CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTES

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 1,299 Company-operated retail stores located in 32 states and 76 franchised locations as of June 24, 2023.

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 25, 2023.

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 25, 2023.

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 2024 covers 53 weeks and fiscal year 2023 covers 52 weeks. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, any references to “2024” or “fiscal 2024” and “2023” or “fiscal 2023” relate to the years ending March 30, 2024 and March 25, 2023, respectively.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance which requires certain disclosure for supplier finance programs used in connection with the purchase of goods and services. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2024, other than the roll forward information disclosure which we expect to adopt during the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 29, 2025. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires an acquiring entity to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination as if they entered into the original contract at the same time and same date as the acquiree. We adopted this guidance during the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 $434.0 million and $426.7 million as of June 24, 2023 and March 25, 2023, respectively.

Note 2 – Acquisitions and Divestitures

Acquisitions

Monro’s acquisitions are strategic moves in our plan to fill in and expand our presence in our existing and contiguous markets, expand into new markets and leverage fixed operating costs such as distribution, advertising, and administration.

During 2023, we acquired six retail tire and automotive repair stores. We accounted for the 2023 acquisitions as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” See Note 2 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 25, 2023 for additional information.

We continue to refine the valuation data and estimates primarily related to inventory, warranty reserves, intangible assets, real property leases, and certain liabilities for the 2023 acquisitions and expect to complete the valuations no later than the first anniversary date of the acquisition. We anticipate that adjustments will continue to be made to the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

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 is currently being held in escrow. The remaining $40 million (“Earnout”) of the total consideration of $102 million will be paid quarterly over approximately two years based on our tire purchases from or through ATD pursuant to a distribution and fulfillment agreement with ATD. We received $3.9 million of the Earnout during the first quarter of fiscal 2024 and $27.4 million of the Earnout is outstanding as of June 24, 2023. 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. The divestiture enables us to focus our resources on our core retail business operations. In connection with this transaction, we recognized a pre-tax gain of $2.4 million within OSG&A expenses that was recorded during the three months ended June 24, 2023. We also expensed $1.2 million of closing costs and costs associated with the closing of a related warehouse within OSG&A expenses during the three months ended June 24, 2023. We finalized the impact of these associated closing costs in addition to the subsequent gain on the sale of related warehouses, as well as costs in connection with restructuring and elimination of certain management positions upon completion of the divestiture, during the remainder of fiscal 2023. See Note 2 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 25, 2023 for additional information. The divestiture did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements as our decision to divest this business did not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. For additional information regarding discrete tax impacts because of the divestiture, see Note 4.

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.

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 24, 2023, our effective income tax rate was 27.6 percent, compared to 39.6 percent for the three months ended June 25, 2022. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 25, 2022 was higher by 12.8 percent because of discrete tax impacts from the divestiture of assets relating to our wholesale tire operations and internal tire distribution operations as well as the revaluation of deferred tax balances due to changes in the mix of pre-tax income in various U.S. state jurisdictions because of the divestiture. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 24, 2023 and June 25, 2022 was higher by 1.1 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively, due to 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 $65.0 million as of June 24, 2023, as compared to a carrying amount and a fair value of $105.0 million as of March 25, 2023. 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 $8.9 million during the three months ended June 24, 2023. 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. Under our Credit Facility, there are no restrictions on our ability to declare dividends as long as we are in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Facility. For additional information regarding our Credit Facility, see Note 8.

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 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 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.

Total	$	326,968	$	349,535

(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 24, 2023 and March 25, 2023 were $22.3 million and $22.4 million, respectively, of which $15.5 million and $15.4 million, respectively, are reported in Deferred revenue and $6.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively, are reported in Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 24, 2023, we expect to recognize $12.8 million of deferred revenue related to road hazard warranty agreements in the remainder of fiscal 2024, $7.6 million of deferred revenue during our fiscal year ending March 29, 2025, and $1.9 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”). 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 the fiscal year ended March 26, 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 if we were in compliance with the financial covenants and other restrictions in the First Amendment and Credit Facility. As of July 1, 2021, the ability of our Board of Directors to declare, make or pay any dividend or distribution and our ability to acquire stores or other businesses is no longer restricted by the terms of the Credit Facility, as amended by the First Amendment. 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.

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. Except as amended by the First Amendment, Second Amendment and Third 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 24, 2023.

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.

We were in compliance with all debt covenants at June 24, 2023.

There was $65.0 million outstanding and $504.9 million available under the Credit Facility at June 24, 2023.

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.

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 $194.9 million, $167.3 million, and $42.3 million as of June 24, 2023, March 25, 2023, and June 25, 2022, 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 – Share Repurchase

We periodically repurchase shares of our common stock under a board-authorized repurchase program through open market transactions. We did not repurchase any of our shares during the three months ended June 24, 2023.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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

Recent Developments

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”) in support of our plan to reclassify our equity capital structure to eliminate the Class C Preferred Stock, subject to shareholder approval.

The Reclassification Agreement provides that, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we will file 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. For a description of the sunset date, see the Form 8-K filed on May 18, 2023. In exchange for this sunset of the Class C Preferred Stock, the conversion rate of Class C Preferred Stock will be 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 current 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. 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.

Economic Conditions

The United States economy has experienced higher inflation during fiscal 2023 and into fiscal 2024 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. The U.S. Federal Reserve Board also has increased interest rates during fiscal 2023 and into fiscal 2024 and additional interest rate increases may occur in the coming months. 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, and increasing interest rates will result in an economic slowdown or recession in the United States. If that occurs, demand for our products and services may decline, possibly significantly, which may significantly and adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial position.

Financial Summary

First quarter 2024 included the following notable items:

Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) were $0.28.

Adjusted diluted EPS, a non-GAAP measure, were $0.31.

Sales decreased 6.5 percent, due to lower overall tire sales because of the sale of our wholesale tire operations in June 2022.

Comparable store sales increased 0.5 percent, including an approximately one percent comparable store sales increase in approximately 300 of our small or underperforming stores.

Operating income of $17.3 million was 33.9 percent lower than the comparable prior-year period, driven primarily by a decrease in gross profit.

Net income was $8.8 million.

Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $9.9 million.


Earnings Per Common Share	Three Months Ended

Adjustments		0.03		0.05
Adjusted diluted EPS	$	0.31	$	0.42	(26.2)	%

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 planned equity capital structure recapitalization, transition costs related to back-office optimization, and items related to store closings, as well as acquisition initiatives. 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

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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 24, 2023 and in the three months ended June 25, 2022.

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	$	326,968		$	349,535
Dollar change compared to prior year	$	(22,567)
Percentage change compared to prior year		(6.5)	%

The sales decrease was due to a decrease in sales from closed stores, driven by the sale of our wholesale tire operations in June 2022. The decrease in sales during the three months ended June 24, 2023 from the prior year comparable period for the wholesale locations were approximately $23.9 million. This was partially offset by an increase in comparable store sales from an increase in average ticket amount across product categories and price points, including a comparable store sales increase in approximately 300 of our small or underperforming stores, and an increase in sales from new stores. The following table shows the primary drivers of the change in sales for the three months ended June 24, 2023, as compared to the same period ended June 25, 2022.

(a)The change in closed stores is primarily due to sales from the wholesale locations sold to American Tire Distributors (“ATD”).

(b)On a comparable store sales basis, comparable store sales at our retail locations increased by 0.8 percent.

(c)Sales from the fiscal 2023 acquisitions primarily represent the change.

Broad-based inflationary pressures impacting consumers partly led to lower demand in some of our key service categories during the three months ended June 24, 2023 and June 25, 2022, respectively. We expect the inflationary environment to continue to impact our customers throughout the remainder of fiscal 2024.

Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, was relatively flat for the three months ended June 24, 2023, as compared to the prior year comparable period. Retail material costs, as a percentage of sales, increased due to the inflationary impact on material costs. Additionally, technician labor costs, as a percentage of sales, increased due to the impact from wage inflation and incremental investment in technician labor costs. Offsetting these increases was the impact from our wholesale operations which were sold during June 2022. Additionally, there was a decrease in distribution and occupancy costs, as a percentage of sales, as we gained leverage on these largely fixed costs with higher overall comparable store sales.

Table of Contents

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The increase of $1.1 million in OSG&A expenses for the three months ended June 24, 2023 from the comparable prior year period is partially due to an increase in costs related to shareholder matters from our planned equity capital structure recapitalization and transition costs related to back-office optimization, as well as an increase in expenses from new stores. The increase in OSG&A expenses for the three months ended June 24, 2023 is also partially due to the gain on the sale of our wholesale tire locations and distribution assets, net of closing costs and costs associated with the closing of a related warehouse related to our divestiture during the comparable prior year period. Partially offsetting these increases were lower expenses from closed stores as well as decreased expenses from comparable stores.

Other Performance Factors

Net Interest Expense

Net interest expense of $5.2 million for the three months ended June 24, 2023 decreased $0.5 million as compared to the prior year period, and remained relatively flat as a percentage of sales at 1.6 percent. Weighted average debt outstanding for the three months ended June 24, 2023 decreased by approximately $148 million as compared to the three months ended June 25, 2022. This decrease is primarily related to a decrease in debt outstanding under the Credit Facility. The weighted average interest rate increased approximately 100 basis points from the prior year comparable quarter due primarily 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 24, 2023 was 27.6 percent, compared to 39.6 percent for the three months ended June 25, 2022. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 25, 2022 was higher by 12.8 percent because of discrete tax impacts from the divestiture of assets relating to our wholesale tire operations and internal tire distribution operations as well as the revaluation of deferred tax balances due to changes in the mix of pre-tax income in various U.S. state jurisdictions because of the divestiture. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 24, 2023 and June 25, 2022 was higher by 1.1 percent and 0.8 percent, respectively, due to 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 planned equity capital structure recapitalization, transition costs related to back-office optimization, and items related to store closings, as well as acquisition initiatives.

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.

(b)Certain discrete tax items related to the sale of our wholesale tire locations and distribution assets as well as the revaluation of deferred tax balances due to changes in the mix of pre-tax income in various U.S. state jurisdictions because of the sale.

In the Reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income, we determined the Provision for income taxes on pre-tax adjustments by calculating our estimated annual effective income tax rate on pre-tax income before giving effect to any discrete tax items and applying it to the pre-tax adjustments.

Adjusted diluted EPS 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.

The certain discrete tax items for the three months ended June 25, 2022 are tax affected. The other adjustments to diluted EPS reflect estimated annual effective income tax rates of 25.1 percent and 25.0 percent for the three months ended June 24, 2023 and June 25, 2022, respectively. These estimated annual effective income tax rates exclude the income tax impacts from share-based compensation and for the three months ended June 25, 2022 exclude certain discrete tax items. 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 attractive acquisition opportunities intended to drive long-term sustainable growth, pay down debt, return cash to our shareholders through our dividend program and repurchase shares of our common stock under our common stock repurchase 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.

Monro, Inc. Q1 2024 Form 10-Q

Table of Contents

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Future Cash Requirements

We currently expect our capital expenditures to support our projects, including upgrading our facilities and systems, to be $35 million to $45 million in the aggregate in 2024. Additionally, we have contractual finance lease and operating lease commitments with landlords through October 2040 for $521.4 million in lease payments, of which $97.7 million is due within one year. For details regarding these lease commitments, see Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements.

As of June 24, 2023, we had $65.0 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 $8.9 million and $9.5 million in both the three months ended June 24, 2023 and June 25, 2022, respectively. We have paid dividends quarterly since fiscal 2006 and it is our intent to continue to do so in the future.

Share Repurchases

We did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended June 24, 2023. For details regarding our share repurchase program, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements.

Working Capital Management

As of June 24, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $230.1 million, an increase from $39.4 million as of March 25, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in accounts payable as a result of certain suppliers that participate in 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.

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 24, 2023, we had $15.3 million of cash and equivalents. In addition, we had $504.9 million available under the Credit Facility as of June 24, 2023.

We believe that our current sources of funds will provide us with adequate liquidity during the 12-month period following June 24, 2023, as well as in the long-term.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Cash provided by operating activities

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, adjusted by non-cash charges of $19.9 million and by a 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. 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 also partially due to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net of vendor rebate receivables, being a source of cash of $12.3 million driven by timing of payments as well as our inventory balance being a source of cash of $6.3 million due to decreased inventory purchases.

For the three months ended June 25, 2022, cash provided by operating activities was $77.2 million, which consisted of net income of $12.5 million, adjusted by non-cash charges of $15.8 million and by a change in operating assets and liabilities of $48.9 million. The non-cash charges were largely driven by $20.1 million of depreciation and amortization, partially offset by deferred income taxes of $3.4 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to accounts payable and accrued liabilities, net of vendor rebate receivables, being a source of cash of $33.7 million driven by timing of payments as well as our supply chain finance program being a source of cash as we improved our cash flow by $16.2 million.

Cash used for / provided by investing activities

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 the sale of our wholesale tire locations and distribution assets and the disposal of property and equipment of $3.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

For the three months ended June 25, 2022, cash provided by investing activities was $48.9 million. This was primarily due to cash from the sale of our wholesale tire and tire distribution assets for $56.6 million, partially offset by cash used for capital expenditures, including property and equipment, of $8.2 million.

Cash used for financing activities

For the three months ended June 24, 2023, cash used for financing activities was $58.7 million which 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.

For the three months ended June 25, 2022, cash used for financing activities was $103.4 million which was primarily due to payment on our Credit Facility, net of amounts borrowed during the period, of $66.5 million, as well as payment of finance lease principal and dividends of $10.2 million and $9.5 million, respectively. Also, we used $17.2 million to repurchase common stock during the period.

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 25, 2023. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates since our Form 10-K for the year ended March 25, 2023.

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 24, 2023 and the expected impact on the consolidated financial statements for future periods.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

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,” “could,” “design,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “invest,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “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, 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;
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;
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 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 25, 2023, 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 24, 2023, 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 $0.7 million based upon our debt position at June 24, 2023 and approximately $1.1 million based upon our debt position at March 25, 2023, given a change in SOFR of 100 basis points.

Debt financing had a carrying amount that approximates a fair value of $65.0 million as of June 24, 2023, as compared to a carrying amount and a fair value of $105.0 million as of March 25, 2023.

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 24, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
