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 Number’s beds are perpetually on sale in violation of California law. The plaintiff seeks
injunctive relief, damages and attorney’s fees. Sleep Number moved to dismiss the amended complaint, which motion the
Magistrate recommended be granted by the Court without prejudice. The Magistrate’s 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 customer’s
account based on their evaluation of the creditworthiness of the customer. As the accounts are owned by the Card
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 January 3, 2026, the Company has $28 million 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 January 3, 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 $3 million 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.
