Pounds processed and supply mix

We define pounds processed as the total number of pounds of goods processed during the period, excluding furniture and other large items. This metric is an indicator of the amount of secondhand goods processed during the period and is typically a key driver of top-line sales growth. We process inventory by receiving goods directly from our NPPs or through OSDs and GreenDrop, sorting them, and placing them on the sales floor. Increasing the proportion of OSDs and GreenDrop as a percentage of total supply is desirable as donations from these sources are usually of higher quality and collectively have a lower cost than product sourced through other channels. We believe investors can use these metrics to assist in their evaluation of our sales growth and sales yield.

During the thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2025 and September 28, 2024, we processed 823 million and 753 million pounds of supply, respectively, of which 77.9% and 76.8% was comprised of supply from OSDs and GreenDrop, respectively.

Sales yield

We define sales yield as retail sales generated per pound processed on a currency neutral and comparable store basis. We believe investors can use this metric as an indicator of the quality of goods we source, because when the quality is high, we are able to
