Organization and Description of Business | 1. Organization and Description of Business |
Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., a Delaware corporation is the parent company of Sprouts Farmers Markets Holdings, LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”) which, through its subsidiaries, operates as a specialty retailer of natural and organic food, offering a complete shopping experience that includes fresh produce, bulk foods, vitamins and supplements, grocery, meat and seafood, bakery, dairy, frozen foods, body care and natural household items catering to consumers’ growing interest in eating and living healthier. As of December 28, 2014, the Company operated 191 stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas and Utah. For convenience, the “Company” is used to refer collectively to Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. and, unless the context requires otherwise, its subsidiaries. The Company’s store operations are conducted by its subsidiaries. | |
Sunflower Transaction | |
In May 2012, the Company acquired Sunflower Farmers Markets, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Sunflower Transaction”) that operated 37 Sunflower Farmers Market stores (referred to as “Sunflower”), which increased the Company’s total store count to 143 and extended the Company’s footprint into New Mexico, Nevada, Oklahoma and Utah. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Sunflower commencing on May 29, 2012. | |
See Note 4, “Business Combinations,” for additional information about the Sunflower Transaction. | |
Corporate Conversion | |
On July 29, 2013, Sprouts Farmers Markets, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, converted into Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporate Conversion”). As a result of the corporate conversion, the members holding interests in Class A and Class B units of Sprouts Farmers Markets, LLC became holders of common stock of Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc., and options to purchase Class B units of Sprouts Farmers Markets, LLC were converted to options to purchase shares of common stock of Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. The conversion of units and options to purchase units was on an 11 for 1 basis. The Company refers to this transaction as the “Corporate Conversion.” All equity related disclosures, including share, per share, and option disclosures, have been revised to reflect the effects of the Corporate Conversion, including the 11 for 1 exchange. | |
The purpose of the Corporate Conversion was to reorganize the corporate structure so that the top-tier entity in the corporate structure, the entity that offered common stock to the public in the Company’s initial public offering, is a corporation rather than a limited liability company and so that the existing investors would own the Company’s common stock rather than equity interests in a limited liability company. | |
Initial Public Offering | |
On August 6, 2013, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 21,275,000 shares of common stock at a price of $18.00 per share. The Company sold 20,477,215 shares of common stock, and certain stockholders sold the remaining 797,785 shares. The Company received net proceeds from the IPO of $344.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. |

Significant Accounting Policies | 3. 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 years 2014, 2013, and 2012 ended on December 28, 2014, December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, and included 52-weeks. Fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 are referred to as 2014, 2013, and 2012. | |||||||||||||
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 included, but are not limited to: inventory valuations, lease assumptions, sublease assumptions for closed stores, self-insurance reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, fair values of equity-based awards and income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | |||||||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||||||||
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased 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 these financial institutions may, from time to time, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) federally insured limits. All credit and debit card transactions are also classified as cash and cash equivalents. The amounts due from banks for these transactions at each reporting date were as follows: | |||||||||||||
As Of | |||||||||||||
December 28, | December 29, | ||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||||||||
Due from banks for debit and credit card transactions | $ | 31,750 | $ | 20,463 | |||||||||
Accounts Receivable | |||||||||||||
Accounts receivable generally represent billings to vendors for earned rebates and other items and landlords for tenant allowances. When a specific account is determined uncollectible, the net recognized receivable is written off. | |||||||||||||
Inventories | |||||||||||||
Inventories consist of merchandise purchased for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost method is used for warehouse 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 market using weighted averaging and other estimation techniques, the use of which approximates the FIFO method. | |||||||||||||
The Company believes that all inventories are saleable and no allowances or reserves for shrinkage or obsolescence were recorded as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013. | |||||||||||||
Property and Equipment | |||||||||||||
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for major additions and improvements to facilities are capitalized, while 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 operations. Depreciation expense, which includes the amortization of assets recorded under capital and financing leases, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. Leasehold improvements and assets under capital and financing leases are amortized over the shorter of the lease term to which they relate, or the estimated useful life of the asset. 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 assured. | |||||||||||||
The following table includes the estimated useful lives of asset classes: | |||||||||||||
Software and used equipment | 3 years | ||||||||||||
Computer hardware | 5 years | ||||||||||||
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 7 years | ||||||||||||
Leasehold improvements | up to 15 years | ||||||||||||
Buildings | 40 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. Certain project costs, including general site selection costs that cannot be identified with a specific store location, are charged to direct store expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||
Asset Retirement Obligations | |||||||||||||
The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) are related to the Company’s commitment to return leased facilities to the landlord in an agreed upon condition. This may require actions ranging from cleaning to removal of leasehold improvements. The obligation is recorded as a liability with an offsetting capital asset at the inception of the lease term based upon the estimated fair market value of costs to meet the commitment. The liability, included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, is accreted over time to the projected future value of the obligation. The ARO asset, included in property and equipment in the consolidated balance sheets, is depreciated using the same useful life as the related property. | |||||||||||||
A reconciliation of the ARO liability is as follows: | |||||||||||||

Adjustments | (310 | ) | (163 | ) | |||||||||
Ending balance | $ | 2,952 | $ | 2,575 | |||||||||
Closed Store Reserve | |||||||||||||
The Company recognizes a reserve for future operating lease payments and other occupancy costs associated with facilities that are no longer being utilized in its current operations. The reserve is recorded based on the present value of the remaining noncancelable lease payments and estimates of other occupancy costs after the cease use date less an estimate of subtenant income. If subtenant income is expected to be higher than the lease payments, no accrual is recorded. Lease payments and other occupancy costs included in the closed store reserve are expected to be paid over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Adjustments to the closed store reserve relate primarily to changes in actual or estimated subtenant income and actual lease payments and other occupancy costs from original estimates. Adjustments are made for changes in estimates in the period in which the change becomes known considering timing of new information regarding the market, subleases or other lease updates. Adjustments in the closed store reserves are recorded in “store closure and exit costs” in the consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||
Self-Insurance Reserves | |||||||||||||
The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance programs to provide reserves for potential liabilities associated with general liability, workers’ compensation and team member health benefits. Liabilities for self-insurance reserves are estimated through consideration of various factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. | |||||||||||||
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” and liquor licenses. The Company also holds intangible assets with finite useful lives, consisting of favorable and unfavorable leasehold interests and the “Sunflower Farmers Market” trade name. | |||||||||||||
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis on the first day of 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 a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company’s qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required and goodwill is not impaired. Otherwise, the Company follows a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test to determine if goodwill is impaired. The first step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis or impairment of goodwill is required. If the carrying value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit would be allocated to the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities based on the relative fair value, with goodwill written down to its implied fair value, if necessary. | |||||||||||||
Indefinite-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis on the first day of 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 for its indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a qualitative assessment similar to that for goodwill. If the Company’s qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset 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 can elect to bypass the qualitative assessments approach for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and proceed directly to the quantitative assessments for goodwill or any indefinite-lived intangible assets in any period. The Company can resume the qualitative assessment approach in future periods. | |||||||||||||
The Company has determined its business consists of a single reporting unit. When applying the quantitative test, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. | |||||||||||||
The Company completed its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment evaluations as of the first day of the fourth quarter and concluded during 2014, 2013 and 2012 that there was no impairment. The Company also concluded that events and circumstances continued to support classifying its indefinite-lived intangible assets as such. See Note 8, “Intangible Assets” and Note 9, “Goodwill” for further discussion. | |||||||||||||
The trade name related to “Sunflower Farmers Market” meets the definition of a defensive intangible asset and is amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 10 years from the date of its acquisition by the Company. Favorable and unfavorable leasehold interests are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. | |||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | |||||||||||||
The Company assesses its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. 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. Factors which may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance relative to the historical or projected future operating results of the store or a significant negative industry or economic trend. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. 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 is estimated based on the discounted future cash flows or comparable market values, if available. The Company did not record any impairment loss during 2014, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||
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 Revolving Credit Facility, 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 consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||||||
Operating Leases | |||||||||||||
The Company leases stores, warehouse facilities and administrative offices under operating leases. | |||||||||||||
Incentives received from lessors are deferred and recorded as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term using the straight-line method. The current portion of unamortized lease incentives is included in Other accrued liabilities and the noncurrent portion is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||||||
Store lease agreements generally include rent abatements and rent escalation provisions and may include contingent rent provisions based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels. The Company recognizes escalations of minimum rents and/or abatements as deferred rent and amortizes these balances on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. | |||||||||||||
For lease agreements that require the payment of contingent rents based on a percentage of sales above stipulated minimums, the Company begins accruing an estimate for contingent rent when it is determined that it is probable the specified levels of sales in excess of the stipulated minimums will be reached during the year. The Company accrued $1.6 million, $1.4 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 28, 2014, December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively for contingent rent. | |||||||||||||
Financing Lease Obligations | |||||||||||||
The Company has recorded financing lease obligations for 38 store building leases at both December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013. In each case, the Company was deemed to be the owner during the construction period under lease accounting guidance. Further, each lease contains provisions indicating continuing involvement with the property at the end of the construction period, which include either an affiliate guaranty or contingent collateral. As a result, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, buildings and related assets subject to the leases are reflected on the Company’s balance sheets and depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The present value of the lease payments associated with these buildings is recorded as financing lease obligations. | |||||||||||||
At December 28, 2014 the Company has also recorded a current financing lease obligation and related construction in progress totaling $25.0 million for one of its administrative facilities under the lease accounting guidance noted above. However, the Company expects that there will be no continuing involvement provisions in effect at the end of the construction period and therefore will be able to remove the asset and corresponding financing lease obligation at the end of the construction period in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. | |||||||||||||
Monthly lease payments are allocated between the land element of the lease (which is accounted for as an operating lease) and the financing obligation. The financing obligation is amortized using the effective interest method and the interest rate is determined in accordance with the requirements of sale-leaseback accounting. Lease payments less the portion allocated to the land element of the lease and that portion considered to be interest expense decrease the financing liability. At the end of the initial lease term, should the Company decide not to renew the lease, the net book value of the asset and the corresponding financing obligation would be reversed. | |||||||||||||
The outflows from the construction of the buildings are classified as investing activities, and the outflows associated with the financing obligations principal payments and inflows from the associated financing proceeds are classified as financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. | |||||||||||||
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, long-lived assets and in the valuation of store closure and exit costs. | |||||||||||||
The determination of fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets for purposes of our goodwill impairment evaluation as described above is based upon Level 3 inputs. Closed store reserves are recorded at net present value to approximate fair value which is classified as Level 3 in the hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the closed store reserve is calculated based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and other charges using a weighted average cost of capital, reduced by estimated sublease rentals. The weighted average cost of capital is estimated using information from comparable companies and management’s judgment related to the risk associated with the operations of the stores. | |||||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued salaries and benefits and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Based on comparable open market transactions of the Term Loan (as defined in Note 13, “Long-Term Debt”), the fair value of the long-term debt, including current maturities, approximates carrying value as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013. The Company’s estimates of the fair value of long-term debt (including current maturities) were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||
Business Combinations | |||||||||||||
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price paid for an acquisition be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values as of the effective date of the acquisition, with the excess of the purchase price over the net assets being recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related costs are considered separate transactions and are expensed as incurred. Acquisition-related costs related to the Sunflower Transaction in 2012 totaled $3.2 million and are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||
See Note 4, “Business Combinations” for further discussion. | |||||||||||||
Equity-Based Compensation | |||||||||||||
The Company measures equity-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes equity-based compensation cost as expense over the vesting period. As equity-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures and trued up for actual forfeitures. The Company’s forfeiture rate is estimated primarily based on historical data. The actual forfeiture rate could differ from these estimates. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value for each option grant. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires extensive use of subjective assumptions. See Note 23, “Equity-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 equity-based compensation and, consequently, the related amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The grant date fair value of restricted stock units (“RSU“s) is based on the closing price per share of the Company’s 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 is recognized at the point of sale. Discounts provided to customers at the time of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales as the discounted products are sold. Sales taxes are not included in revenue. 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. The Company has not applied a gift card breakage rate. | |||||||||||||
Licensing fees are generated from license agreements related to two former Henry’s stores and are recorded as net sales. | |||||||||||||
Cost of Sales, Buying and Occupancy | |||||||||||||
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, buying costs and supplies. Occupancy costs include store rental, property taxes, utilities, common area maintenance, amortization of favorable or unfavorable leasehold interests and property insurance. 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, buying and occupancy as the inventory is sold. | |||||||||||||
Our largest supplier accounted for approximately 23% of total purchases, expressed as a percentage of our cost of sales, buying and occupancy expense, during both 2014 and 2013. | |||||||||||||
Direct Store Expenses | |||||||||||||
Direct store expenses consist of store-level expenses such as salaries and benefits, related equity-based compensation, supplies, depreciation and amortization for buildings and store leasehold improvements, equipment and other store specific costs. | |||||||||||||
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | |||||||||||||
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits costs, related equity-based compensation, advertising, acquisition-related costs and corporate overhead. | |||||||||||||
The Company charges third-parties to place advertisements in the Company’s in-store guide and newspaper circulars. 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 was as follows: | |||||||||||||
Year Ended | |||||||||||||
December 28, | December 29, | December 30, | |||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||||
Advertising expense | $ | 39,763 | $ | 34,075 | $ | 29,238 | |||||||
Vendor rebates | (13,614 | ) | (12,530 | ) | (9,905 | ) | |||||||
Advertising expense, net of rebates | $ | 26,149 | $ | 21,545 | $ | 19,333 | |||||||
Store Pre-Opening Costs | |||||||||||||
Store pre-opening costs include rent expense during construction of new stores and costs related to new store openings, including costs associated with hiring and training personnel and other miscellaneous costs. Store pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred. | |||||||||||||
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt | |||||||||||||
In 2014, the Company made a voluntary principal payment of $50.0 million and wrote-off $1.1 million of deferred financing costs and original issue discount related to that portion of the Term Loan. | |||||||||||||
In 2013, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $18.2 million primarily related to the write-off of deferred financing costs and issue discount. These write-offs included $1.0 million related to a partial repayment of our Term Loan, $9.0 million related to the August 2013 pay down of debt using proceeds from our IPO and $8.2 million related to the April 2013 Refinancing as defined in Note 13. Additionally, loss on extinguishment of debt for 2013 includes $0.5 million related to the renewal of a financing lease. | |||||||||||||
The Company recorded a $1.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt in 2012 as a result of the renegotiation of a store lease that was classified as a financing lease obligation. | |||||||||||||
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 bases 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. Since becoming a taxable corporation in April 2011, the Company has not recorded any valuation allowances on the Company’s deferred income tax assets. | |||||||||||||
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. | |||||||||||||
In May 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% ownership interest in Sunflower. The acquisition was structured as a tax-free reorganization. The tax basis of the property acquired in reorganization is equal to the basis in the property recorded by Sunflower just prior to the acquisition. The resulting basis difference between the historical tax amounts and the fair values resulted in net deferred tax assets of $1.9 million being recorded through goodwill. | |||||||||||||
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 and RSUs. | |||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income | |||||||||||||
Comprehensive income equals net income for all periods presented. | |||||||||||||
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | |||||||||||||
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force),” which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 405, “Liabilities.” The amendments provide guidance on the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings, for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 and should be applied retrospectively. The provisions were effective from the Company’s first quarter of 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which amends ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASU No. 2013-11 requires that unrecognized tax benefits be classified as an offset to deferred tax assets to the extent of any net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax loss carryforwards, or tax credit carryforwards are available at the reporting date in the applicable tax jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. An exception would apply if the tax law of the tax jurisdiction does not require the Company to use, and it does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The provisions were effective from the Company’s first quarter of 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU No. 2014-08 amends previous guidance related to the criteria for reporting a disposal as a discontinued operation by elevating the threshold for qualification for discontinued operations treatment to a disposal that represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on an organization’s operations or financial results. This guidance also requires expanded disclosures for transactions that qualify as a discontinued operation and requires disclosure of individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale but do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This guidance is effective prospectively for all disposals or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, and estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price attributable to each separate performance obligation. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance. | |||||||||||||
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2014-12, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” The standard requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU No. 2014-15 requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. |

Business Combinations | 4. Business Combinations | ||||
As discussed in Note 1, “Organization and Description of Business” the Company completed the Sunflower Transaction in May 2012. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The primary reason for this transaction was to build a larger portfolio of stores under the Sprouts Farmers Market banner and to derive synergies from the combined operations of the companies. | |||||
In a business combination, the purchase price is allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values, with any excess of purchase price over fair value recognized as goodwill. In addition to reviews of acquired company balance sheets, the Company reviews supply contracts, leases, financial instruments, employment agreements and other significant agreements to identify potential assets or liabilities that require recognition in connection with the application of acquisition accounting under ASC 805. Intangible assets are recognized apart from goodwill when the asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, or is separable from the acquired entity such that it may be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged either on a standalone basis or in combination with a related contract, asset or liability. | |||||
Sunflower Transaction | |||||
As described in Note 1, “Organization and Description of Business,” effective May 29, 2012 the Company acquired all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Sunflower in a transaction financed through issuance of debt by Intermediate Holdings (see Note 13, “Long-Term Debt), and the issuance of 14,898,136 shares. Consideration transferred was determined as follows: | |||||

Cash paid to extinguish Sunflower’s debt, net of cash acquired | 21,358 | ||||
Total purchase price | $ | 219,480 | |||
The fair value of our shares issued in connection with the Sunflower Transaction was determined to be $6.01 per share, the fair value as determined as of the acquisition measurement date, which is the date the Sunflower Transaction closed. | |||||
The Company’s allocation of purchase price in the Sunflower Transaction is as follows: | |||||
Net assets acquired: | |||||

Goodwill | 169,648 | ||||
Total purchase price | $ | 219,480 | |||
Goodwill was attributed to the assembled workforce of Sunflower and synergies expected to be achieved from the combined operations of the Company and Sunflower, primarily related to buying and distribution costs, economies of scale for certain direct store expenses and savings on marketing-related selling costs and corporate overhead. Goodwill recorded in the Sunflower Transaction is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. | |||||
Identifiable intangible assets consist of the following: | |||||
Trade name (10 year useful life) | $ | 1,800 | |||
Liquor licenses (indefinite-lived) | 1,070 | ||||
Favorable leasehold interests (12.3 years weighted average useful life) | 4,546 | ||||
Total intangible assets | $ | 7,416 | |||
Sales and net income of Sunflower totaling $297.8 million and $8.6 million respectively are included in the consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 30, 2012. | |||||
Valuations | |||||
The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to assist management with the valuations of acquired inventory, personal property, real estate, favorable and unfavorable leasehold interests and intangible assets for the Sunflower Transaction. Acquired inventory was recorded at net realizable value, with significant estimates relating to the time expected to dispose of inventory, disposal costs and commensurate profit. Personal property, consisting primarily of leasehold improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment, were valued using the cost method, which requires significant estimates related to replacement costs of acquired personal property, as well as estimates of physical deterioration. Real estate was valued through a combination of income and market approaches and significant estimates underlying these valuations include market comparable pricing and capitalization rates, which the independent valuation firm assisted management in determining. | |||||
The Sunflower trade name was accounted for as a “defensive intangible asset” with an estimated useful life of 10 years from the date of the Sunflower Transaction. Acquired liquor licenses were valued using a cost approach. | |||||

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company determined that certain store level equipment was not being depreciated over the proper useful lives. The Company made an entry resulting in an additional $4.4 million of depreciation expense which was recorded as Direct store expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This error correction was not material to any prior period. Also during the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company determined that qualified store development costs were not being properly deferred as Construction in progress until the time of store opening. This error correction, which was not material to any prior period, resulted in an increase in Construction in progress and a reduction of Direct store expense of $3.6 million in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |

Senior Secured Credit Facilities | |||||||||||||||||
April 2013 Refinancing | |||||||||||||||||
On April 23, 2013, the Company’s subsidiary, Sprouts Farmers Markets Holdings, LLC (“Intermediate Holdings”), as borrower, refinanced (the “April 2013 Refinancing”) the Former Revolving Credit Facility and the Former Term Loan (each, as defined below), by entering into a new credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility provides for a $700.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $60.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). | |||||||||||||||||
The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to repay in full the outstanding Former Term Loan balance of $403.1 million. Such repayment resulted in an $8.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to the write-off of deferred financing costs and original issue discount. No amounts were outstanding under the Former Revolving Credit Facility. The remaining proceeds from the Term Loan, together with cash on hand, were used to make a $282.0 million distribution to the Company’s equity holders, to make payments of $13.9 million to vested option holders and to pay transaction fees and expenses related to the refinancing. | |||||||||||||||||
The terms of the Credit Facility allow the Company, subject to certain conditions, to increase the amount of the term loans and revolving commitments thereunder by an aggregate incremental amount of up to $160.0 million, plus an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to such increase, (i) in the case of incremental loans that rank pari passu with the initial term loans, the net first lien leverage ratio does not exceed 4.00 to 1.00, and (ii) in the case of incremental loans that rank junior to the initial Term Loan, the total leverage ratio does not exceed 5.25 to 1.00. | |||||||||||||||||
Guarantees | |||||||||||||||||
Obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and all of its current and future wholly owned material domestic subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by (i) a pledge by Sprouts of its equity interests in Intermediate Holdings and (ii) first-priority liens on substantially all assets of Intermediate Holdings and the subsidiary guarantors, in each case, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions. | |||||||||||||||||
Voluntary Prepayments on Term Loan | |||||||||||||||||
On August 14, 2014, the Company made a $50.0 million voluntary principal payment on the Term Loan. Such payment resulted in a $1.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to the write-off of deferred financing costs and original issue discount for the portion of the debt repaid. This loss on extinguishment of debt is reflected in the Company’s statements of operations for the year ended December 28, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
On December 27, 2013, the Company made a $40.0 million voluntary principal payment on the Term Loan. Such repayment resulted in a $1.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to the write-off of deferred financing costs and original issue discount for the portion of the debt repaid. This loss on extinguishment of debt is reflected in the Company’s statement of operations for the year ended December 29, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
As of December 28, 2014, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan was $256.4 million, net of issue discount of $4.9 million. Financing fees and issue discount are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Term Loan. | |||||||||||||||||
Term Loan and Partial Repayment in IPO | |||||||||||||||||
On August 6, 2013, the Company used $340.0 million of the net proceeds from its IPO to make a partial repayment of the Term Loan. Such repayment resulted in a $9.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to the write-off of deferred financing costs and original issue discount for the portion of the debt repaid. This loss on extinguishment of debt is reflected in the Company’s statement of operations for the year ended December 29, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
Interest and Applicable Margin | |||||||||||||||||
All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR (with a 1.00% floor with respect to Eurodollar borrowings under the Term Loan), adjusted for statutory reserves, plus a margin equal to 3.00%, or an alternate base rate, plus a margin equal to 2.00%, as set forth in the Credit Facility. These interest margins were reduced to their current levels (from 3.50% and 2.50%, respectively) effective August 2, 2013, as a result of (i) the consummation of the Company’s IPO, and (ii) the Company achieving a reduction in the net first lien leverage ratio to less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. | |||||||||||||||||
Payments and Prepayments | |||||||||||||||||
The Term Loan will mature in April 2020 and will amortize at a rate per annum, in four equal quarterly installments, in an aggregate amount equal to 1.00% of the original principal balance, with the balance due on the maturity date. | |||||||||||||||||
Subject to exceptions set forth therein, the Credit Facility requires mandatory prepayments in amounts equal to (i) 50% (reduced to 25% if net first lien leverage is less than 3.00 to 1.00 but greater than 2.50 to 1.00 and 0% if net first lien leverage is less than 2.50 to 1.00) of excess cash flow (as defined in the Credit Facility) at the end of each fiscal year, (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from certain non-ordinary course asset sales by the Company or any subsidiary guarantor (subject to certain exceptions and reinvestment provisions) and (iii) 100% of the net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of debt by the Company or any of its subsidiaries not permitted under the Credit Facility. | |||||||||||||||||
Voluntary prepayments of borrowings under the Credit Facility are permitted at any time, in agreed-upon minimum principal amounts and are not subject to premium or penalty (except LIBOR breakage costs, if applicable). | |||||||||||||||||
Revolving Credit Facility | |||||||||||||||||
The Credit Facility includes a $60.0 million Revolving Credit Facility which matures in April 2018. The Revolving Credit Facility includes letter of credit and $5.0 million swingline loan subfacilities. Letters of credit issued under the facility reduce the borrowing capacity on the total facility. There are no amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility at December 28, 2014. Letters of credit totaling $7.4 million have been issued as of December 28, 2014 primarily to support the Company’s insurance programs. Amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facility at December 28, 2014 totaled $52.6 million. | |||||||||||||||||
Interest terms on the Revolving Credit Facility are the same as the Term Loan. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $1.1 million related to the Revolving Credit Facility, which are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility. | |||||||||||||||||
Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company is obligated to pay a commitment fee on the available unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility commitments equal to 0.50% per annum. | |||||||||||||||||
Covenants | |||||||||||||||||
The Credit Facility contains financial, affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on the Company’s ability to: | |||||||||||||||||
• | incur additional indebtedness; | ||||||||||||||||
• | grant additional liens; | ||||||||||||||||
• | enter into sale-leaseback transactions; | ||||||||||||||||
• | make loans or investments; | ||||||||||||||||

• | enter into transactions with affiliates; | ||||||||||||||||
• | enter into new lines of business; | ||||||||||||||||
• | modify the terms of subordinated debt or other material agreements; and | ||||||||||||||||
• | change its fiscal year | ||||||||||||||||
Each of these covenants is subject to customary or agreed-upon exceptions, baskets and thresholds. | |||||||||||||||||
In addition, if the Company has any amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility as of the last day of any fiscal quarter, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the borrower to maintain a ratio of Revolving Facility Credit exposure to consolidated trailing 12-month EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Facility) of no more than 0.75 to 1.00 as of the end of each such fiscal quarter. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Credit Facility as of December 28, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
Former Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility | |||||||||||||||||
On April 18, 2011, the Company, through a subsidiary, entered into senior secured credit facilities (“Former Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The Former Senior Secured Credit Facilities included a $310.0 million term loan (“Former Term Loan”) and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (“Former Revolving Credit Facility”). | |||||||||||||||||
During April 2012, the Company amended the Former Senior Secured Credit Facilities and used the incremental commitments provision to borrow an additional $100.0 million, net of financing fees of $0.5 million and issue discount of $2.7 million, and used the proceeds to effectuate the Sunflower Transaction in May 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
In connection with the April 2013 Refinancing, the Company repaid the Former Term Loan in its entirety and recorded a related $8.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt as reflected in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 29, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||
Between 2011 and 2012, the Company capitalized $1.8 million of debt issuance costs (financing fees), which were being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. Additionally, $16.7 million of lender fees were reflected as a discount on the Former Term Loan and were being charged to interest expense over the term of the Former Term Loan. | |||||||||||||||||
Senior Subordinated Promissory Notes | |||||||||||||||||
In May 2012, the Company issued $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10.0% senior subordinated promissory notes (“Senior Subordinated Promissory Notes”). Interest accrued at 10.0% annually for the first three years, increasing by 1.0% each year thereafter. | |||||||||||||||||
On May 31, 2013, the Company repaid the entire balance of $35.0 million of outstanding Senior Subordinated Promissory Notes and paid $0.3 million of interest accrued to date. |

General Liability and Workers’ Compensation | |
The Company carries insurance policies for general liability and workers’ compensation to minimize the risk of loss due to accident, injury and commercial liability claims resulting from its operations, and to comply with certain legal and contractual requirements. | |
The Company retains certain levels of exposure in its self-insurance programs and purchases coverage from third-party insurers for exposures in excess of those levels. In addition to expensing premiums and other costs relating to excess coverage, the Company establishes reserves for claims, both reported and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”). IBNR claims are estimated using historical claim information, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. See Note 12, “Other Accrued Liabilities,” and Note 14, “Other Long-Term Liabilities” for amounts recorded for general liability and workers’ compensation liabilities. | |
Medical | |
The Company is self-insured for medical claims up to certain stop-loss limits. Such costs are accrued based on known claims and an estimate of IBNR claims. IBNR claims are estimated using historical claim information, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. At December 29, 2013, the Company had recorded a $1.1 million receivable from its medical insurance carrier for payments made in excess of aggregate stop-loss limits. The Company received payment for the 2013 receivable during 2014. No receivable was recorded as of December 28, 2014 as the aggregate stop-loss limit was not exceeded. | |
The estimated accruals for the self-insurance liabilities could be significantly affected if future occurrences and claims differ from historical trends. |

Additions made during 2014 relate to the closure and relocation of one store and to the closure and relocation of the Texas warehouse, and usage during 2014 relates to lease payments made during the period for closed stores. Adjustments made during 2014 include a $0.4 million favorable reserve adjustment due to a sublease for the Sunflower administrative office and a $1.2 million favorable reserve adjustment for one store due to settlement with the landlord. Also during 2014, the Company determined that it should have been recording accretion expense for store closure reserves and made a correcting entry of $0.9 million to adjust the liability for closed stores to include such accretion for prior periods. The effect of this error on the Company’s financial statements was not material to any prior period. Store closure and exit costs for 2013 include charges related to the closure of a former Sunflower warehouse, and adjustments to sublease estimates for stores and facilities already closed. |

Excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises are credited to stockholders’ equity. The Company uses the tax law ordering approach of intraperiod allocation to allocate the benefit of windfall tax benefits based on provisions in the tax law that identify the sequence in which those amounts are utilized for tax purposes. The income tax benefits resulting from stock awards that were credited to stockholders’ equity were $47.3 million, $17.8 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 28, 2014, December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. The income tax benefit for the year ended December 28, 2014 included $1.4 million of income tax benefits related to stock award activity in 2013. The excess tax benefits are not credited to stockholders’ equity until the deduction reduces income taxes payable. | |||||||||||||

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. | |||||||||||||
If realized, $0.1 million of net operating loss carry forwards will be recognized as a benefit through additional paid-in capital. 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 Company has evaluated all available positive and negative evidence and believes it is probable that the deferred tax assets will be realized and has not recorded a valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013. | |||||||||||||

As of December 28, 2014, 9,232,525 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2013 Incentive Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
2011 Option Plan | |||||||||||||||||
In May 2011, the Company adopted the Sprouts Farmers Markets, LLC Option Plan (the “2011 Option Plan”) to provide team members or directors of the Company with options to acquire shares of the Company. The Company had authorized 12,100,000 shares for issuance under the 2011 Option Plan. Options may no longer be issued under the 2011 Option Plan. | |||||||||||||||||
During 2013, the Company awarded 209,000 options to team members under the 2011 Option Plan at exercise prices of $9.15 and grant date fair values of $2.33 to $3.10. | |||||||||||||||||
Prior to the IPO, options were granted to certain team members at a price determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The maximum contractual term for such options was seven years.

Time-based options generally vest ratably over a period of 12 quarters (three years) and performance-based options vest over a period of three years based on financial performance targets set for each year. Vesting schedules of future grants may differ. In the event of a change in control as defined in the 2013 Incentive Plan and 2011 Option Plan, all options become immediately vested and exercisable. | |||||||||||||||||
Shares issued for option exercises are newly issued shares. | |||||||||||||||||

Expected volatility is calculated based upon historical volatility data from a group of comparable companies over a timeframe 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. | |||||||||||||||||

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 years 2014, 2013, and 2012 ended on December 28, 2014, December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively, and included 52-weeks. Fiscal years 2014, 2013, and 2012 are referred to as 2014, 2013, and 2012. | |||||||||||||
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 included, but are not limited to: inventory valuations, lease assumptions, sublease assumptions for closed stores, self-insurance reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets, fair values of equity-based awards 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 purchased 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 these financial institutions may, from time to time, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (“FDIC”) federally insured limits. All credit and debit card transactions are also classified as cash and cash equivalents. The amounts due from banks for these transactions at each reporting date were as follows: | |||||||||||||
As Of | |||||||||||||
December 28, | December 29, | ||||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||||||||
Due from banks for debit and credit card transactions | $ | 31,750 | $ | 20,463 | |||||||||
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable | ||||||||||||
Accounts receivable generally represent billings to vendors for earned rebates and other items and landlords for tenant allowances. When a specific account is determined uncollectible, the net recognized receivable is written off. | |||||||||||||
Inventories | Inventories | ||||||||||||
Inventories consist of merchandise purchased for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost or market. The cost method is used for warehouse 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 market using weighted averaging and other estimation techniques, the use of which approximates the FIFO method. | |||||||||||||
The Company believes that all inventories are saleable and no allowances or reserves for shrinkage or obsolescence were recorded as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013. | |||||||||||||
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 are capitalized, while 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 operations. Depreciation expense, which includes the amortization of assets recorded under capital and financing leases, is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the individual assets. Leasehold improvements and assets under capital and financing leases are amortized over the shorter of the lease term to which they relate, or the estimated useful life of the asset. 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 assured. | |||||||||||||
The following table includes the estimated useful lives of asset classes: | |||||||||||||
Software and used equipment | 3 years | ||||||||||||
Computer hardware | 5 years | ||||||||||||
Furniture, fixtures and equipment | 7 years | ||||||||||||
Leasehold improvements | up to 15 years | ||||||||||||
Buildings | 40 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. Certain project costs, including general site selection costs that cannot be identified with a specific store location, are charged to direct store expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||
Asset Retirement Obligations | Asset Retirement Obligations | ||||||||||||
The Company’s asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) are related to the Company’s commitment to return leased facilities to the landlord in an agreed upon condition. This may require actions ranging from cleaning to removal of leasehold improvements. The obligation is recorded as a liability with an offsetting capital asset at the inception of the lease term based upon the estimated fair market value of costs to meet the commitment. The liability, included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, is accreted over time to the projected future value of the obligation. The ARO asset, included in property and equipment in the consolidated balance sheets, is depreciated using the same useful life as the related property. | |||||||||||||
A reconciliation of the ARO liability is as follows: | |||||||||||||

Ending balance | $ | 2,952 | $ | 2,575 | |||||||||
Closed Store Reserve | Closed Store Reserve | ||||||||||||
The Company recognizes a reserve for future operating lease payments and other occupancy costs associated with facilities that are no longer being utilized in its current operations. The reserve is recorded based on the present value of the remaining noncancelable lease payments and estimates of other occupancy costs after the cease use date less an estimate of subtenant income. If subtenant income is expected to be higher than the lease payments, no accrual is recorded. Lease payments and other occupancy costs included in the closed store reserve are expected to be paid over the remaining terms of the respective leases. Adjustments to the closed store reserve relate primarily to changes in actual or estimated subtenant income and actual lease payments and other occupancy costs from original estimates. Adjustments are made for changes in estimates in the period in which the change becomes known considering timing of new information regarding the market, subleases or other lease updates. Adjustments in the closed store reserves are recorded in “store closure and exit costs” in the consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||
Self-Insurance Reserves | Self-Insurance Reserves | ||||||||||||
The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance programs to provide reserves for potential liabilities associated with general liability, workers’ compensation and team member health benefits. Liabilities for self-insurance reserves are estimated through consideration of various factors, which include historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. | |||||||||||||
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” and liquor licenses. The Company also holds intangible assets with finite useful lives, consisting of favorable and unfavorable leasehold interests and the “Sunflower Farmers Market” trade name. | |||||||||||||
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis on the first day of 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 a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company’s qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis is required and goodwill is not impaired. Otherwise, the Company follows a two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test to determine if goodwill is impaired. The first step of the quantitative goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, no further analysis or impairment of goodwill is required. If the carrying value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit would be allocated to the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities based on the relative fair value, with goodwill written down to its implied fair value, if necessary. | |||||||||||||
Indefinite-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis on the first day of 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 for its indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of a qualitative assessment similar to that for goodwill. If the Company’s qualitative assessment indicates it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset 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 can elect to bypass the qualitative assessments approach for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and proceed directly to the quantitative assessments for goodwill or any indefinite-lived intangible assets in any period. The Company can resume the qualitative assessment approach in future periods. | |||||||||||||
The Company has determined its business consists of a single reporting unit. When applying the quantitative test, the Company determines the fair value of its reporting unit using the income approach methodology of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method as well as other generally accepted valuation methodologies. | |||||||||||||
The Company completed its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment evaluations as of the first day of the fourth quarter and concluded during 2014, 2013 and 2012 that there was no impairment. The Company also concluded that events and circumstances continued to support classifying its indefinite-lived intangible assets as such. See Note 8, “Intangible Assets” and Note 9, “Goodwill” for further discussion. | |||||||||||||
The trade name related to “Sunflower Farmers Market” meets the definition of a defensive intangible asset and is amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 10 years from the date of its acquisition by the Company. Favorable and unfavorable leasehold interests are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. | |||||||||||||
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | ||||||||||||
The Company assesses its long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. 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. Factors which may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance relative to the historical or projected future operating results of the store or a significant negative industry or economic trend. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. 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 is estimated based on the discounted future cash flows or comparable market values, if available. The Company did not record any impairment loss during 2014, 2013 and 2012. | |||||||||||||
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 Revolving Credit Facility, 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 consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||||||
Operating Leases | Operating Leases | ||||||||||||
The Company leases stores, warehouse facilities and administrative offices under operating leases. | |||||||||||||
Incentives received from lessors are deferred and recorded as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term using the straight-line method. The current portion of unamortized lease incentives is included in Other accrued liabilities and the noncurrent portion is included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. | |||||||||||||
Store lease agreements generally include rent abatements and rent escalation provisions and may include contingent rent provisions based on a percentage of sales in excess of specified levels. The Company recognizes escalations of minimum rents and/or abatements as deferred rent and amortizes these balances on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. | |||||||||||||
For lease agreements that require the payment of contingent rents based on a percentage of sales above stipulated minimums, the Company begins accruing an estimate for contingent rent when it is determined that it is probable the specified levels of sales in excess of the stipulated minimums will be reached during the year. The Company accrued $1.6 million, $1.4 million and $0.9 million for the years ended December 28, 2014, December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively for contingent rent. | |||||||||||||
Financing Lease Obligations | Financing Lease Obligations | ||||||||||||
The Company has recorded financing lease obligations for 38 store building leases at both December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013. In each case, the Company was deemed to be the owner during the construction period under lease accounting guidance. Further, each lease contains provisions indicating continuing involvement with the property at the end of the construction period, which include either an affiliate guaranty or contingent collateral. As a result, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, buildings and related assets subject to the leases are reflected on the Company’s balance sheets and depreciated over their remaining useful lives. The present value of the lease payments associated with these buildings is recorded as financing lease obligations. | |||||||||||||
At December 28, 2014 the Company has also recorded a current financing lease obligation and related construction in progress totaling $25.0 million for one of its administrative facilities under the lease accounting guidance noted above. However, the Company expects that there will be no continuing involvement provisions in effect at the end of the construction period and therefore will be able to remove the asset and corresponding financing lease obligation at the end of the construction period in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. | |||||||||||||
Monthly lease payments are allocated between the land element of the lease (which is accounted for as an operating lease) and the financing obligation. The financing obligation is amortized using the effective interest method and the interest rate is determined in accordance with the requirements of sale-leaseback accounting. Lease payments less the portion allocated to the land element of the lease and that portion considered to be interest expense decrease the financing liability. At the end of the initial lease term, should the Company decide not to renew the lease, the net book value of the asset and the corresponding financing obligation would be reversed. | |||||||||||||
The outflows from the construction of the buildings are classified as investing activities, and the outflows associated with the financing obligations principal payments and inflows from the associated financing proceeds are classified as financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. | |||||||||||||
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, long-lived assets and in the valuation of store closure and exit costs. | |||||||||||||
The determination of fair values of certain tangible and intangible assets for purposes of our goodwill impairment evaluation as described above is based upon Level 3 inputs. Closed store reserves are recorded at net present value to approximate fair value which is classified as Level 3 in the hierarchy. The estimated fair value of the closed store reserve is calculated based on the present value of the remaining lease payments and other charges using a weighted average cost of capital, reduced by estimated sublease rentals. The weighted average cost of capital is estimated using information from comparable companies and management’s judgment related to the risk associated with the operations of the stores. | |||||||||||||
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued salaries and benefits and other accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Based on comparable open market transactions of the Term Loan (as defined in Note 13, “Long-Term Debt”), the fair value of the long-term debt, including current maturities, approximates carrying value as of December 28, 2014 and December 29, 2013. The Company’s estimates of the fair value of long-term debt (including current maturities) were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||
Business Combinations | Business Combinations | ||||||||||||
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that the purchase price paid for an acquisition be allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their estimated fair values as of the effective date of the acquisition, with the excess of the purchase price over the net assets being recorded as goodwill. Acquisition-related costs are considered separate transactions and are expensed as incurred. Acquisition-related costs related to the Sunflower Transaction in 2012 totaled $3.2 million and are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. | |||||||||||||
See Note 4, “Business Combinations” for further discussion. | |||||||||||||
Equity-Based Compensation | Equity-Based Compensation | ||||||||||||
The Company measures equity-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes equity-based compensation cost as expense over the vesting period. As equity-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of expense has been reduced for estimated forfeitures and trued up for actual forfeitures. The Company’s forfeiture rate is estimated primarily based on historical data. The actual forfeiture rate could differ from these estimates. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the grant date fair value for each option grant. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model requires extensive use of subjective assumptions. See Note 23, “Equity-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 equity-based compensation and, consequently, the related amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The grant date fair value of restricted stock units (“RSU“s) is based on the closing price per share of the Company’s 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 | ||||||||||||
Revenue is recognized at the point of sale. Discounts provided to customers at the time of sale are recognized as a reduction in sales as the discounted products are sold. Sales taxes are not included in revenue. 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. The Company has not applied a gift card breakage rate. | |||||||||||||
Licensing fees are generated from license agreements related to two former Henry’s stores and are recorded as net sales. | |||||||||||||
Cost of Sales, Buying and Occupancy | Cost of Sales, Buying and Occupancy | ||||||||||||
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, buying costs and supplies. Occupancy costs include store rental, property taxes, utilities, common area maintenance, amortization of favorable or unfavorable leasehold interests and property insurance. 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, buying and occupancy as the inventory is sold. | |||||||||||||
Our largest supplier accounted for approximately 23% of total purchases, expressed as a percentage of our cost of sales, buying and occupancy expense, during both 2014 and 2013. | |||||||||||||
Direct Store Expenses | Direct Store Expenses | ||||||||||||
Direct store expenses consist of store-level expenses such as salaries and benefits, related equity-based compensation, supplies, depreciation and amortization for buildings and store leasehold improvements, equipment and other store specific costs. | |||||||||||||
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | Selling, General and Administrative Expenses | ||||||||||||
Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits costs, related equity-based compensation, advertising, acquisition-related costs and corporate overhead. | |||||||||||||
The Company charges third-parties to place advertisements in the Company’s in-store guide and newspaper circulars. 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 was as follows: | |||||||||||||

Store Pre-Opening Costs | Store Pre-Opening Costs | ||||||||||||
Store pre-opening costs include rent expense during construction of new stores and costs related to new store openings, including costs associated with hiring and training personnel and other miscellaneous costs. Store pre-opening costs are expensed as incurred. | |||||||||||||
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt | Loss on Extinguishment of Debt | ||||||||||||
In 2014, the Company made a voluntary principal payment of $50.0 million and wrote-off $1.1 million of deferred financing costs and original issue discount related to that portion of the Term Loan. | |||||||||||||
In 2013, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $18.2 million primarily related to the write-off of deferred financing costs and issue discount. These write-offs included $1.0 million related to a partial repayment of our Term Loan, $9.0 million related to the August 2013 pay down of debt using proceeds from our IPO and $8.2 million related to the April 2013 Refinancing as defined in Note 13. Additionally, loss on extinguishment of debt for 2013 includes $0.5 million related to the renewal of a financing lease. | |||||||||||||
The Company recorded a $1.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt in 2012 as a result of the renegotiation of a store lease that was classified as a financing lease obligation. | |||||||||||||
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 bases 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. Since becoming a taxable corporation in April 2011, the Company has not recorded any valuation allowances on the Company’s deferred income tax assets. | |||||||||||||
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. | |||||||||||||
In May 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of a 100% ownership interest in Sunflower. The acquisition was structured as a tax-free reorganization. The tax basis of the property acquired in reorganization is equal to the basis in the property recorded by Sunflower just prior to the acquisition. The resulting basis difference between the historical tax amounts and the fair values resulted in net deferred tax assets of $1.9 million being recorded through goodwill. | |||||||||||||
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 and RSUs. | |||||||||||||
Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive Income | ||||||||||||
Comprehensive income equals net income for all periods presented. | |||||||||||||
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | ||||||||||||
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force),” which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 405, “Liabilities.” The amendments provide guidance on the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings, for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 and should be applied retrospectively. The provisions were effective from the Company’s first quarter of 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which amends ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASU No. 2013-11 requires that unrecognized tax benefits be classified as an offset to deferred tax assets to the extent of any net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax loss carryforwards, or tax credit carryforwards are available at the reporting date in the applicable tax jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position. An exception would apply if the tax law of the tax jurisdiction does not require the Company to use, and it does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The provisions were effective from the Company’s first quarter of 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU No. 2014-08 amends previous guidance related to the criteria for reporting a disposal as a discontinued operation by elevating the threshold for qualification for discontinued operations treatment to a disposal that represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on an organization’s operations or financial results. This guidance also requires expanded disclosures for transactions that qualify as a discontinued operation and requires disclosure of individually significant components that are disposed of or held for sale but do not qualify for discontinued operations reporting. This guidance is effective prospectively for all disposals or components initially classified as held for sale in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU No. 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, and estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price attributable to each separate performance obligation. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance. | |||||||||||||
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2014-12, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” The standard requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU No. 2014-15 requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. This guidance will be effective for the Company for its fiscal year 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. |

-1 | At December 28, 2014 the Company has also recorded a current financing lease obligation and related construction in progress totaling $25.0 million for one of its administrative facilities as it was deemed the owner during the construction period under lease accounting guidance. However, the Company expects that there will be no continuing involvement provisions in effect at the end of the construction period and therefore will be able to remove the asset and corresponding financing lease obligation at the end of the construction period in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and therefore has not included the lease obligation in the future lease payment schedule above. |
