Business-activity disclosure
Sprouts operates natural and organic grocery stores. Grocery retail is generally permissible, while alcohol, non-halal products, sourcing, labor and supply-chain practices require qualitative review.
Limitation: The filing does not quantify a scholar-specific prohibited-revenue numerator; the disclosed interest-income figure is a screen input, not a complete purification prescription.
Purification
Sprouts discloses $0.129 million of net interest income but does not prescribe a scholar-approved purification percentage; no fixed amount is estimated.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- Amounts are USD thousands converted to millions from Sprouts' March 29, 2026 Form 10-Q.
- Debt includes $2.549 million current finance obligations and $97.044 million long-term debt and finance obligations; operating leases are excluded.
- Cash is $252.161 million and no separately identified unrestricted interest-bearing securities are added.
- Net accounts receivable are $63.313 million; quarterly net sales are $2,329.179 million and interest income, net, is $0.129 million.
- The filing does not allocate grocery, prepared-food, alcohol or other revenue into a universal prohibited-activity numerator.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
