1. Basis of Presentation

Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., a Delaware corporation, through its subsidiaries, operates as a healthy grocery store that offers fresh, natural and organic food that includes fresh produce, bulk foods, vitamins and supplements, grocery, meat and seafood, bakery, dairy, frozen foods, body care and natural household items catering to consumers’ growing interest in eating and living healthier. The “Company” is used to refer collectively to Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and 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 December 28, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed on February 26, 2015.

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

The Company reports its results of operations on a 52- or 53-week fiscal calendar ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2015 is a 53-week year, and Fiscal year 2014 was a 52-week year. The Company reports its results of operations on a 13-week quarter, except for 53-week fiscal years. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 will include 14 weeks.

For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 and the comparative period, the Company has offset the changes in balance sheet line items related to excess tax benefit with the excess tax benefit within the cash flows from operating activities.

The Company has one reportable and one operating segment.

The Company’s business is subject to modest seasonality. Average weekly sales fluctuate throughout the year and are typically highest in the first half of the fiscal year. Produce, which contributed 25% of the Company’s net sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, is generally more available in the first six months of the fiscal year due to the timing of peak growing seasons.

All dollar amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU No. 2014-08 amends previous guidance related to the criteria for reporting a disposal as a discontinued operation by elevating the threshold for qualification for discontinued operations treatment to a disposal that represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on an organization’s operations or financial results. This guidance also requires expanded disclosures for transactions that qualify as a discontinued operation and requires disclosure of individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale but do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This guidance is effective prospectively for all disposals or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

(UNAUDITED) — continued

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, and estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price attributable to each separate performance obligation. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2017. The FASB recently announced a proposal to defer the effective date of this guidance by one year, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU No. 2014-15 requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.”
ASU 2015-03 requires an entity to present debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The new guidance will be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance.

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.

Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets, long-lived assets and in the valuation of store closure and exit costs.

The determination of fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets for purposes of the Company’s goodwill impairment evaluation as described above was based upon a step zero assessment. Closed facility reserves are recorded at net present value to approximate fair value which is classified as Level 3 in the hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the closed facility reserve is calculated based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and other charges using a weighted average cost of capital, reduced by estimated sublease rentals. The weighted average cost of capital was estimated using information from comparable companies and management’s judgment related to the risk associated with the operations of the stores.

(UNAUDITED) — continued

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued salaries and benefits and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Based on open market transactions comparable to the Term Loan (as defined in Note 6, “Long-Term Debt”), the fair value of the long-term debt, including current maturities, approximates carrying value as of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014. The Company’s estimates of the fair value of long-term debt (including current maturities) were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

4. Accounts Receivable

A summary of accounts receivable is as follows:

The Company had recorded allowances for certain vendor receivables of $0.3 million at both March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014.

Other receivables at both March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, include amounts receivable for payroll taxes and exercise prices for options exercised but for which the cash was not received by the balance sheet date.

5. Accrued Salaries and Benefits

A summary of accrued salaries and benefits is as follows:

6. Long-Term Debt

A summary of long-term debt is as follows:

Current portion of long-term debt is presented net of issue discount of $1.0 million and $1.0 million as of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively. The non-current portion of long-term debt is presented net of issue discount of $3.6 million and $3.9 million as of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively.

On April 17, 2015, the Company refinanced its Senior Secured Credit Facilities. See Note 14 “Subsequent Events” for additional details.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

April 2013 Refinancing

On April 23, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary, Sprouts Farmers Markets Holdings, LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”), as borrower, refinanced (the “April 2013 Refinancing”) its former revolving credit facility and former term loan, by entering into a new credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a $700.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $60.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

The terms of the Credit Facility allow the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the amount of the term loans and revolving commitments thereunder by an aggregate incremental amount of up to $160.0 million, plus an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to such increase, (i) in the case of incremental loans that rank pari passu with the initial term loans, the net first lien leverage ratio does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00, and (ii) in the case of incremental loans that rank junior to the initial Term Loan, the total leverage ratio does not exceed 5.25 to 1.00.

Guarantees

Obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and all of its current and future wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by (i) a pledge by Sprouts of its equity interests in Intermediate Holdings and (ii) first-priority liens on substantially all assets of Intermediate Holdings and the subsidiary guarantors, in each case, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions.

Interest and Applicable Margin

All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR (with a 1.00% floor with respect to Eurodollar borrowings under the Term Loan), adjusted for statutory reserves, plus a margin equal to 3.00%, or an alternate base rate, plus a margin equal to 2.00%, as set forth in the Credit Facility. These interest margins were reduced to their current levels (from 3.50% and 2.50%, respectively) effective August 2, 2013, as a result of (i) the consummation of the Company’s IPO, and (ii) the Company achieving a reduction in the net first lien leverage ratio to less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00.

SPROUTS FARMERS MARKET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(UNAUDITED) — continued

Payments and Prepayments

The Term Loan will mature in April 2020 and will amortize at a rate per annum, in four equal quarterly installments, in an aggregate amount equal to 1.00% of the original principal balance, with the balance due on the maturity date.

Subject to exceptions set forth therein, the Credit Facility requires mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to (i) 50% (reduced to 25% if net first lien leverage is less than 3.00 to 1.00 but greater than 2.50 to 1.00 and 0% if net first lien leverage is less than 2.50 to 1.00) of excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Facility) at the end of each fiscal year, (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain non-ordinary course asset sales by the Company or any subsidiary guarantor (subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment provisions) and (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of its subsidiaries not permitted under the Credit Facility.

Voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the Credit Facility are permitted at any time, in agreed-upon minimum principal amounts. Prepayments will not be subject to premium or penalty (except LIBOR breakage costs, if applicable).

Revolving Credit Facility

The Credit Facility includes a $60.0 million Revolving Credit Facility which matures in April 2018. The Revolving Credit Facility includes letter of credit and $5.0 million swingline loan subfacilities. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the borrowing capacity on the total facility. There are no amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility at March 29, 2015. Letters of credit totaling $2.5 million have been issued as of March 29, 2015 primarily to support the Company’s insurance programs. Amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility at March 29, 2015 totaled $57.5 million.

Interest terms on the Revolving Credit Facility are the same as the Term Loan.

The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $1.1 million related to the Revolving Credit Facility, which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is obligated to pay a commitment fee on the available unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility commitments equal to 0.50% per annum.

Covenants

The Credit Facility contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on the Company’s ability to:

Each of these covenants is subject to customary or agreed-upon exceptions, baskets and thresholds.

In addition, if the Company has any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the borrower to maintain a ratio of Revolving Facility Credit exposure to consolidated trailing 12-month EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) of no more than 0.75 to 1.00 as of the end of each such fiscal quarter.

SPROUTS FARMERS MARKET, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED) — continued

The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Facility as of March 29, 2015.

7. Closed Facility Reserves

The following is a summary of closed facility reserve activity during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 and fiscal year ended December 28, 2014:

Additions made during 2015 include remaining lease payments for the corporate support office relocation. Additions made during 2014 relate to the closure and relocation of one store and to the closure and relocation of the Texas warehouse, and usage during 2014 relates to lease payments made during the period for closed stores.

8. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 was 38.3% and 39.0%, respectively. The primary reasons for the decrease in the effective tax rate were an increase in tax credits and enhanced charitable food contribution deductions.

Excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises are credited to stockholders’ equity. The Company uses the tax law ordering approach of intraperiod allocation to allocate the benefit of windfall tax benefits based on provisions in the tax law that identify the sequence in which those amounts are utilized for tax purposes. The income tax benefits resulting from stock awards that were credited to stockholders’ equity were $12.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, which included $0.1 million of income tax benefits related to stock award activity prior to 2015. The income tax benefits resulting from stock awards that were credited to stockholders’ equity were $14.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. The excess tax benefits are not credited to stockholders’ equity until the deduction reduces income taxes payable. An additional $7.5 million of excess tax benefits were incurred during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014, which were available to be recognized as a benefit through additional paid-in capital once the deduction reduced income taxes payable.

9. Related-Party Transactions

Two stockholders, including a member of the Company’s board of directors, are investors in a company that is a supplier of coffee to the Company. During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, purchases from this company were $2.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively. At both March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the Company had recorded accounts payable due to this vendor of $0.7 million.

One of our senior executives purchased stock in a technology supplier to the Company in January 2015. During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, purchases from this company were $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. At both March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the Company had no receivable recorded from this vendor. At both March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the Company had recorded accounts payable due to this vendor of $0.2 million and $0.1 million respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

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. Self-insurance liabilities require significant judgment and actual claim settlements and associated expenses may differ from the Company’s current provisions for loss.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Secondary Offering

On March 10, 2015, certain of the Company’s stockholders completed a secondary public offering of 15,847,800 shares of common stock (the “March Secondary Offering”). The Company did not sell any shares or receive any proceeds in the March Secondary Offering.

12. Net Income Per Share

The computation of 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, assumed vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and assumed vesting of performance stock awards (“PSAs”).

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per share calculations is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 the computation of diluted net income per share does not include 0.8 million options as those options would have been antidilutive or were unvested performance-based options and 0.1 million for PSAs. For the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014, the computation of diluted net income per share does not include 0.7 million options, as those options would have been antidilutive or were unvested performance-based options.

13. Equity-Based Compensation

2013 Incentive Plan

The Company’s board of directors adopted, and its equity holders approved, the Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”). The 2013 Incentive Plan became effective July 31, 2013 in connection with the Company’s IPO and replaced the Sprouts Farmers Markets, LLC Option Plan (the “2011 Option Plan”) (except with respect to outstanding options to acquire shares under the 2011 Option Plan). The 2013 Incentive Plan and 2011 Option Plan are collectively referred to as the “Option Plans”. The 2013 Incentive Plan serves as the umbrella plan for the Company’s stock-based and cash-based incentive compensation programs for its directors, officers and other team members.

On March 11, 2015, under the 2013 Incentive Plan, the Company granted to certain officers and team members time-based options to purchase an aggregate of 277,833 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $34.33 per share, with a grant date fair value of $9.42 per share. The Company also granted an aggregate of 87,394 RSUs with a grant date fair value of $34.33, and 71,753 PSAs (as described below) with a grant date fair value of $34.33.

The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued to team members and directors under the 2013 Incentive Plan may not exceed 10,089,072. Shares subject to awards granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan which are subsequently forfeited, expire unexercised or are otherwise not issued will not be treated as having been issued for purposes of the share limitation.

2011 Option Plan

In May 2011, the Company adopted the 2011 Option Plan to provide team members or directors of the Company with options to acquire shares of the Company. The Company had authorized 12,100,000 shares for issuance under the 2011 Option Plan. Options may no longer be issued under the 2011 Option Plan.

Options

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of options at grant date. Options vest in accordance with the terms set forth in the grant letter and vary depending on if they are time-based or performance-based.

Time-based options generally vest ratably over a period of 12 quarters (three years) and performance-based options vest over a period of three years based on financial performance targets set for each year.

RSUs

The fair value of RSUs is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. RSUs generally vest annually over a period of two or three years from the grant date.

PSAs

Performance stock awards are restricted shares that are subject to the Company achieving certain earnings per share performance targets to be earned. The fair value of performance stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The performance conditions must be met at the end of the next fiscal year, or the performance stock awards are cancelled. If the performance conditions are met, the performance stock awards vest 50 percent at each of the second and third anniversary of the grant date.

Equity-based Compensation Expense

Equity-based compensation expense was reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as follows:

As of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, there were approximately 6.0 million and 6.9 million options outstanding of which, 1.0 million and 0.9 million were unvested options, respectively.

As of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, there were approximately 0.1 million and 0.1 million unvested RSUs outstanding, respectively.

As of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, there were approximately 0.1 million and no unvested performance stock awards outstanding, respectively.

As of March 29, 2015, total unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding options was $5.3 million which, if the service and performance conditions are fully met, is expected to be recognized over the next 1.6 years on a weighted-average basis.

As of March 29, 2015, total unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding RSUs was $5.1 million which, if the service conditions are fully met, is expected to be recognized over the next 2.1 years on a weighted-average basis.

As of March 29, 2015, total unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding PSAs was $2.4 million which, if the performance conditions are fully met, is expected to be recognized over the next 2.5 years on a weighted-average basis.

During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, the Company received $3.4 million in cash proceeds from the exercise of options.

During the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014, the Company received $0.6 million in cash proceeds from the exercise of options.

On March 28, 2014, team members exercised a total of 1.6 million options and sold shares acquired in that exercise in a secondary offering of the Company’s common stock. Proceeds from such exercises, totaling $3.4 million were received subsequent to March 30, 2014, when the offering closed on April 2, 2014.

14. Subsequent Events

On April 17, 2015 the Company completed a new five-year $450.0 million revolving credit facility to replace its existing Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility. The Company utilized the initial drawing of $260.0 million under the new credit facility to pay off its existing $257.8 million term loan and transaction costs associated with the refinancing. Upon completion of the refinancing, the Company has $260.0 million of total debt and $2.5 million of letters of credit outstanding under the new facility, which will mature on April 17, 2020.

The revolver has an initial drawn pricing of LIBOR plus 1.75%, as compared with LIBOR (with a floor of 1.00%) plus 3.00% under the previous term loan.

The Company will write-off $5.5 million of deferred financing costs and original issue discount in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 related to the termination of the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility.

With 200 stores in twelve states as of March 29, 2015, we are one of the largest specialty retailers of natural and organic food in the United States.

The cornerstones of our business are fresh, natural and organic products at compelling prices (which we refer to as “Healthy Living for Less”), an attractive and differentiated shopping experience, and knowledgeable team members who we believe provide best-in-class customer service and product education.

Healthy Living for Less. We offer high-quality, fresh, natural and organic products at attractive prices in every department. Consistent with our farmers market heritage, our offering begins with fresh produce, which we source, warehouse and distribute in-house and sell at prices we believe to be significantly below those of other food retailers. In addition, our scale, operating structure and deep industry relationships position us to consistently deliver “Healthy Living for Less” throughout the store. Based on our experience, we believe we attract a broad customer base, including conventional supermarket customers, and appeal to a much wider demographic than other specialty retailers of natural and organic food. We believe that over time, our compelling prices and product offering convert many “trial” customers into loyal “lifestyle” customers who shop Sprouts with greater frequency and across an increasing number of departments.

Attractive, Differentiated Shopping Experience. In a convenient, small-box format (average store size of 28,000 to 30,000 sq. ft.), our stores have a farmers market feel, with a bright open-air atmosphere to create a comfortable and engaging in-store experience. We strive to be our customers’ everyday healthy grocery store. We feature fresh produce and bulk foods at the center of the store surrounded by a complete grocery offering, including vitamins and supplements, grocery, meat and seafood, bakery, dairy, frozen foods, beer and wine, body care and natural household items. Consistent with our fresh, natural and organic offering, we choose not to carry most of the traditional, national branded consumer packaged goods generally found at conventional grocery retailers (e.g., Doritos, Tide and Lucky Charms). Instead, we offer high-quality, healthier alternatives that emphasize our focus on fresh, natural and organic products at great values.

Customer Service and Education. We are dedicated to our mission of “Healthy Living for Less,” and we attract team members who share our passion for educating and serving our customers with the goal of making healthy eating easier and more accessible. We believe our well-trained and engaged team members help our customers increasingly understand that they can purchase a wide selection of high-quality, healthy, and great tasting food for themselves and their families at attractive prices by shopping at Sprouts.

Outlook

We are pursuing a number of strategies designed to continue our growth, including expansion of our store base, driving comparable store sales growth, enhancing our operating margins and growing the Sprouts brand. We intend to continue expanding our store base by pursuing new store openings in our existing markets, expanding into adjacent markets and penetrating new markets. We opened 24 stores and relocated one store during 2014. We expect to continue to expand our store base with 27 store openings planned in fiscal 2015, of which 15 have opened as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Although we plan to expand our store base primarily through new store openings, we may grow through strategic acquisitions if we identify suitable targets and are able to negotiate acceptable terms and conditions for acquisition. We intend to achieve 14% annual new store growth for at least the next five years.

We also believe we can continue to improve our comparable store sales growth by enhancing our core value proposition and distinctive customer-oriented shopping experience, as well as through expanding and refining our fresh, natural and organic product offerings, our targeted and personalized marketing efforts and our in-store education. We believe our operating margins will continue to benefit from scale efficiencies, continued cost discipline and enhancements to our merchandise offerings. We are committed to growing the Sprouts brand by supporting our stores, product offerings and corporate partnerships, including the expansion of innovative marketing and promotional strategies through print, digital and social media platforms, all of which promote our mission of “Healthy Living for Less.”

Our History

In 2002, we opened the first Sprouts Farmers Market store in Chandler, Arizona. In 2010, we had 54 stores and reached over $620 million in net sales and approximately 3,700 team members. In April 2011, we partnered with investment funds affiliated with, and co-investment vehicles managed by, Apollo Management VI, L.P., and added 43 stores by merging with Henry’s Holdings, LLC and its Sun Harvest-brand stores. Our merger with Henry’s Holdings, LLC and new store openings brought us to 103 total stores located in Arizona, California, Colorado and Texas as of the end of 2011. In May 2012, we added another 37 stores through our acquisition of Sunflower Farmers Markets, Inc. and extended our footprint into New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma and Utah. On August 1, 2013, our common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and on August 6, 2013, we closed our initial public offering (referred to as our “IPO”). Since the IPO, we have continued to expand, adding 43 stores through the date of this filing and extending to Kansas, Georgia, Missouri and Alabama.

Components of Operating Results

We report our results of operations on a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday closest to December 31, with each fiscal quarter generally divided into three periods consisting of two four-week periods and one five-week period. The first quarters of fiscal 2015 and 2014 were thirteen-week periods ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, respectively.

Net Sales

We recognize sales revenue at the point of sale, with discounts provided to customers reflected as a reduction in sales revenue. Proceeds from sales of gift cards are recorded as a liability at the time of sale, and recognized as sales when they are redeemed by the customer. We do not include sales taxes in net sales.

We monitor our comparable store sales growth to evaluate and identify trends in our sales performance. Our practice is to include sales from a store in comparable store sales beginning on the first day of the 61st week following the store’s opening and to exclude sales from a closed store from comparable store sales beginning on the day of closure. We include sales from an acquired store in comparable store sales on the later of (i) the day of acquisition or (ii) the first day of the 61st week following the store’s opening. We also include sales from relocated stores immediately after relocation. These practices may differ from the methods that other retailers use to calculate similar measures.

16

Net sales are affected by store openings and closings and comparable store sales growth. Factors that influence comparable store sales growth and other sales trends include:

Cost of sales, buying and occupancy and gross profit

Cost of sales includes the cost of inventory sold during the period, including direct costs of purchased merchandise (net of discounts and allowances), distribution and supply chain costs, buying costs and supplies. Merchandise incentives received from vendors are reflected in the carrying value of inventory when earned or as progress is made toward earning the rebate or allowance, and are reflected as a component of cost of sales as the inventory is sold. Inflation and deflation in the prices of food and other products we sell may affect our gross profit and gross margin. The short-term impact of inflation and deflation is largely dependent on whether or not we pass the effects through to our customers, which will depend upon competitive market conditions.

Occupancy costs include store rental, property taxes, utilities, common area maintenance, amortization of favorable and unfavorable leasehold interests and property insurance. Occupancy costs do not include building depreciation, which is classified as a direct store expense.

Our cost of sales, buying and occupancy and gross profit are correlated to sales volumes. As sales increase, gross margin is affected by the relative mix of products sold, pricing strategies, inventory shrinkage and improved leverage of fixed costs of sales, buying and occupancy.

Direct store expenses

Direct store expenses consist of store-level expenses such as salaries and benefits, related equity-based compensation, supplies, depreciation and amortization for buildings, store leasehold improvements, equipment and other store specific costs. As sales increase, direct store expenses generally decline as a percentage of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits costs, equity-based compensation, advertising and corporate overhead.

We charge third-parties to place advertisements in our in-store guide and newspaper circulars. We record consideration received from vendors in connection with cooperative advertising programs as a reduction to advertising costs when the allowance represents reimbursement of a specific and identifiable cost. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Store pre-opening costs

Store pre-opening costs include rent expense during construction of new stores and costs related to new store openings, including costs associated with hiring and training personnel and other miscellaneous costs. Store pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred.

17

Store closure and exit costs

We recognize a reserve for future operating lease payments and other occupancy costs associated with facilities that are no longer being utilized in our current operations. The reserve is recorded based on the present value of the remaining non-cancelable lease payments and estimates of other occupancy costs after the cease use date less an estimate of subtenant income. If subtenant income is expected to be higher than the lease payments, no accrual is recorded. Lease payments and other occupancy costs included in the closed facility reserve are expected to be paid over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Our assumptions about subtenant income are based on our experience and knowledge of the area in which the closed property is located, guidance received from local brokers and agents and existing economic conditions. Adjustments to the closed facility reserve relate primarily to changes in actual or estimated subtenant income and changes in actual lease payments and other occupancy costs from original estimates. Adjustments are made for changes in estimates in the period in which the change becomes known, considering timing of new information regarding market, subleases or other lease updates. Changes in reserve estimates are classified as store closure and exit costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

Provision for income taxes

We must make certain estimates and judgments in determining income tax expense for financial statement purposes. The amount of taxes currently payable or refundable is accrued and deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for realizable loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in income tax rates is recognized in our financial statements in the period that includes the enactment date.

Factors Affecting Comparability of Results of Operations

Secondary Offerings

On March 10, 2015, certain of our stockholders completed a secondary public offering of 15,847,800 shares of common stock at a price of $35.30 per share (referred to as the “March 2015 Secondary Offering”).

On April 2, 2014, certain of our stockholders completed a secondary public offering of 17,250,000 shares of common stock, including 2,250,000 shares of common stock sold as a result of the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a price of $33.75 per share (referred to as the “April 2014 Secondary Offering”). Expenses related to the April 2014 Secondary Offering were incurred and recorded during the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014.

We did not sell any shares in the March 2015 or April 2014 Secondary Offerings.

Results of Operations for Thirteen Weeks Ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014

The following tables set forth our unaudited results of operations and other operating data for the periods presented. The period-to-period comparison of financial results is not necessarily indicative of financial results to be achieved in future periods. All dollar amounts are in thousands, unless otherwise noted.

Comparison of Thirteen Weeks Ended March 29, 2015 to Thirteen Weeks Ended

March 30, 2014

Net sales

Net sales increased during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 as compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014, primarily as a result of (i) new store openings after March 30, 2014 and (ii) sales growth at stores operated prior to March 30, 2014. New store openings after March 30, 2014 contributed $97.8 million, or 72%, of the increase in net sales during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015. Additionally, $37.1 million, or 28%, of the increase came from comparable store sales growth and new store openings during fiscal 2014 not yet reflected in comparable store sales.

19

Cost of sales, buying and occupancy and gross profit

Cost of sales, buying and occupancy increased during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 compared to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014, primarily due to the increase in sales from new store openings and comparable store sales growth, as discussed above. Gross profit increased $33.9 million as a result of increased sales volume. The gross margin decrease was primarily driven by produce tightness due to adverse weather conditions and West coast port strikes that limited product availability compared to a very strong produce season in the prior year, the timing of store openings resulting in a lower blended gross margin, and impact of continued price investments in certain categories.

Direct store expenses

Direct store expenses increased $25.0 million, primarily due to $20.7 million of direct store expenses related to stores opened since March 30, 2014 and a $4.3 million increase in direct store expenses associated with stores operated prior to the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. Direct store expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 10 basis points primarily due to lower losses on disposal of assets. Additionally, leverage in labor and store operating costs at pre-2014 vintage stores was offset by higher labor costs at new stores and higher investments in employee training costs.

20

Selling, general and administrative expenses

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses included $1.7 million for advertising expense, $1.4 million for corporate payroll to support growth and bring in outsourced functions and $0.8 million for regional administration expense due to additional store count and growth into new regions; these increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in secondary offering expenses in current year compared to prior year and a $0.7 million decrease in bonus accrual primarily due to actual payments lower than expected. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percent of net sales due to lower secondary offering expenses and lower bonus expense partially offset by higher advertising expense for new stores.

Store pre-opening costs

Store pre-opening costs were $2.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 and $0.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. Store pre-opening costs in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 included $2.2 million related to opening 10 stores during that period and $0.6 million associated with stores opening the next quarter. Store pre-opening costs in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 included $0.8 million related to opening four stores and relocating one store during that period and $0.1 million associated with stores opening during the next quarter.

Store closure and exit costs

Store closure and exit costs for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 includes $1.1 million for the relocation of our support office. Store closure and exit costs for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014 included $0.4 million for relocation of one store.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased to $5.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 from $6.5 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. The decrease in interest expense is due to the lower principal balance on our Term Loan.

Income tax provision

Income tax provision increased to $23.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 from $21.6 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014, primarily related to an increase in income before income taxes. Our effective income tax rate decreased to 38.3% in the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 from 39.0% in the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. The primary reasons for the decrease in the effective tax rate were an increase in tax credits and enhanced charitable food contribution deductions.

21

Net income

Net income growth was driven by sales growth and resulting operating leverage, strong performance of new stores opened, reduced interest expense and lower secondary offering expenses slightly offset by increases in advertising and corporate and regional expense to support our growth into new markets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth the major sources and uses of cash for each of the periods set forth below, as well as our cash and cash equivalents at the end of each period:

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily through cash generated from our operations, sales of our equity and borrowings under our current and former credit facilities. Our primary uses of cash are for purchases of inventory, operating expenses, capital expenditures primarily for opening new stores, remodel and maintenance capital expenditures, and debt service. We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash anticipated to be generated by operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next 12 months. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including new store openings, remodel and maintenance capital expenditures at existing stores, store initiatives and other corporate capital expenditures and activities. Our cash and cash equivalents position benefits from the fact that we generally collect cash from sales to customers the same day or, in the case of credit or debit card transactions, within days from the related sale. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $8.2 million to $68.1 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 compared to $76.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. The thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 includes the impact of stores opened since March 30, 2014. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in working capital.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $33.8 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 compared to $18.2 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. The increase in cash used for investing activities is primarily related to timing of payments on capital expenditures for new store openings, sales enhancing initiatives, capital expenditures for our new support office, store remodels and maintenance capital expenditures.

22

Capital expenditures consist primarily of investments in new stores, including leasehold improvements and store equipment, annual maintenance capital expenditures to maintain the appearance of our stores, sales enhancing initiatives and other corporate investments.

We expect capital expenditures of approximately $110 million in fiscal 2015, net of estimated landlord tenant improvement allowances, primarily to fund investments in new stores, remodels, maintenance capital expenditures and corporate capital expenditures. We expect to fund our capital expenditures with cash on hand, cash generated from operating activities and, if required, borrowings under our Credit Facility.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $12.9 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $13.3 million for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2014. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities of $0.4 million is related to a $2.6 million decrease of excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options, a $0.6 million decrease in cash from landlord related to financing lease obligation and a $0.1 million increase in payments on financing lease obligations. These decreases in cash used by financing activities were offset by a $2.9 million increase in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Long-Term Debt and Credit Facilities

See Note 6 “Long-Term Debt” of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for a description of the April 2013 Refinancing and our Credit Facility.

On April 17, 2015, we refinanced our Credit Facility. See Note 14 “Subsequent Events” of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information about the refinancing.

Contractual Obligations

We are committed under certain capital leases for the rental of certain buildings and land and certain operating leases for rental of facilities and equipment. These leases expire or become subject to renewal clauses at various dates through 2032.

The following table summarizes our lease obligations as of March 29, 2015, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods:

We have other contractual commitments and debt, which were presented under Contractual Obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014, and for which there have not been material changes since that filing through March 29, 2015. As discussed in Note 14 to the unaudited financial statements we entered into a new revolving credit facility with an initial balance of $260.0 million which will mature in April 2020.

23

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any off-balance sheet financing activities, nor do we have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation and deflation in the prices of food and other products we sell may affect our sales, gross profit and gross margin. The short-term impact of inflation and deflation is largely dependent on whether or not the effects are passed through to our customers, which is subject to competitive market conditions.

Food inflation and deflation is affected by a variety of factors and our determination of whether to pass on the effects of inflation or deflation to our customers is made in conjunction with our overall pricing and marketing strategies. Although we may experience periodic effects on sales, gross profit and gross margins as a result of changing prices, we do not expect the effect of inflation or deflation to have a material impact on our ability to execute our long-term business strategy.

Seasonality

Our business is subject to modest seasonality. Our average weekly sales fluctuate throughout the year and are typically highest in the first half of the fiscal year. Produce, which contributed approximately 25% of our net sales for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015, is generally more available in the first six months of our fiscal year due to the timing of peak growing seasons.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These principles require us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, cash flow and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates include, but are not limited to, those related to inventory, lease assumptions, self-insurance reserves, sublease assumptions for closed facilities, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, fair values of equity-based awards and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and our actual results, our future financial statements will be affected.

There have been no substantial changes to these estimates or the policies related to them during the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2015. For a full discussion of these estimates and policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 “Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” to our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We have determined that all other recently issued accounting standards will not have a material impact on our financial statements, or do not apply to our operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As described in Note 6, “Long-Term Debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements located elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have a Term Loan that bears interest at a rate based in part on LIBOR, the Federal Funds Rate, the Eurodollar Rate or the prime rate, depending

24

on our consolidated leverage ratio. Accordingly, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. Based on the $259.5 million principal outstanding under our Term Loan as of March 29, 2015, each hundred basis point change in LIBOR, once LIBOR exceeds the LIBOR floor under our loan of 1.00%, would result in a change in interest expense by $2.6 million annually.

On April 17, 2015, we refinanced our Credit Facility, which, based on rates in effect would reduce interest expense by $5.0 million annually. See Note 14 “Subsequent Events” of our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information about the refinancing.

This sensitivity analysis assumes our mix of financial instruments and all other variables will remain constant in future periods. These assumptions are made in order to facilitate the analysis and are not necessarily indicative of our future intentions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e)) designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures under the Exchange Act as of March 29, 2015, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarterly period ended March 29, 2015, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

25

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

From time to time we are a party to legal proceedings, including matters involving personnel and employment issues, product liability, personal injury, intellectual property and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, which have not resulted in any material losses to date. Although management does not expect that the outcome in these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, litigation is inherently unpredictable. Therefore, we could incur judgments or enter into settlements of claims that could materially impact our results.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties referenced below, together with all of the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. Any of those risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition, or prospects and cause the value of our common stock to decline, which could cause you to lose all or part of your investment.

There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described under “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014.
