Driven Brands Holdings Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results August 6, 2026 --Revenue increases 6.8% to $507.4 million with same store sales growth of 1.4%-- --Take 5 same store sales increase 3.6%; 24th consecutive quarter of growth-- --Net leverage ratio improves to 3.1x Adjusted EBITDA-- --Company reiterates fiscal year 2026 outlook ranges-- Driven Brands Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: DRVN) (“Driven Brands” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the second quarter ending June 27, 2026. For the second quarter, Driven Brands delivered revenue of $507.4 million, an increase of 7% versus the prior year. System-wide sales increased 5% to $1.6 billion, driven by a 1% increase in same store sales and 5% increase in store count versus the prior year. Net income from continuing operations was $37.3 million or $0.23 per diluted share versus $16.4 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted Net Income1 was $48.2 million or $0.29 per diluted share versus $48.9 million or $0.30 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA1, which included $11.8 million of non-recurring, restatement-related costs, was $107.0 million, a decrease of 7% versus the prior year. “Our results this quarter reflect the strength of our diversified, non-discretionary portfolio,” said Danny Rivera, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue grew 7%, every segment delivered positive same store sales growth, and Take 5 extended its streak to 24 consecutive quarters of positive same store sales growth, including 3.6% growth this quarter. We also moved closer to our 3x leverage target, ending the quarter at 3.1x.” “We are reiterating our full-year 2026 outlook ranges and remain focused on scaling Take 5, generating consistent cash flow, and further reducing leverage. We are operating in a dynamic consumer environment and are managing the business with appropriate discipline. Our resilient portfolio, strong balance sheet, and focus on execution position us well to navigate uncertain market conditions and deliver long-term shareholder value,” Rivera concluded. Note: Prior-period financial information presented herein reflects results inclusive of restatement corrections and has been recast for discontinued operations for the applicable periods. Cash flow statements have not been recast to reflect the impact of discontinued operations.

Capital and Liquidity The Company ended the quarter with a net leverage ratio of 3.1x Adjusted EBITDA and total liquidity of $855 million consisting of $184 million in cash and cash equivalents and $671 million of undrawn capacity on its variable funding securitization senior notes and revolving credit facility. This does not include the additional $135 million 2022-1 Securitization Senior Notes that would expand the Company’s variable funding note borrowing capacity if the Company elects to exercise them, assuming certain conditions continue to be met. Fiscal Year 2026 Outlook The Company reiterates its financial outlook ranges for fiscal year 2026 as follows: 2026 Outlook Revenue ~$1.95 - $2.05 billion Adjusted EBITDA1 ~$430 - $460 million Adjusted Diluted EPS1 ~$1.15 - $1.25 The Company expects fiscal year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA1 to be at the low end of its outlook range, reflecting continued uncertainty with lower-income consumers and the conflict in the Middle East, as well as its expectation for the non-recurring, restatement-related costs to come in at the high end of its $35 million to $45 million range. The Company continues to expect fiscal year 2026 same store sales growth in the range of flat to 2%; and net store growth of approximately 160 to 190. The Company continues to expect to generate between $125 million and $145 million of free cash flow2 in fiscal year 2026. Note: 2026 Outlook excludes the impact of any potential M&A and divestitures other than the completed divestiture of the international car wash business. 1 Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for additional information on non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the most 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. 2 Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale leaseback transactions. Management believes free cash flow is a useful indicator of the Company’s ability to generate cash that can be used to repay debt, reinvest in the business, and return capital to shareholders. Forward-looking estimates of free cash flow are made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein.

All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management, impact of accounting standards and outlook, impairments, and expected market growth are “forward-looking statements” for the purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, among other things, any statements relating to: (i) the current geopolitical environment, including the impact, both direct and indirect, of global conflicts, government actions, such as proposed and enacted tariffs and governmental shutdowns; (ii) our strategy, outlook, and growth prospects; (iii) our operational and financial targets, dividend policy, and capital allocation strategy; (iv) general economic trends and trends in our industry and markets; (v) the risks and costs associated with the integration of, and or ability to integrate, our stores and business units successfully; (vi) our internal control over financial reporting; (vii) the proper application of generally accepted accounting principles in the preparation of our financial statements, which are highly complex and involve many subjective assumptions, estimates, and judgments; and (viii) the competitive environment in which we operate; and (ix) potential post-closing obligations and liabilities relating to the sale of our car wash businesses. Forward-looking statements may include, among others, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” or any other similar words. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results or outcomes could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Important factors that could cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in or implied by our forward-looking statements include the following: our ability to compete with other businesses in the automotive aftermarket industries; advances and changes in automotive technology; changes in consumer preferences, perceptions, and spending patterns; changes in general economic conditions and the geographic concentration of our locations; our ability to timely recruit and retain qualified accounting personnel; the need to rely on third-party service providers, which could result in significant costs; diversion of management’s time, attention and resources from strategic matters due to remediation efforts related to the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures; our inability to maintain an effective system of internal controls; our inability to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures or additional material weaknesses or other deficiencies in the future; the restatement of certain of our previously issued consolidated financial statements; the adverse effect of litigation; the risks and uncertainties, as they may be amended from time to time, set forth in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. There may be other factors not presently known to us or which we currently consider to be immaterial that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. Forward-looking statements made in this release speak only as of the date hereof. We do not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to any forward-looking statement or to report any events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. 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 2026 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 27, 2026, compared to the three and six months ended June 28, 2025.

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 for the three and six months ended June 27, 2026, and less than $1 million and $1 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, respectively. Adjusted Net Income attributable to participating securities used in the diluted earnings per share calculations was less than $1 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2026 and June 28, 2025. 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 27, 2025, filed with the SEC on May 19, 2026, for additional information on Adjusted EBITDA.
