Two-Year Stacked Comparable Store Sales Analysis

Management is providing Comparable Store Sales Two-Year Stacked analysis, a non-GAAP measure, because management believes this metric is useful to investors and analysts. A Comparable Store Sales Two-Year Stacked analysis presents a comparison of results and trends over a longer period of time to demonstrate the effect of fluctuating economic activity on the operating results of the Company. Information presented in the tables below is not intended for use as an alternative to any other measure of performance. It is not recommended that this table be considered a substitute for the Company’s operating results as reported in accordance with GAAP.

Year-over-year and sequential comparisons are the primary calculations used to analyze operating results, however, due to fluctuations caused by declining government benefits, pharmacy sales growth, and inflationary trends in the food retail industry, management believes it is necessary to provide a Two-Year Stacked Comparable Store Sales analysis. The following tables provide the two-year stacked comparable store sales, including and excluding fuel, for the periods ended June 27, 2026, and June 28, 2025, as well as periods ended June 28, 2025, and June 29, 2024, respectively. Comparable store sales increased 2.3 percent on an individual year-over-year basis and increased 4.1 percent on a two-year stacked basis for the thirteen weeks ended June 27, 2026. Comparable store sales increased 2.2 percent on an individual year-over-year basis and increased 3.6 percent on a two-year stacked basis for the twenty-six weeks ended June 27, 2026.

Quantitative Disclosure - There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk during the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026. Quantitative information is set forth in Item 7a on the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” which was filed for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Qualitative Disclosure - This information is set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K under the caption “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” which was filed for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, together with the Company’s Disclosure Committee, evaluated the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2026. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the periods covered March 29, 2026 through June 27, 2026 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports was accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the periods covered through December 27, 2025 and March 28, 2026, respectively.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013 framework). The Company’s internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As previously disclosed in Item 9a Controls and Procedures of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025, management concluded that there was a material weakness in internal controls due to the incorrect recording of certain overstated inventory amounts and that our internal controls over financial reporting were not designed to prevent or detect a material error as of December 27, 2025. The material weakness resulted in an overstatement of inventory in our previously issued financial statements. The impact of those errors has been corrected and presented in Note 12 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2025. Subsequent to the year ended December 27, 2025, the Company engaged outside legal counsel to conduct a separate investigation and report findings to the Audit Committee. A detailed analysis was completed by management to determine the impact of the overstated inventory. As part of the remediation efforts, the Company enhanced its inventory management processes and strengthened controls related to the completeness, accuracy, and valuation of inventory, which remediated controls have operated for a sufficient period of time. These actions included improved documentation and record-retention practices, enhanced supervisory and accounting review procedures, revised inventory count and reconciliation protocols, expanded monitoring and exception-reporting processes, and strengthened segregation-of-duties controls. The Company also implemented additional management review controls to further enhance its overall internal control environment.
