Smart & Final Stores, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results

COMMERCE, Calif. (July 25, 2017) – Smart & Final Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE:SFS), the value-oriented food and everyday staples retailer, today reported financial results for the fiscal second quarter ended June 18, 2017.

Second Quarter Highlights:

· Net sales increase of 3.9% to $1,078.3 million

· Comparable store sales increase of 1.3%

· Net income of $7.1 million, or $0.09 per diluted share

· Adjusted net income of $11.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share

· Adjusted EBITDA of $48.0 million

“The second quarter marked a return to positive comparable store sales growth, reflecting the expected lessening of pressures from deflation and growth-related sales cannibalization, as well as from customer growth attributable to our strong competitive position,” said David Hirz, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We expect sales growth will continue to be supported by the maturation of new stores opened over the past two years, as well as marketing and promotional initiatives aimed at increasing store traffic and building basket size.”

Mr. Hirz added, “Smart & Final is well known for meeting the needs of both business and household customers with quality warehouse-club sized and private label products, plus a unique assortment of items for small businesses. We have a differentiated position in our value-priced and convenient stores with strong digital capabilities. With a broad range of online and delivery options to serve our customers, Smart & Final is well positioned for continued success in an evolving marketplace.”

In order to aid understanding of the Company’s business performance, it has presented results in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and has also presented EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted net income per share, and adjusted net income per diluted share, which are non-GAAP measures that are explained and reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in the tables included in this release. Where applicable, the numbers below are first presented on a GAAP basis and then on a non-GAAP adjusted basis.
