Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Description of business
Savers Value Village, Inc., a Washington State based company, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), sells secondhand merchandise primarily in retail stores located in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and Australia. Items that are unsuited for or unsold at retail stores are marketed to wholesale customers.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 29, 2025 and for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, have not been audited but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 28, 2024, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, and related notes included in the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2025. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year, which ends on the Saturday nearest to December 31.
All dollar and share amounts in the notes to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, with the exception of per share amounts, are rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise indicated.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024.
Use of estimates
The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These estimates are based on available information and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Certain items subject to such estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the valuation of insurance reserves, impairment assessments associated with our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, and income taxes. Actual results could vary from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue recognition
The following table disaggregates our revenue by retail and wholesale for the periods presented:
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | March 29, 2025 | March 30, 2024 |
| Retail sales | $350,759 | $336,795 |
| Wholesale sales | 19,386 | 17,377 |

Note 3.2 Peaches Acquisition
On May 6, 2024, the Company acquired all of the equity of 2 Peaches Group, LLC (“2 Peaches”) for $5.4 million, which was comprised of cash consideration of $3.5 million, including a holdback of $0.5 million, and acquisition-related contingent consideration with an initial fair value of $1.9 million (the “2 Peaches Acquisition”). 2 Peaches is a thrift store chain with seven locations in the Atlanta, Georgia, metropolitan area. The acquired stores are the Company’s first locations in the state of Georgia and will serve as a base for the Company’s entrance and expansion into the southeast region of the U.S.
The acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangement with an initial fair value of $1.9 million requires us to make a future cash payment of up to $2.7 million upon achievement of specific milestones; the associated liability is classified in other liabilities in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 5. Fair Value Measurements for information on the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration.
Note 4. Debt
Long-term debt consisted of the following:
| (in thousands) | March 29, 2025 | December 28, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Senior Secured Notes | $401,000 | $445,500 |
| Term Loan Facility | 315,756 | 315,756 |
| Total face value of debt | 716,756 | 761,256 |
| Less: current portion of long-term debt | — | 6,000 |
| Less: unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount | 17,478 | 20,123 |
| Long-term debt, net | $699,278 | $735,133 |
On February 6, 2025, the Company redeemed $44.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, equal to 10% of the outstanding balance at December 28, 2024. In addition to paying accrued interest, the Company paid a premium of 3%, or $1.3 million, on the partial redemption. This transaction resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.7 million.
As of March 29, 2025, there wereno advances on the Revolving Credit Facility, there were $0.9 million of letters of credit outstanding and $124.1 million was available to borrow.
Note 5. Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes fair value measurements for its financial assets and financial liabilities and fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value is based upon a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Recurring fair value measurements
The following table presents financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 29, 2025:
| Fair Value Hierarchy | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| Assets: | ||||
| Money market funds | $11,000 | $— | $— | $11,000 |
| Forward contracts | — | 3,045 | — | 3,045 |
| Total | $11,000 | $3,045 | $— | $14,045 |
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Acquisition-related contingent consideration | $— | $— | $1,674 | $1,674 |
The following table presents financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 28, 2024:
| Fair Value Hierarchy | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| Assets: | ||||
| Money market funds | $57,000 | $— | $— | $57,000 |
| Forward contracts | — | 4,574 | — | 4,574 |
| Total | $57,000 | $4,574 | $— | $61,574 |
| Liabilities: | ||||
| Acquisition-related contingent consideration | $— | $— | $2,000 | $2,000 |
Money market funds, consisting of short-term deposits with an original maturity of three months or less, are valued based on quoted market prices of identical assets and are classified within level 1. Forward contracts are fair valued using independent valuation services, and the valuations are based on observable market data. As such, the forward contracts are classified within Level 2. The Company reviews the independent valuation and obtains an understanding of the methods used in pricing the instruments.
The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability is measured using the probability-weighted present value of the potential payment. The probability-weighted present value of the potential payment is based on significant unobservable inputs, including management estimates and assumptions. Accordingly, the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration has been classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 inputs used in the fair value measurement of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability as of March 29, 2025:
| Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration Liability | Valuation Technique | Unobservable Input | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potential payment | Probability-weighted present value | Probability of payment | 0% - 100% |
| Discount rate | 9.7% | ||
| Projected years of payments | 2026 - 2027 | ||
The following table provides a reconciliation of the acquisition-related contingent consideration liability measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs:
| (in thousands) | |
|---|---|
| Balance at December 28, 2024 | $2,000 |
| Change in fair value recorded in selling, general and administrative | (326) |
| Balance at March 29, 2025 | $1,674 |
Other fair value disclosures
The fair value of the Company’s Senior Secured Notes, based on Level 1 inputs, was $417.7 million and $467.6 million at March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. The fair value of borrowings under the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities approximate their carrying value as the current rates approximate rates on similar debt and were based on rate notices provided by the Administrative Agent (Level 2 inputs) at March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024.
Note 6. Derivative Financial Instruments
As a result of its operating and financing activities, the Company is exposed to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. These market risks may adversely affect the Company’s operating results, cash flows and financial position. The Company seeks to manage risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates through the use of forward contracts or cross currency swaps or both, and from time to time, may use interest rate swaps to manage the risk of changes in interest rates. The Company’s forward contracts are not collateralized and are entered into with large, reputable financial institutions that are monitored for counterparty risk. Refer to Note 5. Fair Value Measurements for information on the fair value of our derivative financial instruments.
Foreign currency contracts
The Company operates in foreign countries, which exposes it to market risk associated with foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company uses forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in the U.S. dollar (“USD”) – Canadian dollar (“CAD”) and may also use cross currency swaps for the same reason. Forward contracts lock in the exchange rate for a portion of the estimated cash flows of the Company’s Canadian operations. As of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company’s forward contracts had USD equivalent notional amounts of $103.9 million and $102.5 million, respectively. In April 2024, the Company terminated its cross currency swaps, resulting in net proceeds of $28.1 million. These cross currency swaps were not designated in hedging relationships.
Interest rate swap contracts
The Company’s market risk is affected by changes in interest rates. The Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest based on market rates plus an applicable margin. Because the interest rate on the Company’s floating-rate debt is tied to market rates, the Company may from time to time manage its exposure to interest rate movements by effectively converting a portion of its floating-rate debt to fixed-rate debt using interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps, as used by the Company, involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company previously entered into two interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges. In April 2024, the Company terminated its interest rate swaps, resulting in net proceeds of $10.3 million. All amounts deferred into accumulated other comprehensive income prior to termination will be amortized to interest expense through May 2025, being the original maturity date of the interest rate swaps.
The fair value of forward contracts were as follows:
| (in thousands) | Balance Sheet Location | March 29, 2025 | December 28, 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments | Derivative asset – current | $3,045 | $4,574 |
The impact of derivative financial instruments on the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss was as follows:
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | ||

| (in thousands) | March 29, 2025 | March 30, 2024 |
| Loss (gain) on forward contracts recognized in (gain) loss on foreign currency, net | $345 | $(271) |
| Gain on cross currency swaps recognized in (gain) loss on foreign currency, net | $— | $(5,614) |
| Gain on interest rate swaps recognized in interest expense, net | $(2,636) | $(3,024) |
The table below presents the effect of cash flow hedge accounting on other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax:
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | March 29, 2025 | March 30, 2024 |
| Gain recognized in other comprehensive loss | $— | $2,199 |
| Gain reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into net loss | $2,636 | $3,024 |
As of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company’s total deferred gain in accumulated other comprehensive income in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was $1.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively. Amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into net loss are recognized in interest expense, net in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss. Within the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $1.8 million of gains recognized within accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified as a decrease in interest expense, net.
Note 7. Segments
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assesses segment performance and makes resource allocation decisions based on the geographies in which it conducts its retail operations, and separately for its wholesale operations, each of which represents an operating segment. For disclosure purposes, U.S. Retail and Canada Retail were determined to be reportable segments. Neither the Company’s retail operations in Australia nor its wholesale operations meet the quantitative thresholds to be reported separately and since they do not share similar economic characteristics, they have been combined and disclosed within Other Profit. We do not separately present assets for our reportable segments because the Company’s CODM is not provided these amounts.
General corporate expenses include unallocated corporate overhead recorded in salaries, wages and benefits, and selling, general and administrative in the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company revised its calculation of segment profit to include, among other things, lease expense as recognized under Topic 842, consistent with the information provided to the CODM. Previously, segment profit included cash-basis rent. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect this change, resulting in a decrease in segment profit of $1.2 million for the U.S. Retail segment and $0.8 million for the Canada Retail segment for the thirteen weeks ended March 30, 2024.
Segment profit may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to our GAAP measures of operating income, net loss or cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of the Company’s performance or as a measure of its liquidity.
Our segment results are presented in the tables below. In each table, “Other profit” is attributable to the Australia Retail and Wholesale operating segments which have been combined.

Note 8. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding for the period under the treasury stock method.
Basic and diluted net loss per share were as follows:
| Thirteen Weeks Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands, except per share data) | March 29, 2025 | March 30, 2024 |
| Numerator | ||
| Net loss | $(4,723) | $(467) |
| Denominator | ||
| Basic weighted average shares outstanding | 158,584 | 161,247 |
| Dilutive effect of employee stock options and awards | — | — |
| Diluted weighted average shares outstanding (1) | 158,584 | 161,247 |
| Net loss per share | ||
| Basic | $(0.03) | $(0.00) |
| Diluted | $(0.03) | $(0.00) |
(1)For the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, the calculation of diluted net loss per share excludes the effect of 12.6 million and 8.1 million, respectively, of potential shares of common stock relating to awards of stock options and restricted stock units that, if exercised or vested, would have been antidilutive.
Note 9. Share Repurchases
During the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025, under our $50.0 million share repurchase program announced in November 2023, we repurchased 1.4 million shares at a weighted average price of $8.43 per share at a cost of $11.8 million, excluding the impact of commissions and excise tax on share repurchases. As of March 29, 2025, we had $6.4 million remaining under the share repurchase program. The share repurchase program does not obligate us to purchase any minimum number of shares, and the program may be suspended, modified, or discontinued at any time without prior notice. The timing, actual number and value of any additional shares purchased will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the market price of the Company’s common stock, general business and market conditions, other investment opportunities, and applicable regulatory requirements.
Note 10. Income Taxes
The income tax provision for interim periods is generally determined using an estimate of the Company’s annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items. Each quarter the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the Company’s estimated tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made.
The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 was 16.6% and 90.6%, respectively. The effective tax rates differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to stock-based compensation and Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) excess compensation.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (“OECD”) proposed model rules to ensure a minimal level of taxation (commonly referred to as Pillar II) and the European Union member states have agreed to implement Pillar II’s proposed global corporate minimum tax rate of 15%. We considered the applicable tax law changes from Pillar II implementation in the relevant countries in which we operate, and there is no material impact to our tax provision for the thirteen weeks ended March 29, 2025. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these tax law changes in future reporting periods.
Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation and regulatory matters
The Company is involved from time to time in claims, proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company has made accruals with respect to these matters, where appropriate, which are reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. For some matters, the amount of liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore accruals have not been made. The Company may enter into discussions regarding settlement of these matters and may enter into settlement agreements, if in the best interest of the Company. From time to time, the Company is involved in routine litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. There are no pending significant legal proceedings to which the Company is a party for which management believes the ultimate outcome would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.
