Forward-Looking Information

This document contains forward-looking statements which are presented for the purpose of assisting the reader to contextualize Empire Company Limited’s
(“Empire” or the “Company”) financial position and understand management’s expectations regarding the Company’s strategic priorities, objectives and plans.
These forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for other purposes. Forward-looking statements are identified by words or phrases such as “estimates”,

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following items:

•     The Company’s expectations regarding the impact of Project Sunrise, including expected cost savings and efficiencies, the expected timing of the
      realization of overall and fiscal 2020 in-year incremental benefits, and the expected $50 million overachievement of the initial $500 million target which could
      be impacted by several factors, including the execution and completion of category resets, time required by the Company to complete the project as well as
      the factors identified under the heading “Risk Management” in the fiscal 2019 annual Management’s Discussion & Analysis (“MD&A”);
•     The FreshCo expansion in Western Canada and Farm Boy expansion in Ontario, including the Company’s expectations regarding future operating results
      and profitability, the amount and timing of expenses, and the number, location, feasibility and timing of construction and conversions, all of which may be
      impacted by construction schedules and permits, the economic environment and labour relations;
•     The Company’s plans to purchase for cancellation Non-Voting Class A shares under the normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) which may be impacted by
      market and economic conditions, and the results of operations; and
•     The Company’s expectations regarding the implementation of its online grocery home delivery service which may be impacted by the timing of launching
      the business, the customer response to the service and the performance of its business partner, Ocado Group plc (“Ocado”).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Financial Metrics

There are measures and metrics included in this earnings call presentation, such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings per share, same-store sales, free cash
flow, funded debt and total capital that do not have a standardized meaning under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and therefore may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures and metrics presented by other publicly traded companies. The Company includes these measures and metrics because
it believes certain investors use these measures and metrics as a means of assessing financial performance.
For a more complete description of Empire’s non-GAAP measures and metrics, please see Empire’s MD&A for the second quarter ended November 2, 2019.
                                                                                                                                                                     2

Project Sunrise Update

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company launched Project Sunrise, a comprehensive, three year
transformation initiative intended to simplify organizational structures and reduce costs. The initiative is now
expected to generate at least $550 million in annualized benefits by the end of fiscal 2020.

1)       Organizational realignment – from a regional to a national structure, is complete.
2)       Operational efficiencies – store operations, labour standards and other operational process initiatives
         continue to progress as planned, with increased benefits achieved in fiscal 2019 and planned for 2020.
3)       Cost of goods sold – harmonization of costs with suppliers; more competitive net acquisition costs achieved;
         category resets are providing an improved, simplified and in some cases more innovative assortment for
         customers.
Financial benefits from Phases one and two largely impacted selling and administrative expenses. Phase
three financial benefits will be reflected mostly in gross margin expansion. As at Q2 F20, Project Sunrise is
on track.
