statements. Significant items that are subject to estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill; income taxes; allowances for credit losses; valuation of derivatives; self-insurance claims; and stock-basedequity-based compensation. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in its evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on historical experience, current conditions, and various other additional information, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Actual results could differ due to uncertainty inherent in the naturesnature of these estimates.

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 has 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 unobservableUnobservable 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 July 1, 2023March 30, 2024 and December 31, 202230, 2023 are summarized as follows:

This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates and, particularly, the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is effective immediatelyfor annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the amendments may be applied prospectively throughimpact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Management regularly assesses our insurance deductibles, analyzes litigation information with our attorneys, and evaluates our loss experience in connection with pending legal proceedings. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. When a loss is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate within the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuit or claim. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability and revise our accruals, if necessary. Legal fees and expenses associated with the defense of all of our litigation are expensed as such fees and expenses are incurred. Because of uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ materially from our estimates.
Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System v. Driven Brands Holdings Inc., et al. – On December 22, 2023, Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System filed a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the six months ended July 1, 2023 comparedWestern District of North Carolina (the “Court”) against the Company as well as a current and a former Company executive (the “Individual Defendants”) alleging violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act by the Company, as well as violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act by the Individual Defendants. Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System, Oakland County Employees’ Retirement System, and Oakland County Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (collectively the “Michigan Funds”) have moved for appointment as lead plaintiffs and for Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann LLP to an income tax benefit of $6 millionbe appointed as lead counsel for the six months ended June 25, 2022.purported class. The effective income tax rateMichigan Funds purport to represent a class of stockholders who purchased Company shares between October 27, 2021 and August 1, 2023. On March 5, 2024, the Michigan Funds filed a notice of unopposed motion asking the Court to grant their prior motion to appoint them as lead plaintiffs. The Court has yet to rule on the unopposed motion. The Company disputes the allegations of wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend against the action. No assessment as to the likelihood or range of any potential adverse outcome has been made as of the date of this filing.
Other than the matter described above, as of March 30, 2024, there are no current proceedings or litigation matters involving the Company or its property that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for the six months ended July 1, 2023 was 31.6% compared to 20.6% for the six months ended June 25, 2022. The net increase in income tax expense and effective tax rate was primarily driven by a non-recurring tax benefit related to a trade name impairment for the six months ended June 25, 2022, partially offset by the inclusion of foreign disregarded entity losses for the six months ended July 1, 2023.

We operate on a 52/52 or 53-week fiscal year, which ends on the last Saturday in December. The three months ended JulyMarch 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 and June 25, 2022 were both 13 week periods. The six months ended July 1, 2023 and June 25, 2022 were both 26 week periods.
Overview
Driven Brands is the largest automotive services company in North America with a growing and highly-franchised base of more than 4,9005,000 locations across 49 U.S. states and 13 other countries. Our scaled, diversified platform fulfills an extensive range of core consumerretail and commercial automotive needs, including paint, collision, glass, and repair services, as well as a variety of high-frequency services, such as oil changes and car washes. We have continued to generategrow our base of consistent reoccurringrecurring revenue expansionby adding new franchised and strong margins, which has resulted in significant cash flow generationcompany-operated stores and capital-efficientsame store sales growth. Driven Brands generated net revenue of approximately $572 million during the three months ended March 30, 2024, an increase of 2% compared to the prior year, and system-wide sales of approximately $1.6 billion during the three months ended March 30, 2024, an increase of 7% from the prior year.
We have continued to drive sustained predictable growth and share gain through our robust pipeline of organic growth adding 133 new stores during 2023, primarily through greenfield openings to drive density in key target locations.

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.
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, cloud computing amortization, 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 six months ended JulyMarch 30, 2024 and April 1, 2023 and June 25, 2022.2023.

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, cloud computing amortization, 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.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended July 1, 2023March 30, 2024 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 25, 2022April 1, 2023
Net Income
We recognized net income of $38$4 million, or $0.22$0.03 per diluted share, for the three months ended July 1, 2023,March 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $57$30 million, or ($0.34)$0.17 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 25, 2022. This increaseApril 1, 2023. The decrease of approximately $25 million was primarily due to the non-recurrence of a $125 million following:
non-cash impairment chargecharges of $19 million, primarily relating to assets held for sale in the three months ended June 25, 2022 relatedcurrent period;
increased interest expense of $6 million, primarily due to increased borrowings and higher variable rates on the change in intended use of certain existing Car Wash trade names migrating to the Take 5 Car Wash brand as well as a benefitRevolving Credit Facility;
unfavorable impact from foreign exchange of $15$6 million;
increased depreciation and amortization expenses of $5 million relating to capital expenditures and an increasenew store openings that occurred in gains from sale leaseback transactions. This increase in income was partially offset by reducedthe prior 12 months; and
decreased operating margins for company-operated stores, primarily within the Car Wash and Paint, Collision & Glass segments, higher interest expense,segments.
These decreases were partially offset by:
a gain primarily relating to the sale of a higher variable interest rate onbusiness, assets held for sale, and favorable lease terminations of approximately $13 million during the Term Loan Facilitythree months ended March 30, 2024 compared to a loss of $2 million during the three months ended April 1, 2023;
a decrease in tax expense of $5 million; and

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended July 1, 2023 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 25, 2022
We recognized net income of $67 million, or $0.40 per diluted share for the six months ended July 1, 2023, compared to a net loss of $23 million, or ($0.14) per diluted share, for the six months ended June 25, 2022. This increase was primarily due to the non-recurrence of a $125 million non-cash impairment charge in the six months ended June 25, 2022 related to the change in intended use of certain existing Car Wash trade names migrating to the Take 5 Car Wash brand, a positive benefit from foreign exchange of $18 million, and an increase in gains from sale leaseback transactions. The increase in net income was partially offset by reduced operating margins and increased marketing expenditures for company-operated stores, primarily within the Car Wash and Paint, Collision & Glass segments, higher interest expense, primarily relating to a higher variable interest rate on the Term Loan Facility in the current period as well as interest relating to borrowings under the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Securitization Senior Notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2022, and increased depreciation and amortization relating to capital expenditures and business acquisitions over the prior 12 months.
Adjusted net income was $91 million for the six months ended July 1, 2023, a decrease of $16 million, compared to $107 million for the six months ended June 25, 2022. This decrease was primarily due to reduced operating margins and increased marketing expenditures for company-operated stores, primarily within the Car Wash and Paint, Collision & Glass segments, higher interest expense, relating to a higher variable interest rate on the Term Loan Facility in the current period as well as interest relating to borrowings under the Series 2022-1 Class A-2 Securitization Senior Notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2022, and increased depreciation relating to capital expenditures and business acquisitions over the prior 12 months.
Adjusted EBITDA was $279 million for the six months ended July 1, 2023, an increase of $25 million, compared to $254 million for the six months ended June 25, 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to an increase in revenue related to same store sales growth, unit growth from the U.S. glass and car wash acquisitions in the trailing twelve month period, and organic store count growth, partially offset by reduced operating margins and increased marketing expenditures for company-operated stores, primarily within the Car Wash and Paint, Collision & Glass segments.

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, cloud computing amortization, and certain non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges. In addition, shared services costs are not allocated to these segments and are included in Corporate and Other. Segment Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our segments and may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

Car Wash Segment revenue increased by $6 million, or 4%, driven by an increase in same store sales within independently-operated store sales, the addition of 59 net new company-operated stores primarily due to acquisitions and greenfield openings in the trailing twelve months, and a favorable impact from foreign exchange, partially offset by decreased same store sales within company-operated store sales.
Car Wash is comprised of car wash sites throughout the United States, Europe, and Australia with varying geographical, economical, and political factors, which could impact the results of the business. Car Wash has experienced increased competitive pressures and negative weather patterns, which have contributed to negative same store sales, as well as political disruptions in our international locations resulting in increased costs and reduced operational results. We perform site reviews, as needed, to evaluate operational efficiencies and these reviews could result in future impairment charges.
Car Wash Segment Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $10 million, or 19%, primarily driven by decreased same store sales within company-operated store sales and increased company-operated store costs primarily relating to employee compensation and rent expense for properties included in sale-leaseback transactions in the trailing twelve months, partially offset by a favorable impact from foreign exchange.

Paint, Collision & Glass revenue increased $38 million, or 40%, for the three months ended July 1, 2023, as compared to the three months ended June 25, 2022. The company-operated store sales increased $34 million, or 65%, as a result of U.S. glass acquisitions in the trailing twelve months. Franchise royalties and fees increased by $3 million, or 12%, primarily due to a $134 million, or 20%, increase in franchise system-wide sales generated by same store sales growth and 46 net new franchise stores. Supply and other revenue increased by less than $1 million, or 4%, due to higher product sales resulting from an increase in system-wide sales.
We entered the U.S. glass market in the first quarter of 2022 through the acquisition of Auto Glass Now and have quickly become the second largest player in the auto glass servicing category. Since entering the market, we have completed 12 acquisitions and as of July 1, 2023 we have 222 glass stores. We have continued to integrate these acquisitions, standardize operations, and rebrand to the Auto Glass Now brand name throughout the first half of 2023. Due to the size and complexity of these acquisitions, the integrations have taken longer than planned resulting in less cost efficiencies in the current period.
Paint, Collision & Glass Segment Adjusted EBITDA increased $8 million, or 25%, primarily due to revenue growth from acquisitions and same store sales growth. Company-operated stores comprise 13% of the Paint, Collision & Glass store count in the current period compared to 9% in the prior year, which resulted in lower margins in the current period, primarily due to higher inventory costs and employee related costs.

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 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 macroeconomic factors, a downgrade of our credit rating, or a deterioration of certain financial ratios.
Driven Brands Funding, LLC (the “Issuer”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Driven Brands Canada Funding Corporation (along with the Issuer, the “Co-Issuers”) are subject to certain quantitative covenants related to debt service coverage and leverage ratios in connection with our securitization senior notes. Our term loan facilityTerm Loan Facility and Revolving Credit Facility also have certain qualitative covenants. As of July 1, 2023,March 30, 2024, the Co-Issuers and Driven Holdings were in material compliance with all such covenants under their respective credit agreements.
At July 1, 2023,March 30, 2024, the Company had total liquidity of $493$308 million, which included $212166 million in cash and cash equivalents and $9190 million and $190$52 million of undrawn capacity on its 2019 VFN and Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. This does not include the additional $135 million Series 2022-1 Class A-1 Notes that expand our variable funding note borrowing capacity when the company elects to exercise it, assuming certain conditions continue to be met.
