CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Driven Brands Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: DRVN) (“Driven Brands� or the “Company�) today reported financial results for the second quarter ending June 28, 2025.

For the second quarter, Driven Brands delivered revenue of $551.0 million, an increase of 6.2% versus the prior year. System-wide sales increased 3.1% to $1.6 billion, driven by a 1.7% increase in same store sales and 3.9% increase in store count versus the prior year.

Net income from continuing operations was $11.8 million or $0.07 per diluted share versus net income from continuing operations of $37.2 million or $0.22 per diluted share in the prior year.

“In the second quarter, we delivered another strong performance, with consistent results across same store sales, revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. We continued our disciplined debt reduction strategy and achieved pro forma net leverage of 3.9x following the sale of the U.S. car wash seller note in July. These results demonstrate the power of our diversified platform and our growth and cash playbook. Take 5 Oil Change remains at the forefront through industry-leading growth, achieving its 20th consecutive quarter of same store sales growth. I'm proud of how our team and franchise partners continue to execute with focus and discipline in this dynamic macro environment,� said Danny Rivera, President and Chief Executive Officer.

“Looking ahead, I am confident in our ability to continue to deliver sustainable growth, as we have the right people, the right model, and the right momentum to win. With Take 5 Oil Change's proven operating model, our franchise brands' consistent cash generation, and our team's focused execution, we're well-positioned to execute on our key priorities of driving continued growth, generating robust free cash flow, and reducing leverage to generate long-term value for our shareholders,� Rivera continued.

Capital and Liquidity

The Company ended the second quarter with total liquidity of $654.8 million consisting of $166.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $488.7 million of undrawn capacity on its variable funding securitization senior notes and revolving credit facility. This did not include the additional $135.0 million Series 2022 Class A-1 Notes that expand the Company’s variable funding note borrowing capacity if the Company elects to exercise them, assuming certain conditions continue to be met.

Seller Note Divestiture

On July 25, 2025, Driven Brands divested the seller note received in connection with the sale of the former U.S. car wash business for $113.0 million in cash proceeds. Net proceeds were used to pay off all outstanding term loan principal as well as $65.0 million of the drawn balance on its revolving credit facility. The reduction in debt resulted in pro forma net leverage of 3.9x Adjusted EBITDA.

Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook

The Company reaffirms its financial outlook for fiscal year ending December 27, 2025.

Ìý

2025 Outlook

Revenue

~$2.05 - $2.15 billion

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Company has provided this non-GAAP financial information, which is not calculated or presented in accordance with GAAP, as information supplemental and in addition to the financial measures presented in this earnings release that are calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in this earnings release. The non-GAAP financial measures in this earnings release may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Outlook

Driven Brands includes Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA�) and Adjusted Earnings per Share (“Adjusted EPS�) in the Company’s Fiscal Year 2025 Outlook. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures and have not been reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts due to the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events and often outside of management’s control and which could be significant. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of precision required, we are unable to provide an outlook for the comparable GAAP measures. Forward-looking estimates of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein and in our filings with the SEC.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are considered non-GAAP financial measures under the SEC’s rules because they exclude certain amounts included in the net income attributable to Driven Brands common stockholders and diluted earnings per share attributable to Driven Brands common stockholders calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are meaningful measures to share with investors because they facilitate comparison of the current period performance with that of the comparable prior period. In addition, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS afford investors a view of what management considers to be Driven Brands� core earnings performance as well as the ability to make a more informed assessment of such earnings performance with that of the prior period.

The tables below reflect the calculation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings Per Share for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, compared to the three and six months ended June 29, 2024.

Adjusted Earnings Per Share is calculated under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, adjusted earnings per share is calculated using adjusted net income attributable to common shares, which is derived by reducing adjusted net income by the amount attributable to participating securities. Adjusted Net Income attributable to participating securities used in the basic earnings per share calculations was less than $1 million and $1 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, respectively, and $1 million and $2 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, respectively. Adjusted Net Income attributable to participating securities used in the diluted earnings per share calculation was less than $1 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025 and June 29, 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is considered a non-GAAP financial measure under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC�) rules because it excludes certain amounts included in net income calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a meaningful measure to share with investors because it facilitates comparison of the current period performance with that of the comparable prior period. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA affords investors a view of what management considers to be Driven Brand’s core operating performance as well as the ability to make a more informed assessment of such operating performance as compared with that of the prior period.

Please see the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025, for additional information on Adjusted EBITDA. The tables below reflect the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, compared to the three and six months ended June 29, 2024.

As acquisitions occur in the future we expect to incur similar costs and, under U.S. GAAP, such costs relating to acquisitions are expensed as incurred and not capitalized.

(b)

Ìý

Consists of discrete items and project costs, including third-party professional costs associated with strategic transformation initiatives as well as non-recurring payroll-related costs.

(c)

Ìý

Includes non-cash amortization expenses relating to cloud computing arrangements.

(d)

Ìý

Represents non-cash share-based compensation expense.
