Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to relevant GAAP measures, we also provide non-GAAP measures including adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and net merchandise sales - constant currency because management believes these metrics are useful to investors and analysts by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. These measures are customary for our industry and commonly used by competitors. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be reviewed in isolation or considered as an alternative to any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per diluted share, adjusted EBITDA and net merchandise sales - constant currency may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies in our industry or across different industries. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the Appendix to this presentation.

PriceSmart exists to improve the lives and businesses of our Members, our employees and our communities through the responsible delivery of the best

quality goods and services at the lowest possible prices. Our mission is to serve as a model company, which operates profitably and provides a good

return to our investors, by providing Members in emerging and developing markets with exciting, high-quality merchandise sourced from around the world and valuable services at compelling prices in safe U.S. style clubs and through PriceSmart.com.
