Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this presentation are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact (including, but not limited to, statements to the effect that Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (the "Company") or its management "anticipates," "plans," "estimates," "expects," or "believes," or the negative of these terms and other similar expressions) should be considered forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Company's outlook, growth, opportunities and long-term strategy. These statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations as of the date of this presentation. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the Company's ability to execute on its long-term strategy; the Company's ability to successfully compete in its competitive industry; the Company's ability to successfully open new stores; the Company's ability to manage its growth; the Company's ability to maintain or improve its operating margins; the Company's ability to identify and react to trends in consumer preferences; product supply disruptions; equipment supply disruptions; general economic conditions that impact consumer spending or result in competitive responses; accounting standard changes; the current inflationary environment and future potential inflationary and/or deflationary trends; and other factors as set forth from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, without limitation, the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. The Company intends these forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time of this presentation and does not undertake to update or revise them as more information becomes available, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer to adjusted gross profit, adjusted gross margin, EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted EBIT Margin, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, each of which is a Non-GAAP Financial Measure. These measures are not prepared in accordance with, and are not intended as alternatives to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. The Company's management believes that such measures provide useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses these measures for reviewing the Company's financial results, and certain of these measures may be used as components of incentive compensation.

The Company defines adjusted gross profit as gross profit, excluding the impact of special items. Adjusted gross margin reflects adjusted gross profit divided by net sales for the applicable period. EBIT is defined as net income before interest expense and provision for income tax, and adjusted EBIT as EBIT, excluding the impact of special items. Adjusted EBIT Margin reflects adjusted EBIT, divided by net sales for the applicable period. The Company defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share excluding the impact of special items.

Non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meanings prescribed by GAAP. Use of these terms may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. Because of their limitations, non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to use to reinvest in the growth of the Company's business, or as a measure of cash that will be available to meet the Company's obligations. Each non-GAAP measure has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP.

To the extent forward looking non-GAAP financial measures are provided herein, they are not reconciled to comparable forward-looking GAAP measures due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation.

Unless otherwise indicated, information included in this presentation is as of our 2023 fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
