations as well as for our home delivery teams, which are intended to reduce the risk of contracting or spreading the coronavirus for employees, contractors, and customers who are unable to perform their roles or transact business remotely. The company has incurred additional costs and has diverted certain internal resources to develop and implement these new policies as well as provide, and in some cases manufacture, the personal protective equipment necessary to follow these new policies. The return to working in-person presents the risk that our new health and safety policies may not adequately protect our employees, contractors, and customers from contracting or spreading the coronavirus. We continue to monitor the effectiveness of our new policies to inform our future plans for welcoming all employees, even those who can work remotely, back to our facilities.

25

Index

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, 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 continue 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 or whose jobs have been eliminated.

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

discontinuing share repurchases under our Board-approved share repurchase program;
reducing capital expenditures;
negotiating rent deferrals and abatements for stores closed due to COVID-19;
initially furloughing nearly 40% of our team members and reducing the working hours of another 30% of our team members;
currently, the majority of our team members returned to work as stores reopened and customer demand increased during the quarter. In response to changes in the business, we have restructured some teams, which resulted in less than 10% of positions being eliminated from across the country as we reallocated headcount to support the changing needs of our business;
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 reducing 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, COVID-19 and governmental mandates or recommendations in these jurisdictions could require closures of our facilities and otherwise 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 as well as our sole source of supply for adjustable foundations, particularly as a result of governmental mandates or recommendations. We expect that these impacts will continue through the third quarter of 2020, and may continue to impact our results in the remainder of 2020 and beyond.

Our temporary reduction of 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 situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid and the potential for an adverse effect on our business and our financial results increases the longer the virus impacts activity levels in the United States and globally. For this reason, we cannot reasonably estimate with any degree of certainty the extent of the impact COVID-19 will have on our business. The extent and duration of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, operations, and financial results will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of

the outbreak, governmental mandates and recommendations, business and workforce disruptions, and the related impact on consumer confidence and spending, all of which are highly uncertain and unpredictable.
