Exhibit 99.1

For Immediate Release

SPROUTS FARMERS MARKET, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2013 RESULTS

PHOENIX, Ariz. – (Globe Newswire) – Nov. 7, 2013 – Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq:SFM) today reported results for its 13-week third quarter ended Sept. 29, 2013.

Third Quarter Highlights:

“We are pleased to report another strong quarter, evidence of our customers’ desire for fresh, natural and organic food at affordable prices,” said Doug Sanders, president and chief executive officer of Sprouts Farmers Market. “Our positive first-half momentum continued into the third quarter, with comparable store sales growth of 10.2%. This gives us confidence in the power of our model and the ability to increase our guidance for the year. Our new store pipeline remains strong with more than 55 leases approved for 2014 and beyond, of which 30 are signed. Based on our robust pipeline, we remain optimistic about our future growth opportunities and expansion strategy.”

In order to aid understanding of the Company’s business performance, it has presented results in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and has also presented adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures that are explained and reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures in the tables included in this release. In addition, in comparing its results to the comparable periods of 2012, the Company has presented 2012 financial results on a pro forma basis as if the May 2012 business combination with Sunflower Farmers Market, Inc. (“Sunflower Transaction”) had occurred on the first day of the Company’s 2012 fiscal year. Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the 13 and 39 weeks ended September 30, 2012, giving effect to the Sunflower Transaction, are included in the tables to this release.

Third Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Net sales in the third quarter 2013 increased 24% to $633.6 million. Third quarter net sales growth was driven by an increase in comparable store sales growth of 10.2% and strong performance in new stores opened.

Gross profit for the quarter increased 30% to $190.1 million resulting in a margin of 30.0% of sales, or an increase of 130 basis points, compared to reported and pro forma gross profit in the same period in 2012. The improvement in gross profit margin was primarily driven by cycling various promotions and product markdowns related to merchandise alignment made in the third quarter of 2012 in certain markets during the Sunflower integration, in addition to leverage in occupancy costs. This leverage was partially offset by lower margins in produce due to a tight supply of certain items, as compared to 2012.

Direct store expenses, as a percentage of sales, for the quarter decreased 10 basis points to 20.4% compared to reported and pro forma direct store expenses in the same period in 2012. This was primarily due to lower non-capitalizable store development costs partially offset by higher healthcare costs.

Net income for the quarter was $11.5 million, up $10.2 million from the same period in 2012. Net income in the quarter included a $9.5 million pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt; a $3.2 million pre-tax bonus related to the IPO; and $0.4 million pre-tax loss on disposal of assets. Pro forma net income for the third quarter of 2012 included certain costs related to the Sunflower Transaction, including pre-tax acquisition and integration costs of $5.6 million; pre-tax store closure and exit costs of $2.3 million; $0.5 million pre-tax loss on disposal of assets; and a $1.0 million pre-tax loss on extinguishment of debt. Excluding these items, adjusted net income increased 160% to $19.5 million compared to pro forma adjusted net income of $7.5 million in the same period in 2012. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $52.6 million, up $20.4 million, or 63%, from pro forma adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2012. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.13, a 117% increase from pro forma adjusted diluted earnings per share from the same period in 2012. This increase was attributable to strong business performance driven by increased comparable store sales and resulting operating leverage, performance of new stores opened, and reduced interest expense, partially offset by an increase in share count due to shares issued in the IPO.

Fiscal Year-to-Date Financial Results

For the 39-week period ended Sept. 29, 2013, net sales increased 39% to $1.83 billion compared to net sales for the same period of 2012. Growth was driven by the Sunflower Transaction, increased comparable store sales, as well as new store openings. Net income was $42.0 million, up $25.8 million from the same period in 2012, or an increase of 160%. Net sales increased 21% compared to pro forma net sales for the same period of 2012. Adjusted EBITDA totaled $157.4 million, up $38.8 million or 33% from pro forma adjusted EBITDA in the same period of 2012.

Growth and Development

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company opened seven new stores – four in Texas, two in Arizona and one in Colorado. This brings the Company’s 2013 new store openings to 19, representing 13% growth, for a total of 167 stores in eight states.

Leverage, Liquidity and IPO

The Company generated cash from operations of $142.7 million year-to-date through Sept. 29, 2013 and invested $74.8 million in capital expenditures, primarily for new stores. The Company ended the quarter with a principal balance on its term loan of $360.0 million, had $91.7 million in cash and cash equivalents and $52.0 million available under its revolving credit facility.

On Aug. 6, 2013, the Company closed its IPO of 21.3 million shares of common stock. The Company received net proceeds from the IPO of $344.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, and used these proceeds to pay down $340.0 million of outstanding indebtedness under its term loan facility.

“With a strong balance sheet, and the continuation of strong operating cash flows, we are well positioned to achieve our current and future strategic plans,” said Amin Maredia, chief financial officer.

Outlook

The following provides updated information on the Company’s current estimated 2013 results:

The Company’s adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA guidance for the year do not include charges and costs which are expected to be similar to those charges and costs excluded from adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA in prior quarters. Please see the explanation and reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2013 in the tables included below.

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

In May 2012, the Company acquired Sunflower Farmers Market, Inc. (“Sunflower”), which operated 37 Sunflower Farmers Market stores, in a transaction referred to as the “Sunflower Transaction.” The effects of the Sunflower Transaction have a material effect on the comparability of the Company’s results of operations. The Company has therefore supplemented the comparative discussion of its results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2013 with comparisons to the results for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2012 on a pro forma basis giving effect to the Sunflower Transaction as if it had occurred on the first day of fiscal 2012. Set forth below are unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2012.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Basis of Presentation and Description of Transactions

Effective May 29, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common and preferred stock of Sunflower in the Sunflower Transaction, a transaction accounted for as a business combination, which was financed through the issuance of debt and 14.9 million shares of common stock.

The historical Sprouts Farmers Market, Inc. results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2012 are derived from its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods then ended. The historical Sunflower results of operations for the period January 1, 2012 to May 28, 2012, were derived from the Sunflower pre-combination unaudited financial statements. Certain amounts from the Sunflower pre-combination unaudited financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s presentation.

2. Pro Forma for Sunflower Transaction

The historical results of operations have been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the Sunflower Transaction, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results, as if the Sunflower Transaction occurred on the first day of fiscal 2012 (referred to as “Pro Forma Adjustments for Sunflower Transaction”). Below is a description of the types of adjustments represented in the Sunflower Fiscal Period Alignment and Sunflower Transaction Adjustments columns.

Sunflower Fiscal Period Alignment - Sunflower’s fiscal 2012 commenced one day earlier than the Company’s fiscal 2012. Pro forma adjustments for Sunflower Fiscal Period Alignment reflect the pro forma impact of deducting one day from the historical Sunflower results of operations.

Cost of Sales, Buying and Occupancy – Adjustments attributable to the application of acquisition accounting including straight-line rent adjustments and adjustments to the amortization of favorable lease intangible assets and unfavorable lease liabilities.

Direct Store Expenses – Adjustments to historical Sunflower depreciation related to changes in value and estimated useful lives of property plant and equipment.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses – Adjustments related to Sunflower Transaction fees recorded by both Sprouts and Sunflower, accelerated share-based compensation recorded by Sunflower, adjustments to depreciation related to changes in value and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment and amortization of the Sunflower trade name.

Interest Expense – Adjustments related to the reversal of historical Sunflower interest expense, incremental interest expense related to the proceeds from additional term loan and senior subordinated notes that were used to effectuate the transaction and interest related to Sunflower capital and financing lease obligations.

Income Tax Provision – Adjustment to the income tax provision for the items listed above.

Net income per share – Net income per share has been adjusted to reflect those items listed above and the change in weighted average shares outstanding – basic and diluted as described below.

Weighted average shares outstanding – basic and diluted – The weighted average shares outstanding basic and diluted have been adjusted for the effect of the additional shares issued in the Sunflower Transaction.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has presented adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share and adjusted EBITDA. These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to GAAP. The Company’s management believes that these presentations provide useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding certain additional financial and business trends relating to its results of operations and financial condition. In addition, management uses these measures for reviewing the financial results of the Company as well as a component of incentive compensation. For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2012, these non-GAAP measures are presented pro forma for the Sunflower Transaction. See “Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information.” The Company defines adjusted net income as net income excluding store closure and exit costs, one-time costs associated with its combination with Henry’s Holdings, LLC (“Henry’s”) and the Sunflower Transaction (collectively, the “Transactions”), gain and losses from disposal of assets and the loss of extinguishment of debt. The Company defines adjusted diluted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. The Company defines EBITDA as net income before interest expense, provision for income tax, and depreciation and amortization, and defines adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding store closure and exit costs, one-time costs associated with the Transactions, and losses from disposal of assets.

These non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meanings prescribed by GAAP. Use of these terms may differ from similar measures reported by other companies. Because of their limitations, none of these non-GAAP measures should be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to use to reinvest in growth of the Company’s business, or as a measure of cash that will be available to meet the Company’s obligations. Each of these non-GAAP measures has its limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP.

The following table shows a reconciliation of adjusted and pro forma adjusted net income , and adjusted and pro forma adjusted EBITDA to net income for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 29, 2013 and pro forma net income for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 30, 2012:
