☆ A global tax war is looming. It could hit Big Tech hard
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-03 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

New York CNN —A stalemate in Washington could destroy a landmark tax deal that was painstakingly hammered out among 140 countries over the better part of a decade. Some analysts say that the United States’ inability to ratify the deal could lead to a tax war among the richest nations that would hit tech behemoths like Google, Apple, Meta and Amazon particularly hard. Canada recently implemented a local tax on the world’s largest tech companies, something the OECD treaty had sought to avoid. New Zealand has also said it will implement its own digital services tax on large multinational companies beginning in 2025. The FTC also said that documents showed that competing mattress suppliers would lose access to its most important retail channel.

New York CNN —The Federal Trade Commission unanimously voted to block mattress maker Tempur Sealy’s purchase of Mattress Firm on Tuesday. Mattress Firm was already dealing with its own financial issues, including a 2018 bankruptcy. In a statement, Tempur Sealy said the bedding industry is “highly competitive” and only a small fraction of brick-and-mortar storefronts are Mattress Firms. “Tempur Sealy has been working constructively with the FTC to secure regulatory approval for this transaction and is disappointed that the FTC has initiated litigation. Correction: A previous story misstated the Tempur Sealy portfolio.

In fact, some 63% of U.S. adults sleep less than the recommended seven to nine hours a night, according to the National Sleep Foundation's Sleep Health Index.

☆ Mattress M&A is stuffed with sweet dreams
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-10 | by ( Lauren Silva Laughlin | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

Memory foam bedmaker Tempur Sealy International (TPX.N)agreed to buy rival Mattress Firm in a $4 billion cash-and-stock deal that combines manufacturing and retail. Mattress Firm filed for bankruptcy in 2018. Tempur’s superior 17% EBITDA margin, nearly double that of Mattress Firm, also helps make a deal stack up. Boosting Mattress Firm’s operating profitability from 10% to 13% could double those synergy projections. The buyer will retain slightly more than 83% of the combined company while Mattress Firm’s owners will hold the rest.

Shares of Tempur Sealy, which said the deal was expected to be closed in the second half of 2024, were down 3% in premarket trading. Lexington, Kentucky-based Tempur Sealy will pay around $2.7 billion in cash and $1.3 billion in Tempur stock issued to Mattress Firm shareholders, the companies said. After deal closure, Mattress Firm would operate as a separate business unit within Tempur Sealy. Tempur Sealy expects the deal to add to adjusted per-share earnings before synergies in the first year post-close. Tempur Sealy, which separately reported first-quarter sales in line with Wall Street estimates, said it would also expand its board and appoint two Mattress Firm directors once the deal closes.
