Note 1 – Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

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 1,284 Company-operated retail stores located in 32 states and 50 Car-X franchised locations as of June 29, 2024.

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.

Monro’s operations are organized and managed as one single segment designed to offer to 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.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statement presentation. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024.

We use the same significant accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. For a description of our significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, see Note 1 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024.

Due to the seasonal nature of our business, quarterly operating results and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the full year.

Fiscal year

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

Recent accounting pronouncements

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance which requires buyers in a supplier finance program to disclose sufficient qualitative and quantitative information about the program to allow a reader of the financial statements to understand the program’s nature, activity during the period, changes from period to period and the program’s potential magnitude. We retrospectively adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, other than the roll forward information disclosure, which the Company will adopt with our fiscal 2025 annual filing. The adoption of this guidance does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires expanding disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

In December 2023, the FASB issued new accounting guidance 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. Early adoption of this guidance is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

Monro, Inc. Q1 2025 Form 10-Q 8

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES

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

Supplemental information

Property and equipment, net: Property and equipment balances are shown on the Consolidated Balance Sheets net of accumulated depreciation of $449.1 million and $444.9 million as of June 29, 2024 and March 30, 2024, respectively.

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 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. We determined that the related assets met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of June 29, 2024 and March 30, 2024.

On July 3, 2024, we completed the sale of our corporate headquarters. We received proceeds of approximately $9.1 million and will record an immaterial net gain in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.

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 $5 million was held in escrow and subsequently paid in December 2023. The remaining $40 million (“Earnout”) of the total consideration of $102 million is being paid quarterly over approximately three years and is based on our tire purchases from or through ATD pursuant to a distribution and fulfillment agreement with ATD. We received $4.4 million of the Earnout during the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and the remaining $10.9 million of the Earnout outstanding is recorded in Other current assets in our Consolidated Balance sheets as of June 29, 2024. Under a distribution agreement between us and ATD, ATD agreed to supply and sell tires to retail locations we own. After ATD satisfies the Earnout payments, our company-owned retail stores will be 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 will be excluded from the calculation of our requirements for tires. The initial term of the distribution agreement is five years after the completion of the Earnout Period, with automatic 12-month renewal periods thereafter.

See Note 2 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024 for additional information.

Note 3 – Earnings per Common Share

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

Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.19	$	0.28

Weighted average common share equivalents that have an anti-dilutive impact are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share. 

Note 4 – Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 29, 2024, our effective income tax rate was 28.5 percent, compared to 27.6 percent for the three months ended June 24, 2023. The difference from the statutory rate is primarily due to state taxes and the discrete tax impact related to share-based awards.

Note 5 – Fair Value

Long-term debt had a carrying amount that approximates a fair value of $112.0 million as of June 29, 2024, as compared to a carrying amount and a fair value of $102.0 million as of March 30, 2024. The carrying value of our debt approximated its fair value due to the variable interest nature of the debt.

Note 6 – Cash Dividend

We paid dividends of $8.7 million during the three months ended June 29, 2024. The declaration of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, compliance with charter and contractual restrictions, and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant. Our Credit Facility contains covenants that may limit, subject to certain exemptions, our ability to declare dividends and other distributions. For additional information regarding our Credit Facility, see Note 8.

NOTES

Note 7 – Revenues

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

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 may 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.

Revenues	Three Months Ended
(thousands)	June 29, 2024		June 24, 2023
Tires (a)	$	139,215	$	152,128
Maintenance		83,060		92,913
Brakes		41,237		47,598
Steering		24,859		28,363
Exhaust		4,387		5,216
Franchise royalties		424		750
Total	$	293,182	$	326,968

(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 in performing such services, typically 21 to 36 months. The deferred revenue balances at June 29, 2024 and March 30, 2024 were $21.2 million and $21.7 million, respectively, of which $14.9 million and $15.2 million, respectively, are reported in Deferred revenue and $6.3 million and $6.5 million, respectively, are reported in Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Deferral of revenue		5,019
Recognition of revenue		(5,475)
Balance at June 29, 2024	$	21,231

As of June 29, 2024, we expect to recognize $12.3 million of deferred revenue related to road hazard warranty agreements in the remainder of fiscal 2025, $7.1 million of deferred revenue during our fiscal year ending March 28, 2026, and $1.8 million of 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 – Long-term Debt

Credit Facility

In April 2019, we entered into a five-year $600 million revolving credit facility agreement with eight banks (the “Credit Facility”) that includes an accordion feature permitting us to request an increase in availability of up to an additional $250 million. In November 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 Facility. 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. See Note 6 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024 for additional information.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES

We are 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 an amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to our Credit Facility. The Fourth 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 from the first quarter of fiscal 2025 through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 (the “Covenant Relief Period”). We may voluntarily exit the Covenant Relief Period at any time, which would revert the terms of the Credit Facility to the terms existing before the Fourth Amendment, with the exception of the modified definition of “EBITDAR,” described below.

During the Covenant Relief Period, the minimum interest coverage ratio will be reduced from 1.55x to 1.00x to: (a) 1.25x to 1.00x from the first quarter of fiscal 2025 through the first quarter of fiscal 2026; (b) 1.35x to 1.00x from the second quarter of fiscal 2026 through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026; and (c) 1.55x 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 remains at 4.75x to 1.00x, except that, if we completed a qualified acquisition during the Covenant Relief Period, the maximum ratio would increase to 5.00x to 1.00x for a certain 12-month period after the qualified acquisition. In addition, the Fourth Amendment modifies 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 increases 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 0.50x to 0.25x. In addition, during the Covenant Relief Period, we must have minimum liquidity of at least $400 million to declare dividends. We are prohibited from repurchasing our securities during the Covenant Relief Period if there are outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility immediately before or after giving effect to the repurchase. During the Covenant Relief Period, we may acquire stores or other businesses as long as we have minimum liquidity of at least $400 million after completing the acquisition.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants at June 29, 2024.

Except as amended by the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Third Amendment and Fourth Amendment, the remaining terms of the credit agreement remain in full force and effect.

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 at June 29, 2024.

There was $112.0 million outstanding and $457.9 million available under the Credit Facility at June 29, 2024.

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.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES

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.

Note 10 – 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 at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the 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 360 days. We have concluded that the program is a trade payable program and not indicative of a borrowing arrangement.

Our outstanding supplier obligations eligible for advance payment under the program totaled $195.6 million, $167.2 million, and $194.9 million as of June 29, 2024, March 30, 2024, and June 24, 2023, 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.

Note 11 – 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 was no Class C Preferred Stock converted during fiscal 2025 or 2024. The Reclassification Agreement also provides that, during the sunset period, the Class C Holders will have the right to appoint one 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.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Recent Developments

On May 23, 2024, we entered into a Fourth 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 2025 through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. See additional discussion in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.

On July 3, 2024, we completed the sale of our corporate headquarters. We received proceeds of approximately $9.1 million and will record an immaterial net gain in the second quarter of fiscal 2025. See additional discussion in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.

Economic Conditions

The United States economy has experienced higher inflation during fiscal 2024 and into fiscal 2025 and there are market expectations that inflation 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.

Financial Summary

First quarter 2025 included the following notable items:

Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) were $0.19.

Adjusted diluted EPS, a non-GAAP measure, were $0.22.

Sales decreased 10.3 percent, due to lower overall comparable store sales resulting from lower store traffic.

Comparable store sales decreased 9.9 percent, driven primarily by lower tire unit sales.

Operating income of $13.2 million was 23.6 percent lower than the comparable prior-year period.

Net income was $5.9 million.

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $6.9 million.

Earnings Per Common Share	Three Months Ended
	June 29, 2024		June 24, 2023		Change
Diluted EPS	$	0.19	$	0.28	(32.1)	%
Adjustments		0.03		0.03
Adjusted diluted EPS	$	0.22	$	0.31	(29.0)	%

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 shareholder matters from our equity capital structure recapitalization, transition costs related to back-office optimization, store impairment charges, corporate headquarters relocation costs and items related to store closings. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP measures are provided beginning on page 17 under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

We define comparable store sales as sales for locations that have been opened or owned at least one full fiscal year. We believe this period is generally required for new store sales levels to begin to normalize. Management uses comparable store sales to assess the operating performance of the Company’s stores and believes the metric is useful to investors because our overall results are dependent upon the results of our stores. Comparable sales measures vary across the retail industry. Therefore, our comparable store sales calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Sales

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 90 selling days in the three months ended June 29, 2024 and in the three months ended June 24, 2023.

Sales growth – from both comparable store sales and new stores – represents an important driver of our long-term profitability. We expect that comparable store sales growth will significantly impact our total sales growth. We believe that our ability to successfully differentiate our customers’, often referred to as “guests”, experience through a careful combination of merchandise assortment, price strategy, convenience, and other factors will, over the long-term, drive both increasing guest traffic and the average ticket amount spent.

Sales	$	293,182		$	326,968
Dollar change compared to prior year	$	(33,786)
Percentage change compared to prior year		(10.3)	%

The sales decrease was primarily due to a decrease in comparable store sales resulting from lower store traffic. The decrease in comparable store sales is primarily driven by a strained low-to-middle income consumer that disproportionately traded-down to tires at opening price points as the industry worked to clear-through an oversupply of lower-margin tires. This put pressure on overall tire units industry-wide across all regions of the country, leading to weaker store traffic, which was not supportive to sales of our higher-margin service categories. The following table shows the primary drivers of the change in sales for the three months ended June 29, 2024, as compared to the same period ended June 24, 2023.

		June 29, 2024
Sales change		(10.3)	%
Primary drivers of change in sales
Comparable store sales		(9.9)	%

Broad-based inflationary pressures impacting consumers partly led to lower demand in tires and our higher-margin service categories during the three months ended June 29, 2024, as compared to the same period ended June 24, 2023. We expect the inflationary environment to continue to impact our customers throughout the remainder of fiscal 2025.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, increased 220 basis points (“bps”) for the three months ended June 29, 2024 as compared to the prior year comparable period. Technician labor costs, as a percentage of sales, decreased due primarily to improvements in labor productivity and efficiency. Retail material costs, as a percentage of sales, decreased due primarily to improved margins in our service categories. Partially offsetting these cost decreases was an increase in retail occupancy costs, as a percentage of sales, as we lost leverage on these largely fixed costs with lower overall comparable store sales.

Percentage change compared to prior year		(1.1)	%

The decrease of $1.1 million in operating, selling, general and administrative (“OSG&A”) expenses for the three months ended June 29, 2024, from the comparable prior year period is primarily due to a decrease in OSG&A expenses from comparable and closed stores as well as a decrease in costs related to shareholder matters from our equity capital structure recapitalization incurred during the comparable period. Partially offsetting these decreases were increases in costs related to closed store impairment charges. The following table shows the impact of these costs on the change in OSG&A expenses for the three months ended June 29, 2024, as compared to the three months ended June 24, 2023.

Other Performance Factors

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense of $5.1 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024 decreased $0.1 million as compared to the prior year period, and increased as a percentage of sales from 1.6 percent to 1.8 percent. Weighted average debt outstanding for the three months ended June 29, 2024 decreased by approximately $22.0 million as compared to the three months ended June 24, 2023. This decrease is primarily related to lower finance lease debt related to our stores, partially offset by an increase in debt outstanding under the Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate increased approximately 20 basis points from the prior year comparable quarter due to an increase in the Credit Facility’s floating borrowing rates.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 29, 2024 was 28.5 percent, compared with 27.6 percent for the three months ended June 24, 2023. The difference from the statutory rate is primarily due to state taxes and the discrete tax impact related to share-based awards.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 shareholder matters from our equity capital structure recapitalization, transition costs related to back-office optimization, store impairment charges, corporate headquarters relocation costs and items related to store closings.

These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, their most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

Adjusted net income is summarized as follows:

(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.

Note: The calculation of the impact of non-GAAP adjustments on diluted EPS is performed on each line independently. The table may not add down +/- $0.01 due to rounding.

The other adjustments to diluted EPS reflect estimated annual effective income tax rates of 27.2 percent and 25.1 percent for the three months ended June 29, 2024 and June 24, 2023, respectively. These estimated annual effective income tax rates exclude the income tax impacts from share-based compensation. See adjustments from the Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income table above for pre-tax amounts.

Analysis of Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Allocation

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.

In addition, because we believe a large portion of our future expenditures will be to fund our growth, through acquisition of retail stores and/or opening greenfield stores, we continually evaluate our cash needs and may decide it is best to fund the growth of our business through borrowings on our Credit Facility. Conversely, we may also periodically determine that it is in our best interests to voluntarily repay certain indebtedness early.

Future Cash Requirements

We currently expect our capital expenditures to support our projects, including upgrading our facilities and systems, to be $25 million to $35 million in the aggregate in fiscal 2025. Additionally, we have contractual finance lease and operating lease commitments with landlords through October 2040 for $488.0 million in lease payments, of which $95.8 million is due within one year. For details regarding these lease commitments, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.

As of June 29, 2024, we had $112.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, none of which is due in the succeeding 12 months. For details regarding our indebtedness that is due, see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.

Dividends

We paid cash dividends of $0.28 per share totaling $8.7 million and $8.9 million for the three months ended June 29, 2024 and June 24, 2023, respectively.

Working Capital Management

As of June 29, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $190.6 million, a decrease of $11.3 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.

Monro, Inc. Q1 2025 Form 10-Q 18

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Sources and Conditions of Liquidity

Our sources to fund our material cash requirements are predominantly cash from operations, availability under our Credit Facility, and cash and equivalents on hand. 

As of June 29, 2024, we had $18.7 million of cash and equivalents. In addition, we had $457.9 million available under the Credit Facility as of June 29, 2024.

We believe that our current sources of funds will provide us with adequate liquidity during the 12-month period following June 29, 2024, as well as in the long-term.

Summary of Cash Flows

The following table presents a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities.

Summary of Cash Flows	Three Months Ended
(thousands)	June 29, 2024		June 24, 2023
Cash provided by operating activities	$	25,638	$	71,731

Cash and equivalents at beginning of period		6,561		4,884
Cash and equivalents at end of period	$	18,665	$	15,316

Cash provided by operating activities

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.

For the three months ended June 24, 2023, cash provided by operating activities was $71.7 million, which consisted of net income of $8.8 million, increased by non-cash adjustments of $19.9 million and a net change in operating assets and liabilities of $43.0 million. The non-cash charges were largely driven by $18.4 million of depreciation and amortization, as well as $1.9 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 $24.5 million. Additionally, the change in operating assets and liabilities was driven by timing of payments partially due to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net of vendor rebate receivables, being a source of cash of $12.3 million, as well as our inventory balance being a source of cash of $6.3 million.

Cash used for investing activities

For the three months ended June 29, 2024, cash used for investing activities was $4.2 million. This was primarily due to cash used for capital expenditures, including property and equipment, of $8.9 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 $4.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

For the three months ended June 24, 2023, cash used for investing activities was $2.6 million. This was primarily due to cash used for capital expenditures, including property and equipment, of $7.7 million, partially offset by cash provided by subsequent proceeds from the sale of our wholesale tire locations and distribution assets and proceeds from the disposal of property and equipment of $3.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Cash used for financing activities

For the three months ended June 29, 2024, cash used for financing activities was $9.3 million. This was primarily due to payment of finance lease principal and dividends of $9.9 million and $8.7 million, respectively, as well as deferred financing costs of $0.7 million. These were offset by amounts borrowed on our Credit Facility, net of payments made during the period, of $10.0 million.

Monro, Inc. Q1 2025 Form 10-Q 19

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the three months ended June 24, 2023, cash used for financing activities was $58.7 million. This was primarily due to payment on our Credit Facility, net of amounts borrowed during the period, of $40.0 million, as well as payment of finance lease principal and dividends of $9.8 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, and related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience, as appropriate, and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows may be affected.

For a description of our critical accounting estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7., “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Form 10-K for the year ended March 30, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the impact of recently issued accounting standards on our consolidated financial statements as of June 29, 2024 and the expected impact on the consolidated financial statements for future periods.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as that term is used in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they address future events, developments, and results and do not relate strictly to historical facts. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements preceded by, followed by, or including words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “should,” “strategy,” “will,” “would” and variations thereof and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed. For example, our forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding:

l	the impact of competitive services and pricing;
l	the effect of economic conditions and geopolitical uncertainty, seasonality, and the impact of weather conditions and natural disasters on customer demand;
l	advances in automotive technologies including adoption of electronic vehicle technology;
l	our dependence on third-party vendors for certain inventory;
l	the risks associated with vendor relationships and international trade, particularly imported goods such as those sourced from China;
l	the impact of changes in U.S. trade relations and the ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China, and other potential impediments to imports;
l	our ability to service our debt obligations, including our expected annual interest expense, and to comply with the debt covenants of our Credit Facility;
l	our cash needs, including our ability to fund our future capital expenditures and working capital requirements;
l	our anticipated sales, comparable store sales, gross profit margin, costs of goods sold (including product mix), OSG&A expenses and other fixed costs, and our ability to leverage those costs;
l	management’s estimates and expectations as they relate to income tax liabilities, deferred income taxes, and uncertain tax positions;
l	management’s estimates associated with our critical accounting policies, including business combinations, insurance liabilities, and valuations for our long-lived assets impairment analyses;
l	the impact of industry regulation, including changes in environmental, consumer protection, and labor laws;

Monro, Inc. Q1 2025 Form 10-Q 20

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

l	potential outcomes related to pending or future litigation matters;
l	business interruptions;
l	risks relating to disruption or unauthorized access to our computer systems;
l	our failure to protect customer and employee personal data;
l	risks relating to acquisitions and the integration of acquired businesses with ours;
l	our growth plans, including our plans to add, renovate, re-brand, expand, remodel, relocate, or close stores and any related costs or charges, our leasing strategy for future expansion, and our ability to renew leases at existing store locations;
l	the impact of costs related to planned store closings or potential impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets;
l	expected dividend payments;
l	our ability to protect our brands and our reputation;
l	our ability to attract, motivate, and retain skilled field personnel and our key executives; and
l	the potential impacts of climate change on our business.

Any of these factors, as well as such other factors as discussed in Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 30, 2024, as well as in our periodic filings with the SEC, could cause our actual results to differ materially from our anticipated results. The information provided in this report is based upon the facts and circumstances known as of the date of this report, and any forward-looking statements made by us in this report speak only as of the date on which they are made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after such date, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK & CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from potential changes in interest rates. As of June 29, 2024, excluding finance leases and financing obligations, we had no debt financing at fixed interest rates, for which the fair value would be affected by changes in market interest rates. Our cash flow exposure on floating rate debt would result in annual interest expense fluctuations of approximately $1.1 million based upon our debt position at June 29, 2024 and approximately $1.0 million based upon our debt position at March 30, 2024, given a change in SOFR of 100 basis points.

Debt financing had a carrying amount that approximates a fair value of $112.0 million as of June 29, 2024, as compared to a carrying amount and a fair value of $102.0 million as of March 30, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit to the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In conjunction with the close of each fiscal quarter and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer), we conduct an update, a review and an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. It is the conclusion of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based upon an evaluation completed as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter reported on herein, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 29, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
