Tempur-Pedic International has increased its guidance for 2005, anticipating annual sales to be about $880 million. The maker and marketer of visco-elastic mattresses and pillows also expects earnings per share to be about $1.08.
On a pro-forma basis, Tempur-Pedic anticipates EPS of about $1.10.
In late January, the company said it expected annual sales in the range of $830 million to $850 million, with pro-forma EPS of $1 to $1.05.
Tempur-Pedic Chairman and CEO Robert Trussell said, "The strong performance we experienced throughout 2004 has continued into the first quarter of 2005 across our business.
