2 Forward-looking Information

This MD&A, including, in particular, the sections below entitled “Factors Affecting the Results of Operations”, “Outlook”, “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Risk Factors”, contains forward-looking information and forward-looking statements which reflect the current view of management with respect to the Company’s objectives, plans, goals, strategies, outlook, results of operations, financial and operating performance, prospects and opportunities. Wherever used, the words “may”, “will”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “expect”, “plan”, “believe” and similar expressions identify forward-looking information and forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future events, performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indicators of whether, or the times at which, such events, performance or results will be achieved. All of the information in this MD&A containing forward-looking information or forward-looking statements is qualified by these cautionary statements.

Forward-looking information and forward-looking statements are based on information available to management at the time they are made, underlying estimates, opinions and assumptions made by management and management’s current good faith belief with respect to future strategies, prospects, events, performance and results, and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations generally. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those described below under the heading “Risk Factors” and in the Company’s 2019 annual information form (the “AIF”) filed on March 4, 2020. This MD&A, in addition to the MD&A filed on May 4, 2020 (“Q1 MD&A”), also includes forward looking statements with respect to the expected impact of the recent novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, which has a direct and material impact on the Company’s financial outlook and expectations for future performance. A copy of the AIF and/or Q1 MDA can be accessed under the Company’s profile on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (“SEDAR”) at www.sedar.com. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently believes to be less significant may also adversely affect the Company.

In these unprecedented times, the Company believes that the COVID-19 pandemic creates a number of additional risks and uncertainties for the Company's business, which could impact the results of operations going forward and the forward-looking statements made herein. These include:

(a) a material reduction in revenue and/or profitability as a result of: • another partial or complete closure of the Company’s retail stores and/or distribution centres; • significant economic challenges that lead to financial constraints on customers; • decline in product demand causing the need to discount products to drive revenue; and • additional legislation, regulation and other government intervention measures impeding normal operations.

1 (b) uncertainty associated with the costs and availability of resources required to provide the appropriate/required levels of service to the Company’s customers including the availability and cost of training the Company’s sales, warehouse, customer service, and delivery associates;

(c) issues in the Company’s ability to offer certain products due to another partial or full closure of its retail store and/or distribution centre closures and possible supply chain disruptions;

(d) uncertainty associated with potential increased costs, delays and availability of resources required to complete major projects on time and budget;

(e) the uncertainty around the shift in consumer behaviour in the long term, such as increased online purchases compared to retail store purchases, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations, capital resources and/or financial results of operations;

(f) the negative impact on debt and equity capital markets, including the ability to access capital at a reasonable cost and the trading price of the Company’s securities, could impact the Company’s future capital raising efforts, if required; and

(g) the uncertainty of the impact of the pandemic on the Company’s competitive landscape.

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of any current or future government and central bank interventions. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly, estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may, directly or indirectly, materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty.

SCC cautions that the list of risk factors and uncertainties described in this MD&A, Q1 MD&A and the AIF is not exhaustive and that should certain risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual strategies, prospects, events, performance and results may vary significantly from those expected. There can be no assurance that the actual strategies, prospects, results, performance, events or activities anticipated by the Company will be realized or even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. Readers are urged to consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions carefully in evaluating the forward- looking information and forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information and statements. SCC does not undertake to update any such forward-looking information or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws.

3 4 Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Company

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global public health emergency. As days progressed, the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases escalated exponentially in many countries around the world. The Company actively monitored the progress of the virus and continuously assessed its impact on the business and its environment while taking the necessary corrective actions, as required. On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak as a pandemic. In March 2020, Canada experienced a rapid increase in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases thereby confirming the pandemic onset in Canada.

To address the COVID-19 global outbreak and contain the spread of the virus, governments enacted emergency measures. These measures included the implementation of travel bans, self-imposed quarantine periods, self-isolation, physical distancing and the closure of non-essential businesses. These measures materially disrupted businesses, both in Canada and worldwide, resulting in an uncertain and challenging economic environment.

As a result, in March 2020, the Company enacted its business continuity measures to support ongoing operations, liquidity and financial flexibility. The primary focus of these measures is to keep employees safe, to secure business continuity with suppliers and customers, to offer support to the government and the community and to maintain the Company’s long-term viability and shareholder value. Specific measures include:

1. In keeping with the health authorities’ physical distancing recommendations and to support the safety and well-being of its employees and customers, the Company temporarily closed its 276 retail store locations, effective March 21, 2020; • all provincial governments subsequently announced the mandatory closure of all non-essential workplaces including all of the Company’s retail locations. The Company was permitted to continue its delivery and ecommerce services during the mandatory lockdown; • in May 2020, as provincial and municipal restrictions eased, SCC began to re-open its store network beginning May 11, 2020. All of the Company’s stores reopened and resumed operations by June 24, 2020; 2. The Company implemented a process for contactless delivery; • in June 2020, the Company recommenced its “white-glove” delivery service, with additional safety measures, along with providing customers with a contactless delivery option; 3. Quickly enabled the office team to work remotely from the safety of their own homes; 4. Retained the Company’s furloughed employees with reduced pay; • upon stores reopening, the Company reinstated most furloughed employees, as required; 5. Continuing to have an open dialogue with key suppliers, landlords and partners; 6. Continuing to manage liquidity to ensure financial flexibility through various measures, including the following: • on May 4, 2020, the Company secured additional liquidity to manage the impact of COVID-19 on its operations. The senior secured credit agreement was amended to include an incremental $50 million accordion; • 25% to 50% of the base salaries of Sleep Country’s Named Executive Officers (“NEO”), as defined in the Company’s Management Information Circular (“MIC”) available on SEDAR, is being deferred; • the deferral of the Board’s remaining 2020 cash compensation; • temporarily suspended the Company's quarterly dividend, with an intent to reinstate dividend payments at a time and payment level considered prudent by the Company's Board. The Company intends to reinstate the dividends at a future date with the resumption of normal operating conditions and when the Board considers the risks and uncertainties associated with COVID-19 are unlikely to have a material ongoing impact; and • suspended the purchase of share buybacks under the Company’s NCIB program; 7. Continuously evaluating and applying for the available government programs that would be beneficial to the Company • in Q2 2020, the Company qualified for Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”) federal government program, which provided the Company with a 75% wage subsidy, on eligible remuneration for eligible employees to a weekly maximum of $847. The Company qualified for CEWS payments for the period of March 15, 2020 to June 30, 2020; and 8. Deferral of certain capital expenditures and implementation of certain cost-saving measures across the business. Refer to section entitled “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Outlook” for additional information.

The duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of any current or future government and central bank interventions, the Company’s business continuity plan and other mitigating measures. Any estimate of the length and severity of these developments is therefore subject to significant uncertainty, and accordingly estimates of the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may materially and adversely affect the Company’s operations, financial results and condition in future periods are also subject to significant uncertainty. Refer to the section entitled “Forward-looking information” for certain specific risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19.

4 5 Dividends and Share Purchases

Dividends:

The Company is taking prudent actions, in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, to manage its liquidity and ensure financial flexibility through the market volatility resulting from the impact of COVID-19. In March 2020, the Company temporarily suspended its dividend. The Company intends on reinstating the dividend payments at a time and payment level considered prudent by the Company's Board following resumption of normal operating conditions, for such period of time, as the Board considers necessary to ensure the risks and uncertainties associated with COVID-19 are unlikely to have a material ongoing impact. Historically, the Board of the Company has periodically declared dividends on the Company’s common shares as follows:

Date of declaration Record date Payment date Dividend declared (per share) January 29, 2016 February 16, 2016 February 26, 2016 $ 0.130 May 10, 2016 May 20, 2016 May 30, 2016 $ 0.130 July 28, 2016 August 16, 2016 August 26, 2016 $ 0.150 November 1, 2016 November 18, 2016 November 28, 2016 $ 0.150 January 26, 2017 February 17, 2017 February 27, 2017 $ 0.150 May 9, 2017 May 19, 2017 May 29, 2017 $ 0.165 August 2, 2017 August 18, 2017 August 28, 2017 $ 0.165 November 1, 2017 November 17, 2017 November 27, 2017 $ 0.165 January 26, 2018 February 16, 2018 February 26, 2018 $ 0.165 May 7, 2018 May 22, 2018 May 31, 2018 $ 0.185 August 2, 2018 August 20, 2018 August 30, 2018 $ 0.185 November 1, 2018 November 19, 2018 November, 29, 2018 $ 0.185 February 5, 2019 February 15, 2019 February 26, 2019 $ 0.185 May 6, 2019 May 21, 2019 May 31, 2019 $ 0.195 August 8, 2019 August 20, 2019 August 29, 2019 $ 0.195 October 31, 2019 November 19, 2019 November 29, 2019 $ 0.195 February 4, 2020 February 14, 2020 February 25, 2020 $ 0.195

5 Share Purchases:

On March 4, 2020, the Company received approval from the Stock Exchange (the "TSX") to commence, a Normal Course Issuer Bid ("NCIB") and purchase through the facilities of the TSX of up to 1,368,363 of the Company’s common shares, representing approximately 4.8% of the public float as of February 29, 2020. Purchases may commence through the TSX on March 9, 2020 and will conclude on the earlier of the date on which purchases under the bid have been completed and March 8, 2021. In accordance with the rules and by-laws of the TSX, the Company has been permitted to purchase up to a daily maximum of 28,010 Shares (representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Shares on the TSX for the six months prior to commencement of the NCIB), except where such purchases are made in accordance with the "block purchase" exception under the applicable TSX rules and policies.

To preserve liquidity during these uncertain times, the Company has suspended the purchase of any shares under its NCIB. Since the commencement of the NCIB, the Company has not purchased any common shares for cancellation. The Company will review future share purchases at a time and at a level considered prudent by the Company's Board following resumption of normal operating conditions, for such period of time, as the Board considers necessary to ensure the risks and uncertainties associated with COVID-19 are unlikely to have a material ongoing impact.

6 6 Factors Affecting the Results of Operations

Revenues

Revenues are derived primarily from the retail sales of mattresses, lifestyle bases and Accessories and are recognized when the performance obligation is fulfilled. The performance obligation is deemed fulfilled when the control of the products has transferred to the customer and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Provisions for returns relating to the Company’s various customer satisfaction programs are accrued based on historical experience. Revenue from sale of third party warranties is recognized based on the net amount of consideration the Company retains after paying the third party the consideration received in exchange for the services to be provided by the third party.

Building on the Company’s dominant brands and market position of its banners, the Company plans to grow its revenue by growing Same Store Sales (or “SSS”- see “Non-IFRS Measures” ), continuing to add stores in both new and existing markets, increasing online revenue through its eCommerce platforms, expanding its product offerings, reaching more customers through targeted marketing and growing revenue through retail partnerships. SCC’s revenue is impacted by competition from other retailers that sell similar products and by seasonal patterns.

SSS is primarily driven by: • changes in customer traffic due to effective marketing, customer loyalty and word of mouth; • changes in the conversion rate of converting shoppers into buyers; • changes in the average transaction size; and • changes in economic conditions and consumer confidence.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant economic impact in Canada and on the Company’s revenue. On March 21 2020, in response to the pandemic, the Company decided to temporarily close its 276 retail store locations and shift all business to its ecommerce platform to aid in curbing the spread of the virus through physical distancing. Shortly thereafter, government authorities placed further restrictions mandating all non-essential businesses to close their physical locations until further notice. In May 2020, as provincial and municipal governments eased restrictions, the Company began reopening its network of stores beginning May 11, 2020. All of the Company’s stores had reopened and had resumed operations by June 24, 2020. For risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, refer to the section “Forward-looking Information” in this MD&A.

SSS is typically a useful operating metric in assessing the performance of the Company's business. Due to the temporary closure of the Company’s retail stores relating to the pandemic, SSS is not currently representative of the Company’s performance and consequently Q2 2020 and YTD 2020 SSS measures have not been included in this MD&A.

Online Expansion Opportunities

Sleep Country launched its first eCommerce platform in 2017 to address the growing trend of consumers who research and shop online. Since its launch in 2017, the Company has continually evolved and improved its eCommerce platform. In Q4 2019, the Company launched its new cloud based Oracle eCommerce platform, providing customers with a best in class online experience. The new website provides customers an enhanced omnichannel experience by offering them a larger selection of mattresses, lifestyle bases and Accessories. These recent enhancements to the Company’s online experience allow customers to interact with the Company’s three Banners and purchase the full SCC assortment when they want, how they want and where they want. The sudden temporary closure of all the Company’s retail stores in March 2020 resulted in a shift of all its business to its ecommerce platforms. The Company swiftly created an ongoing exclusive online Sleep Experts team to service its valued customers through its eCommerce platforms. Customers are able to connect with an online Sleep Expert to get live support through a dedicated phone line and/or the Live Chat support available on the Company’s eCommerce platforms.

In 2018, Sleep Country acquired Endy with a goal of diversifying its product offerings, accelerating the growth of the Company’s online business and reaching a new customer segment. The acquisition of Endy, along with Sleep Country’s new eCommerce website, complements Sleep Country’s national store footprint and diverse selection of sleep products. The Company believes that this acquisition strengthens its omnichannel footprint, customer experience and positions Sleep Country strongly to compete against local and potential U.S. and international entrants to the Canadian market.

In Q1 2019, Sleep Country announced its partnership with Walmart to offer consumers its Bloom mattress-in-a-box collection on a dedicated Bloom storefront on Walmart.ca, thereby accessing Walmart’s expansive online customer base. In Q2 2020, Sleep Country expanded its product offerings on Walmart.ca to include additional varieties of mattresses, pillows, pillowcases, sheets, weighted blankets, mattress protectors,

7 mattress toppers, platforms and pet beds. Walmart receives millions of visits to its Canadian website every month and over 80 per cent of Canadian households shop at Walmart. This partnership diversifies the Company’s sales channels, exposes the Company to additional customer segments and further Sleep Country's omnichannel offering.

Product Expansion Opportunities

SCC’s goal is to build on the market position of its Banners and to grow its revenue by continuing to expand its product offerings in both the mattresses and Accessories categories. This is achieved by securing exclusive partnerships with international sleep brands and continued in- house innovation.

The original Bloom mattress-in-a-box was launched in 2017 in order to cater to consumers who are looking for affordability, convenience and trust when buying a new mattress-in-a-box. In 2018, SCC added to the original Bloom mattress-in-a-box by introducing three new Bloom mattress-in-a-box products at various price points, thereby extending the mattress-in-a-box offering for every budget and every room. Due to the increasing demand in the mattresses-in-a-box category, in Q2 2020, the Company introduced another new Bloom mattress-in-a-box, the Bloom River, to add to its collection.

To complement its Bloom mattress-in-a-box offerings, Sleep Country and Simba, a leading mattress-in-a-box retailer based in the UK, formed a strategic partnership to sell the Simba Hybrid mattress-in-a-box exclusively in Canada. The Simba Hybrid mattress-in-a-box was launched in Q1 2019 through both online and through the Company’s network of retail stores.

In 2018 and 2019, SCC launched a number of new Accessories such as weighted blankets, silk pillowcases, eye masks, Hotel Collection sheets, throws in a variety of materials from faux cashmere to faux fur, LuxeSilk™ Duvets, baby mattresses and pet beds. SCC intends to continue to expand its product offerings by entering into business partnerships with other mattress and Accessories players that will be featured in its network of stores and on its eCommerce platforms, branded websites and in-house product innovations.

Given the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company’s ability to source new products may be negatively impacted, resulting in the deferral of new product launches. The availability of products and the transportation of these products to the Company’s distribution centres could be impacted by border restrictions as well as any closure of certain non-essential businesses. For risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, refer to the section “Forward-looking Information” in this MD&A.

Store Expansion Opportunities

SCC has the ability to add new stores in existing markets (in-fill stores), in satellite markets and in new markets. An existing market or in-fill opportunity is a pre-existing built out region in which SCC already has an established store presence serviced by one or more existing distribution centres. A satellite market is a new region that is adjacent or close to a pre-existing built-out region, which benefits from advertising spill and is serviced logistically from the nearby distribution centre. A new market is a brand new territory in which the Company did not previously operate, requiring incremental advertising and distribution logistics.

Sleep Country has successfully expanded every year since its inception in 1994. The capacity to expand its store presence depends on SCC’s ability to choose new locations and new markets, to hire and train new employees for its stores and distribution centres and, in the case of expansion into new markets, create top-of-mind brand awareness of its Banners.

In 2015, Sleep Country opened its first mall store. Since then, Sleep Country has opened 10 additional stores within enclosed malls, bringing the overall store count to 11. Stores within enclosed malls represent an additional growth opportunity to service the captive audience that is shopping in these malls and further allows the Company to capitalize on the decline of departmental stores.

SCC’s site selection strategy is focused on maximizing sales per store and per region throughout its store network. Prior to identifying and ultimately selecting locations for new stores, management conducts extensive analysis utilizing the following factors: (i) demographics such as population density, household income and population growth rates; (ii) store visibility and accessibility; (iii) lease and advertising economics; (iv) competitive dynamics; (v) overlap with existing stores and distribution footprint; and (vi) potential cannibalization of existing stores. In terms of regional expansion, once a target area has been determined, management focuses on ensuring SCC can successfully incorporate its culture, vision and mission into the new region. To help accomplish this, SCC has traditionally started by ensuring the core of its new regional team is comprised of existing employees in leadership roles who are willing to relocate. The experienced team is then supplemented with local hires, who receive extensive training including in classroom, in store, and throughout the organization (i.e. distribution centres, thereby learning SCC’s service model and culture).

8 In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated uncertainties, the Company temporarily deferred its Q1 and Q2 scheduled new store openings to preserve its resources. Prior to the Q1 government mandated lockdown, the Company had taken possession of four new store leases, which were in the process of being built out. During the lockdown, construction was halted. Once the government lockdown restrictions eased, construction of the four new stores resumed and was, thereafter, completed. Subsequent to Q2 2020, in July 2020, the Company opened the four new store locations. Refer to section entitled “Outlook” for additional information and specific guidance on further capital investments for fiscal 2020. For risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, refer to the section “Forward-looking Information” in this MD&A.

The following table summarizes SCC’s store count for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.

Q2 YTD 2020 2019 2020 2019 Number of stores, beginning of period 276 265 276 264 Stores newly opened - 6 - 7 Number of stores, end of period 276 271 276 271 Number of stores in new store design, end of period 202 183 Stores relocated - - 2 - Stores renovated - 8 7 21

Enhanced Store Design

An enhanced store design was first introduced in certain existing stores in 2014. As at June 30, 2020, there are 202 stores or 73% of the store network that feature the new store design, of which 66 are new stores, 126 are renovated stores and 10 are relocations of existing stores. Over time, SCC intends to select additional stores to renovate to this new design. The Company will continue to feature the new design in all new stores it opens.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated uncertainties, the Company temporarily paused its scheduled store renovations to its enhanced store design to preserve resources. Refer to section entitled “Outlook” for additional information and specific guidance on further capital investments for fiscal 2020. For risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, refer to the section “Forward-looking Information” in this MD&A.

Competition

The retail mattresses industry is highly competitive and includes national and regional full-line furniture retailers, departmental retailers, small regional specialty mattresses retailers and online mattress-in-a-box retailers. Of the leading retailers in the mattresses industry, Sleep Country is the only national specialty mattresses retailer. Management believes it can maintain a leading position through its highly differentiated service and operating model that has been unrivalled in execution over the last 25 years and serves as a significant barrier to entry.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have an impact on the Company’s competitive landscape. For risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, refer to the section “Forward-looking Information” in this MD&A.

Supply Chain

The Company relies on third parties manufacturers to obtain its merchandise. Merchandise is sourced domestically in Canada as well as from countries around the world (U.S., China, Italy and Spain) and can be adversely impacted by political, regulatory, economic and legal factors including duties, tariffs, sanctions, pandemics, currency exchange rates along with other factors relating to foreign trade.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have an impact on the Company’s ability to source certain merchandise. For risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, refer to the section “Forward-looking Information” in this MD&A.

9 Seasonality

The retail mattresses industry is affected by seasonal conditions. SCC typically experiences higher sales and a greater proportion of income during the third and fourth quarters due to a concentration of summer season holidays in the third quarter and other seasonal factors. Sales have historically trended lower in the first quarter as consumers tighten their budgets after the holiday season. The cold winter weather in many parts of the country during the first quarter also tends to lower customers’ desire to shop. SCC expects these trends to continue for the foreseeable future. The average quarterly share of annual sales over the last three fiscal years, excluding Endy, is as follows:

First quarter 21% Second quarter 24% Third quarter 30% Fourth quarter 25%

Yearly total 100%

The uncertainty around the physical distancing measures and potential for another full or partial closure of the Company’s stores may alter the typical seasonal impact. Additionally, the uncertainty around the impact of COVID-19 on the overall economy leading to possible reductions and/or deferrals in purchases by the Company’s customers may also have an impact on seasonality. For risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, refer to the section “Forward-looking Information” in this MD&A.

Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

Cost of sales includes product related costs and the costs of SCC’s sales and distribution and operations (excluding distribution centre occupancy costs), net of volume rebates received from suppliers. Cost of sales is impacted by the number of stores, fluctuations in the volume of inventories sold, average unit selling prices (“AUSP”) and SCC’s ability to manage store level occupancy costs.

Product gross margin is affected by changes in sales product mix, suppliers’ term discounts, volume rebates, freight and inventory management.

The largest components of SCC’s sales costs are the sales associates’ compensation and store occupancy costs. The largest components of SCC’s distribution expenses are labour and delivery costs. The sales and distribution costs include the depreciation and amortization related to the sales and distribution assets.

Volume rebates are driven by the purchase volume of inventory from suppliers. Some suppliers also offer step-ups on higher volume achieved as additional incentives. Rebates on products sold are recorded as a reduction to cost of sales, while rebates on products held in inventory are recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of inventory.

The COVID-19 pandemic may have an impact on the Company’s ability to maintain its gross profit margin. The Company’s ability to obtain its merchandise at its current pricing levels may be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Company’s vendor rebate contracts may be negatively impacted as certain milestones within the various vendor agreements may not be achieved if purchases are materially impacted by the stores closures. For risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, refer to the section “Forward-looking Information” in this MD&A.

12 Outlook

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Company’s business (refer to section entitled “Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Company”).

In March 2020, the Company withdrew its initial 2020 outlook with respect to major capital expenditures for 2020 including:

• opening a minimum of 8 new stores;

• renovating 25 to 30 stores to feature the enhanced store design; and

• investing in a new in-store Point of Sale system, a new warehouse management system, new ERP system, and maintenance capital expenditures.

In July 2020, the Company reinstated and expects to invest in the following capital projects during the remainder of fiscal 2020, subject to the ability to complete the projects based on future COVID-19 regulations:

• open a minimum of 4 new stores;

• renovate 10 to 15 stores to feature the enhanced store design; and

• continue to invest in a new ERP system which will enhance the in-store point sales experience; improve warehouse and inventory management and provide more advanced analytics.

Additionally, the Company will focus on initiatives that support the Company’s growth and long-term stability within the constraints of the rapidly changing COVID-19 environment, including:

• continuing its investment on growing its online capabilities to enhance the customer experience;

• In November 2019, the Company launched its revitalized eCommerce website offering customers a better shopping experience.

• In Q1 2020, the Company promptly adapted to its new circumstances and, as part of servicing its valued customers through its eCommerce platforms, it created an exclusive online Sleep Experts team with the goal of engaging customers and providing them with live sales assistance. Customers are able to connect with an online Sleep Expert to get live support through a dedicated phone line and/or the Live Chat support available on the Company’s eCommerce platforms.

• continuing to expand merchandising opportunities through strategic partnerships; and

• refocusing its advertising spend from traditional media channels to more digital advertising to drive engagement across the marketing funnel as well as customer traffic to the Company’s eCommerce platforms.

The Company will not provide a longer-term outlook at this time.

There remains a significant degree of uncertainty due to the pandemic that may affect the operations and financial results of the Company. The Company is continuing to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on the business and making appropriate adjustments to reflect the continuously evolving environment.

15 8 Second Quarter 2020 versus Second Quarter 2019

Revenues

Revenues decreased by $51.7 million (31.0%) from $166.6 million in Q2 2019 to $114.9 million in Q2 2020 mainly as a result of the temporary closure of the Company’s 276 retail stores for an average of 54% of its normal operating days in Q2 2020. This decline was partially offset by an increase in online revenue. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

The decrease in total revenue was comprised of a decrease in mattresses and Accessories sales from Q2 2019. Q2 (C$ millions unless otherwise stated) 2020 2019 Change Change (%) Mattresses 90.1 133.7 (43.6) (32.6%) Accessories 24.8 32.9 (8.1) (24.6%) Total 114.9 166.6 (51.7) (31.0%)

Gross profit

Gross profit was $37.0 million in Q2 2020 compared to $49.7 million in Q2 2019, representing a decrease of $12.7 million. Gross profit margin increased by 2.4% to 32.2% for Q2 2020 from 29.8% for Q2 2019 primarily as a result of the following:

• inventory and other directly related expenses, net of volume rebates, increased as a % of revenue from 44.9% to 47.0%. The increased % was driven by the decline in revenue, higher delivery and direct product costs including lower volume rebates and terms discounts as a % of revenue;

• sales and distribution compensation expenses decreased as a % of revenue from 14.6% in Q2 2019 to 5.4% in Q2 2020. This decrease was attributable to government wage subsidies that the Company qualified for under the CEWS program, which partially offset the compensation expenses incurred by the Company during the period;

• store occupancy costs increased as a % of revenue from 3.3% in Q2 2019 to 5.0% in Q2 2020. This increase was due a decline in revenue caused by the temporary closure of the Company’s retail stores during the period; and

• depreciation expenses increased as a % of revenue from 6.7% in Q2 2019 to 9.5% in Q2 2020. This increase was due a decline in revenue caused by the temporary closure of the Company’s retail stores during the period.

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses

Total G&A expenses decreased by $0.2 million, or 0.7%, from $28.0 million in Q2 2019 to $27.8 million in Q2 2020, and, as a percentage of revenue, G&A increased from 16.8% of revenue in Q2 2019 to 24.2% of revenue in Q2 2020.

Notes:

(1) Media and advertising expenses decreased by $1.3 million. This decrease was due to a reduction in advertising activity in Q2 2020. The Company decided to cancel or reduce certain advertising initiatives in Q2 2020 as a result of the temporary closure of its stores for an average of 54% of its normal operating days in Q2 2020. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in online advertising and decrease in advertising credits during this period.

(2) Salaries, wages and benefits increased by $0.4 million mainly as a result of an increase in share-based compensation due to the departure of two executive employees in Q2 2019 and the corresponding forfeitures of their shares, which was partially offset by government wage subsidies that the Company qualified for under the CEWS program.

(3) Credit card and finance charges are variable costs. These costs increased as a percentage of revenue over Q2 2019 by 0.3% from prior year.

16 (4) Professional fees increased by $0.5 million from $0.5 million in Q2 2019 to $1.0 million in Q2 2020 mainly due to expenses related to the ERP implementation.

(5) G&A depreciation expense increased by $0.5 million from $2.5 million in Q2 2019 to $3.0 million in Q2 2020 mainly due to an increase in IFRS 16 related depreciation on the Company’s leased warehouses and intangible depreciation tied to the revamped eCommerce platform and Finance and Merchandising modules of the ERP implementation which was completed in Q4 2019; partially offset by a decrease in tangible depreciation.

EBITDA

EBITDA was $23.1 million for Q2 2020 compared to $35.3 million for Q2 2019, representing a decrease of $12.2 million (or 34.4%). The decrease is due to a decrease in gross profit as a result of the temporary store closures during this period. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

Operating EBITDA

Operating EBITDA was $24.5 million for Q2 2020 or 21.3% of revenue, compared to $35.6 million for Q2 2019, or 21.4% of revenue, representing a decrease of $11.1 million (or 31.3%) mainly due to the decrease in EBITDA, partially offset by the favorable impact of adjustment related to higher share-based compensation and non-recurring ERP implementation expenses. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

Finance related expenses

Finance related expenses increased by $4.4 million from $5.3 million in Q2 2019 to $9.7 million in Q2 2020 mainly due to the one-time $4.3 million adjustment on Endy’s contingent consideration liability.

Income taxes

Net income (loss) before income taxes in Q2 2020 decreased by $17.4 million from $16.7 million in Q2 2019 to ($0.7 million) in Q2 2020 resulting in a decrease in income taxes by $4.7 million in Q2 2020.

Net Income (loss)

Net Income for Q2 2020 decreased by $12.7 million from $12.2 million in Q2 2019 to a loss of $0.5 million in Q2 2020 (Q2 2020 – ($0.01) per share; Q2 2019 - $0.33 per share). This net decrease is mainly attributable to the decrease in gross profit due to the temporary store closures during this period, in addition, to an increase in finance related expenses due to the one-time $4.3 million adjustment on Endy’s contingent consideration liability compared to Q2 2019.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income (See “Non-IFRS Measures) for Q2 2020 decreased by $7.5 million (or 60%) from $12.5 million ($0.34 per share) in Q2 2019 to $5.0 million ($0.14 per share) in Q2 2020 when compared to Q2 2019.

17 9 YTD 2020 versus YTD 2019

Revenues

Revenues decreased by $49.4 million (15.6%) from $315.9 million in YTD 2019 to $266.5 million in YTD 2020 mainly as a result of the temporary closure of the Company’s 276 retail stores for an average of 33% of its normal operating days in YTD 2020. This decline was partially offset by an increase in online revenue. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

The decrease in total revenue was comprised of a decrease in mattresses and Accessories sales from YTD 2019.

Gross profit

Gross profit was $78.1 million in YTD 2020 compared to $92.1 million in YTD 2019, representing a decrease of $14.0 million. Gross profit margin increased by 0.2% to 29.3% for YTD 2020 from 29.1% for YTD 2019 primarily as a result of the following:

• inventory and other directly related expenses, net of volume rebates, increased as a % of revenue from 45.3% to 46.2%. The increased % was driven by the decline in revenue, higher delivery and direct product costs including lower volume rebates and terms discounts as a % of revenue;

• sales and distribution compensation expenses decreased as a % of revenue from 14.7% in YTD 2019 to 10.9% in YTD 2020. This decrease was attributable to government wage subsidies that the Company qualified for under the CEWS program, which partially offset the compensation expenses incurred by the Company during the period;

• store occupancy costs increased as a % of revenue from 3.6% in YTD 2019 to 4.6% in YTD 2020. This increase was due a decline in revenue caused by the temporary closure of the Company’s retail stores during the period; and

• depreciation expenses increased as a % of revenue from 6.6% in YTD 2019 to 8.2% in YTD 2020. This increase was due a decline in revenue caused by the temporary closure of the Company’s retail stores during the period.

Total G&A expenses $ 56.8 21.3% $ 54.5 17.2% $ 2.3

Notes:

(1) Media and advertising expenses decreased by $1.9 million. This decrease was due to a reduction in advertising activity YTD 2020. The Company decided to cancel or reduce certain advertising initiatives in Q2 2020 as a result of the temporary closure of its stores for an average of 33% of its normal operating days YTD 2020, due to the pandemic. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in online advertising and decrease in advertising credits during the period;

(2) Salaries, wages and benefits increased by $1.0 million mainly as a result of an increase in compensation expenses incurred in the regular course of business including merit increases and share-based compensation, due to the departure of two executive employees in Q2 2019 and the corresponding forfeitures of their shares. This increase was partially offset by government wage subsidies that the Company qualified for under the CEWS program.

18 (3) Credit card and finance charges are variable costs. These costs increased as a percentage of revenue over YTD 2019 by 0.3% from prior year.

(4) Occupancy charges increased YTD 2020 by $0.5 million due to an increase in operating costs at the Company’s distribution centres YTD 2019.

(5) Professional fees increased by $1.5 million from $0.9 million YTD 2019 to $2.4 million YTD 2020 mainly due to expenses related to the ERP implementation.

(6) Telecommunication and information technology expenses increased by $0.4 million YTD 2020 from $2.5 million in YTD 2019 to $2.9 million in YTD 2020 mainly driven by the increase in ERP software subscriptions as compared to YTD 2019;

(7) Mattress recycling and donations expenses increased by $0.4 million YTD 2020 from $1.2 million to $1.6 million mainly due to increased donations to provide support to communities during these unprecedented and challenging times.

(8) G&A depreciation expense increased by $0.9 million from $5.5 million YTD 2019 to $6.4 million YTD 2020 mainly due to an increase in IFRS 16 related depreciation on the Company’s leased warehouse and intangible depreciation tied to the revamped eCommerce platform and Finance and Merchandising module of the ERP implementation which was completed in Q4 2019; partially offset by a decrease in tangible depreciation.

EBITDA

EBITDA was $49.6 million for YTD 2020 compared to $63.9 million for YTD 2019, representing a decrease of $14.3 million (or 22.4%). The decrease was mainly due a decrease in gross profit as a result of the temporary store closures during this period. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

Operating EBITDA

Operating EBITDA was $52.3 million for YTD 2020 or 19.6% of revenue, compared to $65.1 million for YTD 2019, or 20.6% of revenue, representing a decrease of $12.8 million (or 19.6%). This change is mainly due to the decrease in EBITDA, partially offset by the favorable impact of adjustments related to higher share-based compensation and non-recurring ERP implementation expenses. See “Non-IFRS Measures”.

Finance related expenses

Finance related expenses increased by $4.7 million from $10.5 million in YTD 2019 to $15.2 million in YTD 2020 due to the following reasons:

• an one-time $4.3 million adjustment on Endy’s contingent consideration liability in addition to the periodic accretion expense related to the Endy acquisition in December 2018.

• an increase of $0.1 million in interest expense on the senior secured credit facility. The Company’s average debt balance increased mainly due to the additional debt taken to enhance the Company’s cash reserves in YTD 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Income taxes

Net income before income taxes decreased by $21.5 million in YTD 2020 from $27.6 million in YTD 2019 to $6.1 million in YTD 2020 resulting in a decrease in income taxes by $6.0 million in YTD 2020.

Net income

Net income for YTD 2020 decreased by $15.5 million from $20.0 million in YTD 2019 compared to $4.5 million in YTD 2020 (YTD 2020 - $0.12 per share; YTD 2019 - $0.54 per share). This net decrease is mainly attributable to the decrease in gross profit due to the temporary store closures during this period, in addition, to an increase in finance related expenses due to the one-time $4.3 million adjustment on Endy’s contingent consideration liability compared to YTD 2020.

Adjusted Net Income

Adjusted Net Income (See “Non-IFRS Measures) for YTD 2020 decreased by $9.9 million (or 46.7%) from $21.2 million ($0.57 per share) in YTD 2019 to $11.3 million ($0.31 per share) in YTD 2020 when compared to YTD 2019.

19 10 Summary of Quarterly Results

The Company’s revenue is impacted by seasonality, with the third quarter typically generating the greatest contribution to revenues, and the first quarter the least. Accordingly, results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year. The following table displays the Company’s financial performance for the last eight quarters and it has been prepared in accordance with IFRS, except where indicated.

20 11 Segment Performance

As at June 30, 2020, the Company manages its business on the basis of two operating segments, SCC and Endy, which is consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker, the Chief Executive Officer. The Company has only one reportable segment as the operating segments meet the aggregation criteria of IFRS 8. The Company aggregates these reporting segments because the nature of products, services, methods of distribution and economic characteristics are similar. The Company operates in Canada, which is its country of domicile.

12 Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

SCC’s primary sources of cash consist of existing cash balances, operating activities and available credit facilities. SCC’s primary uses of cash are to fund operating expenses, capital expenditures, finance costs, taxation expenses, debt principal payments, dividends, business acquisitions and share repurchases. Historically, SCC has experienced higher sales and EBITDA in the second half of the year, but given the uncertainty tied to the pandemic, the Company is monitoring results closely and reacting in a prudent and timely manner to preserve resources.

Since March 2020, Sleep Country has been operating in an unprecedented environment due to the pandemic. The Company is taking actions, considered prudent and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, to manage its liquidity and ensure financial flexibility. These measures include the following:

• the Company qualified for the wage subsidies under the CEWS government program, which provided the Company with a 75% wage subsidy, on eligible remuneration for eligible employees to a weekly maximum of $847; • deferred between 25% and 50% of the base pay for the Company’s NEOs; • deferred the Board’s remaining 2020 cash compensation; • expanded the Company’s credit agreement with an incremental $50M accordion; • temporarily suspending the Company’s dividend; o The Company intends on reinstating the dividend at a time and level considered prudent by the Company's Board following resumption of normal operating conditions for such period of time as the Board considers necessary to ensure the risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic are unlikely to have a material ongoing impact;

• suspending share buybacks on the Company’s NCIB program; o The Company expects to make purchases at a time and level considered prudent by the Company's Board following resumption of normal operating conditions for such period of time as the Board considers necessary to ensure the risks and uncertainties associated with the pandemic are unlikely to have a material ongoing impact;

• continuing to implement additional cost-saving measures across the business.

Management and the Board have decided to reinstate the following 2020 capital expenditures that were previously postponed:

• a minimum of 4 new store openings in 2020;

• the renovation of 10 to 15 existing stores to feature the enhanced store design; and

• the continued investment into Phase 2 of its new ERP system.

Refer to section entitled “Outlook” for additional information and specific guidance on these capital investments for fiscal 2020.

Management believes cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand and amounts available under SCC’s credit facilities in conjunction with the temporary liquidity measures described above will be sufficient to meet its future cash requirements. However, SCC’s ability to fund future cash requirements will depend on its future operating performance, which could be affected by general economic, financial and other factors including factors beyond its control, such as the risks associated with the current COVID-19 pandemic, despite the risk management strategies that management puts in place. See the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the AIF for a discussion of the various risks and uncertainties that may affect the Company’s ability to fund its future cash requirements. For risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, refer to the section “Forward-looking Information” in this MD&A.

21 Management reviews new store openings, acquisitions and investment opportunities in the normal course of its business and may, if suitable opportunities arise, realize these opportunities to meet SCC’s business strategy. Historically, the funding for any such acquisitions or investments has come from cash flow generated from operating activities and/or additional debt.

A summary of net cash flows by activities is presented below for YTD 2020 and YTD 2019:

(C$ thousands unless otherwise stated) Q2 2020 Q2 2019 Cash flows provided by operating activities $ 57,267 $ 35,364 Cash flows used in investing activities (5,217) (18,790) Cash flows provided by/(used in) financing activities 3,748 (31,632) Net increase (decrease) in cash 55,798 (15,058) Cash at beginning of the year 44,040 29,988

Cash at end of the period $ 99,838 $ 14,930

Net cash flows provided by operating activities

Net cash flows provided by operating activities in YTD 2020 were $57.3 million comprised of the positive impact of cash generated from operating activities of $50.0 million and cash generated of $7.3 million as a result of a decrease in non-cash items relating to operating activities (“working capital”). The decrease in working capital in YTD 2020 was primarily driven by lower receivables, higher customer deposits and higher trade and other payables, partially offset by higher inventories and prepaids and deposits.

Net cash flows generated from operating activities in YTD 2019 were $35.4 million comprised of the positive impact of cash generated from operating activities of $57.5 million offset by $22.1 million of cash used as a result of an increase in non-cash items relating to working capital. The increase in working capital in YTD 2019 was primarily driven by higher inventories, higher trade and other receivables, higher prepaid expenses and deposits, lower trade and other payables and lower customer deposits.

Net cash flows used in investing activities

Net cash flows used in investing activities in YTD 2020 and YTD 2019 consists primarily of investments in capital expenditure related to new store openings, store renovations, initial spend on the investment in the new ERP system and eCommerce platform, and on store hardware refresh.

Net cash flows provided by/used in by financing activities

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $3.7 million for YTD 2020, consisting primarily of net additional loan of $34.2 million taken in YTD 2020 through the senior secured credit facility as a precautionary measure in response to the pandemic. The increase was partially offset by dividends on the common shares of $7.1 million, the repayment of lease obligations of $13.7 million and interest payments of $9.3 million on lease liabilities and the senior secured credit facility.

Net cash flows used in financing activities were $31.6 million for YTD 2019, consisting primarily of dividends on the common shares of $14.1 million, interest payments of $9.2 million on the senior secured credit facility and finance leases, repayment of finance leases of $15.5 million, partially offset by net additional loan of $7.2 million taken in YTD 2019 through the senior secured credit facility.

Contractual obligations

There were no substantial changes to the Company’s contractual obligations reported in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Annual MD&A”), a copy of which can be accessed under Company’s profile on SEDAR.

Capital Resources

Senior secured credit facility

On January 1, 2019, the Company held a senior secured credit facility of $210.0 million, which was scheduled to mature on November 29, 2023.

On May 4, 2020, the Company secured additional liquidity to manage the impact of COVID-19 on operations. The senior secured credit agreement was amended to include an incremental $50.0 million accordion. Pursuant to this amendment, the facility was increased from $210.0 million to $260.0 million, which continues to mature on November 23, 2023. Under the terms of the senior secured credit facility, the Company is required to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants. The Company is compliant with all covenants as at June 30, 2020.

The senior secured credit facility is secured by all of the present and after acquired personal property of the Company. As at June 30, 2020, the

22 senior secured credit facility balance outstanding was $210.0 million (December 31, 2019 – $175.8 million), net of transaction costs of $0.9 million (December 31, 2019 – $0.7 million).

The senior secured credit facility allows the debt to be held in Canadian or US dollars. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Company held the majority of the debt in US dollars for 84 days as the debt held in US dollars had a lower interest rate. To mitigate the foreign exchange risk, the Company entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to sell US dollars in the equal amount of the debt with an overall impact of $nil recorded in general and administrative expenses in the condensed interim consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As at June 30, 2020, the debt is held in Canadian dollars and no forward foreign exchange contracts were outstanding. Interest on the senior secured credit facility is based on the prime or bankers’ acceptance rates plus applicable margins based on the achievement of certain targets, as defined by the amended and restated senior secured credit agreement. As at June 30, 2020, the applicable margin for bankers’ acceptances was 200 basis points and the applicable margin for prime rate loans was 100 basis points.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

SCC did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements as at June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, nor did it have any subsequent to June 30, 2020.

Related party transactions

There were no substantial changes to the Company’s related party transactions reported in the 2019 Annual MD&A.

13 Risk Factors

SCC’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and cash flow and fair value interest risks), credit risk, liquidity risk, capital risk and technology risk. SCC’s overall risk management program and business practices seek to minimize any potential adverse effects on SCC’s financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by the senior management team and is reviewed by SCC’s Board.

For an understanding of other potential risks, including non-financial risks, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the AIF. For risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19, refer to the section entitled “Forward-looking Information” in this MD&A.

Market Risk

Market risk is the loss that may arise from changes in factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and the impact these factors may have on other counter-parties.

Foreign Exchange Risk

SCC’s operating results are reported in Canadian dollars. A portion of the Company’s merchandise purchases are denominated in US dollars which results in foreign currency exposure related to fluctuations between the Canadian and US dollars. The Company does not currently use foreign exchange options or forward contracts to hedge its foreign currency risk relating to merchandise purchases. A sudden increase in the US dollar relative to the Canadian dollar could result in higher costs to the Company, which could in turn result in increased prices and reduced sales, decreased profit margins and could negatively impact the Company’s business and financial results.

The Company’s senior secured credit facility allows the Company to borrow in Canadian and US dollars. To mitigate any foreign exchange risk related to its US dollar denominated debt, the Company enters into forward foreign exchange contracts to sell US dollars in an amount equal to the principal amount of its US dollar denominated borrowings.

Cash Flow and Fair Value Interest Risk

SCC has no significant interest-bearing assets. SCC’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.

SCC’s primary interest rate risk arises from long-term debt. SCC manages its exposure to changes in interest rates by using a combination of fixed and variable rate debt and varying lengths of terms to achieve the desired proportion of variable and fixed rate debt. An increase (or decrease) in interest rates by 1% would result in a $2.1 million increase (or decrease) on the annual interest expense of the credit facility. SCC has leases that carry interest at variable rates.

23 Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of losses due to failure of the Company’s customers or other counter-parties to meet their payment obligations. Credit risk arises from deposits with banks, as well as credit exposures from mattress vendors for the payment of volume and co-operative advertising rebate amounts and balances owed from third-party financing companies under the various financing plans the Company offers its customers. In accordance with SCC’s investment practice, all deposits are held at banks possessing a credit rating of AA- or better. Sales to retail customers are settled in cash, financed by third-party financing companies or by using major credit cards. The Company transfers the credit risk for financing plans to third-party financing companies. The third-party financing company that SCC deals with carries a minimum rating of BBB or better.

There are no significant impaired receivables that have not been provided for in the allowance. There are no amounts considered past due or impaired.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk SCC will not be able to meet a demand for cash or fund its obligations as they come due. It also includes the risk of not being able to liquidate assets in a timely manner at a reasonable price. Prudent liquidity management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities.

Capital Risk

SCC’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for its common shareholders in the form of cash dividends, benefits to other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to minimize the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, SCC may issue new shares, purchase its own shares or sell assets to reduce long-term debt.

Technology Risk

The company continues to undertake investments in new IT systems to improve the operating effectiveness of the organization. This includes the ongoing implementation of a new cloud based eCommerce platform, a new in-store Point of Sale system, a new warehouse management system and new ERP system. Failure to successfully migrate from legacy systems to the new systems or a significant disruption in the company’s current IT systems during the implementation of the new systems could result in a lack of accurate data to enable management to effectively manage day to day operations of the business or achieve its operational objectives, causing significant disruptions to the business and potential financial losses.

14 Critical Accounting Estimates

A summary of significant accounting policies is included in Note 3 of SCC’s 2019 audited annual consolidated financial statements. The Company’s critical accounting estimates are included in Note 4 of SCC’s 2019 audited annual consolidated financial statements and are described below.

Critical accounting estimates requires management to make certain judgements and estimates, which may differ from actual results. Accounting estimates are based on historical experience and other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the time frame and circumstances. Changes in management’s accounting estimates can have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company for Q2 2020 have been prepared using critical accounting estimates consistent with those as included in Note 4 of SCC’s 2019 audited annual consolidated financial statements, with the exception of:

Impairment of definite life intangibles, property and equipment and right-of-use assets:

At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses whether there were events or changes in circumstances that would indicate that the carrying value of a Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) or group of CGUs was impaired. The Company considers external and internal factors, including overall financial performance and relevant entity specific factors, as part of this assessment. As of June 30, 2020, there were no indicators requiring an impairment test to be performed.

24 Impairment of goodwill and indefinite life intangibles

The Company also reviewed for indicators of impairment related to goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for the Sleep Country and Endy CGUs at June 30, 2020. Actual results through June 30, 2020 met or exceeded forecasts used during the impairment test performed as of March 31, 2020. Stores began re-opening and there were no additional events that occurred during the period. Therefore, as at June 30, 2020, there were no indicators requiring an impairment test to be performed.

15 Financial Instruments

At June 30, 2020, the financial instruments consisted of cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, customer deposits, senior secured credit facilities, contingent consideration liability and lease liabilities.

The carrying values of cash, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables and customer deposits approximate their fair values due to the relatively short periods to maturity of these financial instruments. The carrying value of the senior secured credit facility approximates its fair value as the terms and conditions of the borrowing arrangements are comparable to market terms and conditions as at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The inputs to the measurement of the fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions are Level 3 inputs. The fair value measurements were made using a discounted cash flow model. Significant model inputs included expected future operating cash flows (determined with reference to each specific acquired business) and a discount rate of 15%. The discount rate is attributable to the level of risk related to economic growth factors combined with the length of the contingent payment periods; the dispersion was driven by unique characteristics of the businesses acquired and the respective terms for these contingent payments. The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, which are discussed above under the heading “Risk Factors”.

16 Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining appropriate internal controls over financial reporting (“ICFR”). ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of the Company’s financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS. In designing ICFR, it should be recognized that due to inherent limitations, any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and cannot provide absolute assurance with respect to the prevention or detection of misstatements. Additionally, management is required to use judgment in evaluating ICFR.

Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company and its subsidiary is gathered and reported to senior management on a timely basis so that appropriate decisions can be made regarding public disclosure.

17 Current and Future Accounting Standards

The International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board have not issued any current or future accounting standards applicable to the Company that have not been applied in preparing these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

18 Outstanding Share Data

As of the date hereof, 36,669,873 common shares and no Class A common shares of the Company are issued and outstanding. As of the date hereof, 1,222,777 stock options to purchase an equivalent number of common shares, 227,926 performance share units, 51,046 restricted share units and 60,183 deferred share units are issued and outstanding. For further details concerning the rights, privileges and restrictions attached to the common shares and the Class A common shares, please refer to the section entitled “Description of Share Capital” in the AIF.

19 Non-IFRS Measures

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with IFRS. In order to provide additional insight into the business, to provide investors with supplemental measures of its operating performance and to highlight trends in its business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS financial measures, the Company has also provided in this MD&A certain non-IFRS measures, including “Same Store Sales” or “SSS”, “Operating Days”, “EBITDA”, “Operating EBITDA”, “Operating EBITDA Margin”, “Adjusted Net Income” and “Basic and Diluted Adjusted EPS” each as defined below. These measures are provided as additional information to complement IFRS measures by providing further understanding of the Company’s results of operations from management’s perspective. Management also uses non-IFRS measures in order to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period, to prepare annual operating budgets and forecasts

25 and to determine components of management compensation. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors and other interested parties frequently use non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of issuers.

Readers are cautioned that these non-IFRS measures are not recognized under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. They are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial information reported under IFRS. See below for further details concerning how the Company calculates these non-IFRS measures and for reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS measures.

Same Store Sales (SSS)

SSS is a non-IFRS measure used in the retail industry to compare sales derived from established stores over a certain period compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company has embarked on an omnichannel approach to engaging with customers. This approach allows customers to shop online for home delivery or purchase in any store locations. Due to the customer cross-channel behavior, the Company reports a single comparable sales metrics, inclusive of store and eCommerce channels. SSS calculation excludes sales of excess inventory to third parties. SSS helps to explain what portion of revenue growth can be attributed to growth in established stores and what portion can be attributed to the opening of new stores. SCC calculates SSS as the percentage increase or decrease in sales of stores opened for at least 12 complete months relative to the same period in the prior year.

Due to the temporary closure of the Company’s retail stores due to the pandemic, SSS is not currently representative of its normal business operations and consequently Q2 2020 and YTD 2020 SSS measures not been included in this MD&A.

EBITDA and Operating EBITDA

EBITDA and Operating EBITDA are used by SCC to assess its operating performance.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted for:

• finance related expenses;

• income taxes;

• depreciation and amortization; and

• interest and other expenses (income) – net.

Operating EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for:

• ERP implementation expenses; and

• share-based compensation.

26 Adjusted Net Income
