Note 1 – Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Monro, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (together, “Monro”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), are engaged principally in providing automotive undercar repair and tire replacement sales and tire related services in the United States. Monro had 1,115 Company-operated retail stores located in 32 states and 46 Car-X franchised locations as of March 28, 2026.

A certain number of our retail locations also service commercial customers. Our locations that serve commercial customers generally operate consistently with our other retail locations, except that the sales mix for these locations includes a higher number of commercial tires.

As of March 28, 2026, Monro hadtwo retread facilities. The retread facilities re-manufacture tires through the replacement of tread on worn tires that are later sold to customers.

Monro’s operations are organized and managedasone single segment designed to offer our customers replacement tires and tire related services, automotive undercar repair services as well as a broad range of routine maintenance services, primarily on passenger cars, light trucks and vans. We also provide other products and services for brakes; mufflers and exhaust systems; and steering, drive train, suspension and wheel alignment. The internal management financial reporting that is the basis for evaluation to assess performance and allocate resources by our chief operating decision maker consists of consolidated data that includes the results of our retail and commercial locations. As such, ourone operating segment reflects how our operations are managed, how resources are allocated, how operating performance is evaluated by senior management, and the structure of our internal financial reporting.

Basis of Presentation

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Monro, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management’s use of estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with such principles requires the use of estimates by management during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fiscal year

We operate on a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in March. Fiscal years 2026 and 2025 each contained 52 weeks and fiscal 2024 contained 53 weeks. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, any references to “2026” or “fiscal 2026,” “2025” or “fiscal 2025,” and “2024” or “fiscal 2024” relate to the years ended March 28, 2026, March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively.

Correction of previously issued financial statements

While preparing the 2026 consolidated financial statements, the Company identified a prior period error in the financing activities section of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 and the quarters ended June 28, 2025, September 27, 2025 and December 27, 2025, related to the presentation of proceeds from borrowings and principal payments on borrowings associated with the Company’s Credit Facility. The error did not have an impact to our Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income or Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for any of the impacted periods, nor did it have any impact on total cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.

Although the Company determined that the error did not have a material impact on its previously issued annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements, the Company has corrected the error on the effected annual statements of cash flows included herein and will correct the affected interim statements of cash flows in future filings of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as applicable, to reflect proceeds from borrowings under the credit facility as cash inflows from financing activities and repayments of borrowings under the credit facility as cash outflows from financing activities, without affecting any cash flow totals. Our annual Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow reflect the changes in proceeds from borrowings under the credit facility cash inflows (outflows) from financing activities for the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, as shown in the charts below.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires income tax disclosure updates, primarily by requiring specific categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We prospectively adopted this guidance during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 8 for additional information.

In November 2024, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and operating, selling, general and administrative expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In September 2025, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes references to prescriptive software development stages and includes an updated framework for capitalizing internal software costs. The guidance is effective forannual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In December 2025, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements, which clarifies the scope and requirement for interim financial statement disclosures. The amendments create a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduces a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose, in interim periods, any event or change since the previous year-end that has a material effect on the entity. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) did not or are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash consists primarily of cash on hand and deposits with banks. Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase. Cash equivalents also include amounts due from third-party financial institutions for credit and debit card transactions. These receivables typically settle in three days or less.

NOTES

Inventories

Our inventories, which consist of automotive parts and oil as well as tires, are valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment, net is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the related lease terms. When assets are disposed of, the resulting gain or loss is recognized in operating, selling, general and administrative (“OSG&A”) expense on the Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Estimated Useful LivesLife (Years)
Buildings and improvements5 - 39
Equipment, signage, and fixtures3 - 15
Vehicles5 - 10

Capitalized internal use software costs

We capitalize the cost of computer software developed or obtained for internal use. Capitalized computer software costs consist primarily of payroll-related and consulting costs incurred during the application development stage. The Company expenses costs related to preliminary project assessments, research and development, re-engineering, training and application maintenance as they are incurred. Capitalized software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated life ofthree to 10 years. Property and equipment included capitalized computer software currently under development of approximately $8.4 million and $6.3 million, within construction-in-progress, as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively.

During the year ended March 28, 2026, we implemented Oracle HCM, a cloud-based human resources and payroll system, which included capitalized computer software development costs of approximately $7.0 million. These costs are within equipment, signage, and fixtures in property and equipment. See Note 4 for additional information on property and equipment.

Valuation of long-lived assets

We review for impairment to our long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are grouped at the store level and evaluated for impairment at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. If it is determined that the carrying amounts of such long-lived assets are not recoverable, the assets are written down to their estimated fair values. Fair value of the assets is determined based on the highest and best use of the asset group, considering external market participant assumptions.

During fiscal 2026, impairment charges of $0.3 million were recorded. During fiscal 2025, we evaluated certain stores having indicators of impairment based on operating performance. Based on the estimate of future recoverable cash flows, we recorded impairment charges in fiscal 2025 totaling $24.4 million. The impairment charges consisted of $8.8 million of operating lease ROU assets, $5.5 million of finance lease ROU assets and $10.1 million of leasehold improvements and equipment. Impairment charges of $1.9 million were recorded during fiscal 2024.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. We record ROUassets and lease obligations for our finance and operating leases, which are initially based on the discounted future minimum lease payments over the term of the lease. As the rate implicit in our leases is not easily determinable, our applicable incremental borrowing rate is used in calculating the present value of the lease payments. We estimate our incremental borrowing rate considering the market rates of our outstanding borrowings and comparisons to comparable borrowings of similar terms.

Lease term is defined as the non-cancelable period of the lease plus any option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will be exercised. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, no ROU assets or lease obligations are recorded on the balance sheet, and we recognize short-term lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

NOTES

Certain of our lease agreements include rental payments based on a percentage of retail sales over specified levels and others include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. For most classes of underlying assets, we have elected to separate lease from non-lease components. We have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for certain classes of equipment. We generally sublease excess space to third parties.

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of sales, including occupancy costs (“cost of sales”) or OSG&A expense. Amortization expense for finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of sales or OSG&A expense. Interest expense for finance leases is recognized using the effective interest method, and is included in interest expense, net of interest income. Variable payments, short-term rentals and payments associated with non-lease components are expensed as incurred. See Note 12 for additional information on leases.

Guarantees

At the time we issue a guarantee, we recognize an initial liability for the value of the obligation we assume under that guarantee. Monro has guaranteed certain lease payments related to lease assignments amounting to $18.6 million. This amount represents the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantees as of March 28, 2026. Leases guaranteed by Monro have options that expire through various dates from September 2026 through January 2044. In the event of default by the assignee, Monro retains the right to assume the lease of the related store. As of March 28, 2026, we have recorded a liability of $1.3 million related to the estimated probability of defaults under the foregoing leases, with $0.1 million and $1.2 million within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Goodwill and intangible assets

We have a history of growth through acquisitions. Assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying net assets of acquired businesses. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment during the third quarter of each year, or earlier upon the occurrence of a triggering event. We haveone reporting unit which encompasses all operations including new acquisitions. Generally, fair value of the reporting unit is determined using a discounted projected future cash flows model and is compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit for purposes of identifying potential impairment. The calculation of fair value under the discounted future cash flows is based on estimates including revenue projections, EBITDA margin and discount rate, among others. Projected future cash flows are based on management’s knowledge of the current operating environment and expectations for the future. Goodwill impairment is recognized for any excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill. No impairment was recorded in fiscal 2026, 2025 or 2024. Results of the goodwill impairment reviews performed during 2026 and 2025 are summarized in Note 5.

Our intangible assets primarily represent allocations of purchase price to identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses and are amortized over their estimated useful lives. All intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. If such indicators are present, it is determined whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to such assets is less than their carrying values. Based on our review as of March 28, 2026, we concluded that the carrying values of our intangible assets were not impaired. No impairment was recorded in fiscal 2026, 2025 or 2024.

A deterioration of macroeconomic conditions may not only negatively impact the estimated operating cash flows used in our cash flow models but may also negatively impact other assumptions used in our analyses, including, but not limited to, the estimated cost of capital and/or discount rate. Additionally, we are required to ensure that assumptions used to determine fair value in our analyses are consistent with the assumptions a hypothetical marketplace participant would use. As a result, the cost of capital and/or discount rate used in our analyses may increase or decrease based on market conditions and trends, regardless of whether our actual cost of capital has changed. Therefore, we may recognize an impairment of an intangible asset or assets even though realized actual cash flows are approximately equal to or greater than our previously forecasted amounts. See Note 5 for additional information on goodwill and intangible assets.

Store closings

On May 23, 2025, following an evaluation of market segmentation and demographic data specific to geographic areas where our stores are located, our Board of Directors approved a plan to close 145 underperforming stores that we identified to have failed to maintain an acceptable level of profitability (the “Store Closure Plan”), and these stores were closed in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

For the year ended March 28, 2026, we recorded total expenses of $14.8 million related to the Store Closure Plan, which include $10.7 million in expected costs to be incurred related to the vacating of stores, utilities, real estate taxes, maintenance, other on-going costs

NOTES

related to the properties, $3.5 million related to the disposal of inventory and other store assets and $0.6 million related to third-party vendors and other expected cost adjustments. These expenses were recorded inoperating, selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss). As of March 28, 2026, the Company had a remaining liability of $3.7 million, representing such costs to be settled in future periods, with $1.8 million and $1.9 million included within Other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. We expect these costs to be settled within the nextone tofive years.

The table below summarizes the changes in our closed stores reserves by activity for the year ended March 28, 2026 as follows:

Closed Stores Reserves
(thousands)March 28, 2026
Reserve balance at the beginning of the year$—
Expenses recorded10,652
Payments made(6,388)
Other adjustments(543)
Reserve balance at the end of the year$3,721

As of March 28, 2026, the Company had sold 26 owned stores and related equipment under the Store Closure Plan. We received net proceeds of $19.7 million and recorded a net gain of $9.9 million. Additionally, the Company assigned 36 leases to third parties and early terminated 32 leases. We received net proceeds of $5.6 million and recorded a net gain of $12.2 million, which included the derecognition of lease liabilities, under the Store Closure Plan. These net gains were recorded inoperating, selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Assets held for sale

We classify long-lived assets to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the required criteria are met. We initially measure a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held-for-sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset until the date of sale. Upon determining that a long-lived asset meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, we cease depreciation and report long-lived assets, if material, as assets held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On May 23, 2025, our Board of Directors approved the Store Closure Plan related to 145 underperforming stores. These stores were closed and we determined that $13.0 million of building, land and certain equipment met the criteria to be classified as held for sale during the first quarter of fiscal 2026. For the year ended March 28, 2026, approximately $8.8 million of assets held for sale were sold. As of March 28, 2026, $4.2 million of buildings, land and certain equipment remain classified as assets held for sale.

On June 1, 2023, we announced the planned sale of our corporate headquarters at 200 Holleder Parkway in Rochester, New York and our plan to relocate our corporate headquarters to another location in the greater Rochester area and determined that the related assets met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. On July 3, 2024, we completed the sale of our corporate headquarters. We received net proceeds of approximately $9.1 million and recorded a net gain of approximately $2.8 million in operating selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended March 29, 2025.

Insurance reserves

We maintain a high retention deductible plan with respect to workers’ compensation and general liability insurance claims (except for in Ohio in which we are self-insured) and are otherwise self-insured for employee medical claims. To reduce our risk and better manage our overall loss exposure, we purchase stop-loss insurance that covers individual claims more than the deductible amounts, and caps total losses in a fiscal year. We maintain an accrual for the estimated cost to settle open claims as well as an estimate of the cost of claims that have been incurred but not reported. These estimates take into consideration the historical average claim volume, the average cost for settled claims, current trends in claim costs, changes in our business and workforce, and general economic factors. These accruals are reviewed on a quarterly basis. For more complex reserve calculations, such as workers’ compensation, we periodically use the services of an actuary to assist in determining the required reserve for open claims.

Warranty

We provide an accrual for estimated future warranty costs for parts that we install based upon the historical relationship of warranty costs to sales. See Note 7 for additional information on tire road hazard warranty agreements.

NOTES

Comprehensive income

As it relates to Monro, comprehensive income is defined as net income as adjusted for pension liability adjustments and is reported net of related taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) and in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity.

Income taxes

We account for income taxes pursuant to the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the expected future tax consequences arising from temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities based on enacted statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. Any effects of changes in income tax rates or laws are included in income tax expense in the period of enactment. A valuation allowance is recognized if we determine it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be recognized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent and expected future results of operation. Monro recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits and a consideration of the relevant taxing authority's administrative practices and precedents. See Note 8 for additional information on income taxes.

Treasury stock

Treasury stock is accounted for using the par value method.

Share-based compensation

We provide share-based compensation through non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units. We measure compensation cost arising from the grant of share-based payments to an employee at fair value and recognize such cost in income over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant primarily using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The assumptions used to estimate fair value require judgment and are subject to change in the future due to factors such as employee exercise behavior, stock price trends, and changes to type or provisions of share-based awards. Any material change in one or more of these assumptions could have an impact on the estimated fair value of a future award.

Black-Scholes Valuation Model Assumptions
(weighted average)2026 (e)20252024
Risk-free interest rate (a)N/A%5.04%4.22%
Expected term (years) (b)N/A44
Expected volatility (c)N/A%35.28%40.60%
Dividend yield (d)N/A%4.16%3.07%

(a)Risk-free interest rates are yields for zero coupon U.S. Treasury notes maturing approximately at the end of the expected option term.

(b)Expected term is based on historical exercise behavior and on the terms and conditions of the stock option award.

(c)Expected volatility is based on a combination of historical volatility, using Monro stock prices over a period equal to the expected term, and implied market volatility.

(d)Dividend yield is based on historical dividend experience and expected future changes, if any.

(e)There were no non-qualified stock options issued in fiscal 2026.

The fair value of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and performance stock units (collectively, “restricted stock”) are generally determined based on the stock price at the date of grant.

We are required to estimate forfeitures and only record compensation costs for those awards that are expected to vest. The assumptions for forfeitures were determined based on type of award and historical experience. Forfeiture assumptions are adjusted at the point in time a significant change is identified, with any adjustment recorded in the period of change, and the final adjustment at the end of the requisite service period to equal actual forfeitures.

We recognize compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock using the straight-line approach. Option awards and restricted stock generally vest equally over the service period established in the award, typically three years orfour years. See Note 10 for additional detail on stock-based compensation.

NOTES

Earnings (loss) per common share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share amounts are calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders, after deducting preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share amounts are calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities.

Diluted earnings (loss) per share includes the potential dilutive effect of common stock equivalents as if such securities were converted or exercised during the period when the effect is dilutive. Because the impact of these items is generally anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there is no difference between basic and diluted loss per common share for periods with net losses.

Advertising

The cost of advertising is generally expensed at the first time the advertising takes place, except for direct response advertising which is capitalized and amortized over its expected period of future benefit. Total advertising expenses were approximately $31.5 million, $19.0 million and $15.4 million in fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and are included within operating selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Direct response advertising consists primarily of coupons for Monro’s services. The capitalized costs of this advertising are amortized over the period of the coupon’s validity, which is typicallytwo months.

Vendor rebates

We receive vendor support in the form of allowances through a variety of vendor-sponsored programs, such as volume rebates, promotions, and advertising allowances, referred to as “vendor rebates”. Vendor rebates are primarily recorded as a reduction of cost of sales.

We establish a receivable for vendor rebates that are earned but not yet received. Based on purchase data and the terms of the applicable vendor-sponsored programs, we estimate the amount earned. Most of the year-end vendor rebates receivable is collected within the following first quarter. See Note 3 for additional information on vendor rebates.

Working capital management

As part of our ongoing efforts to manage our working capital and improve our cash flow, certain financial institutions offer to certain of our suppliers a voluntary supply chain finance program to provide our suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from us (our accounts payable) to a participating financial institution subject to the independent discretion of both the supplier and the participating financial institution. Should a supplier choose to participate in the program, it may receive payment from the financial institution in advance of agreed contractual payment terms; our responsibility is limited to making payments to the respective financial institution on the terms originally negotiated with our supplier and no other guarantees are provided by us under the supply chain finance program. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate and we have no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions, as it relates to the supply chain finance program. We have concluded that the program is a trade payable program and not indicative of a borrowing arrangement. See Note 15 for additional information.

Note 2 – Divestiture

On June 17, 2022, we completed the divestiture of assets relating to our wholesale tire operations (seven locations) and internal tire distribution operations to American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATD”). We received $62 million from ATD at the closing of the transaction, of which approximately $5 million was held in escrow and subsequently paid in December 2023. The remaining $40 million (“Earnout”) of the total consideration of $102 million was to be paid quarterly over approximately three years based on our tire purchases from or through ATD pursuant to a distribution and fulfillment agreement with ATD. As of March 29, 2025, there was $3.5 million outstanding in Other current assets in our Consolidated Balance sheets, which was fully collected in the first quarter of fiscal 2026.

Under a distribution agreement between us and ATD, ATD agreed to supply and sell tires to retail locations we own. Our company-owned retail stores are required to purchase at least 90 percent of their forecasted requirements for certain passenger car tires, light truck replacement tires, and medium truck tires from or through ATD. Any tires that ATD is unable to supply or fulfill from those categories are excluded from the calculation of our requirements for tires. The initial term of the distribution agreement will expire January 1, 2030, with automatic 12-month renewal periods thereafter.

Note 5 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill was $736.4 million as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.

Impairment of Goodwill

When performing the quantitative analysis for goodwill impairment testing, we base the fair value of our reporting unit on consideration of various valuation methodologies, including projecting future cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the risks involved (“DCF”). Assumptions used in a DCF require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rate and terminal values, growth rates, and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. The forecasted cash flows are based on current plans and assumed growth rates for future years. The calculation of fair value under the discounted future cash flows is based on estimates including revenue projections, EBITDA margin and discount rate, among others. Projected future cash flows are based on management’s knowledge of the current operating environment and expectations for the future. We believe that our assumptions are consistent with the plans and estimates used to manage the underlying businesses. The discount rate, which is intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections, used in a DCF are based on estimates of the weighted-average cost of capital of a market participant. Such estimates are derived from our analysis of peer companies and consider the industry weighted average return on debt and equity from a market participant perspective.

We perform the annual goodwill impairment test for our single-reporting unit segment as of the first day of the third quarter of each year, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist. We identified a triggering event during the year and we performed a quantitative analysis of the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit for both the annual impairment assessment performed as of September 28, 2025, and the interim impairment assessment as of March 28, 2026. The interim and annual goodwill impairment testing concluded that no impairment was required.

NOTES

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and 2025, we experienced continued industry disruption, which resulted in a reduction in our near-term and long-term outlook. We also experienced a decline in our market capitalization as a result of a decrease in our stock price. Our stock price has a history of volatility, however, given the decrease was sustained throughout the quarter, we viewed this event as a triggering event for the quarters ended March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025. Our goodwill impairment testing concluded that no impairment was required at that time, and we have undertaken operational changes, including changes in management and strategy, that we believe will lead to improvements in the performance of the business and cash flows. Our forecast of future cash flows is based on our best estimate of projected revenue and projected operating margin, based primarily on pricing, material costs, market share, industry outlook, general economic conditions and strategic actions to improve our operating margin. Based on our impairment test, we had an estimated fair value that exceeded our carrying value, including goodwill, by approximately 20% and 25% in fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Note 6 – Long Term Debt

Credit Facility

In April 2019, we entered into afive-year $600 million revolving credit facility agreement with eight banks (the “Credit Facility”). Interest only is payable monthly throughout the Credit Facility’s term. The borrowing capacity for the Credit Facility of $600 million includes an accordion feature permitting us to request an increase in availability of up to an additional $250 million. The Credit Facility initially bore interest at 75 to 200 basis points over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (or replacement index) or at the prime rate, depending on the type of borrowing and the rates then in effect.

On June 11, 2020, we entered into a First Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “First Amendment”), which, among other things, amended the terms of certain of the financial and restrictive covenants in the credit agreement through the first quarter of 2022 to provide us with additional flexibility to operate our business. The First Amendment amended the interest rate charged on borrowings to be based on the greater of adjusted one-month LIBOR or 0.75 percent. For the period from June 30, 2020 to June 30, 2021, the minimum interest rate spread charged on borrowings was 225 basis points over LIBOR.

Additionally, during the same period, we were permitted to declare, make, or pay any dividend or distribution up to $38.5 million in the aggregate and the acquisition of stores or other businesses up to $100 million in the aggregate were permitted if we are in compliance with the financial covenants and other restrictions in the First Amendment and Credit Facility. The Credit Facility requires fees payable quarterly throughout the term between 0.125 percent and 0.35 percent of the amount of the average net availability under the Credit Facility during the preceding quarter.

NOTES

On October 5, 2021, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”). The Second Amendment amended the interest rate charged on borrowings to be based on the greater of adjusted one-month LIBOR or 0.00 percent. In addition, the Second Amendment updated certain provisions regarding a successor interest rate to LIBOR.

On November 10, 2022, we entered into a Third Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Third Amendment”). The Third Amendment, among other things, extended the term of the Credit Facility to November 10, 2027 and amended certain of the financial terms in the Credit Agreement, as amended by the Second Amendment. The Third Amendment amended the interest rate charged on borrowings to be based on 0.10 percent over the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), replacing the previously used LIBOR. In addition, one additional bank was added to the bank syndicate for a total of nine banks now within the syndicate. We were required to maintain an interest coverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Facility, of at least 1.55 to 1. In addition, our ratio of adjusted debt to EBITDAR, as defined in the Credit Facility, cannot exceed 4.75 to 1, subject to certain exceptions under the Credit Facility.

On May 23, 2024, we entered into a Fourth Amendment to the Credit Facility (the “Fourth Amendment”). The Fourth Amendment, among other things, amended the terms of certain of the financial and restrictive covenants in the Credit Agreement, to provide us with additional flexibility to operate our business from the first quarter of fiscal 2025 through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 (“the Covenant Relief Period”). During the Covenant Relief Period, the minimum interest coverage ratio was reduced from 1.55 x to 1.00x to: (a)1.25 x to 1.00x from the first quarter of fiscal 2025 through the first quarter of fiscal 2026; (b)1.35 x to 1.00x from the second quarter of fiscal 2026 through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026; and (c)1.55 x to 1.00x for the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and thereafter. During the Covenant Relief Period, the maximum ratio of adjusted debt to EBITDAR remained at 4.75 x to 1.00x, except that, if we completed a qualified acquisition during the Covenant Relief Period, the maximum ratio would increase to 5.00 x to 1.00x for a certain 12-month period after the qualified acquisition.

In addition, the Fourth Amendment modified the definition of “EBITDAR” to permit add-backs relating to expenses, and restrict add-backs related to gains, associated with store closures of (a) all non-cash items and (b) cash items up to 20% of EBITDA from the first quarter of fiscal 2025 through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and up to 15% of EBITDA from the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and thereafter. During the Covenant Relief Period, the interest rate spread charged on borrowings increased by 25 basis points. During the Covenant Relief Period, the restrictions on our ability to declare dividends were modified to reduce the cushion inside the threshold required for us to be able to declare dividends without restriction from 0.50 x to 0.25 x. In addition, during the Covenant Relief Period, we were required to have minimum liquidity of at least $400 million to declare dividends. We were prohibited from repurchasing our securities during the Covenant Relief Period if there were outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility immediately before or after giving effect to the repurchase. During the Covenant Relief Period, we were permitted to acquire stores or other businesses as long as we had minimum liquidity of at least $400 million after completing the acquisition.

On May 23, 2025, we entered into a Fifth Amendment to our Credit Facility (the “Fifth Amendment”). The Fifth Amendment amended the terms of certain of the financial and restrictive covenants in the Credit Facility to provide us with additional flexibility to operate our business from the first quarter of fiscal 2026 through the first quarter of fiscal 2027 (the “Extended Covenant Relief Period”). During the Extended Covenant Relief Period, the minimum interest coverage ratio was reduced from 1.55 x to 1.00x to: (a)1.15 x to 1.00x from the first quarter of fiscal 2026 through the third quarter of fiscal 2026; (b)1.25 x to 1.00x from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 through the first quarter of fiscal 2027; and (c)1.55 x to 1.00x for the second quarter of fiscal 2027 and thereafter. During the Extended Covenant Relief Period, the maximum ratio of adjusted debt to EBITDAR remained at 4.75 x to 1.00x, except that, if we completed a qualified acquisition during the Extended Covenant Relief Period, the maximum ratio would increase to 5.00 x to 1.00x for a certain 12-month period after the qualified acquisition.

In addition to the Fourth Amendment modifications, the Fifth Amendment further modified the definition of “EBITDAR” to permit add-backs relating to non-cash impairment and other expenses, with the restriction for add-backs of certain cash expense items up to 20% of EBITDA from the first quarter of fiscal 2026 through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and up to 15% of EBITDA from the first quarter of fiscal 2027 and thereafter. During the Extended Covenant Relief Period, the interest rate spread charged on borrowings was 225 basis points. During the Extended Covenant Relief Period, the restrictions on our ability to declare dividends were modified to reduce the cushion inside the threshold required for us to be able to declare dividends without restriction from 0.50 x to 0.25 x. In addition, during the Extended Covenant Relief Period, we were required to have minimum liquidity of at least $300 million to declare dividends. We were prohibited from repurchasing our securities during the Extended Covenant Relief Period if there are outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility immediately before or after giving effect to the repurchase. During the Extended Covenant Relief Period, we were permitted to acquire stores or other businesses as long as we had minimum liquidity of at least $300 million after completing the acquisition. In addition, the Fifth Amendment permanently reduced the Credit Facility from $600 million to $500 million.

As of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, the interest rate spread paid by the Company was 225 and 175 basis points over SOFR, respectively.

NOTES

Within the Credit Facility, we have a sub-facility of $80 million available for the purpose of issuing standby letters of credit. The sub-facility requires fees aggregating 87.5 to 212.5 basis points annually of the face amount of each standby letter of credit, payable quarterly in arrears. There was a $30.1 million outstanding letter of credit as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.

Mortgages and specific lease financing arrangements with other parties (with certain limitations) are permitted under the Credit Facility. Other specific terms and the maintenance of specified ratios are generally consistent with our prior financing agreement that was replaced with the new agreement entered into in April 2019. Additionally, the Credit Facility is not secured by our real property, although we have agreed not to encumber our real property, with certain permissible exceptions.

There was$60.0 million outstanding and $409.9 million available under the Credit Facility as of March 28, 2026, subject to compliance with our covenants.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 28, 2026.

On May 21, 2026, we entered into a Sixth Amendment to our Credit Facility (the “Sixth Amendment”). The Sixth Amendment amends the terms of certain of the financial and restrictive covenants in the Credit Facility to provide us with additional flexibility to operate our business to the Credit Facility maturity date, or November 10, 2027 (the “Further Extended Covenant Relief Period”).

During the Further Extended Covenant Relief Period, the minimum interest coverage ratio will be reduced from 1.55 x to 1.25. During the Further Extended Covenant Relief Period, the maximum ratio of adjusted debt to EBITDAR remains at 4.75 x to 1.00x, except that, if we completed a qualified acquisition during the Further Extended Covenant Relief Period, the maximum ratio would increase to 5.00 x to 1.00x for a certain 12-month period after the qualified acquisition. In addition to the Fourth and Fifth Amendment modifications, the Sixth Amendment further modifies the definition of “EBITDAR” to permit add-backs relating to non-cash pension accounting charges.

During the Further Extended Covenant Relief Period, the restrictions on our ability to declare dividends were modified to reduce the cushion inside the threshold required for us to be able to declare dividends without restriction from 0.50 x to 0.25 x. In addition, during the Further Extended Covenant Relief Period, we must have minimum liquidity of at least $200 million to declare dividends. We are prohibited from repurchasing our securities during the Further Extended Covenant Relief Period if there are outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility immediately before or after giving effect to the repurchase. During the Further Extended Covenant Relief Period, we may acquire stores or other businesses as long as we have minimum liquidity of at least $200 million after completing the acquisition.

Except as amended by the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Third Amendment, Fourth Amendment, Fifth Amendment and Sixth Amendment, the remaining terms of the Credit Facility remain in full force and effect.

Long-term debt had a carrying amount and a fair value of $60.0 million as of March 28, 2026, as compared to a carrying amount and a fair value of $61.3 million as of March 29, 2025. The carrying value of our debt approximated its fair value due to the variable interest nature of the debt.

Note 7 – Revenue

Automotive undercar repair, tire replacement sales and tire related services represent most of our revenues. We also earn revenue from the sale of tire road hazard warranty agreements as well as commissions earned from the delivery of tires on behalf of certain tire vendors.

Revenue from automotive undercar repair, tire replacement sales and tire related services is recognized at the time the customers take possession of their vehicle or merchandise. For sales to certain customers that are financed through the offering of credit on account, payment terms are established for customers based on our pre-established credit requirements. Payment terms vary depending on the customer and generally are 30 days. Based on the nature of receivables, no significant financing components exist. Sales are recorded net of discounts, sales incentives and rebates, sales taxes, and estimated returns and allowances. We estimate the reduction to sales and cost of sales for returns based on current sales levels and our historical return experience. Such amounts are immaterial to our consolidated financial statements.

(a) Includes the sale of tire road hazard warranty agreements and tire delivery commissions.

Revenue from the sale of tire road hazard warranty agreements is initially deferred and is recognized over the contract period as costs are expected to be incurred, typically 21 to 36 months. The deferred revenue balances at March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 were approximately $18.8 million and $21.0 million, respectively, of which $13.2 million and $14.7 million, respectively, are reported in Deferred revenue and $5.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, are reported in Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We expect to recognize $13.2 million of deferred revenue related to road hazard warranty agreements during ourfiscal year ending March 27, 2027 and $5.6 million of such deferred revenue thereafter.

Under various arrangements, we receive from certain tire vendors, a delivery commission and reimbursement for the cost of the tire that we may deliver to customers on behalf of the tire vendor. The commission we earn from these transactions is as an agent and the net amount retained is recorded as sales.

Note 8 – Income Taxes

Income (loss) before income taxes were $3.1 million, $(5.9) million and $51.9 million during 2026, 2025 and 2024 respectively.

In December 2023, the FASB issued new accounting guidance ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires income tax disclosure updates, primarily by requiring specific categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. We adopted the standard prospectively in fiscal 2026.

NOTES

We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establish valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of March 28, 2026, we concluded, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that most of our deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, except the estimated amount of future state net operating loss assets in certain jurisdictions that will expire unutilized.

We didnot have any unrecognized tax benefits as of March 28, 2026. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $1.4 million and $2.4 million as of March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively, the majority of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

In the normal course of business, Monro provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties accordingly. We didnot have any interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax benefits accrued as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.

We file U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in certain state jurisdictions. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2023 – 2025 and various state tax years remain subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities.

Note 9 – Stock Ownership

Holders of at least 60 percent of the Class C convertible preferred stock must approve any action authorized by the holders of Common Stock. In addition, there are certain restrictions on the transferability of shares of Class C convertible preferred stock. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Monro, the holders of the Class C convertible preferred stock would be entitled to receivean amount equal to the greater of $1.50 per share and the amount the holder would have received had each share of Class C convertible preferred stock been converted to shares of common stock immediately prior to the liquidation, dissolution, or winding upbefore any amount would be paid to holders of Common Stock. The conversion value of the Class C convertible preferred stock was one to 61.275 common stock shares as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.

In May 2023, we entered into an agreement to reclassify our equity capital structure to eliminate the Class C convertible preferred stock. See Note 17 for additional information regarding the equity capital structure reclassification.

Note 10 – Share-based Compensation

We maintain a long-term incentive plan whereby eligible employees and non-employee directors may be granted non-qualified service condition stock options, non-qualified market condition stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units. We grant share-based awards to continue to attract and retain employees and to better align employees’ interests with those of our shareholders. Monro issues new shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of stock options.

Share-based compensation expense included in cost of sales and OSG&A expense in Monro’s Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for 2026, 2025 and 2024 was $3.9 million, $4.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively, and the related income tax benefit for each year was $1.0 million, $1.2 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Monro currently grants stock option awards, shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units under the 2007 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”), as amended and restated effective August 2017. As of March 28, 2026, there were a total of 7,116,620 shares and 2,155,873 shares that were authorized and available for grant under the 2007 Plan, respectively.

NOTES

As of March 28, 2026, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards was $0.6 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximatelyone year. There were no options granted during 2026. The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during 2025 and 2024 was $6.60 and $11.02, respectively. The total fair value of stock options vested during 2026, 2025 and 2024 was $0.8 million, $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively. There wereno stock options exercised during 2026, 2025 or 2024.

Restricted Stock

Monro issues restricted stock awards (“RSAs”), restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”) to certain members of management as well as non-employee directors of the Company (collectively, “restricted stock”). RSAs represent shares issued upon grant that are restricted whereas RSUs and PSUs represent shares issued upon vesting in the future. The fair value for RSAs, RSUs and PSUs are generally calculated based on the stock price on the date of grant. RSAs have voting rights and earn dividends during the vesting period. RSUs and PSUs do not have voting rights but earn dividends during the vesting period. The dividends are paid to the recipient at the time the RSA, RSU or PSU becomes vested. If the recipient leaves Monro prior to the vesting date for any reason, the shares of RSA or the shares underlying RSU or PSU, and the dividends accrued on those shares will be forfeited and returned to Monro. Generally, RSAs and RSUs vest equally over three orfour years. Generally, PSUs vest at the end ofthree years based upon the achievement of certain performance targets.

During 2026, the Company granted RSAs, RSUs and PSUs in connection with the appointment of its new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective December 2, 2025.26,441 RSAs will vest overone year, and 59,492 RSUs will vest equally overtwo years on December 31, 2026 and December 31, 2027.178,476 PSUs may vest upon the Company’s common stock price meeting certain market conditions on December 31, 2027.

In 2024, the Company issued a limited number of PSUs to members of senior management which may vest at the end ofthree years upon the achievement of athree-year average return on invested capital target. In 2025, the Company issued a limited number of PSUs to members of senior management which may vest upon the achievement of athree-year average relative total shareholder return (“rTSR”) target. In 2026, the Company issued a limited number of PSUs to members of senior management, which performance vesting is split evenly between the achievement of athree-year average rTSR target and the achievement of a fiscal 2026 EBITDA target, followed by an additionaltwo-year time-vesting period.

(a)The computation of diluted earnings per common share for fiscal 2026 excludes the effect of approximately 97 shares related to restricted stock and 1,204 preferred stock conversions, as these had an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of net income available to the Company’s common shareholders per share during the year ended March 28, 2026.

(b)The computation of diluted loss per common share for fiscal 2025 excludes the effect of approximately 86 shares related to restricted stock and 1,204 preferred stock conversions, as the impact of these items is generally anti-dilutive during periods of net loss. Because of this, there is no difference between basic and diluted loss per common share for periods with net losses.

The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per common share for fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024 excludes the effect of approximately 816,000,767,000 and 608,000 of shares related to restricted stock and stock options, respectively, as the shares related to these restricted stock and the exercise price of these stock options were greater than the average market value of our common stock for those periods, resulting in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings (loss) per common share.

Note 12 – Leases

We lease certain retail stores, office space and land as well as service contracts that are considered leases.

Our leases have remaining lease terms, including renewals reasonably certain to be exercised, of less thanone year to approximately 32 years. Most of our leases include one or more options to extend the lease, for periods ranging from three years to 30 years or more.

Historical failed sale leasebacks that were assumed through acquisitions and do not qualify for sale leaseback accounting continue to be accounted for as financing obligations. As of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, net assets of $1.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and liabilities of $2.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively, due to failed sale leaseback arrangements were included with finance lease assets and liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 13 – Defined Benefit and Defined Contribution Plans

Defined Benefit Plan

We have a defined benefit pension plan covering employees who met eligibility requirements. This plan is closed to new participants. Eligibility and the level of benefits under the plan were primarily dependent on date of hire, age, length of service and compensation. The funding policy for our plan is consistent with the funding requirements of U.S. federal law and regulations.

The measurement date used to determine the pension plan measurements disclosed herein is March 31 for both 2026 and 2025. The overfunded status of Monro’s defined benefit plan is recognized as an Other non-current asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025.

Contributions and Estimated Future Benefit Payment

Our obligations to plan participants can be met over time through a combination of Company contributions to these plans and earnings on plan assets. There areno required or expected contributions in our fiscal year ending March 27, 2027 (“fiscal 2027”) to the plan. However, depending on investment performance and plan funded status, we may elect to make a contribution.

Our asset allocation strategy is to conservatively manage the assets to meet the plan’s long-term obligations while maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay current benefits. This is achieved by holding equity investments while investing a portion of assets in long duration bonds to match the long-term nature of the liabilities.

NOTES

Defined Contribution Plan

Our employees are eligible to participate in a defined contribution 401(k) plan that covers full-time employees who meet the age and service requirements of the plan. The plan is funded by employee and employer contributions. We match 50 percent of the first 6 percent of employee contributions. Employer contributions totaled approximately $1.7 million, $1.6 million and $1.9 million for 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We may also make annual profit-sharing contributions to the plan at the discretion of Monro’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

In addition, we maintain an executive deferred compensation plan (the “Executive Deferred Compensation Plan”) for a broad management group whose participation in our 401(k) plan is limited by statute or regulation. The Executive Deferred Compensation Plan permits participants to defer all or any portion of the compensation that would otherwise be payable to them for the calendar year. We credit to the participants’ accounts such amounts as would have been contributed to Monro’s 401(k) plan but for the limitations that are imposed by statute or regulation. The Executive Deferred Compensation Plan is an unfunded arrangement and the participants or their beneficiaries have an unsecured claim against the general assets of Monro to the extent of their Executive Deferred Compensation Plan benefits. We maintain accounts to reflect the amounts owed to each participant. At least annually, the accounts are credited with earnings or losses calculated based on an interest rate or other formula as determined by Monro’s Compensation Committee. The total liability recorded in our financial statements at March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025 related to the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan was approximately $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

(a) Finance and operating lease commitments represent future undiscounted lease payments and include $44.7 million and $28.7 million, respectively, related to options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised.

We believe that we can fulfill our commitments utilizing our cash flow from operations and, if necessary, cash on hand and/or bank financing.

Contingencies

We are currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings incidental to the conduct of our business. If management believes that a loss arising from any of these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, we will record the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur and may include monetary damages. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the financial position and results of operations of the period in which any such ruling occurs, or in future periods.

NOTES

Note 15 – Supplier Finance Program

We facilitate a voluntary supply chain financing program to provide our suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from us (our accounts payable) to a participating financial institution subject to the independent discretion of both the supplier and the participating financial institution. Should a supplier choose to participate in the program, it may receive payment from the financial institution in advance of agreed payment terms; our responsibility is limited to making payments to the respective financial institution on the terms originally negotiated with our supplier, which are generally for a term of up to 360 days.

Our outstanding supplier obligations eligible for advance payment under the program totaled $226.8 million and $245.5 million as of March 28, 2026 and March 29, 2025, respectively, and are included within Accounts Payable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our outstanding supplier obligations do not represent actual receivables sold by our suppliers to the financial institutions, which may be lower.

The Company’s confirmed obligations to suppliers participating in these financing arrangements consist of the following:

In connection with Mr. Fitzsimmons’ appointment, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with AP Services, LLC (“APS”), an affiliate of AlixPartners, pursuant to which APS provided for Mr. Fitzsimmons to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and for the additional resources of APS personnel as required. On December 2, 2025, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Peter Fitzsimmons, whereby he continues to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer and appointed him as a member of the Board of Directors at which time Mr. Fitzsimmons ceased serving as partner and managing director of AlixPartners and the consulting agreement with APS was terminated.

On March 28, 2025, the Company also entered into a consulting agreement with AlixPartners pursuant to which AlixPartners assessed the Company’s operations to develop a plan to improve the Company’s financial performance.

On May 30, 2025, the Company entered into Addendum 1 of its consulting agreement with AlixPartners, pursuant to which AlixPartners provided services to implement the plan developed from its detailed assessment of the Company (the “Operational Improvement Plan”) through July 31, 2025.

Note 17– Shareholder Governance Matters

Rights Plan

On November 9, 2025, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of a limited-duration shareholder rights plan (the “Rights Plan”), intended to protect the best interests of all Company shareholders. Pursuant to the Rights Plan, the Company issuedone right for each common share outstanding as of the close of business on November 24, 2025. The rights trade with the Company’s common stock and will generally become exercisable only if an entity, person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 17.5% or more of the Company’s outstanding shares (the “triggering percentage”). If the rights become exercisable, all holders of rights (other than the entity, person or group that acquired the triggering percentage) will be entitled to purchaseone one-thousandth of a share of Series D Junior Participating Serial Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company at a purchase price of $90.00, or the Company’s Board of Directors may exchangeone share of the Company’s common stock for each outstanding right (other than rights owned by such entity, person or group, that acquired the triggering percentage, which would have become void). Under the Rights Plan, any person that owns more than the triggering percentage as of the adoption of the Rights Plan may continue to own its shares of common stock but may not acquire any additional shares without triggering the Rights Plan. The Rights Plan has a one-year duration, expiring on November 6, 2026. The Board of Directors may consider an earlier termination of the Rights Plan as circumstances warrant.

Equity Capital Structure Reclassification

On May 12, 2023, we entered into a reclassification agreement (the “Reclassification Agreement”) with the holders (the “Class C Holders”) of our Class C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Class C Preferred Stock”) to reclassify our equity capital structure to eliminate the Class C Preferred Stock.

Under the Reclassification Agreement, after receiving shareholder approval on August 15, 2023, we filed amendments to our certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to create a mandatory conversion of any outstanding shares of Class C Preferred Stock prior to an agreed sunset date of the earliest of (i) August 15, 2026; (ii) the first business day immediately prior to the record date established for the determination of the shareholders of the Company entitled to vote at the Company’s 2026 annual meeting of shareholders; and (iii) the date on which the Class C Holders, in the aggregate, cease to beneficially own at least 50% of all shares of the Class C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding as of May 12, 2023. In exchange for this sunset of the Class C Preferred Stock, the conversion rate of Class C Preferred Stock was adjusted so that each share of Class C Preferred Stock will convert into 61.275 shares of common stock (the “adjusted conversion rate”), an increase from the prior conversion rate of 23.389 shares of common stock for each share of Class C Preferred Stock under the Certificate of Incorporation.

At the end of the sunset period, all shares of Class C Preferred Stock remaining outstanding will be automatically converted into shares of common stock at the adjusted conversion rate. In addition, the liquidation preference for the Class C Preferred Stock was amended to provide that, upon a liquidation event, each holder of Class C Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive, for each share of Class C Preferred Stock held by the holder upon a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Company, an amount equal to the greater of $1.50 per share and the amount the holder would have received had each share of Class C Preferred Stock been converted to shares of common stock immediately prior to the liquidation, dissolution, or winding up. There wasno Class C Preferred Stock converted during the year ended March 28, 2026. The Reclassification Agreement also provides that, during the sunset period, the Class C Holders will have the right to appointone member of the Board of Directors. This designee is expected to be Peter J. Solomon, who is one of the Company’s current directors and one of the Class C Holders.

We have determined the amendments to the Class C Preferred Stock, because of the Reclassification Agreement, should be accounted for as a modification.

Note 18 – Segment Reporting

The Company has asingle reportable operating segment “Monro, Inc.” The accounting policies of the operating segment are the same as those described in Note 1 of our Form 10-K. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer, who regularly reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance for the Company’ssingle reportable segment. The CODM primarily focuses on consolidated net income to evaluate its reportable segment. The CODM also uses consolidated net income for evaluating pricing strategy and to assess the performance for determining the compensation of certain employees. All segment expenses reviewed, which represent the difference between segment revenue and segment net income, consisted of the following:

Note 19 – Subsequent Events

On May 21, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.28 per common share or common share equivalent to be paid to shareholders of record as of June 2, 2026. The dividend will be paid on June 16, 2026.

On May 21, 2026, we entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Facility, which among other things, amends the terms of certain of the financial and restrictive covenants in the credit agreement to provide us with additional flexibility to operate our business to the Credit Facility maturity date, or November 10, 2027. See Note 6 for additional discussion related to the Sixth Amendment.
