Ingles Markets, Incorporated Reports Update
on the Impact of Hurricane Helene
ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Ingles Markets, Incorporated (NASDAQ: IMKTA) today announced that Hurricane Helene has impacted both stores and distribution center operations. Our hearts are heavy for those in our communities who lost lives, loved ones, homes and access to basic necessities. Hurricane Helene brought with it unprecedented flooding and property damage, together with continuing power and water outages, which have impacted our footprint of operations.
Currently, of our 198 stores, 186 stores are open for business, but a lack of internet access and other connectivity has limited transactions in many locations. Of the locations that remain closed, we expect all will reopen upon restoration of power to their respective areas, but we do not have a timeline for power restoration.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may address, among other things, our expected financial and operational results and the related assumptions underlying our expected results. These forward-looking statements are distinguished by use of words such as “anticipate,” “aim,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and the negative of these terms, and similar references to future periods. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these expectations due to, among other things: business and economic conditions generally in the Company’s operating area, including inflation or deflation; shortages of labor, distribution capacity, and some product shortages; inflation in food, labor and gasoline prices; the impact of weather-related events and natural disasters; the Company’s ability to successfully implement our expansion and operating strategies; pricing pressures and other competitive factors, including online-based procurement of products the Company sells; sudden or significant changes in the availability of gasoline and retail gasoline prices; the maturation of new and expanded stores; general concerns about food safety; the Company’s ability to manage technology and data security; the availability and terms of financing; and increases in costs, including food, utilities, labor and other goods and services significant to the Company’s operations. Detailed information about these factors and additional important factors can be found in the documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, such as Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements were made. The Company does not undertake an obligation to update forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable law.
