NOTES TO CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015 and October 25, 2014 [Unaudited]

[Amounts in thousands of Canadian dollars except per share amounts and where otherwise indicated]

1. CORPORATE INFORMATION

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of DAVIDsTEA Inc. and its subsidiary [collectively, the “Company”] for the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on December 10, 2015. The Company is incorporated and domiciled in Canada and its shares are publicly traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol “DTEA”. The registered office is located in Montréal, Québec, Canada.

The Company is engaged in the retail sale of tea and tea-related products in Canada and in the United States. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. Sales fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Retail sales are traditionally higher in the fourth fiscal quarter due to the holiday season.

2. statement of compliance and BASIS OF PREPARATION

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the financial statement disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2015, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all the adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period presented.

On May 12, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a 1.6-for-1 split on common and Class AA common shares, which was effective May 21, 2015. The accompanying financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the forward split. As a result, the historical per share amounts and the number of shares in these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect this change.

Basis of consolidation

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, DAVIDsTEA (USA) Inc. The unaudited condensed interim financial statements of the subsidiary are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses have been eliminated. The Company has no interests in special purpose entities.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting policies and methods of computation as outlined in note 4 of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2015, except for the stock-based compensation policy, which reflects the issuance of Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”), and the hedging policy.

Under the 2015 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Omnibus Plan”), selected employees are granted RSUs where each RSU has a value equal to one common share. The compensation expense is recorded at the fair value of the Company’s common shares at the grant date over the vesting period (generally three years) with a corresponding credit to contributed surplus for equity-settled RSUs and a corresponding credit to a liability for cash-settled RSUs. RSUs may be settled in shares, cash, or a combination of cash or shares upon vesting at the discretion of the Company. Cash settled RSUs are revalued at each reporting date to reflect their fair value at that date.

During the nine-month period ended October 31, 2015, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward contracts as described in Note 17. The Company applies hedge accounting for its foreign exchange forward contracts and designates them as cash flow hedges. At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated. In cash flow hedge relationships, the effective portion of the gains or losses on the hedged item is recognized directly in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”), while the ineffective portion is recorded in net earnings. The amounts recognized in OCI are reclassified to net earnings when the hedged item affects earnings.

Information on significant new accounting standards and amendments issued but not yet adopted is described below.

IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments”, partially replaces the requirements of IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. This standard is the first step in the project to replace IAS 39. The IASB intends to expand IFRS 9 to add new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities, derecognition of financial instruments, impairment and hedge accounting to become a complete replacement of IAS 39. These changes are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlier application permitted. The Company has not yet assessed the future impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 15, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” replaces IAS 11, “Construction Contracts”, and IAS 18, “Revenue”, as well as various interpretations regarding revenue. This standard introduces a single model for recognizing revenue that applies to all contracts with customers, except for contracts that are within the scope of standards on leases, insurance and financial instruments. This standard also requires enhanced disclosures. Adoption of IFRS 15 is mandatory and will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related note disclosures.

There were no new accounting standards implemented during the nine-month period ended October 31, 2015.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions using judgment that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense during the reporting period. Estimates and other judgments are continually evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations about future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

In preparing these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the significant estimates and judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those referred to in note 6 to the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2015, with the exception of the estimation related to the embedded financial derivative liability, which was settled June 10, 2015.

5. INVENTORIES

For the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015, $(28) and $34, respectively [October 25, 2014 — $(2) and $354, respectively], were written-down/(recovered) as a result of the change in net realizable value relative to the cost of the inventory.

6. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Depreciation expense is reported in the consolidated statements of loss under selling, general and administration expenses. For the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015, the depreciation expense was $1,445 and $4,093, respectively [October 25, 2014 — $1,410 and $3,500, respectively].

During the three and nine-month periods ended October 25, 2014, an assessment of impairment indicators was performed which caused the Company to review the recoverable amount of the property and equipment for certain CGUs with an indication of impairment. As a result, an impairment charge of $1,301 was recorded. No impairment of property and equipment was recorded during the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015.

7. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Amortization expense is reported in the consolidated statements of loss under selling, general and administration expenses. Amortization for the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015 amounted to $168 and $433, respectively [October 25, 2014 —  $148 and $434, respectively].

8. PROVISIONS

Provisions for onerous contracts have been recognized in respect of store leases where the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the lease agreements exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract. The unavoidable costs reflect the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of operating under the contract.

9. LONG-TERM DEBT AND FINANCE LEASE OBLIGATIONS

On April 24, 2015, the Company repaid the Term loan and the Loan from IQ with the proceeds of the Revolving Facility described below.

On April 24, 2015, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the ‘‘Credit Agreement’’) with the Bank of Montreal (“BMO”). The Credit Agreement provides for a three-year revolving term facility in the principal amount of $20,000 (which the Company refers to as the Revolving Facility) or the equivalent amount in U.S. Dollars, repayable at any time. The Credit Agreement also provides for an accordion feature whereby the Company may, at any time prior to the end of the three-year term and with permission from BMO, request an increase to the Revolving Facility by an amount not greater than $10,000.

On June 11, 2015, immediately following the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”), the advances under the Revolving Facility and the loan from controlling shareholder were fully repaid using proceeds from the offering and cash on hand. As at October 31, 2015, the Company did not have any borrowings on the Revolving Facility.

The Credit Agreement subjects the Company to certain financial covenants. Without the prior written consent of BMO, the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio may not be less than 1.25:1.00 and the Company’s leverage ratio may not exceed 3.00:1.00. In addition, the Company’s net tangible worth may not be less than $30,000. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility are available in the form of Canadian dollar advances, U.S. dollar advances, prime rate loans, banker’s acceptances, U.S. base rate loans and LIBOR loans. Further, up to an aggregate maximum amount of $2,000, or the equivalent amount in other currencies authorized by BMO, is available by way of letters of credit or letters of guarantees for terms of not more than 364 days. The Revolving Facility bears interest based on the Company’s adjusted leverage ratio. In the event the Company’s adjusted leverage ratio is equal to or less than 3.00:1.00, the Revolving Facility bears interest at (a) the bank’s prime rate plus 0.50% per annum, (b) the bank’s U.S. base rate plus 0.50% per

Table of Contents

annum, (c) LIBOR plus 1.50% per annum, subject to availability, or (d) 1.50% on the face amount of each banker’s acceptance, letter of credit or letter of guarantee, as applicable. A standby fee of 0.30% will be paid on the daily principal amount of the unused portion of the Revolving Facility. Should the Company’s adjusted leverage ratio be greater than 3.00:1.00 but less than 4.00:1.00, the Revolving Facility bears interest at (a) the bank’s prime rate plus 0.75% per annum, (b) the bank’s U.S. base rate plus 0.75% per annum, (c) LIBOR plus 1.75% per annum, subject to availability, or (d) 1.75% on the face amount of each banker’s acceptance, letter of credit or letter of guarantee, as applicable. A standby fee of 0.35% will be paid on the daily principal amount of the unused portion of the Revolving Facility. If the Company’s adjusted leverage ratio is greater than 4.00:1.00, the Revolving Facility bears interest at (a) the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25% per annum, (b) the bank’s U.S. base rate plus 1.25% per annum, (c) LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum, subject to availability, or (d) 2.25% on the face amount of each banker’s acceptance, letter of credit or letter of guarantee, as applicable. A standby fee of 0.45% will be paid on the daily principal amount of the unused portion of the Revolving Facility. As at October 31, 2015, the bank’s prime rate was 2.7% [October 25, 2014 — 3.0%] and the bank’s U.S base rate was 3.75%.

The Credit Agreement is collateralized by a first lien security interest in all of the Company’s assets in the amount of $37,500, a general security agreement, registered in each Canadian province in which the Company does business, creating a first priority charge on all assets. The credit facility contains a number of covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, restrict the Company’s ability to become guarantor or endorser or otherwise become liable upon any note or other obligation other than in the normal course of business. The Company also cannot make any dividend payments. As at October 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with these convenants.

10. MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERENCE SHARES

On June 10, 2015, immediately prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO, all of the Series A, A-1 and A-2 preferred shares were converted into common shares. The conversion of the outstanding Series A, A-1 and A-2 preferred shares converted into common shares on a 1-for-1.6045, 1-for-1.6 and 1-for-1.6 basis, respectively, resulted in the issuance of 8,128,805 commons shares.

Subsequently, the financial derivative liability embedded in the Series A, A-1 and A-2 preferred shares was converted into equity, and the Company amended its articles to remove the Series A, A-1 and A-2 preferred shares from its authorized capital.

Series A, A-1 and A-2 redeemable preferred shares at the option of the holder

Prior to the Company’s IPO, the Series A, A-1, and A-2 redeemable preferred shares liability were being accreted to their nominal value, reflecting accumulated and accrued dividends, using the effective interest rate method. For the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015, the accretion on preferred shares was nil and $401, respectively [October 25, 2014 — $300 and $754, respectively].

Financial derivative liability

On June 10, 2015, at the date of conversion of the Series A, A-1 and A-2 preferred shares, the financial derivative liability was increased to reflect the fair market value of the common shares issued of $157,301. For the nine-month period ended October 31, 2015, the changes in the carrying value of the financial derivative liability embedded in preferred shares was $140,874, recorded as a loss in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive income/(loss). Upon conversion of the Series A, A-1 and A-2 preferred shares into common shares, the carrying value of the total financial derivative liability was recorded as share capital.

In conducting the valuations, the Company used a methodology that is consistent with the methods outlined in the AICPA Practice Aid Valuation of Privately-Held-Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation. As at January 31, 2015, the enterprise value inputs associated with the Company’s valuations were derived using the income and market approaches. The income approach estimates the enterprise value of the Company by discounting the expected future cash flows of the Company to present value. Under the market approach, the total enterprise value of the Company is estimated by comparing the Company’s business to similar businesses whose securities are actively traded in public markets, or businesses that are involved in a public or private transaction. As at June 10, 2015, in connection with the expected IPO, the enterprise value inputs were derived using the market approach. The Company selected valuation multiples derived from trading multiples of public companies that participate in the Company’s industry. These valuation multiples were then applied to the equivalent financial metric of the Company’s business, giving consideration to differences between the Company and similar companies for such factors as company size, leverage, and growth prospects.

The Company prepared financial forecasts to be used in the computation of the enterprise value for the income approach. The financial forecasts took into account the Company’s past experience and future expectations. There was inherent uncertainty in these estimates. The risks associated with achieving the Company’s forecasts were assessed in selecting the appropriate discount rates. If different discount rates had been used, the valuations would have been different.

The fair value of the derivative financial instrument was estimated using the Monte Carlo simulation model. A Monte Carlo simulation model is a valuation model that relies on random sampling and is often used when modeling systems with a large number of inputs and where there is a significant uncertainty in the future value of inputs and where the movement of the inputs can be independent of each other. Some of the key inputs used by the Company in its Monte Carlo simulation include: the Company’s common share price, the risk-free rate of return, and expected volatility. The assumptions used in the Company’s valuation model are as follows:

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy on derivative financial instruments, the financial derivative liability embedded in the Company’s Series A, A-1 and A-2 preferred shares were separated from the debt host contract at issuance at fair value. The derivative was then revalued at each reporting date.

Stock-based compensation

The weighted average fair value of options granted of $4.76 for the nine months ended October 31, 2015 [for the year ended January 31, 2015 — $2.02] was estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model, using the following assumptions:

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock option plan (the “Plan”) and changes during the year is presented below. Expected volatility was estimated using historical volatility of similar companies whose share prices were publicly available.

Table of Contents

During the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015, the Company recognized a stock-based compensation expense of $458 and $1,276, respectively [October 25, 2014 - $296 and $577, respectively] and a stock-based compensation expense related to a cashless exercise by optionees of nil and $4,052, respectively [October 25, 2014 - nil and nil].

On March 31, 2015 the Board of Directors adopted the 2015 Omnibus Plan. As described below, the maximum number of the Company’s common shares that are available for issuance under the 2015 Omnibus Plan is 1,440,000 shares. Subject to adjustment, no more than 1,440,000 common shares may be delivered in satisfaction of incentive stock options (“ISOs”), awarded under the 2015 Omnibus Plan. Common shares issued under the 2015 Omnibus Plan may be shares held in treasury or authorized but unissued shares of the Company not reserved for any other purpose.

The 2015 Omnibus Plan provides for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units (including restricted stock units, “RSUs”), performance awards, deferred share units, elective deferred share units and other awards convertible into or otherwise based on the Company’s common shares. Eligibility for stock options intended to be ISOs is limited to the Company’s employees. Dividend equivalents may also be provided in connection with an award under the 2015 Omnibus Plan. The maximum term of stock options and SARs is seven years.

On March 31, 2015, the Company granted the issuance of 235,120 RSUs, of which 4,800 were forfeited as at October 31, 2015. Subsequently, the Company issued an additional 23,360 RSUs on October 31, 2015.

As at October 31, 2015, 1,153,320 common shares remain available for issuance under the 2015 Omnibus Plan.

12. INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense is recognized based on management’s best estimate of the weighted average annual income tax rate expected for the full fiscal year. The statutory income tax rate for the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015 was 26.5% [October 25, 2014 — 26.5%]. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine-month periods ended October 31, 2015 was 7.2% and 0.6%, respectively [October 25, 2014 — 43.7% and (97.1)%, respectively].

As at October 31, 2015, the Company’s U.S. subsidiary has accumulated losses amounting to US$4.7 million [US$5.8 million for January 31, 2015], which expire during the years 2032 to 2034.
