According to TheStreet.com: “A survey of analysts by FactSet produced consensus estimates of GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings of (just) $1.48 a share, or an adjusted $1.51, on revenue of $555.1 million.”

For the full year, the Minneapolis-based airbed maker saw a heady 79% income increase to $139.2 million, on annual sales of $1.86 billion (9% increase). Full-year diluted earnings per share grew 81% versus the prior year to $4.90.

“In a year of challenge and change, our mission-driven team delivered exceptional results by leveraging the power of vertical integration, digitization and focusing on what matters most to our stakeholders,” said Shelly Ibach, president and chief executive officer. “With strong momentum in the first quarter and ongoing investments in sleep science-based innovations and digital technologies, we are well-positioned to generate sustainable profitable growth for years to come.”

The company expects to generate full-year 2021 earnings per diluted share of at least $6, which is approximately 30% higher than 2020 full-year results.

The company ended fiscal 2020 with 602 stores, nine fewer than in 2019.
