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. In accordance with the Reclassification Agreement, on June 18, 2026, one business day prior to the record date for the Company’s 2026 annual meeting, all outstanding shares of the Class C Preferred Stock automatically converted into Common Stock. A total of 19,664 shares of Class C Preferred Stock, with a par value of $1.50 per share and a conversion ratio of 61.275 shares of Common Stock per preferred share, were converted into 1,204,908 shares of Common Stock. Any fractional shares resulting from the conversion were settled in cash. See additional discussion in Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements.

Previous report
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 and enable them to realize the full potential value of their investment in the Company. The Rights Plan is designed to reduce the likelihood that any entity, person or group would gain control of the Company through the open-market or other accumulation of the Company’s shares without appropriately compensating all shareholders for control. The Rights Plan is not intended to prevent or interfere with any attempt to purchase the entire Company. It is also not intended to prevent or interfere with any action with respect to the Company that the Board determines to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Instead, it will position the Board to fulfill its fiduciary duties on behalf of all shareholders by ensuring that the Board has sufficient time to make informed judgments about any attempts to control or significantly influence the Company. The Rights Plan will encourage anyone seeking to gain a significant interest in the Company to negotiate directly with the Board prior to attempting to control or significantly influence the Company. Pursuant to the Rights Plan, the Company issued one right for each common share outstanding as of the close of business on November 24, 2025. The rights will initially 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”). 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. See additional discussion related to the Rights Plan in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements.

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”). These stores were closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and $14.8 million of net store closing costs were recorded during the quarter ended June 28, 2025. During the nine months ended December 27, 2025, the Company sold 25 owned stores and related equipment. We received net proceeds of $17.4 million and recorded a net gain of $9.1 million. Additionally, the Company assigned 35 leases to third parties and early terminated 22 leases. We received net proceeds of $5.4 million and recorded a net gain of $12.0 million, which included the derecognition of lease liabilities. The total net gain of $21.1 million was recorded in operating, selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the nine months ended December 27, 2025.
Previous report
As a result, net gain on closings included in operating, selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income was $6.3 million for the nine months ended December 27, 2025. Net store closing costs/net gain on closings represent expected costs to be incurred related to the vacating of stores, utilities, real estate taxes, maintenance, other on-going costs related to the properties, and the disposal of inventory and other store assets, net of gains on early lease terminations, lease assignments and sales of owned locations. See additional discussion related to the Store Closure Plan in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

On December 2, 2025, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Peter Fitzsimmons whereby he will continue to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer and appointed him as a member of the Board of Directors. Prior to December 2, 2025, Mr. Fitzsimmons served as the President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to an engagement letter between the Company and AP Services, LLC, an affiliate of AlixPartners, LLP (“AlixPartners”). Following Mr. Fitzsimmons’ departure from AlixPartners, on December 23, 2025 the Company and AlixPartners entered into a master service agreement pursuant to which AlixPartners will be able to serve promptly in consulting roles as needed at its standard engagement rates to support the development and implementation of the Company’s long-term growth strategy to improve the Company’s financial performance.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased 60 basis points (“bps”) for the three months ended December 27, 2025, as compared to the prior year comparable period. Material costs decreased, as a percentage of sales, due primarily to better material margin in our service categories. Occupancy costs decreased, as a percentage of sales, as we gained leverage on these largely fixed costs with higher comparable store sales and benefit from store closures. Partially offsetting this was an increase in technician labor costs, as a percentage of sales, due primarily to wage inflation. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased 20 basis points for the nine months ended December 27, 2025, as compared to the prior year comparable period. The decrease in gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was primarily due to increased technician labor, due primarily to wage inflation, partially offset by decreased occupancy costs and decreased material costs, due primarily to better material margin in our service categories.
Current wording
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased 50 basis points (“bps”) for the three months ended June 27, 2026, as compared to the prior year comparable period.

Previous wording
Thedecrease of $11.0 million in operating, selling, general and administrative (“OSG&A”) expenses for the three months ended December 27, 2025, from the comparable prior year period is primarily due to a decrease in store closing costs, net of gains on sales of closed stores, lease assignments and early lease terminations and a decrease in costs from closed stores, partially offset by increased store advertising costs and consulting costs related to our Operational Improvement Plan. The following table shows the impact of these costs on the change in OSG&A expenses for the three months and nine months ended December 27, 2025, as compared to the same periods ended December 28, 2024.

For the nine months ended December 28, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $103.0 million, which consisted of net income of $16.1 million, increased by non-cash adjustments of $58.3 million and net change in operating assets and liabilities of $28.6 million. The non-cash charges were largely driven by $52.4 million of depreciation and amortization, as well as $5.7 million in deferred income tax expense. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to our supply chain finance program being a source of cash as we improved our cash flow by $80.7 million. This was partially offset by accrued expenses and other current assets being a use of cash of $24.4 million driven by timing of payments, as well as our inventory balance being a use of cash of $22.2 million due to increased inventory purchases.

The change in operating assets and liabilities was largely driven by timing of payments that caused accounts payable and accrued expenses to be a use of cash of $43.2 million. The non-cash charges were largely driven by $15.7 million of depreciation and amortization, $1.6 million in share-based compensation expenses and $1.2 million in pension settlement expense, offset by a $2.3 million net gain on disposal of assets.

The change in operating assets and liabilities was driven by our inventory balance providing a source of cash of $25.3 million. This was partially offset by timing of payments that caused accounts payable and accrued expenses to be a use of cash of $21.5 million.
Current wording
For the three months ended June 28, 2025, cash used for operating activities was $1.9 million, which consisted of a net loss of $8.1 million and a change in operating assets and liabilities of $9.2 million, partially offset by non-cash adjustments of $15.4 million.
