Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 6, 2026
Q2 FY26
TL;DR. Driven Brands reported Q2 revenue up 6.8% to $507.4M and Take 5 same-store sales up 3.6% (its 24th consecutive quarter of growth), but reiterated full-year 2026 guidance while signaling results will come in at the low end of the $430M-$460M adjusted EBITDA range amid continued lower-income consumer pressure, Middle East conflict impacts, and elevated restatement costs.
Bullish
- + Revenue grew 6.8% to $507.4M with system-wide sales up 5% to $1.6B and positive same-store sales across all segments.
- + Net leverage improved to 3.1x, on track to reach the 3x target by year-end 2026.
Bearish
- − Restatement costs now expected at the top end of the initial $35M-$45M range and are being pushed into Q3.
- − Take 5 lower-income consumer softness is expected to persist, pressuring sales growth in the back half of 2026.
- − Auto Glass Now adjusted EBITDA fell to $3.5M from $10.1M year-over-year, driven by a $4M out-of-period cost, and Mako remains under pressure.
- − Management cites headwinds from a pressured lower-income consumer, Middle East conflict-driven oil/gas price volatility, and broader industry supply chain pressure.
