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, as supplemented by the “Risk Factors” section in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 26,25, 2021, and in this Quarterly Report as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available on its website at www.sec.gov.

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 ashas 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 SeptemberMarch 26, 2022 and December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020 are summarized as follows:

The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency derivative instruments are derived from valuation models, which use Level 2 observable inputs such as quoted market prices, interest rates and forward yield curves. Derivative liabilities are included in long-term accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The carrying values of cash, restricted cash, and receivables included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximate their fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on Level 2 inputs using discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for interest rates, credit risk and contractual terms of the debt agreements.
The carrying value and estimated fair value of total long-term debt were as follows:

Note 8—Share-based8 — Equity-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 September 25, 2021, 6,986,207 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 4.96 years, (ii) an expected volatility of 40.6%, (iii) a risk-free interest rate of 0.48%, and (iv) no expected dividends.
There was approximately $6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the time-based restricted stock awards and time-based IPO Options at September 25, 2021, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 3.07 years.
There was approximately $91 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the performance-based restricted stock awards and performance-based IPO Options at September 25, 2021. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 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 othergranted new awards in connection withduring the IPO,three months ended March 26, 2022, including 239,804 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 446,348 performance stock units (“PSUs”). Awards established in connection with the IPO may onlyare eligible to vest provided that the employee remains in continuous service on each vesting date. The RSUs vest ratably 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 areperformance period. The number of PSUs that vest is contingent on achieving certain performance goals, one being a market condition and the other being a performance condition. The number of PSU shares that vest may range from zero to 200% of the original grant, based upon the level of performance. The awards are considered probable of meeting vesting requirements, or vest upon achieving a market condition, and therefore, havethe Company has started recognizing expense.
The fair value of the RSUs, performance based PSUs wasand market based PSUs granted were $7 million each. The Company based the fair value of the RSUs and performance based PSUs on the Company’s stock price on the grant date. The Company determined the fair value of the market based PSUs by using a Monte Carlo simulation, using the following assumptions: (i) an expected term of 2.963 years, (ii) an expected volatility of 41.16%40.90%, (iii) a risk-free interest ratecorrelation of 0.23%the S&P Mid-cap Index peer group of 50.70%, and (iv) no expected dividend.
At September 25, 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 2.49 years, and there was approximately $2 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 September 25, 2021, there were no 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$3 million and $3$1 million of share-based compensation expense during the three and nine months ended September 25,March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively, within selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. Share-based compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020 was less than $1 million in each period.

The increase in income tax expense and tax rate was primarily driven by an affiliated entity, which provided thatincrease in income before taxes relative to the Company pay an annual advisory services feetax effects of our permanent differences for the three months ended March 26, 2022, and favorable discrete tax adjustments related to Roark. The Company and Roark terminated all advisory services agreements in January 2021 in connection witha non-deductible loss on debt extinguishment as well as tax deductible costs incurred related to the Company’s initial public 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 consolidated financial statements and the related notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report. We operate on a 52/53-week fiscal year, which ends on the last Saturday in December. The three months ended September 25,March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021 and September 26, 2020 were both 13 week periods. The nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020 were both 39 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 4,3004,500 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-qualityhigh 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 nine months ended September 25, 2021, our network generated $371 million and $1.1 billion in revenue from $1.2 billion and $3.4 billion in system-wide 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 2,800 individual franchisees and independent operators.
Our organic growth is complemented by a consistent and repeatable M&A strategy, having completed more than 70100 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. We further complemented our expansion into the car wash segment by acquiring 112 locations in 2021 and six additional car wash locations during the first quarter of 2022. We grew our glass service offerings through the acquisition of Auto Glass Now (“AGN”) in late December 2021 which has 79 locations.
Significant Factors Impacting Financial Results
During the second half of fiscal year 2020 and the first nine months of fiscal year 2021,As noted above, we completed the acquisition of ICWG and a number of tuck-in acquisitions of other112 independently-owned car wash sites which launched our entry into theduring fiscal year 2021 and six additional car wash market and created a new operating and reportable segment. Duringlocations during the secondfirst quarter of fiscal year 2020, we completed the2022, which are included in our Car Wash segment. The acquisition of Fix Auto,AGN during the first quarter of 2022, which is included in our Paint, Collision & Glass segment. During fiscal year 2020 andsegment, expands our glass operations into the first nine months of fiscal year 2021, we also completed tuck-in acquisitions of several independently-owned oil change shops, which are included in our Maintenance segment.U.S. market. These acquisitions were a core driver of growth in our key performance indicators and our financial results for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, as compared to the three and nine months ended September 26, 2020.March 27, 2021. For additional information on our acquisitions, see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
For the three months ended September 25, 2021, weWe recognized net income of $33$34 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4 million, or $0.04$0.20 per diluted share for the three months ended SeptemberMarch 26, 2020.2022, compared to net loss of $(20) million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, for the three months ended March 27, 2021. This increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue, primarily related to the AGN acquisition of ICWG and a number of tuck-incar wash acquisitions in 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, as well as organic growth from store growth and same store sales growth, and lower interest expense, partially offset by an increase inhigher operating, expensesinterest and income tax expenseexpenses associated with this growth. The increase was also partially offset bydue to $45 million in debt extinguishment cost in three months ended March 27, 2021 related to the repayment of the ICWG debt and a $3$10 million increasedecrease in net loss on foreign currency transactions.
Adjusted Net Income was $43$48 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, an increase of $21$17 million, compared to $22$30 million for the three months ended September 26, 2020.March 27, 2021. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to an increase in revenue, primarily related to the acquisition of ICWGAGN and a number of tuck-incar wash acquisitions, as well as organic growth from store growth and same store sales growth, and lower interest expense, partially offset by an increase in an increase in operating, expensesinterest and income tax expenseexpenses associated with this growth. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding acquisitions. Adjusted EBITDA was $98 million for the three months ended September 25, 2021, an increase of $29 million, compared to $69 million for the three months ended September 26, 2020.
For the nine months ended September 25, 2021, we recognized net income of $48 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenue, primarily related to the acquisition of ICWG and a number of tuck-in acquisitions, as well as organic growth from store growth and same store sales growth and lower interest expense, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and income tax expense related associated with this growth. This was also partially offset by 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 and a $6 million increase in net loss on foreign currency transactions. Adjusted Net Income was $116 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2021, an increase of $74 million, compared to $42 million for the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to an increase in revenue, primarily related to the acquisition of ICWG and a number of tuck-in acquisitions, as well as organic growth from store growth and same store sales growth and lower interest expense, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses and income tax expense associated with this growth. Adjusted EBITDA was $277 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2021, an increase of $137 million, compared to $140 million for the nine months ended September 26, 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, improving consumer and driving trends and acquisitions led to total system-wide sales of $1.2$1.3 billion during the three months ended September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, an increase of 28%26% from the three months ended September 26, 2020. Total system-wide sales were $3.4 billion during the nine months ended September 25, 2021, an increase of 39% from the nine months ended September 26, 2020. The outbreak of COVID-19 led to adverse impacts on global economies, including the U.S., Canada and Europe during fiscal year 2020 which continued into fiscal yearMarch 27, 2021. While COVID-19 did not have a material adverse effect on our business operations for the three and nine months ended September 25, 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 10%8% and 14%9% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 25, 2021March 26, 2022 and September 26, 2020, respectively, and 10% and 15% for the nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively.March 27, 2021. For the three months ended September 25,March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, and September 26, 2020, approximately 98% and 95%97%, respectively, of franchise royalties and fees revenue is attributable to royalties, with the remaining balance attributable to license and development fees. For the nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, approximately 98% and 91% 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 58%62% and 53%56% of total revenue for the three months ended March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, respectively. Revenue from independently-operated stores represented 13% and 17% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 25,March 26, 2022 and March 27, 2021, and September 26, 2020, respectively, and 56% and 53% for the nine months ended September 25, 2021 and September 26, 2020, respectively. Revenue
from independently-operated stores represented 13% and 15% of our total revenue for the three and nine months ended September 25, 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, 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 consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of income before taxes to Segment Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021March 26, 2022 and September 26, 2020.March 27, 2021.

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.
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 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 Net income (loss) to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share:

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.

Segment Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 25, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 26, 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.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash flow from operations, supplemented with 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 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 $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 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. Driven Holdings
Revolving Credit Facility also has certain qualitative covenants. As of September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, the Co-Issuers and Driven Holdings were in compliance with all covenants under its agreements.
At September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, the Company had total liquidity of $268$668 million, which included $116$271 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, $100$97 million and $53$300 million of undrawn capacity on its 2019 variable funding securitization senior notes and Driven Holdings Revolving Credit Facility, respectively.
On September 29, 2021, Driven Brands Funding, LLC and Driven Brands Canada Funding Corporation, each wholly owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company issued $450 million of 2021 Senior Notes bearing a fixed interest rate of 2.791% and a final legal maturity date of October 20, 2051 and an anticipated repayment date of October 20, 2028 (the “2021 Senior Notes”). The proceeds from the issuance of the 2021 Senior Notes were used to pay off the outstanding $247 million balance on the Driven Holdings Revolving Credit Facility with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes including future acquisitions.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $198$9 million for the ninethree months ended September 25, 2021March 26, 2022 compared to $66$33 million for the ninethree months ended SeptemberMarch 27, 2021. The decrease was due to $56 million payment of transaction costs associated with the AGN acquisition during the three months ended March 26, 2020, primarily resulting from a $1882022, which was partially offset by $15 million increase in operating results which was partially offset byand a $56$17 million increasedecrease in net working capital.

These higher investing cash outflows were offset byexpenditures and a $3 million decrease in proceeds received of $66 million from sale-leaseback transactions, $5 million from sale of property and equipment and $2 million from the sale of our At-Pac business during the nine months ended September 25, 2021 .transactions.
For the ninethree months ended September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, we invested $94$69 million in capital expenditures, compared to $35$23 million for the ninethree months ended September 26, 2020.March 27, 2021. This increase is mostly due to 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.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided byused in financing activities was $205$6 million for the ninethree months ended September 25, 2021 comparedMarch 26, 2022 due primarily related to $111the repayment of senior securitization notes. Net cash used in financing activities was $30 million for the ninethree months ended September 26, 2020. We receivedMarch 27, 2021 primarily resulting from our $722 million repayment of the Car Wash Senior Credit Facilities, $43 million in repurchases of our common stock, and $22 million payment related to the termination of our interest rate swaps. These were offset by the $761 million in proceeds from our IPO and the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option, net of underwriting discounts and $247 million net proceeds from borrowings under the Driven Holdings Revolving Credit Facility during the nine months ended September 25, 2021.

SeeNote 1 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our IPO, and Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the Company’s debt.
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 consolidated financial statements. Refer to our annual report for the year ended December 26, 202025, 2021 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, 2020.25, 2021. Application of New Accounting Standards

Refer to the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 26, 202025, 2021 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 26, 2020,25, 2021, other than the Company’s repayment of the Car Wash Senior Credit Facilities in January 2021, the Company’s execution of the income tax receivable agreement in connection with the IPO, the Company’s entry into the Driven Holdings Revolving Credit Facility, and the Company’s issuance of the 2021 Senior Notes. The repayment of debt and income tax receivable agreement impacted both the Company’s interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk. See Note 1 and Note 6 to the 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 September 25, 2021.March 26, 2022. 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 September 25, 2021,March 26, 2022, 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 ninethree months ended September 25, 2021March 26, 2022 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
For a discussion of risk factors 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, as supplemented by Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 26, 2021 and the following risk factor.25, 2021.
Mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of employees could impact our workforce and suppliers and have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Effective November 5, 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) issued an emergency temporary standard (“OSHA Regulation”) requiring all employers with at least 100 employees (“Covered Employers”) to implement a COVID-19 vaccination policy that requires their employees to be vaccinated or to undergo weekly COVID-19 testing and wear a face covering at work. Covered Employers, such as the Company, will be required to provide paid time off for workers to get vaccinated and allow for paid leave for employees to recover from any side effects. The OSHA Regulation also requires Covered Employers to (i) determine the vaccination status of each employee, (ii) obtain acceptable proof of vaccination status from vaccinated employees and maintain records of such vaccinations, and (iii) require employees to provide prompt notice to the employer when they test positive for COVID-19 or receive a COVID-19 diagnosis. Covered Employers must comply with most of the requirements of the OSHA Regulation by December 5, 2021, and must comply with the testing requirement by January 4, 2022. Failure to comply with the OSHA Regulation may result in fines. Litigation
challenging aspects of the OSHA Regulation has commenced, and we anticipate that further litigation and other actions challenging aspects of the OSHA Regulation may materialize, which could further complicate implementation of the OSHA Regulation.
The OSHA Regulation or similar mandatory vaccination or testing requirements that may become applicable to our employees may result in employee attrition, including attrition of critically skilled labor, difficulty in obtaining services, parts, and components from impacted suppliers, and increased costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
