Forward-looking Information

This presentation, including, in particular, under the headings entitled “Stable, long-term growth”, “Key drivers of SSS growth”, “Roadmap to growth – Increase accessories sales”, “Roadmap to growth – Add stores in existing, satellite and new markets”, “Attractive financial model results in strong cash flow conversion”, “National scale has economic benefits”, “Regional store density adds profitability and barrier to entry”, Select Financial Highlights and Growth Targets” and “Investment Highlights”, 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 reads as guarantees of future events, performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether, or the times at which, such events, performance or results will be achieved. All of the information in this presentation 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 in the Company’s 2015 annual information form (the “AIF”) filed on February 24, 2016. A copy of the AIF 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.

The Company cautions that the list of risk factors and uncertainties described in 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. The Company 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.

Non-IFRS Measures and Retail Industry Metrics

3

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("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 presentation certain non-IFRS measures, including "Same Store Sales Growth" or "SSSG", "EBITDA", "Operating EBITDA", "Operating EBITDA Margin" and "Conversion", each as defined under the heading entitled "Description of Non-IFRS Measures and Retail Industry Metrics" at the end of this presentation. 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 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. For further details concerning how the Company calculates these non-IFRS measures and for reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS measures, please see the Company's most recent management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Description of Non-IFRS Measures and Retail Industry Metrics

37

This presentation makes reference to certain non-IFRS measures including:

“AUSP” is defined as the average unit selling price of a mattress or foundation.

“EBITDA” is defined as net earnings (loss) from continuing operations before: (i) net interest expense and other financing charges; (ii) income taxes; (iii) depreciation of property, plant and equipment; and (iv) amortization of other assets.

“Conversion” is defined as the number of customers who entered a store and made a purchase divided by the total number of customers who entered the store (expressed as a percentage).

“Operating EBITDA” is defined as EBITDA adjusted for: (i) reduction in management bonuses; (ii) reduction in management compensation; (iii) certain non-recurring items (shareholder reorganization, professional fees and customer deposit breakages and other provision); and (iv) share based compensation.

“Same Store Sales Growth” or “SSSG” is a retail industry metric used to compare sales derived from the established stores of certain period over the same period in prior year. SSSG helps to explain what portion of sales growth can be attributed to growth in established stores and what portion can be attributed to the opening of the new stores. Sleep Country calculates SSSG 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.

These measures are not recognized measures 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. For further details concerning how the Company calculates these non-IFRS measures and for reconciliations to the most comparable IFRS measures, please see the Company's most recent management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities and available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
