FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tops Holding Corporation Reports 33% Increase in Net Sales
to $2.3 Billion in 2010

	•		Total inside sales (supermarket excluding gasoline) grew 26% and 33% in the fourth quarter and fiscal 2010, respectively, driven by the acquired Penn Traffic supermarkets and the addition of one new supermarket
	•		Adjusted EBITDA increased 20% to $132.7 million in fiscal 2010
	•		Generated cash from operations of $49.5 million in fiscal 2010, inclusive of $31.4 million in cash outlays related to the Penn Traffic acquisition, integration and rebannering

WILLIAMSVILLE, NY, March 31, 2011 — Tops Holding Corporation (“Tops” or the “Company”), the parent of Tops Markets, LLC, a leading supermarket retailer with 128 corporate and 5 franchise locations serving the Upstate New York and Northern Pennsylvania regions, today reported financial results for the Company’s fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 1, 2011. These reported results include the impact of the January 29, 2010 acquisition of substantially all assets and certain liabilities of The Penn Traffic Company and its subsidiaries (“Penn Traffic”), including 55 supermarkets that have been retained by Tops.

Frank Curci, Tops’ President and CEO, commented, “This was a transformational year for Tops, as we expanded our geographic reach, substantially grew our business, and strengthened our franchise with the acquisition of Penn Traffic. Our new customers have enthusiastically welcomed us into their communities, and thanks to our hard-working and talented employees, we have successfully integrated all of the acquired supermarkets. With the integration now complete, we will focus on growth from the leveraging of our increased footprint.”

Fiscal 2010 Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Net sales of $530.8 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 (a 12-week period ended January 1, 2011) increased $106.4 million, or 25.1%, compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 (a 13-week period ended January 2, 2010).

Inside sales were $493.0 million in the quarter, up $101.1 million, or 25.8%, when compared with the same period in the prior year. The increase in inside sales reflects the acquired Penn Traffic supermarkets which contributed $132.1 million and the opening of a new supermarket in August 2010, partially offset by the additional week of sales during the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter. Excluding the additional week, same-store sales for the comparable weeks decreased 0.7% due to the approximately 1% effect of the acquired stores on our legacy supermarkets.

Rick Mills, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer noted, “Given the challenging operating environment this past year, our inside sales results truly reflect how successful our sales and marketing programs were in building the overall business and regaining lost Penn Traffic customers.”

Gasoline sales increased $5.3 million, or 16.2%, to $37.8 million in the fourth quarter, reflecting a 10.5% increase in the retail price per gallon and a 5.2% increase in the number of gallons sold. The increase in gallons sold was attributable to four new gas stations that were opened since the 2009 fourth quarter.

Gross profit for the quarter increased 23.5%, to $142.4 million, from $115.3 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting the addition of the Penn Traffic supermarkets. Excluding the impact of non-cash LIFO inventory valuation adjustments, gross profit remained a consistent 27.1% year-over-year.

Total operating expenses increased 28.4%, to $140.7 million, compared with $109.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily driven by incremental costs associated with operating the acquired Penn Traffic supermarkets, including $2.2 million of non-recurring integration expenses.

Net loss for the fourth quarter was $13.8 million, compared with a net loss of $24.3 million in the 2009 fourth quarter. The fiscal 2009 fourth quarter net loss reflects income tax expense resulting from a $13.9 million deferred tax asset valuation allowance, as well as a $7.3 million loss on debt extinguishment associated with the Company’s October 2009 debt refinancing.

Fiscal 2010 Financial Results

Fiscal 2010 (a 52-week period) net sales were $2.26 billion, up $561.9 million, or 33.1%, compared with $1.70 billion for fiscal 2009 (a 53-week period). The increase was due to the acquired Penn Traffic supermarkets, which contributed $553.0 million, and a 29.1% increase in gasoline sales. Excluding the 53^rd week in 2009, same store sales improved 0.1%, despite the difficult economic conditions for supermarket retailers and the effect of the acquired stores on our legacy supermarkets.

Twenty-four of the acquired Penn Traffic supermarkets had been closed, sold, or liquidated by May 31, 2010. Net sales and operating loss for these 24 supermarkets were $33.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, during fiscal 2010.

In fiscal 2010, the Company recognized a non-cash gain of $15.7 million on the Penn Traffic acquisition due to the excess of net assets acquired over the purchase price. This bargain purchase was partially attributable to the distressed status of Penn Traffic due to historical operating results, which led to the November 2009 Penn Traffic bankruptcy filing.

FTC Update

As previously announced, on August 4, 2010, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) issued a Proposed Order that would require Tops to sell seven of the retained Penn Traffic supermarkets. The Proposed Order was subject to public comment until September 7, 2010, and Tops is awaiting the approval of a Final Order by the FTC. Net sales and operating income for these seven supermarkets were $54.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for fiscal 2010.

All of the 55 acquired supermarkets the Company is currently operating have been converted to the Tops banner, except the seven supermarkets under the FTC Proposed Order.

Supplemental Reporting on EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

To provide investors with greater understanding of its operating performance, in addition to the results measured in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), Tops provides supplemental reporting on EBITDA⁽¹⁾ and Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾.

Fiscal 2010 fourth quarter EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $19.3 million, up $4.6 million, or 30.8%, from $14.7 million for the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter. The increase primarily reflects the contribution from the acquired Penn

Traffic supermarkets. Fiscal 2010 EBITDA⁽¹⁾ was $102.6 million, up $9.6 million, or 10.3%, from $93.0 million in fiscal 2009.

Fiscal 2010 fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ was $25.0 million, down $2.1 million, or 7.5%, from $27.1 million for the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter, primarily due to the additional week in the fiscal 2009 fourth quarter. Fiscal 2010 Adjusted EBITDA⁽²⁾ was $132.7 million, up $22.4 million, or 20.3%, from $110.3 million in fiscal 2009, again reflecting the contribution from the acquired Penn Traffic supermarkets.

^{(1), (2)} See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and attached table for reconciliation to GAAP.

Strong Cash Generation

Cash provided by operating activities during Fiscal 2010 was $49.5 million, a decrease of $17.4 million from fiscal 2009 primarily due to cash expenditures of $31.4 million related to the acquisition, integration efforts, legal expenses associated with the FTC’s review of the acquired supermarkets and other one-time legal and professional fees related to Penn Traffic. These cash expenditures were partially offset by a $14.8 million improvement in cash from changes in operating assets and liabilities due to the more effective management of working capital, despite incremental working capital investment requirements related to the acquired Penn Traffic supermarkets. Additionally, fiscal 2010 reflects incremental cash flows generated by the acquired Penn Traffic supermarkets.

During 2010, Tops received $20.8 million from the sale of certain of the acquired supermarkets and other assets to third parties.

Capital expenditures for fiscal 2010 were $49.7 million, compared with $28.1 million for fiscal 2009. Store remodels and rebannering efforts made up the majority of the 2010 capital expenditures. The Company expects to invest $35 to $45 million in capital expenditures during the next twelve months.

As of January 1, 2011, the unused commitment under the ABL facility was $64.2 million, after giving effect to $12.5 million of letters of credit outstanding thereunder. The Company believes that cash generated from operations and the ABL facility will be sufficient to meet cash requirements for 2011.

Conference Call

Tops will host a conference call on Friday, April 1, 2011 beginning at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. During the call, Frank Curci, President and Chief Executive Officer, Rick Mills, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Kevin Darrington, Chief Operating Officer, will review the financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, and discuss Tops’ corporate strategy and outlook. A question-and-answer session will follow. The conference call can be accessed by dialing (201) 689-8471 and entering conference ID number 368398.

flows, performance, business prospects and opportunities. Wherever used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “may,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements as such term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Any such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and the Company’s actual growth, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, performance, business prospects and opportunities could differ materially from historical results or current expectations. Some of these risks include, without limitation, the impact of economic and industry conditions, competition, food and drug safety issues, store expansion and remodeling, liquidity, labor relations issues, costs of providing employee benefits, regulatory matters, legal and administrative proceedings, information technology, security, severe weather, natural disasters and adverse climate changes, accounting matters, other risk factors relating to our business or industry and other risks detailed from time to time in the Securities and Exchange Commission filings of Tops. Forward-looking statements contained herein speak only as of the date made and, thus, Tops and its wholly owned subsidiaries undertake no obligation to update or publicly announce the revision of any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect new information, future events, developments or changed circumstances or for any other reason.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, we provide information regarding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. We define EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude certain items that we believe are non-recurring in nature and are not indicative of future performance. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and liquidity and they are among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting for future periods. We believe the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management and makes it easier to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures. See the last page of this release for a quantitative reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure, which we believe is net loss.
