Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (a) Basis of Presentation and Description of Business. Tempur Sealy International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, together with its subsidiaries, is a U.S. based, multinational company. The term "Tempur Sealy International" refers to Tempur Sealy International, Inc. only, and the term "Company" refers to Tempur Sealy International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company develops, manufactures, markets and sells bedding products, which include mattresses, foundations and adjustable bases, and other products, which include pillows and other accessories. The Company also derives income from royalties by licensing Sealy® and Stearns & Foster® brands, technology and trademarks to other manufacturers. The Company sells its products through two sales channels: Wholesale and Direct. The Company has ownership interests in a group of Asia-Pacific joint ventures to develop markets for Sealy® branded products in those regions. The Company’s ownership interest in these joint ventures is 50.0%. The equity method of accounting is used for these joint ventures, over which the Company has significant influence but does not have control, and consolidation is not otherwise required. The Company's carrying value in its equity method investments of $16.0 million and $22.5 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, is recorded in other non-current assets within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s equity in the net income and losses of these investments is reported in equity income in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, in October 2020, the Company entered into a 50.0% ownership joint venture to reacquire the rights and acquire the assets to manufacture, market and distribute Sealy® and Stearns & Foster® branded products in the United Kingdom. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2019, included in the 2019 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2020. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. It is the opinion of management that all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods have been made and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein. (b) Adoption of New Accounting Standards. Goodwill. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)." The ASU simplifies the test for goodwill impairment, by eliminating Step 2 of the impairment test. Under ASU 2017-04, the goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill for the reporting unit. Adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements. Credit Losses. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)," which requires entities to estimate expected lifetime credit losses on financial assets and provide expanded disclosures. The ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with one that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The Company adopted the new credit losses standard using the modified retrospective approach. The cumulative effect of adoption at January 1, 2020 was $6.5 million, net of tax. The Company's primary financial assets are its trade accounts receivable, which are short-term financings with industry standard credit and trade terms. (c) Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, determined by the first-in, first-out method, and consist of the following:
| September 30, |  | December 31,
(in millions) | 2020 |  | 2019
Finished goods | $ | 139.4 |  |  | $ | 157.4 |
Work-in-process | 12.1 |  |  | 10.8 |
Raw materials and supplies | 124.1 |  |  | 92.3 |
| $ | 275.6 |  |  | $ | 260.5 |
(d) Accrued Sales Returns. The Company allows product returns through certain sales channels and on certain products. Estimated sales returns are provided at the time of sale based on historical sales channel return rates. Estimated future obligations related to these products are provided by a reduction of sales in the period in which the revenue is recognized. The Company considers the impact of recoverable salvage value on sales returns by segment in determining its estimate of future sales returns. Accrued sales returns are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had the following activity for sales returns from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020:
(in millions) |
Balance as of December 31, 2019 | $ | 39.3 |
Amounts accrued | 81.6 |
Returns charged to accrual | (78.8) |
Balance as of September 30, 2020 | $ | 42.1 |
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $29.0 million and $26.2 million of accrued sales returns are included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $13.1 million and $13.1 million of accrued sales returns are included in other non-current liabilities on the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. (e) Warranties. The Company provides warranties on certain products, which vary by segment, product and brand. Estimates of warranty expenses are based primarily on historical claims experience and product testing. Estimated future obligations related to these products are charged to cost of sales in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The Company considers the impact of recoverable salvage value on warranty costs in determining its estimate of future warranty obligations. The Company provides warranties on mattresses with varying warranty terms. Tempur-Pedic mattresses sold in the North America segment and all Sealy mattresses have warranty terms ranging from 10 to 25 years, generally non-prorated for the first 10 to 15 years and then prorated for the balance of the warranty term. Tempur-Pedic mattresses sold in the International segment have warranty terms ranging from 5 to 15 years, non-prorated for the first 5 years and then prorated on a straight-line basis for the last 10 years of the warranty term. Tempur-Pedic pillows have a warranty term of 3 years, non-prorated. The Company had the following activity for its accrued warranty expense from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020:
(in millions) |
Balance as of December 31, 2019 | $ | 41.6 |
Amounts accrued | 15.9 |
Warranties charged to accrual | (15.7) |
Balance as of September 30, 2020 | $ | 41.8 |
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, $18.8 million and $19.4 million of accrued warranty expense is included as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $23.0 million and $22.2 million of accrued warranty expense is included in other non-current liabilities on the Company’s accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. (f) Allowance for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of expected lifetime credit losses in the Company’s accounts receivable. The Company estimates losses over the contractual life using assumptions to capture the risk of loss, even if remote, based principally on how long a receivable has been outstanding. Other factors considered include historical write-off experience, current economic conditions and also factors such as customer credit, past transaction history with the customer and changes in customer payment terms. The allowance for credit losses is included in accounts receivable, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had the following activity for its allowance for credit losses from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2020:
(in millions) |  |
Balance as of December 31, 2019 |  | $ | 71.9 |
ASU 2016-13 adoption impact |  | 8.9 |
Amounts accrued |  | 32.8 |
Write-offs charged against the allowance |  | (17.0) |
Balance as of September 30, 2020 |  | $ | 96.6 |
