Nature of Operations and Principles of Consolidation Description of Business The Simply Good Foods Company (“Simply Good Foods” or the “Company”) is a consumer packaged food and beverage company that aims to lead the nutritious snacking movement with trusted brands that offer a variety of convenient, innovative, great-tasting, better-for-you snacks and meal replacements, and other product offerings. The product portfolio the Company develops, markets and sells consists primarily of protein bars, ready-to-drink (“RTD”) beverages, sweet and salty snacks and confectionery products marketed under the Quest, Atkins, and OWYN brand names. Simply Good Foods is poised to expand its wellness platform through innovation and organic growth along with acquisition opportunities in the nutritional snacking space. On April 29, 2024, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire Only What You Need, Inc. (“OWYN”), a plant-based protein food company (the “OWYN Acquisition”), for approximately $ 280.0 million. On June 13, 2024, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the OWYN Acquisition by acquiring 100% of the equity interests for a cash purchase price at closing of $ 281.9 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. Our nutritious snacking platform consists of brands that specialize in providing products for consumers that follow certain nutritional philosophies and health-and-wellness trends: Quest for consumers seeking a variety of protein-rich foods and beverages that also limit sugars and simple carbohydrates, Atkins for those following a low-carbohydrate lifestyle or seeking to manage weight or blood sugar levels, and OWYN for consumers seeking protein-rich beverages that are plant-based and tested for the top nine allergens that also limit sugars and simple carbohydrates. We distribute our products in major retail channels, primarily in North America, including grocery, club, and mass merchandise, as well as through e-commerce, convenience, specialty, and other channels. Our portfolio of nutritious snacking brands gives us a strong platform with which to introduce new products, expand distribution, and attract new consumers to our products. The common stock of Simply Good Foods is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SMPL.” Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Simply Good Foods and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Business Combination On April 29, 2024 , the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Simply Good Foods, USA, Inc. entered into a Purchase Agreement to acquire OWYN, a plant-based protein food company, for approximately $ 280.0 million. On June 13, 2024, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the OWYN Acquisition by acquiring 100% of the equity interests for a cash purchase price at closing of $ 281.9 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments. We acquired OWYN as a part of our vision to lead the nutritious snacking movement with trusted brands that offer a variety of convenient, innovative, great-tasting, better-for-you snacks and meal replacements that will now offer plant-based products to a wider market of consumers. The OWYN Acquisition was funded through a combination of incremental borrowings under our outstanding Term Facility, as defined below, totaling $ 250.0 million and cash on hand. In the second fiscal quarter of 2025, the Company received a post-closing release from escrow of approximately $ 1.7 million related to net working capital adjustments, resulting in a total net consideration paid of $ 280.2 million as of May 31, 2025. Business transaction costs within the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025, were $ 0.8 million, which consisted of legal, accounting, and other costs. The OWYN Acquisition was accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), which requires, among other things, assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair value. The following table sets forth the preliminary purchase price allocation of the OWYN Acquisition to the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired at the date of the Acquisition, in thousands. The preliminary purchase price allocation may be adjusted as a result of the finalization of the Company’s purchase price allocation procedures related to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed; including, but not limited to, certain customary post-closing adjustments such as the finalization of working capital, tax return finalization, and other adjustments. 10 Table of Contents The preliminary June 13, 2024, fair value is as follows: Assets acquired: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,476 Accounts receivable, net 14,214 Inventories (1) 38,955 Prepaid assets 563 Property and equipment, net 136 Intangible assets, net (2) 243,626 Other long-term assets 6 Liabilities assumed: Accounts payable 20,378 Other current liabilities 3,753 Deferred tax liability (3) 41,513 Total identifiable net assets 233,332 Goodwill (4) 46,840 Total assets acquired and liabilities assumed $ 280,172 (1) Inventory was estimated using the comparative sales method, which quantifies the fair value of inventory based on the expected sales price of the subject inventory, reduced for: (i) all costs expected to be incurred in its completion/disposition efforts; and (ii) a profit on those costs. (2) Intangible assets were recorded at fair value consistent with ASC 820 as a result of the OWYN Acquisition. Intangible assets consisted of $ 223.0 million of brand and $ 20.5 million of customer relationships. The useful lives of the intangible assets are disclosed in Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair value measurement of the assets and liabilities was based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows and market comparable data and companies. The fair value of the indefinite-lived brand asset was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method of the income approach, wherein the net earnings attributable to the asset are isolated from other “contributory assets” in order to estimate the cash flows solely attributable to the asset over its remaining economic life. The fair value of the customer relationship intangible asset was estimated using the with/without method of the income approach, wherein the value is estimated by comparing the overall business cash flows with the customer relationships in place to the cash flows in a hypothetical scenario where the customer relationships are not in place. The significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value under the with/without method include the time to recreate the asset, profitability under both scenarios, and the estimated discount rate. (3) Primarily as a result of the fair value attributable to the identifiable intangible assets, the deferred income tax liability was $ 41.5 million. (4) Goodwill was recorded at fair value consistent with ASC 820 as a result of the OWYN Acquisition. Amounts recorded for goodwill created in an acquisition structured as a stock purchase for tax are generally not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. As such, the acquired goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The final determination of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is expected to be completed in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2025. Measurement period adjustments are recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustments are determined and calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In the second fiscal quarter of 2025, a measurement period adjustment of $ 1.7 million was recorded to goodwill. The final fair value determination of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be completed prior to one year from the transaction completion, consistent with ASC 805. 11 Table of Contents The results of OWYN’s operations have been included in the Simply Good Foods’ Consolidated Financial Statements since the acquisition date. The Company has not disclosed earnings from the acquired OWYN business as they are immaterial. The following table provides net sales from the acquired OWYN business included in the Company’s results: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended (In thousands) May 31, 2025 May 31, 2025 Net sales $ 33,551 $ 99,611 Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information Pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined business that would have been reported had the OWYN Acquisition been completed at the beginning of the fiscal year 2024, nor is it representative of future operating results of the Company. This unaudited pro forma combined financial information is prepared based on ASC 805 period end guidance. The Company and the legacy OWYN entity have different fiscal year ends, with Simply Good Foods’ fiscal year being the last Saturday of August while the legacy OWYN business fiscal year was December 31. Because the year ends differ by more than 93 days, OWYN’s financial information is required to be adjusted to a period within 93 days of Simply Good Foods’ fiscal period end. In addition to these period end adjustments, the pro forma results include certain nonrecurring adjustments that were directly related to the business combination, including business transaction costs, as disclosed above. The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents combined results of the Company assuming the OWYN Acquisition occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 2024: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended (In thousands) May 25, 2024 May 25, 2024 Net sales $ 364,606 $ 1,034,114 Net income $ 38,887 $ 96,060 4.

Long-Term Debt and Line of Credit On July 7, 2017, the Company (through certain of its subsidiaries) entered into a credit agreement with Barclays Bank PLC and other parties (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement at that time provided for (i) a term facility of $ 200.0 million (“Term Facility”) with a seven -year maturity and (ii) a revolving credit facility of up to $ 75.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a five -year maturity. Substantially concurrent with the consummation of the business combination which formed the Company between Conyers Park Acquisition Corp. and NCP-ATK Holdings, Inc. on July 7, 2017, the full $ 200.0 million of the Term Facility (the “Term Loan”) was drawn. On November 7, 2019, the Company entered into a second amendment (the “Incremental Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to increase the principal borrowed on the Term Facility by $ 460.0 million. The Term Facility together with the incremental borrowing make up the Initial Term Loans (as defined in the Incremental Facility Amendment). The Incremental Facility Amendment was executed to partially finance the acquisition of Quest Nutrition, LLC on November 7, 2019. No amounts under the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the Incremental Facility Amendment. Effective as of December 16, 2021, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Extension Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Extension Amendment provided for an extension of the stated maturity date of the Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) from July 7, 2022, to the earlier of (i) 91 days prior to the then-effective maturity date of the Initial Term Loans and (ii) December 16, 2026. On January 21, 2022, the Company entered into the “2022 Repricing Amendment” to the Credit Agreement. The 2022 Repricing Amendment, among other things, (i) reduced the interest rate per annum applicable to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effective date of the 2022 Repricing Amendment, (ii) reset the prepayment premium for the existing Initial Term Loans to apply to Repricing Transactions (as defined in the Credit Agreement) that occur within six months after the effective date of the 2022 Repricing Amendment, and (iii) implemented SOFR and related replacement provisions for LIBOR. On April 25, 2023, the Company entered into the “2023 Repricing Amendment” to the Credit Agreement. The 2023 Repricing Amendment, (i) reduced the interest rate per annum applicable to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to April 25, 2023, and (ii) provided for an extension of the maturity date of the Initial Term Loans from July 7, 2024, to March 17, 2027. On June 13, 2024, the Company entered into a sixth amendment (the “2024 Incremental Facility Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to increase the principal borrowed on the Term Facility by $ 250.0 million. The terms of the incremental borrowing are the same as the terms of the outstanding borrowings under the Term Facility. The 2024 Incremental Facility Amendment was executed to partially finance the OWYN Acquisition. No amounts under the Term Facility were repaid as a result of the execution of the 2024 Incremental Facility Amendment. On January 31, 2025, the Company entered into a seventh amendment (the “2025 Repricing Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to reduce the interest rate per annum applicable to the Initial Term Loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effective date of the 2025 Repricing Amendment. Effective as of the 2025 Repricing Amendment, the interest rate per annum for the Initial Term Loans is based on either: i. A base rate equaling the higher of (a) the “prime rate,” (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50 %, or (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00 % plus (x) 1.00 % margin for the Term Loan or (y) 2.00 % margin for the Revolving Credit Facility; or ii. SOFR, subject to a floor of 0.50 %, plus (x) 2.00 % margin for the Term Loan or (y) 3.00 % margin for the Revolving Credit Facility. 14 Table of Contents In connection with the closing of the 2025 Repricing Amendment, the Company expensed $ 0.7 million of non-deferrable third-party costs through General and administrative . The Simply Good Foods Company is not a borrower under the Credit Agreement and has not provided a guarantee of the Credit Agreement. Simply Good Foods USA, Inc., is the administrative borrower and certain other subsidiary holding companies are co-borrowers under the Credit Agreement. Each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries that is not a named borrower under the Credit Agreement has provided a guarantee on a secured basis. As security for the payment or performance of the debt under the Credit Agreement, the borrowers and the guarantors have pledged certain equity interests in their respective subsidiaries and granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of their domestic assets. All guarantors other than Quest Nutrition, LLC and Only What You Need, Inc. are holding companies with no assets other than their investments in their respective subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and other covenants that limit the Company’s ability to, among other things, incur and/or undertake asset sales and other dispositions, liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions and investments, consolidations, mergers, reorganizations and other fundamental changes, payment of dividends and other distributions to equity and warrant holders, and prepayments of material subordinated debt, in each case, subject to customary exceptions materially consistent with credit facilities of such type and size. The Revolving Credit Facility has a maximum total net leverage ratio equal to or less than 6.00 :1.00 contingent on credit extensions in excess of 30 % of the total amount of commitments available under the Revolving Credit Facility. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the credit facilities may result in an event of default. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of May 31, 2025, and August 31, 2024, respectively. Long-term debt consists of the following: (In thousands) May 31, 2025 August 31, 2024 Term Facility (effective rate of 6.3% at May 31, 2025) $ 250,000 $ 400,000 Less: Deferred financing fees 1,080 2,515 Long-term debt, net of deferred financing fees $ 248,920 $ 397,485 The Company is no t required to make principal payments on the Term Facility over the twelve months following the period ended May 31, 2025. The outstanding balance of the Term Facility is due upon its maturity in March 2027. As of May 31, 2025, the Company had letters of credit in the amount of $ 0.9 million outstanding. These letters of credit offset against the $ 75.0 million availability of the Revolving Credit Facility and exist to support two of the Company’s leased buildings. No amounts were drawn against these letters of credit as of May 31, 2025. The Company utilizes market approaches to estimate the fair value of certain outstanding borrowings by discounting anticipated future cash flows derived from the contractual terms of the obligations and observable market interest and foreign exchange rates. The Company carries debt at historical cost and discloses fair value. As of May 31, 2025, and August 31, 2024, the book value of the Company’s debt approximated fair value. The estimated fair value of the Term Loan is valued based on observable inputs and classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. 7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To increase the comparability of fair value measurements, a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is used: Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 2 – Valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 – Valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, consistent with reasonably available assumptions made by other market participants. These valuations require significant judgment. Components of the balance sheet such as accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, and others approximate fair value as of May 31, 2025. 15 8. Income Taxes The tax expense and the effective tax rate resulting from operations were as follows: Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended (In thousands) May 31, 2025 May 25, 2024 Income before income taxes $ 151,395 $ 145,213 Provision for income taxes $ 35,424 $ 35,195 Effective tax rate 23.4 % 24.2 % The effective tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025, was 0.8 % lower than the effective tax rate for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 25, 2024, which was primarily driven by permanent differences, principally stock-based compensation. 9.

Stockholders’ Equity Stock Repurchase Program The Company adopted a $ 50.0 million stock repurchase program on November 13, 2018. On April 13, 2022, and October 21, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had approved the addition of $ 50.0 million and $ 50.0 million, respectively, to its stock repurchase program, resulting in authorized stock repurchases of up to an aggregate of $ 150.0 million. Under the stock repurchase program, the Company may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specific period of time. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by the Company and does not have an expiration date. During the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 693,375 shares of common stock at an average share price of $ 35.10 per share. The Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended May 25, 2024. As of May 31, 2025, approximately $ 47.2 million remained available under the stock repurchase program. 12. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings or loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding. In computing diluted earnings per share, basic earnings per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive securities, including the Company’s employee stock options and non-vested stock units. In periods in which the Company has a net loss, diluted loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding as the effect of including common stock equivalents outstanding would be anti-dilutive. The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators used in the computations of both basic and diluted earnings per share: Thirteen Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended (In thousands, except per share data) May 31, 2025 May 25, 2024 May 31, 2025 May 25, 2024 Basic earnings per share computation: Numerator: Net income available to common stockholders $ 41,102 $ 41,334 $ 115,971 $ 110,018 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 100,923,690 100,024,230 100,787,087 99,852,203 Basic earnings per share from net income $ 0.41 $ 0.41 $ 1.15 $ 1.10 Diluted earnings per share computation: Numerator: Net income available for common stockholders $ 41,102 $ 41,334 $ 115,971 $ 110,018 Numerator for diluted earnings per share $ 41,102 $ 41,334 $ 115,971 $ 110,018 Denominator: Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 100,923,690 100,024,230 100,787,087 99,852,203 Employee stock options 548,926 1,055,882 700,710 1,143,855 Non-vested stock units 162,905 190,051 182,201 244,413 Weighted average common shares - diluted 101,635,521 101,270,163 101,669,998 101,240,471 Diluted earnings per share from net income $ 0.40 $ 0.41 $ 1.14 $ 1.09 Diluted earnings per share calculations for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended May 31, 2025, both excluded 0.7 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options that would have been anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share calculations for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended May 25, 2024, both excluded 0.8 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options that would have been anti-dilutive. Diluted earnings per share calculations for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended May 31, 2025, and May 25, 2024, both excluded an immaterial number of non-vested stock units that would have been anti-dilutive, respectively. 18 Table of Contents 13. Omnibus Incentive Plan Stock-based compensation includes stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock unit awards, and stock appreciation rights, which are awarded to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award based on their grant date fair value. Stock-based compensation expense is included within General and administrative expense, which is the same financial statement caption where recipient’s other compensation is reported. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $ 4.0 million and $ 4.5 million in the thirteen weeks ended May 31, 2025, and May 25, 2024, respectively, and $ 12.8 million and $ 13.2 million in the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025, and May 25, 2024, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units The following table summarizes restricted stock unit activity for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025: Units Weighted average grant-date fair value Non-vested as of August 31, 2024 546,271 $ 37.38 Granted 401,242 35.66 Vested ( 265,401 ) 37.53 Forfeited ( 20,365 ) 37.64 Non-vested as of May 31, 2025 661,747 $ 36.27 As of May 31, 2025, the Company had $ 16.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years. Performance Stock Units During the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025, the Board of Directors granted performance stock units under the Company’s 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The number of shares issuable as a result of grants of performance stock units is determined based on market-based criteria, performance-based criteria, or a combination of market-based criteria and performance-based criteria. The number of shares may be increased or decreased based on the results of these metrics in accordance with the terms established at the date of grant. For market-based criteria awards, the Company’s relative total shareholder return, or relative TSR, is measured for the Company and each company in the Russell 3000 Food & Beverage index using the immediately preceding 30-day average share price at the beginning and end of the applicable three -year performance period. The percentile rank of the Company’s TSR relative to that of the peer group determines the percent of the target award earned, ranging between 0 % and 200 %. The related compensation expense is recognized ratably over the term regardless of whether or not the market condition is satisfied, provided the requisite service is rendered. These units are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. 19 Table of Contents For Company financial performance-based criteria awards, we estimate the probability that the Company’s internally established performance criteria will be achieved at each reporting period and adjust compensation expense accordingly. The performance metrics achieved determines the percent of the target award earned, ranging between 0% and 200%. These units are valued using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. For market-based criteria and Company financial performance-based criteria awards, the Company’s TSR within the peer group and the performance metrics achieved determines the percent of the target award earned, ranging between 0% and 275%. We estimate the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved at each reporting period and adjust compensation expense accordingly. Should the performance-based criteria not be probable of being achieved, the compensation expense for the value of the award incorporating the market-based criteria is recognized ratably over the term, provided the requisite service is rendered. These units are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. The following table summarizes performance stock unit activity for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025: Units Weighted average grant-date fair value Non-vested as of August 31, 2024 179,791 $ 59.08 Granted 154,089 48.03 Vested ( 12,175 ) 63.42 Forfeited ( 42,373 ) 60.39 Non-vested as of May 31, 2025 279,332 $ 52.60 Performance stock units are generally granted to employees as a part of the annual grant in November of the associated fiscal year, although the Board of Directors reserves the right to administer mid-year grants from time to time as they see fit. The fair value of each performance stock unit grant with a market-based TSR component is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte-Carlo simulation based on the following assumptions presented below which are associated with each year’s annual grant: Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended May 31, 2025 May 25, 2024 Expected volatility 31.38 % 33.96 % Expected dividend yield — % — % Expected performance term 2.93 2.93 Risk-free rate of return 4.14 % 4.62 % Fair value $ 54.41 $ 57.43 As of May 31, 2025, the Company had $ 6.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to performance stock units that will be recognized over an expected weighted average period of 1.5 years. Stock Appreciation Rights Stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) permit the holder to participate in the appreciation of the Company’s common stock price and are awarded to non-employee consultants of the Company. The SARs settle in shares of its common stock once the applicable vesting criteria have been met. The SARs outstanding as of May 31, 2025, cliff vested two years from the date of grant and must be exercised within five years from the date of grant. 20 Table of Contents The following table summarizes SARs activity for the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025: Shares underlying SARs Weighted average exercise price Outstanding as of August 31, 2024 150,000 $ 37.67 Granted — — Exercised — — Forfeited — — Outstanding as of May 31, 2025 150,000 $ 37.67 Vested as of May 31, 2025 150,000 $ 37.67 Exercisable as of May 31, 2025 150,000 $ 37.67 The SARs outstanding as of the thirty-nine weeks ended May 31, 2025, are liability-classified; therefore, the related stock-based compensation expense is based on the vesting provisions and the fair value of the awards. 21 Table of Contents
