• Substantial Doubt About Going Concern

  Both management and the independent registered public accounting firm (Deloitte & Touche LLP) have expressed 'substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern' due to a history of net losses and anticipated non-compliance with debt covenants.

• Significant Net Loss Reported

  The company reported a net loss of $132 million for fiscal year 2025, a substantial increase from the $20 million net loss in 2024, and a diluted net loss per share of $5.77.

• Anticipated Debt Covenant Non-Compliance

  Sleep Number anticipates it will not remain in compliance with the financial covenants of its Credit Agreement for the next twelve months, which could result in lenders declaring all indebtedness due and payable.

• Credit Facility Amended with Reduced Capacity

  A November 2025 amendment to the Credit Agreement extended the maturity to December 2027 but reduced the revolving credit facility from $485 million to $475 million (further decreasing to $465 million by July 2026) and introduced new quarterly minimum EBITDA covenants.

Sleep Number's annual report reveals a critical financial situation, with both management and the independent auditor expressing 'substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.' This is driven by a significant net loss of $132 million for fiscal year 2025, which far exceeds the company's current market capitalization. The company also anticipates non-compliance with financial covenants of its credit agreement within the next twelve months, which could lead to debt acceleration. While a credit agreement amendment in November 2025 extended maturity and adjusted covenants, it also reduced the revolving credit facility. Further, the company incurred $50.7 million in restructuring costs in 2025 and suspended 401(k) matching contributions, signaling severe financial strain. The recording of a $55.3 million valuation allowance on deferred taxes underscores the bleak outlook for future profitability. This filing provides comprehensive, audited details following a preliminary 8-K announcement, confirming the depth of the company's financial distress and the existential threat it faces.
