Current report

On May 23, 2025, we entered into an amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to our 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 from the first quarter of fiscal 2026 through the first quarter of fiscal 2027.

Current report

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. As a result of the store closures, we recorded net store closing costs of $14.8 million during the three months ended June 28, 2025. See additional discussion related to the Store Closure Plan in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

Current report

Previous report

On October 23, 2024, American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATD”), one of our vendors for tires, filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. While ATD has proposed restructuring its business with the support of its lenders, uncertainty exists about how our distribution and fulfillment agreement with ATD will be treated in the proceeding and whether and when we will receive the remaining $6.8 million in earnout payments from our divesture of assets to ATD. We intend to seek the remaining earnout payments and future performance under the distribution agreement with ATD so that we will be able to continue to provide high-quality service to our guests.

Previous report

The United States economy has experienced higher inflation during fiscal 2024 and into fiscal 2025 and there are market expectations that consumer prices may remain at elevated levels for a sustained period. In addition, labor availability has continued to be constrained and market labor costs have continued to increase. These conditions may give rise to an economic slowdown, and perhaps a recession, and could further increase our costs and/or impact our revenues. It is unclear whether the current economic conditions and government responses to these conditions, including inflation, changing interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainty, will result in an economic slowdown or recession in the United States. If that occurs, demand for our products and services may further decline, possibly significantly, which may significantly and adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial position.

Previous report

Sales decreased 3.7 percent, primarily due to lower overall comparable store sales resulting from lower store traffic.

Previous report

Comparable store sales decreased 1.9 percent from the prior year, or a decrease of 0.8 percent if adjusted for selling days.

Previous report

(a) Comparable store sales decreased 0.8% and 5.6% when adjusted for selling days for the three months and nine months ended December 28, 2024.

Previous report

An increase in battery sales of 30% and 16% and an increase in alignment services of 13% and 1% in the three months and nine months ended December 28, 2024, respectively, partially offset the decrease in sales in other categories. Broad-based economic pressures impacting consumers partly led to lower demand in tires and our higher-margin service categories during the three months and nine months ended December 28, 2024. We expect the economic environment to continue to impact our customers throughout the remainder of fiscal 2025. The following table shows the primary drivers of the comparable store product category sales change for the three months and nine months ended December 28, 2024, as compared to the same period ended December 23, 2023.

Previous report

Net interest expenseof $14.5 million for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 decreased $0.5 million compared to the prior year period, and remained at 1.6 percent as a percentage of sales. Weighted average debt outstanding for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 decreased by approximately $34.7 million and the weighted average interest rate increased approximately 20 basis points as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Reworded paragraphs (28)

Previous wording

Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) were $0.15.

Current wording

Adjusted diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”), a non-GAAP measure, was $0.22.

Previous wording

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $5.8 million.

Current wording

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $7.0 million.

Previous wording

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, each of which is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP, exclude the impact of certain items. Management believes that adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS are useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations by excluding certain non-recurring items, such as costs related to litigation reserve, transition costs related to back-office optimization, store closing costs, closed store impairment charges, shareholder matters from our equity capital structure recapitalization, net loss on subsequent inventory adjustment related to the prior year sale of wholesale tire and distribution assets, and a gain on sale of corporate headquarters net of closing and relocation costs. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures are provided beginning onpage 17 under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Current wording

Adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, each of which is a measure not derived in accordance with GAAP, exclude the impact of certain items. Management believes that adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS are useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our operations by excluding certain items that are not part of our core operations, such as store closing costs, consulting costs related to the Company’s Operational Improvement Plan, transition costs related to back-office optimization, store impairment charges, corporate headquarters relocation costs and write-off of debt issuance costs. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures are provided beginning onpage 18 under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Previous wording

Sales include automotive undercar repair, tire replacement and tire related service sales, net of discounts, returns, etc., and revenue from the sale of warranty agreements and commissions earned from the delivery of tires. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for further information. We use comparable store sales to evaluate the performance of our existing stores by measuring the change in sales for a period over the comparable, prior-year period of equivalent length. There were 89 selling days in the three months ended December 28, 2024 and 90 selling days in the three months ended December 23, 2023, and 270 selling days in the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and 271 selling days in the nine months ended December 23, 2023. There was one fewer selling day in the three months and nine months ended December 28, 2024, as compared to the same period ended December 23, 2023, due to a shift in the timing of the Christmas holiday from the fourth quarter in fiscal 2024 to the third quarter in fiscal 2025.

Current wording

Sales include automotive undercar repair, tire replacement and tire related service sales, net of discounts, returns, and revenue from the sale of warranty agreements and commissions earned from the delivery of tires. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements for further information. We use comparable store sales to evaluate the performance of our existing stores by measuring the change in sales for a period over the comparable, prior-year period. There were 90 selling days in each of the three months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024.

Previous wording

The sales decrease was primarily due to adecrease in comparable store sales resulting from lower store traffic. Although overall comparable sales were down for the three months and nine months ended December 28, 2024, we returned to year-over-year comparable store sales growth in fiscal December. The following table shows the primary drivers of the change in sales for the three months and nine months ended December 28, 2024, as compared to the same period ended December 23, 2023.

Current wording

The sales increase was due to an increase in comparable store sales partially offset by a decrease in sales from closed stores. The following table shows the primary drivers of the change in sales for the three months ended June 28, 2025, as compared to the same period ended June 29, 2024.

Previous wording

(a) The comparable store product category sales change for the three and nine months ended December 28, 2024 are adjusted for selling days.

Current wording

During the three months ended June 28, 2025, comparable store sales increased across our product categories with significant growth in our front end/shocks category, as well as our batteries and brakes categories, each of which experienced significant declines during the three months ended June 29, 2024. The following table shows the primary drivers of the comparable store product category sales change for the three months ended June 28, 2025, as compared to the same period ended June 29, 2024

Previous wording

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased 120 basis points (“bps”) for the three months ended December 28, 2024, as compared to the prior year comparable period. Material costs increased, as a percentage of sales, due primarily to mix within tires and increased levels of self-funded promotions. Partially offsetting this was a decrease in technician labor costs, as a percentage of sales, due primarily to improvements in labor productivity and efficiency. Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased 20 basis points for the nine months ended December 28, 2024, as compared to the prior year comparable period. The increase in gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was primarily due to improvements in labor productivity and efficiency, partially offset by an increase in occupancy costs, as we lost leverage on these largely fixed costs, and an increase in material costs due primarily to mix within tires and increased levels of self-funded promotions.

Current wording

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, decreased 170 basis points (“bps”) for the three months ended June 28, 2025, as compared to the prior year comparable period. Technician labor costs increased, as a percentage of sales, due primarily to wage inflation. Material costs increased, as a percentage of sales, due primarily to mix within tires and increased levels of self-funded promotions. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in occupancy costs, as we gained leverage on these largely fixed costs with higher comparable store sales.

Previous wording

The increase of $3.5 million in operating, selling, general and administrative (“OSG&A”) expenses for the three months ended December 28, 2024, from the comparable prior year period is primarily due to an increase in OSG&A expenses from comparable stores, litigation reserve, transition costs related to back-office optimization, as well as costs related to store closings. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases due to closed stores, store advertising costs, costs related to shareholder matters and other net non-recurring costs. 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 28, 2024, as compared to the same periods ended December 23, 2023.

Current wording

The increase of $17.0 million in operating, selling, general and administrative (“OSG&A”) expenses for the three months ended June 28, 2025, from the comparable prior year period is primarily due to store closure costs and consulting costs related to the Operational Improvement Plan. The following table shows the impact of these costs on the change in OSG&A expenses for the three months ended June 28, 2025, as compared to the same periods ended June 29, 2024.

Previous wording

Net interest expense of $4.2 million for the three months ended December 28, 2024 decreased $0.8 million as compared to the prior year period, and decreased as a percentage of sales from 1.6 percent to 1.4 percent. Weighted average debt outstanding for the three months ended December 28, 2024 decreased by approximately $59.5 million as compared to the three months ended December 23, 2023. This decrease is primarily related to lower debt outstanding under the Credit Facility as well as lower finance lease debt related to our stores. The weighted average interest rate decreased approximately 23 basis pointsas compared to the same period of the prior year.

Current wording

Net interest expense of $4.8 million for the three months ended June 28, 2025 decreased $0.4 million as compared to the prior year period, and decreased as a percentage of sales from 1.8 percent to 1.6 percent. Weighted average debt outstanding for the three months ended June 28, 2025 decreased by approximately $62.0 million as compared to the three months ended June 29, 2024. This decrease is primarily related to lower debt outstanding under the Credit Facility as well as lower finance lease debt related to our stores. The weighted average interest rate increased approximately 30 basis pointsas compared to the same period of the prior year.

Previous wording

Our effective income tax rate for the three months and nine months ended December 28, 2024 was 21.2 percent and 27.5 percent, respectively, compared with 25.8 percent and 26.7 percent in the comparable prior-year periods. The difference from the statutory rate is primarily due to state taxes and the discrete tax impact related to share-based awards and the audit settlement of certain prior year state income tax returns.

Current wording

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 28, 2025 was 24.8 percent, compared with 28.5 percent in the comparable prior-year period. The year-over-year difference in effective tax rate is primarily related to the discrete tax impact related to share-based awards and other adjustments, none of which are significant.

Previous wording

In addition to reporting net income and diluted EPS, which are GAAP measures, this Form 10-Q includes adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We have included reconciliations to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS from our most directly comparable GAAP measures, net income and diluted EPS, below. Management views these non-GAAP financial measures as indicators to better assess comparability between periods because management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our core business operations while excluding certain non-recurring items, such as costs related to litigation reserve, transition costs related to back-office optimization, store closing costs, closed store impairment charges, shareholder matters from our equity capital structure recapitalization, net loss on subsequent inventory adjustment related to the prior year sale of wholesale tire and distribution assets, and a gain on sale of corporate headquarters net of closing and relocation costs.

Current wording

In addition to reporting operating (loss) income, net (loss) income and diluted (loss) earnings per common share, which are GAAP measures, this Form 10-Q includes adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We have included reconciliations to adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS from our most directly comparable GAAP measures, operating (loss) income, net (loss) income, and diluted (loss) earnings per common share, below. Management views these non-GAAP financial measures as indicators to better assess comparability between periods because management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect our core business operations while excluding certain items that are not part of our core operations, such as store closing costs, consulting costs related to the Operational Improvement Plan, transition costs related to back-office optimization, store impairment charges, corporate headquarters relocation costs and write-off of debt issuance costs.

Previous wording

(a) Amounts, inthe periods presented, may be too minor in amount, net of the impact from income taxes, to have an impact on the calculation of adjusted diluted EPS.

Current wording

(a) Amounts, in the periods presented, may be too minor in amount, net of the impact from income taxes, to have an impact on the calculation of adjusted diluted EPS.

Previous wording

The other adjustments to diluted EPS reflect estimated annual effective income tax rates of 28.4 percent and 25.8 percent for the three months ended December 28, 2024 and December 23, 2023, respectively, and 28.0 percent and 25.6 percent for the nine months ended December 28, 2024 and December 23, 2023, respectively. These estimated annual effective income tax rates exclude the income tax impacts from share-based compensation and the audit settlement of certain prior year state income tax returns. See adjustments from the Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income table above for pre-tax amounts.

Current wording

The other adjustments to diluted EPS reflect estimated annual effective income tax rates of 26.0 percent and 27.2 percent for the three months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024, respectively. This represents the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments calculated at an estimated blended statutory tax rate. See adjustments from the Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income table above for pre-tax amounts.

Previous wording

We expect to continue to generate positive operating cash flow as we have done in each of the last three fiscal years. The cash we generate from our operations will allow us to continue to support business operations as well as invest in opportunities intended to drive long-term sustainable growth, pay down debt, and return cash to our shareholders through our dividend program.

Current wording

As of December 28, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $234.0 million, an increase of $32.1 million from a deficit of $201.9 million as of March 30, 2024. The overall working capital deficit is a result of our supply chain finance program. We have agreed to contractual payment terms and conditions with our suppliers. As part of our working capital management, we facilitate a voluntary supply chain finance program to provide our suppliers with the opportunity to sell receivables due from Monro to a participating financial institution. For details regarding our supply chain finance program, see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements.

Current wording

As of June 28, 2025, we had a working capital deficit of $251.2 million, an increase of $4.3 million from a deficit of $246.9 million as of March 29, 2025.

The non-cash charges were largely driven by $54.4 million of depreciation and amortization, as well as $9.6 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 $17.8 million. Additionally, the change in operating assets and liabilities was also partially due to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net of vendor rebate receivables, being a source of cash of $30.5 million driven by timing of payments. These sources of cash were partially offset by our inventory balance being a use of cash of $12.7 million due to increased inventory purchases.

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. The change in operating assets and liabilities was driven by timing of payments that caused accounts payable to be a use of cash of $21.3 million. This was partially offset by ourinventory being a source of cash of $7.4 millionand accrued expenses being a source of cash of $4.3 million. The non-cash charges were driven by $15.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $1.5 million in loss on disposal of assets and $1.0 million in share-based compensation expense, offset by $2.7 million in deferred income tax expense.

Previous wording

The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due toour 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.

Current wording

For the three months ended June 29, 2024, cash provided by operating activities was $25.6 million, which consisted of net income of $5.9 million, increased by non-cash adjustments of $20.9 million, offset by a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.1 million. The non-cash charges were largely driven by $17.8 million of depreciation and amortization, as well as $1.6 million in deferred income tax expense. The change in operating assets and liabilities was driven by timing of payments, primarily due to accrued expenses and other current assets being a use of cash of $21.2 million, as well as our inventory balance being a use of cash of $8.1 million. These uses of cash were partially offset by our supply chain finance program being a source of cash as we improved our cash flow by $28.3 million.

Previous wording

This was due to cash provided by payments from the disposal of property and equipment, including the proceeds related to the sale of our corporate headquarters, for $12.3 million, and cash provided by the earnout payment from the sale of our wholesale tire locations and distribution assets of $8.5 million, partially offset by cash used for capital expenditures, including property and equipment, of $20.7 million.

Current wording

For the three months ended June 28, 2025, cash used for investing activities was $2.4 million. This was primarily due to cash used for capital expenditures, including property and equipment, of $7.4 million, partially offset by subsequent proceeds from the sale of our wholesale tire locations and distribution assets and proceeds from the disposal of property and equipment of $3.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Previous wording

For the nine months ended December 23, 2023, cash used for investing activities was $0.3 million. This was primarily due to cash used for capital expenditures, including property and equipment, of $18.9 million, partially offset by cash provided by the escrow and earnout payments from the sale of our wholesale tire locations and distribution assets and the disposal of property and equipment of $15.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively.
