Somnigroup International Inc. reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.58, meeting the analyst consensus estimate, while total net sales of $1.823 billion missed the $1.882 billion consensus by 3.16%. The bedding giant’s net income rose 12% year-on-year to $110.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by margin expansion despite a 3.0% decline in revenue. The company also lowered its full-year 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $2.85 to $3.15, falling short of the $3.14 analyst estimate, signaling caution amid integration costs for its pending Leggett & Platt acquisition.

Total net sales decreased to $1,823.5 million from $1,880.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. Gross margin expanded to 44.8% from 44.0%, with adjusted gross margin reaching 45.1%. Operating income increased 12.1% to $201.7 million, while adjusted operating income decreased slightly by 3.5% to $216.6 million due to transaction costs associated with the pending Leggett & Platt deal. Earnings per diluted share rose 10.6% to $0.52 from $0.47, and adjusted EPS grew 9.4% to $0.58 from $0.53.

Segment Performance

The Mattress Firm segment saw net sales decrease 2.8% to $922.2 million, primarily driven by store closures, although same-store sales were up slightly. Mattress Firm gross margin declined to 33.3% from 35.6%, impacted by product mix, consumer financing costs, and store investments. Adjusted operating margin fell 130 basis points to 6.5% from 7.8%.

Tempur Sealy North America reported net sales of $601.8 million, down 5.7% from $638.4 million, reflecting market conditions and the prior-year divestiture of Sleep Outfitters. However, sales to Mattress Firm increased 11.6% to $294.0 million. North America gross margin improved significantly to 61.1% from 54.5%, driven by synergies from the Mattress Firm acquisition and operational efficiencies. Adjusted operating margin expanded 400 basis points to 26.7% from 22.7%.

Tempur Sealy International net sales increased 2.0% to $299.5 million from $293.6 million. On a constant currency basis, international net sales grew 1.3%. Gross margin declined 80 basis points to 47.4% due to commodity cost inflation, partially offset by operational efficiencies. Subsequent to quarter end, the company implemented price increases to reflect higher input costs.

Financial Position and Guidance

Somnigroup ended the quarter with total debt of $4.4 billion and consolidated indebtedness less netted cash of $4.3 billion. Leverage based on the ratio of consolidated indebtedness less netted cash to adjusted EBITDA was 2.99 times for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026, well below the 5.00 times requirement under the 2023 Credit Agreement.

For the full year 2026, the company revised its expectations for adjusted EPS to a range of $2.85 to $3.15, representing an approximate 11% increase from 2025 adjusted EPS at the mid-point but missing the $3.14 consensus estimate. The Board of Directors also declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share, payable on September 3, 2026, to shareholders of record on August 20, 2026.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between declining top-line revenue and expanding profitability metrics highlights Somnigroup's focus on margin optimization over volume growth. While Mattress Firm faced headwinds from store closures and mix shifts, Tempur Sealy North America demonstrated strong leverage through synergy realization, driving consolidated gross margins higher despite commodity inflation. The significant reduction in business combination charges from $17.6 million in Q2 2025 to $7.4 million in Q2 2026 further underscores the maturation of the Mattress Firm integration. However, the downward revision in full-year guidance suggests that near-term execution risks or cost pressures may persist beyond the current quarter.
