3. Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Years

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 2021 ended on January 2, 2022 and included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2020 ended on January 3, 2021 and included 53 weeks. Fiscal year 2019 ended on December 29, 2019 and included 52 weeks. Fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019 are referred to as 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s critical accounting estimates include inventories, lease assumptions, self-insurance reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions in the United States of America. Deposits in transit include sales through the end of the period, the majority of which were paid with credit and debit cards and settle within a few days of the sales transactions. The amounts due from banks for these transactions at each reporting date were as follows:

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash relates to the Company’s defined benefit plan forfeitures and the Company’s healthcare, general liability and workers’ compensation plan benefits of approximately $1.7 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily represents billings to vendors for scan, advertising and other rebates, receivables for ecommerce sales and billings to landlords for tenant allowances. Accounts receivable also includes receivables from the Company’s insurance carrier for payments expected to be made in excess of self-insured retentions. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts when a specific account is determined to be uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories consist of merchandise purchased for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost method is used for distribution center and store perishable department inventories by assigning costs to each of these items based on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis (net of vendor discounts).

The Company’s non-perishable inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using weighted averaging, the use of which approximates the FIFO method.

Inventories are reduced for estimated losses related to shrinkage. The Company believes that all inventories are saleable and no allowances or reserves for obsolescence were recorded as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for major additions and improvements to facilities are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. Depreciation expense, which includes the amortization of assets recorded as finance leases, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. Terms of leases used in the determination of estimated useful lives may include renewal options if the exercise of the renewal option is determined to be reasonably certain.

The following table includes the estimated useful lives of certain of the Company’s asset classes:

 

Computer hardware and software

 

3 to 5 years

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

 

7 to 20 years

Leasehold improvements

 

up to 15 years

Buildings

 

40 years

 

Store development costs, which include costs associated with the selection and procurement of real estate sites, are also included in property and equipment. These costs are included in leasehold improvements and are amortized over the remaining lease term of the successful sites with which they are associated.

 

Self-Insurance Reserves

The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance programs to provide for costs associated with general liability, workers’ compensation and team member health benefits. Liabilities for self-insurance reserves are estimated based on independent actuarial estimates, which are based on historical information and assumptions about future events. The Company utilizes various techniques, including analysis of historical trends and actuarial valuation methods, to estimate the cost to settle reported claims and claims incurred but not yet reported as of the balance sheet date. The actuarial valuation methods consider loss development factors, which include the development time frame and expected claim reporting and settlement patterns, and expected loss costs, which include the expected frequency and severity of claim activity. Amounts expected to be recovered from insurance companies are included in the liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in accounts receivable.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names related to “Sprouts Farmers Market” and liquor licenses. The Company also held intangible assets with finite useful lives consisting of the “Sunflower Farmers Market” trade name. The trade name related to “Sunflower Farmers Market” met the definition of a defensive intangible asset and is fully amortized.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s impairment evaluation of goodwill consists of a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company’s qualitative assessment considered factors including changes in the competitive market, budget-to-actual performance, trends in market capitalization for the Company and its peers, turnover in key management personnel and overall changes in macroeconomic environment. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required and goodwill is not impaired. Otherwise, we compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount with an impairment loss recognized for the amount, if any, by which carrying value exceeds estimated fair value.

The impairment evaluation for the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a qualitative assessment similar to that for goodwill. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required and the asset is not impaired. Otherwise, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the asset to its carrying amount with an impairment loss recognized for the amount, if any, by which carrying value exceeds estimated fair value.

The Company has determined its business consists of a single reporting unit, healthy grocery stores. The Company has had no goodwill impairment charges for the past three fiscal years. See Note 8, “Intangible Assets” and Note 9, “Goodwill” for further discussion.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and right-of-use assets, for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. These events primarily include current period losses combined with a history of losses or a projection of continuing losses, a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or a decision to close or relocate a store. The Company groups and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment at the individual store level, which is the lowest level at which independent identifiable cash flows are available. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset group. The Company’s impairment analysis contains management assumptions about key variables including sales growth rate, gross margin, payroll and other controllable expenses.

If impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset group. The fair value of the asset group is estimated based on the discounted future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the related risk or comparable market values, if available. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $4.8 million in 2021 as part of the normal course of business primarily related to the write-down of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements. There were no impairment charges in 2020. In 2019, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $4.1 million as part of the normal course of business primarily related to the write-down of leasehold improvements. These charges are recorded as a component of Store closure and other costs, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company capitalizes certain fees and costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt. Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. For the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Former Credit Facility (as defined in Note 13, “Long-Term Debt and Finance Lease Liabilities”), deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. Upon prepayment, redemption or conversion of debt, the Company accelerates the recognition of an appropriate amount of financing costs as loss on extinguishment of debt. The current and noncurrent portions of deferred financing costs are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Leases

The Company leases all stores, distribution centers, and administrative offices. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and noncurrent portion of operating lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant, equipment, net, current portion of finance lease liabilities, and long-term debt and finance lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease payments are charged on a straight-line basis to rent expense, a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, over the lease term and finance lease payments are charged to interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense using a debt model over the lease term.

The Company’s lease assets represent a right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease assets and liabilities and the related rent expense are recognized at the lease commencement date (date on which the Company gains access to the property) based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term, net of landlord allowances expected to be received. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all current classes of leases.

Most of the Company’s lease agreements include variable payments related to pass-through costs for maintenance, taxes, and insurance. Additionally, some of the Company’s lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels. These variable payments are not included in the measurement of the lease liability or asset and are expensed as incurred.

As most of the Company’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from third-party information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The rate used is for a secured borrowing of a similar term as the lease.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to twenty years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The lease term includes the initial contractual term as well as any options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company does not currently have any material short-term leases. Additionally, the Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties, which have all been classified as operating leases. The Company recognized sublease income on a straight-line basis.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in accordance with ASC 820. This framework establishes a three-level 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 valuation of derivative instruments, impairment analysis of goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets. Impairment losses related to store-level assets are calculated using significant unobservable inputs including the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated using a risk-adjusted market based weighted-average cost of capital, comparable store sales growth assumptions, and third party property appraisal data. Therefore, these inputs are classified as a level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, 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.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company records derivatives at fair value. The designation of a derivative instrument as a hedge and its ability to meet the hedge accounting criteria determine how the Company reflects the change in fair value of the derivative instrument in its financial statements. A derivative qualifies for hedge accounting if, at inception, the derivative is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the underlying hedged cash flows, and the Company fulfills the hedge documentation standards at the time it enters into the derivative contract. The Company designates its hedge based on the exposure it is hedging. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the Company records changes in fair value in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The Company releases the derivative’s gain or loss from OCI to match the timing of the underlying hedged item’s effect on earnings.

The Company reviews the effectiveness of its hedging instruments quarterly. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value for derivatives not designated as hedges or those not qualifying for hedge accounting in current period earnings. The Company discontinues hedge accounting for any hedge that is no longer evaluated to be highly effective.

The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, and it monitors the financial stability and credit standing of its counterparties in these transactions.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures share-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes share-based compensation cost as expense over the vesting period. As share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of expense has been reduced for actual forfeitures as they occur. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value for each option grant. See Note 25, “Share-Based Compensation” for a discussion of assumptions used in the calculation of fair values. Application of alternative assumptions could produce different estimates of the fair value of share-based compensation and, consequently, the related amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The grant date fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share awards (“PSAs”), and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) is based on the closing price per share of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense for time-based awards on a straight-line basis and for performance-based awards on the graded-vesting method over the vesting period of the awards.

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied upon the transfer of goods to the customer, which occurs at the point of sale, and payment from customers is also due at the time of sale. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as a liability at the time of sale and recognized as sales when they are redeemed by the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied by the Company. The Company’s gift cards do not expire. Based on historical redemption rates, a small and relatively stable percentage of gift cards will never be redeemed, referred to as "breakage." Estimated breakage revenue is recognized over time in proportion to actual gift card redemptions and was not material in any period presented.

The nature of goods the Company transfers to customers at the point of sale are inventories, consisting of merchandise purchased for resale.

The Company does not have any material contract assets or receivables from contracts with customers, any revenue recognized in the current period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods, any contract performance obligations, or any material costs to obtain or fulfill a contract as of January 2, 2022.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the cost of inventory sold during the period, including the direct costs of purchased merchandise (net of discounts and allowances), distribution and supply chain costs, supplies and depreciation and amortization for distribution centers and supply chain related assets. The Company recognizes vendor allowances and merchandise volume related rebate allowances as a reduction of inventories during the period when earned and reflects the allowances as a component of cost of sales as the inventory is sold.

The Company’s largest supplier accounted for approximately 44%, 42% and 40% of total purchases during 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, wages and benefits costs, share-based compensation, occupancy costs (including rent, property taxes, utilities, common area maintenance and insurance), advertising costs, buying costs, pre-opening and other administrative costs.

The Company charges certain vendors to place advertisements in the Company’s in-store guide and circulars under a cooperative advertising program. The Company records rebates received from vendors in connection with cooperative advertising programs as a reduction to advertising costs when the allowance represents a reimbursement of a specific incremental and identifiable cost. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, net of rebates, was $45.9 million, $54.4 million and $57.2 million for 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

 

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense (exclusive of depreciation included in cost of sales) primarily consists of depreciation and amortization for buildings, store leasehold improvements, and equipment.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s deferred tax assets are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. Realization of the deferred tax assets is principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable income offset by deferred tax liabilities. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the judgment occurs.

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. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, and January 1, 2017, are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Company recognizes the effect of uncertain income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax expense.

Share Repurchases

The Company has elected to retire shares repurchased to date. Shares retired become part of the pool of authorized but unissued shares. The Company has elected to record purchase price of the retired shares in excess of par value directly as a reduction of retained earnings.

Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal period.

Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus, where applicable, shares that would have been outstanding related to dilutive options, PSAs, RSAs, and RSUs.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and the unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments that qualify for and have been designated as cash flow hedges, for all periods presented.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Income Taxes –Accounting for Income Taxes

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU no. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” Among other things, the amendment removes certain exceptions for periods with operating losses, and reduces the complexity surrounding franchise tax, step up in tax basis of goodwill in conjunction with a business combination, and timing of enacting changes in tax laws during interim periods. The Company adopted this standard effective January 4, 2021 on a prospective
basis. There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU no. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this update introduce a new standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Subsequent to the initial standards, the FASB has also issued several ASUs to clarify specific topics. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective December 30, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. There was no impact to opening retained earnings as of December 30, 2019 or on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Compensation – Fair Value Disclosures

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair value measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure framework – Changes to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurement.” The amendments in this update improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. The Company adopted this standard effective December 30, 2019. There was no impact on the Company’s disclosure in its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (ASC 842).” ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a financing or operating lease.

The Company adopted the standard as of December 31, 2018, the first day of fiscal year 2019. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, permits companies not to reassess prior conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient.

The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities of approximately $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2018, including recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities for certain third-party operated distribution center locations. Included in the measurement of the new lease assets and liabilities is the reclassification of balances historically recorded as deferred rent and unfavorable and favorable leasehold interests. Additionally, the Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment, which increased retained earnings by $11.4 million, net of tax. This adjustment was driven by the derecognition of approximately $114.0 million of lease obligations and $102.6 million of net assets related to leases that had been classified as financing lease obligations under the former failed-sale leaseback guidance, and are now classified as operating leases as of the transition date.

This reclassification also resulted in the recognition of rent expense beginning December 31, 2018, which was previously reported as interest expense under the former failed sale-leaseback guidance. Lastly, the adoption of this standard resulted in a change in naming convention for leases classified historically as capital leases. These leases are now referred to as finance leases. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s liquidity or cash flows.

Refer to Note 7, “Leases”, for additional information related to the Company’s leases.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued ASU no. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” and ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” respectively. The amendments in these updates provide optional expedients and exceptions for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. Generally, the guidance allows contract modifications related to reference rate reform to be considered events that do not require remeasurements or reassessments of previous accounting determinations at the modification date. These updates only apply to modifications made prior to December 31, 2022. No such modifications occurred in the year ending January 2, 2022. The Company expects to utilize this optional guidance but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during fiscal 2021 had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

March 2018 Refinancing

On March 27, 2018, the Company’s subsidiary, Sprouts Farmers Markets Holdings, LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”), as borrower, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) to amend and restate the Company’s existing senior secured credit facility, dated April 17, 2015 (the “Former Credit Facility”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with an initial aggregate commitment of $700.0 million, an increase from $450.0 million from the Former Credit Facility, which may be increased from time to time pursuant to an expansion feature set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

Concurrently with the closing of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, all commitments under the Former Credit Facility were terminated, resulting in a $0.3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt, recorded in interest expense during the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The loss was due to the write-off of a proportional amount of deferred financing costs associated with the Former Credit Facility as the result of certain banks exiting the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in connection with the refinancing. No amounts were outstanding under the Former Credit Facility as of January 2, 2022.

The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $2.1 million related to the refinancing which combined with the remaining $0.7 million debt issuance costs for the Former Credit Facility, are being amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the five-year term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for a letter of credit subfacility and a $15.0 million swingline facility. Letters of credit issued under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement reduce its borrowing capacity. Letters of credit totaling $28.0 million have been issued as of January 2, 2022, primarily to support the Company’s insurance programs.

On March 6, 2019, Intermediate Holdings entered into an amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement intended to align the treatment of certain lease accounting terms with the Company’s adoption of ASC 842. This amendment had no impact on borrowing capacity, interest rate, or maturity.

Guarantees

Obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and all of its current and future wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries (other than the borrower) and are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiary guarantors, including, without limitation, a pledge by the Company of its equity interest in Intermediate Holdings.

Interest and Fees

Loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement initially bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum or prime plus 0.5%. The interest rate margins are subject to adjustment pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio, as set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay a commitment fee on the available unused amount of the commitments between 0.15% to 0.30% per annum, also pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. As of January 2, 2022, loans under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% per annum or prime plus 0.25%.

The interest rate on 100% of outstanding debt under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is fixed as of January 2, 2022, reflecting the effects of floating to fixed interest rate swaps (see Note 21, “Derivative Financial Instruments”).

As of January 2, 2022, outstanding letters of credit under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement were subject to a participation fee of 1.25% per annum and an issuance fee of 0.125% per annum.

Payments and Borrowings

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature, and the commitments thereunder will terminate on March 27, 2023, subject to extensions as set forth therein.

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

During fiscal year 2021, the Company made no additional borrowings or payments, resulting in total outstanding debt under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of $250.0 million as of January 2, 2022. During fiscal year 2020, the Company made no additional borrowings and made a total of $288.0 million of principal payments, resulting in total outstanding debt under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of $250.0 million as of January 3, 2021.

Covenants

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

incur additional indebtedness;
grant additional liens;
enter into sale-leaseback transactions;
make loans or investments;
merge, consolidate or enter into acquisitions;
pay dividends or distributions;
enter into transactions with affiliates;
enter into new lines of business;
modify the terms of debt or other material agreements; and
change its fiscal year.

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

In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires that the Company and its subsidiaries maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio not to exceed 3.25 to 1.00 and minimum interest coverage ratio not to be less than 1.75 to 1.00. Each of these covenants is tested on the last day of each fiscal quarter, starting with the fiscal quarter ended April 1, 2018.

The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as of January 2, 2022.

15. Self-Insurance Programs

The Company is self-insured for costs related to workers’ compensation, general liability and employee health benefits up to certain stop-loss limits. The Company establishes reserves for the ultimate obligation of reported and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) claims. IBNR claims are estimated using various techniques, including analysis of historical trends and actuarial valuation methods.

The Company purchases coverage from third-party insurers for exposures in excess of certain stop-loss limits and recorded receivables of $1.6 million and a $1.0 million from its insurance carriers for payments expected to be made in excess of self-insured retentions at January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively. The Company recorded amounts for general liability, workers' compensation and team member health benefit liabilities of $50.5 million and $48.5 million at January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, respectively. See Note 11, “Accrued Liabilities” for current amounts recorded for general liability, workers’ compensation and team member health benefit liabilities.

The effective income tax rate increased to 24.3% in 2021 from 23.7% in 2020 primarily due to benefits recognized from amended returns in 2020, partially offset by increased charitable contribution deductions in 2021. The effective income tax rate was 23.7% in 2020 and 2019. The effective income tax rate in 2020 was primarily affected by a decrease in federal tax credits and prior year release of uncertain tax positions, partially offset by an increase in charitable contribution deductions and the benefit recognized from amended returns.

Excess tax benefits or detriments associated with share-based payment awards are recognized as income tax benefits or expense in the income statement. The tax effects of exercised or vested awards are treated as discrete items in the reporting period in which they occur. The income tax benefit resulting from share-based awards was $0.2 million for 2021 and is reflected as a reduction to the 2021 income tax provision. The income tax detriment resulting from share-based awards were $0.5 million and $1.6 million for 2020 and 2019, respectively, and are reflected as increases to the 2020 and 2019 income tax provisions.

A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that these items will either expire before the Company is able to realize their benefits, or that the realization of future deductions is uncertain.

Management performs an assessment over future taxable income to analyze whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company has evaluated all available positive and negative evidence and believes it is probable that the deferred tax assets will be realized and has not recorded a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021.

The Company applies the authoritative accounting guidance under ASC 740 for the recognition, measurement, classification and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The Company had unrecognized tax benefits (tax effected) of $1.8 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021. These would impact the effective tax rate if recognized.

The Company’s policy is to recognize accrued interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

The Company does not anticipate a decrease in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

The Company files income tax returns with federal and state tax authorities within the United States. The general statute of limitations for income tax examinations remains open for federal tax returns for tax years 2016 through 2020 and state tax returns for the tax years 2017 through 2020. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, and January 1, 2017, are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Commitments and Contingencies

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Real estate obligations, which include legally binding minimum lease payments for leases executed but not yet commenced, were $451.5 million as of January 2, 2022.

In addition to its lease obligations, the Company maintains certain purchase commitments with various vendors to ensure its operational needs are fulfilled. As of January 2, 2022, total future purchase commitments under noncancelable service and supply contracts were $14.3 million.

Commitments related to the Company’s business operations cover varying periods of time and are not individually significant. These commitments are expected to be fulfilled with no adverse consequences to the Company’s operations or financial conditions.

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 and litigation matters. Self-insurance liabilities require significant judgments and actual claim settlements and associated expenses may differ from the Company’s current provisions for loss. See Note 15, “Self-Insurance Programs” for more information.

Securities Action

On March 4, 2016, a complaint was filed in the Superior Court for the State of Arizona against the Company and certain of its directors and officers on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of shares of the Company’s common stock in its underwritten secondary public offering which closed on March 10, 2015 (the “March 2015 Offering”). The complaint purported to state claims under Sections 11, 12 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, based on an alleged failure by the Company to disclose adequate information about produce price deflation in the March 2015 Offering documents. The complaint sought damages on behalf of the purported class in an unspecified amount, rescission, and an award of reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees. On August 4, 2018, the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle these claims. The parties’ settlement agreement was approved by the court on May 31, 2019 and the complaint was subsequently dismissed. The settlement was funded from the Company’s directors and officers liability insurance policy and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

“Phishing” Scam Actions

In April 2016, four complaints were filed, two in the federal courts of California, one in the Superior Court of California and one in the federal court in the District of Colorado, each on behalf of a purported class of the Company’s current and former team members whose personally identifiable information (“PII”) was inadvertently disclosed to an unauthorized third party that perpetrated an email “phishing” scam against one of the Company’s team members. The complaints alleged the Company failed to properly safeguard the PII in accordance with applicable law. The complaints sought damages on behalf of the purported class in unspecified amounts, attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. On March 1, 2019, a number of individual plaintiffs filed arbitration demands. On May 15, 2019, certain other plaintiffs filed a second amended class action complaint in the District of Arizona, alleging that certain subclasses of team members are not subject to the Company’s arbitration agreement and attempted to pursue those team members’ claims in federal court. In late August 2019, the Company reached an agreement in principle to settle the majority of these claims, which were funded in the fourth quarter of 2019. Primary funding for the settlement came from the Company’s cyber insurance policy, and the settlement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Following the group settlement, three (3) individual claimants planned to proceed with arbitration of their claims. The three individual arbitrations were settled in late June and early July 2020, with immaterial settlement amounts fully funded by the Company’s cyber insurance policy.

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 June 15, 2018, before the court tried damages, remedies and attorneys' fees, California’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (“OEHHA”) published a proposal to amend Proposition 65’s implementing regulations by adding a stand-alone sentence that reads as follows: “Exposures to listed chemicals in coffee created by and inherent in the processes of roasting coffee beans or brewing coffee do not pose a significant risk of cancer.” The proposed regulation has been finalized with an effective date of October 1, 2019. The defendants have amended their answers to assert the regulation as an affirmative defense. On August 25, 2020, the court granted the defense motion for summary judgment on the affirmative defense, 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. The case is currently being briefed, with a decision expected in 2022. At this
stage of the proceedings, 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 February 20, 2018, the Company’s board of directors authorized a $350 million common stock share repurchase program, replacing the previous share repurchase program which was completed in the second quarter of 2018. Upon this authorization’s December 31, 2019 expiration, $42.0 million remained unused. On March 3, 2021, the Company’s board of directors authorized a new $300 million share
repurchase program for its common stock.

The shares under the Company’s repurchase program may be purchased on a discretionary basis from time to time through March 3, 2024, 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. The Company has used borrowings under its Former Credit Facility and Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to assist with the repurchase programs (see Note 13, “Long-Term Debt and Finance Lease Liabilities”).

Share repurchase activity under the Company’s repurchase programs for the periods indicated was as follows (total cost in thousands):

Subsequent to January 2, 2022 and through February 24, 2022, we repurchased an additional 0.2 million shares of common stock for $5.7 million.

Preferred Stock

The Company’s board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations, or restrictions, in each case without further action by the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s board of directors can also increase or decrease the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding. The Company’s board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of the Company and might adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock. The Company has no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

Net Income Per Share

20. 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, unvested restricted stock units and unvested restricted stock awards. Performance share awards 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.

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):

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments

21. Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in December 2017 to manage its cash flow associated with variable interest rates. This forward contract has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge, and its change in fair value is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods in which the forecasted transaction occurs. The forward contract consisted of five cash flow hedges, of which one remains outstanding as of January 2, 2022. To qualify as a hedge, the Company needs to formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of the transactions that receive hedge accounting.

 

The notional dollar amount of the one outstanding swap was $250.0 million at January 2, 2022, under which the Company pays a fixed rate and receives a variable rate of interest (cash flow swap). The cash flow swap hedges the change in interest rates on debt related to fluctuations in interest rates and has a length of one year, maturing in 2022. This interest rate swap has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge and has met the requirements to assume zero ineffectiveness. The Company reviews the effectiveness of its hedging instruments on a quarterly basis.

 

The counterparties to these derivative financial instruments are major financial institutions. The Company evaluates the credit ratings of the financial institutions and believes that credit risk is at an acceptable level.

Fair Value Measurements

23. 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 valuation of derivative instruments, impairment analysis of goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets.

The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021:

The Company’s interest rate swaps are considered Level 2 in the hierarchy and are valued using an income approach. Expected future cash flows are converted to a present value amount based on market expectations of the yield curve on floating interest rates, which is readily available on public markets.

The determination of fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets for purposes of the Company’s goodwill or long-lived asset impairment evaluation as described above 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. For further details, see Note 3, “Significant Accounting Policies – Impairment of Long-lived Assets”.

Cash, cash equivalents, and 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 January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021.

2013 Incentive Plan

The Company’s board of directors adopted, and its shareholders 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 initial public offering and replaced the Sprouts Farmers Markets, LLC Option Plan. The 2013 Incentive Plan serves as the umbrella plan for the Company’s share-based and cash-based incentive compensation programs for its directors, officers and other team members. On May 1, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the material terms of the performance goals under the 2013 Incentive Plan for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The Company granted to certain officers, directors and team members the following awards during 2021 and 2020, under the 2013 Incentive Plan:

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. As of January 2, 2022, there were 2,724,308 stock awards outstanding and 3,680,083 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2013 Incentive Plan.

Stock Options

In the event of a change in control as defined in the award agreements issued under the 2013 Incentive Plan, all options and awards issued prior to 2015 become immediately vested and exercisable. For grants issued in and subsequent to 2015, the options and awards only become immediately vested in the event of a change in control (as defined in the applicable team member award agreement) if the grants are not continued or assumed by the acquirer on a substantially equivalent basis. If the options and awards continue or are assumed on a substantially equivalent basis, but employment is terminated by the Company or an acquirer without cause or by the team member for good reason (as such terms are defined in the applicable team member award agreement) within 24 months following the change in control, such options or awards will become immediately vested upon such termination. Under all other scenarios, the awards continue to vest per the schedule outlined in the applicable award agreement.

Shares issued for option exercises are newly issued shares.

The estimated weighted average fair values of options granted during 2021, 2020, and 2019 are $7.66, $4.94 and $7.63, respectively, and were calculated using the following assumptions in the table below:

Expected volatility for option grants and modifications are calculated based upon the Company’s historical volatility data over a time frame consistent with the expected life of the awards. The expected term is estimated based on the expected period that the options are anticipated to be outstanding after initial grant until exercise or expiration based upon various factors including the contractual terms of the awards and vesting schedules. The expected risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve rates in effect at the time of the grant using the term most consistent with the expected life of the award. Dividend yield was estimated at zero as the Company does not anticipate making regular future distributions to stockholders. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $0.7 million, $0.2 million, and $2.1 million for 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

RSUs

In the event of a change in control as defined in the award agreements issued under the 2013 Incentive Plan, all RSUs granted prior to 2015 become immediately vested. RSUs granted in and subsequent to 2015 only become immediately vested in the event of a change in control (as defined in the applicable team member award agreement) if the awards are not continued or assumed by the acquirer on a substantially equivalent basis. If the awards continue or are assumed on a substantially equivalent basis, but employment is terminated by the Company or an acquirer without cause or by the team member for good reason (as such terms are defined in the applicable team member award agreement) within 24 months following the change in control, such awards will become immediately vested upon such termination. Under all other scenarios, the awards continue to vest per the schedule outlined in the applicable award agreement.

Shares issued for RSU vesting are newly issued shares.

The fair value for restricted stock units is calculated based on the closing stock price on the date of grant. The total grant date fair value of RSUs vested during 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $8.8 million, $7.8 million and $7.4 million, respectively.

PSAs

PSAs granted in March 2017 were subject to the Company achieving certain earnings per share performance targets during 2017. The criteria is based on a range of performance targets in which grantees may earn between 10% and 150% of the base number of awards granted. The performance conditions with respect to 2017 earnings per share were deemed to have been met, and the PSAs vested 50% on the second anniversary of the grant date (March 2019) and the remaining 50% vested on the third anniversary of the grant date (March 2020). During the year ended January 3, 2021, 35,697 of the 2017 PSAs vested. There were no outstanding 2017 PSAs as of January 2, 2022.

PSAs granted in March 2018 were subject to the Company achieving certain earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") performance targets for the 2020 fiscal year. The criteria is based on a range of performance targets in which grantees may earn 0% to 200% of the base number of awards granted. The performance conditions with respect to 2020 EBIT were deemed to have been met, and the PSAs vested on the third anniversary of the grant date (March 2021). During the year ended January 2, 2022, 31,544 of the 2018 PSAs vested. There were no outstanding 2018 PSAs as of January 2, 2022.

PSA’s granted in 2019 are subject to the Company achieving certain EBIT performance targets for the 2021 fiscal year. The criteria is based on a range of performance targets in which grantees may earn 0% to 200% of the base number of awards granted. If performance conditions are met, the applicable number of performance shares will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date (March 2022). Based on 2021 performance, the Company has accrued at the maximum pay out level.

PSAs granted in 2020 are subject to the Company achieving certain earnings before taxes (“EBT”) performance targets for the 2022 fiscal year. The criteria is based on a range of performance targets in which grantees may earn 0% to 200% of the base number of awards granted. If performance conditions are met, the applicable number of performance shares will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date (March 2023).

PSAs granted in 2021 are subject to the Company achieving certain EBIT performance targets for the 2023 fiscal year. The criteria is based on a range of performance targets in which grantees may earn 0% to 200% of the base number of awards granted. If performance conditions are met, the applicable number of performance shares will vest on the third anniversary of the grant date (March 2024).

The PSAs only become immediately vested in the event of a change in control (as defined in the applicable team member award agreement) if the awards are not continued or assumed by the acquirer on a substantially equivalent basis. If the awards continue or are assumed on a substantially equivalent basis, but employment is terminated by the Company or an acquirer without cause or by the team member for good reason (as such terms are defined in the applicable team member award agreement) within 24 months following the change in control, such awards will become immediately vested upon such termination. Under all other scenarios, the awards continue to vest per the schedule outlined in the applicable team member award agreement.

Shares issued for PSA vesting are newly issued shares.

The fair value for performance stock awards is calculated based on the closing stock price on the date of grant.

The total grant date fair value of PSAs granted or earned during 2021 was $4.8 million. The total grant date fair value of PSAs vested during 2021 was $0.8 million. The total grant date fair value of performance shares forfeited or not earned during 2021 was $1.0 million. The total grant date fair value of the 0.4 million PSAs issued but not released as of January 2, 2022 was $8.9 million.

The total grant date fair value of PSAs granted or earned during 2020 was $3.3 million. The total grant date fair value of PSAs vested during 2020 was $0.6 million.

RSAs

The fair value of RSAs is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. RSAs either vested ratably over a seven quarter period beginning on December 31, 2016, cliff vested on June 30, 2018, or vest annually over three years.

The RSAs only become immediately vested in the event of a change in control (as defined in the applicable team member award agreement) if the awards are not continued. If the awards continue, but employment is terminated by the Company or an acquirer without cause or by the team member for good reason (as such terms are defined in the applicable team member award agreement) within 24 months following the change in control, such awards will become immediately vested upon such termination. Under all other scenarios, the awards continue to vest per the schedule outlined in the applicable team member award agreement.

Shares issued for RSA vesting are newly issued shares. The fair value for restricted stock awards is calculated based on the closing stock price on the date of grant.

There were no RSAs granted during 2021, 2020 or 2019. There were no RSAs released in 2021, and the total grant date fair value of shares of restricted stock released upon vesting during 2020 and 2019 was $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively. There were no RSAs forfeited in 2021 or 2020, and the total grant date fair value of shares of restricted stock forfeited during 2019 was $0.3 million. There were no outstanding RSAs as of January 2, 2022.

Share Award Restructuring

During the year ended December 29, 2019, certain stock options and awards were modified pursuant to a separation agreement with the Company’s former President and Chief Operating Officer. A total of 216,044 options and awards (RSUs, PSAs, and RSAs) were modified such that they were permitted to vest in March 2020, which is subsequent to the former President and Chief Operating Officer’s separation date. These options and awards expired three months after vesting, consistent with the other modified options and awards. These modifications resulted in an incremental expense, net of $1.0 million of stock compensation reversals, of $0.2 million during the year ended December 29, 2019. All other unvested options and awards were forfeited. This expense was presented in store closure and other costs, net on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Fiscal Years

Fiscal Years

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 2021 ended on January 2, 2022 and included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2020 ended on January 3, 2021 and included 53 weeks. Fiscal year 2019 ended on December 29, 2019 and included 52 weeks. Fiscal years 2021, 2020, and 2019 are referred to as 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Significant Accounting Estimates

Significant Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s critical accounting estimates include inventories, lease assumptions, self-insurance reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained at financial institutions in the United States of America. Deposits in transit include sales through the end of the period, the majority of which were paid with credit and debit cards and settle within a few days of the sales transactions. The amounts due from banks for these transactions at each reporting date were as follows:

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash relates to the Company’s defined benefit plan forfeitures and the Company’s healthcare, general liability and workers’ compensation plan benefits of approximately $1.7 million as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily represents billings to vendors for scan, advertising and other rebates, receivables for ecommerce sales and billings to landlords for tenant allowances. Accounts receivable also includes receivables from the Company’s insurance carrier for payments expected to be made in excess of self-insured retentions. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts when a specific account is determined to be uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories consist of merchandise purchased for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost method is used for distribution center and store perishable department inventories by assigning costs to each of these items based on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis (net of vendor discounts).

The Company’s non-perishable inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using weighted averaging, the use of which approximates the FIFO method.

Inventories are reduced for estimated losses related to shrinkage. The Company believes that all inventories are saleable and no allowances or reserves for obsolescence were recorded as of January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021.

Property and Equipment

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for major additions and improvements to facilities are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. Depreciation expense, which includes the amortization of assets recorded as finance leases, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. Terms of leases used in the determination of estimated useful lives may include renewal options if the exercise of the renewal option is determined to be reasonably certain.

The following table includes the estimated useful lives of certain of the Company’s asset classes:

 

Computer hardware and software

 

3 to 5 years

Furniture, fixtures and equipment

 

7 to 20 years

Leasehold improvements

 

up to 15 years

Buildings

 

40 years

 

Store development costs, which include costs associated with the selection and procurement of real estate sites, are also included in property and equipment. These costs are included in leasehold improvements and are amortized over the remaining lease term of the successful sites with which they are associated.

Self-Insurance Reserves

Self-Insurance Reserves

The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance programs to provide for costs associated with general liability, workers’ compensation and team member health benefits. Liabilities for self-insurance reserves are estimated based on independent actuarial estimates, which are based on historical information and assumptions about future events. The Company utilizes various techniques, including analysis of historical trends and actuarial valuation methods, to estimate the cost to settle reported claims and claims incurred but not yet reported as of the balance sheet date. The actuarial valuation methods consider loss development factors, which include the development time frame and expected claim reporting and settlement patterns, and expected loss costs, which include the expected frequency and severity of claim activity. Amounts expected to be recovered from insurance companies are included in the liability, with a corresponding amount recorded in accounts receivable.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the cost of acquired businesses in excess of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired. The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names related to “Sprouts Farmers Market” and liquor licenses. The Company also held intangible assets with finite useful lives consisting of the “Sunflower Farmers Market” trade name. The trade name related to “Sunflower Farmers Market” met the definition of a defensive intangible asset and is fully amortized.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company’s impairment evaluation of goodwill consists of a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company’s qualitative assessment considered factors including changes in the competitive market, budget-to-actual performance, trends in market capitalization for the Company and its peers, turnover in key management personnel and overall changes in macroeconomic environment. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required and goodwill is not impaired. Otherwise, we compare the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount with an impairment loss recognized for the amount, if any, by which carrying value exceeds estimated fair value.

The impairment evaluation for the Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a qualitative assessment similar to that for goodwill. If the qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required and the asset is not impaired. Otherwise, the Company compares the estimated fair value of the asset to its carrying amount with an impairment loss recognized for the amount, if any, by which carrying value exceeds estimated fair value.

The Company has determined its business consists of a single reporting unit, healthy grocery stores. The Company has had no goodwill impairment charges for the past three fiscal years. See Note 8, “Intangible Assets” and Note 9, “Goodwill” for further discussion.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and right-of-use assets, for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. These events primarily include current period losses combined with a history of losses or a projection of continuing losses, a significant decrease in the market value of an asset or a decision to close or relocate a store. The Company groups and evaluates long-lived assets for impairment at the individual store level, which is the lowest level at which independent identifiable cash flows are available. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset group to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset group. The Company’s impairment analysis contains management assumptions about key variables including sales growth rate, gross margin, payroll and other controllable expenses.

If impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset group. The fair value of the asset group is estimated based on the discounted future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the related risk or comparable market values, if available. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $4.8 million in 2021 as part of the normal course of business primarily related to the write-down of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements. There were no impairment charges in 2020. In 2019, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $4.1 million as part of the normal course of business primarily related to the write-down of leasehold improvements. These charges are recorded as a component of Store closure and other costs, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company capitalizes certain fees and costs incurred in connection with the issuance of debt. Deferred financing costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt using the effective interest method. For the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Former Credit Facility (as defined in Note 13, “Long-Term Debt and Finance Lease Liabilities”), deferred financing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the facility. Upon prepayment, redemption or conversion of debt, the Company accelerates the recognition of an appropriate amount of financing costs as loss on extinguishment of debt. The current and noncurrent portions of deferred financing costs are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets, respectively, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Lease

Leases

The Company leases all stores, distribution centers, and administrative offices. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and noncurrent portion of operating lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property, plant, equipment, net, current portion of finance lease liabilities, and long-term debt and finance lease liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease payments are charged on a straight-line basis to rent expense, a component of selling, general and administrative expenses, over the lease term and finance lease payments are charged to interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense using a debt model over the lease term.

The Company’s lease assets represent a right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease assets and liabilities and the related rent expense are recognized at the lease commencement date (date on which the Company gains access to the property) based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term, net of landlord allowances expected to be received. The Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all current classes of leases.

Most of the Company’s lease agreements include variable payments related to pass-through costs for maintenance, taxes, and insurance. Additionally, some of the Company’s lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over contractual levels. These variable payments are not included in the measurement of the lease liability or asset and are expensed as incurred.

As most of the Company’s lease agreements do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from third-party information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The rate used is for a secured borrowing of a similar term as the lease.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to twenty years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The lease term includes the initial contractual term as well as any options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company does not currently have any material short-term leases. Additionally, the Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Company subleases certain real estate to third parties, which have all been classified as operating leases. The Company recognized sublease income on a straight-line basis.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its financial assets and liabilities in accordance with the framework for measuring fair value in accordance with ASC 820. This framework establishes a three-level 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 valuation of derivative instruments, impairment analysis of goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets. Impairment losses related to store-level assets are calculated using significant unobservable inputs including the present value of future cash flows expected to be generated using a risk-adjusted market based weighted-average cost of capital, comparable store sales growth assumptions, and third party property appraisal data. Therefore, these inputs are classified as a level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, 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
Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company records derivatives at fair value. The designation of a derivative instrument as a hedge and its ability to meet the hedge accounting criteria determine how the Company reflects the change in fair value of the derivative instrument in its financial statements. A derivative qualifies for hedge accounting if, at inception, the derivative is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the underlying hedged cash flows, and the Company fulfills the hedge documentation standards at the time it enters into the derivative contract. The Company designates its hedge based on the exposure it is hedging. For qualifying cash flow hedges, the Company records changes in fair value in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The Company releases the derivative’s gain or loss from OCI to match the timing of the underlying hedged item’s effect on earnings.

The Company reviews the effectiveness of its hedging instruments quarterly. The Company recognizes changes in the fair value for derivatives not designated as hedges or those not qualifying for hedge accounting in current period earnings. The Company discontinues hedge accounting for any hedge that is no longer evaluated to be highly effective.

The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes, and it monitors the financial stability and credit standing of its counterparties in these transactions.

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures share-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes share-based compensation cost as expense over the vesting period. As share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of expense has been reduced for actual forfeitures as they occur. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value for each option grant. See Note 25, “Share-Based Compensation” for a discussion of assumptions used in the calculation of fair values. Application of alternative assumptions could produce different estimates of the fair value of share-based compensation and, consequently, the related amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The grant date fair value of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance share awards (“PSAs”), and restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) is based on the closing price per share of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The Company recognizes compensation expense for time-based awards on a straight-line basis and for performance-based awards on the graded-vesting method over the vesting period of the awards.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied upon the transfer of goods to the customer, which occurs at the point of sale, and payment from customers is also due at the time of sale. Proceeds from the sale of gift cards are recorded as a liability at the time of sale and recognized as sales when they are redeemed by the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied by the Company. The Company’s gift cards do not expire. Based on historical redemption rates, a small and relatively stable percentage of gift cards will never be redeemed, referred to as "breakage." Estimated breakage revenue is recognized over time in proportion to actual gift card redemptions and was not material in any period presented.

The nature of goods the Company transfers to customers at the point of sale are inventories, consisting of merchandise purchased for resale.

The Company does not have any material contract assets or receivables from contracts with customers, any revenue recognized in the current period from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods, any contract performance obligations, or any material costs to obtain or fulfill a contract as of January 2, 2022.
Cost of Sales

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the cost of inventory sold during the period, including the direct costs of purchased merchandise (net of discounts and allowances), distribution and supply chain costs, supplies and depreciation and amortization for distribution centers and supply chain related assets. The Company recognizes vendor allowances and merchandise volume related rebate allowances as a reduction of inventories during the period when earned and reflects the allowances as a component of cost of sales as the inventory is sold.

The Company’s largest supplier accounted for approximately 44%, 42% and 40% of total purchases during 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries, wages and benefits costs, share-based compensation, occupancy costs (including rent, property taxes, utilities, common area maintenance and insurance), advertising costs, buying costs, pre-opening and other administrative costs.

The Company charges certain vendors to place advertisements in the Company’s in-store guide and circulars under a cooperative advertising program. The Company records rebates received from vendors in connection with cooperative advertising programs as a reduction to advertising costs when the allowance represents a reimbursement of a specific incremental and identifiable cost. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, net of rebates, was $45.9 million, $54.4 million and $57.2 million for 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense (exclusive of depreciation included in cost of sales) primarily consists of depreciation and amortization for buildings, store leasehold improvements, and equipment.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s deferred tax assets are subject to periodic recoverability assessments. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. Realization of the deferred tax assets is principally dependent upon achievement of projected future taxable income offset by deferred tax liabilities. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the judgment occurs.

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. The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017, and January 1, 2017, are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Company recognizes the effect of uncertain income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of income tax expense.

Share Repurchases

Share Repurchases

The Company has elected to retire shares repurchased to date. Shares retired become part of the pool of authorized but unissued shares. The Company has elected to record purchase price of the retired shares in excess of par value directly as a reduction of retained earnings.

Net Income per Share

Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the fiscal period.

Diluted net income per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding, plus, where applicable, shares that would have been outstanding related to dilutive options, PSAs, RSAs, and RSUs.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income and the unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments that qualify for and have been designated as cash flow hedges, for all periods presented.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

Income Taxes –Accounting for Income Taxes

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU no. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” Among other things, the amendment removes certain exceptions for periods with operating losses, and reduces the complexity surrounding franchise tax, step up in tax basis of goodwill in conjunction with a business combination, and timing of enacting changes in tax laws during interim periods. The Company adopted this standard effective January 4, 2021 on a prospective
basis. There was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU no. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this update introduce a new standard to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Subsequent to the initial standards, the FASB has also issued several ASUs to clarify specific topics. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 effective December 30, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach. There was no impact to opening retained earnings as of December 30, 2019 or on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Compensation – Fair Value Disclosures

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair value measurement (Topic 820) – Disclosure framework – Changes to the disclosure requirements for fair value measurement.” The amendments in this update improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. The Company adopted this standard effective December 30, 2019. There was no impact on the Company’s disclosure in its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (ASC 842).” ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability for all leases with terms greater than twelve months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a financing or operating lease.

The Company adopted the standard as of December 31, 2018, the first day of fiscal year 2019. The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, permits companies not to reassess prior conclusions on lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient.

The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities of approximately $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2018, including recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities for certain third-party operated distribution center locations. Included in the measurement of the new lease assets and liabilities is the reclassification of balances historically recorded as deferred rent and unfavorable and favorable leasehold interests. Additionally, the Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment, which increased retained earnings by $11.4 million, net of tax. This adjustment was driven by the derecognition of approximately $114.0 million of lease obligations and $102.6 million of net assets related to leases that had been classified as financing lease obligations under the former failed-sale leaseback guidance, and are now classified as operating leases as of the transition date.

This reclassification also resulted in the recognition of rent expense beginning December 31, 2018, which was previously reported as interest expense under the former failed sale-leaseback guidance. Lastly, the adoption of this standard resulted in a change in naming convention for leases classified historically as capital leases. These leases are now referred to as finance leases. The adoption of this standard did not have any impact on the Company’s liquidity or cash flows.

Refer to Note 7, “Leases”, for additional information related to the Company’s leases.

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020 and January 2021, the FASB issued ASU no. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” and ASU 2021-01, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope,” respectively. The amendments in these updates provide optional expedients and exceptions for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. Generally, the guidance allows contract modifications related to reference rate reform to be considered events that do not require remeasurements or reassessments of previous accounting determinations at the modification date. These updates only apply to modifications made prior to December 31, 2022. No such modifications occurred in the year ending January 2, 2022. The Company expects to utilize this optional guidance but does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during fiscal 2021 had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
