key functions and strengthening accountability;
Reduced operating costs across the business by $136million as compared to 2024, excluding restructuring and
other non-recurring costs;

With a stronger foundation, in November 2025, the Company introduced its turnaround strategy Sleep Number Shifts, a
focused, company-wide effort to reposition the brand, expand reach to new customer groups, and reignite growth. The
aim is to drive value for shareholders, customers and team members with efforts rooted in the consumer through all
dimensions of the business. It is centered on three key areas:
Product: The Company is simplifying its offering with the goal of growing its customer base while building on the
demand from repeat customers
Marketing: The Company is modernizing its efforts by expanding channels and reach with new creative to better
connect with todays consumer and drive engagement with a focus on better ROI
Distribution: The Company is focused on optimizing store footprint as well as exploring opportunities to expand
distribution into new channels, both physical and digital.
Sleep Number Shifts is being implemented as the Company continues to execute cost savings and operating
efficiencies, including real estate optimization and right-sizing the fixed cost base. While the Company is focused on
implementing the Sleep Number Shifts and executing cost savings and operating efficiencies, it faces liquidity
challenges. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to Indebtedness and Liquidity.
Financial Highlights
Ongoing industry demand decline and the impact of lower store traffic contributed to a 16% net sales decline in 2025 for
the Company. Against this recessionary backdrop, the Company continued to focus on improving gross margins and
streamlining its cost structure to optimize Adjusted EBITDA and cash flow generation. For 2025, the Company had a
0.6percentage point decrease in gross margin rate, including an inventory write-down charge offset by the benefit of
product cost reductions through value engineering and ongoing supplier negotiations and ongoing efficiencies in our home
delivery and logistics operations. The Company also executed an additional $136million of operating cost reduction
actions for 2025, prior to restructuring and other non-recurring costs, bringing the cumulative operating cost reduction over
the last three years to $308 million. The Companys net loss for 2025 was $132 million and delivered full-year Adjusted
EBITDA of $78million, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 5.5%, down 1.6 percentage points versus the prior year,
largely a result of the year-over-year net sales decline. Our 2025 fiscal year included an extra week which we estimate
benefited net sales by $25 million.

GAAP Data Reconciliations for additional information on Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP reconciliations.

Industry and Competition
The Company competes in the bedding industry that is comprised of mattresses and foundations, pillows and
accessories. The mattress category includes both traditional innerspring models and a wide range of noninnerspring
options, such as viscoelastic and foam mattresses, hybrids, airbeds, and latex mattresses. The foundation category
includes static and adjustable foundations. The bedding industry is commoditized and highly competitive. Sleep Number
competes against regional and local specialty bedding retailers, bedding manufacturers, home furnishing stores, mass
merchants, national discount stores and online marketers.
| |
| 10 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
Manufacturers in the bedding industry mostly compete through national and regional retail partners, regional
manufacturing verticals and online direct-to-consumer. Price, quality, brand name recognition, product availability and
product performance are the primary ways manufacturers differentiate themselves. There is a high degree of
concentration among manufacturers who produce innerspring, memory foam and hybrid beds under nationally recognized
brand names, including Tempur-Pedic, Sealy, Stearns & Foster, Serta and Beautyrest. National manufacturers still
dominate the bedding industry. There has recently been market consolidation, with Somnigroup owning the Tempur-Pedic,
Sealy and Stearns & Foster brands, and also owning the Mattress Firm brand and stores. Brands including Saatva,
Purple, Casper and Nectar, which started online have now moved into traditional retail channels for growth.
Seasonality
The Companys business is modestly impacted by seasonal influences inherent in the U.S. bedding industry and general
retail shopping patterns. The U.S. bedding industry generally experiences lower sales demand in the second quarter of
the calendar year and increased sales demand during selected holiday or promotional periods.
Working Capital
The Company is able to operate with minimal working capital requirements because it sells directly to customers, utilizes
both make-to-order and make-to-stock production processes and operates retail stores that serve mainly as
showrooms. Sleep Number has historically generated sufficient cash flows to self-fund operations through an accelerated
cash-conversion cycle. The Companys Credit Agreement provides a revolving credit facility for general corporate
purposes with net aggregate availability of $655 million. The Credit Agreement matures in December 2027.
Qualified customers are offered revolving credit to finance purchases through a private-label consumer credit facility
provided by Synchrony Bank. Approximately 40% of net sales in 2025 were financed by Synchrony Bank. The Companys
current agreement with Synchrony Bank expires December31, 2028, subject to earlier termination upon certain events.
The Company pays Synchrony Bank a fee for extended credit promotional financing offers. Under the terms of the
agreement, Synchrony Bank sets the minimum acceptable credit ratings, interest rates, fees and all other terms and
conditions of the customers accounts, including collection policies and procedures. As the receivables are owned by
Synchrony Bank, at no time are the receivables purchased or acquired from the Company. Sleep Number is not liable to
Synchrony Bank for its customers credit defaults. In connection with all purchases financed under these arrangements,
Synchrony Bank pays the Company an amount equal to the total amount of such purchases, net of promotional related
discounts, upon delivery to the customer.
Governmental Regulation and Compliance
As a vertically integrated manufacturer and retailer, the Company is subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and
regulations affecting all aspects of its business. As a manufacturer, Sleep Number is committed to product quality and
safety, including adherence to all applicable laws and regulations affecting the Companys products and services.
Compliance with health, safety and environmental laws and regulations, including the federal fire retardant standards
developed by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which requires rigorous and costly testing, has increased
the cost and complexity of manufacturing the Companys products and may adversely impact the speed and cost of
product development efforts. Further, the Companys manufacturing, distribution, delivery and other business operations
and facilities are subject to additional federal, state or local laws or regulations including supply chain transparency,
conflict minerals sourcing and disclosure, end-of-life disposal, recycling and packaging requirements, transportation and
other laws or regulations relating to environmental protection and health and safety requirements.
As a retailer, the Company is subject to additional laws and regulations that apply to retailers generally and govern the
marketing and sale of the Companys products and the operation of both Sleep Number retail stores and e-commerce
activities. Many of the statutory and regulatory requirements that impact the Companys retail and e-commerce operations
are consumer-focused and pertain to activities such as the Companys promotions, advertising claims, marketing
practices, pricing, consumer credit offerings, truth-in-advertising, consumer privacy, do not call/mail requirements, text
messaging requirements, warranty disclosure, delivery timing requirements, accessibility and similar requirements.
The Companys operations are subject to federal, state and local labor laws including, but not limited to, those relating to
occupational health and safety, employee privacy, wage and hour, overtime pay, pay transparency, harassment and
discrimination, equal opportunity and employee leaves and benefits. The Company is also subject to existing and

emerging federal and state laws relating to insider trading, data security, privacy, cybersecurity disclosure, clawback policy
disclosures and greenhouse gas measurement and climate impact disclosure.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
An investment in Sleep Numbers common stock involves a high degree of risk. Stakeholders should carefully consider
the specific risks set forth below and other matters described in this Annual Report on Form 10-K before making an
investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional
risks and uncertainties, including risks and uncertainties that impact the business environment generally, those not
presently known to the Company, or those that it currently sees as immaterial, may also harm its business. If any of these
risks occur, the Companys business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be materially and
adversely affected.
Risks Related to our Business and Industry
Adverse changes in general economic conditions and consumer sentiment have reduced, and could continue to
reduce discretionary consumer spending and, as a result, have adversely affected and could continue to
adversely affect the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows, availability of credit, and financial condition.
The Companys success depends significantly upon discretionary consumer spending, which is influenced by a number of
general economic factors, including without limitation economic growth, consumer confidence and sentiment, consumer
disposable income, the housing market, employment, fuel prices, income and debt levels, interest rates, inflation, taxation,
consumer shopping trends and the level of customer traffic, political conditions, inclement weather, natural disasters,
recession and fears of recession, civil unrest and disturbances, terrorist activities, war and fears of war, as well as
perceptions of personal wellbeing and security, health epidemics or pandemics. Adverse trends in these general economic
factors and reduced consumer spending have and may continue to adversely affect the Companys sales, profitability,
cash flows, financial condition, availability of credit, including with respect to the Companys current credit facility, its ability
to service and pay down debt, and any potential new or replacement sources of credit, or cause the Company to breach
covenants or other terms contained in its Credit Agreement, which could materially adversely affect the Companys
business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. In the first quarter of 2026, to date, our net sales have
| |
| 16 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
been adversely affected by negative consumer sentiment, inclement weather, and we have experienced a year-over-year
decrease in net sales.
Although previously high inflation subsided somewhat in 2024 and 2025, it may again increase due to various economic
factors, such as the imposition of increased tariffs or other inflationary economic policies, and adversely affect the
Companys business operations and financial results by increasing the costs of fuel, shipping, raw materials, labor,
commodity, and other costs. While the Company has historically been able to pass along some cost increases to its
customers, it has not and may not be able to offset such higher costs through price increases or other means, and its
margins, profitability, cash flows, availability of credit, and financial condition have been and could continue to be
adversely impacted.
The federal funds rates have fluctuated over the past three years and remain relatively high compared to the 10-year
average, adversely affecting customer purchasing behavior. It is uncertain whether the Federal Reserve will hold, reduce,
or increase the rate going forward and such uncertainty, as well as any Federal Reserve action or non-action with respect
to the rate, has and may continue to negatively affect customer purchasing behavior, which has and may continue to
adversely affect the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows, credit availability and financial condition.
The United States (U.S.) debt ceiling and budget deficit concerns have increased the possibility of credit-rating
downgrades, economic slowdowns, or a recession in the U.S. The federal government has shutdown in 2026 and risks of
additional government shutdowns or sovereign defaults remain if the spending bills necessary to fund the government
through 2026 are not passed by Congress. Whether or not these concerns materialize, growing uncertainty may reduce
consumer confidence and increase levels of unemployment, all of which may reduce demand for the Companys products,
causing harm to its sales, profitability, cash flows, availability of credit, and financial condition.
Additionally, instability or disruptions to credit markets or the financial services industry, including banks that fail or
otherwise become distressed, could adversely affect the Companys, sales, operations, profitability, cash flows, availability
of credit, and financial condition.
Interest rates remain elevated, and may further increase, and impact the cost of servicing the Companys
indebtedness and have an adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows and stock price.
The Companys Credit Agreement currently bears interest at a variable rate. The Company bears the risk that the rates
charged by the Companys lenders will outpace expectations and the earnings and cash flow of its business. This has
reduced the Companys profitability and has potential to continue to reduce profitability in addition to the potential to
adversely affect the Companys ability to service its debt, or cause the Company to breach covenants or other terms
contained in its Credit Agreement, which could materially adversely affect the Companys business, results of operations,
cash flows and financial condition.
A reduction in the availability of, or increase in the cost of, credit to consumers generally or under the
Companys existing consumer credit programs has negatively impacted, and could continue to negatively
impact, the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
A significant percentage of the Companys sales are made under consumer credit programs through third parties. The
amount and cost of credit available to consumers may be adversely impacted by macroeconomic factors, including
general economic conditions, consumer confidence and sentiment, consumer disposable income, the housing market,
employment, fuel prices, income and debt levels, interest rates, inflation, taxation, political conditions and uncertainty with
respect to the presidential administration, inclement weather, natural disasters, recession and fears of recession, civil
unrest and disturbances, terrorist activities, war and fears of war, including the war between Russia and Ukraine and the
conflicts in the Middle East, as well as consumer perceptions of personal wellbeing and security, health epidemics or
pandemics, which could cause suppliers of credit to adjust their lending criteria and costs. These macroeconomic factors
have, and may continue to, adversely impact the cost of credit which, in turn, has and may continue to negatively impact
the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
Synchrony Bank provides credit to the Companys customers through a private label credit card agreement that is
currently scheduled to expire on December31, 2028, subject to earlier termination upon certain events. Adverse trends in
general economic factors and reduced consumer spending have and may continue to adversely affect the Companys
sales, profitability, cash flows, financial condition, availability of credit, including with respect to the Companys agreement
| |
| 17 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
with Synchrony Bank, or cause the Company to breach covenants or other terms contained in its agreement with
Synchrony Bank, which could materially adversely affect the Companys business, results of operations, cash flows and
financial condition. Synchrony Bank has discretion to control the content of financing offers to the Companys customers
and to set minimum credit standards under which credit is extended to customers.
Reduction of credit availability due to changing economic conditions, including rising inflation, increased interest rates,
changes in credit standards under the Companys private label credit card program or changes in regulatory requirements,
or the termination of its agreement with Synchrony Bank, could harm the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows and
financial condition.
The Company may not be successful in achieving the expected improvements, growth, cost savings, and other
benefits related to its turnaround strategy and such actions could have adverse effects on the Company.
The Companys turnaround strategy is centered on product, marketing and distribution, as well as ongoing cost savings
and operating efficiencies, to reignite growth and increase financial resilience. The Companys turnaround strategy and its
execution thereof may not be successful, which could adversely impact the Companys business, results, profitability, cash
flows, availability of credit, and financial condition. Current or future demand may not support the costs of the Companys
turnaround strategy, infrastructure at an acceptable margin, or vertically integrated business model. A failure or delay in
implementing or realizing the anticipated improvements, growth, cost savings, and other benefits of the turnaround
strategy could materially and adversely impact the Companys business, results, profitability, cash flows, availability of
credit, and financial condition. Investments, costs and charges necessary or incurred in connection with implementing the
turnaround strategy may be significant and have been and may continue to be higher than expected. In addition,
implementing the cost savings and operating efficiency plans has and could continue to negatively impact the Companys
workforce, partnerships, initiatives, innovation, brand, customer experience, and development plans or otherwise interfere
with the Companys ability to grow and compete effectively, each of which could adversely impact the Companys
business, results, profitability, cash flows, availability of credit, and financial condition.
Risks Related to Indebtedness and Liquidity
There is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, and this may adversely
affect our stock price, our ability to raise capital or enter into strategic transactions, and our relationships with
key stakeholders.
In accordance with ASC Topic 205-40, Going Concern, the Companys management evaluates whether there are certain
conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue
as a going concern. This evaluation includes considerations related to the Companys forecasted liquidity and cash
consumption requirements for one year from the date of issuance of our consolidated financial statements included in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As discussed in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources, the Company has, throughout 2025, announced certain fixed cost reductions, pursued
alternative financing, and continues to pursue its turnaround strategy, however the timing, costs and realization of these
cannot be guaranteed to ensure sufficient cash flow is generated to provide liquidity to meet the Companys obligations.
While these actions demonstrate a series of material steps taken to improve the Companys financial condition, the
Company has a history of net losses over the past three years and expects to continue to incur additional losses in the
near future. In addition, the Company anticipates that it will not remain in compliance with the financial covenants of its
Credit Agreement for the next twelve months. Inability to remain in compliance with such covenants will result in an event
of default under the Credit Agreement, allowing the lenders thereunder to declare all indebtedness thereunder due and
payable and terminate remaining commitments. As a result of these considerations, the Companys liquidity may be
insufficient to meet its obligations for at least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements, which
raises substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Managements plans to address the substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, as
described above, include the following actions:
execute the Companys turnaround strategy centered on product, marketing and distribution with ongoing cost
savings and operating efficiencies to reignite growth and increase financial resilience;
| |
| 18 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
engage in negotiations with the lenders in its Credit Agreement with the goal of amending or waiving financial
covenants and certain other provisions of its credit facility; and
engaged financial advisors to assist in negotiating with the lenders and identifying and securing additional capital
options, alternative financing arrangements, strategic alternatives, or other comprehensive solutions to address
the Companys capital structure and leverage needs to return to growth and create long-term value.
There can be no assurance of the Companys ability to realize these plans, and the Companys ability to realize these
plans depends, in part, on factors beyond the Companys control. As a result, the Company has concluded that
managements plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for at
least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
There may be adverse impacts to the Companys stock price, the Companys ability to obtain supplies and services on
credit and the Companys ability to raise capital, obtain waivers of the covenants under, or refinance the indebtedness
under, its Credit Agreement or enter into strategic transactions, or the Companys relationship with its key stakeholders
and other counterparties as a result of the uncertainty regarding its ability to continue as a going concern or successfully
execute its plan to address the substantial doubt related thereto. If the Company is unable to successfully execute its
mitigation plan or obtain sufficient financial resources, its business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash
flows could be materially and adversely affected and it could be forced to terminate, significantly curtail or cease our
operations, pursue strategic alternatives or commence a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
The Company will require additional capital and its access to such capital or alternative financing options may
depend on factors beyond the Companys control or may require the Company to accept unfavorable terms.
Absent a material improvement in the Companys performance, the Company will need to obtain additional capital to
enable the Company to fund its operations, execute its business and turnaround strategies, service and repay its
indebtedness or to fund other liquidity needs. If the Company is unable to obtain additional capital to fund its operations
and strategies or satisfy its debt obligations, it will have to undertake alternative financing options, such as refinancing or
restructuring its indebtedness, selling assets, reducing or delaying capital investments, raising additional capital or
pursuing strategic alternatives, including commencement of a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Companys
ability to execute on these actions will depend on numerous factors including the Companys financial condition at such
time and the condition of the capital markets and other factors beyond the Companys control. Any new capital or
refinancing of the Companys indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and could require the Company to comply
with more onerous covenants or other unfavorable terms, which could further restrict its business operations. The
Company cannot assure that any new capital raise, refinancing or debt restructuring would be possible, or if possible,
would be completed on favorable or acceptable terms. If sufficient cash from operations, refinancing, or external funding is
not available, the Company may be unable to adequately fund its business plan and operations and the Companys
business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected.
The Companys credit facility contains financial covenants and other restrictions that may limit the Companys
financial and operational flexibility or otherwise adversely affect our results of operations.
The terms of the Companys credit facility, as set out in the Credit Agreement, includes a number of covenants, restrictions
and payment requirements that limit the Companys ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, grant
liens, sell or otherwise dispose of our assets, pay dividends, make redemptions and repurchases of stock, make
investments, loans and acquisitions or change the nature of our business. These may restrict the Companys current and
future operations and could adversely affect its ability to finance its future operations or capital needs. In addition,
complying with the covenants and restrictions may make it more difficult for the Company to successfully execute its
business and turnaround strategies. In addition, the Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that, among other
things, require the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity amount and to satisfy certain leverage ratios, interest
coverage ratios and EBITDA targets. Absent a material improvement in the Companys financial performance, it will be
unable to satisfy these ratios during 2026. A failure to comply with the covenants, restrictions or payment requirements set
out in the Credit Agreement could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, would give the lenders the
right to terminate their commitments to provide additional loans, declare all borrowings outstanding, together with accrued
and unpaid interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable, increase the interest rates applicable to such debt, and
exercise rights and remedies, including by way of initiating foreclosure proceedings against any assets constituting
collateral for the obligations under the credit facilities. If our debt were to be accelerated, the Company may not have
sufficient liquidity or the ability to refinance the debt or sell sufficient assets to repay the debt, which could immediately
| |
| 19 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
adversely affect the Companys business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows. Even if the Company
were able to obtain new financing, such financing may not be on favorable or acceptable terms.
Risks Related to the Companys Marketing Strategy and Execution of Total Retail Distribution Strategy
The Companys future growth and profitability depend upon the effectiveness and efficiency of its marketing
programs and promotions.
The Company is highly dependent on the effectiveness of its marketing messages, the efficiency of its advertising
expenditures in generating consumer awareness, consideration and conversation leading to sales of its products, and the
ability to competitively price its products. Sleep Number continues to evolve its marketing strategies, adjust its messages
and promotional discounts, differentiate its products, and review the amount it spends on advertising, the timing of its
spend, and where it is spent. The Company may not always be successful in developing effective messages or
addressing consumer perception regarding the price of its products, as the consumer and competition change, or in
achieving efficiency in its advertising expenditures. The Company has been and may continue to be constrained in its
ability to invest in advertising at a rate sufficient to drive demand.
The Company relies in part upon third parties, such as social media influencers and athletes, to market its brand, and is
unable to fully control their efforts. Influencers and athletes with whom the Company maintains a relationship could
engage in behavior or use their platforms to communicate directly with Sleep Numbers customers in a manner that
reflects poorly on its brand, and these communications may be attributed to the Company or otherwise adversely affect
the Company. It is not possible to prevent such behavior, and the precautions the Company takes to prevent or detect this
activity may not be effective.
Consumers expect seamless digital experiences and interactions as a part of their shopping experience. As a result, the
Companys future growth and profitability will depend in part on (i)the effectiveness and efficiency of the Companys
online experience, including without limitation advertising and search marketing and optimization programs and how our
brand shows up in artificial intelligence overviews and summaries, in generating consumer awareness and sales of its
products; (ii)the Companys ability to prevent confusion among consumers that can result from search engines that allow
competitors to use its trademarks to direct consumers to competitors websites through confusing or misleading
advertisements; (iii) its ability to prevent Internet publication of false or misleading information regarding its products or the
Companys competitors products; (iv) reviews of Sleep Numbers products; (v) the nature and tone of consumer
sentiment, including those published online or elsewhere; and (vi) the stability and effectiveness of the Companys
website. Competitor spending on digital marketing programs has and may continue to increase, including without limitation
from a number of direct-to-consumer, digital and omnichannel retailers, which, in turn, has and may continue to increase
the cost of the Companys digital marketing programs and online search terms.
If the Companys marketing messages are ineffective or its advertising expenditures and other marketing programs,
including digital programs, are inefficient in creating awareness and consideration of its products and brand name, and in
driving consumer traffic to the Companys website, call centers, or stores, the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows,
availability of credit, and financial condition may be adversely impacted. In addition, if the Company is not effective in
preventing the publication of confusing, false or misleading information regarding its brand or its products, or if there is
publication online or elsewhere of significant negative consumer sentiment regarding the Company, brand or products,
sales, profitability, cash flows, availability of credit, and financial condition may be adversely impacted.
The Companys future growth and profitability depend on its ability to execute its Total Retail distribution
strategy.
The vast majority of the Companys sales occur through Total Retail, including its retail stores and website. The
Companys retail stores carry significant fixed costs, and it has made significant capital expenditures in that store footprint.
The Company is highly dependent on its ability to maintain and increase sales per store to cover these fixed expenses,
provide a return on its capital investments and improve the Companys operating margins. As a part of the Companys
cost savings and operational efficiencies, select stores have been closed and additional stores are expected to be closed,
and store remodels have been delayed. These closures and older retail store designs have resulted and may continue to
result in higher than expected costs, charges, continued rent liability, lost sales, lower brand awareness, weakened
customer experience, deteriorated reputation, or otherwise negatively impact the Companys sales, profitability, cash
flows, availability of credit, and financial condition.
| |
| 20 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
Some of the Companys stores are mall-based, which stores depend on the continued popularity of malls as shopping
destinations and the ability of mall anchor tenants and other attractions to generate customer traffic. Any decrease in mall
traffic, including due to increased online shopping, could adversely affect the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows,
availability of credit, and financial condition.
The Companys Total Retail distribution strategy results in relatively few points of distribution, including 600 retail stores in
50 U.S. states as of the end of 2025, Online, Phone and Chat. Several of the mattress manufacturers and retailers with
which the Company competes have significantly more brick-and-mortar points of distribution than it does, which makes
the Company highly dependent on its ability to drive consumers to its points of distribution to maintain and gain market
share.
When the Company is better positioned to extend existing leases or open new stores in the future, it may encounter
higher than anticipated rents, be unable to find or obtain suitable new locations or renew existing locations, and may need
to navigate a deteriorated reputation among potential landlords.
Risks Related to the Companys Ability to Compete Effectively
Significant competition has affected and is likely to continue to adversely affect the Companys business.
As a vertically integrated business, the Companys products and distribution face significant competition from both
manufacturers of different types of mattresses and a variety of retailers.
The mattress industry is becoming more concentrated among the largest manufacturers of innerspring mattresses and
foam mattresses and one dominant national mattress manufacturer and retailer. The dominant national mattress
manufacturer and retailer may further consolidate through an announced potential acquisition of a national foam and
adjustable base supplier. In recent years, numerous direct-to-consumer companies and low-cost importers have entered
the market, offering bed-in-a-box or similar products primarily through online distribution directly to consumers though
many now also partner with traditional mattress retailers. A variety of sleep tracking and monitoring products that compete
with the Companys SleepIQ technology have been introduced by various manufacturers and retailers, both within and
outside of the traditional mattress industry. A variety of mattress and base manufacturers have also come to market with
copycat smart beds, some featuring a version of what they market as adjustable firmness. This competition has and may
continue to increase the costs of search terms and digital advertising and otherwise adversely affect the Companys
business.
Some of the Companys competitors have substantially greater financial, marketing and manufacturing resources, greater
investment in customer experience, and greater brand name recognition than the Company does and sell products
through broader and more established distribution touchpoints, which has and may continue to negatively impact traffic to
the Companys distribution points. Consolidation in the mattress industry has and may continue to amplify this disparity.
The Companys national, exclusive distribution competes with other retailers who generally provide a wider selection of
mattress and brand alternatives at varying price points than the Company offers.
These manufacturing and retailing competitors, or a combination of these competitors, or new entrants into the market,
may compete aggressively and maintain and gain market share with existing or new products, and may pursue or expand
their presence in the adjustable firmness air bed segment of the market as well as in the market for sleep tracking and
monitoring products. The Company has limited ability to anticipate the timing and scale of new product introductions,
advertising campaigns or new pricing strategies by its competitors, which could inhibit its ability to maintain or increase
market share, or to maintain the Companys profit margins.
If the Company is unable to effectively compete with other manufacturers and retailers of mattress and sleep tracking and
monitoring products, the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition may be adversely impacted.
Failure to achieve and maintain high levels of product and service quality could negatively impact the Companys
sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
The Companys products and services are highly differentiated from traditional innerspring mattresses and from
viscoelastic and other foam mattresses, which have little or no technology and do not rely on electronics and air control
systems. As a result, the Companys beds may be susceptible to failures that do not exist with traditional or foam
| |
| 21 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
mattresses. Also, the Company has launched and is launching new products on a faster timeline than the Companys prior
product launches, which truncated timeline could result in unforeseen issues like potential technical or quality issues.
Failure to achieve and maintain acceptable quality standards could impact consumer acceptance of its products and
services or result in negative media and Internet reports or owner dissatisfaction that could negatively impact the
Companys brand image and sales levels. In addition, a decline in product or service quality could result in an increase in
return rates and a corresponding decrease in sales, or an increase in product warranty claims in excess of the Companys
warranty reserves. An unexpected increase in return rates or warranty claims could harm the Companys sales,
profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
The Company faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims or regulatory actions if the use of its products is
alleged to have resulted in personal injury or property damage. If any of the Companys products proves to be defective or
non-compliant with applicable regulations such as the federal Consumer Product Safety Commission flammability
standards, the Company may be required to recall or redesign such products. The Company has at times experienced
product liability claims and regulatory actions and may experience such actions in the future. The Company maintains
insurance against some forms of product liability claims, but such coverage may not be applicable to, or adequate for,
liabilities actually incurred. A successful claim brought against the Company outside of, or in excess of, available
insurance coverage, or any claim or product recall that results in significant adverse publicity about the Company, may
have a material adverse effect on the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
The Companys future growth and profitability depend in part on its ability to continue to improve and expand its
product line, anticipate and respond to changing consumer trends, and to successfully execute new product
introductions.
The Companys ability to compete effectively in the highly competitive sleep and wellness field and to profitably maintain
or grow its market share depend in part on its ability to continue to improve and expand the Companys product line of
adjustable firmness air beds, adjustable bases, SleepIQ technology, and related accessory products. The Company incurs
significant research and development and other expenditures in the pursuit of improvements and additions to its product
line and is re-prioritizing research and development resources in this highly constrained environment. As part of the
Companys turnaround strategy, it is repositioning the brand and reducing its core lineup from twelve mattresses to seven
mattresses, including five new mattresses, and doing so on a faster timeline than the Companys prior product launches. If
these efforts do not result in meaningful product improvements, if the Company is not able to timely anticipate and
respond to changing consumer trends and to gain widespread consumer acceptance of product improvements or new
product introductions, or there are delays or production limitations with respect to its product improvements or new
product introductions, the resulting impacts on our product mix and distribution strategy could adversely affect the
Companys sales, profitability (including margin), cash flows and financial condition. The Companys comprehensive new
product launch as part of its turnaround strategy has and may continue to result in inventory management issues including
increased obsolescence and write-offs, as well as, inventory shortages and longer fulfillment times, which would adversely
affect the Companys sales, profitability (including margin), cash flows and financial condition.
In addition, if any significant product improvements or new product introductions are not successful, delayed, or
constrained the Companys reputation and brand image may be adversely affected.
The Companys intellectual property rights may not prevent others from using its technology or trademarks in
connection with the sale of competitive products. The Company is from time to time subject to claims that its
products, processes or trademarks infringe intellectual property rights of others.
The Company owns various U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications related to certain elements of the design and
function of the Companys beds, biosignal monitoring and related products. The Company owns numerous registered and
unregistered trademarks and trademark applications, including in particular the Sleep Number, Climate360 and SleepIQ
trademarks, as well as other intellectual property rights, including trade secrets, trade dress and copyrights, which it
believes has significant value and is important to the development, function, and marketing of its products. These
intellectual property rights may not provide adequate protection against infringement or piracy, may not prevent
competitors from developing and marketing products that are similar to or competitive with Sleep Number beds, biosignal
monitoring or other products, and may be costly and time-consuming to protect and enforce. The Companys patents are
also subject to varying expiration dates. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect its intellectual
property rights and confidential information to the same extent as the laws of the U.S. If the Company is unable to protect
and enforce its intellectual property, the Company may be unable to prevent other companies from using the Companys
| |
| 22 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
technology or trademarks in connection with competitive products, which could adversely affect the Companys sales,
profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
The Company is from time to time subject to claims that its products, processes, advertising, or trademarks infringe the
intellectual property rights of others. The defense of these claims, even if ultimately successful, may result in costly
litigation, and if the Company is not successful in its defense, it could be subject to injunctions and liability for damages or
royalty obligations, and the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Risks Related to the Companys Reliance on Third Parties and Reliance on a Global Supply Chain
The Company relies upon several key suppliers and third parties that are, in some instances, the only source of
supply or services currently used by the Company for particular materials, components, products, systems,
services, or consumer financing. A disruption in the supply or substantial increase in cost of any of these
products or services has, and could continue to, harm the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows, availability
of credit, and financial condition.
Sleep Number currently obtains all the materials and components used to produce its smart beds from outside sources
including some that are located outside the U.S. In several cases, including its air chambers, integrated non-adjustable
foundations, adjustable foundations, various components for its Firmness Control and Smart Control systems, certain
electronic componentry, certain foam formulations, as well as its fabrics and zippers, the Company obtains these
materials, components and products from suppliers who serve as the only source of supply, or who supply the vast
majority of the Companys needs of the particular material, component or product. While the Company believes that some
of these materials, components and products, or suitable replacements, could be obtained from other sources in the event
of a disruption or loss of supply, it has not been able to, and in the future may not be able to, find alternative sources of
supply or alternative sources of supply on comparable terms, quantities and timelines. If the Companys relationship with
these suppliers or the suppliers services are disrupted, terminated or otherwise negatively impacted, including by
consolidations in the industry or by government actions, such as the imposition of tariffs or other trade restrictions, the
Company could have difficulty in replacing these sources since there are relatively few other suppliers presently capable
of manufacturing these components and products or that offer similar services. Constraints on the ability of certain of its
suppliers to timely meet commitments, including in an environment of increased demand for consumer products and
services and labor challenges, has, and may continue to, adversely impact the Companys ability to meet its products and
services demand, result in additional costs, or otherwise adversely impact the Companys business, operations and
financial results.
The Company also relies on limited critical suppliers for its information technology systems and services and e-commerce
as well as Synchrony Financial for the majority of its consumer financing services. If the Companys relationship with
these suppliers or the suppliers services are disrupted, terminated or otherwise negatively impacted, the Company could
have difficulty in replacing these systems, services and e-commerce in a timely and cost-effective manner, adversely
impacting the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows, availability of credit, and financial condition.
In addition, third parties on which the Company relies, for various reasons have demanded or required or may demand or
require changes to their payment terms and frequency, credit limits and exposures, or other contractual terms with the
Company. As a part of its turnaround strategy and cost savings and operational efficiencies, the Company has and will
continue to carefully manage its cash, including extending payment terms and delaying payments. If the Company is
unable to accommodate or otherwise resolve third-party demands, changes to contractual terms or perceived
deterioration of its credit worthiness, the Companys supply of goods, products and services from these third parties could
be disrupted, terminated or otherwise negatively impacted and the Company may not be able to or could have difficulty in
replacing the supply of such goods, products and services in a timely and cost-effective manner, adversely impacting the
Companys sales, profitability, cash flows, availability of credit, and financial condition.
Fluctuations in commodity prices or availability, or third-party delivery or logistics costs, have resulted, and
could continue to result, in an increase in component costs and/or delivery costs.
The Companys business is subject to significant increases or volatility in the prices or availability of certain commodities,
including but not limited to electronic componentry, fuel, oil, natural gas, rubber, cotton, plastic resin, corrugate, steel and
chemical ingredients used to produce foam, as well as third-party logistic costs. Tariffs on these commodities, increases in
prices of these commodities or logistics costs, supply shortages or other inflationary pressures have resulted, and may
| |
| 23 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
continue to result, in significant cost increases for the Companys raw materials and product components, as well as
increases in the cost of delivering its products to customers. The Company has been, and may continue to be, unable to
offset any such increased costs through value engineering and similar initiatives, or through price increases or availability,
and, as a result, the Companys profitability, cash flows and financial condition have been, and may continue to be
adversely impacted. Price increases to offset the increased costs, have, and may continue to, adversely impact the
Companys sales volumes.
The Company relies on third parties to deliver some of its products to its facilities and customers on a timely and cost-
effective basis. These third-party providers could be vulnerable to labor challenges, liquidity concerns, the impacts of
global health conditions, or other factors that may result in disruption, delays in deliveries or increased costs of deliveries.
Any significant delay in deliveries to its customers could lead to increased cancellations or returns and cause the
Company to lose sales or incur increased costs. Delays in deliveries and increases in freight charges or other costs of
deliveries has and could continue to harm the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
The Companys business is subject to risks inherent in global sourcing activities.
Sleep Numbers air chambers, certain electronic components, and some of its other components are manufactured
outside the U.S., and therefore are subject to risks associated with foreign sourcing of materials, including but not limited
to:
Existing or potential duties, tariffs or quotas on certain types of goods that may be imported into the U.S., including
recent and proposed unilateral tariffs, tariffs on certain goods from China and Mexico, tariffs on goods subject to the
United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), and recent and proposed tariffs on materials such as steel;
Foreign regulations that may impact availability or cost of supply;
Political instability, unrest, geopolitical turmoil, acts of terrorism, global conflicts, including geopolitically challenging
situations in regions such as Russia, the Middle East and China, outbreaks of pandemics or contagious diseases,
shipping delays, foreign or domestic strikes, customs inspections, changes in immigration rates, laws, and
enforcement, or other factors resulting in disruption in supply, transportation, trade, labor, or the availability of global
contractors utilized in the Companys business operations;
Foreign currency fluctuations;
Economic uncertainties, including inflation and policies that may have an inflationary effect, such as tariffs; and
Adverse weather conditions, climate change or other natural or man-made disasters.
The Company cannot predict whether the countries in which some of its components are manufactured, or may be
manufactured in the future, or where the Company contracts for labor will be subject to new or additional trade restrictions
imposed by the U.S. or other foreign governments, including the likelihood, type, or effect of any such restrictions. The
U.S. government has implemented certain trade policies, including imposing and proposing tariffs on most of our foreign
suppliers. A significant portion of the Companys imports are subject to the USMCA, so any changes increasing tariffs
under the USMCA would have negative consequences. Similarly, some of the Companys third-party suppliers have
disclosed that they may source, directly or indirectly, a portion of their supply chain requirements of 3TGs or fabrics from
China, which materials have generally been under scrutiny for potential ties to Uyghur forced labor camps. These factors
have, and could continue to, increase the costs of doing business with foreign suppliers, lead to inadequate inventory
levels or delays in shipping products to customers, or the need to find new sources for certain materials on short notice,
which could harm the Companys sales, customer satisfaction, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
The locations where Sleep Number and its suppliers and global contractors operate have experienced, and may
experience in the future, adverse regional events such as extreme weather conditions, climate change and other natural
and man-made disasters, which could have a significant adverse effect on the Company, its ability to source necessary
materials, components and products, and its ability to develop, launch, sell and deliver its products to customers. Climate
change may increase the frequency and severity of adverse weather conditions and other natural disasters. All regions of
the U.S. and warmer climates globally may be particularly impacted by extreme weather, such as hurricanes, natural
disasters, droughts, wildfires and rising sea levels. These events have disrupted, and may continue to, disrupt the
Companys operations and ability to source components and products.
| |
| 24 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
The Company has been, and could continue to be, vulnerable to shortages in supply of components necessary to
manufacture its products due to its manufacturing processes which operate with minimal levels of inventory or
due to global shortages of supply of electronic componentry or other materials, unexpected increased consumer
demand or inadequate demand forecasting, which, in turn, has and may continue to harm its ability to satisfy
consumer demand and adversely impact the Companys sales and profitability.
A significant percentage of the Companys products are assembled after it receives orders from customers utilizing
manufacturing processes with minimal levels of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods inventories. Lead times
for ordered components may vary significantly, and some components used to manufacture its products are provided on a
sole source basis. The Companys ongoing efforts to mitigate supply chain weaknesses may not be successful or may
have unfavorable effects such as increased storage costs or excess supply. Shortage of materials caused by disruptions
and unavailability of supply, an increase in the demand for some or all of its products or inability to adequately forecast
supply needs, has harmed and could continue to harm the Companys ability to satisfy customer demand, delay deliveries
of its products to customers, lead to customer cancellations and returns, delay the development and launch of new
products, and increase its costs. These risks have been and will continue to be exacerbated by developments in the
semiconductor and technology supply chain, including increased global demand for more sophisticated, highperformance
computing and artificial intelligencerelated chips, which has and will continue to strain and divert manufacturing capacity
and supplier resources from the production of lowercapacity or legacy chips that remain critical to many of the Companys
products. In addition, the Company may carry some excess inventory of certain components for various products from
time to time especially when the Company has faced component shortages or when the Company introduces new
products that use different components, and if the Company is unable to use that excess inventory fully or timely, the
Company may run the risk of obsolescence, which could result in write-downs of inventory and an adverse effect on gross
margins. As the Company executes its turnaround strategy, and has launched and is launching new products, for a
product transition that repositions the brand and reduces its core lineup from twelve mattresses to seven mattresses,
including five new mattresses, on a faster timeline than any prior product launches, it has incurred and may continue to
incur inventory obsolescence related to this significant product transition. Any such impacts or delays have and may
continue to adversely affect the Companys sales, customer satisfaction, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
Risks Related to the Companys Vertically Integrated Business Model
Disruption to the Companys facilities and operations could increase its costs of doing business or harm the
Companys ability to satisfy customer demand, develop, test and launch new products, and service its products
and customers.
As a vertically integrated business, the Company has various facilities and operations including manufacturing, assembly,
distribution, logistics, field services, home delivery, headquarter, product development, retail and customer service. Sleep
Number operates a dedicated cut and sew facility for cover production in Irmo, SC and an advanced engineering and
prototyping facility in Salt Lake City, UT. Each of these facilities are combined with an assembly distribution center (ADC).
There are three additional ADCs (Minneapolis, MN; Cincinnati, OH; and Dallas, TX). The five ADCs leverage component
inventory to pre-assemble 100% of its mattresses to order rather than stocking finished goods. The Company has field
service and home delivery operations and contractors that deliver and service its products across the country as well as a
bedding fulfillment center that ships bedding products to consumers via third-party services. The product development and
testing operations primarily occur in the Companys corporate headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Sleep Number
Labs facility in San Jose, California. Sleep Numbers customer service operations are largely remote positions with team
members located across the country and international third-party contractors, and the Company has retail stores across
the country. Disruption to any of the Companys operations, facilities, workforce, third-party contractors, or the Companys
nationwide logistics network, could harm or delay its ability to satisfy customer demand, develop, test and launch new
products, service its products and customers, and increase its costs. While the Companys metrics related to customers
experience indicate that the customer experience has improved over prior year, the Companys customer service
operations remain reliant on third-party contractors. Such impacts and delays could adversely affect the Companys sales,
customer satisfaction, profitability, cash flows, availability of credit, and financial condition.

Any future acquisitions, business combinations or divestitures the Company completes involve a number of
risks, the occurrence of which could adversely affect the Companys business, reputation, operating results and
financial condition.
The Companys ability to complete future acquisitions, business combinations or divestitures will depend, in part, on the
availability of suitable candidates at acceptable prices, terms, and conditions; the Companys ability to compete effectively
for transaction candidates; and the availability of capital and personnel to complete such transactions and run the resulting
operations effectively. The benefits of the transaction may take more time than expected to develop, integrate into or
divest from the Companys operations, and the Company cannot guarantee that future transactions will, in fact, produce
any benefits. Such transactions may involve a number of risks, the occurrence of which could adversely affect the
Companys business, reputation, operating results and financial condition, including: (i) diversion of managements
attention; (ii) disruption to the Companys existing operations and plans or the inability to effectively manage the
Companys expanded operations; (iii) reallocation of amounts of capital from other operating initiatives and/or an increase
in the Companys leverage and debt service requirements to fund any such transactions, which could in turn restrict the
Companys ability to access additional capital when needed or pursue other important elements of its business strategy;
(iv) infringement by acquired businesses of intellectual property rights of others; (v) violation of confidentiality, intellectual
property and non-compete obligations or agreements by employees of an acquired business or lack of or inadequate
formal intellectual property protection mechanisms in place at an acquired business; (vi) inaccurate assessment of
additional post-transaction investments, undisclosed, contingent, tax or other liabilities or problems, unanticipated costs
associated with an acquisition, and an inability to recover or manage such liabilities and costs; (vii) incorrect estimates
made in the accounting for transactions and incurrence of non-recurring charges, including restructuring charges in
connection with any future effort to reduce costs and streamline operations; and (viii) additional risks that may arise as a
result of the transaction with international entities, including managing international laws and regulations applicable to the
business, operations and personnel.
Risks Related to Workforce
The Companys operating performance, profitability, and future growth depend upon its ability to attract, retain
and motivate qualified and effective personnel.
As a vertically integrated manufacturer and retailer, the Companys future growth and profitability will depend upon its
ability to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel in a wide variety of areas to execute its growth strategy, including
qualified management and executive personnel, retail sales professionals and managers, and manufacturing, home
delivery and technical personnel. In addition, the Companys success will depend upon the effectiveness of its
organizational leadership and managers as well as the capabilities of its team members; some of these risks may be
heightened while the Company executes its turnaround strategy and ongoing cost savings and operational efficiencies.
Labor challenges or other economic factors may prevent the Company, and its suppliers and vendors, from successfully
hiring and retaining qualified personnel especially for critical business functions. The failure to attract, retain and motivate
qualified personnel or the lack of effective organizational leadership, management or appropriate team capabilities or
resources may hinder the Companys ability to execute its turnaround strategy, growth initiatives, business operations,
and may adversely impact the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
Certain portions of the Companys workforce, in particular its home delivery, logistics, manufacturing, warehouse, and
retail, may seek to unionize or engage in unionization activities. Such activities may cause distraction from the Companys
core business, reduce the Companys ability to manufacture, sell, or deliver its products, increase the Companys costs,
reduce efficiency, and adversely impact the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
Risks Related to Legal Compliance and Legal Proceedings
The Companys business is subject to a wide variety of government laws and regulations. These laws and
regulations, as well as any new or changed laws or regulations, could disrupt the Companys operations or
increase its compliance costs. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations could have further adverse
impacts on the Companys operations.
The Company is subject to a variety of laws and regulations. Laws and regulations at the international, federal, state and
local levels frequently change and the Company cannot always reasonably predict the impact from, or the ultimate cost of
compliance with, future regulatory or administrative changes. Changes in law, the imposition of new or additional
| |
| 26 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
regulations or the enactment of any new or more stringent legislation that impacts employment and labor, trade,
advertising claims, marketing practices, pricing, consumer credit offerings, do not call/mail requirements, text messaging
requirements, product testing and safety, health and wellness product requirements, use of artificial intelligence,
transportation and logistics, health care, tax, accounting, privacy and data security, health and safety or environmental
issues, warranty disclosures, delivery timing requirements, accessibility requirements, among others, could require the
Company to change the way it does business and could have a material adverse impact on the Companys sales,
profitability, cash flows and financial condition. New or different laws or regulations could increase direct compliance costs
for the Company or may cause its vendors to raise the prices they charge the Company because of increased compliance
costs. Further, the adoption of a multi-layered regulatory approach to any one of the state or federal laws or regulations to
which the Company is currently subject, particularly where the layers are in conflict, could require alteration of its
manufacturing processes or operational parameters which may adversely impact the Companys business.
Legislative or regulatory changes that impact the Companys relationship with its workforce, such as minimum wage
requirements or health insurance or other employee benefits mandates, could increase the Companys expenses and
adversely affect its operations. While it is Sleep Numbers policy and practice to comply with legal and regulatory
requirements and its procedures and internal controls are designed to promote such compliance, the Company cannot
assure that all of its operations will comply with all such legal and regulatory requirements. Further, laws and regulations
change over time and the Company may be required to incur significant expenses, modify its operations, or delay new
product introductions in order to ensure compliance. This could harm the Companys profitability, cash flows and financial
condition. If Sleep Number is found to be in violation of any laws or regulations, it could become subject to fines, penalties,
damages or other sanctions as well as potential adverse publicity or litigation exposure. This could adversely impact the
Companys business, reputation, sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
Risks Related to the Companys Information Systems and Cybersecurity
Information systems that contain confidential Company data, consumers personal information, and team
members personal information may be subject to attacks by hackers or other cyber threats that could
compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data, which could substantially disrupt the
Companys business and could result in a breach of the data.
The Companys information systems and information systems of third-party vendors it uses to assist in the storage and
management of information, including on-premise and cloud-based systems, contain personal, financial, and SleepIQ
data and information related to its customers and team members collected and maintained in the ordinary course of its
business. These information systems also contain confidential Company data regarding its business and innovations. The
Companys use and dependence on its information systems requires data storage in cloud-based systems. While the
Company maintains, and requires the Companys third-party vendors to maintain, security measures to protect this
information, a breach of these security measures, such as through third-party action and attacks, team member error,
access to its data and systems, malfeasance or otherwise, could compromise the security of the Companys data and
customers and team members personal information. Like many other businesses, Sleep Number has and will likely
continue to experience cyber-based attacks and incidents from time to time. As the techniques used to breach security
measures change frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a target, the Company may be unable to
anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures. In addition, the Company or its third-party
vendors may not be successful in timely identification or containment of cyber-based attacks and incidents. Any failure of
the Companys systems and processes or its third-party vendors systems and processes to adequately protect its data or
customer or team member personal information from exposure, theft or loss could adversely impact the Companys
business, reputation, sales, profitability, cash flows and financial condition.
Advancements in and adoption of, or the failure to effectively adopt, artificial intelligence and related
technologies may increase cost and risks associated with competition, regulatory requirements, and
cybersecurity threats.
Rapidly evolving technological and regulatory developments related to artificial intelligence and related technologies may
increase competitive, legal, and security risks facing the Company. To effectively compete, the Company needs identify
and evolve with emerging technological and broader industry trends, including technologies such as artificial intelligence
and related technologies as well as to develop appropriate protections, safeguards, and policies for handling the
processing of data. In addition, the regulatory and legal landscape regarding artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving and
the Company may be challenged to timely comply in a cost-effective manner. Any actual or perceived failure to effectively
| |
| 27 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
adopt artificial intelligence or related technologies, comply with evolving regulatory frameworks regarding, or if adoption
introduces bias or other issues, the development and use of artificial intelligence could adversely affect the Companys
business operations, reputation, customer satisfaction, profitability, cash flows and financial condition. In addition, new
artificial intelligence technologies may increase the risk of internal or external data loss, misappropriation of intellectual
property, and enable cyber-attackers to create increasingly effective and powerful methods of cyber-attack, including, for
example, the development of malicious code, denial-of-service attacks, use of quantum computing, sophisticated phishing
attempts, and other attacks. The Company may not be able to sufficiently identify, withstand, and contain such attacks,
which may cause disruption to business operations and harm the Companys sales, customer satisfaction, profitability,
cash flows and financial condition.
Any maintenance, improvements or upgrades to information systems and services that may be required to meet
the ongoing and evolving needs of the Companys business and cybersecurity needs as well as existing and
emerging regulatory requirements may be costly to implement, may take longer or require greater resources than
anticipated and may result in disruptions to its systems or business.
The Company depends on its information systems and services for many aspects of its business including those provided
by suppliers and third parties. Sleep Number has and may continue to have disruptions or outages to these information
systems and services that negatively impact its business and systems. If the Companys information systems and services
or if any suppliers or other third-parties information systems and services upon which the Company relies are disrupted in
any material way, or maintenance, improvements or upgrades are required to meet the ongoing or evolving needs of its
business, cybersecurity needs, and existing and emerging regulatory requirements, then the Company may be required to
incur significant capital expenditures in the pursuit of continuity, improvements or upgrades to its information systems and
services. These efforts may take longer and may require greater financial and other resources than anticipated, may
cause distraction of key personnel, and may cause short-term disruptions, fines, security vulnerabilities to, or otherwise
negatively impact the Companys existing systems and business. Any of these outcomes could impair the Companys
ability to achieve critical strategic initiatives and could adversely impact the Companys sales, profitability, cash flows and
financial condition.
Risks Related to the Companys Stock
The Companys stock price has and may continue to fluctuate and the Companys financial results, removal from
various stock indices and other factors have and may continue to adversely affect the Companys stock price.
The Companys stock price has and may continue to fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors such as: the
overall performance of the equity markets and the economy as a whole; the Companys financial and operating
performance, which may fluctuate due to the risk factors set forth herein; changes in the financial projections the
Company or third parties may provide to the public or the Companys failure to meet these projections; actual or
anticipated changes in its growth rate relative to that of its competitors; inclusion or removal from various stock indices;
significant stock trades by large shareholders; failure of securities analysts to maintain coverage of the Company;
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts who follow the Company or its failure to meet these estimates or the
expectations of investors; sales of shares of the Companys common stock by Sleep Number or its shareholders
particularly sales by its directors, executive officers and significant shareholders or the perception that these sales could
occur. Although the Companys common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the volume of trades on any given
day may be limited and, as a result, shareholders might not be able to sell or purchase its common shares at the volume,
price or time desired.
A substantial amount of the Companys stock is held by a small number of large investors and significant sales
of its common stock by one or more of these holders could adversely affect the Companys stock price.
As of January 2, 2026, the Companys 25 largest holders of common stock were investors who held approximately 79% of
the outstanding shares of common stock in the aggregate. These investors have sold and may sell some or all of their
shares at any time for a variety of reasons, and such sales could depress the market price of the Companys common
stock, which could adversely affect the Companys stock price. In addition, any such sales of the Companys common
stock by these entities could also impair its ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.
| |
| 28 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
The Companys business could be negatively affected as a result of shareholder activism.
While the Company welcomes shareholders constructive input, the Company could be negatively affected as a result of
shareholder activism, which could cause the Company to incur significant expense, disrupt the execution of its business
strategy, and impact the performance of its stock price. The Company has been, and may continue to be, the subject of
shareholder activism, and it is subject to the risks associated therewith. Responding to shareholder activism, including
proxy contests, requires significant time and attention from management and the Board, potentially interfering with the
Companys ability to execute its strategic plan. The Company may be required to incur significant legal fees and other
expenses, and the attention of management may be diverted by such activism. Any of these impacts could materially and
adversely affect the Companys business and operating results, and the Companys stock price has experienced, and may
continue to experience, fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by shareholder activism.
If securities analysts do not publish, or cease publishing, research or reports about the Company, the Companys
business, or if they change their recommendations regarding the Companys stock adversely, the price of the
Companys common stock and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for the Companys common stock could be influenced by any research and reports that securities or
industry analysts publish about the Company, the Companys business or the Companys market. If one or more of the
analysts who covers the Company downgrades the Companys common stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable
research about the Company, the Companys business or the Companys market, the price of the Companys common
stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of the Company or fails to publish reports on
the Company regularly, demand for the Companys common stock could decrease, which could cause the price of the
Companys common stock and trading volume to decline.
Risks Related to Tax Treatment
Unfavorable tax treatment may adversely affect the Companys financial condition.
The Company's effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes in the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets
or changes in tax laws. The Company has significant deferred tax assets and must generate sufficient earnings of the
appropriate character in order to utilize its deferred tax assets. If the Companys earnings remain flat or decline over an
extended period of time, it may not be able to utilize its deferred tax assets and it has and may in the future need to record
a valuation allowance against them that could adversely affect its results of operations, cash flows and financial condition
in the period in which the valuation allowance is recorded. As of January3, 2026, a valuation allowance of $55.3 million
has been recorded to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized.
Risks Related to Environmental, Social and Governance Matters
The Companys priorities and progress with respect to sustainability, or Environmental, Social and Governance
(ESG), matters, and scrutiny and evolving expectations from the public, investors, regulators, vendors, and other
stakeholders may expose the Company to numerous risks, including risks to its reputation and stock price,
additional costs, and compliance risks.
Different stakeholder groups have divergent views on ESG matters such environment, climate change, health and safety,
supply chain management, diversity, equity and inclusion, labor conditions and human rights in the Companys operations
and supply chain, which increases the risk that any action or lack thereof with respect to ESG matters may be perceived
negatively by at least some stakeholders and adversely impact the Companys reputation and business. Sleep Numbers
current ESG priorities reflect the Companys strategic plans and aspirations and are not guarantees that it will be able to
achieve them. The Companys ability to achieve any ESG-related objectives is subject to numerous risks, many of which
are outside of its control, including: the availability and cost of relevant technologies and materials and evolving regulatory
requirements affecting relevant standards or disclosures. While some stakeholders may not be satisfied with the
Companys ESG practices or initiatives or the speed with which the Company is implementing such initiatives, other
stakeholders may be opposed to the implementation of such initiatives at all, which could result in customer backlash or
other adverse effects. The ESG performance of the Companys competitors, some of which are subject to more rigorous
international ESG-related disclosure regulations, may be better perceived than the Companys, which may result in
potential or current customers, suppliers or investors electing to do business with its competitors rather than the Company,
and may detract from the Companys ability to attract or retain employees. Furthermore, the Companys efforts to
| |
| 29 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
accurately report its ESG status under evolving and competing standards has resulted and may continue to result in a lack
of consistent or meaningful comparative data from period to period and which has and could result in revisions to the
Companys ESG priorities and reported progress. The Companys failure, or perceived failure, to pursue or fulfill its ESG
priorities or to satisfy various reporting standards may present numerous operational, reputational, competitive, financial,
legal, government enforcement action and other risks, any of which could have a material adverse impact, including on
the Companys reputation, stock price, and results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
The SEC adopted climate disclosure rules, which would have required new climate-related disclosures in SEC filings,
including certain climate-related metrics and greenhouse gas emissions data, information about climate-related targets
and goals, transition plans, if any, and extensive attestation requirements. However, these climate-related disclosure rules
remain stayed pending litigation in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. The SEC has withdrawn its defense of the rules,
creating uncertainty regarding their future applicability. At the state level, California has enacted legislation that would
require the Company to make broad-based climate-related disclosures, and other states are considering similar
measures. In addition to requiring companies to quantify and disclose direct emissions data, the California rules seek
disclosure of climate impact arising from companies operations, their business partners and the end-users of their
products. The Company is refining its measurements and readiness to report under the California rules. Sleep Number
has and will continue to incur costs relating to the collection, review and assurance for required disclosures of climate-
related information and may experience increased costs, litigation, regulatory, business, reputation, or other risks.
Climate change and legal or regulatory responses may adversely affect the Companys business, operations and
financial condition.
Climate change presents various near- and long-term risks that may adversely impact the Companys business. The
enactment of certain laws and regulations to address or limit the effects of climate change, or changes to existing laws
and regulations, could mandate more restrictive standards or require such changes on a more accelerated time frame.
The consequences of climate change and the ensuing governmental regulations could disrupt the Companys operations
or harm its ability to source necessary materials and components and manufacture its products, which may adversely
affect the Companys financial condition. If public perception of Sleep Numbers compliance with laws and regulations
related to climate change is negative, it could adversely affect the Companys business, reputation and shareholder
perception. Adverse publicity or climate-related litigation that impacts the Company could also have a negative impact on
its business.
Extreme weather, natural disasters, power outages, or other unexpected climate-related events could result in physical
damage to and complete or partial closure of one or more of the Companys manufacturing, distribution centers or other
facilities or those of its suppliers, temporary or long-term disruption in its supply chain or logistics, disruption of or harm to
the Companys workforce and/or disruption of its ability to deliver products to customers. Current or future insurance
arrangements may not provide protection for costs that may arise from such events, particularly if such events are
catastrophic in nature or if multiple such events occur. Climate change may also subject the Companys business to
significant increases or volatility in the prices of certain commodities, including but not limited to electronic componentry,
fuel, oil, natural gas, rubber, cotton, plastic resin, corrugate, plywood, steel and chemical ingredients used to produce
foam, as well as third-party logistic costs. Further, the long-term effects of climate change on general economic conditions
and the Companys industry in particular are unclear, and changes in the supply, demand, or available sources of energy
and the regulatory and other costs associated with energy production and delivery may affect the availability or cost of
goods and services, including natural resources, necessary to run its business. Any long-term disruption in the Companys
ability to service its customers from one or more manufacturing, distribution centers or other facilities could have an
adverse effect on the Companys results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Sleep Number uses a defense in depth approach for its cybersecurity risk management program leveraging the National
Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) framework, which organizes cybersecurity risks into five categories: identify,
protect, detect, respond and recover. The Company regularly assesses the threat landscape for cybersecurity risks, with a
strategy based on prevention, detection and mitigation. The Companys information technology (IT) security teamled by
the Chief Product and Enterprise Strategy Officer (CPESO)reviews cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis. IT security
| |
| 30 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
team members who support the Companys information security program have relevant educational and industry
experience. The CPESO, and their team, provide regular reports to senior management, the Audit Committee, and other
relevant teams on various cybersecurity threats, assessments and findings. The IT security team has established policies,
standards, processes, and practices for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats
(including Generative AI associated risks). These threats are also identified and assessed through the Companys overall
risk management program, including quarterly assessments of IT systems, cybersecurity, and related risks. The Company
engages in an ongoing review of all cybersecurity events and threats to assess the materiality of each event, if any.
The Company maintains controls and procedures that are designed to ensure prompt escalation of certain cybersecurity
incidents so that decisions regarding public disclosure and reporting of such incidents can be made by management and
the Audit Committee in a timely manner.
The Company assesses cybersecurity risks on an ongoing basis, including assessing and deploying technical safeguards
designed to protect its information systems from cybersecurity threats. The Company has established comprehensive
incident response and recovery plans, regularly tests and evaluates the effectiveness of those plans, and maintains
cybersecurity risk insurance.
The Company implements processes to identify, prioritize, assess, mitigate and remediate risks associated with third-party
service providers. It conducts security assessments of critical third-party providers before engagement and maintains
ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance with the Companys cybersecurity standards. The monitoring includes ongoing
assessments by the IT security team. This approach is designed to mitigate risks related to data breaches or other
security incidents originating from third parties. The Company also contractually requires third parties it engages to have
security programs commensurate with their risk, while retaining certain audit rights for higher risk third parties.
The Company regularly reminds its team members and contractors of the importance of handling and protecting customer
and employee data. The Company provides all its team members with dedicated cybersecurity awareness training
annually and conducts monthly phishing simulation testing and other cybersecurity awareness campaigns (e.g., intranet
articles, cybersecurity awareness month). Further, the Company sponsors a year-long "Cybersecurity Champions
Academy" where team members from all across the Company are engaged in a cybersecurity-focused community which
more deeply embeds cybersecurity awareness through monthly meetings, topical projects, and cyber-skill sharing.
The Company engages with a range of external experts, including cybersecurity assessors, auditors, and legal counsel, in
evaluating and testing its cybersecurity risk management systems. This enables the Company to leverage specialized
knowledge, experience and insights, to help ensure its cybersecurity strategies and processes remain current.
The Company has cybersecurity operations and security engineering capabilities that provide comprehensive
monitoring to detect and respond to cyber threats and alerts and execute cyber incident response playbooks. This
includes a vulnerability management program which identifies and drives remediation of risks. The Company employs
a wide array of industry-leading security platforms and tools.
The Company has retained data security and data privacy legal counsel whose practices focus on data breach
response, information security compliance, and compliance with the data privacy laws in the various jurisdictions in
which the Company operates.
In addition, the Company engages specialized consultants and third-party managed service providers on a project-
specific basis to assist it with projects that will improve the Companys IT infrastructure, strengthen its security posture
and cyber incident investigations, and improve its cyber readiness.
Managements Role
The CPESO has primary operational responsibility for the Companys cybersecurity function. The CPESO has served in
various leadership positions for over 20 years, with 3 years specifically leading information technology. The CPESO, and
the Chief Legal and Risk Officer have primary responsibility for assessing and managing material cybersecurity risks. This
group, and their supporting teams, meets quarterly to review security performance metrics, identify security risks, and
assess the status of approved security enhancements. This group also considers and makes recommendations on
security policies and procedures, security service requirements, and risk mitigation strategies.

| 31 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
Board Oversight
At the Board level, the Audit Committee is formally tasked with assisting the full Board in overseeing information security
systems, including cybersecurity, and reporting to the Board with respect to significant and material developments or
proposed changes to the Companys cybersecurity framework. The Audit Committee receives regular reports from the
CPESO about the prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation of cybersecurity incidents, including material security
risks and information security threats and risks. The Audit Committee also receives regular updates from management on
cybersecurity risk resulting from risk assessments, progress of risk reduction initiatives, and relevant internal and industry
cybersecurity incidents and emerging threats.
The Company has not experienced any material security incidents or data breaches as a result of a compromise of its
information systems and is not aware of any cybersecurity incidents that have had a material impact, or are reasonably
likely to materially effect, its business strategy, operating results, cash flows and financial condition.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Retail Locations
Sleep Number currently leases all of its existing retail store locations and expects that its policy of leasing stores, rather
than owning stores, will continue. The Company leases its retail stores 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. The Company retail store leases generally provide for an initial lease term of five to 10 years. In
addition, the mall-based retail store leases may require payment of contingent rent based on net sales in excess of certain
thresholds. Certain retail store leases may contain options to extend the term of the original lease.

OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
The discussion in this Annual Report contains certain forward-looking statements that relate to future plans,
events, financial results or performance. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not
historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as may, will, should, could, expect,
anticipate, believe, estimate, plan, project, predict, intend, potential, continue or the negative
of these or similar terms. These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
results to differ materially from the Companys historical experience and present expectations or projections.
These risks and uncertainties include, among others:
Changes in economic conditions and consumer sentiment and related impacts on discretionary consumer spending;
Interest rates remain elevated, and may further increase and impact the cost of servicing the Companys
indebtedness;
Availability of attractive and cost-effective consumer credit options;
Ability to achieve the improvements, growth, cost savings, efficiencies and other benefits related to its turnaround
strategy to avoid adverse effects and the costs to implement its turnaround strategy;
Ability to continue as a going concern;
Access to additional capital and its access to such capital or alternative financing options may depend on factors

Business Overview
Sleep Number is the leader in personalized sleep wellness. Its mattresses are designed to evolve with each sleeper to
help them feel and perform their best. With adjustable firmness, pressure-relieving support and temperature balancing
comfort built into every mattress, Sleep Number beds adapt to customers changing needs, night after night, year after
year.
2025 was a transformational year for Sleep Number. Under the leadership of its new CEO, Linda Findley, who joined the
Company in April 2025, the business has undergone change at every level. The Company:
Created a more streamlined operation designed to enable faster decisionmaking by consolidating roles across
key functions and strengthening accountability;
Reduced operating costs across the business by $136million as compared to 2024, excluding restructuring and
other non-recurring costs;
Added financial flexibility by extending the Credit Agreement through the end of 2027; and
Executed the Twelfth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of
February 14, 2018 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among U.S. Bank
National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender, and certain other financial
institutions party thereto (the Credit Agreement) to amend financial covenants.
With a stronger foundation, in November 2025, the Company introduced its turnaround strategy Sleep Number Shifts, a
focused, company-wide effort to reposition the brand, expand reach to new customer groups, and reignite growth. The
aim is to drive value for shareholders, customers and team members with efforts rooted in the consumer through all
dimensions of the business. It is centered on three key areas:
Product: The Company is simplifying its offering with the goal of growing its customer base while building on the
demand from repeat customers
Marketing: The Company is modernizing its efforts by expanding channels and reach with new creative to better
connect with todays consumer and drive engagement with a focus on better ROI
Distribution: The Company is focused on optimizing store footprint as well as exploring opportunities to expand
distribution into new channels, both physical and digital.

Sleep Number Shifts is being implemented as the Company continues to execute cost savings and operating
efficiencies, including real estate optimization and right-sizing the fixed cost base. While the Company is focused on
implementing the Sleep Number Shifts and executing cost savings and operating efficiencies, it faces liquidity
challenges. See Risk FactorsRisks Related to Indebtedness and Liquidity.
Results of Operations
Financial Highlights for Fiscal 2025 were as follows:
Net sales for 2025 decreased 16% to $1.4 billion, compared with $1.7 billion in 2024. Demand was impacted by
ongoing industry demand pressure and lower store traffic. In addition, 2025 included 53 weeks compared with 52
weeks in the prior year, with the extra week benefiting 2025 net sales by approximately $25 million. For additional
details, see the components of total net sales growth on page [39](#id85bc2f5d2ad4583a9197c95587784c2_145).
The net sales change resulted from a 17% comparable sales decrease in Total Retail. For additional details, see the
components of total net sales change on page [39](#id21e3066f2ef4529a2a19d88ad18cb3e_338).
Average sales per store (sales for stores open at least one year, Total Retail, including online, phone and chat,
adjusted for the additional 53rd week) for the year ended January3, 2026 totaled $1.9 million, compared with
$2.6million for the same period last year.
Gross profit margin of 59.0% was 0.6 percentage points (ppt.) lower than the prior-year. For additional details, see the
gross profit discussion on page [40](#i6c8a726405314638b5d3f4c910f718a7_5379).
The $100 million year-over-year reduction in the Companys operating expenses was due to sales and marketing
expenses decrease of $102 million, general and administrative expenses decrease of $19 million, and research and
development expenses decrease of $11 million, partly offset by an increase in restructuring costs of $33 million when
compared to 2024.
Operating loss for 2025 was $47 million compared to operating income of $23 million for 2024. The $69 million
decrease in operating income in the current year was driven by the lower gross profit, partially offset by the
Companys $100 million reduction in total operating expenses. The Companys 2025 operating loss rate was impacted
by the deleveraging impact of the 16% decrease in net sales.
Adjusted EBITDA for 2025 was $78 million, compared to $120 million in 2024 due to year-over-year net sales decline
offset by ongoing cost reduction actions. For additional details, see Non-GAAP Data Reconciliations section on page
[44](#id85bc2f5d2ad4583a9197c95587784c2_160).
Income tax expense in 2025 was $36.0 million, compared to income tax benefit of $5.2 million in 2024. In 2025, the
Company recorded a $55 million valuation allowance on its deferred income taxes resulting primarily from its inability
to utilize certain net operating losses and state R&D tax credits. This was partially offset by a decrease in income tax
expense of $14 million when compared to 2024 due to higher net loss in 2025.
Net loss in 2025 was $132 million, compared with $20 million in 2024. Net loss per diluted share increased to $5.77,
compared with $0.90 in 2024.
The Companys adjusted return on invested capital (Adjusted ROIC) was negative 4.0% in 2025, compared with 7.6%
in 2024. For additional details, see Non-GAAP Data Reconciliations section on page [44](#id85bc2f5d2ad4583a9197c95587784c2_160).
The Company used $3 million in cash from operating activities in 2025, compared with generated cash of $27million
in 2024.
Free cash flow used $18 million for the year ended January3, 2026, compared with free cash flow provided of
$4million for the same period last year.
The Company ended 2025 with $588 million of borrowings under its revolving credit facility, compared with
$547million at the end of 2024.

Comparison of 2025 and 2024
Net sales
Net sales in 2025 decreased 16% to $1.4 billion, compared with $1.7 billion in 2024. The decrease was driven by ongoing
industry demand pressure and lower store traffic. The net sales change consisted primarily of a 17% Total Retail
comparable sales decrease. In addition, 2025 included 53 weeks compared with 52 weeks in the prior year, with the extra
week benefiting 2025 net sales by approximately $25 million. For additional details, see the components of total net sales
change on page [39](#id85bc2f5d2ad4583a9197c95587784c2_145).
The $271 million net sales decrease compared with the same period one year ago was primarily comprised of: (i) a
$240million decrease in the Companys Total Retail comparable net sales; (ii) a $34 million decrease from phone, online
and chat; (iii) a $22 million decrease resulting from net opened/closed stores in the past 12 months; partially offset by (iv)
$25 million from the additional 53rd week. Total Retail smart bed unit sales decreased 12% compared with the prior year.
Average revenue per smart bed unit in Total Retail increased to $6,060, compared with $5,818 in the prior-year period.
Gross profit
Gross profit for 2025 of $833.0 million decreased by $170million, or 17%, compared with $1.0 billion in 2024. The 2025
gross profit rate decreased to 59.0% of net sales, compared with 59.6% for the prior-year period. The 0.6 ppt. decrease in
the gross profit rate was mainly due to: (i) higher manufacturing costs driven primarily by increased obsolescence, tariffs,
and the impacts of lower volume decreased the rate by 1.2 ppt; partially offset by (ii) a favorable product sales mix which
increased the rate by 0.3 ppt, (iii) logistics savings and return rate favorability led to a 0.2 ppt. increase, and (iv) pricing
increases during the current year benefited the rate by 0.1 ppt.
Sales and marketing expenses
Sales and marketing expenses decreased $102 million to $664 million in 2025, compared with $767million in 2024. The
sales and marketing expense rate increased to 47.1% of net sales, compared with 45.6% for the same period one year
ago. The current-year sales and marketing expense rate increase of 1.5 ppt. was primarily due to the deleveraging impact
of an 16% net sales decrease offset by a 13% decrease in expenses including a 9% lower media spend.
| |
| 41 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative (G&A) expenses decreased $19 million to $131 million in 2025, compared with $150million in
2024, and increased to 9.3% of net sales, compared with 8.9% of net sales one year ago. The $19million decrease in
G&A expenses mainly consisted of the following: (i) a $8 million year-over-year decrease in company-wide, performance-
based incentive compensation; (ii) a $5 million decrease in depreciation and amortization; (iii) a $4 million decrease in
employee compensation; and (iv) a $2 million decrease in other occupancy and miscellaneous expenses. The G&A
expenses rate increased by 0.4 ppt. in 2025, compared with 2024 due to the items discussed above in addition to the
deleveraging impact of the 16% net sales decrease.
Research and development expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses decreased $11 million to $34 million in 2025, compared with $45million in
2024. While the Companys consumer innovation pipeline remains robust, it is re-prioritizing R&D resources in this highly
constrained environment. Moving forward, the Companys innovation agenda will focus on maintaining and improving the
Companys core technologies and introducing additional advancements, while driving costs out of the product.
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs increased $33 million to $51 million in 2025, compared with $18 million in 2024. Charges incurred
related to this initiative were primarily comprised of contract termination costs, severance and employee-related benefits,
professional fees and asset impairment charges. These costs are included in the restructuring costs line in the Companys
consolidated statement of operations. The Company expects approximately $13 million of additional restructuring costs to
be incurred during 2026, primarily due to severance and employee-related benefits, contract termination costs, and asset
impairment charges. See Note 11, Restructuring Costs, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information on
restructuring costs.
Interest expense, net
Interest expense, net increased $1 million to $49 million in 2025, compared with $48 million in 2024. The increase in the
average debt outstanding during 2025 compared to the prior year was partially offset by a lower weighted-average interest
rate.
Income tax expense (benefit)
Income tax expense was $36 million in 2025, compared with an income tax benefit of $5million in 2024. In 2025, the
Company recorded a $55 million valuation allowance on its deferred income taxes resulting primarily from its inability to
utilize certain net operating losses and state R&D tax credits. This was partially offset by a decrease in income tax
expense of $14 million when compared to 2024 due to higher net loss in 2025. The effective income tax rate for the year
ended January3, 2026 was (37.5)% compared with 20.2% for the year ended December28, 2024.
The Company evaluates its deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required. As part of
this evaluation, the Company assess whether valuation allowances should be established for any deferred tax assets that
are not considered more likely than not to be realized, using all available evidence, both positive and negative. This
assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency, and severity of historical losses, forecasts of future
profitability, taxable income in available carryback periods and tax planning strategies. In making such judgments,
significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. In 2025, the Company recorded a change in
valuation allowance of $55 million on the basis of managements reassessment of the amount of its deferred tax assets
that are more likely than not to not be realized. This decreased the effective tax rate for the year ended January 3, 2026.
The Company continues to assess the need for the valuation allowance and will make adjustments when appropriate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Going Concern Considerations
In accordance with ASC Topic 205-40, Going Concern, the Companys management evaluates whether there are certain
conditions and events, considered in aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a
going concern. This evaluation includes considerations related to the Companys forecasted liquidity and cash
consumption requirements for one year from the date of issuance of its consolidated financial statements included in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Historically, the Company has relied principally on liquidity generated from operating activities to fund the Companys day-
to-day operations and service its debt. Over the past three years, the Company has a history of net losses and expects to
continue to incur additional net losses in the near future. Although the Company continues to pursue its turnaround
strategy Sleep Number Shifts, the timing, costs and realization of its turnaround strategy cannot be guaranteed to ensure
sufficient cash flow is generated to provide adequate liquidity to meet the Companys obligations. As a result, the
Company anticipates that it will not remain in compliance with the financial covenants of its Credit Agreement for the next
twelve months. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going
concern.
Managements plan to address the substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, as
described above, includes the following actions:
execute the Companys turnaround strategy centered on product, marketing and distribution with ongoing cost
savings and operating efficiencies to reignite growth and increase financial resilience;
engage in negotiations with the lenders in its Credit Agreement with the goal of amending or waiving financial
covenants and certain other provisions of its credit facility; and
engaged financial advisors to assist in negotiating with the lenders and identifying and securing additional capital
options, alternative financing arrangements, strategic alternatives, or other comprehensive solutions to address
the Companys capital structure and leverage needs to return to growth and create long-term value.
There can be no assurance of the Companys ability to realize these plans. As a result, the Company has concluded that
managements plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for at
least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Sources and Uses of Cash
Managing the Companys liquidity and capital resources is an important part of its commitment to deliver superior
shareholder value over time.
The Companys primary sources of liquidity are cash flows provided by operating activities and cash available under its
$655million revolving credit facility. As of January3, 2026, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet financing
other than its $9 million in outstanding letters of credit. As discussed above in Going Concern Considerations, the cash
anticipated to be generated from ongoing operations and cash available under its Credit Agreement are not expected to
be sufficient to generate adequate liquidity to meet the Companys obligations over the next twelve months. See Notes 7,
Leases, and Note 14, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further details on the
Companys obligations.
The Companys credit facility, as amended, is for general corporate purposes and to meet seasonal working capital
requirements. The credit facility, as amended, provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of
the Companys assets and those of its subsidiaries and requires the Company to comply with, among other things, a
maximum net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
On November 4, 2025, the Company amended the Credit Agreement. The amendment, among other things: (a) extends
the maturity date of the Credit Agreement to December 3, 2027; (b) reduces the revolving credit facility from $485million
to $475million, which decreases further to $465million on July 31, 2026; (c) replaces the leverage-based pricing grids
used to determine the Applicable Margin and Applicable Commitment Fee Rate (each as defined in the Credit Agreement)
| |
| 43 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
in favor of (I) with respect to Applicable Margin for Term SOFR Loans, (x) 4.0% until December 31, 2026 and (y) 4.25%
starting January 1, 2027 and continuing thereafter, and (II) with respect to the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate, (x)
0.50% until December 31, 2026 and (y) 0.75% starting January 1, 2027 and continuing thereafter; (d) on each Regularly
Scheduled Payment Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurring on and after March 31, 2027, increases the
amortization of outstanding term loans an additional $1,250,000 (for an aggregate scheduled principal payment of
$3,750,000); (e) terminates the accordion feature; (f) adjusts the permissible maximum Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in
the Credit Agreement) to (I) 5.25 to 1.00 for the quarterly reporting period ended September 27, 2025, (II) 4.50 to 1.00 for
the quarterly reporting period ending January 3, 2026, (III) 4.75 to 1.00 for the quarterly reporting period ending April 4,
2026, (IV) 4.80 to 1.00 for the quarterly reporting period ending July 4, 2026, and (V) 4.00 to 1.00 for each quarterly
reporting period thereafter; (g) adjusts the Liquidity financial covenant so that the Company must ensure that liquidity is no
lower than $30million until September 30, 2026, and $40million for each monthly reporting period thereafter; (h) adjusts
the permissible minimum Interest Coverage Ratio to (I) 1.50 to 1.00 for the quarterly reporting period ended September
27, 2025, (II) 2.10 to 1.00 for the quarterly reporting periods ending January 3, 2026 and April 4, 2026, (III) 1.80 to 1.00 for
the quarterly reporting period ending July 4, 2026, (IV) 2.10 to 1.00 for the reporting period ending October 3, 2026, and
(V) 2.20 to 1.00 for each quarterly reporting period occurring thereafter; (i) adds a new quarterly minimum EBITDA
covenant test that begins for the quarterly reporting period ending April 4, 2026; (j) adjusts the consolidated EBITDA
calculation to include an addback for certain expenses and costs incurred for the trailing twelve months for discontinued
operations, downsized functions and employment expenses for laid-off employees; and (k) provides for additional and
more frequent reporting requirements. Following such amendment, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
In connection with the amendment, the Company also agreed to pay the lenders certain amendment fees and to
reimburse the lenders for certain expenses.
The Companys management believes that its existing cash on hand combined with its anticipated future net losses may
be insufficient to fund its operations and debt obligations for at least the next 12 months. The Companys management
has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, which is not
alleviated, for one year from the date of issuance of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Companys future capital
requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to, amending or waiving financial covenants of the
Credit Agreement, the successful execution of any future financing arrangements, its ability to achieve cost efficiencies
and the success of its turnaround strategy. To the extent that the Companys existing cash balance and ongoing cash from
operations is insufficient to fund its future activities, the Company may need to raise additional funds through public or
private equity or debt financing, and such funds may not be available on acceptable terms. If sufficient cash from
operations or external funding is not available, the Company may be unable to adequately fund its business plan and the
Companys business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
As of January3, 2026, the Company had an aggregate amount of $588 million of borrowings outstanding under its credit
facility, including $185 million in outstanding term loans and $403 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility,
along with $9million in outstanding letters of credit. Availability under the revolving credit facility amounted to $58 million.
At January3, 2026, the companys leverage ratio as defined in the Credit Agreement was 4.1x versus the permissible net
leverage ratio of 4.5x, the weighted-average interest rate on borrowings under the credit facility was 7.8% and the
Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.
Cash Flow Information

GAAP - generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). In connection with the preparation of its financial statements, the Company is required to make
estimates and assumptions about future events and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,
sales, expenses and the related disclosures. Predicting future events is inherently an imprecise activity and as such
requires the use of judgment. The Company bases its assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience,
current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time its consolidated financial statements
are prepared. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to
ensure that its financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events
and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from the Companys assumptions and
estimates, and such differences could be material.
| |
| 47 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
The Companys significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which are included in Item 8, Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management believes the accounting policies discussed below
are the most critical because they require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from
the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management has reviewed these
critical accounting policies and estimates, and related disclosures with the Audit Committee of its Board.
The Companys critical accounting policies and estimates relate to stock-based compensation, warranty liabilities and
revenue recognition.
| |
| Description | Judgments and Uncertainties | Effect if Actual ResultsDiffer from Assumptions | |
| Stock-Based Compensation | | | |
| The Company has stock-based compensation plans, which include non-qualified stock options and stock awards.See Note 1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 8, Shareholders Deficit, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a complete discussion of its stock-based compensation programs. | Option-pricing models and generally accepted valuation techniques require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to determine the fair value of the awards. These assumptions and judgments include estimating the volatility of its stock price, future employee forfeiture rates and future employee stock option exercise behaviors. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates or future earnings adjustments.Performance-based stock awards require management to make assumptions regarding the likelihood of achieving performance targets. | The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions it uses to determine stock-based compensation expense. However, if actual results are not consistent with its estimates or assumptions, the Company may be exposed to changes in stock-based compensation expense that could be material.In addition, if actual results are not consistent with the assumptions used, the stock-based compensation expense reported in its financial statements may not be representative of the actual economic cost of the stock-based compensation. Finally, if the actual forfeiture rates, or the actual achievement of performance targets, are not consistent with the assumptions used, the Company could experience future earnings adjustments.A 10% change in its stock-based compensation expense for the year ended January3, 2026, would have affected net loss by approximately $0.5million in 2025. | |

| Warranty Liabilities | | |
| The Company provides a limited warranty on most of the products it sells.See Note 1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a complete discussion of its warranty program and liabilities. | The majority of its warranty claims are incurred within the first year. However, the Companys warranty liability contains uncertainties because its warranty obligations cover an extended period of time. A revision of estimated claim rates or the projected cost of materials and freight associated with sending replacement parts to customers could have a material adverse effect on future results of operations. | The Company has not made any material changes in its warranty liability assessment methodology during the past three fiscal years. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions it uses to calculate its warranty liability. However, if actual results are not consistent with its estimates or assumptions, the Company may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.A 10% change in its warranty liability at January3, 2026, would have affected net loss by approximately $0.5million in 2025. | |
| Revenue Recognition | |
| Certain accounting estimates relating to revenue recognition contain uncertainty because they require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment regarding the effects of future events.See Note 1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 9, Revenue Recognition, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a complete discussion of its revenue recognition policies. | The Companys estimates of sales returns contain uncertainties as actual sales return rates may vary from expected rates, resulting in adjustments to net sales in future periods. These adjustments could have an adverse effect on future results of operations. | The Company has not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to establish its sales returns allowance during the past three fiscal years. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions it uses to calculate its sales returns allowance. However, if actual results are not consistent with its estimates or assumptions, the Company may be exposed to additional losses or gains in future periods.A 10% change in its sales returns allowance at January3, 2026 would have affected net loss by approximately $1.0million in 2025. | |
| Valuation Allowance for Deferred Tax Assets | |
| The Company records a reduction to the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets by recording a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized.See Note 1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 12, Income Taxes, to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included in Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data, of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a complete discussion of its income taxes policies. | The Company considers both positive and negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it may be objectively verified. Current and cumulative financial reporting results are a source of objectively verifiable information. We give operating results during the most recent three-year period a significant weight in our analysis. We perform scheduling exercises to determine if sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character exists in the periods required in order to realize our deferred tax assets with limited lives prior to their expiration. | On the basis of the Companys evaluation, as of January 3, 2026, a valuation allowance of $55.3 million has been recorded to recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if additional objectively verifiable positive evidence materializes in future reporting periods, such as a demonstrated operating profitability. | |

See Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note
1, Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements for recent accounting pronouncements that may affect the Companys financial reporting.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is exposed to changes in market-based short-term interest rates that will impact its net interest expense. If
overall interest rates were one percentage point higher than current rates, its annual loss would increase by $5 million
based on the $588 million of borrowings under its credit facility at January3, 2026. The Company does not manage its
interest-rate volatility risk through the use of derivative instruments.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Sleep Number Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sleep Number Corporation and subsidiaries (the
"Company") as of January3, 2026 and December28, 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders deficit, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended January3, 2026, and the related
notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion,
the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January3, 2026
and December28, 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended January3, 2026, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of January3, 2026, based on criteria
established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of
the Treadway Commission and our report dated March12, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's
internal control over financial reporting.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going
concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is projecting noncompliance with future debt
covenants, and lack of liquidity that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the
PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities
laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements
that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or
disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex
judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements,
taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the
critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Warranty Liability - Refer to Note 1 - Warranty Liabilities
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company provides a limited warranty on most products sold. The estimated warranty liabilities, which are expensed
at the time of sale and included in cost of sales, are based on historical trends and warranty claim rates incurred and the
assumptions are adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. As of January 3, 2026, the Company has warranty
liabilities of $5.7 million.
We identified the warranty liability as a critical audit matter because of the significant judgments made by management to
estimate warranty claim rates. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when
performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of managements estimates of future warranty claims based
on historical claims paid, from which management uses to develop warranty liability estimates.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our procedures related to the warranty liabilities included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of relevant controls related to warranty liabilities, including those over historical
warranty claim data and estimated future warranty claim rates.
We evaluated the reasonableness of managements estimate of warranty liabilities by comparing the historical
warranty claim trends to the current warranty claim rates of the Sleep Number beds and other products.
We evaluated the completeness of the warranty liabilities through inquiries of operational and executive
management regarding knowledge of known product warranty claims or product issues and evaluated whether
they were appropriately considered in the determination of the warranty liabilities.
We evaluated the methods and assumptions used by management to estimate the warranty liabilities by:
Testing the underlying data that served as the basis for the estimate, to test that the inputs to the estimate
were reasonable and to test the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.
Developing an expectation of warranty liabilities and comparing it to the recorded balance.
Comparing managements prior-year assumption of expected claim rates to actuals incurred during the
year to evaluate managements ability to estimate the warranty liabilities.
Valuation Allowance Refer to Note 1 Income Taxes & Note 12 Income Taxes
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company recognizes deferred income taxes for tax attributes and for differences between the financial statement and
tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the years in which the deferred tax liability or
asset is expected to be settled or realized. A valuation allowance is provided to offset deferred tax assets if, based upon
the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Future
realization of deferred tax assets depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character.
Sources of taxable income include future reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, expected future taxable income,
taxable income in prior carryback years if permitted under the tax law, and tax planning strategies. Management has
determined that it will not have sufficient taxable income generated in the future to realize its deferred tax assets;
therefore, a valuation allowance has been recorded. The Companys valuation allowance as of January 3, 2026, was
$55.3 million.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to the determination that it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will be
generated in the future to realize deferred tax assets included the following, among others:
We tested the effectiveness of relevant controls over deferred tax assets, including managements controls over
the estimates of taxable income and the determination of whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax
assets will be realized.
We evaluated the reasonableness of the methods, assumptions, and judgments used by management to
determine whether a valuation allowance was necessary.
With the assistance of our income tax specialists, we evaluated whether the sources of managements estimated
taxable income were of the appropriate character and sufficient to utilize the deferred tax assets under the
relevant tax law.
We evaluated whether the taxable income in prior carryback years was of the appropriate character and available
under the tax law.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Sleep Number Corporation
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Sleep Number Corporation and subsidiaries (the
Company) as of January3, 2026, based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013)
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, the
Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January3, 2026,
based on criteria established in Internal Control Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended
January3, 2026, of the Company and our report dated March12, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on those
financial statements and financial statement schedule.
Basis for Opinion
The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal
control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the
applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial
reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A companys internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of
management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business & Basis of Presentation
Sleep Number Corporation and its 100%-owned subsidiaries (Sleep Number or the Company) have a vertically integrated
business model and are the exclusive designer, manufacturer, marketer, retailer and servicer of Sleep Number beds which
allows it to offer consumers high-quality, individualized sleep solutions and services. Sleep Number also offers FlextFit
adjustable bases, and Sleep Number pillows, sheets and other bedding products.
Sleep Number generates revenue by marketing its innovations directly to new and existing customers, and selling
products through its Stores, Online, Phone, Chat (Total Retail) and Other.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Sleep Number Corporation and its 100%-owned
subsidiaries. All intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year
The Companys fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal years and their respective fiscal year
ends were as follows: fiscal 2025 ended January3, 2026; fiscal 2024 ended December28, 2024; and fiscal 2023 ended
December30, 2023. Fiscal 2025 had 53 weeks, 2024 and 2023 each had 52 weeks.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
(GAAP) requires the 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 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. Changes in these
estimates will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods and could be material.
The Companys critical accounting policies consist of stock-based compensation, warranty liabilities, revenue recognition
and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The carrying
value of these investments approximates fair value due to their short-term maturity.The Companys banking
arrangements allow it to fund outstanding checks when presented to the financial institution for payment, resulting in book
overdrafts. Book overdrafts are included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheet and in net increase
(decrease) in short-term borrowings in the financing activities section of the Companys consolidated statement of cash
flows. Book overdrafts totaled $8 million and $22million at January3, 2026 and December28, 2024, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for expected credit losses and consist primarily of receivables from
third-party financiers for customer credit purchases. The allowance is recognized in an amount equal to anticipated future
write-offs. The Company estimates future write-offs based on delinquencies, aging trends, industry risk trends, its
historical experience and current trends. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company
believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (continued)
Inventories
Inventories include materials, labor and overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is
determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company reviews inventory quantities on hand and records reserves for
obsolescence based on historical selling prices, current market conditions and forecasted product demand, to reduce
inventory to net realizable value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, carried at cost, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired is removed from the accounts with any
resulting gain or loss included in net loss in the consolidated statement of operations. Maintenance and repairs are
charged to expense as incurred. Major renewals and betterments that extend useful life are capitalized.
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the contractual
term of the lease, with consideration of lease renewal options if renewal appears probable.
Estimated useful lives of the Companys property and equipment by major asset category are as follows:
| |
| Leasehold improvements | 5 to 15 years | |
| Furniture and equipment | 3 to 15 years | |
| Production machinery | 3 to 7 years | |
| Computer equipment and software | 3 to 12 years | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net
Goodwill is the difference between the purchase price of a company and the fair market value of the acquired companys
net identifiable assets. The Companys intangible assets include developed technologies and trade names/trademarks.
Definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives, ranging from
8-10 years.
Asset Impairment Charges
Long-lived Assets and Definite-lived Intangible Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an individual asset or asset group may not be recoverable.
When evaluating long-lived assets for potential impairment, the Company first compares the carrying value of the asset to
the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges plus proceeds expected from disposition, if
any). If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, the Company calculates an
impairment loss. The impairment loss calculation compares the carrying value of the asset to the assets estimated fair
value. When the Company recognizes an impairment loss, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to estimated fair
value based on discounted cash flows, quoted market prices or other valuation techniques. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at the lower of the carrying amount of the asset or fair value less costs to sell. The Company reviews retail stores
by asset group, defined by designated market areas, for potential impairment based on historical cash flows, lease
termination provisions and expected future operating results. If the Company recognizes an impairment loss for a
depreciable long-lived asset or asset group, the adjusted carrying amount becomes its new cost basis and will be
depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually, or when there are
indicators of impairment, using a fair value approach. The goodwill impairment test involves a comparison of the fair value
of a reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value is determined using a market-based approach utilizing widely
accepted valuation techniques, including quoted market prices and the Companys market capitalization. The Company
| |
| 60 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (continued)
has only one reporting unit, which has a negative carrying value. The reporting unit had a goodwill balance of $64million
at January3, 2026 and December28, 2024. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment by comparing
the carrying value of an asset with its fair value. If the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment loss is recognized
in an amount equal to the excess. Based on the Companys 2025 assessments, it determined there was no impairment.
Other Investments
The Company made a payment of $3million during the second quarter of 2025 to secure contractual rights from a
strategic product-development partner. This payment was included in prepaid expenses in the Companys consolidated
balance sheet and as an investing activity in the Companys consolidated statement of cash flows. In the third quarter of
2025, the Company made the decision to end business operations with the strategic-development partner. In connection
with this decision, the Company evaluated the recoverability of assets associated with those operations and determined
that the carrying amounts of those assets were unlikely to be recoverable and recorded an impairment charge of
$16million, which is included in restructuring costs in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended
January3, 2026.
Warranty Liabilities
The Company provides a standard limited warranty on most of the products it sells. The estimated warranty costs, which
are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of sales, are based on historical trends and warranty claim rates
incurred by the Company and are adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. The majority of the Companys warranty
claims are incurred within the first year. The Companys warranty liability contains uncertainties because its warranty
obligations cover an extended period of time and require management to make estimates for claim rates and the projected
cost of materials and freight associated with sending replacement parts to customers. The Company regularly assesses
and adjusts the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs.
The warranty liabilities are included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance
sheet.
The Company classifies as non-current those estimated warranty costs expected to be paid out in greater than one year.
The activity in the accrued warranty liabilities account was as follows (in thousands):
| |
| | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Balance at beginning of period | $6,947 | $8,503 | $8,997 | |
| Additions charged to costs and expenses for current-year sales | 10,171 | 13,821 | 15,939 | |
| Deductions from reserves | (10,834) | (14,657) | (16,438) | |
| Change in liabilities for pre-existing warranties during the current year, including expirations | (628) | (720) | 5 | |
| Balance at end of period | $5,656 | $6,947 | $8,503 | |
The Company also offers the option for customers to purchase an extended warranty contract through an unrelated third
party. The extended warranty extends parts and labor coverage on their purchase. Extended warranty revenue and
premium remitted to the underwriter are recognized at the time of delivery because the third party is the primary obligor
under these contracts.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used:
Level 1 observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its
own assumptions.
| |
| 61 | 2025 FORM 10-K | SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION | |
SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (continued)
The Company generally estimates fair value of long-lived assets, including its retail stores, using the income approach,
which the Company based on estimated future cash flows (discounted and with interest charges). The inputs used to
determine fair value relate primarily to future assumptions regarding sales volumes, gross profit rates, retail store
operating expenses and applicable probability weightings regarding future alternative uses. These inputs are categorized
as Level 3 inputs under the fair value measurements guidance. The inputs used represent managements assumptions
about what information market participants would use in pricing the assets and are based upon the best information
available at the balance sheet date.
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
In 2025, the Company initiated cost savings and operational efficiencies to reduce operating expenses and accelerate
gross margin initiatives. As a result the Company recorded $50.7million of restructuring costs in 2025. Refer to Note 11,
Restructuring Costs for additional information. In the $50.7million, we recorded $30.9million of long-lived asset
impairment charges primarily related to lease right-of-use assets, property and equipment and strategic partner long-lived
assets. The restructuring costs are included on the Companys consolidated statements of operation. All non-recurring fair
value remeasurements discussed above were based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The remaining carrying
value of net long-lived assets subject to impairment approximates fair value and was immaterial as of January 3, 2026.
Shareholders Deficit
Dividends
Under the Companys Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2018 (as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time), among U.S. Bank National Association, as
Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Issuing Lender, and certain other financial institutions party thereto (the
Credit Agreement), the Company is restricted from paying cash dividends, subject to narrow exceptions. However, Sleep
Number has not historically paid, and has no current plans to pay, cash dividends on the Companys common stock.
Share Repurchases
At January3, 2026, there was $348 million remaining authorization under the $600 million board-approved share
repurchase program. There is no expiration date governing the period over which the Company can repurchase shares.
Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an unissued status. The cost of stock repurchases is
first charged to additional paid-in-capital. Once additional paid-in capital is reduced to zero, any additional amounts are
charged to accumulated deficit.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to its customers in an
amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue
recognized excludes sales taxes. Amounts billed to customers for delivery and setup are included in net sales. For most
products, the Company receives payment before or promptly after the products or services are delivered to the customer.
The Company accepts sales returns of most products during a 100-night trial period. Accrued sales returns represent a
refund liability for the amount of consideration that the Company does not expect to be entitled to because it will be
refunded to customers. The refund liability estimate is based on historical return rates and is adjusted for any current
trends as appropriate. Each reporting period, the Company remeasures the liability to reflect changes in the estimate, with
a corresponding adjustment to net sales.
Sleep Number beds sold with SleepIQ technology contain multiple performance obligations including the bed, and
SleepIQ hardware and software. The Company analyzes its multiple performance obligations to determine whether they
are distinct and can be separated or whether they must be accounted for as a single performance obligation. The
Company determined that beds sold with the SleepIQ technology have two performance obligations consisting of: (i) the
bed; and (ii) SleepIQ hardware and software. SleepIQ hardware and software are not separable as the hardware and
related software are not sold separately and the software is integral to the hardwares functionality. Prior to the fourth
| |

SLEEP NUMBER CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (continued)
quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company determined the transaction price for multiple performance obligations based on their
relative standalone selling prices. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company determined the transaction price for
multiple performance obligations based on a cost plus margin approach. The Company determined the cost plus margin
approach was the most reasonable approach based on the significance of the SleepIQ technology. The Company
determined an observable price is not available for SleepIQ. The Company estimated the standalone selling price by (1)
identifying the expected costs of providing the good or service and (2) adding an appropriate margin that reflects market
assumptions for similar offerings. The performance obligation related to the bed is satisfied at a point in time. The
performance obligation related to SleepIQ technology is satisfied over time based on the ongoing access and usage by
the customer of software essential to the functionality of SleepIQ technology. The deferred revenue and costs related to
SleepIQ technology are recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated period of benefit to the customer of
4.5years because its inputs are generally expended evenly throughout the performance period.
See Note 9, Revenue Recognition, for additional information on revenue recognition and sales returns.
Cost of Sales, Sales and Marketing, General and Administrative (G&A) and Research & Development (R&D) Expenses
The following tables summarize the primary costs classified in each major expense category (the classification of which
may vary within the Companys industry):

LeasesThe Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. 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. The Company elected the option to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases. Most of the Companys leases do not provide an implicit interest rate nor is the rate available to it from its lessors. As an alternative, the Company uses its 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. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as an ROU asset or operating lease liability. The Company recognizes operating lease costs for these short-term leases, primarily small
| |

AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (continued)
equipment leases, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At January3, 2026, the Companys finance lease ROU
assets and associated lease liabilities were not significant.
See Note 7, Leases, for further information regarding the Companys operating leases and Note 11, Restructuring Costs,
for further information regarding the Companys cost savings for right-of-use assets.
Pre-opening Costs
Costs associated with the start-up and promotion of new retail store openings are expensed as incurred.
Advertising Costs
The Company incurs advertising costs associated with print, digital and broadcast advertisements. Advertising costs are
charged to expense when the ad first runs. Advertising expense was $197 million, $248million and $272million in 2025,
2024 and 2023, respectively and is included in sales and marketing expenses on the consolidated statement of
operations. Advertising costs deferred and included in prepaid expenses in the consolidated balance sheet were not
significant at January3, 2026 or December28, 2024, respectively.
Insurance
The Company is self-insured for certain losses related to health and workers compensation claims, although the
Company obtains third-party insurance coverage to limit exposure to these claims. The Company estimates its self-
insured liabilities using a number of factors including historical claims experience and analysis of incurred but not reported
claims. The Companys self-insurance liability was $10million and $11million at January3, 2026 and December28, 2024,
respectively. At January3, 2026 and December28, 2024, $5million and $7million, respectively, were included in current
liabilities: compensation and benefits in the consolidated balance sheet and $5million and $4million, respectively, were
included in other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
Software Capitalization
For software developed or obtained for internal use, the Company capitalizes direct external costs associated with
developing or obtaining internal-use software. In addition, the Company capitalizes certain payroll and payroll-related
costs for employees who are directly involved with the development of such applications. Capitalized costs related to
internal-use software under development are treated as construction-in-progress until the program, feature or functionality
is ready for its intended use, at which time depreciation commences. The Company expenses any data conversion or
training costs as incurred. Capitalized software costs are included in property and equipment, net in the consolidated
balance sheet.
The Company capitalizes costs incurred with the implementation of a cloud computing arrangement that is a service
contract, consistent with its policy for software developed or obtained for internal use. The capitalized implementation
costs of cloud computing arrangements are expensed over the term of the cloud computing arrangement in the same line
item in the statement of operations as the associated hosting fees. Capitalized costs incurred with the implementation of a
cloud computing arrangement are included in prepaid expenses and other non-current assets in the Companys
consolidated balance sheet, and in operating cash flows in its consolidated statement of cash flows.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company compensates officers, directors and key employees with stock-based compensation under stock plans
approved by its shareholders and administered under the supervision of the Companys Board of Directors (Board). At
January3, 2026, a total of 3.4million shares were available for future grant. These plans include non-qualified stock
options and stock awards.
The Company records stock-based compensation expense based on the awards fair value at the grant date and the
awards that are expected to vest. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense over the period during
which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award. The Company reduces compensation

expense by estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated using historical experience and projected employee turnover.
The Company includes, as part of cash flows from operating activities, the benefit of tax deductions in excess of
recognized stock-based compensation expense. In addition, excess tax benefits or deficiencies are recorded as discrete
adjustments to income tax expense.
Stock Options
Stock option awards are granted at exercise prices equal to the closing price of the Companys stock on the grant date.
Generally, options vest proportionally over three years and expire after 10 years. Compensation expense is recognized
ratably over the vesting period.
The Company determines the fair value of stock options granted and the resulting compensation expense at the date-of-
grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. Descriptions of significant assumptions used to estimate the
expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected term are as follows:
Expected Volatility expected volatility was determined based on implied volatility of the Companys traded options
and historical volatility of the Companys stock price.
Risk-Free Interest Rate the risk-free interest rate was based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-
coupon issues at the date of grant with a term equal to the expected term.
Expected Term expected term represents the period that the Companys stock-based awards are expected to be
outstanding and was determined based on historical experience and anticipated future exercise patterns, giving
consideration to the contractual terms of unexercised stock-based awards.
Stock Awards
The Company issues stock awards to certain employees in conjunction with its stock-based compensation plan. The stock
awards generally vest over three years based on continued employment (time-based). Compensation expense related to
stock awards, except for stock awards with a market condition, is determined on the grant date based on the publicly
quoted closing price of the Companys common stock and is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the vesting
period. Stock awards with a market condition are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The significant
assumptions used to estimate the expected volatility and risk-free interest rate are similar to those described above in
Stock Options.
Certain time-based stock awards have a performance condition (performance-based). The final numberof shares earned
for performance-based stock awards and the related compensation expenseis adjusted up or down to the extent the
performance target is met. The actual number of shares that will ultimately be awarded range from 0% - 200% of the
targeted amount for the 2025, 2024 and 2023 awards. The Company evaluates the likelihood of meeting the performance
targets at each reporting period and adjusts compensation expense, on a cumulative basis, based on the expected
achievement of each of the performance targets. For performance-based stock awards granted in 2025, 2024 and 2023,
the performance targets are based on growth in net sales and in operating profit, and the performance periods are fiscal
2025 through 2027, 2024 through 2026 and fiscal 2023 through 2025, respectively.
See Note 8, Shareholders Deficit, for additional information on stock-based compensation.
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on
deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation
allowance is established for any portion of deferred tax assets that are not considered more likely than not to be realized.
The Company evaluates all available positive and negative evidence, including its forecast of future taxable income, to
assess the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (continued)
The Company records a liability for unrecognized tax benefits from uncertain tax positions taken, or expected to be taken,
in the Companys tax returns. The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax
positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the available evidence indicates it is
more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation
processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of
being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax
positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments, and may not accurately forecast actual outcomes.
The Company classifies net interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of income tax expense in its
consolidated statement of operations.
Refer to Note 12, Income Taxes for further information on the Companys income taxes.
Net Loss Per Share
The Company calculates basic net loss per share by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. It calculates diluted net loss per share based on the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding adjusted by the number of potentially dilutive common shares as determined by the treasury stock
method. Potentially dilutive shares consist of stock options and stock awards.
Sources of Supply
The Company currently obtains materials and components used to produce its beds from outside sources. As a result, the
Company is dependent upon suppliers that in some instances, are its sole source of supply, or supply the vast majority of
the particular component or material. The Company continuously evaluates opportunities to dual-source key components
and materials. The failure of one or more of the Companys suppliers to provide it with materials or components on a
timely basis could significantly impact the consolidated results of operations and net loss per share. While the Company
believes that these materials and components, or suitable replacements, could be obtained from other sources in the
event of a disruption or loss of supply, it may not be able to find alternative sources of supply or alternative sources of
supply on comparable terms and an unexpected loss of supply over a short period of time may not allow the Company to
replace these sources in the ordinary course of business.
Going Concern
The Companys financial statements have been prepared under the assumption that the Company will continue as a going
concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business for the
foreseeable future.
Historically, the Company has relied principally on liquidity generated from operating activities to fund the Companys day-
to-day operations and service its debt. Over the past three years, the Company has a history of net losses. For 2025, net
loss was $132million. Although the Company continues to pursue its turnaround strategy Sleep Number Shifts, centered
on product, marketing and distribution, as well as ongoing cost savings and operating efficiencies, to reignite growth and
increase financial resilience, the timing and realization of its turnaround strategy cannot be guaranteed to ensure sufficient
cash flow is generated to provide liquidity to meet the Companys obligations. In addition, the Company anticipates that it
will not remain in compliance with the financial covenants of its Credit Agreement for the next twelve months. These
conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Managements plan to address the substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern, as
described above, includes the following actions:
execute the Companys turnaround strategy centered on product, marketing and distribution with ongoing cost
savings and operating efficiencies to reignite growth and increase financial resilience;
engage in negotiations with the lenders in its Credit Agreement with the goal of amending or waiving financial
covenants and certain other provisions of its credit facility; and
| |

AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (continued)
engaged financial advisors to assist in negotiating with the lenders and identifying and securing additional capital
options, alternative financing arrangements, strategic alternatives, or other comprehensive solutions to address
the Companys capital structure and leverage needs to return to growth and create long-term value.
There can be no assurance of the Companys ability to realize these plans. As a result, the Company has concluded that
managements plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern for at
least one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company prospectively adopted the annual disclosure requirements of Accounting
Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The
amendments in this ASU require a public business entity to disclose a tabular tax rate reconciliation, using both
percentages and currency, with specific categories. A public business entity is also required to provide a qualitative
description of the states and local jurisdictions that make up the majority of the effect of the state and local income tax
category and the net amount of income taxes paid, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and also
disaggregated by individual jurisdictions. The Company has adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis, which resulted
in additional disclosures, but did not have any other impact on its consolidated financial statements. See Note 12, Income
Taxes, for applicable income tax-related disclosures required by this guidance.
Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense
Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)", which requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the
financial statements more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions in the
consolidated financial statements, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, and depreciation and
amortization. The amendments are effective for the Company beginning with the 2027 annual period and in interim
periods beginning in 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements and related
disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of
expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for
under Topic 606, including those assets acquired in a business combination. The practical expedient permits an entity to
assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the current accounts
receivable and current contract assets. This guidance is effective for the Company for its fiscal year and all interim periods
beginning January 4, 2026 on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the
impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting - Narrow Scope Improvements (Topic 270), which
clarifies the guidance to improve the consistency of interim financial reporting. The guidance provides a comprehensive
list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose events since the end
of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The guidance is effective for the Company for
its fiscal year and all interim periods beginning with the 2027 annual period and in interim periods beginning in 2028. Early
adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated
financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, which makes amendments to various
topics within the Accounting Standards Codification intended to clarify existing guidance and correct minor
inconsistencies. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning with the 2027 annual period and in interim periods
beginning in 2028. Early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments require retrospective application. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Currently, management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements,
if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
2. Fair Value Measurements
At January3, 2026 and December28, 2024, the Company had $17 million and $19million, respectively, of debt and
equity securities that fund its deferred compensation plan and are classified in other non-current assets. The Company
also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $17 million and $19million at January3, 2026 and
December28, 2024, 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 it 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. Credit Agreement
As of January3, 2026, the Companys credit facility had a total commitment amount of $655million. The credit facility, as
amended, is for general corporate purposes and to meet seasonal working capital requirements. The Credit Agreement
provides the lenders with a collateral security interest in substantially all of the Companys assets and those of its
subsidiaries and requires the Company to comply with, among other things, a maximum net leverage ratio and a minimum
interest coverage ratio.
The following tables summarizes the Companys borrowings under the credit facility ($ in thousands):
| |
| | January 3, 2026 | December 28, 2024 | |
| Outstanding borrowings | $588,200 | $546,600 | |

more frequent reporting requirements. In connection with the amendment, the Company also agreed to pay the lenders
certain amendment fees and to reimburse the lenders for certain expenses.
The Company was in compliance with all financial covenants as of January3, 2026.
7. Leases
The 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 the Companys local market development approach generally results in long-term participation in given
markets, its retail store leases generally provide for an initial lease term of five to 10 years. Sleep Numbers office and
manufacturing leases provide for an initial lease term of up to 15 years. In addition, its 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 the Companys sole discretion. Lease
options are included in the lease term only if exercise is reasonably certain at lease commencement. The Company lease
agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees. The Company also leases vehicles and certain
equipment under operating leases with an initial lease term of three to six years.
The Companys 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 the Company takes possession of the property. During lease renewal negotiations that extend beyond the original
lease term, the Company estimates 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 the Company is obligated are not
included in operating lease costs.
At January3, 2026, the Companys finance lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities were not significant.
The Company evaluates its operating lease ROU assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. During 2025, certain retail locations have ceased
operations (go-dark stores) but remain under lease obligations. As a result, the Company recorded impairment charges
of $17.7million, which are included in restructuring costs in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows.
The Company continues to monitor its real estate footprint and may incur additional impairment charges in future periods.

respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding, as their inclusion
would have had an anti-dilutive effect on net loss per diluted share.

12. Income Taxes
The Company has adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis, which resulted in additional income tax disclosures for
the rate reconciliation and related to income taxes paid for 2025. Given that the Company has elected to adopt ASU
2023-09 prospectively, the 2024 and 2023 rate reconciliation is not disaggregated in accordance with ASU 2023-09 and
the income taxes paid are not presented by jurisdiction.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) was enacted into law. The OBBBA makes permanent key
elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the
business interest expense limitation. ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on
deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. which occurred during the
Companys second quarter of fiscal 2025. Therefore, the Company has reflected the effect of the OBBBA within the
provision for income taxes for the fiscal year ended January3, 2026.

Deferred Income Taxes
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred income taxes were as follows (in thousands):
| |
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Deferred tax assets: | |
| Stock-based compensation | $5,243 | $7,090 | |

| Deferred tax liabilities: | |

| Total gross deferred tax liabilities | 98,139 | 118,423 | |
| Net deferred tax assets | $399 | $33,575 | |
At January3, 2026, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal purposes of $30.4million and have an
indefinite carryforward period. At January3, 2026, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for state purposes
of $25.5million which expire from 2030 through 2055.
Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income
will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence
evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended January3, 2026. Such objective evidence
limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as our projections for future growth.
On the basis of this evaluation, as of January3, 2026, a valuation allowance of $55.3 million has been recorded to
recognize only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized. The amount of the deferred
tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if additional objectively verifiable positive evidence
materializes in future reporting periods, such as a demonstrated operating profitability.

13. Segments
The Companys chief operating decision maker (CODM), who is the Chief Executive Officer, assesses company-wide
performance and allocates resources based on consolidated financial information. Consequently, the Company views the
entire organization as one reportable segment and the strategic purpose of all operating activities is to support that one
segment.
The CODM manages the Companys business activities as a single operating and reportable segment at the consolidated
level. The CODM uses net loss, as reported on the Companys consolidated statement of operations, in evaluating
performance of the Company in determining how to allocate resources of the Company as a whole, including investing in
the Companys product development, sales and marketing campaigns, and employee compensation. The measure of
segment assets that is reviewed by the CODM is reported within the consolidated balance sheet as consolidated total
assets. The CODM also uses consolidated earnings or losses before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(Adjusted EBITDA) as the basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of the Company.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business,
including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with U.S.
GAAP, the Company records a liability in its 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, the Company has not established an estimated
range of reasonably possible material losses either because it believes that it has valid defenses to claims asserted
against it, the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable it to establish an estimate, or the
potential loss is not material. The Company currently does not expect the outcome of pending legal proceedings to have a
material effect on its 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 the Company could
adversely impact its consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. The Company expenses legal
costs as incurred.
Purported Class Action Complaint
On September 27, 2024, a purported customer served a putative class action complaint on behalf of themself and a
putative class of California consumers against Sleep Number in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
California alleging that Sleep Numbers beds are perpetually on sale in violation of California law. The plaintiff seeks
injunctive relief, damages and attorneys fees. Sleep Number moved to dismiss the amended complaint, which motion the
Magistrate recommended be granted by the Court without prejudice. The Magistrates recommendation is pending with
the Court.
Consumer Credit Arrangements
The Company refers customers seeking extended financing to certain third-party financiers (Card Servicers). The Card
Servicers, if credit is granted, establish the interest rates, fees, and all other terms and conditions of the customers
account based on their evaluation of the creditworthiness of the customer. As the accounts are owned by the Card

AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - (continued)
Servicers, at no time are the accounts purchased or acquired from Sleep Number. The Company is not liable to the Card
Servicers for its customers credit defaults.
Commitments
As of January3, 2026, the Company has $28million of inventory purchase commitments. As part of the normal course of
business, there are a limited number of inventory supply contracts that contain penalty provisions for failure to purchase
contracted quantities. The Company does not currently expect any material payments under these provisions.
At January3, 2026, the Company had entered into 3 lease commitments primarily for future retail store locations. These
lease commitments provide for total lease payments over the next 7 to 10 years, which if consummated based on current
cost estimates, would approximate $3million over the initial lease term. The future lease payments for these lease
commitments have been excluded in the total operating lease payments in Note 7, Leases.
15. Subsequent Event
During fiscal 2025, U.S. tariffs were imposed under the International Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA) that applied to
some of the Companys direct import products. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the tariffs were
unauthorized. The ruling did not address potential refunds. In light of this, there is uncertainty regarding the likelihood and
timing of collection pending further direction from the courts and/or U.S. Customs.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains 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 Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated
and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The
Companys management, with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period
covered by this annual report. Based on this evaluation, its principal executive officer and principal financial officer
concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by
this annual report.
Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Sleep Numbers management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Companys internal control over financial reporting
is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation
of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Companys
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
Company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (3)
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of
the Companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
Management, with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based
on this evaluation under these criteria, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of January3, 2026. The report of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Companys independent registered public
accounting firm, regarding the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting is included in this
report in Part II, Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data under Report of Independent Registered Public
Accounting Firm.
Fourth Quarter Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended January3,
2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.
