Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

We prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 30, 2013 of Select Comfort Corporation and subsidiaries (“Select Comfort” or the “Company”), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and they reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 30, 2013, and December 29, 2012 and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Our historical and quarterly results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full year or any future period.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 and other recent filings with the SEC.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the 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 financial statements in future periods. Our critical accounting policies consist of asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation, warranty liabilities and revenue recognition.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Select Comfort Corporation and our subsidiaries. All significant intra-entity balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Subsequent Events

Events that have occurred subsequent to March 30, 2013 have been evaluated through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued. There have been no subsequent events that occurred during such period that would require recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements as of or for the period ended March 30, 2013.

2. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities that are Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability. Our financial assets are valued using market prices based on either active markets (Level 1 measurements) or less active markets (Level 2 measurements).

Our Level 1 securities include U.S. Treasury securities as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on a consistent basis. Our Level 2 securities include U.S. Agency bonds, corporate bonds and municipal bonds whose value is determined by a third-party pricing service using inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data such as pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions, cash flow models with yield curves and benchmark securities.

We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the periods presented.

	$	32,542	$	57,364	$	—	$	89,906

At March 30, 2013, and December 29, 2012, we had $0.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of debt and equity securities that fund our deferred compensation plan and are classified in other assets. We also had corresponding deferred compensation plan liabilities of $0.8 million and $1.6 million at March 30, 2013, and December 29, 2012, respectively, which are included in other long-term liabilities. The majority of the debt and equity securities are Level 1 as they trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable us to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. Unrealized gains/(losses) on the debt and equity securities offset those associated with the corresponding deferred compensation liabilities.

3. Purchase of Comfortaire

On January 17, 2013, we completed the purchase of the business and assets of Comfortaire Corporation, a manufacturer and marketer of adjustable air-supported sleep systems. We purchased Comfortaire to progress our role as the leader in delivering innovative products as part of an individualized sleep experience, while also strengthening our competitive advantages. The acquisition price was $15.5 million. Comfortaire Corporation was a privately held company with 2012 net sales of $10.5 million. The purchase of Comfortaire's business and assets did not have a significant impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The following table summarizes the preliminary fair value of the net assets acquired as of March 30, 2013 (in thousands):

Accounts receivable	$	365
Inventories	678
Other assets	219
Property and equipment	509
Goodwill	6,157
Intangible assets	8,638
Total assets acquired	16,566
Accounts payable	344
Warranty liabilities	658
Other liabilities	64
Total liabilities acquired	1,066
Net assets acquired	$	15,500

The goodwill and the identifiable intangible assets will be deductible for income tax purposes over a 15-year period on a straight-line basis. Purchase accounting is considered preliminary, subject to revision, mainly with respect to certain working capital accounts, taxes, and goodwill, as final information was not available as of March 30, 2013.

Identifiable intangible assets and estimated useful lives are as follows (in thousands):

	Estimated
	Useful Life
Developed technologies	10 years	$	4,829
Customer relationships	7 years	2,413
Trade name/trademarks	Indefinite Lived	1,396

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no sales or maturities of marketable debt securities. During the three months endedMarch 30, 2013, there were no other-than-temporary declines in market value.

5. Inventories

Work in progress	205		236
Finished goods	25,792		30,239
	$	30,973	$	35,564

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill is the difference between the purchase price of a company and the fair market value of the acquired company's net identifiable assets. Intangible assets include developed technology, trade names/trademarks and customer relationships. Definite-lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated lives, ranging from 7-17 years. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are tested for impairment using a fair value approach. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or when there are indicators of impairment. Definite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

7. Debt

Credit Agreement

Our $20.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is an unsecured revolving credit facility that matures on April 23, 2015. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the amount of the line from $20.0 million up to $50.0 million in total availability, subject to lender approval.

Any borrowings under the Amendment will, at our request, be classified as either LIBOR Loans or Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) Loans (both as defined in the Credit Agreement). The rate of interest payable by us in respect of loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility is (i) with respect to LIBOR Loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the interest period then in effect, plus 1.25%; or (ii) with respect to ABR Loans, the ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then in effect for the Daily One-Month LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.50% or the prime rate. We are subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, including minimum tangible net worth, a requirement to maintain a minimum amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, and to maintain at the administrative agent cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities equal to the amount the lenders are committed to lend under the Credit Agreement.

⁽¹⁾ Includes $(0.4) million and $5.6 million of CEO transition (benefit) costs for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

CEO Transition Costs

In February 2012, we announced that William R. McLaughlin, then President and Chief Executive Officer would retire from the Company effective June 1, 2012. In recognition of Mr. McLaughlin’s contributions, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the modification of Mr. McLaughlin’s unvested stock awards, including performance stock awards. The performance stock awards are subject to applicable performance adjustments (through 2014) based on free cash flow and actual market share growth versus performance targets. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $5.6 million ($3.7 million, net of income tax) of non-recurring, non-cash expenses associated with these stock award modifications. In the first three months of 2013, we recorded a non-cash compensation benefit of $0.4 million ($0.3 million, net of income tax) resulting from performance-based stock award adjustments.

10. Employee Benefits

Under our profit sharing and 401(k) plan, eligible employees may defer up to 50% of their compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. Each year, we may make a discretionary contribution equal to a percentage of the employee’s contribution. During three months endedMarch 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 our contributions, net of forfeitures, were $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

11. Other Income, Net

Other income, net, consisted of the following (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended

Interest income	$	105		$	50
Interest expense	(14		)	(43		)
Other income, net	$	91		$	7

12. Net Income per Common Share

The following computations reconcile net income per share – basic with net income per share – diluted (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012
Net income	$	23,471	$	22,417
Reconciliation of weighted-average shares outstanding:
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	55,095		55,640
Effect of dilutive securities:
Options	690		1,156
Restricted shares	466		644
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	56,251		57,440
Net income per share – basic	$	0.43	$	0.40

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Sales Returns

The accrued sales returns estimate is based on historical return rates, which are reasonably consistent from period to period, and is adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. If actual returns vary from expected rates, sales in future periods are adjusted.

The activity in the sales returns liability account was as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013			March 31, 2012
Balance at beginning of year	$	5,330		$	4,402
Additions that reduce net sales	12,963			13,066
Deductions from reserves	(13,230		)	(12,047		)
Acquired sales return reserve	50			—
Balance at end of period	$	5,113		$	5,421

Warranty Liabilities

We provide a 20-year limited warranty on our beds. The customer participates over the last 18 years of the warranty period by paying a portion of the retail value of replacement parts. The estimated warranty costs, which are expensed at the time of sale and included in cost of sales, are based on historical claims rates incurred by us and are adjusted for any current trends as appropriate. Actual warranty claim costs could differ from these estimates. We regularly assess and adjust the estimate of accrued warranty claims by updating claims rates for actual trends and projected claim costs.

We classify 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): 

	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013			March 31, 2012
Balance at beginning of year	$	4,858		$	6,310
Additions charged to costs and expenses for current-year sales	1,469			1,448
Deductions from reserves	(1,403		)	(1,383		)
Changes in liability for pre-existing warranties during the current year, including expirations	(306		)	505
Acquired warranty reserve	658			—
Balance at end of period	$	5,276		$	6,880

Legal Proceedings

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

Results of Operations

Quarterly and Annual Results

Quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly as a result of a variety of factors, including increases or decreases in sales, the timing, amount and effectiveness of advertising expenditures, changes in sales return rates or warranty experience, the timing of store openings/closings and related expenses, changes in net sales resulting from changes in our store base, the timing of promotional offerings, competitive factors, changes in commodity costs, any disruptions in supplies or third-party service providers, seasonality of retail and bedding industry sales, timing of QVC shows, consumer confidence and general economic conditions. As a result, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for any future period.

Highlights

Financial highlights for the three months endedMarch 30, 2013 were as follows:

• Net income increased5% to $23.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared with net income of $22.4 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the same period one year ago. Financial results for 2012 included a $5.6 million ($3.7 million, net of income tax), or $0.06 per diluted share, non-recurring, non-cash charge associated with the June 1, 2012 chief executive officer transition.

• Net sales decreased2% to $258.2 million, compared with $262.4 million for the same period one year ago, primarily due to changes to our media buying, which negatively impacted customer traffic and sales. The changes to media buying were a key contributing factor to the 9% comparable sales decline in our Company-Controlled channel, against the backdrop of soft industry performance. Management took decisive action to correct the media buying issue and adjust discretionary expenses during the quarter.

• Operating income increased to $35.2 million, or 13.6% of net sales, for the three months endedMarch 30, 2013 compared with $34.3 million, or 13.1% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. Adjusted operating income (operating income excluding CEO transition (benefit) costs) decreased to $34.8 million, or 13.5% of net sales, for the three months ended March 30, 2013

16

compared with $39.9 million, or 15.2% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The decline in adjusted operating income was primarily due to the 2% net sales decrease and increased sales and marketing expenses.

• Retail sales-per-store (for stores open at least one year), on a trailing twelve-month basis, increased by 12% from one year ago to $2.1 million.

• Cash provided by operating activities totaled $45.0 million for the three months endedMarch 30, 2013, compared with $44.5 million for the same period one year ago.

• At March 30, 2013, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $181.4 million compared with $177.8 million at December 29, 2012, and we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In the first quarter of 2013, we repurchased 458,637 shares of our common stock under our Board approved share repurchase program at a cost of $10.0 million ($21.82 per share).

• On January 17, 2013, we completed the purchase of the business and assets of Comfortaire Corporation, a manufacturer and marketer of adjustable air-supported sleep systems, for $15.5 million. Comfortaire Corporation was a privately held company with 2012 net sales of $10.5 million. We purchased Comfortaire to progress our role as the leader in delivering innovative products as part of an individualized sleep experience, while also strengthening our competitive advantages.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, our results of operations expressed as dollars and percentages of net sales. Figures are in millions, except percentages and per share amounts. Amounts may not add due to rounding differences.

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 30, 2013 with Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Net sales

Net sales decreased2% to $258.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013, compared with $262.4 million for the same period one year ago. The sales decrease was primarily driven by a 9% comparable sales decrease in our Company-Controlled channel partially offset by the sales from 31 net new stores opened in the past 12 months. Changes to our media buying, which negatively impacted customer traffic and sales, were a key contributing factor to the 9% comparable sales decline. Management took decisive action to correct the media buying issue and is making steady progress against a backdrop of soft industry performance. Company-Controlled mattress units decreased 15% compared to the prior-year period. Average net sales per mattress unit in our Company-Controlled channel increased by 14%.

The $4.1 million net sales decrease compared with the same period one year ago was comprised of the following: (i) a $17.1 million decrease in sales from our Company-Controlled comparable retail stores, partially offset by a $13.1 million sales increase resulting from net new store openings; (ii) a $3.7 million decrease in Direct and E-Commerce sales; and (iii) a $3.6 million increase in Wholesale/Other channel sales.

Gross profit

The gross profit rate improved to 63.3% of net sales for the three months ended March 30, 2013, compared with 62.6% for the prior year period. Approximately 0.5 percentage points (“ppt.”) of the gross profit rate improvement was due to price increases associated with product innovations over the last 12 months. In addition, the prior-year period included higher promotional costs (approximately 0.4 ppt.) resulting mainly from the close-out and re-launch of our classic-series beds. The remaining change is due to a variety of factors that can fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter, including manufacturing efficiencies and logistics costs.

Sales and marketing expenses

Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 30, 2013increased3% to $109.8 million, or 42.5% of net sales, compared with $106.2 million, or 40.5% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $3.6 million expense increase was primarily due to a $2.9 million, or 8%, increase in media spending, and $5.0 million of incremental fixed costs associated with new, relocated and remodeled stores. These increases were offset by a decrease in variable selling expenses resulting from the lower sales volume. The sales and marketing expense rate increased 2.0 ppt. compared with the same period one year ago due to the increase in media spending, fixed store costs and the deleveraging impact of the 2% net sales decline.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses decreased$0.7 million to $16.2 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013, compared with $16.9 million in the same period one year ago, and decreased to 6.3% of net sales, compared with 6.5% of net sales last year. The $0.7 million decrease in G&A expenses was primarily due to a $3.6 million decrease in performance-based incentive compensation and stock-based compensation, partially offset by (i) a $1.5 million increase in employee compensation resulting from headcount increases to support growth initiatives of the business, and salary and wage rate increases that were in line with inflation; (ii) $0.7 million of additional depreciation expense resulting from the increase in capital expenditures to support the growth of the business; and (iii) a $0.7 million net increase in miscellaneous other expenses, including outside consulting expenses. The G&A expense rate decreased by 0.2 ppt. in the current period compared with the same period one year ago due to the net reduction in expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 30, 2013 were $2.6 million, or 1.0% of net sales, compared with $1.3 million, or 0.5% of net sales, for the same period one year ago. The $1.3 million change in R&D expenses was due to increased investments in product innovations during the current year.

CEO transition costs

In February 2012, we announced that William R. McLaughlin, then President and Chief Executive Officer would retire from the Company effective June 1, 2012. In recognition of Mr. McLaughlin’s contributions to the Company, the Company’s Compensation Committee approved the modification of Mr. McLaughlin’s unvested stock awards, including performance stock awards. The performance stock awards are subject to applicable performance adjustments (through 2014) based on free cash flow and actual market share growth versus performance targets. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $5.6 million ($3.7 million, net of income tax) of non-recurring, non-cash expenses associated with these stock award modifications. During the three months ended March 30, 2013, we recorded a non-cash compensation benefit of $0.4 million ($0.3 million, net of income tax) resulting from performance-based stock award adjustments.

19

Asset impairment charges

During the three months ended March 30, 2013 we recognized asset impairment charges of $30 thousand related to certain store assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 we recognized asset impairment charges of $4 thousand related to certain store assets.

Other income, net

Other income, net was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013, compared with other income, net of $7 thousand for the comparable period one year ago. The current-year improvement in other income, net was primarily due to a higher average yield on our portfolio in the current-year period, an increase in our average cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities balance for the three months ended March 30, 2013 compared with the same period one year ago, and a reduction of fees associated with our line of credit.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense was $11.8 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013 compared with $11.9 million for the same period one year ago. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2013 was 33.5%, a decrease from the prior-year period rate of 34.7%. The 2013 effective tax rate was positively impacted by the retroactive reinstatement of the research and development tax credit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 30, 2013, cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities totaled $181.4 million compared with $177.8 million as of December 29, 2012. The $3.6 millionincrease was primarily due to $45.0 million of cash provided by operating activities offset by $14.3 million of cash used to purchase property and equipment, $17.0 million of strategic investments, including the purchase of Comfortaire (see discussion below), and $10.1 million of cash used to repurchase our common stock. Our $96.6 million of marketable debt securities held as of March 30, 2013 are all highly liquid and include U.S. government and agency securities, corporate debt securities and municipal bonds.

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months endedMarch 30, 2013, and March 31, 2012 (dollars in millions). Amounts may not add due to rounding differences:

	Three Months Ended
	March 30, 2013			March 31, 2012
Total cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	45.0		$	44.5
Investing activities	(38.3		)	(9.3		)
Financing activities	(9.8		)	(0.6		)
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(3.1	)	$	34.7

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months endedMarch 30, 2013 was $45.0 million compared with $44.5 million for the three months endedMarch 31, 2012. The $0.5 million year-over-year increase in cash from operating activities was comprised of a $1.1 millionincrease in our net income for the three months endedMarch 30, 2013 compared with the same period one year ago and a $0.4 millionincrease in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by a $0.9 milliondecrease in adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $38.3 million for the three months ended March 30, 2013, compared with net cash used in investing activities of $9.3 million for the same period one year ago. Investing activities for the current-year period included $14.3 million of property and equipment purchases, compared with $9.3 million for the same period one year ago. Capital expenditures - primarily for new stores, repositioned and remodeled stores, and continued investment in customer-management systems and other information technology that supports the growth of the business - are projected to be approximately $70 - $80 million in 2013 compared with $51.6 million in 2012. On a net basis, we invested $7.0 million in marketable debt securities during the three months endedMarch 30, 2013 compared with none during the comparable period one year ago. On January 17, 2013, we completed the purchase of the business and assets of Comfortaire Corporation, a manufacturer and marketer of adjustable air-supported sleep systems, for $15.5 million. Comfortaire Corporation was a privately held company with 2012 net sales of $10.5 million. We purchased Comfortaire to progress our role as the leader in delivering innovative products as part of an individualized sleep experience, while also strengthening our competitive advantages.

20

See Note 3, Purchase of Comfortaire, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional details. In addition, we made a $1.5 million minority equity investment in one of our strategic product-development partners and committed to invest an additional $3.0 million during the remainder of 2013.

Net cash used in financing activities was $9.8 million for the three months endedMarch 30, 2013, compared with net cash used in financing activities of $0.6 million for the same period one year ago. During the three months endedMarch 30, 2013, we repurchased $10.1 million of our stock ($10.0 million under our Board approved share repurchase program and $0.1 million in connection with the vesting of employee restricted stock grants) compared with $1.2 million during the same period one year ago. Changes in book overdrafts and payments on capital lease obligations are included in the net change in short-term borrowings. Financing activities for both periods reflect the vesting of employee restricted stock awards and exercise of employee stock options along with the associated excess tax benefits.

During the second quarter of 2012, we reinitiated repurchasing our common stock with the current objective to maintain common shares outstanding at or slightly below existing levels. Under the Board approved $290 million share repurchase program, we repurchased 458,637 shares at a cost of $10.0 million ($21.82 per share) during the three months endedMarch 30, 2013. We did not repurchase any shares under our share repurchase program during the three months endedMarch 31, 2012. As of March 30, 2013, the remaining authorization under our Board approved share repurchase program was $166.7 million. There is no expiration date governing the period over which we can repurchase shares.

Our $20.0 million Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is an unsecured revolving credit facility that matures April 23, 2015. The Credit Agreement contains an accordion feature that allows us to increase the amount of the line from $20.0 million to up to $50.0 million in total availability, subject to lender approval. As of March 30, 2013 we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Any borrowings under the Credit Agreement will, at our request, be classified as either LIBOR Loans or Adjusted Base Rate (“ABR”) Loans (both as defined in the Credit Agreement). The rate of interest payable by us in respect of loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility is (i) with respect to LIBOR Loans, the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the interest period then in effect, plus 1.25%; or (ii) with respect to ABR Loans, the ABR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) then in effect for the Daily One-Month LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.50% or the prime rate. We are subject to certain financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, including minimum tangible net worth, a requirement to maintain a minimum amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, and to maintain at the administrative agent cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities equal to the amount the lenders are committed to lend under the Credit Agreement.

Our business model, which can operate with minimal working capital, does not require additional capital from external sources to fund operations or organic growth. The $181.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities, cash generated from ongoing operations, and cash available under our revolving credit facility are expected to be adequate to maintain operations and fund anticipated expansion and strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future.

We have an agreement with GE Capital Retail Bank to offer qualified customers revolving credit arrangements to finance purchases from us (“GE Agreement”). The GE Agreement contains certain financial covenants, including a minimum tangible net worth requirement and a minimum cash requirement. As of March 30, 2013 we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Under the terms of the GE Agreement, GE Capital Retail Bank sets the minimum acceptable credit ratings, the interest rates, fees and all other terms and conditions of the customer accounts, including collection policies and procedures, and is the owner of the accounts.

Non-GAAP Data Reconciliations

Reported to Adjusted Statements of Operations Data (in thousands, except per share amounts)

In addition to disclosing results that are determined in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), we also disclose non-GAAP results that exclude certain significant charges or credits. Our "as adjusted" data is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and is not in accordance with, or preferable to, "as reported," or GAAP financial date. However, we believe that the disclosure of results excluding certain significant charges or credits provides additional insights into underlying business performance and facilitates year-over-year comparisons. Below are our reconciliations of our non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

⁽¹⁾ In February 2012, we announced that William R. McLaughlin, then President and CEO, would retire from the Company effective June 1, 2012. In recognition of Mr. McLaughlin’s contributions, the Compensation Committee approved the modification of Mr. McLaughlin’s currently unvested stock awards, including performance-based stock awards. As a result of these modifications, we recorded incremental non-cash compensation of $5.6 million in the first three months of 2012. The performance-based stock awards are subject to applicable adjustments through 2014 based on actual performance versus performance targets. In the first three months of 2013, we recorded a non-cash compensation benefit of $0.4 million resulting from performance-based stock award adjustments.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)

We define earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) as net income plus: income tax expense, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and asset impairments. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful indicator of our financial performance and our ability to generate cash from operating activities. Our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled definitions used by other companies. The table below reconciles Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, to the comparable GAAP financial measure.

Our Adjusted EBITDA calculations for the three months and trailing-twelve months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Trailing-Twelve Months Ended
	March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012		March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012
Net income	$	23,471	$	22,417	$	79,148	$	66,312
Income tax expense	11,847		11,886		41,872		32,043
Interest expense	14		43		62		173

Stock-based compensation	432		6,964		3,774		10,801
Asset impairments	30		4		174		35
Adjusted EBITDA	$	42,127	$	45,544	$	146,868	$	123,938

Free Cash Flow

Our “free cash flow” data is considered a non-GAAP financial measure and is not in accordance with, or preferable to, “net cash provided by operations,” or GAAP financial data. However, we are providing this information as we believe it facilitates analysis for investors and financial analysts.

The following table summarizes our free cash flow calculations for the three months and trailing-twelve months ended March 30, 2013, and March 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands): 

	Three Months Ended				Trailing-Twelve Months Ended
	March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012		March 30, 2013		March 31, 2012

Free cash flow	$	30,713	$	35,237	$	44,509	$	73,277

Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

As of March 30, 2013, we were not involved in any unconsolidated special purpose entity transactions. Other than our operating leases, we do not have any off-balance-sheet financing. There were no outstanding letters of credit at March 30, 2013.

There has been no material change in our contractual obligations since the end of fiscal 2012. See Note 7, Debt, of the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding our credit agreement. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012 for additional information regarding our other contractual obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies

We discuss our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2012. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since the end of fiscal 2012.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Changes in the overall level of interest rates affect interest income generated from our short-term and long-term investments in marketable debt securities. If overall interest rates were one percentage point lower than current rates, our annual interest income would not change by a significant amount based on our investments in marketable debt securities as of March 30, 2013 and the current low interest-rate environment. We do not manage our investment interest-rate volatility risk through the use of derivative instruments.

As of March 30, 2013, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business, including primarily commercial, product liability, employment and intellectual property claims. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, we record a liability in our consolidated financial statements with respect to any of these matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. With respect to currently pending legal proceedings, we have not established an estimated range of reasonably possible additional losses either because we believe that we have valid defenses to claims asserted against us or the proceeding has not advanced to a stage of discovery that would enable us to establish an estimate. We currently do not expect the outcome of these matters to have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Litigation, however, is inherently unpredictable, and it is possible that the ultimate outcome of one or more claims asserted against us could adversely impact our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We expense legal costs as incurred.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business, financial condition and operating results are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including both those that are specific to our business and others that affect all businesses operating in a global environment. Investors should carefully consider the information in this report under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and also the information under the heading, “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. The risk factors discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional risk factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations.
