BIRKS GROUP REALIZED AN OVERALL INCREASE OF 3% IN COMPARABLE STORE SALES FOR ITS MID-YEAR FINANCIAL RESULTS WITH A STRONG 10% INCREASE IN CANADA

Montreal, Quebec. November 20, 2015- Birks Group Inc. (the “Company” or “Birks Group”) (NYSE MKT:BGI), which operates 48 luxury jewelry stores across Canada, Florida and Georgia, reported its financial results for the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2015.

Jean-Christophe Bédos, President and Chief Executive Officer of Birks Group, commented: “We are extremely pleased with our performance during the first half of the fiscal year. We believe our strategies which we began implementing during the prior fiscal year are delivering strong sales growth and are providing the Company with significant momentum as we head into the holiday period.”

For the 26 Weeks Ended September 26, 2015 compared to the 26 Weeks Ended September 27, 2014:

• Consolidated comparable store sales were up 3% overall as compared to the prior fiscal year;

• In local currency, Canada was up 10% for comparable store sales and the US was down 2% due to a strong US$ that impacted our tourist business, however the domestic business remains strong;

• Net sales were $4.5 million higher than the comparable period last year excluding the $10.2 million adjustment attributable to translating the Company’s Canadian sales into U.S. dollars. Net sales were $134.0 million, a decrease of $5.7 million from the twenty-six week period ended September 27, 2014, mainly due to unfavorable foreign exchange;

• Gross profit increased by $0.5 million compared to the comparable period last year excluding $4.3 million of lower gross profit resulting from the impact of translating the gross profit of the Canadian operations to U.S. dollars. Gross profit was $51.6 million, or 38.5% of net sales, during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2015 compared to $55.4 million, or 39.6% of net sales, during the comparable period last year. The 110 basis point gross margin rate decrease was primarily attributable to foreign exchange and product sales mix;

• Operating income for the period increased by $3.4 million to $6.1 million compared to $2.7 million in the prior fiscal year period due to the gain on sale of assets of the Company’s corporate sales division; and

• The net income for the 26 week period was $0.8 million, or $0.05 per share, compared to a net loss of $4.0 million, or $0.22 per share, in the prior fiscal year period.

Birks Group is a leading operator of luxury jewelry stores in Canada and in the United States. As of November 20, 2015, we operated 28 stores under the Birks brand in most major metropolitan markets of Canada, 17 stores in the Southeastern U.S. under the Mayors brand, one store under the Rolex brand name and two retail locations in Calgary and Vancouver under the Brinkhaus brand. Birks was founded in 1879 and developed over the years into Canada’s premier retailer, designer and manufacturer of fine jewelry, timepieces, sterling and plated silverware and gifts. Mayors was founded in 1910 and has maintained the intimacy of a family-owned boutique while becoming renowned for its fine jewelry, timepieces, giftware and service.
