Effective for the fifty-three weeks ending January 3, 2026 (“fiscal 2025”), Savers Value Village, Inc. (the “ Company”) will make certain changes to its non-GAAP financial reporting as detailed below.

In late 2024, the Company began undertaking efforts to refine its reporting specifically related to its definition of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“ Adjusted EBITDA”), comparable store sales and its approach for calculating the tax effect on adjustments within the Company’s adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share metrics. The Company believes it is appropriate to refine these metrics beginning in fiscal 2025 to better reflect the impact of its accelerating new store growth on both sales and profitability, and to improve consistency with the reporting practices of peer companies with similar growth characteristics. These changes have no impact on reported net income or the related per share amounts.

The Company is updating its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to include non-cash occupancy-related costs, pre-opening expenses and store closing expenses, all of which were excluded under its previous definition of Adjusted EBITDA. This change will be reflected beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, and the Company will recast Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin in consideration of the change for previous periods for purposes of comparability. The Company will report results for its fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 in late February 2025 using the previous definition of Adjusted EBITDA for the final time so as to be consistent with the definition of Adjusted EBITDA used in both the first three quarters of fiscal 2024 and with its previously issued outlook for the full year. Its outlook for fiscal 2025, also to be provided in late February 2025, will utilize the new definition of Adjusted EBITDA as described above.

Further, the Company is updating its definition of comparable store sales. Previously, the Company defined comparable store sales to be sales by stores that have been in operation for all or a portion of two consecutive fiscal years, or, in other words, stores that are starting their third fiscal year of operation. The new approach will define comparable store sales to be sales by stores that have been in operation for all or a portion of 14 months to more closely conform with common retail practice. The change will be reflected as part of its subsequent reporting of results during fiscal 2025. Historical comparable store sales will not be recast as
