The Company continues to bring the latest in wholesome, innovative products made with lifestyle-friendly ingredients such as organic, plant-based and gluten-free. As of April 2, 2023, the Company operated 395 stores in 23 states. For convenience, the “Company” is used to refer collectively to Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and unless the context otherwise requires, its subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and are in the form prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission in instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. The information included in these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023 (“fiscal year 2022”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on March 2, 2023.

The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

All dollar amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

Revision of previously issued financial statements

The Company identified an error in the financing activities section of its consolidated statements of cash flows for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2022, related to the presentation of proceeds from and repayments of borrowings associated with a modification of the Company's revolving credit facility on March 25, 2022. The correction of the error did not have any impact on the previously reported consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, or statements of comprehensive income, nor did it have any impact on total cash flows from operating activities or used in investing or financing activities. Although the Company has determined that the error did not have a material impact on its previously issued consolidated financial statements, the Company revised the presentation of cash flows from financing activities to reflect the proceeds from borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $62.5 million as a cash inflow from financing activities, and the repayments of borrowings under the revolving credit facility of $62.5 million as a cash outflow from financing activities.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP. This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

(UNAUDITED)

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets.

The determination of fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets for purposes of the Company’s goodwill or long-lived asset impairment evaluation is based upon Level 3 inputs. When necessary, the Company uses third party market data and market participant assumptions to derive the fair value of its asset groupings, which primarily include right-of-use lease assets and property and equipment.

Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and accrued salaries and benefits approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Based on comparable open market transactions, the fair value of the long-term debt approximated carrying value as of April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023.

4. Long-Term Debt and Finance Lease Liabilities

Credit Agreement

The Company’s subsidiary, Sprouts Farmers Markets Holdings, LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”), is the borrower under a credit agreement entered into on March 25, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with an initial aggregate commitment of $700.0 million. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be increased from time to time in accordance with an expansion feature set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $3.4 million related to the Credit Agreement, which, combined with the remaining $0.5 million debt issuance costs in respect of that certain amended and restated credit agreement entered into on March 27, 2018, by and among the Company, Intermediate Holdings, certain lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Former Credit Facility”), which remained outstanding as of the time of Intermediate Holdings’ entry into the Credit Agreement, are being amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the five-year term of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $70.0 million letter of credit sub-facility (the "Letter of Credit Sub-Facility") and a $50.0 million swingline facility. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement reduce the capacity of Intermediate Holdings to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit totaling $21.6 million have been issued as of April 2, 2023 under the Letter of Credit Sub-Facility, primarily to support the Company’s insurance programs.

Interest and Fees

Loans under the Credit Agreement will initially bear interest, at the Company's option, either at the Term SOFR (with a floor of 0.00%) plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment and 1.00% per annum or base rate (with a floor of 0.00%) plus 0.00% per annum. The interest rate margins are subject to upward adjustments pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio as set forth in the Credit Agreement and to upward or downward adjustments of up to 0.05% based upon the achievement of certain diversity and sustainability-linked metric thresholds, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay a commitment fee on the available unused amount of the commitments, which commitment fee ranges between 0.10% to 0.225% per annum, pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The commitment fees are subject to upward or downward adjustments of up to 0.01% based upon the achievement of certain diversity and sustainability-linked metric thresholds, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Company may prepay loans and permanently reduce commitments under the Credit Agreement at any time in agreed-upon minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty (except SOFR breakage costs, if applicable).

In connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement, the Company's obligations under the Former Credit Facility were prepaid and terminated.

During the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023, the Company made no additional borrowings and made principal payments of $25.0 million, resulting in total outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement of $225.0 million as of April 2, 2023. During 2022, the Company made no additional borrowings or principal payments, other than the net change of $62.5 million in the composition of the lending syndicate associated with a modification of the Company's revolving credit facility on March 25, 2022, resulting in total outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement of $250.0 million as of January 1, 2023.

12

Table of Contents

SPROUTS FARMERS MARKET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(UNAUDITED)

Each of these covenants is subject to customary and other agreed-upon exceptions.

In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Company and its subsidiaries maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio not to exceed 3.75 to 1.00, which ratio may be increased from time to time in connection with certain permitted acquisitions pursuant to conditions as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and a minimum interest coverage ratio not to be less than 3.00 to 1.00. Each of these covenants is tested as of the last day of each fiscal quarter.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Agreement as of April 2, 2023.

5. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 23.3% for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023, compared to 24.3% for the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2022. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to an increase in excess tax benefits associated with share-based payment awards, partially offset by an increase of non-deductible executive compensation. The income tax effect resulting from excess tax benefits of share-based payment awards were $2.6 million and $1.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns for federal purposes and in many states. The Company’s tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time, generally three years, following the tax year to which those filings relate.

6. Related Party Transactions

On May 24, 2022, the Company appointed a new member to its board of directors who served as an executive officer of a company that is a supplier of nutrition bars and related products to the Company for resale. The director departed employment from this supplier on February 28, 2023, and the cost of sales recognized from this supplier during the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023 was immaterial.

The Company is exposed to claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business and uses various methods to resolve these matters that are believed to best serve the interests of the Company’s stakeholders. The Company’s primary contingencies are associated with self-insurance obligations and litigation matters. Self-insurance liabilities require significant judgment and actual claim settlements and associated expenses may differ from the Company’s current provisions for loss.

Proposition 65 Coffee Action

On April 13, 2010, an organization named Council for Education and Research on Toxics (“CERT”) filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against nearly 80 defendants who manufacture, package, distribute or sell brewed coffee, including the Company. CERT alleged that the defendants failed to provide warnings for their coffee products of exposure to the chemical acrylamide as required under California Health and Safety Code section 25249.5, the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known as Proposition 65. CERT seeks equitable relief, including providing warnings to consumers of coffee products, as well as civil penalties.

The Company, as part of a joint defense group, asserted multiple defenses against the lawsuit. On May 7, 2018, the trial court issued a ruling adverse to defendants on these defenses to liability. On October 1, 2019, before the court tried damages, remedies and attorneys' fees, California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment adopted a regulation that exempted “Exposures to listed chemicals in coffee created by and inherent in the processes of roasting coffee beans or brewing coffee” from Proposition 65’s warning requirement. On August 25, 2020, the court granted the defense motion for summary judgment based on the regulation, and the case was dismissed.

On November 20, 2020, CERT filed a notice of appeal to appeal the ruling on the defense motion for summary judgment. On October 26, 2022, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s decision. In December 2022, CERT appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court of the State of California, which denied the petition for review in February 2023. Until the case is dismissed by the trial court, the Company is unable to predict or reasonably estimate any potential loss or effect on the Company or its operations. Accordingly, no loss contingency was recorded for this matter.

Share Repurchases

On March 2, 2022, the Company's board of directors authorized a new $600 million share repurchase program for its common stock. The new authorization replaced the Company's then-existing share repurchase authorization of $300 million that was due to expire on March 3, 2024, of which $99.8 million remained available upon its replacement. No further shares may be repurchased under the $300 million authorization. The following table outlines the common stock share repurchase programs authorized by the Company’s board of directors and the related repurchase activity and available authorization as of April 2, 2023.

The shares under the Company’s repurchase programs may be purchased on a discretionary basis from time to time through the applicable expiration date, subject to general business and market conditions and other investment opportunities, through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans. The board’s authorization of the share repurchase programs does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the repurchase programs may be commenced, suspended, or discontinued at any time.

Shares purchased under the Company’s repurchase programs were subsequently retired and the excess of the repurchase price over par value was charged to retained earnings. The cost of common shares repurchased during the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023 included the 1% excise tax imposed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

Subsequent to April 2, 2023 and through the date of this filing, the Company repurchased an additional 0.5 million shares of common stock for $16.0 million.

9. Net Income Per Share

The computation of basic net income per share is based on the number of weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effect of share equivalents consisting of incremental shares deemed outstanding from the assumed exercise of options and unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs"). Performance share awards ("PSAs") are included in the computation of diluted net income per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions are satisfied prior to the end of the reporting period or would be satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related performance period, and if the effect would be dilutive.

(UNAUDITED)

For the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023, the Company had 0.4 million options, 0.4 million RSUs and 0.5 million PSAs outstanding which were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as those awards would have been antidilutive or were performance awards with performance conditions not yet deemed met. For the thirteen weeks ended April 3, 2022, the Company had 0.2 million options, 0.5 million RSUs, and 0.5 million PSAs outstanding which were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share as those awards would have been antidilutive or were performance awards with performance conditions not yet deemed met.

The Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023.

In December 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its cash flow associated with variable interest rates. This forward contract was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge, and its change in fair value was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods in which the forecasted transaction occurred. The forward contract consisted of five cash flow hedges with a notional dollar amount of $250.0 million, and each had a length of one year and matured annually from 2018 to 2022.

The gain or loss on these derivative instruments was recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax, with the portion related to current period interest payments reclassified to interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of income. The following table summarizes these losses classified on the consolidated statements of income:

11. Comprehensive Income

Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were included within interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of income.

12. Segments

The Company has one reportable and one operating segment.

The Company categorizes the varieties of products it sells as perishable and non-perishable. Perishable product categories include produce, meat and meat alternatives, seafood, deli, bakery, floral and dairy and dairy alternatives. Non-perishable product categories include grocery, vitamins and supplements, bulk items, frozen foods, beer and wine, and natural health and body care.

13. Share-Based Compensation

2022 Incentive Plan

In March 2022, the Company’s board of directors adopted the Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. 2022 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2022 Incentive Plan”), which became effective May 25, 2022, upon approval by the Company’s stockholders. The 2022 Incentive Plan provides team members of the Company, certain consultants and advisors who perform services for the Company, and non-employee members of the Company's board of directors with the opportunity to receive grants of equity awards, including stock options, RSUs, PSAs, and other stock-based awards. The 2022 Incentive Plan replaced the 2013 Incentive Plan (as described below).

Awards Granted under the 2022 Incentive Plan

The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued to team members and directors under the 2022 Incentive Plan may not exceed 6,600,000, subject to the following adjustments. If any awards granted under the 2022 Incentive Plan, terminate, expire, or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, vested or paid in shares, the shares will again be available for purposes of the 2022 Incentive Plan. In addition, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”) that terminate, expire, are paid in cash, or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, vested, or paid in shares under the 2013 Incentive Plan after the effective date of the 2022 Incentive Plan will be available for issuance under the 2022 Incentive Plan.

The performance conditions with respect to fiscal year 2021 EBIT were deemed to have been met, and the PSAs vested at the maximum pay out level on the third anniversary of the grant date (March 2022). There were no outstanding 2019 PSAs as of April 2, 2023.

PSAs granted in 2020 were subject to the Company achieving certain earnings before taxes (“EBT”) performance targets for the 2022 fiscal year.

Share-based Compensation Expense

During the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023 and April 3, 2022, the Company received $5.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, in cash proceeds from the exercise of options.

The Company’s goodwill balance was $381.8 million and $368.9 million as of April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, respectively. As of April 2, 2023 and January 1, 2023, the Company had no accumulated goodwill impairment losses. The goodwill was related to the acquisitions of Sunflower Farmers Market, Henry’s Farmers Market and Ronald Cohn, Inc. For further details, see Note 16, "Business Combination".

15. Store Closures

In February 2023, the Company's board of directors approved the closing of 11 stores during 2023. These stores, on average, are approximately 30% larger than the Company's current prototype format and were underperforming financially. The closure of these stores resulted in a charge of $27.8 million during the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023 related to the impairment of leasehold improvements and right-of-use assets and is reflected in Store closure and other costs, net on the consolidated statements of income. The impairment charge represents the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of each store's asset group. Accelerated depreciation on the closed stores' assets is expected to be approximately $6.0 million, of which $4.0 million was incurred during the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023 and is reflected in Depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. Severance expense was immaterial during the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023, and no further severance expense is expected to be incurred.

On March 20, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Ronald Cohn, Inc., a corporation that owned two stores located in California operating under the ‘Sprouts Farmers Market’ name pursuant to a legacy trademark license arrangement. The aggregate consideration paid in the transaction consisted of 0.6 million of the Company’s common shares valued at $18.1 million using the closing price of the Company's common stock on March 20, 2023 and cash consideration of $13.0 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs were immaterial and were expensed as incurred. The financial results of the acquired stores have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquired stores' results of operations were not material to the Company's consolidated results during the thirteen weeks ended April 2, 2023.

As of May 1, 2023, the initial accounting for this acquisition was incomplete pending determination of working capital adjustments and the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The net purchase price was initially allocated to the net tangible assets of ($4.9) million and a reacquired right intangible asset of $23.1 million based on their preliminary fair values on the acquisition date. The remaining unallocated net purchase price of $12.9 million was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits to the Company from the acquisition, which include the Company's ability to fully control the Sprouts Farmers Market brand by termination of the legacy trademark license agreement and allowing further expansion opportunities in Southern California. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The provisional fair value estimates are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained within the measurement period, which may not exceed twelve months from the acquisition date.
