      ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--December 7, 2012--Ingles Markets,
      Incorporated (NASDAQ:&#160;IMKTA) today reported record fiscal 2012 sales of
      $3.71 billion, its 48<sup>th</sup> consecutive year of sales growth.
      Fourth quarter sales rose 9.5% to $991.8 million and net income
      increased 21.1% to $13.3 million compared with the fourth quarter of
      fiscal 2011. Net income for fiscal year ended September&#160;29,&#160;2012,
      increased 11.2% to $43.4 million compared with $39.1 million in fiscal
      2011 totals.
    </p>
    <p>
      The full year and fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 contained 53 weeks and
      14 weeks, respectively, compared with 52 weeks and 13 weeks for the full
      year and fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Grocery segment comparable store sales (excluding gasoline) increased
      2.0% for the fourth quarter and 1.9% for the full 2012 fiscal year,
      respectively, over the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and for the full
      2011 fiscal year amounts. These increases compare the 14 and 53 weeks of
      fourth quarter and full year 2012 with the corresponding 14 and 53
      calendar weeks of the previous year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Commenting on the results, Robert P. Ingle II, Chief Executive Officer,
      said, &#8220;We are pleased that our sales have grown every year since our
      company started almost 50 years ago. We look forward to the next 50
      years of growth and profitability for our customers and shareholders.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company will accelerate the payment of its January quarterly
      dividend of $0.165 per share on its publicly traded Class A common stock
      and $0.15 per share on its Class B common stock. The Company&#8217;s Board of
      Directors also declared a special dividend of $0.66 per share on its
      publicly traded Class A common stock and $0.60 per share on its Class B
      common stock. Both dividends will be paid on December 31, 2012, to
      shareholders of record on December 21, 2012.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Fourth Quarter Results</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Net sales rose 9.5% to $991.8 million for the quarter ended September
      29, 2012, compared with $905.8&#160;million for the comparable quarter in
      fiscal 2011. Total sales comparisons are affected by the difference in
      the number of weeks in the comparative quarters. Comparing the 14 weeks
      of the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012 with the corresponding 14 calendar
      weeks of the previous year quarter, grocery segment comparable store
      sales increased 2.0%. The growth in grocery segment sales benefited from
      increases in average weekly customer visits and in the average purchase
      amount compared with the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Adjusting for
      the difference in weeks, gallons of gasoline sold increased while the
      average price per gallon dropped slightly.

      Gross profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 rose to $220.0
      million, an increase of $17.6&#160;million, compared with the fourth quarter
      of fiscal 2011. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 22.2% for the
      fourth quarter of fiscal 2012 compared with 22.4% for the fourth quarter
      of fiscal 2011. Grocery segment gross margins, excluding gasoline, were
      26.1% for both the current-year quarter and for the fourth quarter of
      fiscal 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Operating and administrative expenses for the September 2012 quarter
      totaled $185.2 million. Operating and administrative expenses as a
      percentage of sales were 18.7% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012,
      compared with 19.0% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The largest
      line item increase was personnel costs related to the opening of the new
      839,000 square foot distribution center in June 2012. Ingles operated
      203 stores and 11.0 million square feet of store space at the end of
      fiscal&#160;2012 and at the end of fiscal 2011. The Company&#8217;s store
      improvement capital projects this year did not result in increased
      square footage, but improved merchandising, convenience and the range of
      products offered to our customers.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net rental income, other income and losses on asset disposals declined
      to $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, compared with $1.4
      million for the 2011 fourth fiscal quarter, primarily due to lower net
      rental income and sales of waste plastic and packaging compared with the
      prior year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Interest expense totaled $15.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal
      2012, compared with $15.1&#160;million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
      Total debt was $835.2 million at the end of fiscal 2012 compared with
      $855.1 million at the end of fiscal 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s effective tax rate was 35.5% for the fourth quarter of
      fiscal 2012, compared with 33.5% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
      The rate increase is primarily due to a decrease in tax credits in
      fiscal 2012 compared with the prior fiscal year.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net income for the September 2012 quarter rose to $13.3 million,
      compared with net income of $11.0&#160;million for the September 2011
      quarter. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the Company&#8217;s publicly
      traded Class A common stock increased to $0.58 and $0.55 per share,
      respectively, for the September 2012 quarter, compared with $0.47 and
      $0.45 per share, respectively, for the September 2011 quarter.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u><b>Annual Results</b></u>
    </p>
    <p>
      Net sales totaled a record $3.71 billion for the fiscal year ended
      September 2012, an increase of $149.5 million, or 4.2%, from $3.56
      billion for the fiscal year ended September 2011. Fiscal year 2012 was
      Ingles&#8217; 48<sup>th</sup> consecutive year of record sales.
      Comparing the 53 weeks of fiscal 2012 with the corresponding 53 calendar
      weeks of the previous year, grocery segment comparable store sales
      increased 1.9%, excluding gasoline sales where the retail per gallon
      price was approximately 5% higher. The number of customer transactions
      increased 1.5% and the average transaction size increased by $0.07,
      excluding gasoline sales.
    </p>
    <p>
      Gross profit for the fiscal year ended September 29, 2012, increased
      $28.3 million, or 3.6%, to $820.1 million, or 22.1% of sales, compared
      with $791.9 million, or 22.2% of sales, for the fiscal year ended
      September 24, 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      The increase in grocery segment gross profit dollars was primarily due
      to the higher sales volume. Grocery segment gross profit as a percentage
      of total sales (excluding gasoline) was 25.9% and 25.8% for fiscal 2012
      and 2011, respectively. The beneficial impact of a favorable change in
      sales mix and modest inflation was generally offset by competitive
      effects. The Company has responded to the current competitive
      environment by keeping prices as low as possible in order to grow sales
      and market share.

      Operating expenses increased $20.5 million in fiscal 2012, compared with
      fiscal 2011, and were 18.8% of sales for fiscal 2012, compared with
      19.0% of sales for fiscal 2011. Excluding gasoline sales and associated
      gasoline operating expenses (primarily payroll), operating expenses were
      21.9% of sales for fiscal 2012, compared with 22.1% for fiscal 2011. As
      noted in the fourth quarter comments, payroll represented the largest
      cost increase, accounting for $15.2 million of the $20.5&#160;million
      increase.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net rental income, gains/losses on asset disposals and other income
      totaled $5.6 million for fiscal 2012, compared with $8.7 million for
      fiscal 2011. The decrease is attributable to a $2.8 million gain on
      property sold in an eminent domain proceeding during fiscal 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Interest expense totaled $60.0 million for the year ended September 29,
      2012, compared with $62.0&#160;million for the year ended September 24, 2011.
      Interest expense decreased due to the net reduction of total debt and
      the refinancing of existing debt at lower rates. Interest on the
      $99.7&#160;million of bonds issued in December 2010 was capitalized as part
      of the construction cost of the Company&#8217;s new distribution and warehouse
      facility, until the facility opened during the third quarter of fiscal
      2012.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company&#8217;s effective tax rate decreased to 35.5% for fiscal 2012,
      compared with 35.7% for fiscal 2011 due to additional federal tax
      credits available in the first part of fiscal 2012.
    </p>
    <p>
      Net income for fiscal 2012 rose 11.2% to $43.4 million, compared with
      net income of $39.1&#160;million for fiscal 2011. Basic and diluted earnings
      per share for the Company&#8217;s publicly traded Class A common stock
      increased to $1.87 and $1.79 per share, respectively, for the year ended
      September&#160;29,&#160;2012, compared with $1.67 and $1.60 per share,
      respectively, for the year ended September 24, 2011.
    </p>
    <p>
      Capital expenditures totaled $180.6 million and $97.5 million for fiscal
      2012 and 2011, respectively. The largest capital expenditure in fiscal
      2012 was for the completion of the new distribution facility, including
      expenditures for related vehicles and equipment.
    </p>
    <p>
      The Company has a line of credit facility totaling $175.0 million of
      which there was $40.1 million outstanding at September&#160;29,&#160;2012. The
      Company is in compliance with all of its debt agreements and has
      significant unencumbered assets at September 29, 2012.
