Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and, in each case, their negative or other various or comparable terminology. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management, and expected market growth are forward-looking statements. In particular, forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to: (i) our strategy, outlook and growth prospects; (ii) our operational and financial targets and dividend policy; (iii) general economic trends and trends in the industry and markets; and (iv) the competitive environment in which we operate. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but instead represent our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risk factors that are described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2020, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available on its website at www.sec.gov.

Forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or review publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1—Description of Business

Description of Business

Driven Brands Holdings Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), is a Delaware corporation and is the parent holding company of Driven Brands, Inc. and Shine Holdco (UK) Limited (collectively, “Driven Brands”). Driven Brands is the largest automotive services company in North America with a growing and highly-franchised base of more than ~~4,200~~4,300 franchised, independently-operated, and company-operated locations across 49 U.S. states and 14 other countries. The Company has a portfolio of highly recognized brands, including Take 5 Oil Change®, Meineke Car Care Centers®, MAACO®, CARSTAR®, and 1-800-Radiator & A/C® that compete in the automotive services industry. Approximately 82% of the Company’s locations are franchised or independently-operated.

Initial Public Offering

On January 14, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of approximately 32 million shares of common stock at $22 per share. On February 10, 2021, the Company’s underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase approximately 5 million additional shares of common stock. The Company received total proceeds of $761 million from these transactions, net of the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The Company used the proceeds from the IPO, along with cash on hand, to fully repay the First Lien Term Loan, Second Lien Term Loan, and revolving credit facility assumed as part of the acquisition of International Car Wash Group (“ICWG”) in 2020 (collectively, the “Car Wash Senior Credit Facilities”), which totaled $725 million with interest and fees. The Company recognized a ~~$45~~$46 million loss on debt extinguishment related to this settlement, primarily related to the write-off of unamortized discount. The Company cancelled the interest rate and cross currency swaps associated with these debt agreements as part of the settlement. The Company also used $43 million in proceeds to purchase approximately 2 million shares of common stock from certain of our existing shareholders.

Income Tax Receivable Agreement

The Company expects to be able to utilize certain tax benefits which are related to periods prior to the effective date of the Company’s IPO and are attributed to current and former shareholders. The Company previously entered into an income tax receivable agreement which provides our pre-IPO shareholders with the right to receive payment of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. and Canadian federal, state, local and provincial income tax that the Company will actually realize. The income tax receivable agreement is effective as of the date of the Company’s IPO, and the Company has recorded a liability of $156 million as of ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, which is recorded under long-term liabilities as the income tax receivable liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Stock Split

On January 14, 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation (the "Amendment") to effect an implied 88,990-for-one stock split of shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In addition, the Amendment increased the number of authorized shares of the Company's stock from 10,000 shares to 1 billion shares (900 million shares of common stock and 100 million shares of preferred stock). All share and per-share data in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the stock split for all periods presented. The Company does not have any shares of preferred stock outstanding.

Note 2— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Fiscal Year

The Company operates and reports financial information on a 52- or 53-week year with the fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December and fiscal quarters ending on the 13th Saturday of each quarter (or 14th Saturday when applicable with respect to the fourth fiscal quarter). The three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, ~~respectively,~~each consist of 13 ~~weeks.~~

and 26 weeks, respectively.

In August 2020, the Company acquired ICWG, which is currently consolidated based on a calendar month that ended on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. See Note 3 for additional discussion regarding the acquisition of ICWG.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations, balance sheet, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for the periods presented have been reflected. The adjustments include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain amounts in the 2020 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2021 presentation. In the Company's consolidated statements of operations, $1 million and $2 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2020, respectively, of franchise royalties and fees within the Platform Services segment has been reclassified to supply and other revenue to conform to the current year presentation.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 26, 2020. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 may not be indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the year ending December 25, 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of the Company’s management. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in its evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate future information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods.

Deferred IPO costs

Costs incurred that are directly related to the IPO, such as legal and accounting fees, registration fees, printing expenses, and other similar fees and expenses, totaling $9 million were capitalized and included within prepaid and other assets as of December 26, 2020. Upon completion of the IPO, the Company reclassified these costs, as well as an additional $6 million of IPO costs incurred during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, to additional paid-in-capital.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are categorized, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Observable market data, when available, is required to be used in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity as the ability to access at the measurement date;

•Level 2: Inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; or

•Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and December 26, 2020 are summarized as follows:


Items Measured at Fair Value at March 27, 2021

The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments are derived from valuation models, which use observable inputs such as quoted market prices, interest rates and forward yield curves.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of total long-term debt were as follows:

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and improve consistency by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The Company adopted the ASU on December 27, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—~~Business Combinations~~Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company strategically acquires companies in order to increase its footprint and offer products and services that diversify its existing offerings. These acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method, whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition.

2021 Acquisitions

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, the Company completed 13 acquisitions in the ~~acquisition of 4~~Car Wash segment, representing 30 car wash sites, each individually immaterial ~~which are included within the Company’s Car Wash segment~~ (the “2021 Car Wash Acquisitions”). The aggregate cash consideration paid for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired and liabilities assumed, was ~~$26~~approximately $200 million.

A preliminary estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2021 Car Wash Acquisitions is as follows:


(in thousands)

The Company also subleases certain facilities to franchisees and recognized $2 million, $4 million, $1 million, and $3 million in sublease revenue during ~~each of~~ the three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, respectively, as a component of supply and other revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

~~In March~~During the six months ended June 26, 2021, the Company sold 1113 car wash properties in various locations throughout the United States for a total of ~~$41~~$49 million, resulting in a net gain of $2 million. Concurrently with the closing of these sales, the Company entered into various operating lease agreements pursuant to which the Company leased back the properties. These lease agreements have terms ranging from 17 to 20 years and provide the Company with the option to extend the lease for up to 20 additional years. The Company does not include option periods in its determination of the lease term unless renewals are deemed reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liability of ~~$40~~$47 million and ~~$37~~$44 million, respectively, related to these lease arrangements.

1820

The weighted average remaining lease term as of ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 was ~~11.0~~10.8 years for finance leases and 14.9 years for operating leases. The weighted average discount rate as of ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 was ~~5.79%~~5.81% for finance leases and 4.82% for operating leases.

Supplemental cash flow information related to the Company’s lease arrangements for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, respectively, was as follows:

Note 8—Share-based Compensation

On January 6, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and effective January 14, 2021, the Company’s shareholders adopted and approved the Plan. The Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, other cash-based awards or any combination of the foregoing to current and prospective employees and directors of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company and its affiliates. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 12,533,984 shares. In conjunction with the closing of the IPO, our Board granted awards under the Plan to certain of our employees, representing an aggregate of 5,582,522 shares of common stock. At ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, ~~6,853,489~~6,995,134 shares of common stock were reserved for additional grants under the Plan.

Prior to IPO, the Parent’s equity awards included Profits Interest Units. There were two forms of Profits Interest - Time Units and Performance Units. Time Units generally vested in 5 installments of 20% on each of the first five anniversaries of the grant date or vesting date, provided that the employee remained in continuous service on each vesting date. All outstanding Time Units were to vest immediately prior to the effective date of a consummated sale transaction. The Time Units were exchanged for time-based restricted stock awards in connection with the IPO. In addition, the Company granted time-based and performance-based options in connection with the IPO to most employees with Profit Interests (each an “IPO Option”). The time-based restricted stock awards did not require modification accounting.

The Performance Units were to vest immediately prior to the effective date of a consummated sale transaction or qualified public offering, including the IPO (a “Liquidity Event”). The percentage of vesting was based on achieving certain performance criteria. No vesting occurred as a result of the IPO as the minimum performance criteria threshold was not achieved. In connection with the IPO, the Performance Units were exchanged for performance-based restricted stock awards. The vesting conditions of the performance-based restricted stock awards were modified to vest subject to an additional performance condition. Employees who received IPO Options have the same vesting conditions for the performance-based portion of the IPO Options as the performance-based restricted stock awards.

The Company calculated the fair value of these performance-based restricted stock awards on the modification date and determined the fair value of these awards increased to $66 million as a result of modification. In addition, the grant date fair value of the performance-based IPO Options was $26 million. The fair value of the performance-based restricted stock awards and performance-based IPO Options was determined by using a Monte Carlo simulation, using the following assumptions: (i) an expected term of ~~2.96~~4.96 years, (ii) an expected volatility of 40.6%, (iii) a risk-free interest rate of 0.48%, and (iv) no expected dividends.

1921

There was approximately $7$6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the time-based restricted stock awards and time-based IPO Options at ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of ~~4.34~~3.60 years. For the three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, ~~respectively,~~ less than $1 million of compensation expense was recognized in both periods for the time-based restricted stock awards and time-based IPO Options.

There was approximately ~~$92~~$91 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the performance-based restricted stock awards and performance-based IPO Options at ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021. For the three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, no compensation cost was recognized for the performance-based restricted stock awards and performance-based IPO Options given that none of the performance criteria were met or probable. Once the performance conditions are deemed probable, the Company will recognize compensation cost equal to the portion of the requisite service period that has elapsed. Certain former employees continued to hold performance-based awards after the IPO.

The Company established other new awards in connection with the IPO, including restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). Awards established in connection with the IPO may only vest provided that the employee remains in continuous service on each vesting date. The RSUs vest in 3 installments of 33% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. The PSUs may vest after a three-year period and are contingent on achieving certain performance goals, one being a market condition and the other being a performance condition. The awards are considered probable of meeting vesting requirements or vest upon achieving a market condition, and therefore, have started recognizing expense. The fair value of the PSUs was determined by using a Monte Carlo simulation, using the following assumptions: (i) an expected term of 2.96 years, (ii) an expected volatility of 41.16%, (iii) a risk-free interest rate of 0.23%, and (iv) no expected dividend.

At ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, there was approximately $1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of ~~2.94~~2.56 years, and there was approximately $3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested PSUs, which is expected to be recognized through December 30, 2023.

For all of the Company’s awards, excluding RSUs and PSUs, if the grantee’s continuous service terminates for any reason, the grantee shall forfeit all right, title, and interest in and to any unvested units as of the date of such termination, unless the grantee’s continuous service period is terminated by the Company without cause within the six-month period prior to the date of consummation of a Liquidity Event. In addition, the grantee shall forfeit all right, title, and interest in and to any vested units if the grantee resigns, is terminated for cause, breaches any post-termination covenants, or for failing to execute any general release required to be executed. For RSUs and PSUs, if the grantee’s continuous service terminates for any reason, the grantee shall forfeit all right, title, and interest in any unvested units as of the termination date.

On January 6, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and effective January 14, 2021, the Company’s shareholders adopted and approved the ESPP. The ESPP provides employees of the Company with an opportunity to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount, subject to certain limitations set forth in the ESPP. The ESPP authorized the issuance of 1,790,569 shares of the Company’s common stock. The initial offering period is one year. As of ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, there were 0 shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP.

On March 22, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "International ESPP") that provides employees of certain designated subsidiaries of the Company with an opportunity to purchase the Company's common stock at a discount, subject to certain limitations set forth in the International ESPP. The shares available under the International ESPP are subject to available shares under the ESPP.

The Company recorded $1 million and $2 million of share-based compensation expense during the three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, respectively, within selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020 was ~~immaterial.~~less than $1 million in each period.

Basic ~~loss~~earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net ~~loss~~income (loss) attributable to Driven Brands Holdings Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because the Company reported a net loss for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 27, ~~2021 and March 28,~~ 2020, the number of shares used to calculate diluted loss per share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic loss per share because the potentially dilutive shares, if any, would have been antidilutive if included. In addition, the ~~Company has~~Company’s participating securities are related to certain restricted stock awards issued to Section 16 officers which include non-forfeitable dividend ~~rights, which were not included in the basic or diluted loss per share calculations given the Section 16 officers do not share in the losses of the Company.~~rights.

Note 10—Related-Party Transactions

The Company had management advisory services agreements with Roark Capital Management, LLC (“Roark”), an affiliated entity, which provided that the Company pay an annual advisory services fee to Roark. The Company and Roark terminated all advisory services agreements in January 2021 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. The Company paid $1 million under these service agreements during both the three and six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020.

As of March 27, 2021, the Company has made payments for facilities maintenance services in the aggregate amount of approximately $0.5 million to Divisions Maintenance Group, an entity owned by affiliates of Roark Capital Management, LLC, which is related to the company’s principal stockholders (Driven Equity LLC and RC IV Cayman ICW Holdings LLC). The transactions were reviewed, ratified, and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors in accordance with the Company’s Related Person Transactions Policy.

Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various lawsuits, administrative proceedings, audits, and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these lawsuits purport to be class actions and/or seek substantial damages. The Company is required to record an accrual for litigation loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Legal fees and expenses associated with the defense of litigation are expensed as incurred.

While the Company does not presently believe that any of the legal proceedings to which it is currently a party will ultimately have a material adverse impact, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in all of the proceedings or that the Company will not incur material losses from them.

Note 12—Subsequent Events

On July 14, 2021, the Company acquired 18 Frank’s Car Wash Express car wash sites. The aggregate cash consideration paid for this acquisition, net of cash acquired and liabilities assumed, was $106 million. The initial accounting for this acquisition is incomplete, and therefore the Company is unable to disclose certain information required by ASC 805 Business Combinations, including the provisional amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and goodwill.

During July 2021, the Company drew an incremental $123 million on the Revolving Credit Facility, consisting of draws totaling $173 million and repayment of $50 million. These funds were primarily used for acquiring locations, including Frank’s Car Wash Express car wash sites.

On August 2, 2021, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for a secondary offering of approximately 12 million shares of common stock at $29.50 per share by certain of the Company’s stockholders, Driven Equity LLC and RC IV Cayman ICW Holdings LLC, each of which is a related party of Roark Capital Management, LLC. The Company did not sell any common stock in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the offering.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis for Driven Brands Holdings Inc. and Subsidiaries (“Driven Brands”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. On August 3, 2020, the Company completed the ICWG Acquisition (the “ICWG Acquisition Date”). The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 include the operations of ICWG. In this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, no comparable information is discussed with respect to ICWG for the three and six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, which is prior to the ICWG Acquisition Date. We operate on a 52/53-week fiscal year, which ends on the last Saturday in December. The three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020 were both 13 week periods. The six months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020 were both 26 week periods.

Overview of Operations

Driven Brands is the largest automotive services company in North America with a growing and highly-franchised base

of more than ~~4,200~~4,300 locations across 49 U.S. states and 14 other countries. Our scaled, diversified platform fulfills an extensive range of core consumer and commercial automotive needs, including paint, collision, glass, repair, car wash, oil change and maintenance. Driven Brands provides a breadth of high-quality and high-frequency services to a wide range of customers, who rely on their cars in all economic environments to get to work and in many other aspects of their daily lives. Our asset-light business model has generated consistent recurring revenue and strong operating margins with limited maintenance capital expenditures, which has resulted in significant cash flow generation and capital-efficient growth.

We have a diversified portfolio of highly-recognized brands, including Take 5 Oil Change®, Meineke Car Care Centers®, MAACO®, CARSTAR®, and 1-800-Radiator & A/C® that compete in the large, growing, recession-resistant and highly-fragmented automotive care industry. Our U.S. industry is underpinned by a large, growing population of more than 275 million vehicles in operation, and is expected to continue its long-term growth trajectory given (i) long-term increases in annual miles traveled; (ii) consumers more frequently outsourcing automotive services due to vehicle complexity; (iii) increases in average repair costs and (iv) average age of the car on the road getting older. During the three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, our network generated ~~$329~~$375 million and $704 million in revenue from $1$1.2 billion and $2.2 billion in system-wide ~~sales.~~sales, respectively. We serve a diverse mix of customers, with sales coming from retail customers and commercial customers such as fleet operators and insurance carriers. Our success is driven in large part by our mutually beneficial relationships with more than ~~2,500~~2,800 individual franchisees and independent operators.

Our organic growth is complemented by a consistent and repeatable M&A strategy, having completed more than 5070 acquisitions since 2015. Notably, in August 2020 we acquired ICWG, the world’s largest conveyor car wash company by location count with more than 900 locations across 14 countries, demonstrating our continued ability to pursue and execute upon scalable and highly strategic acquisitions.

Significant Factors Impacting Financial Results

During the second half of fiscal year 2020 and the first half of fiscal year 2021, we completed the acquisition of ICWG and ~~several~~tuck-in acquisitions of other independently-owned car wash sites, which launched our entry into the car wash market and created a new operating and reportable segment. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, we completed the acquisition of Fix Auto, which is included in our Paint, Collision & Glass ~~segment,~~segment. During fiscal year 2020 and the first half of fiscal year 2021, we also completed tuck-in acquisitions of several independently-owned oil change shops, which are included in our Maintenance segment. These acquisitions were a core driver of growth in our key performance indicators and our financial results for the three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, as compared to the three and six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. For additional information on our acquisitions, see Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2225

For the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, we recognized a net ~~loss~~income of ~~$20~~$35 million, or ~~$(0.13)~~$0.21 per diluted share, compared to a net ~~loss~~income of $4$3 million, or ~~$(0.04)~~$0.03 per diluted share, for the three months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. This ~~decrease~~increase was primarily due to a $45 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the write-off of unamortized discount associated with the early termination of the Car Wash Senior Credit Facilities, $16 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense related to acquisitions~~, and a $7 million increase in net loss on foreign currency transactions. These additional charges were offset by a $149 million~~an increase in revenue, primarily related to the acquisition of ICWG and ~~Fix Auto,~~additional tuck-in acquisitions in 2021, as well as ~~continued~~ organic growth from store growth and same store sales growth, partially offset by ~~a corresponding~~an increase in operating expenses and income tax expense related to this growth. Adjusted Net Income increased ~~$23~~$29 million for the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 to ~~$30~~$42 million, compared to $7$13 million for the three months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to ~~increased store count and associated system-wide sales, driven by a combination of organic growth and acquisitions, particularly~~an increase in revenue, primarily related to the acquisition of ~~ICWG.~~ICWG and additional tuck-in acquisitions, as well as organic growth from store growth and same store sales growth, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and income tax expense related to this growth. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information ~~about~~regarding acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA was ~~$78~~$101 million for the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, an increase of ~~$47~~$61 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of ~~$31~~$40 million for the three months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures of performance. For a discussion of our use of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation from net ~~loss~~income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information”.

AsFor the six months ended June 26, 2021, we recognized net income of $15 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to a ~~result~~net loss of ~~pent-up demand,~~$1 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the ~~economic stimulus package,~~six months ended June 27, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue, primarily related to the acquisition of ICWG and ~~rising~~additional tuck-in acquisitions, as well as organic growth from store growth and same store sales growth, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and income tax expense related to this growth. This was also partially offset by a $46 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the write-off of unamortized discount associated with the early termination of the Car Wash Senior Credit Facilities and a $3 million increase in net loss on foreign currency transactions. Adjusted Net Income increased $52 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 to $72 million, compared to $20 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to an increase in revenue, primarily related to the acquisition of ICWG and additional tuck-in acquisitions, as well as organic growth from store growth and same store sales growth, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and income tax expense related to this growth. Adjusted EBITDA was $179 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021, an increase of $108 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $71 million for the six months ended June 27, 2020. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures of performance. For a discussion of our use of these non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation from net income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA, see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information”.

Strong operational execution, coupled with improving consumer ~~confidence,~~and driving trends, led to total system-wide sales ~~were over $1~~of $1.2 billion during the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, an increase of ~~28%~~65% from the three months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. Total system-wide sales were $2.2 billion during the six months ended June 26, 2021, an increase of 46% from the six months ended June 27, 2020. The ~~current~~ outbreak of COVID-19 led to adverse impacts on global economies, including the U.S., Canada and Europe during fiscal year 2020 and into fiscal year 2021. While COVID-19 did not have a material adverse effect on our business operations for the three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, an increased level of volatility and uncertainty still exists, and we are continuing to monitor any potential impact to our business.

Key Performance Indicators

Key measures that we use in assessing our business and evaluating our segments include the following:

System-wide sales. System-wide sales represent the total of net sales for our franchised, independently-operated and company-operated stores. This measure allows management to better assess the total size and health of each segment, our overall store performance and the strength of our market position relative to competitors. Sales at franchised stores are not included as revenue in our results from operations, but rather, we include franchise royalties and fees that are derived from sales at franchised stores. Franchise royalties and fees revenue represented 9%10% and ~~16%, respectively,~~17% of our total revenue for the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, respectively, and for the six months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. For the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, approximately ~~97%~~96% and ~~88%~~93%, respectively, of franchise royalties and fees revenue is attributable to royalties, with the remaining balance attributable to license and development fees. For the six months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, approximately 95% and 92% respectively, of franchise royalties and fees revenue is attributable to royalties, with the remaining balance attributable to license and development fees. Revenue from company-operated stores represented ~~56%~~55% and ~~53% of~~52% our total revenue for the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, respectively, and for the six months ended June 26, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively. Revenue from independently-operated stores represented ~~17%~~15% and 16% of our total revenue for the three and six months ended ~~March 27, 2021.~~June 26, 2021, respectively.

Store count. Store count reflects the number of franchised, independently-operated and company-operated stores open at the end of the reporting period. Management reviews the number of new, closed, acquired and divested stores to assess net unit growth and drivers of trends in system-wide sales, franchise royalties and fees revenue, company-operated store sales and independently-operated store sales.

Same store sales. Same store sales reflect the change in sales year-over-year for the same store base. We define the same store base to include all franchised, independently-operated and company-operated stores open for comparable weeks during the given fiscal period in both the current and prior ~~year.~~year, which may be different from how others define similar terms. This measure highlights the performance of existing stores, while excluding the impact of new store openings and closures, and acquisitions and divestitures.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA. We define Segment Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments for acquisition-related costs, straight-line rent, equity compensation, loss on debt extinguishment, foreign currency transaction related gains or losses, store opening costs, and certain non-recurring and non-core, infrequent or unusual charges. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance of our segments and may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a performance metric utilized by our Chief Operating Decision Maker to allocate resources to and assess performance of our segments. Refer to Note 5 in our condensed consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) before taxes for the three and six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 and ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures throughout this quarterly report, as described further below, to provide investors with additional useful information about our financial performance, to enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects and to allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making.

2428

Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in their usefulness to investors because they have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not prepared under any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be directly comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies. As a result, non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for, our consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Net Income/Adjusted Earnings per Share. We define ~~adjusted net income~~Adjusted Net Income as net income calculated in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for acquisition-related costs, straight-line rent, equity compensation, loss on debt extinguishment and certain non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges, amortization related to acquired intangible assets and the tax effect of the adjustments. Adjusted Earnings Per Share is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the weighted average shares outstanding. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share to net ~~loss~~income (loss) as defined by GAAP:

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments for acquisition-related costs, straight-line rent, equity compensation, loss on debt extinguishment and certain non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure is useful because it is a key measure used by our management team to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss:

Results of Operations for the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 compared to the three months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020

To facilitate review of our results of operations, the following tables set forth our financial results for the periods indicated. All information is derived from the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Independently-operated store sales and expenses are derived from our acquisition of ICWG and are only reflected in the results of operations from the August 3, 2020 acquisition date through the end of our current period, and, as such, it is not meaningful to compare to prior period results.

Franchise Royalties and Fees

Franchise royalties and fees increased $1$10 million for the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 as compared to the three months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. This was primarily due to same store sales growth and the addition of ~~168~~76 franchised stores and a corresponding ~~$75~~$283 million increase in franchised system-wide sales as compared to the three months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. The increase in franchise system-wide sales was primarily due to the acquisition of Fix Auto in April 2020, which contributed $84 million of system-wide sales during the three months ended March 27, 2021.

Company-Operated Store Sales

Company-operated store sales increased ~~$89~~$119 million for the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 as compared to the three months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. This increase was due to same store sales growth and the addition of ~~255~~278 company-operated stores year-over-year, including ~~220~~246 car wash company-operated stores from the acquisition of ICWG and additional tuck-in Car Wash acquisitions, as well as additional company-operated stores in the Paint, Collision & Glass segment from the acquisition of Fix Auto during the second quarter of 2020. Acquisitions contributed an incremental $66 million of company-operated store sales during the three months ended June 26, 2021, and the remaining $53 million was due to the impact of organic growth primarily in our Maintenance segment.

Advertising Fund Contributions

Advertising fund contributions increased by $7 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to an increase in franchised system-wide sales of approximately $283 million. Our franchise agreements typically require the franchisee to pay continuing advertising fund fees based on a percentage of franchisee gross sales.

Supply and Other Revenue

Supply and other revenue increased $15 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020, primarily due to growth within the Platform Services and Maintenance segments. In addition, the acquisition of ICWG and other car wash sites generated approximately $2 million of incremental revenue for the three months ended June 26, 2021.

Total operating expenses	$	311,188	$	146,521	$	164,667	112	%

Company-Operated Store Expenses

Company-operated store expenses increased $70 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020. This increase in expenses is commensurate with the addition of 278 company-operated stores since June 27, 2020. Company-operated store expenses continue to increase at a slower rate than company-operated store sales due to our continued use of an efficient staffing model.

Advertising Fund Expenses

The $7 million increase in advertising fund expenses for the three months ended June 26, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020, represents a commensurate increase to advertising fund contributions during the period. Advertising fund expenses generally trend consistent with advertising fund contributions.

Supply and Other Expenses

Supply and other expenses increased $8 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020. This increase in expenses is commensurate with the growth in supply and other revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $32 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020. This increase is primarily due to $18 million of increased employee compensation and other employee-related expenses resulting primarily from the acquisition of ICWG and a $$5 million increase in marketing expenses.

Acquisition Costs

Acquisition costs decreased $1 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021, compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020. Acquisition costs during the three months ended June 26, 2021 were primarily related to nine acquisitions in the Car Wash segment, representing 26 car wash sites, and acquisition costs during the three months ended June 27, 2020 were primarily related to the Fix Auto acquisition.

Store Opening Costs

Store opening costs decreased by $0.2 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020, due to a decrease in average store opening costs for new company-operated store openings and conversions of acquired stores to the Take 5 brand. There were six new company-operated store openings and one store conversion in the three months ended June 26, 2021, compared to four company-operated store openings and one Take 5 store conversion during the three months ended June 27, 2020.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $18 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020, due to additional fixed assets and definite-lived intangible assets recognized in recent acquisitions.

Asset Impairment Charges

Asset impairment charges decreased by $1 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020, due to impairment related to certain fixed assets and operating lease right-of-use assets at closed locations.

Interest expense, net decreased $1 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021, as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020, as a result of our more favorable interest rates during the three months ended June 26, 2021 and the bridge loan entered into during the three months ended June 27, 2020 to finance 2020 acquisitions, which was paid in full and extinguished in 2020, partially offset by the Driven Holdings Revolving Credit Facility issued in 2021.

Income tax expense increased by $15 million for the three months ended June 26, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 27, 2020. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 26, 2021 was 32.6% compared to 33.3% for the three months ended June 27, 2020. The decrease in rate was primarily driven by an increase in income before taxes relative to the tax effects of our permanent differences for the three months ended June 26, 2021, which was partially offset by a change in statutory tax rates in the United Kingdom, enacted during the three months ended June 26, 2021.

Franchise Royalties and Fees

Franchise royalties and fees increased $11 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 27, 2020. This was primarily due to same store sales growth and the addition of 76 franchised stores and a corresponding $358 million increase in franchised system-wide sales as compared to the six months ended June 27, 2020. The increase in franchised system-wide sales was partially driven by the acquisition of Fix Auto in April 2020, which contributed $191 million of system-wide sales during the six months ended June 26, 2021.

Company-Operated Store Sales

Company-operated store sales increased $208 million for the six months ended June 26, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 27, 2020. This increase was due to same store sales growth and the addition of 278 company-operated stores year-over-year, including 246 car wash company-operated stores from the acquisition of ICWG and additional tuck-in acquisitions, as well as additional company-operated stores in the Paint, Collision & Glass segment from the acquisition of Fix Auto during the second quarter of 2020. Acquisitions contributed an incremental ~~$64~~$123 million of company-operated store sales during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, and the remaining ~~$25~~$85 million was due to the impact of organic growth primarily in our Maintenance segment.

Advertising Fund Contributions

Advertising fund contributions increased by $2$9 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, as compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, primarily due to an increase in franchised system-wide sales of approximately ~~$75~~$358 million. Our franchise agreements typically require the franchisee to pay continuing advertising fund fees based on a percentage of franchisee gross sales.

Supply and Other Revenue

Supply and other revenue increased $1$16 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 as compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. This increase was primarily due to growth within the ~~2020 acquisitions~~Platform Services and Maintenance segments. In addition, the acquisition of ICWG and ~~Fix Auto.~~ ~~These acquisitions~~other car wash sites generated approximately $2$3 million of incremental supply and other revenue for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021.

Segment Results of Operations for the three months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 compared to the three months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020

We assess the performance of our segments based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments for acquisition-related costs, store opening and closure costs, straight-line rent, equity compensation, loss on debt extinguishment and certain non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges. Additionally, shared services costs are not allocated to these segments and are included in Corporate and Other. Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Segment Results of Operations for the six months ended June 26, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 27, 2020

We assess the performance of our segments based on Segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as earnings before interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments for acquisition-related costs, store opening and closure costs, straight-line rent, equity compensation, loss on debt extinguishment and certain non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges. Additionally, shared services costs are not allocated to these segments and are included in ~~connection with~~Corporate and Other. Segment Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled metrics of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash flow from operations, supplemented with ~~our~~ long-term borrowings and revolving credit facilities, have been sufficient to fund our operations while allowing us to make strategic investments to grow our business. We believe that our ~~current~~ sources of liquidity and capital resources will be adequate to fund our operations, acquisitions, company-operated store development, other general corporate needs and the additional expenses we expect to incur for at least the next twelve months. We expect to continue to have access to the capital markets at acceptable terms. However this could be adversely affected by many factors, including a downgrade of our credit rating or a deterioration of certain financial ratios.

On January 14, 2021, we completed our IPO through which we issued and sold approximately 32 million shares of common stock at a price per share of $22. On February 10, 2021, we sold an additional 5 million shares pursuant to the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares. We received total proceeds of approximately $761 million from these transactions, net of the underwriting discounts and commissions. Upon closing of the IPO, we fully repaid $725 million related to the First Lien Term Loan, Second Lien Term Loan and the Revolving Debt Facility assumed in the ICWG Acquisition, including the related interest and fees. In addition, we recorded a ~~$45~~$46 million loss on debt extinguishment primarily driven by the write off of unamortized discount. We also used $43 million in proceeds to purchase approximately 2 million shares of common stock from certain of our existing shareholders.

Driven Brands Funding, LLC (the “Master Issuer”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Driven Brands Canada Funding ~~Funding~~ Corporation (along with the Master Issuer, the “Co-Issuers”) are subject to certain quantitative covenants related to debt service coverage and leverage ratios in connection with the Securitization Senior Notes. As of ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, ~~and December 26, 2020,~~ the Co-Issuers were in compliance with all covenants under its agreements.

The following table illustrates the main components of our cash flows:

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$33~~$125 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 compared to $6$14 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020, primarily resulting from an increase in operating income, ~~that was~~non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt, and other non-cash expenses, which were partially offset by an increase in net working capital requirements.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $5$197 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 compared to ~~$17~~$53 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, the Company received proceeds of ~~$41~~$49 million from sale-leaseback transactions and ~~proceeds of $4~~$6 million from ~~the~~ sale of ~~company-operated~~company operated stores. Proceeds from sale-leaseback transactions and ~~from~~ the sale of company-operated stores were offset by an increase in cash paid for acquisitions and capital expenditures during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 as compared to the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, we invested ~~$27~~$206 million in acquisitions, net of cash acquired, compared to $1$28 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020.

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, we invested ~~$23~~$46 million in capital expenditures, compared to ~~$16~~$25 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020. This increase is mostly due to ~~planned expansion and growth of~~new company-operated store openings within our Car Wash and Maintenance segments, as well as expenditures related to the maintenance of our existing store base and technology initiatives. Capital expenditures related to the maintenance of existing locations represented $4$8 million of the ~~$23~~$46 million in total capital expenditures for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021,, as compared to $1$3 million of the ~~$16~~$25 million in total capital expenditures for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 28,~~June 27, 2020.

(1) Amount primarily consists of finance lease obligations.

On January 14, 2021, we completed an initial public offering and used the proceeds to fully repay the Car Wash Senior Credit Facilities. For further information about our long-term debt obligations, see Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Income Tax Receivable Agreement

We expect to be able to utilize certain tax benefits which are related to periods prior to the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering, which we therefore attribute to our existing shareholders. We expect that these tax benefits (i.e., the Pre-IPO and IPO-Related Tax Benefits) will reduce the amount of tax that we and our subsidiaries would otherwise be required to pay in the future. We have entered into an income tax receivable agreement which provides our Pre-IPO shareholders with the right to receive payment by us of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. and Canadian federal, state, local and provincial income tax that we and our subsidiaries actually realize as a result of the utilization of the Pre-IPO and IPO-Related Tax Benefits.

For purposes of the income tax receivable agreement, cash savings in income tax will be computed by reference to the reduction in the liability for income taxes resulting from the utilization of the Pre-IPO and IPO-Related Tax Benefits. The term of the income tax receivable agreement commenced upon the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering and will continue until the Pre-IPO and IPO-Related Tax Benefits have been utilized, accelerated or expired.

Because we are a holding company with no operations of our own, our ability to make payments under the income tax receivable agreement is dependent on the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us. The securitized debt facility may restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us, which could affect our ability to make payments under the income tax receivable agreement. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the income tax receivable agreement because of restrictions under our outstanding indebtedness, such payments will be deferred and will generally accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.00% per annum until paid. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the income tax receivable agreement for any other reason, such payments will generally accrue interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 5.00% per annum until paid.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to our annual report for the year ended December 26, 2020 for a full discussion of our critical accounting policies. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 26, 2020.

Application of New Accounting Standards

See Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Refer to the Company’s annual report for the year ended December ~~27,~~26, 2020 for a complete discussion of the Company’s market risk. There have been no material changes in the Company’s market risk from those disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December ~~27,~~26, 2020, other than the Company’s repayment of the Car Wash Senior Credit Facilities in January 2021, ~~as well as~~ the Company’s execution of the income tax receivable agreement in connection with the ~~IPO.~~IPO, and the Company’s entry into the Driven Holdings Revolving Credit Facility. The repayment of debt and income tax receivable agreement impacted both the Company’s interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. See Notes 1 and 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, has evaluated the design effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, as of ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on evaluation of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed effectively and will provide a reasonable level of assurance.

b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the ~~quarter~~six months ended ~~March 27,~~June 26, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to various lawsuits, administrative proceedings, audits, and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Some of these lawsuits purport to be class actions and/or seek substantial damages. We are required to record an accrual for litigation loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Legal fees and expenses associated with the defense of all of our litigation are expensed as such fees and expenses are incurred. Management regularly assesses our insurance deductibles, analyzes litigation information with our attorneys and evaluates our loss experience in connection with pending legal proceedings. While we do not presently believe that any of the legal proceedings to which we are currently a party will ultimately have a material adverse impact on us, there can be no assurance that we will prevail in all the proceedings we are party to, or that we will not incur material losses from them.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

~~There have been no material changes from the~~For a discussion of risk factors ~~disclosed in~~that could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, business reputation or business prospects, we refer you to Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 26, ~~2020.~~2020, as supplemented by the following risk factor.

We may be deemedto be a jointemployerwith our franchiseesunder certainnewfederallaws, rules and regulations.

Companies that operate franchise systems may be subject to claims for allegedly being a joint employer with a franchisee. In August 2015, the National Labor Relations Board (the “NLRB”) adopted a new and broader standard for determining when two or more employers may be found to be a joint employer of the same employees under the National Labor Relations Act. Under that standard, there was an increased risk that franchisors could be held liable or responsible for unfair labor practices and other violations at franchised locations and subject them to other liabilities and obligations under the National Labor Relations Act. On February 25, 2020, the NLRB adopted a rule that reinstated the standard that existed prior to August 2015, thereby reducing the risk that franchisors might be held liable as a joint employer under the National Labor Relations Act as well for other violations and claims. However, it is possible that the August 2015 standard will be restored, or a more expansive rule adopted by the NLRB under the current administration or by other government agencies. In addition, on July 30, 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor (the “DOL”) announced a final rule to revise and update the definition of joint employer under the FLSA. The final rule, which will become effective on September 28, 2021, will rescind a rule adopted under the previous administration, which narrowed the criteria under which multiple entities could be found to be joint employers under the FLSA and focused on a control-based test to the exclusion of economic dependence more generally. It is anticipated that the DOL will revert to the prior, relatively more flexible (and potentially more expansive) “economic realities” test for assessing whether a party can be deemed a joint employer, which may include an analysis of whether the employee is economically dependent on multiple employers. The final rule may increase a franchisor’s risk of liability compared to the joint employer standard in effect under the previous administration. In addition, the DOL under the current administration may issue further guidance or adopt an even more expansive interpretation of joint employer and/or other interpretations that could result in franchisors being held liable or responsible for FLSA violations by their franchisees.
