Savers Value Village, Inc.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are made in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided thereunder. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “could,” “may,” “might,” “will,” “likely,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “continues,” “projects” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. In particular, statements about the markets in which we operate, including competition, growth and trends in our markets and industry; our strategies, outcomes and prospects; our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, assumptions; and future events or performance made in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, the Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:

•the impact on both the supply and demand for our products caused by general economic conditions, such as the macroeconomic pressures in Canada and/or the U.S., and changes in consumer confidence and spending;

•our ability to anticipate consumer demand and to source and process a sufficient quantity of quality secondhand items at attractive prices on a recurring basis;

•risks related to attracting new, and retaining existing customers, including by increasing acceptance of secondhand items among new and growing customer demographics;

•risks associated with our status as a “brick and mortar” only retailer and our lack of operations in the growing online retail marketplace;

•our failure to open new profitable stores or successfully enter new markets on a timely basis or at all;

•risks associated with conducting business internationally, including challenges related to serving customers that are international manufacturers and suppliers, such as transportation and shipping challenges, regulatory risks in foreign jurisdictions (particularly in Canada, where we maintain extensive operations) and exchange rate risks, which we may not choose to fully hedge;

•the loss of, or disruption or interruption in the operations of, our centralized processing centers and other offsite processing locations;

•risks associated with litigation, the expense of defense, and the potential for adverse outcomes;

•our failure to properly hire and to retain key personnel and other qualified personnel or to manage labor costs;

•risks associated with the timely and effective deployment, protection, and defense of our computer networks and other electronic systems, including e-mail;

•changes in government regulations, procedures and requirements;

•our ability to maintain an effective system of internal controls and produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations;

•risks associated with heightened geopolitical instability due to the conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe;

•the outbreak of viruses or widespread illness, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters or other highly disruptive events and regulatory responses thereto; and

•other factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 21, 2025.

These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and while we believe that information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, that information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information. Moreover, factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We are not under any obligation (and we specifically disclaim any such obligation) to update or alter these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
