MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is designed to provide the reader of the financial statements with a narrative on our results of operations, financial position and liquidity, risk management activities, significant accounting policies and critical estimates, and the future impact of accounting standards that have been issued, but are not yet effective. MD&A is presented in the following sections: Overview, Description of operation – continuing operations, Discontinued Operations, Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates, Results of Operations and Financial Condition. It is useful to read the MD&A in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto contained elsewhere in this document. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this MD&A to “the Company”, “Birks Group”, “Birks” “we”, “our”, “ours”, and “us” refer to Birks Group Inc., a Canadian corporation.

Annually, our fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of March. We refer to the prior fiscal year ended March 27, 2021 as fiscal 2021, and the current fiscal year ending March 26, 2022 as fiscal 2022. Fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 each consist of fifty-two week periods.

All figures presented in this MD&A are in $CAD unless otherwise specified.

Overview

Birks Group is a leading designer of fine jewelry, timepieces and gifts and operator of luxury jewelry and timepiece retail stores in Canada, with wholesale customers in North America and the U.K. As of the date of this MD&A, Birks Group operated 26 stores under the Maison Birks brand in most major metropolitan markets in Canada, one retail location in Calgary operated under the Brinkhaus brand, one retail location in Vancouver operated under the Graff brand and one retail location in Vancouver operated under the Patek Philippe brand. Bijoux Birks fine jewelry collections are also available through select SAKS Fifth Avenue stores in Canada and the U.S., select Mappin & Webb and Goldsmiths locations in the United Kingdom, in Mayors stores in the United States as well as at certain jewelry retailers across North America.

Current Developments

COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a pandemic and a global emergency. In response to this pandemic, globally, government authorities and public health officials have taken preventative and protective actions to contain the spread of the virus, including imposing restrictions on business operations and travel. As a result of the pandemic and the ensuing recommendations and restrictions imposed by government authorities, the Company’s operations and financial performance were significantly impacted over the past year.

Operational Impacts

Since March 2020, in accordance with guidelines of local government authorities and public health officials, the Company has experienced intermittent government mandated closures of its retail stores as well as capacity restrictions. Since the start of the pandemic, the Company has continued to operate its e-commerce business, along with its distribution center, with strict cleaning protocols and social distance measures in place, in accordance with local government guidelines. The Company also continued to operate its wholesale business and its head office functions primarily under a “work from home” model.

During the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, seven of the Company’s ten Ontario stores were temporarily closed for an 11-week period between April 17, 2021 and June 30, 2021. In addition, the Company’s Toronto Flagship store on Bloor street was temporarily closed for an eight-week period between April 17, 2021 and June 11, 2021 and the Company’s two Ottawa area stores were temporarily closed for a 13 week period between April 8, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Furthermore, one of our Quebec stores was also temporarily closed for a five week period from April 1, 2021 to May 10, 2021. During the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, all of the Company’s stores were closed during the first “wave” of lockdowns for the months of April 2020 and May 2020 and gradually re-opened during the months of June 2020 and July 2020. By the end of July 2020, the Company had re-opened all of its retail stores, albeit at reduced operating hours. Across the retail store network, approximatively 17% of shopping days were lost due to temporary store closures during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, as compared to approximately 46% during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. As of the date of this MD&A, all of the Company’s stores are open for in-person shopping. The Company will continue to adhere to all future guidelines provided by local government and health organizations.

Operational Response and Financial & Liquidity Impacts

As a result of these developments, since March 2020, the Company has taken many actions to substantially reduce its operating costs across all areas of the business and to actively manage liquidity in an effort to overcome the negative impacts of the pandemic. These actions included:

Acceptance of Compliance Plan by NYSE American

On August 13, 2020, the Company was notified by NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). That section applies if a listed company has stockholders’ equity of less than U.S. $4.0 million and has reported losses from operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. Furthermore, on December 9, 2020, the Company was notified by NYSE American that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide. That section applies if a listed company has stockholders’ equity of less than U.S. $2.0 million and has reported losses from operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years. Lastly, on June 25, 2021, the Company was notified by NYSE American that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standards as set forth in Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide which applies if a listed company has stockholders’ equity of less than U.S. $6.0 million and has reported losses from operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

In accordance with the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide, the Company submitted its plan of compliance on September 6, 2020 addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide. On October 22, 2020, NYSE American notified the Company that it accepted the compliance plan and granted the Company an extension for its continued listing until February 6, 2022 (the “Plan Period”). Birks Group can regain compliance under Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(1)(ii), and 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide under the compliance plan approved by NYSE American on October 22, 2020, which granted the Company an extension for its continued listing until February 6, 2022 (the “Compliance Plan”).

The Company is subject to periodic review by NYSE American during the Plan Period. If the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Plan Period, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the Plan Period, NYSE American may initiate delisting procedures as appropriate. While the Company intends to regain compliance under the Compliance Plan, there can be no assurances that it will successfully meet the requirements of such plan. Receipt of the non-compliance and acceptance notices does not affect the Company’s business, operations, financial or liquidity condition, or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. During this time, the Company’s Class A voting shares will continue to be listed and trade on the symbol “BGI”. If the NYSE American initiates delisting procedures, this may impact the trading market for our common stock and our ability to obtain future financing from public markets.

Description of Operations

Our net sales are comprised of revenues, net of discounts, in each case, excluding sales tax. Sales are recognized at the point of sale when merchandise is taken or shipped. Sales of consignment merchandise are recognized on a full retail basis at such time that the merchandise is sold. Revenues for gift certificates and store credits are recognized upon redemption. Customers use cash, debit cards, third-party credit cards, private label credit cards and proprietary credit cards to make purchases. The level of our sales is impacted by the number of sales transactions we generate and the size of our average sales transaction.

Our operating costs and expenses are primarily comprised of cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”). Cost of sales includes cost of merchandise, direct inbound freight and duties, direct labor related to repair services, the costs of our design and creative departments, inventory shrink, damage and obsolescence, jewelry, watch and giftware boxes, as well as product development costs. SG&A includes, among other things, all non-production payroll and benefits (including non-cash compensation expense), store and head office occupancy costs, overhead, credit card fees, information systems, professional services, consulting fees, repairs and maintenance, travel and entertainment, insurance, legal, human resource and training expenses. Occupancy, overhead and depreciation expenses are generally less variable relative to net sales than other components of SG&A such as credit card fees and certain

2

elements of payroll, such as commissions. Another significant item in SG&A is marketing expenses, which includes marketing, public relations and advertising costs (net of amounts received from vendors for cooperative advertising) incurred to increase customer awareness of both the Bijoux Birks product brand and our third party retail brands. Marketing has historically represented a significant portion of our SG&A. As a percentage of sales, marketing expense represented approximately 5.3% of sales during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 and approximately 4.0% of sales during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. Additionally, SG&A includes indirect costs such as freight, including inter-store transfers, receiving costs, distribution costs, and warehousing costs. Depreciation and amortization includes depreciation and amortization of our stores and head office, including leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures, computer hardware and software and amortization of intangibles.

As we navigate through the COVID-19 pandemic and its continuing and unprecedented challenges, our attention remains focused on the execution of our short-term and long-term strategic plans.

Over the short-term, we intend to focus our efforts on those strategies and key drivers of our performance that we believe are necessary in the current business climate, which include our ability to:

Over the long-term, we believe that the key drivers of our performance will be our ability to:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), but do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Preparation of these statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events and their impact on amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Some accounting estimates and policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in the financial statements. A summary of significant accounting estimates and policies and a description of accounting policies that are considered critical may be found in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2021 filed with the SEC on June 17, 2021, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section contained therein.

Operating results

Comparable Store Sales

We use comparable store sales as a key performance measure for our business. Comparable store sales include stores open in the same period in both the current and prior period. We include e-commerce sales in our comparable store sales calculations. Stores enter the comparable store calculation in their thirteenth full month of operation under our ownership. Stores that have been resized and stores that are relocated are evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if they are functionally the same store or a new store and then are included or excluded from comparable store sales accordingly. Comparable store sales measures the percentage change in net sales for comparable stores in a period compared to the corresponding period in the previous year. If a comparable store is not open for the entirety of both periods, comparable store sales measures the change in net sales for the portion of time that such store was open in both periods. We believe that this measure provides meaningful information on our performance and operating results. However, readers should know that this financial measure has no standardized meaning and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

The percentage increase (decrease) in comparable stores sales for the periods presented below is as follows:

Comparable store sales

The increase in comparable store sales of 59% during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 is primarily related to the reduced impact of COVID-19 (including government-mandated temporary store closures, traffic declines and capacity limitations) experienced by the Company during the period as compared to during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. Approximatively 17% of shopping days were lost due to temporary store closures during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, as compared to approximatively 46% during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. During the first quarter of the current fiscal year (during which 11 of the Company’s store were temporarily closed for a period ranging from 5 to 13 weeks) the Company experienced an increase in comparable store sales of 182% as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2021 (during which all 29 of the Company’s stores were closed during the months of April 2020 and May 2020, as well as for part of June 2020). During the second quarter of the current fiscal year, during which the Company’s stores were fully re-opened, the Company experienced an increase in comparable store sales of 12% as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 (during which all stores were opened). This increase was driven in part by the performance of third party branded watches as a result of the Company’s improved portfolio of third party watch brands, as well as by the performance of Bijoux Birks fine jewelry and bridal collections driven by the impact of pointed digital marketing campaigns and increased in-store foot traffic. Furthermore, e-commerce sales (included in comparable store sales) increased by 3% during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 as compared to the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020.

Twenty-Six Week Period Ended September 25, 2021 compared to the Twenty-Six Week Period Ended September 26, 2020

The following table sets forth, for the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 and for the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, the amounts in our consolidated statements of operations:

4

Total net sales for the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 were $84.6 million compared to $57.0 million in the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, which is an increase of $27.6 million, or 48.4%. Net retail sales were $26.0 million greater than the comparable prior year period, attributable primarily to the reduced impact of COVID-19 (including government-mandated temporary store closures, traffic declines and capacity limitations) experienced by the Company during the period as compared to during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. Approximatively 17% of shopping days were lost due to temporary store closures during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, as compared to approximatively 46% during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. The increase in Net Sales – Other of $1.6 million is primarily driven by an increase in wholesale activity as the Company’s retail partners are less impacted by government imposed lockdowns and restrictions in the current period as compared to the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, generating greater sales of $1.2 million. Furthermore, the increase in Net Sales – Other also includes an increase in our e-commerce sales of $0.1 million, or 2.8% and an increase in sales from our gold exchange business of $0.1 million, or 14.3%.

Total gross profit was $34.9 million, or 41.2% of net sales, for the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 compared to $22.8 million or 40.1% of net sales for the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. This increase is primarily driven by the increased sales volume experienced in the period driven by the reduced adverse effects of COVID-19 on the Company’s retail operations in the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 as compared to the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, as well as by an improvement in gross margin of 110 basis points. The increase of 110 basis points in gross margin percentage was mainly attributable to the Company’s adjusted pricing strategy on Bijoux Birks branded products, as well as its strategic focus to reduce sales promotions and discounting, partially offset by foreign currency losses experienced in the period. Gross Profit – Retail for the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 was $32.8 million, or 41.8% of net sales – Retail, compared to $20.5 million, or 39.1% of net sales – Retail for the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, which is an increase of $12.3 million driven by the increased sales volume caused by the lesser impacts of COVID-19 on the retail operations of the Company.

SG&A Expenses

SG&A expenses were $28.9 million or 34.1% of net sales, in the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, compared to $21.4 million, or 37.5% of net sales, in the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. SG&A expenses in the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 increased by $7.5 million as compared to SG&A expenses in the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. This increase is primarily related to the reduced impact of COVID-19 (including government-mandated temporary store closures, traffic declines and capacity limitations) experienced by the Company during the period as compared to during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, and therefore reduced cost containment initiatives undertaken by management in response to the pandemic. The drivers of the increase in the period include greater occupancy costs ($2.1 million) driven by the re-opening of stores and related non-recurring rent abatements recorded in the prior period, greater marketing costs ($2.2 million), greater compensation costs ($3.3 million) driven by the re-opening of the stores and related non-recurring temporary lay-offs and salary reductions in the prior period, as well as greater sales commissions due to increased sales volume, greater general operating costs and variable costs including credit cards fees ($0.5 million) driven by increased sales activity and lower wage and rent subsidies ($0.3 million), partially offset by lower stock based compensation ($0.9 million). As a percentage of sales, SG&A expenses in the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 have decreased by 340 basis points as compared to the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020.

5

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense for the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 was $3.3 million compared to $2.8 million for the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. This increase of $0.5 million was primarily driven by the accelerated depreciation of leasehold improvements due to modified terms of a vendor agreement, partially offset by lower depreciation due to the minimal increase in capital expenditures incurred by the Company over the last 12 months.

Interest and Other Financing Costs

Interest and other financing costs in the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 were $1.7 million compared to $1.4 million in the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, an increase of $0.3 million, driven primarily by foreign currency gains in the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020 of $0.8 million which did not re-occur, partially offset by a decrease of 80 basis points of the weighted average interest rate of the senior secured credit facility.

Income Tax Expense

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 25, 2021, the Company had no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions due to available tax loss carry forwards. The tax years 2015 through 2021 remain open to examination in the major tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company has continued to record a 100% valuation allowance on the full value of the deferred tax assets generated from our continuing operations during these periods as the criteria for recognition of these assets was not met at September 25, 2021.

NON-GAAP MEASURES

The Company reports financial information in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s performance is monitored and evaluated using various sales and earnings measures that are adjusted to include or exclude amounts from the most directly comparable GAAP measure (“non-GAAP measures”). The Company presents such non-GAAP measures in reporting its financial results to assist in business decision making and to provide key performance information to senior management. The Company believes that this additional information provided to investors and other external stakeholders will allow them to evaluate the Company’s operating results using the same financial measures and metrics used by the Company in evaluating performance. The Company does not, nor does it suggest that investors and other external stakeholders should, consider non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures including: “EBITDA”, “adjusted operating expenses”, “adjusted operating loss” and “adjusted EBITDA”.

EBITDA

“EBITDA” is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense and other financing costs, income taxes expense (recovery) and depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted operating expenses, adjusted operating loss & adjusted EBITDA

The Company evaluates its operating earnings performance using financial measures which exclude expenses associated with operational restructuring plans and impairment losses. The Company believes that such measures provide useful supplemental information with which to assess the Company’s results relative to the corresponding period in the prior year and can result in a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s performance between the periods presented. There were no expenses associated with operational restructuring plans and impairment losses during the twenty-six week periods ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively.

The table below provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures presented to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated with GAAP. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are the same.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s ability to fund its operations and meet its cash flow requirements is dependent upon its ability to maintain positive excess availability under the Company’s Credit Facility (defined below). As of September 25, 2021, bank indebtedness consisted solely of amounts owing under the Company’s Credit Facility, which had an outstanding balance of $49.5 million ($49.7 million net of $0.2 million of deferred financing costs,) on its maximum amount of $85.0 million credit facility, which is used to finance working capital and capital expenditures, provide liquidity to fund the Company’s day-to-day operations and for other general corporate purposes. The sole financial covenant which the Company is required to adhere to under both its Credit Facility and its Term Loan (defined below) is to maintain minimum excess availability of not less than $8.5 million at all times, except that the Company shall not be in breach of this covenant if excess availability falls below $8.5 million for not more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month. In the event that excess availability falls below the minimum requirement, this would be considered an event of default under the Credit Facility and under the Term Loan, that could result in the outstanding balances borrowed under the Company’s Credit Facility and the Term Loan becoming due immediately, which would also result in cross defaults on the Company’s other borrowings. Similarly, both the Company’s Credit Facility and the Term Loan are subject to cross default provisions with all other loans pursuant to which the Company is in default of any other loan, the Company will immediately be in default of both the Credit Facility and the Term Loan. The Company met its excess availability requirements as of and throughout the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 and as of the date these financial statements were authorized for issuance. In addition, the Company expects to have excess availability of at least $8.5 million for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

On October 23, 2017, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Canada Corporation for a maximum amount of $85.0 million (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility, which matures in October 2022, also provides the Company with an option to increase the total commitments thereunder by up to $13.0 million. The Company will only have the ability to exercise this accordion option if it has the required borrowing capacity at such time. The Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of CDOR plus a spread ranging from 1.5%—3.0% depending on the Company’s excess availability levels. Under the Credit Facility, the sole financial covenant which the Company is required to adhere to is to maintain minimum excess availability of not less than $8.5 million at all times, except that the Company shall not be in breach of this covenant if excess availability falls below $8.5 million for not more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month. The Company’s excess availability was above $8.5 million throughout the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021.

On June 29, 2018, the Company secured a $12.5 million senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”) with Crystal Financial LLC (“Crystal”), now known as SLR Credit Solutions. The Term Loan, which matures in October 2022, is subordinated in lien priority to the Company’s Credit Facility and bears interest at a rate of CDOR plus 8.25%. Under the Term Loan, the Company is required to adhere to the same financial covenant as under the Credit Facility (maintain minimum excess availability of not less than $8.5 million at all times, except that the Company shall not be in breach of this covenant if excess availability falls below $8.5 million for not more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month). In addition, the Term Loan includes seasonal availability blocks imposed from December 20th to January 20th of each year of $9.5 million and from January 21st to February 20th of each year of $4.5 million. The Term Loan is required to be repaid upon maturity.

7

The Company is currently in negotiations with its Credit Facility lender and its Term Loan lender to renew the Company’s Credit Facility and Term Loan, respectively, both of which mature in October 2022.

The Company’s borrowing capacity under both its Credit Facility and its Term Loan is based upon the value of the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable, which is periodically assessed by its lenders and based upon these reviews the Company’s borrowing capacity could be significantly increased or decreased.

Both the Company’s Credit Facility and its Term Loan are subject to cross default provisions with all other loans pursuant to which if the Company is in default of any other loan, the Company will immediately be in default of both its Credit Facility and its Term Loan. In the event that excess availability falls below $8.5 million for more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month, this would be considered an event of default under the Company’s Credit Facility and its Term Loan, that provides the lenders the right to require the outstanding balances borrowed under the Company’s Credit Facility and its Term Loan to become due immediately, which would result in cross defaults on the Company’s other borrowings. The Company expects to have excess availability of at least $8.5 million for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

The Company’s Credit Facility and its Term Loan also contain limitations on the Company’s ability to pay dividends, more specifically, among other limitations; the Company can pay dividends only at certain excess borrowing capacity thresholds. The Company is required to either (i) maintain excess availability of at least 40% of the borrowing base in the month preceding payment or (ii) maintain excess availably of at least 25% of the line cap and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00. Other than these financial covenants related to paying dividends, the terms of the Company’s Credit Facility and its Term Loan provide that no financial covenants are required to be met other than already described.

The Company’s lenders under its Credit Facility and its Term Loan may impose, at any time, discretionary reserves, which would lower the level of borrowing availability under our credit facilities (customary for asset-based loans), at their reasonable discretion, to: (i) ensure that the Company maintains adequate liquidity for the operation of its business, (ii) cover any deterioration in the value of the collateral, and (iii) reflect impediments to the lenders to realize upon the collateral. There is no limit to the amount of discretionary reserves that the Company’s senior secured lenders may impose at their reasonable discretion. No discretionary reserves were imposed during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 by the Company’s senior secured lenders.

Borrowings under our Credit Facility for the periods indicated in the table below were as follows:

Investissement Québec

On July 8, 2020, the Company secured a new six-year term loan with Investissement Québec in the amount of $10.0 million, as amended. The secured term loan was used to fund the working capital needs of the Company. The loan bears interest at a rate of 3.14% per annum and is repayable in 60 equal payments beginning in July 2021. The term loan with Investissement Québec requires the Company on an annual basis to have a working capital ratio (defined as current assets divided by current liabilities excluding the current portion of operating lease liabilities) of at least 1.01. On June 2, 2021, the Company obtained a waiver from Investissement Québec with respect to the requirement to meet the working capital ratio at March 26, 2022.

On July 20, 2021, the Company entered into a new 10 year loan agreement with Investissement Québec for an amount of up to $4.3 million to be used specifically to finance the digital transformation of the Company through the implementation of an omni-channel e-commerce platform and enterprise resource planning system. As of September 25, 2021, the Company has nil outstanding on the loan. The loan bears interest at a rate of 1.41% per annum and is repayable in 60 equal payments beginning 60 months after the date of the first draw. The term loan with Investissement Québec requires the Company on an annual basis to have a working capital ratio (defined as current assets divided by current liabilities excluding the current portion of operating lease liabilities) of at least 1.01.

8

Other Financing

As of September 25, 2021, the Company had a balance of $1.9 million (U.S. $1.5 million) outstanding from an original $6.7 million (U.S. $5.0 million) cash advance from one of its controlling shareholders, Montel S.à.r.l. (“Montel”, previously known as Montrovest B.V.). This advance is payable upon demand by Montel once conditions stipulated in our Credit Facility permit such payment. The conditions that are required to be met are the same as those that are required to be met for the Company to pay dividends which is described above. This advance bears an annual interest rate of 11%, net of any withholding taxes, representing an effective interest rate of approximately 12.2%.

Cash flow—from operations

The following table summarizes cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities from operations was $9.4 million during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 as compared to $8.9 million net cash used during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. The $18.3 million increase in cash flows provided by operating activities from operations was the result of (i) a $3.8 million increase in net income during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year, (ii) $13.0 million of cash provided by changes in working capital, of which period over period changes included inventory decrease of $7.7 million, driven by higher turnover and lower purchases of inventory when compared to prior period, an accounts payable and accrued liabilities decrease of $5.9 million primarily driven by a significant reduction of accounts payable due to cost saving initiatives and the utilization of the Investissement Quebec loan received in July 2020 that occurred in the previous year, and an accounts receivable increase of $0.7 million, driven primarily by higher sales during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 compared to the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, and (iii) a $1.5 million increase in cash flows provided by operating activities related to non-cash adjustments such as amortization of capital assets and depreciation of operating lease right-of-use assets.

During the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, net cash used in investing activities from operations was $2.9 million as compared to $1.0 million during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. The $1.9 million increase in net cash used in investing activities from operations was primarily attributable to management’s decision to re-start capital expenditures in the current period compared to the decision to delay certain capital expenditures projects in the same period in the prior fiscal year as a result of its liquidity initiatives to respond to COVID-19 impacts.    

Net cash used in financing activities from operations was $5.6 million in the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 as compared to $11.8 million provided by financing activities in the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. The $17.4 million decrease in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to a decrease in cash inflows from long-term debt of $9.8 million relating to the Investissement Quebec loan received in July 2020, the increase in payments of long-term debt of $1.8 million, and an increase in period over period changes to bank indebtedness of $5.8 million during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 as compared to the comparable prior year period.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates. We have not entered into derivative or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates. Borrowing under our Credit Facility and Term Loan each bear interest at floating rates which are based on CDOR plus a fixed interest rate. As of September 25, 2021, we have not hedged these interest rate risks. As of September 25, 2021, we had $62.1 million of floating-rate debt. Accordingly, our net income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the interest rate under our floating rate debt, our interest expense on an annualized basis would have increased or decreased, respectively, by approximately $0.6 million.

9

Currency Risk

As of September 25, 2021, we had $18.1 million of net liabilities subject to foreign exchange rate risk related to changes in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar, the euro, the Swiss Franc and the Canadian dollar, which would impact the level of our earnings if there were fluctuations in U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rate. Assuming a 100 basis point strengthening or weakening of the Canadian dollar in relationship to the U.S. dollar, as of September 25, 2021, our earnings would have increased or decreased, respectively, by approximately $0.2 million. This analysis does not consider the impact of fluctuations in U.S. and Canadian dollar exchange rates on the translation of Canadian dollar results into U.S. dollars. Changes in the exchange rates of Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars could also impact our Canadian sales and gross margin if the Canadian dollar strengthens significantly and impacts our Canadian consumers’ behavior.

Commodity Risk

The nature of our operations results in exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices, specifically diamonds, platinum, gold and silver. We do not currently use derivatives to hedge these risks. Our retail sales and gross margin could be materially impacted if prices of diamonds, platinum, gold or silver rise so significantly that our consumers’ behavior changes or if prices increases cannot be passed onto our customers.

EXHIBIT 99.7

BIRKS GROUP INC.

two Ottawa area stores were temporarily closed for a 13 week period between April 8, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Furthermore, one of our Quebec stores was also temporarily closed for a five week period from April 1, 2021 to May 10, 2021. During the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, all of the Company’s stores were closed during the first “wave” of lockdowns for the months of April 2020 and May 2020 and gradually re-opened during the months of June 2020 and July 2020. By the end of July 2020, the Company had re-opened all of its retail stores, albeit at reduced operating hours. Across our retail store network, approximatively 17% of shopping days were lost due to temporary store closures during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, as compared to approximatively 46% during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020.

As a result of these developments, since March 2020, the Company has taken many actions to substantially reduce its operating costs across all areas of the business and to actively manage liquidity in order to overcome the negative impacts of the pandemic. These actions included:

The current economic, business and retail climates have significantly changed since March 2020 and as such, the Company cannot predict the degree to, or the time period over which its sales and operations will continue to be affected by the pandemic, changes to consumer behavior and spending as a result of the pandemic, or the materiality of the effects of the pandemic, or the restrictions and impact resulting from the pandemic, on the Company. The Company continues to and expects to continue to operate through its Credit Facility. The Company is considering pursuing other actions to enhance its liquidity position.

The Company recorded a net income of $1.0 million for the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 and a net loss of $2.8 million for the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020. The Company generated net cash from operations of $9.4 million in the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 and used net cash from operations of $8.9 million in the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020.The Company also had a negative working capital as at September 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021.

The Company’s Credit Facility and Term Loan mature and require repayment of the respective outstanding balances in October 2022. The Company is currently in negotiations with its Credit Facility lender and its Term Loan lender to renew the Company’s Credit Facility and Term Loan, respectively, prior to the maturity dates.

On July 8, 2020, the Company secured a new six-year term loan with Investissement Québec in the amount of $10.0 million, as amended. The secured term loan was used to fund the working capital needs of the Company. The loan bears interest at a rate of 3.14% per annum and is repayable in 60 equal payments beginning in July 2021. The term loan with Investissement Québec requires the Company on an annual basis to have a working capital ratio (defined as current assets divided by current liabilities excluding the current portion of operating lease liabilities) of at least 1.01. On June 2, 2021, the Company obtained a waiver from Investissement Québec with respect to the requirement to meet the working capital ratio at March 26, 2022.

On July 20, 2021, the Company entered into a new 10 year loan agreement with Investissement Québec for an amount of up to $4.3 million to be used specifically to finance the digital transformation of the Company through the implementation of an omni-channel e-commerce platform and enterprise resource planning system. As of September 25, 2021, the Company has nil outstanding on the loan. The loan bears interest at a rate of 1.41% per annum and is repayable in 60 equal payments beginning 60 months after the date of the first draw. The term loan with Investissement Québec requires the Company on an annual basis to have a working capital ratio (defined as current assets divided by current liabilities excluding the current portion of operating lease liabilities) of at least 1.01.

The Company’s ability to meet its cash flow requirements in order to fund its operations is dependent upon its ability to attain profitable operations and/or continued adherence to the terms of its committed financings and maintenance of sufficient availability of funding under its Credit Facility and its Term Loan. The sole financial covenant which the Company is required to adhere to under both its Credit Facility and its Term Loan is to maintain minimum excess availability of not less than $8.5 million at all times, except that the Company shall not be in breach of this covenant if excess availability falls below $8.5 million for not more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month. In the event that excess availability falls below the minimum requirement, this would be considered an event of default under the Credit Facility and under the Term Loan, that would result in the

18

outstanding balances borrowed under the Company’s Credit facility and the Term Loan becoming due immediately, which would also result in cross defaults on the Company’s other borrowings. Similarly, both the Company’s Credit Facility and the Term Loan are subject to cross default provisions with all other loans pursuant to which the Company is in default of any other loan, the Company will immediately be in default of both the Credit Facility and the Term Loan. The Company met its excess availability requirements as of and throughout the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 and as of the date these financial statements were authorized for issuance. In addition, the Company expects to have excess availability of at least $8.5 million for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

The Company’s ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the interest, or to fund planned capital expenditures and store operations will also depend on its ability to maintain adequate levels of available borrowing, obtain favorable payment terms from suppliers and its future performance, which to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors, as well as other events that are beyond the Company’s control.

The Company continues to be actively engaged in identifying alternative sources of financing that include raising additional funds through public or private equity, the disposal of assets, and debt financing, including funding from government sources. The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that could restrict the Company’s operations. Financing, including the renewal of the Company’s Credit Facility and Term Loan may be unavailable, in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all, which may have a material adverse impact on its business, including its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company’s lenders under its Credit Facility and its Term Loan may impose, at any time, discretionary reserves, which would lower the level of borrowing availability under the Company’s credit facilities (customary for asset-based loans), at their reasonable discretion, to: (i) ensure that the Company maintains adequate liquidity for the operation of its business, (ii) cover any deterioration in the amount of value of the collateral, and (iii) reflect impediments to the lenders to realize upon the collateral. There is no limit to the amount of discretionary reserves that the Company’s lenders may impose at their reasonable discretion. No discretionary reserves were imposed during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 by the Company’s senior secured lenders.

Certain adverse conditions and events outlined above require consideration of management’s plans, which management believes mitigate the effect of such conditions and events. Management’s plans include negotiations of renewals with its senior secured lender and its term loan lender, continuing to manage liquidity actively which allows for adherence to excess availability requirements, and where necessary, implement cost reductions, which include reducing future purchases, maintaining reduced marketing and general operating expenses, the continued postponement of certain capital expenditures and obtaining favorable payment terms from suppliers. Notwithstanding, the Company believes that it will be able to adequately fund its operations and meet its cash flow requirements for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 - Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU is intended to reduce complexity in the accounting for income taxes while maintaining or improving the usefulness of information provided to financial statement users. The guidance amends certain existing provisions under ASC 740 to address a number of distinct items. This standard is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company elected to adopt this guidance on a prospective basis. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 25, 2021, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions due to available tax loss carry forwards. The tax years 2015 through 2021 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

The Company recorded no income tax expense for the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 and for the comparable period ended September 26, 2020. This is due to the Company recording a 100% valuation allowance against the value of its net deferred tax assets, as a result of the Company’s inability to reach the required conclusion that it would be able to more likely than not realize the value of net deferred tax assets in the future. As of September 25, 2021, the Company had recorded a valuation allowance of $24.2 million ($24.5 million as of March 27, 2021) against the full value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets.

19

For the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, the Company’s net income per common share on a basic and diluted basis was $0.05. Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share were 251,484 shares underlying stock options and 382,693 shares underlying outstanding warrants due to their antidilutive effect.

For the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020, the Company’s net loss per common share on a basic and diluted basis was ($0.16). Excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share were 652,000 shares underlying stock options and 382,693 shares underlying outstanding warrants due to their antidilutive effect.

Inventories are summarized as follows:

As of September 25, 2021 and March 27, 2021, bank indebtedness consisted solely of amounts owing under the Company’s senior secured credit facility, which had an outstanding balance of $49.5 million ($49.7 million net of $0.2 million of deferred financing costs) and $53.4 million ($53.7 million net of $0.3 million of deferred financing costs), respectively. The Company’s Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company’s excess borrowing capacity was $18.6 million as of September 25, 2021 and $18.8 million as of March 27, 2021. The Company met its excess availability requirements throughout the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, and as of the date of these financial statements.

The Company’s ability to fund its operations and meet its cash flow requirements is dependent upon its ability to maintain positive excess availability under its $85.0 million senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Canada Corporation (“Credit Facility”. The Credit Facility, which matures in October 2022, also provides the Company with an accordion option to increase the total commitments thereunder by up to $13.0 million. The Company will only have the ability to exercise this accordion option if it has the required borrowing capacity at such time. The Credit Facility bears interest at a rate of CDOR plus a spread ranging from 1.5%—3.0% depending on the Company’s excess availability levels. Under the Credit Facility, the sole financial covenant which the Company is required to adhere to is to maintain minimum excess availability of not less than $8.5 million at all times, except that the Company shall not be in breach of this covenant if excess availability falls below $8.5 million for not more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month. The Company’s excess availability was above $8.5 million throughout the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021.

On June 29, 2018, the Company secured a $12.5 million senior secured term loan with Crystal Financial LLC, now known as SLR Credit Solutions (“Term Loan”). The Term Loan, which matures in October 2022, is subordinated in lien priority to the Company’s Credit Facility and bears interest at a rate of CDOR plus 8.25%. Under the Term Loan, the Company is required to adhere to the same financial covenant as under the Credit Facility (maintain minimum excess availability of not less than $8.5 million at all times, except that the Company shall not be in breach of this covenant if excess availability falls below $8.5 million for not more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month). In addition, the Term Loan includes seasonal availability blocks imposed from December 20th to January 20th of each year of $9.5 million and from January 21st to February 20th of each year of $4.5 million. The Term Loan is required to be repaid upon maturity.

The Company is currently in negotiations with its Credit Facility lender and its Term Loan lender to renew the Company’s Credit Facility and Term Loan, respectively, both of which mature in October 2022.

The Company’s borrowing capacity under both its Credit Facility and its Term Loan is based upon the value of the Company’s inventory and accounts receivable, which is periodically assessed by its lenders and based upon these reviews the Company’s borrowing capacity could be significantly increased or decreased.

Both the Company’s Credit Facility and its Term Loan are subject to cross default provisions with all other loans pursuant to which if the Company is in default of any other loan, the Company will immediately be in default of both its Credit Facility and its Term Loan. In the event that excess availability falls below $8.5 million for more than two consecutive business days once during any fiscal month, this would be considered an event of default under the Company’s Credit Facility and its Term Loan, that provides the lenders the right to require the outstanding balances borrowed under the Company’s Credit Facility and its Term Loan to become due immediately, which would result in cross defaults on the Company’s other borrowings. The Company expects to have excess availability of at least $8.5 million for at least the next twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

The Company’s Credit Facility and its Term Loan also contain limitations on the Company’s ability to pay dividends, more specifically, among other limitations; the Company can pay dividends only at certain excess borrowing capacity thresholds. The Company is required to either (i) maintain excess availability of at least 40% of the borrowing base in the month preceding payment or (ii) maintain excess availably of at least 25% of the line cap and maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00. Other than these financial covenants related to paying dividends, the terms of the Company’s Credit Facility and its Term Loan provide that no financial covenants are required to be met other than already described.

20

The Company’s lenders under its Credit Facility and its Term Loan may impose, at any time, discretionary reserves, which would lower the level of borrowing availability under our credit facilities (customary for asset-based loans), at their reasonable discretion, to: (i) ensure that the Company maintains adequate liquidity for the operation of its business, (ii) cover any deterioration in the value of the collateral, and (iii) reflect impediments to the lenders to realize upon the collateral. There is no limit to the amount of discretionary reserves that the Company’s senior secured lenders may impose at their reasonable discretion. No discretionary reserves were imposed during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 by the Company’s senior secured lenders.

On July 8, 2020, the Company secured a new six-year term loan with Investissement Québec in the amount of $10.0 million, as amended. The secured term loan was used to fund the working capital needs of the Company. The loan bears interest at a rate of 3.14% per annum and is repayable in 60 equal payments beginning in July 2021. The term loan with Investissement Québec requires the Company on an annual basis to have a working capital ratio (defined as current assets divided by current liabilities excluding the current portion of operating lease liabilities) of at least 1.01. On June 2, 2021, the Company obtained a waiver from Investissement Québec with respect to the requirement to meet the working capital ratio at March 26, 2022.

On July 20, 2021, the Company entered into a new 10 year loan agreement with Investissement Québec for an amount of up to $4.3 million to be used specifically to finance the digital transformation of the Company through the implementation of an omni-channel e-commerce platform and enterprise resource planning system. As of September 25, 2021, the Company has nil outstanding on the loan. The loan bears interest at a rate of 1.41% per annum and is repayable in 60 equal payments beginning 60 months after the date of the first draw. The term loan with Investissement Québec requires the Company on an annual basis to have a working capital ratio (defined as current assets divided by current liabilities excluding the current portion of operating lease liabilities) of at least 1.01.

ASU 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), requires entities to disclose their revenues disaggregated by classes of similar products and by channel. The Company has two reportable segments, Retail and Other. As of September 25, 2021, Retail operated 26 stores across Canada under the Maison Birks brand, 1 retail location in Calgary under the Brinkhaus brand and 2 retail locations in Vancouver under the Graff and Patek Philippe brands. Other consists primarily of our e-commerce, wholesale businesses and a gold exchange program. The following table disaggregates the Company’s net sales by classes of similar products and by channel:

The two reportable, “Retail” and “Other”, segments are managed and evaluated separately based on unadjusted gross profit. The accounting policies used for each of the segments are the same as those used for the consolidated financial statements. Inter-segment sales are made at amounts of consideration agreed upon between the two segments and intercompany profit is eliminated if not yet earned on a consolidated basis. The Company does not evaluate the performance of the Company’s assets on a segment basis for internal management reporting and, therefore, such information is not presented.

21

Certain information relating to the Company’s segments for the twenty-six week periods ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020 is set forth below:

The following table sets forth reconciliations of the segments’ gross profits and certain unallocated costs to the Company’s consolidated gross profits for the twenty-six week periods ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020:

Amounts recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings were as follows:

Variable operating lease expense includes percentage rent, taxes, mall advertising, common area maintenance charges, as well as government rent subsidies. The weighted average remaining operating lease term was five years and the weighted average discount rate was 10.0% for all of the Company’s operating leases as of September 25, 2021.

22

The following table provides supplemental cash flow information related to the Company’s operating leases:

The following table reconciles the undiscounted cash flows expected to be paid in each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter to the operating lease liability recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for operating leases existing as of September 25, 2021.

23

On July 28, 2017, the Company received approximately a $3.2 million (U.S. $2.5 million) loan from one of its controlling shareholders, Montel S.à.r.l. (previously known as Montrovest B.V.), to finance its working capital needs. This loan bore interest at an annual rate of 11%, net of withholding taxes, representing an effective interest rate of approximately 12.2%, and was originally due and payable in two equal payments of approximately $1.75 million (U.S. $1.25 million) in each of July 2018 and July 2019. During fiscal year 2019, approximately $1.75 million (U.S. $1.25 million) was repaid. In December 2019, the Company obtained a new one-year moratorium on principal payments and as such the loan was scheduled to be fully repaid in December 2020. On June 30, 2020, the Company obtained a new moratorium on the principal repayment, and as such the loan became due on the earlier of August 31, 2021 or 10 days following a liquidity event, subject to the approval by its senior secured lenders and the Company’s Board of Directors. During the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, the remaining principal balance on the loan of approximately $1.6 million (U.S. $1.25 million) was repaid.

The Company also has a cash advance owing to Montel with an outstanding balance as of September 25, 2021 of approximately $1.9 million (U.S. $1.5 million).

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, various government programs have been announced to provide financial relief for affected businesses.

The Government of Canada announced the CEWS program in April 2020. CEWS provides a wage subsidy on eligible paid compensation, subject to limits per employee, to eligible employers based on certain criteria, including demonstration of certain revenue declines as a result of COVID-19. The Company has determined that it had qualified for this subsidy for certain intermittent periods during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021 and during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020 and has, accordingly, applied for the CEWS for said periods. During the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, the Company has recognized $0.6 million of CEWS ($1.2 million during the twenty-six week period ended September 26, 2020) which has been recorded as a reduction to the eligible employee compensation expense incurred by the Company during this period (within selling, general, and administrative expenses). As at September 25, 2021, $0.4 million of CEWS claimed during the period has been collected and $0.2 million is included within Account Receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Government of Canada announced the CERS program in October 2020. CERS provides a rent subsidy for eligible property expenses, such as occupancy costs, based on certain criteria and is proportional to revenue declines as a result of COVID-19.

The Company has determined that it had qualified for this subsidy for certain intermittent periods during the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021. For the twenty-six week period ended September 25, 2021, the Company has recognized $0.4 million of CERS and has recorded it as a reduction to the eligible occupancy expense incurred by the Company during this period (within selling, general and administrative expenses). As at September 25, 2021, $0.4 million is included within Account Receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

LOAN AGREEMENT

On July 20, 2021, Birks Group Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new 10 year loan agreement with Investissement Québec for an amount of up to $4.3 million to be used specifically to finance the digital transformation of the Company through the implementation of an omni-channel e-commerce platform and enterprise resource planning system (the “Loan Agreement”).
