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

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Significant Accounting Policies 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 2024 ended on December 29, 2024 and included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2023 ended on December 31, 2023 and included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2022 ended on January 1, 2023 and included 52 weeks. Fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 are referred to as 2024, 2023 and 2022, 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:
 As Of
 December 29, 2024December 31, 2023
Due from banks for debit and credit card transactions$80,409 $85,116 
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 $2.1 million as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 from ecommerce sales, billings to landlords for tenant allowances, manufacturer coupons and other miscellaneous receivables. 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 December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for major additions and improvements to facilities as well as significant component replacements are capitalized. All other 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
3 to 20 years
Leasehold improvements
up to 15 years
Buildings40 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,” liquor licenses and reacquired rights recognized in connection with the acquisition of Ronald Cohn, Inc. in 2023. See Note 27, “Business Combination” for more information on this acquisition.
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 the 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 the macroeconomic environment. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required, and goodwill is not impaired. Otherwise, the Company compares 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 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. 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 $0.4 million and $8.1 million in 2024 and 2022, respectively, as part of the normal course of business primarily related to the write-down of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $30.5 million in 2023 of which $27.8 million was in connection with the decision to close certain underperforming stores (see Note 26, "Store Closures") and $2.7 million was in the normal course of business primarily related to the write-down of right-of-use assets and 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 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 its 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 common area maintenance ("CAM"), property 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 recognizes 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 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.
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. The Company had no active derivative financial instruments as of December 29, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
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”) and performance share awards (“PSAs”) is based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common 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. A summary of the activity and balances in the gift card liability, net is as follows:
Year Ended
December 29, 2024December 31, 2023January 1, 2023

Ending Balance$11,071 $10,566 $10,906 
(1)net of estimated breakage
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 December 29, 2024.
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, 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 50%, 47% and 45% of total purchases during 2024, 2023 and 2022, 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, CAM 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 $46.8 million, $45.8 million and $49.2 million for 2024, 2023 and 2022, 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 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 the purchase price of the retired shares in excess of par value directly as a reduction of retained earnings. The cost of common shares repurchased includes a 1% excise tax imposed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
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 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
Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU no. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The amendments in this update increased required disclosures about a public entity's reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). In addition, ASU 2023-07 requires the Company to disclose the title and position of its CODM. The Company adopted this standard effective December 29, 2024 and accordingly updated its segment disclosures (see Note 24, “Segments”) but there was no impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Income Taxes – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU no. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The amendments in this update enhance a public entity's annual income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2025. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance should be applied prospectively, with an option to apply it retrospectively. The Company expects this update to impact its income tax disclosures but does not anticipate that this update will impact its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issues ASU no. 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses". The standard requires public entities to disclose additional disaggregation of expense in the notes to the financial statements for interim and annual reporting periods. The guidance is effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2027. Early adoption is permitted, and the guidance should be applied prospectively, with an option to apply it retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during 2024 had, or are expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Credit Agreement
The Company’s subsidiary, Sprouts Farmers Markets Holdings, LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”), is the borrower under a credit agreement entered into on March 25, 2022 (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") with an initial aggregate commitment of $700.0 million. Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement may be increased from time to time in accordance with an expansion feature set forth in the Credit Agreement.
The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $3.4 million related to the Credit Agreement, which, combined with the remaining $0.5 million debt issuance costs in respect of that certain amended and restated credit agreement entered into on March 27, 2018, by and among the Company, Intermediate Holdings, certain lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (the “Former Credit Facility”), which remained outstanding as of the time of Intermediate Holdings’ entry into the Credit Agreement, are being amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the five-year term of the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $70.0 million letter of credit sub-facility (the "Letter of Credit Sub-Facility") and a $50.0 million swingline facility. Letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement reduce the capacity of Intermediate Holdings to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility. Letters of credit totaling $19.6 million have been issued as of December 29, 2024 under the Letter of Credit Sub-Facility, primarily to support the Company’s insurance programs.
Guarantees
Obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of its existing and future wholly-owned material domestic subsidiaries, and are secured by first-priority security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company, Intermediate Holdings, and the subsidiary guarantors, including, without limitation, a pledge by the Company of its equity interest in Intermediate Holdings.
Interest and Fees
Loans under the Credit Agreement will initially bear interest, at the Company's option, either at the Term SOFR (with a floor of 0.00%) plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment and 1.00% per annum or base rate (with a floor of 0.00%) plus 0.00% per annum. The interest rate margins are subject to upward adjustments pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio as set forth in the Credit Agreement and to upward or downward adjustments of up to 0.05% based upon the achievement of certain diversity and sustainability-linked metric thresholds, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay a commitment fee on the available unused amount of the commitments, which commitment fee ranges between 0.10% to 0.225% per annum, pursuant to a pricing grid based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The commitment fees are subject to upward or downward adjustments of up to 0.01% based upon the achievement of certain diversity and sustainability-linked metric thresholds, as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
As of December 29, 2024, loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bore interest at Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment and 0.95% per annum.
As of December 29, 2024, outstanding letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement were subject to a participation fee of 0.95% per annum and an issuance fee of 0.125% per annum.
Payments and Borrowings
The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature, and the commitments thereunder will terminate on March 25, 2027, subject to extensions as set forth therein.
The Company may prepay loans and permanently reduce commitments under the Credit Agreement at any time in agreed-upon minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty (except SOFR breakage costs, if applicable).
In connection with the execution of the Credit Agreement, the Company's obligations under the Former Credit Facility were prepaid and terminated.
During 2024, the Company made no additional borrowings and made principal payments of $125.0 million, resulting in no outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement of as of December 29, 2024. During 2023, the Company made no additional borrowings and principal payments of $125.0 million, resulting in total outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement of $125.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

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

The Company is self-insured for costs related to workers’ compensation, general liability and employee health benefits up to certain self-insured retentions and 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 $2.1 million and $1.3 million from its insurance carriers for payments expected to be made in excess of self-insured retentions at December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company recorded amounts for general liability, workers' compensation and team member health benefit liabilities of $53.2 million and $47.8 million at December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Tax Rate Reconciliation
Income tax provision differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pre-tax income as a result of the following:
Year Ended
December 29, 2024December 31, 2023January 1, 2023
Federal statutory rate21.0 %21.0 %21.0 %
Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from:
State income taxes, net of federal benefit4.85.44.7
Enhanced charitable contribution impact(0.9)(1.0)(0.9)
Non-deductible Executive Compensation1.41.40.9
Benefit of federal tax credit(0.3)(0.7)(0.5)
Excess tax benefits from share based payments(1.1)(1.2)(0.4)
Other, net(0.2)0.4
Effective income tax rate24.9 %24.7 %25.2 %
The effective income tax rate increased to 24.9% in 2024 from 24.7% in 2023 primarily due to a reduction in federal credits and reduced impact of other permanent items due to higher pre-tax income, offset by a reduction in state taxes due to a state valuation allowance recorded in the prior year. The effective income tax rate decreased to 24.7% in 2023 from 25.2% in 2022 primarily due to excess tax benefits related to the exercise or vesting of share-based awards partially offset by an increase in nondeductible executive compensation.
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 $7.0 million, $5.0 million and $1.7 million for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is reflected as a reduction to the 2024, 2023 and 2022 income tax provision.

Asset retirement obligations(876)(939)
Total gross deferred tax liabilities(538,822)(486,345)
Net deferred tax liability$(73,059)$(62,381)
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 valuation allowance was $4.5 million and $3.3 million as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, related to contribution carryforwards that management does not believe will ultimately be realized.
The Company has evaluated all available positive and negative evidence and believes it is probable that all other the deferred tax assets will be realized and has not recorded any other valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
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.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
As Of
December 29, 2024December 31, 2023January 1, 2023
Beginning balance$477 $1,119 $1,770

Reductions for settlements with taxing authorities— — (694)
Reduction due to lapse of applicable statute of limitations(245)(700)— 
Ending balance$232 $477 $1,119 
The Company had unrecognized tax benefits (tax effected) of $0.2 million and $0.5 million as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. 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 anticipates a decrease in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of $0.2 million during the next twelve months related to the passing of the applicable statute of limitations.
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 2018 through 2023 and state tax returns for the tax years 2019 through 2023 with few exceptions.

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.

Subsequent to December 29, 2024 and through February 18, 2025, the Company repurchased an additional 0.7 million shares of common stock for $93.7 million, excluding excise tax.
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 Net Income per Share
The computation of basic net income per share is based on the number of weighted average shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted net income per share includes the dilutive effect of share equivalents consisting of incremental shares deemed outstanding from the assumed exercise of options and unvested RSUs. PSAs are included in the computation of diluted net income per share only to the extent that the underlying performance conditions are satisfied prior to the end of the reporting period or would be satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the related performance period, and if the effect would be dilutive.

The Company did not have any outstanding interest rate swap agreements as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
In December 2017, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage its cash flow associated with variable interest rates. This forward contract was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge, and its change in fair value was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods in which the forecasted transaction occurred. The forward contract consisted of five cash flow hedges with a notional dollar amount of $250.0 million, and each had a length of one year and matured annually from 2018 to 2022.
The gain or loss on these derivative instruments was recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax, with the portion related to current period interest payments reclassified to Interest expense, net on the consolidated statements of income.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
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 GAAP. This framework establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities are primarily used in the impairment analysis of goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets.
The Company did not have any financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 29, 2024. The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023:

Long-term debt$— $125,000 $— $125,000 
Total financial liabilities$— $125,000 $— $125,000 
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 December 31, 2023.

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

The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued to team members and directors under the 2022 Incentive Plan may not exceed 6,600,000, subject to the following adjustments. If any awards granted under the 2022 Incentive Plan, terminate, expire, or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, vested or paid in shares, the shares will again be available for purposes of the 2022 Incentive Plan. In addition, the number of shares subject to outstanding awards under the Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan (the “2013 Incentive Plan”) that terminate, expire, are paid in cash, or are cancelled, forfeited, exchanged, or surrendered without having been exercised, vested, or paid in shares under the 2013 Incentive Plan after the effective date of the 2022 Incentive Plan will be available for issuance
under the 2022 Incentive Plan. As of December 29, 2024, there were 1,064,137 stock awards outstanding and 5,589,778 shares remaining available for issuance under the 2022 Incentive Plan.
2013 Incentive Plan
Prior to the adoption of the 2022 Incentive Plan, the 2013 Incentive Plan served as the umbrella plan for the Company’s share-based and cash-based incentive compensation programs for its directors, officers and other team members. Upon stockholder approval of the 2022 Incentive Plan on May 25, 2022, no further awards will be granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan, but awards outstanding under the 2013 Incentive Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and the terms of the 2013 Incentive Plan.
The RSUs generally vest either one-third each year for three years or one-half each year for two years for team members. RSUs granted to independent members of the Company’s board of directors cliff vest in one year. The options expire seven years from grant date. The PSAs are described below.
Stock Options
Outstanding options 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 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $23.50, $12.63 and $10.58, respectively, and were calculated using the following assumptions in the table below:

The grant date weighted average fair value of the 0.3 million options issued but not vested as of December 29, 2024 was $16.90. The grant date weighted average fair value of the 0.4 million options issued but not vested as of December 31, 2023 was $10.84. The grant date weighted average fair value of the 1.0 million options issued but not vested as of January 1, 2023 was $6.66.
The following table summarizes grant date weighted average fair value of options granted and options forfeited:

Grant date weighted average fair value of options granted$23.50 $12.63 $10.58 
Grant date weighted average fair value of options forfeited$11.87 $10.98 $8.66 
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 $12.2 million for each of fiscal 2024 and 2023 and $1.8 million for fiscal 2022.

Outstanding RSUs 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.

Store Closures [Abstract]  
Store Closures Store Closures
In February 2023, the Company's board of directors approved the closing of 11 stores, all of which were closed during 2023. These stores, on average, were approximately 30% larger than the Company's current prototype format and were underperforming financially. The closure of these stores resulted in a charge of $27.8 million in 2023 related to the impairment of leasehold improvements and right-of-use assets and was reflected in Store closure and other costs, net on the consolidated statements of income. The impairment charge represented the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of each store's asset group. Accelerated depreciation on the closed stores' assets during 2023 was $5.9 million, and was reflected in Depreciation and amortization on the consolidated statements of income. Severance expense during 2023 was immaterial.
No stores were closed during 2024 and all lease costs associated with our closed locations, for which a lease remains in effect, are included within Store closure and other costs, net. See Note 7, "Leases", for amounts incurred during 2024.

Business Combination Business Combination
On March 20, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Ronald Cohn, Inc., a corporation that owned two stores located in California operating under the ‘Sprouts Farmers Market’ name pursuant to a legacy trademark license arrangement. The aggregate consideration paid in the transaction consisted of 0.6 million of the Company’s common shares valued at $18.1 million using the closing price of the Company's common stock on March 20, 2023 and cash consideration of $13.0 million.
The Company accounted for this transaction as a business combination in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs were immaterial and were expensed as incurred. The financial results of the acquired stores have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The acquired stores' results of operations were not material to the Company's consolidated results.
The net purchase price was allocated to the net tangible assets of ($4.9) million and a reacquired right intangible asset of $23.1 million based on their fair values on the acquisition date. The remaining unallocated net purchase price of $12.9 million was recorded as goodwill. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits to the Company from the acquisition, which include the Company's ability to fully control the Sprouts Farmers Market brand by termination of the legacy trademark license agreement and allowing further expansion opportunities in Southern California. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The final allocation of the purchase price consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has been completed and included an immaterial amount of measurement period adjustments.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Cybersecurity is of critical importance to our success. We are susceptible to significant and persistent cybersecurity threats, including data breaches, ransomware, and phishing attacks. These threats, which are constantly evolving, include attempts by malicious actors to breach our security and compromise our information technology systems, as well as those of our vendors and suppliers. A cybersecurity incident impacting us or any third party could disrupt operations, damage our reputation, and result in costly litigation and/or government enforcement action. We are committed to maintaining robust cybersecurity and data protection practices and continuously evaluate cybersecurity threats, considering their immediate and long-term effects on our business strategy, operations, and financial condition.
Under the oversight of our Board of Directors, and the Board’s risk committee, our management has established comprehensive processes identifying, assessing, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. These processes are integrated into our enterprise risk management program and include proactive measures such as advanced threat monitoring, penetration testing, multi-factor authentication, and team member training. We also align our practices with recognized standards such as the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. Our detailed incident response plan outlines steps for detection, assessment, notification, and recovery, including escalation to management, the Risk Committee, and the Board when appropriate.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 2024 ended on December 29, 2024 and included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2023 ended on December 31, 2023 and included 52 weeks. Fiscal year 2022 ended on January 1, 2023 and included 52 weeks. Fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022 are referred to as 2024, 2023 and 2022, 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.
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 $2.1 million as of December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 from ecommerce sales, billings to landlords for tenant allowances, manufacturer coupons and other miscellaneous receivables. 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 December 29, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
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 as well as significant component replacements are capitalized. All other 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
3 to 20 years
Leasehold improvements
up to 15 years
Buildings40 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,” liquor licenses and reacquired rights recognized in connection with the acquisition of Ronald Cohn, Inc. in 2023. See Note 27, “Business Combination” for more information on this acquisition.
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 the 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 the macroeconomic environment. If this qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required, and goodwill is not impaired. Otherwise, the Company compares 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 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. The Company has had no goodwill impairment charges for the past three fiscal years.
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 $0.4 million and $8.1 million in 2024 and 2022, respectively, as part of the normal course of business primarily related to the write-down of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements. The Company recorded an impairment loss of $30.5 million in 2023 of which $27.8 million was in connection with the decision to close certain underperforming stores (see Note 26, "Store Closures") and $2.7 million was in the normal course of business primarily related to the write-down of right-of-use assets and 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 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
Leases
The Company leases its 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 common area maintenance ("CAM"), property 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 recognizes 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 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.
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. The Company had no active derivative financial instruments as of December 29, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
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”) and performance share awards (“PSAs”) is based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common 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. A summary of the activity and balances in the gift card liability, net is as follows:

(1)net of estimated breakage
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 December 29, 2024.
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, 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.
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, CAM 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.
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 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 the purchase price of the retired shares in excess of par value directly as a reduction of retained earnings. The cost of common shares repurchased includes a 1% excise tax imposed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
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 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.
