Driven Brands Holdings Inc.
Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2020 Results

Charlotte, N.C. (March 10, 2021) - Driven Brands Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: DRVN) (“Driven Brands” or “the Company”) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 26, 2020.

For the fourth quarter, system-wide sales were $935.1 million, an increase of 24% versus the prior year, with 36% net store growth and a decline in same-store sales of 3.4%. Revenue was $288.5 million, an increase of 58% versus the prior year. Loss per share was $(0.06) for the fourth quarter, while adjusted earnings per share2 was $0.01.

For fiscal year 2020, system-wide sales were $3.4 billion, an increase of 16% versus the prior year, with 36% net store growth and a decline in same-store sales of 5.6%. Revenue was $904.2 million, an increase of 51% versus the prior year. Loss per share was $(0.04) for the fiscal year, while adjusted earnings per share2 was $0.42.

“Our fourth quarter results are a testament to the strength and diversity of the Driven Brands portfolio and the hard work the team has demonstrated throughout 2020,” said Jonathan Fitzpatrick, president and chief executive officer. “Our employees and franchisees continued to adapt to the ever-changing needs of the past year, meeting our expectations and delivering industry-leading results.

“Given our scale, the significant whitespace in this fragmented and needs-based industry, and our robust cash generation, I am confident that we are well positioned for growth in 2021 and to maximize long-term value for all of our stakeholders.”

Fourth Quarter Highlights
•The Company added 42 net new stores during the quarter, with the addition of 23 stores in the Maintenance segment, 13 stores in the Car Wash segment, and 6 stores in the Paint, Collision, and Glass segment.
•Same-store sales declined 3.4% for the quarter. Same-store sales increased in the Maintenance and Platform Services segments, while same-store sales declined in the Paint, Collision, and Glass segment as roadways were less congested due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which resulted in fewer accidents and therefore fewer collision repairs. This compares with consolidated same-store sales growth of 5.4% in the fourth quarter of 2019.
•Revenue increased 58% versus the prior year, primarily driven by the acquisition of International Car Wash Group (“ICWG”) in the third quarter of 2020, which added 939 stores to the portfolio.
•The Company recorded a net loss in the fourth quarter of $(7.5) million.
•Adjusted Net Income1 was $1.6 million, an increase of 3% versus the prior year.
•Adjusted EBITDA3 was $65.9 million, more than double that of the prior year.

Capital and Liquidity
The Company ended the fourth quarter with $188.4 million in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, as well as $155.8 million of undrawn capacity on its revolving credit facilities.

In January 2021, the Company sold 31.8 million shares of its common stock in its initial public offering and received net proceeds of $651.6 million. Those proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to repay $721.9 million of outstanding debt assumed in the ICWG acquisition. The remaining long-term debt portfolio totals $1.5 billion, and has a weighted average fixed annual interest rate of 4.0% and a weighted average remaining term of six years.

In February 2021, the Company’s underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase 4.8 million additional shares of common stock. The Company received net proceeds of $99.2 million, and used $43.0 million of such proceeds to purchase 2.1 million shares of common stock from existing stockholders. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds of $56.2 million for general corporate purposes.

Guidance
Long-term Targets
The following long-term targets reflect the Company’s expectations through 2024:
•Same-store sales: Low-single-digit growth
•Revenue: Low-double-digit growth
•Adjusted EBITDA3: Low-double-digit growth
•Adjusted Net Income1: Mid-to-high teens growth




Fiscal Year 2021
The Company is providing the following guidance for the fiscal year ending December 25, 2021:
•Net Store Growth:
◦Maintenance: 80 to 90 stores; driven by roughly equal parts franchise and company-operated store growth;
◦Car Wash: 20 to 30 stores; driven primarily by company-operated store growth; and
◦Paint, Collision, and Glass: 60 to 70 stores; driven by franchise store growth.
•Positive same-store sales growth
•Adjusted EBITDA3 as a percentage of revenue of approximately 23%, consistent with fiscal year 2020.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “likely,” “may,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and, in each case, their negative or other various or comparable terminology. 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, and expected market growth are forward-looking statements. In particular, forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to: (i) our strategy, outlook and growth prospects; (ii) our operational and financial targets and dividend policy; (iii) general economic trends and trends in the industry and markets; and (iv) the competitive environment in which we operate. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts but instead represent our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risk factors that are described under the section titled “Risk Factors” in our final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 19, 2021 pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available on its website at www.sec.gov. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or review publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the financial measures presented in this release in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release, including Adjusted Net Income1, Adjusted Earnings Per Share2, Adjusted EBITDA3 and Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA5. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful because they enable management, investors, and others to assess the operating performance of the Company and its segments. Please refer to the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information tables located in the financial supplement in this release.




This release includes forward-looking guidance for certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net Income1 and Adjusted EBITDA3. These measures will differ from net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, in ways similar to those described in the reconciliations at the end of this release. We do not provide guidance for net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, or a reconciliation of guidance for Adjusted Net Income1 or Adjusted EBITDA3 to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because the Company is not able to predict with reasonable certainty the amount or nature of all items that will be included in net income.


___________
1 “Adjusted Net Income” is calculated by eliminating from net income the adjustments described for Adjusted EBITDA, amortization related to acquired intangible assets and the tax effect of the adjustments. Please refer to Non-GAAP reconciliation tables located in the financial supplement in this release.
2 “Adjusted Earnings Per Share” represents Adjusted Net Income divided by weighted average shares (basic and diluted). Please refer to Non-GAAP reconciliation tables located in the financial supplement in this release.
3 “Adjusted EBITDA” represents earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, with further adjustments for acquisition-related costs, straight-line rent, equity compensation, loss on debt extinguishment and certain non-recurring, non-core, infrequent or unusual charges. Please refer to Non-GAAP reconciliation tables located in the financial supplement in this release.
4 “Segment Adjusted EBITDA” is defined as Adjusted EBITDA with a further adjustment for store opening costs. Corporate & Other costs are not allocated across segments. 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. Please refer to reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA located in the financial supplement in this release.
5 “Acquisition Adjusted EBITDA” represents Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable period as adjusted to give effect to management’s estimates of a full period of Adjusted EBITDA from any businesses acquired in such period as if such acquisitions had been completed on the first day of such period. Please refer to Non-GAAP reconciliation tables located in the financial supplement in this release.
