SOMNIGROUP INTERNATIONAL INC. (SGI)·Q1 2025 Earnings Summary
Executive Summary
- Q1 2025 delivered mixed results: adjusted EPS of $0.49 beat consensus $0.47, but revenue of $1.60B missed consensus $1.63B and adjusted gross margin of 42.2% was below 43.0% consensus. Drivers included Mattress Firm consolidation (stub period), intercompany eliminations, and acquisition-related costs; international strength offset U.S. softness . Values retrieved from S&P Global for consensus.
- Management revised FY2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $2.30–$2.65, citing weaker U.S. bedding industry and tariff timing; CFO flagged Q2 EPS around ~$0.50 with a one-time ~$5M tariff headwind before price increases mitigate in Q3 .
- Positives: International net sales +5.7% reported (+7.7% CC), favorable mix and efficiency improvements, and synergy execution ahead of plan (targeting ~$15M cost synergies in 2025, on path to ≥$100M run-rate by 2028) .
- Challenges: GAAP net loss of $(33.1)M on acquisition costs and interest, U.S. demand softness around Presidents’ Day, commodity inflation, and tariff exposure requiring mitigation and price increases from Q3 .
- Potential stock catalysts: clear delivery on synergy ramp and advertising efficiency, successful Sealy Posturepedic launch scaling by Memorial Day, tariff pass-through and Q2 margin stabilization, and positive signs of demand normalization .
What Went Well and What Went Wrong
What Went Well
- International resilience and product momentum: “This is the eighth quarter of mid- to high single digit sales expansion on a constant currency basis… new Tempur collection… broadened our total addressable market” . International net sales +5.7%, CC +7.7% .
- Mattress Firm outperformance and synergy acceleration: Like-for-like sales down ~1% vs industry down high-single digits; near-term cost synergies raised to ~$15M in 2025, tracking ≥$100M annual run-rate by 2028 .
- Sealy Posturepedic relaunch: “We expect the product to be ~80% floored by Memorial Day… early results are encouraging with solid performance and share gain,” backed by national advertising .
What Went Wrong
- GAAP profitability: Operating income fell to $13.2M (from $131.5M YoY) and GAAP EPS was $(0.17) due to acquisition-related costs and transaction expenses; adjusted EPS declined slightly to $0.49 (from $0.50) .
- U.S. demand softness: Presidents’ Day was “challenged,” with choppy intra-quarter trends; consumer confidence deterioration forced a guidance reset and industry outlook to down mid-single digits .
- Cost/tariff headwinds: CFO flagged ~$25–$30M commodity cost pressure and a one-time ~$5M tariff headwind in Q2 before pricing offsets fully take effect in Q3; mix and deleverage weighed on margins .

Earnings Call Themes & Trends
Management Commentary
- CEO: “Our results this quarter both reflect the transformational acquisition of Mattress Firm and highlight our ability to navigate a weak global market… leveraging scale, operational flexibility and manufacturing capabilities” .
- CEO on international: “Eighth quarter of mid- to high single digit sales expansion on a constant currency basis… new Tempur collection… late stage customization manufacturing process… expanded distribution by over 10%” .
- CFO: “Intercompany elimination will reduce Tempur Sealy sales but will be margin accretive and neutral to EPS… revised adjusted EPS to $2.30 to $2.65… expect gross margins slightly above 44%” .
- CEO on tariffs: “We expect beginning in the third quarter… actions will fully offset the impact of the tariffs currently in place… [with] a one-time tariff related headwind of approximately $5 million in the second quarter” .
- CEO on synergies: “On track to achieve our target of at least $100 million in annual run rate synergies by 2028… now anticipate $15 million of those cost synergies in 2025” .
Q&A Highlights
- Demand trajectory: Q1 choppy with Presidents’ Day weakness; sequential stabilization into Q2; H2 slight improvement expected; Q2 EPS ~ $0.50 (down ~20% YoY) .
- Tariffs: ~$750M COGS exposure; mitigated ~50% via supplier moves and cost sharing; residual covered by ~2% price increase effective Q3; ~$5M headwind in Q2 only .
- Mattress Firm economics: Incremental dollar flow-through ~40%; divested stores impact ~$100M sales with 30–40% flow-through; like-for-like sales down ~1% but taking share .
- Brand/mix: Tempur strongest; Sealy growth likely faster for a couple of quarters (margin percent headwind but EBITDA-accretive); minor planned cannibalization with Stearns & Foster .
- Advertising and merchandising: Consolidated scale enables ~$20M marketing efficiencies; reimagined Mattress Firm advertising (“Sleep Easy”) and diversified vendor partnerships (Purple, Leggett & Platt) .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Adjusted EPS beat amid top-line miss; the quality mix (direct channel expansion post-acquisition) and efficiency gains underpin margin resilience despite deleverage and tariff timing .
- Guidance reset reflects realistic U.S. industry backdrop; watch Q3 for margin recovery as price increases offset tariffs and Sealy launch scales .
- International momentum is durable with product-led distribution expansion; continued CC growth supports multi-year margin stability .
- Synergy delivery is a central equity narrative: near-term ($15M 2025) and long-term (≥$100M run-rate) cost and revenue synergies, plus ~$20M advertising efficiencies and logistics optimization .
- Balance sheet leverage (3.51x per credit facility) is manageable; expect de-levering as EBITDA scales, capex normalizes (~$200–225M run-rate), and interest savings accrue .
- Near-term trading: stock likely responsive to Q2 cadence (tariff headwind absorbed, gross margin sequential lift), Mattress Firm comp performance, and Sealy launch velocity .
- Medium-term thesis: vertically-integrated scale (manufacturing + retail), cohesive tech roadmap (Fullpower-AI), and brand-led merchandising at Mattress Firm should drive share gain and earnings power as macro normalizes .
