The consolidated balance sheets as of December 28, 2019 and March 30, 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and changes in shareholders’ equity for the quarters and nine months ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, include financial information for Monro, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Monro Service Corporation; Car-X, LLC; MNRO Holdings, LLC and MNRO Service Holdings, LLC (collectively, “Monro,” “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company”). These unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Monro. We believe all known adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals or adjustments) have been made to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the unaudited periods presented.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2019.

We report our results on a 52/53 week fiscal year with the fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in March of each year. The following are the dates represented by each fiscal period reported in these condensed financial statements:


“Quarter Ended Fiscal December 2019”	September 29, 2019 – December 28, 2019 (13 weeks)
“Quarter Ended Fiscal December 2018”	September 30, 2018 – December 29, 2018 (13 weeks)
“Nine Months Ended Fiscal December 2019”	March 31, 2019 – December 28, 2019 (39 weeks)
“Nine Months Ended Fiscal December 2018”	April 1, 2018 – December 29, 2018 (39 weeks)

Monro’s operations are organized and managed in one operating segment. The internal management financial reporting that is the basis for evaluation in order to assess performance and allocate resources by our chief operating decision maker consists of consolidated data that includes the results of our retail, commercial and wholesale locations. As such, our one 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.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to leases. This guidance establishes a right of use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted this standard as of March 31, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and elected the optional transition relief amendment that allows for a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption and did not restate prior periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification and provided relief from reviewing existing contracts to determine if they contain leases. We did not elect to use hindsight in determining the lease term.

The adoption of this guidance resulted in a $165.3 million increase to total assets and a $165.9 million increase to total liabilities as of March 31, 2019. The Company recognized $186.9 million of operating lease ROU assets, $174.4 million of operating lease obligations, and a $0.7 million finance lease asset and liability related to embedded leases. The difference between the operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities primarily represents the existing favorable lease intangibles of $19.6 million and unfavorable lease intangibles and deferred rent accruals of $7.2 million resulting from historical operating lease accounting. These were reclassified as operating ROU assets upon adoption. In addition, we recognized $8.4 million and $16.6 million of finance lease assets and liabilities, respectively, and removed $11.1 million and $18.6 million of assets and liabilities related to financial obligations connected with the construction of leased stores that are no longer considered a failed sale leaseback. As a result of using the modified retrospective approach, the adoption resulted in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings, net of tax, of approximately $0.6 million. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income or Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. At adoption, we reclassified prior year capital lease and financing obligation assets from the Net property, plant and equipment line to the Finance lease and financing obligation assets, net line of our Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 8 for additional lease disclosures.

In June 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that amends the accounting for nonemployee share-based awards. Under the new guidance, the existing guidance related to the accounting for employee share-based awards will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions, with certain exceptions. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption was permitted. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued new accounting guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 Income Taxes and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the Accounting Standards Codification) and the Securities and Exchange Commission did not, or are not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2019, we entered into a new five year $600 million revolving credit facility agreement with eight banks (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility amended and restated our previous revolving credit facility which would have expired in January 2021. 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 bears interest at 75 to 200 basis points over LIBOR (or replacement index) or at the prime rate, depending on the type of borrowing and the rates then in effect. The Credit Facility requires fees payable quarterly throughout the term between 0.125% and 0.35% of the amount of the average net availability under the Credit Facility during the preceding quarter.

Within the Credit Facility, we have a sub-facility of $80 million available for the purpose of issuing standby letters of credit. The line 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.

Specific terms of the Credit Facility permit the payment of cash dividends (with certain limitations), and permit mortgages and specific lease financing arrangements with other parties (with certain limitations). Other specific terms and the maintenance of specified ratios are generally consistent with our prior financing agreement. 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.

As of the date of this report, other than changes related to adoption of the new lease accounting standard as described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, there were no material changes to our commitments and contingencies outside those related to business acquisitions since March 30, 2019, as reported in our Form 10-K.
