| Description of Business | Description of business
Monro, Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (together, “Monro”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), are engaged principally in providing automotive undercar repair and tire replacement sales and tire related services in the United States. Monro had 1,114 Company-operated retail stores located in 32 states and 46 Car-X franchised locations as of September 26, 2026.
A certain number of our retail locations also service commercial customers. Our locations that serve commercial customers generally operate consistently with our other retail locations, except that the sales mix for these locations includes a higher number of commercial tires.
Monro’s operations are organized and managed as one single segment designed to offer to our customers replacement tires and tire related services, automotive undercar repair services as well as a broad range of routine maintenance services, primarily on passenger cars, light trucks and vans. We also provide other products and services for brakes; mufflers and exhaust systems; and steering, drive train, suspension and wheel alignment. |

| Basis of Presentation | Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial statements. While these statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim period, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statement presentation. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statement disclosures in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2026.
We use the same significant accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. For a description of our significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the financial statements, see Note 1 of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2026.
Due to the seasonal nature of our business, quarterly operating results and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the full year.
Fiscal year
We operate on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in March. Fiscal years 2027 and 2026 each cover 52 weeks. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, any references to “2027” or “fiscal 2027” and “2026” or “fiscal 2026” relate to the years ending March 27, 2027 and March 28, 2026, respectively.
Correction of previously issued financial statements
While preparing the 2026 consolidated financial statements, the Company identified a prior period error in the financing activities section of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024 and the quarters ended June 28, 2025, September 27, 2025 and December 27, 2025, related to the presentation of proceeds from borrowings and principal payments on borrowings associated with the Company’s Credit Facility. The error did not have an impact to our Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income or Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity for any of the impacted periods, nor did it have any impact on total cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities.
Although the Company determined that the error did not have a material impact on its previously issued annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements, the Company corrected the error on the affected annual statements of cash flow, as shown in Note 1 of our Form 10-K for fiscal 2026. Additionally, the Company is correcting the error on the affected interim statement of cash flows for the quarter ended September 27, 2025 herein and will correct the affected interim statements of cash flows in future filings of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, as applicable, to reflect proceeds from borrowings under the credit facility as cash inflows from financing activities and repayments of borrowings under the credit facility as cash outflows from financing activities, without affecting any cash flow totals. Our interim Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows reflect the changes in proceeds from borrowings under the credit facility as cash inflows (outflows) from financing activities for the quarter ended September 27, 2025 as shown in the chart below.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance, ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosures about specific expense categories, including but not limited to, purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and operating, selling, general and administrative expenses. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In September 2025, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes references to prescriptive software development stages and includes an updated framework for capitalizing internal software costs. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
In December 2025, the FASB issued new accounting guidance, ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements, which clarifies the scope and requirements for interim financial statement disclosures. The amendments create a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to disclose, in interim periods, any event or change since the previous year-end that has a material effect on the entity. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.
Other recent authoritative guidance issued by the FASB (including technical corrections to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the SEC did not or are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. |

| Guarantees | Guarantees At the time we issue a guarantee, we recognize an initial liability for the value of the obligation we assume under that guarantee. Monro has guaranteed certain lease payments related to lease assignments amounting to $17.8 million. This amount represents the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantees as of September 26, 2026. Leases guaranteed by Monro have options that expire through various dates from December 2026 through January 2044. In the event of default by the assignee, Monro retains the right to assume the lease of the related store. As of September 26, 2026 and March 28, 2026, we had a liability of $1.2 million and $1.3 million related to the estimated probability of defaults under the foregoing leases, with $0.1 million within Other current liabilities, and $1.1 million and $1.2 million within Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. |

| Impairment of Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets or Long-Lived Assets | Impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets or long-lived assets
Our goodwill is subject to an impairment test on an annual basis. Goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets are also tested whenever events and circumstances indicate that goodwill, other intangible assets and/or long-lived assets may be impaired. Any excess goodwill resulting from the impairment test must be written off in the period of determination. For example, during the second quarter of 2027, we experienced a decline in our market capitalization as a result of a decrease in our stock price. Our stock price has a history of volatility, however, given the decrease was sustained throughout the quarter, we viewed this event as a triggering event and performed a quantitative analysis of the fair value of the Company’s single reporting unit as of September 26, 2026 which resulted in an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill.
Under further analysis, we concluded that no impairment of goodwill was required as of September 26, 2026, and we have since undertaken operational changes, including changes in management and strategy, that we believe will lead to improvements in the performance of the business and cash flows. However, if our growth and profitability initiatives do not realize their expected benefits, goodwill and other intangible assets could be subject to impairment. |

| Store Closings | Store Closings
On May 23, 2025, following an evaluation of market segmentation and demographic data specific to geographic areas where our stores are located, our Board of Directors approved a plan to close 145 underperforming stores that we identified to have failed to maintain an acceptable level of profitability (the “Store Closure Plan”). These stores were closed during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and $14.8 million of net store closing costs were recorded during the three months ended June 28, 2025. These expenses included $10.7 million in expected costs to be incurred related to the vacating of stores, utilities, real estate taxes, maintenance, other on-going costs related to the properties, $3.5 million related to the disposal of inventory and other store assets and $0.6 million related to third-party vendors and other expected cost adjustments. As of September 26, 2026 and March 28, 2026, the Company had a remaining liability of $2.6 million and $3.7 million, representing such costs to be settled in future periods, with $1.1 million and $1.8 million included within Other current liabilities and $1.5 million and $1.9 million included within Other long-term liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. We expect these costs to be settled within the next to five years.
During the three months ended September 26, 2026, the Company sold three owned stores and related equipment. We received net proceeds of $2.1 million and recorded a net gain of $1.4 million. Additionally, the Company assigned three leases to a third party and early terminated three leases. We received net proceeds of $0.8 million and recorded a net gain of $0.9 million, which included the derecognition of lease liabilities.
During the six months ended September 26, 2026, the Company sold seven owned stores and related equipment. We received net proceeds of $4.7 million and recorded a net gain of $3.0 million. Additionally, the Company assigned four leases to a third party and early terminated eight leases. We received net proceeds of $1.1 million and recorded a net gain of $1.5 million, which included the derecognition of lease liabilities.
All losses (gains) related to store closings are included in in our Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. |

| Assets Held for Sale | Assets held for sale
We classify long-lived assets to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the required criteria are met. We initially measure a long-lived asset that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held-for-sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset until the date of sale. Upon determining that a long-lived asset meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, we cease depreciation and report long-lived assets, if material, as Assets held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We completed the closure of 145 underperforming stores under the Store Closure Plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and determined that $13.0 million of building, land and certain equipment met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of June 28, 2025. As of September 26, 2026, $2.5 million of buildings, land and certain equipment remain classified as assets held for sale.
