Description of Business	Dec. 30, 2023
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business	Description of Business Description of Business Driven Brands Holdings Inc. together with its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation and is the parent holding company of Driven Brands, Inc. and Shine Holdco (UK) Limited (collectively, “Driven Brands”). Driven Brands is the largest automotive services company in North America with a growing and highly-franchised base of approximately 5,000 franchised, independently-operated, and company-operated locations across 49 U.S. states and 13 other countries. The Company has a portfolio of highly recognized brands, including Take 5 Oil Change ® , Take 5 Car Wash ® , Meineke Car Care Centers ® , MAACO ® , CARSTAR ® , Auto Glass Now ® , and 1-800-Radiator & A/C ® that compete in the automotive services industry. Initial Public Offering and Secondary Offering On January 14, 2021, the Company completed an initial public offering (the “IPO”) of approximately 32 million shares of common stock at $22 per share. On February 10, 2021, the Company’s underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase approximately 5 million additional shares of common stock. The Company received total proceeds of $761 million from these transactions, net of the underwriting discounts and commissions. The Company used the proceeds from the IPO, along with cash on hand, to fully repay the First Lien Term Loan, Second Lien Term Loan, and revolving credit facility assumed as part of the acquisition of International Car Wash Group (“ICWG”) in 2020 (collectively, the “Car Wash Senior Credit Facilities”), which totaled $725 million with interest and fees. The Company recognized a $46 million loss on debt extinguishment related to this settlement, primarily related to the write-off of unamortized discount. The Company cancelled the interest rate and cross currency swaps associated with these debt agreements as part of the settlement. The Company also used $43 million in proceeds to purchase approximately 2 million shares of common stock from certain of our existing shareholders. On August 2, 2021, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 for a secondary offering of approximately 12 million shares of common stock at $29.50 per share by certain of the Company’s stockholders, Driven Equity LLC and RC IV Cayman ICW Holdings LLC, each of which is a related party of Roark Capital Management, LLC. The Company did not sell any common stock in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the offering. On September 8, 2021, the underwriters for the secondary offering exercised a portion of their over-allotment option and purchased 881,393 additional shares of common stock. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the exercise of the over-allotment option. On September 12, 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form 424B7 for an underwritten secondary offering of 7 million shares of common stock at $32.19 per share by certain of the Company’s stockholders, Driven Equity LLC and RC IV Cayman ICW Holdings LLC, each of which is a related party of Roark Capital Management, LLC. The Company did not sell any common stock in the offering and did not receive any proceeds from the offering. After the secondary offering, related parties to Roark Capital Management, LLC held approximately 61% of our outstanding common stock. Tax Receivable Agreement The Company expects to be able to utilize certain tax benefits which are related to periods prior to the effective date of the Company’s IPO and are attributed to current and former shareholders. The Company previously entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement which provides our pre-IPO shareholders with the right to receive payment of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. and Canadian federal, state, local, and provincial income tax that the Company will actually realize. The Tax Receivable Agreement was effective as of the date of the Company’s IPO. The Company recorded a current tax receivable liability of $56 million and $53 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and a non-current tax receivable liability of $118 million as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. We made an initial payment of approximately $25 million under the Tax Receivable Agreement in January 2024. Stock Split and Equity Structure

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Fiscal Year The Company operates and reports financial information on a 52- or 53-week year with the fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December and fiscal quarters ending on the 13th Saturday of each quarter (or 14th Saturday when applicable with respect to the fourth fiscal quarter). Our 2023 and 2021 fiscal years ending December 30, 2023 and December 25, 2021 consisted of 52 weeks, respectively, and our 2022 fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 consisted of 53 weeks. The Car Wash segment is consolidated based on a calendar month end. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Driven Brands Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Significant items that are subject to estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill; income taxes; allowances for credit losses; valuation of derivatives; self-insurance claims; and stock-based compensation. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in its evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on historical experience, current conditions, and various other additional information, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Actual results could differ due to uncertainty inherent in the natures of these estimates. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted Cash The Company had total restricted cash of $39 million and $34 million at December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which primarily consisted of funds from franchisees pursuant to franchise agreements, the usage of which was restricted to advertising activities, and letters of credit collateral. Advertising funds are presented within advertising fund assets, restricted, on the consolidated balance sheet. Accounts and Notes Receivable The Company’s accounts receivable consists principally of amounts due related to product sales, centrally billed commercial fleet work, centrally billed insurance claims, advertising and franchise fees, rent due from franchisees, and training services. These receivables are generally due within 30 days of the period in which the corresponding sales occur and are classified as accounts and notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheet. Accounts receivable are reported at their estimated net realizable value. Notes receivable are primarily from franchisees and relate to financing arrangements for certain past due balances or to partially finance the acquisition of company-operated stores or re-franchising locations. The notes are typically collateralized by the assets of the store being purchased. Interest income recognized on these notes is included in supply and other revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company places notes receivable on a non-accrual status based on management’s determination if it is probable that the principal balance is not expected to be repaid per the contractual terms. When the Company places a note receivable on a non-accrual status, interest income recorded on the note is reversed through supply and other revenue. The Company recorded an immaterial amount of interest income related to its notes receivables during the years ended December 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 25, 2021. Allowance for Credit Losses Expected credit losses for uncollectible receivable balances consider both current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. Current conditions considered include predefined aging criteria, as well as specified events that indicate the balance due is not collectible. Reasonable and supportable forecasts used in determining the probability of future collection consider publicly available macroeconomic data and whether future credit losses are expected to differ from historical losses. Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company primarily purchases its oil, lubricants, soap and auto glass in bulk quantities to take advantage of volume discounts and to ensure inventory availability to complete services. Inventories are presented net of volume rebates. Property and Equipment, net Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the remaining lease term of the related asset. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. The following table presents the estimated useful lives for each asset category: Buildings and improvements 5 to 40 years Furniture and fixtures 5 to 7 years Store equipment 5 to 15 years Leasehold improvements 5 to 15 years Vehicles 3 to 5 years Computer equipment and software 3 to 5 years Cloud computing arrangements The Company capitalizes qualified cloud computing implementation costs associated with the application development stage and subsequently amortizes these costs over the term of the hosting arrangement and stated renewal period, if it is reasonably certain we will renew. Capitalized costs are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 30, 2023, we recorded cloud computing amortization of $2 million. As of December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021, no cloud computing arrangements were in service. Leases The lease standard requires the lessee in an operating lease to record a balance sheet gross-up upon lease commencement by recognizing an ROU asset and lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments over the expected lease term. The ROU asset and lease liability are derecognized in a manner that effectively yields a straight-line lease expense over the lease term. In addition to the changes to the lessee operating lease accounting requirements, the amendments also change the types of costs that can be capitalized related to a lease agreement for both lessees and lessors. Finance lease ROU assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the useful life of the leased asset or lease term. Finance lease liabilities are recognized using the effective interest method, with interest determined as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability. Interest associated with finance lease liabilities is recognized in interest expense, net, on the consolidated statements of operations and is included in changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. At contract inception, we determine whether the contract is or contains a lease based on the terms and conditions of the contract. Lease contracts are recognized on our consolidated balance sheet as ROU assets and lease liabilities; however, we have elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities on leases with terms of one year or less. Variable lease payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons are excluded from lease payments in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized as lease expense in the period the obligation is incurred. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we combine lease and non-lease components. The Company’s vehicle and equipment leases are comprised of a single lease component. If a lease does not provide enough information to determine the implicit interest rate in the agreements, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in calculating the lease liability. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate for each lease by reference to yield rates on collateralized debt issuances, which approximates borrowings on a collateralized basis, by companies of a similar credit rating as the Company, with adjustments for differences in years to maturity and implied company-specific credit spreads. Certain leases include renewal and termination options and the option to renew is under our sole discretion. These leases are included in the lease term in determining the ROU assets and liabilities when we are reasonably certain we will exercise the option. The ROU asset also includes initial direct costs paid less lease incentives received from the lessor. The Company also records lease income for subleases of franchise stores to certain franchisees. Lease income from sublease rentals is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets that are used in operations are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows. Recognition and measurement of a potential impairment is performed on assets grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level where identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is generally estimated by internal specialists based on the present value of anticipated future cash flows or, if required, with the assistance of independent third-party valuation specialists, depending on the nature of the assets or asset group. Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill is recorded when the aggregate purchase price of an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company's indefinite-lived intangibles are comprised of trademarks and tradenames. Management tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on the first day of the fourth quarter every year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. If a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the Company will record an impairment charge based on that difference. In performing a quantitative test for impairment of goodwill, we primarily use the income approach method of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method and the market approach that includes the guideline public company method to determine the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Significant assumptions used by management in estimating fair value under the discounted cash flow model include revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates, discount rates, and EBITDA margins. Other assumptions include operating expenses, overhead expenses, tax depreciation, and capital expenditures. Assumptions used to determine fair value under the guideline public company method include the selection of guideline companies and the valuation multiples applied. In the process of performing a quantitative test of our trade name intangible assets, we primarily use the relief of royalty method under the income approach method of valuation. Significant assumptions used to determine fair value under the relief of royalty method include future trends in sales, a royalty rate, and a discount rate to be applied to the forecast revenue stream. There is an inherent degree of uncertainty in preparing any forecast of future results. Future trends in system-wide sales are dependent to a significant extent on national, regional, and local economic conditions. Any decreases in customer traffic or average repair order due to these or other reasons could reduce gross sales at franchise locations, resulting in lower royalty and other payments from franchisees, as well as lower sales at company-operated locations. This could reduce the profitability of franchise locations, potentially impacting the ability of franchisees to make royalty payments owed to us when due, which could adversely impact our current cash flow from franchise operations and company-operated sites. The determination of an indefinite life is subject to reassessment if changes in facts and circumstances indicate the period of benefit has become finite. Refer to Note 7 for information regarding goodwill and intangible impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Definite Lived Intangible Assets The Company's definite lived intangible assets are comprised primarily of trademarks, franchise agreements, license agreements, membership agreements, customer relationships, and developed technology. Intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows: Estimated Useful Life Tradenames 2 to 3 years Franchise agreements 3 to 30 years License agreements 7 to 19 years Membership agreements 7 to 9 years Customer relationships 13 to 16 years Developed technology 5 to 8 years The lives of definite lived intangibles are reviewed and reduced if changes in their planned use occurs. If changes in the assets planned use is identified, management reviews the useful life and carrying value of the asset to assess the recoverability of the assets if facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability test requires management to compare the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the intangible asset or asset group to the carrying value. If the carrying amounts of the intangible asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Management reviews business combinations to identify intangible assets, which are typically tradenames and customer relationships, and value the assets based on information and assumptions available to us at the date of purchase utilizing income and market approaches to determine fair value. Assets Held for Sale Assets currently available for sale and expected to be sold within one year are classified as assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets. During the year ended December 30, 2023, the Company transferred $301 million of assets from property and equipment to assets held for sale. Refer to Note 7 for additional information. There were no assets designated as held for sale as of December 31, 2022. Accrued Liabilities Included within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet were $50 million and $58 million of accrued payroll, bonus, and benefits at December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Derivative instruments We utilize derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate and foreign exchange exposure. For derivatives instruments where we have not elected hedge accounting, the change in fair value is recognized in earnings. For derivative instruments where we have elected hedge accounting, the changes in the derivative and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risks are recognized in the same line within our consolidated statement of operations. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recorded to the statement of operations when the hedged item impacts earnings. Derivatives designated as hedge accounting are assessed at inception and on an ongoing basis whether the instrument is, and will continue to be, highly effective in offsetting cash flow or fair value of the hedged item and whether it remains probable the forecasted transaction will occur. Changes in the fair value for derivative instruments that do not qualify as hedge accounting are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Refer to Note 12 for additional information regarding our derivative assets and liabilities. Revenue Recognition Franchise royalties and fees Franchisees are required to pay an upfront license fee prior to the opening of a location. The initial license payment received is recognized ratably over the life of the franchise agreement. Franchisees will also pay continuing royalty fees, at least monthly, based on a percentage of the store level retail sales or a flat amount, depending on the brand. The royalty income is recognized as the underlying sales occur. In addition to the initial fees and royalties, the Company also recognizes revenue associated with development fees charged to franchisees, which are recognized as income over the life of the associated franchise agreement. Development fees relate to the right of a franchisee to open additional locations in an agreed upon territory. Company-operated store sales Company-operated store sales are recognized, net of sales discounts, upon delivery of services and the service-related product. Customers also have the ability to purchase car wash club memberships that allow a customer unlimited washes for the duration of the membership. The Company recognizes revenue from these membership programs on a straight-line basis over the membership term. Sales proceeds for gift cards are recognized as a contract liability; the liability is reduced and revenue is recognized when the gift card is subsequently redeemed for services. Breakage on unredeemed gift card balances is estimated and recognized as revenue using the proportional method based on historical redemption patterns. The states and municipalities in which the Company operates impose sales tax on all of the Company’s nonexempt revenue. The Company collects the sales tax from its customers and remits the entire amount to the appropriate taxing authority. The Company’s policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted from net revenue and direct costs. The Company accrues sales tax liabilities as it records sales, maintaining the amount owed to the taxing authorities in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Independently-operated store sales and expenses Independently-operated store sales and expenses consist of our car wash sites outside North America. The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling its performance obligation of providing car wash and other vehicle cleaning services but engages a third-party to provide site labor and operate these stores on its behalf. The Company pays a commission to these third-parties to perform this service. Revenue from car washes at these locations is recorded in independently-operated store sales at the time the service is performed, while the commissions paid to the third-parties are recorded in independently-operated store expenses. Advertising contributions Franchised and company-operated stores are generally required to contribute advertising dollars according to the terms of their respective contract (typically based on a percentage of sales) that are used for, among other activities, advertising the brand on a national and local basis, as determined by the brand’s franchisor. The Company’s franchisees make their contributions to a marketing fund which in turn administers and distributes their advertising contributions directly to the franchisor. This advertising fee revenue is recognized as the underlying sales occur. Advertising expenses are recorded as incurred. Revenues and expenses related to these advertising collections and expenditures are reported on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations. The assets related to the advertising fund are considered restricted and disclosed as such on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Any excess or deficiency of advertising fee revenue compared to advertising expenditures is recognized in the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year. Any excess of revenue over expenditures is recognized only to the extent of previously recognized deficits. When advertising revenues exceed the related advertising expenses and there is no recovery of a previously recognized deficit of advertising revenues, advertising costs are accrued up to the amount of revenues. Supply and other revenue Supply and other revenue includes revenue related to product sales, vendor incentive revenue, insurance licensing fees, store leases, software maintenance fees, and automotive training services revenue. Supply and other revenue is recognized once title of goods is transferred to franchisees or other independent parties, as the sales of the related products occur, or ratably. Vendor incentive revenue is recognized as sales of the related product occur. Insurance licensing fee revenue is generated when the Company is acting as an agent on behalf of its franchisees and is recognized once title of goods is transferred to franchisees. The insurance license revenue is presented net of any related expense with any residual revenue reflecting the management fee the Company charges for the program. Store lease revenue is recognized ratably over the underlying property lease term. Software maintenance fee revenue is recognized monthly in connection with providing and servicing software. Automotive training services are provided to third party shop owner/operators in accordance with agreed upon contract terms. These contracts may be for one-time shop visits or agreements to receive access to education and training programs for multiple years. For one-time shop visits, revenue is recognized at the time the service is rendered. For the multi-year education and training contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer: The Company has elected a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less. The Company records contract assets, included in deferred commissions on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year and if such costs are material. Commission expenses, a primary cost associated with the sale of franchise licenses, are amortized to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations ratably over the life of the associated franchise agreement. Contract Balances The Company generally records a contract liability when cash is provided for a contract with a customer before the Company has completed its contractual performance obligation. This includes cash payments for initial franchise fees as well as upfront payments on store owner consulting and education contracts. Franchise fees and shop owner consulting contract payments are recognized over the life of the agreement, which range from five three Company-Operated Store Expenses Company-operated store expenses consist of payroll and benefit costs for employees at company-operated locations, as well as rent, costs associated with procuring materials from suppliers, and other store-level operating costs. The Company receives volume rebates based on a variety of factors which are included in accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and accounted for as a reduction of company-operated store expenses as they are earned. Sales discounts received from suppliers are recorded as a reduction of the cost of inventory. Advanced rebates are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are accounted for as a reduction of company-operated store expenses as they are earned over the term of the supply agreement. In addition, the Company includes subleasing expense associated with the subleasing of store buildings to franchisees within supply and other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Store Opening Costs Store opening costs consist of employee, facility, and grand opening marketing costs that company-operated stores incur prior to opening. The Company typically incurs store opening costs when opening new company-operated stores and when converting independently branded, acquired company-operated stores to one of its brands. These expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Equity-based Compensation The Company recognizes expense related to equity-based compensation awards over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the award on the grant-date. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur. Shares Repurchased We record shares repurchased on their trade date and reduce shareholders’ equity and increase accounts payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Shares repurchased are retired, and the excess of repurchase price over the par value of the shares is charged to retained earnings. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities are categorized, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Observable market data, when available, is required to be used in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; or Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, inventory, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The notes receivable carrying value also approximates fair value due to interest rates that approximate market rates for agreements with similar maturities and credit quality. The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency derivative instruments is derived from valuation models, which use Level 2 observable inputs such as quoted market prices, interest rates, and forward yield curves. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on Level 2 inputs using discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for interest rates, credit risk and contractual terms of the debt agreements. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are summarized as follows: Items Measured at Fair Value at December 30, 2023 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Total Derivative assets, recorded in other assets — 285 285 Derivative liabilities, recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities — 493 493 Items Measured at Fair Value at December 31, 2022 (in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Total Mutual fund investments held in rabbi trust $ 758 $ — $ 758 Derivative assets, recorded in prepaid and other assets — 158 158 Derivative assets, recorded in other assets — 2,148 2,148 Derivative liabilities, recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities — 5,005 5,005 The carrying value and estimated fair value of total long-term debt were as follows: December 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 (in thousands) Carrying value Estimated fair value Carrying value Estimated fair value Long-term debt $ 2,977,996 $ 2,800,011 $ 2,784,175 $ 2,477,456 Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax laws and rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. The effects on deferred tax assets and liabilities of subsequent changes in the tax laws and rates are recognized in income during the year the changes are enacted. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized on the consolidated financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with tax authorities. The Company records any interest and penalties associated as additional income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Deferred Financing Costs The costs related to the issuance of debt are presented in the accompanying balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt or within other assets for deferred financing costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility and amortized over the terms of the related debt agreements as interest expense using the effective interest method. Insurance Reserves The Company is partially self-insured for employee medical coverage. The Company records a liability for the ultimate settlement of claims incurred as of the balance sheet date based upon estimates provided by the third-party that administers the claims on the Company’s behalf. The Company also reviews historical payment trends and knowledge of specific claims in determining the reasonableness of the reserve. Adjustments to the reserve are made when the facts and circumstances of the underlying claims change. If the actual settlements of the medical claims are greater than the estimated amount, additional expense will be recognized. Foreign Currency Translation We translate assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss). Transactions resulting in foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting . This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Dispositions	Acquisitions and Dispositions The Company strategically acquires companies and assets to increase its footprint and offer products and services that diversify its existing offerings, primarily through asset purchase agreements. These acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method, whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their fair values as of the date of the acquisition with the remaining amount recorded in goodwill. 2023 Acquisitions The Company completed six acquisitions in the Maintenance segment during the year ended December 30, 2023, representing six sites. The aggregate cash consideration for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired and liabilities assumed, was approximately $9 million. The Company completed three acquisitions in the Car Wash segment during the year ended December 30, 2023, representing four sites. The aggregate cash consideration for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired and liabilities assumed, was approximately $15 million. The Company completed two acquisitions in the Paint, Collision & Glass segment during the year ended December 30, 2023, representing two sites. The aggregate cash consideration for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired and liabilities assumed, was approximately $6 million. The Company estimated the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition based on information currently available. As the Company finalizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, additional purchase price adjustments may be recorded during the measurement period. The provisional amounts for assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2023 acquisitions are as follows: 2023 Maintenance Segment (in thousands) Maintenance Assets: Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 3,693 Property and equipment, net 3,855 Assets acquired 7,548 Liabilities: Accrued expenses and other liabilities 275 Operating lease liabilities 3,394 Total liabilities assumed 3,669 Cash consideration, net of cash acquired 8,108 Deferred consideration 490 Total consideration, net of cash acquired $ 8,598 Goodwill $ 4,719 2023 Car Wash Segment (in thousands) Car Wash Assets: Operating lease right-of-use assets $ 1,249 Property and equipment, net 11,181 Deferred tax asset 17 Assets acquired 12,447 Liabilities: Accrued expenses and other liabilities 11 Operating lease liabilities 1,220 Total liabilities assumed 1,231 Cash consideration, net of cash acquired 15,293 Deferred consideration 25 Total consideration, net of cash acquired $ 15,318 Goodwill $ 4,102 2023 Paint, Collision & Glass Segment (in thousands) Paint, Collision & Glass Assets: Inventory $ 35 Property and equipment, net 667 Assets acquired 702 Cash consideration, net of cash acquired 4,947 Deferred consideration 695 Total consideration, net of cash acquired $ 5,642 Goodwill $ 4,940 Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of net assets acquired and includes the expected benefit of synergies within the existing segments and intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. Goodwill, which was allocated to the Car Wash, Maintenance, and Paint, Collision & Glass segments, is substantially all deductible for income tax purposes. 2022 Acquisitions The Company completed 22 acquisitions in the Car Wash segment during the year ended December 31, 2022, representing 35 sites, which were deemed to be business combinations. The aggregate cash consideration for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was approximately $350 million. On June 14, 2022, the Car Wash segment acquired Jimmy Clean Car Wash, which was comprised of 3 sites for a total consideration of $32 million. On July 6, 2022, the Car Wash segment acquired Speedy Shine Express Car Wash, which was comprised of 2 sites for a total consideration of $34 million. On October 5, 2022, the Car Wash segment acquired Quick & Clean Car Wash, which was comprised of 4 sites for a total consideration of $38 million. The Company completed 6 acquisitions in the Maintenance segment during the year ended December 31, 2022, representing 14 sites, each individually immaterial, which were deemed to be business combinations. The aggregate cash consideration for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired and liabilities assumed, was $25 million. The Company completed 10 acquisitions in the Paint, Collision & Glass segment during the year ended December 31, 2022 representing 174 sites, which were deemed to be business combinations. The aggregate cash consideration for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $406 million. On December 30, 2021 the Company acquired AGN, which was comprised of 79 sites at the time of the Company’s acquisition, for a total consideration of $171 million. The purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $49 million of intangible assets, $37 million of which was a trade name intangible asset. The fair value of the acquired trade name was estimated using an income approach, specifically, the relief-from-royalty method. The Company utilized assumptions with respect to forecasted sales, the discount rate, and the royalty rate in determining the fair value of the acquired trade name. The purchase price allocation was considered complete for AGN as of December 31, 2022. On April 28, 2022, the Company acquired All Star Glass (“ASG”), which was comprised of 31 sites at the time of the acquisition for a total consideration of $36 million. On July 6, 2022, the Company acquired K&K Glass, which was comprised of 8 sites for a total consideration of $40 million.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Asset Impairment Charges	Asset Impairment Charges 2023 Goodwill and Asset Impairment Charges During the year ended December 30, 2023, management performed an initial strategic review of the U.S. car wash operations, which included, but was not limited to, an evaluation of the following: store performance, the competitive landscape, revenue and expense optimization opportunities, and capital requirements. As a result of this strategic review, management approved the closure of 29 stores, halted the opening of new company-operated stores, and began marketing property and equipment for sale that will not be utilized by the Company. These actions resulted in impairment charges of $122 million relating to property and equipment, including assets held for sale, and right-of-use assets during the year ended December 30, 2023 and the transfer of $301 million of assets from property and equipment to assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 30, 2023. Management expects the sale of these assets to occur over the next twelve months. As a result of the evaluation performed above, as well as other qualitative and quantitative factors, including a decline in the stock price during the third quarter of 2023, management determined a triggering event had occurred requiring a step one quantitative analysis of the Company’s goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of September 30, 2023. Based on the results of our interim impairment analysis, we concluded the carrying value of the U.S. Car Wash reporting unit exceeded its fair value, and we recorded a full goodwill impairment charge of $851 million during the year ended December 30, 2023. The fair value of the remaining reporting units exceeded their carrying amounts, indicating no goodwill impairment. The fair values of each reporting unit were determined using a combination of the income approach and market approach valuation methodologies. On October 1, 2023, the first day of the fourth quarter, the Company performed its annual impairment assessment, which did not result in additional impairments. The Company will continue to monitor the other reporting units. Reporting units that do not perform in accordance with expectations could result in impairment charges to other reporting units in future periods, including International Car Wash and Maintenance-Repair, primarily comprised of the Meineke brand. 2022 Trade Name Impairment Charges

Starting with the second full calendar quarter after the funding of the Term Loan Facility, the Term Loan Facility requires scheduled quarterly payments in amounts equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Facility, with the balance due at maturity. Car Wash Senior Credit Facilities As part of the ICWG acquisition in 2020, the Company assumed $532 million of First Lien Term Loan debt. The loan was paid off in January 2021, and as a result the remaining unamortized discount was written-off and included loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statement of operations in the first quarter of 2021. In addition, the Company also assumed $175 million of Second Lien Term Loan debt. The loan was paid off in January 2021, and as result the remaining unamortized discount was written-off and included loss on debt extinguishment in the consolidated statement of operations in the first quarter of 2021. The Company also assumed a first lien revolving credit facility from ICWG, the outstanding balance of $18 million was paid off in January 2021 and the credit facility was terminated. Guarantees and Covenants of the Notes Substantially all of the assets of the Company, including most of the domestic and certain of the foreign revenue-generating assets, which principally consist of franchise-related agreements, certain company-operated stores, certain product distribution agreements, intellectual property and license agreements for the use of intellectual property, are owned by subsidiaries of the Borrower and the Issuer, and are pledged to secure the Notes and indebtedness under the Credit Agreement (together the "Indebtedness"). The restrictions placed on the Issuer and its subsidiaries require that interest and principal (if any) on the Securitization Notes be paid prior to any residual distributions to the Company, and amounts are segregated weekly to ensure appropriate funds are reserved to pay the quarterly interest and principal (if any) amounts due. The amount of weekly cash flow that exceeds all expenses and obligations of the Issuer and its subsidiaries (including required reserve amounts) is generally remitted to the Company in the form of a dividend. The Company’s Indebtedness is subject to certain quantitative covenants related to debt service coverage and leverage ratios. In addition, the agreements related to the Indebtedness also contain various affirmative and negative operating and financial reporting covenants, which are customary for such debt instruments. These covenants, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuer and its subsidiaries to sell assets; engage in mergers, acquisitions, and other business combinations; declare dividends or redeem or repurchase capital stock; incur, assume, or permit to exist additional indebtedness or guarantees; make loans and investments; incur liens; and enter into transactions with affiliates. In the event that certain covenants are not met, the Indebtedness may become fully due and payable on an accelerated schedule. In addition, the Borrower and the Issuer may voluntarily prepay, in part or in full subject to certain pre-payment premiums or make-whole obligations. As of December 30, 2023, the Co-Issuers were in material compliance with all covenants under the agreements discussed above.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives	Derivatives The Company utilizes derivative financial instruments primarily to hedge its exposure to changes in interest rates and movements in foreign currency exchange rates. All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. The Company does not use financial instruments or derivatives for any trading or other speculative purposes. Derivatives Designated as Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk In July 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate swap, which was designated as a hedge against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing the exposure to variability in cash flows relating to either interest payments or total proceeds on a forecasted issuance of long-term debt. The notional amount of this hedge was $275 million. As of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income was $8 million and $10 million, respectively. We reclassified $2 million and less than $1 million into interest expense during the years ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. This gain will be recognized ratably over the 5 year life of the contract beginning in October 2022. Historically, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to hedge against the changes in cash flows associated with changes in the one-month LIBOR, the benchmark interest rate being hedged, associated with interest payments on the first $300 million of the Company's First and Second Lien Term Loans, respectively. See Note 9 for additional details on the Company’s debt agreements. In January 2021, the company officially terminated the interest rate swaps associated with the debt agreements and recorded an immaterial amount of expense related to the cancellation of this instrument. Derivatives Designated as Fair Value Hedge of Exchange Rate Risk In December 2021, the Company entered into a cross currency swap as an economic hedge against exposure to changes in the Canadian dollar in connection with its Canadian securitization transaction, which is discussed in greater detail in Note 9 . The cross currency swap has an $88 million notional and a settlement date in July 2027. Throughout the term of the swap agreements, the Company pays interest at a fixed rate in Canadian dollars and receives interest at a fixed rate in U.S. dollars. The Company recorded a loss of $1 million and a gain of $7 million relating to foreign currency derivative contracts in other comprehensive income and as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The Company expects an immaterial amount to be reclassified from other comprehensive income to (gain) loss on foreign currency transactions, net in the consolidated statement of operations during the next 12 months. The Company will continue to assess the effectiveness of the hedge on a quarterly basis. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges of Exchange Rate Risk To manage exposure to changes with our foreign currency intercompany transactions, the Company enters into short term foreign currency forward contracts. We have foreign currency derivative contracts with a notional value of $77 million. The settlements can be rolled into the next periods trade if desired. As part of the acquisition of ICWG, the Company assumed three cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the interest rate risk and exchange rate risk associated with the variable interest, USD-denominated senior loans raised by ICWG. The cross-currency interest rate swaps had a total notional amount of $235 million and were scheduled to terminate in October 2021. In January 2021, the company officially terminated the cross currency swaps associated with the debt agreements and recorded an immaterial amount of expense related to the cancellation of this instrument. Throughout the term of the swap agreements, the Company paid interest at a fixed rate and received interest at the three-month LIBOR rate.

Counterparty credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is in an asset position, the counterparty has a liability to the Company, which creates credit risk for the Company. The Company attempts to minimize this risk by selecting counterparties with investment grade credit ratings, limiting its exposure to any single counterparty and regularly monitoring its market position with each counterparty.

Equity [Abstract]
Equity Agreements and Incentive Equity Plan	Equity Agreements and Incentive Equity Plan On April 17, 2015, Driven Investor LLC established the Driven Investor LLC Incentive Equity Plan (the “Equity Plan”). The Equity Plan, among other things, established the ownership of certain membership units in Driven Investor LLC and defined the distribution rights and allocations of profits and losses associated with those membership units. Additionally, the Equity Plan calls for certain restrictions regarding transfers of units, corporate governance, and Board of Director representation. In April 2015, Driven Investor LLC established certain profits interest units as part of the award agreements (the “Award Agreements”) granted pursuant to the Equity Plan. The Award Agreements provide for grants of certain profits interest units to employees, directors or consultants of Driven Investor LLC and Subsidiaries. For both the Profits Interest Time Units and Profits Interest Performance Units, if the grantee’s continuous service terminated for any reason, the grantee forfeits all right, title, and interest in and to any unvested units as of the date of such termination, unless the grantee’s continuous service period is terminated by the Company without cause within the six-month period prior to the date of consummation of the change in control and the other vesting criteria are achieved as a result. In addition, the grantee forfeits all right, title, and interest in and to any vested units if the grantee was terminated for cause, breaches any post-termination covenants, or fail to execute any general release required to be executed. On January 6, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and, effective January 14, 2021, the Company’s shareholders adopted and approved the Plan. The Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, other stock-based awards, other cash-based awards, or any combination of the foregoing to current and prospective employees and directors of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company and its affiliates. The maximum number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan is 12,533,984 shares. In conjunction with the closing of the IPO, our Board granted awards under the Plan to certain of our employees, representing an aggregate of 5,582,522 shares of common stock. Profits Interest Units Prior to IPO, the Parent’s equity awards included Profits Interest Units as noted above. There were two forms of Profits Interest - Time Units and Performance Units. Time Units generally vested in five installments of 20% on each of the first five The Performance Units were to vest immediately prior to the effective date of a consummated sale transaction or qualified public offering, including the IPO (a “Liquidity Event”) and the achievement of the other vesting criteria. The percentage of vesting was based on achieving certain performance criteria. No vesting occurred as a result of the IPO as the other vesting criteria were not achieved. In connection with the IPO, the Performance Units were exchanged for performance-based restricted stock awards. Employees who received IPO Options had the same vesting conditions for the performance-based portion of the IPO Options as the performance-based restricted stock awards. In October 2023, the Company converted 2,963,829 performance-based restricted stock awards to time-based awards that vest in full on April 30, 2025, subject to a continuous service requirement through the vesting date.

There was approximately $3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the performance-based restricted stock awards at December 30, 2023. For the years ended December 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021, no compensation cost was recognized for the performance-based restricted stock awards given the performance criteria was not met or probable. Certain former employees continued to hold performance-based awards after the IPO. Restricted Stock Units and Performance Stock Units The Company has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”). Awards are eligible to vest provided that the employee remains in continuous service on each vesting date. The RSUs vest ratably in three installments on each of the first three For RSUs and PSUs with a performance condition the grant date fair value is based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. For PSUs with a market condition, the Company estimates the grant date fair value using the Monte Carlo valuation model. For all PSUs, the Company reassesses the probability of the achievement of the performance condition at each reporting period. The range of assumptions used for issued PSUs with a market condition valued using the Monte Carlo model were as follows: For the Year Ended December 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 25, 2021 Annual dividend yield —% —% —% Expected term (years) 2.6-2.8 2.7-3.0 3.0 Risk-free interest rate 3.65%-4.51% 2.32%-3.05% 0.2% Expected volatility 37.9%-38.8% 40.9%-43.9% 41.2% Correlation to the index peer group 60.2%-60.3% 50.7%-59.5% 65.9% There was approximately $13 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs at December 30, 2023, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.1 years. In addition, there was approximately $4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested PSUs, which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.9 years. The following are the restricted stock units and performance stock units granted in conjunction with or after the IPO: Unvested Time Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value, per unit Unvested Performance Units Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value, per unit Outstanding as of January 14, 2021 (pre-IPO) — $ — — $ — Granted post-IPO 81,160 23.11 144,735 24.52 Forfeited/Cancelled (18,735) 22.18 (37,439) 24.36 Outstanding as of December 25, 2021 62,425 $ 23.38 107,296 $ 24.58 Granted 300,067 27.96 488,488 32.39 Forfeited/Cancelled (20,424) 26.18 (46,024) 29.22 Vested (20,465) 23.41 — — Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 321,603 $ 27.49 549,760 $ 31.13 Granted 716,904 20.29 647,359 30.54 Forfeited/Cancelled (126,822) 27.87 (283,131) 31.06 Performance achievement (1) — — 13,808 24.69 Vested (105,149) 27.31 (82,848) 24.69 Outstanding as of December 30, 2023 806,536 $ 21.07 844,948 $ 31.24 (1) Reflects the number of awards achieved above target levels for shares vested in the period. Stock Options The Company also established and granted stock options, which vest provided that the employee remains in continuous service on the vesting date. The stock options were granted at the stock price of the Company on the grant date and permit the holder to exercise them for 10 years from the grant date. In October 2023, the Company converted 2,438,643 performance-based options to time-based awards that vest in full on April 30, 2025, subject to a continuous service requirement through the vesting date. The remaining stock options generally vest on the fourth anniversary of the grant date or ratably over a five years vesting period, but such vesting could accelerate for certain options based on certain conditions under the award. The fair value of all time based units granted or modified was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following weighted-average assumptions for each of fiscal 2023 and 2021: For the Year Ended December 30, 2023 December 25, 2021 Annual dividend yield —% —% Weighted-average expected life (years) 6.5 7.0 Risk-free interest rate 4.82% 1.3% Expected volatility 49.8% 40.1% The expected term of the incentive units is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee behavior. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant date. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of guideline public entities that are similar to the Company, as the Company does not have sufficient historical transactions of its own shares to calculate expected volatility. As of December 30, 2023, the Company does not intend to pay dividends or distributions in the future. The following are the stock options granted in conjunction with or after the IPO: Time Based Stock Options Outstanding Weighted Average Exercise Price Performance Based Stock Options Outstanding Weighted Average Exercise Price Outstanding as of January 14, 2021 $ 198,984 $ 22.00 — $ — Granted post-IPO 3,587,575 26.75 3,621,719 22.00 Forfeited/Cancelled (77,294) 22.00 (152,239) 22.00 Exercised (23,705) 21.30 — — Outstanding as of December 25, 2021 3,685,560 $ 26.63 3,469,480 $ 22.00 Forfeited/Cancelled (68,510) 19.50 (190,544) 22.00 Exercised (23,721) 21.70 — — Outstanding as of December 31, 2022 3,593,329 $ 26.79 3,278,936 $ 22.00 Modified 2,438,643 4.15 (2,438,643) 7.32 Forfeited/Cancelled (448,028) 16.01 (553,038) 7.14 Exercised (270,376) 22.00 — — Outstanding as of December 30, 2023 5,313,568 $ 17.64 287,255 $ 7.53 Exercisable as of December 30, 2023 634,594 $ 21.91 — $ — There was approximately $20 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested stock options at December 30, 2023, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.0 years. There was less than $1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the performance-based stock options at December 30, 2023. For the years ended December 30, 2023, December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021, no compensation cost was recognized for the performance-based stock options given the performance criteria was not met or probable. Certain former employees continued to hold performance-based options after the IPO. Employee Stock Purchase Plan On January 6, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and effective January 14, 2021, the Company’s shareholders adopted and approved the ESPP. On March 22, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "International ESPP"). The ESPP and International ESPP provide employees of certain designated subsidiaries of the Company with an opportunity to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount, subject to certain limitations set forth in the ESPP and International ESSP. The ESPP and International ESSP plans authorized the issuance of 1,790,569 shares of the Company’s common stock. For the year ended December 30, 2023, total contributions to the ESPP were $1 million and 82,546 shares of common stock were purchased. For the year ended December 31, 2022, total contributions to the ESPP were $1 million and 143,707 shares of common stock were purchased.

In addition, the Company’s participating securities are related to certain restricted stock awards issued to Section 16 officers which include non-forfeitable dividend rights. The Company excluded 1,284,454, 4,661,504, and 4,007,164 shares for the years ended December 30, 2023, December 31, 2022, and December 25, 2021, respectively. For the year ended December 30, 2023, we had net losses from operations. As a result, no potentially dilutive securities were included in the denominator for computing diluted loss per share as their inclusion would be antidilutive. The following securities were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding because the effect would be antidilutive: Year Ended Number of securities (in thousands) December 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 25, 2021 Restricted stock units 483 51 — Stock Options 1,740 2,003 2,036 Total 2,223 2,054 2,036

As of December 30, 2023, the Company had pre-tax federal operating loss carry forwards of $152 million, of which $34 million are subject to expiration by 2040 and the remainder is not subject to expiration. State tax effected net operating loss carryforwards were $13 million for which portions begin to expire in fiscal year 2024. Some of the federal net operating losses are subject to certain limitations under IRC Sect. 382, however, the Company believes that these losses are more likely than not to be utilized. As of December 30, 2023, the Company had pre-tax foreign operating loss carryforwards of $29 million for which portions of the operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in fiscal year 2024, while others are indefinite lived and not subject to expiration. As of December 30, 2023, the Company had $1.0 billion of goodwill that was deductible for tax purposes. The Company has designated the undistributed earnings of its foreign operations as indefinitely reinvested and as a result the Company does not provide for deferred income taxes on the unremitted earnings of these subsidiaries. As of December 30, 2023, the determination of the amount of such unrecognized deferred tax liability is not practicable. At December 30, 2023, the Company had less than $1 million of unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the change in the accrual for unrecognized income tax benefits is as follows: (in thousands) December 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Balance at beginning of period $ 1,728 $ 1,909 Reduction for prior year tax positions (351) (76) Reduction for settlements (1,037) — Translation adjustments 33 (105) Balance at end of period $ 373 $ 1,728 The unrecognized income tax benefits could affect the Company's effective tax rate, if recognized. However, it is not expected that any material portion of the unrecognized tax benefit will reverse over the next twelve months. The Company had less than $1 million of aggregate accrued interest and penalties at both December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company had a total of $2 million in Work Opportunity Credits available for the 2023 fiscal year and is estimating to utilize the full amount during the current year. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S., Canada, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Examinations by various taxing authorities covering years 2018 to 2021 are on-going. The Company is generally subject to income tax examinations for years 2017 through 2022 and believes appropriate provisions for all outstanding matters have been made for all jurisdictions and open years. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was enacted on December 22, 2017 and brought about additional tax provision to consider by multinational companies. The Company's policy is to account for global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") as a period cost in the year the tax is incurred and, therefore, does not record any taxes related to GILTI. For fiscal year 2023, the Company estimated net GILTI income of $9 million and a IRC Sec. 163(j) interest limitation of $98 million. Other provisions, such as Base Erosion and Anti-abuse Tax (“BEAT”) and Foreign Derived Intangible Income (“FDII”) are relevant to the Company but had insignificant income tax impact for 2023.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies We are subject to various lawsuits, administrative proceedings, audits, and claims. Some of these lawsuits purport to be class actions and/or seek substantial damages. We are required to record an accrual for litigation loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Management regularly assesses our insurance deductibles, analyzes litigation information with our attorneys, and evaluates our loss experience in connection with pending legal proceedings. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable and the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated. When a loss is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate within the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuit or claim. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability and revise our accruals, if necessary. Legal fees and expenses associated with the defense of all of our litigation are expensed as such fees and expenses are incurred. Because of uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ materially from our estimates. Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System v. Driven Brands Holdings Inc., et al. – On December 22, 2023, Genesee County Employees’ Retirement System (“Plaintiff”) filed a putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina against the Company as well as a current and a former Company executive (the “Individual Defendants”) alleging violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act, as well as violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Individual Defendants. Plaintiff purports to represent a class of stockholders who purchased Company shares between October 27, 2021 and August 1, 2023. The class period ended on February 20, 2024. The Company disputes the allegations of wrongdoing and intends to vigorously defend against the action. No assessment as to the likelihood or range of any potential adverse outcome has been made as of the date of this filing. Other than the matter described above, as of December 30, 2023, there are no current proceedings or litigation matters involving the Company or its property that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for a particular reporting period.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	Dec. 30, 2023
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Fiscal Year	Fiscal Year The Company operates and reports financial information on a 52- or 53-week year with the fiscal year ending on the last Saturday in December and fiscal quarters ending on the 13th Saturday of each quarter (or 14th Saturday when applicable with respect to the fourth fiscal quarter). Our 2023 and 2021 fiscal years ending December 30, 2023 and December 25, 2021 consisted of 52 weeks, respectively, and our 2022 fiscal year ending December 31, 2022 consisted of 53 weeks. The Car Wash segment is consolidated based on a calendar month end.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Driven Brands Holdings Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements. Significant items that are subject to estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill; income taxes; allowances for credit losses; valuation of derivatives; self-insurance claims; and stock-based compensation. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist in its evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on historical experience, current conditions, and various other additional information, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Actual results could differ due to uncertainty inherent in the natures of these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. These investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted Cash
Accounts and Notes Receivable	Accounts and Notes Receivable The Company’s accounts receivable consists principally of amounts due related to product sales, centrally billed commercial fleet work, centrally billed insurance claims, advertising and franchise fees, rent due from franchisees, and training services. These receivables are generally due within 30 days of the period in which the corresponding sales occur and are classified as accounts and notes receivable, net on the consolidated balance sheet. Accounts receivable are reported at their estimated net realizable value.
Allowance for Credit Losses	Allowance for Credit Losses Expected credit losses for uncollectible receivable balances consider both current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future conditions. Current conditions considered include predefined aging criteria, as well as specified events that indicate the balance due is not collectible. Reasonable and supportable forecasts used in determining the probability of future collection consider publicly available macroeconomic data and whether future credit losses are expected to differ from historical losses.
Inventory	Inventory Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company primarily purchases its oil, lubricants, soap and auto glass in bulk quantities to take advantage of volume discounts and to ensure inventory availability to complete services. Inventories are presented net of volume rebates.
Property and Equipment, net	Property and Equipment, net
Leases	Leases The lease standard requires the lessee in an operating lease to record a balance sheet gross-up upon lease commencement by recognizing an ROU asset and lease liability equal to the present value of the lease payments over the expected lease term. The ROU asset and lease liability are derecognized in a manner that effectively yields a straight-line lease expense over the lease term. In addition to the changes to the lessee operating lease accounting requirements, the amendments also change the types of costs that can be capitalized related to a lease agreement for both lessees and lessors. Finance lease ROU assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the useful life of the leased asset or lease term. Finance lease liabilities are recognized using the effective interest method, with interest determined as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability. Interest associated with finance lease liabilities is recognized in interest expense, net, on the consolidated statements of operations and is included in changes in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. At contract inception, we determine whether the contract is or contains a lease based on the terms and conditions of the contract. Lease contracts are recognized on our consolidated balance sheet as ROU assets and lease liabilities; however, we have elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities on leases with terms of one year or less. Variable lease payments that are dependent on usage, output, or may vary for other reasons are excluded from lease payments in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized as lease expense in the period the obligation is incurred. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we combine lease and non-lease components. The Company’s vehicle and equipment leases are comprised of a single lease component. If a lease does not provide enough information to determine the implicit interest rate in the agreements, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate in calculating the lease liability. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate for each lease by reference to yield rates on collateralized debt issuances, which approximates borrowings on a collateralized basis, by companies of a similar credit rating as the Company, with adjustments for differences in years to maturity and implied company-specific credit spreads. Certain leases include renewal and termination options and the option to renew is under our sole discretion. These leases are included in the lease term in determining the ROU assets and liabilities when we are reasonably certain we will exercise the option. The ROU asset also includes initial direct costs paid less lease incentives received from the lessor. The Company also records lease income for subleases of franchise stores to certain franchisees. Lease income from sublease rentals is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Long-lived assets that are used in operations are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable through undiscounted future cash flows. Recognition and measurement of a potential impairment is performed on assets grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level where identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or asset group exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair value is generally estimated by internal specialists based on the present value of anticipated future cash flows or, if required, with the assistance of independent third-party valuation specialists, depending on the nature of the assets or asset group.
Goodwill and Indefinite and Definite Lived Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Goodwill is recorded when the aggregate purchase price of an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company's indefinite-lived intangibles are comprised of trademarks and tradenames. Management tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level on the first day of the fourth quarter every year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset might be impaired. If a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, the Company will record an impairment charge based on that difference. In performing a quantitative test for impairment of goodwill, we primarily use the income approach method of valuation that includes the discounted cash flow method and the market approach that includes the guideline public company method to determine the fair value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Significant assumptions used by management in estimating fair value under the discounted cash flow model include revenue growth rates, terminal growth rates, discount rates, and EBITDA margins. Other assumptions include operating expenses, overhead expenses, tax depreciation, and capital expenditures. Assumptions used to determine fair value under the guideline public company method include the selection of guideline companies and the valuation multiples applied. In the process of performing a quantitative test of our trade name intangible assets, we primarily use the relief of royalty method under the income approach method of valuation. Significant assumptions used to determine fair value under the relief of royalty method include future trends in sales, a royalty rate, and a discount rate to be applied to the forecast revenue stream. There is an inherent degree of uncertainty in preparing any forecast of future results. Future trends in system-wide sales are dependent to a significant extent on national, regional, and local economic conditions. Any decreases in customer traffic or average repair order due to these or other reasons could reduce gross sales at franchise locations, resulting in lower royalty and other payments from franchisees, as well as lower sales at company-operated locations. This could reduce the profitability of franchise locations, potentially impacting the ability of franchisees to make royalty payments owed to us when due, which could adversely impact our current cash flow from franchise operations and company-operated sites. The determination of an indefinite life is subject to reassessment if changes in facts and circumstances indicate the period of benefit has become finite. Refer to Note 7 for information regarding goodwill and intangible impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Definite Lived Intangible Assets The Company's definite lived intangible assets are comprised primarily of trademarks, franchise agreements, license agreements, membership agreements, customer relationships, and developed technology. Intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset as follows: Estimated Useful Life Tradenames 2 to 3 years Franchise agreements 3 to 30 years License agreements 7 to 19 years Membership agreements 7 to 9 years Customer relationships 13 to 16 years Developed technology 5 to 8 years The lives of definite lived intangibles are reviewed and reduced if changes in their planned use occurs. If changes in the assets planned use is identified, management reviews the useful life and carrying value of the asset to assess the recoverability of the assets if facts and circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability test requires management to compare the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the intangible asset or asset group to the carrying value. If the carrying amounts of the intangible asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Management reviews business combinations to identify intangible assets, which are typically tradenames and customer relationships, and value the assets based on information and assumptions available to us at the date of purchase utilizing income and market approaches to determine fair value.
Derivative instruments	Derivative instruments We utilize derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate and foreign exchange exposure. For derivatives instruments where we have not elected hedge accounting, the change in fair value is recognized in earnings. For derivative instruments where we have elected hedge accounting, the changes in the derivative and the hedged item attributable to the hedged risks are recognized in the same line within our consolidated statement of operations. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recorded to the statement of operations when the hedged item impacts earnings. Derivatives designated as hedge accounting are assessed at inception and on an ongoing basis whether the instrument is, and will continue to be, highly effective in offsetting cash flow or fair value of the hedged item and whether it remains probable the forecasted transaction will occur. Changes in the fair value for derivative instruments that do not qualify as hedge accounting are recognized in the consolidated statement of operations. Refer to Note 12 for additional information regarding our derivative assets and liabilities.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Franchise royalties and fees Franchisees are required to pay an upfront license fee prior to the opening of a location. The initial license payment received is recognized ratably over the life of the franchise agreement. Franchisees will also pay continuing royalty fees, at least monthly, based on a percentage of the store level retail sales or a flat amount, depending on the brand. The royalty income is recognized as the underlying sales occur. In addition to the initial fees and royalties, the Company also recognizes revenue associated with development fees charged to franchisees, which are recognized as income over the life of the associated franchise agreement. Development fees relate to the right of a franchisee to open additional locations in an agreed upon territory. Company-operated store sales Company-operated store sales are recognized, net of sales discounts, upon delivery of services and the service-related product. Customers also have the ability to purchase car wash club memberships that allow a customer unlimited washes for the duration of the membership. The Company recognizes revenue from these membership programs on a straight-line basis over the membership term. Sales proceeds for gift cards are recognized as a contract liability; the liability is reduced and revenue is recognized when the gift card is subsequently redeemed for services. Breakage on unredeemed gift card balances is estimated and recognized as revenue using the proportional method based on historical redemption patterns. The states and municipalities in which the Company operates impose sales tax on all of the Company’s nonexempt revenue. The Company collects the sales tax from its customers and remits the entire amount to the appropriate taxing authority. The Company’s policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted from net revenue and direct costs. The Company accrues sales tax liabilities as it records sales, maintaining the amount owed to the taxing authorities in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Independently-operated store sales and expenses Independently-operated store sales and expenses consist of our car wash sites outside North America. The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling its performance obligation of providing car wash and other vehicle cleaning services but engages a third-party to provide site labor and operate these stores on its behalf. The Company pays a commission to these third-parties to perform this service. Revenue from car washes at these locations is recorded in independently-operated store sales at the time the service is performed, while the commissions paid to the third-parties are recorded in independently-operated store expenses. Advertising contributions Franchised and company-operated stores are generally required to contribute advertising dollars according to the terms of their respective contract (typically based on a percentage of sales) that are used for, among other activities, advertising the brand on a national and local basis, as determined by the brand’s franchisor. The Company’s franchisees make their contributions to a marketing fund which in turn administers and distributes their advertising contributions directly to the franchisor. This advertising fee revenue is recognized as the underlying sales occur. Advertising expenses are recorded as incurred. Revenues and expenses related to these advertising collections and expenditures are reported on a gross basis in the consolidated statements of operations. The assets related to the advertising fund are considered restricted and disclosed as such on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Any excess or deficiency of advertising fee revenue compared to advertising expenditures is recognized in the fourth quarter of the Company's fiscal year. Any excess of revenue over expenditures is recognized only to the extent of previously recognized deficits. When advertising revenues exceed the related advertising expenses and there is no recovery of a previously recognized deficit of advertising revenues, advertising costs are accrued up to the amount of revenues. Supply and other revenue Supply and other revenue includes revenue related to product sales, vendor incentive revenue, insurance licensing fees, store leases, software maintenance fees, and automotive training services revenue. Supply and other revenue is recognized once title of goods is transferred to franchisees or other independent parties, as the sales of the related products occur, or ratably. Vendor incentive revenue is recognized as sales of the related product occur. Insurance licensing fee revenue is generated when the Company is acting as an agent on behalf of its franchisees and is recognized once title of goods is transferred to franchisees. The insurance license revenue is presented net of any related expense with any residual revenue reflecting the management fee the Company charges for the program. Store lease revenue is recognized ratably over the underlying property lease term. Software maintenance fee revenue is recognized monthly in connection with providing and servicing software. Automotive training services are provided to third party shop owner/operators in accordance with agreed upon contract terms. These contracts may be for one-time shop visits or agreements to receive access to education and training programs for multiple years. For one-time shop visits, revenue is recognized at the time the service is rendered. For the multi-year education and training contracts, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract term. Assets Recognized from the Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer: The Company has elected a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period would have been one year or less. The Company records contract assets, included in deferred commissions on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if we expect the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year and if such costs are material. Commission expenses, a primary cost associated with the sale of franchise licenses, are amortized to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations ratably over the life of the associated franchise agreement. Contract Balances five three
Company-Operated Store Expenses	Company-Operated Store Expenses Company-operated store expenses consist of payroll and benefit costs for employees at company-operated locations, as well as rent, costs associated with procuring materials from suppliers, and other store-level operating costs. The Company receives volume rebates based on a variety of factors which are included in accounts receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and accounted for as a reduction of company-operated store expenses as they are earned. Sales discounts received from suppliers are recorded as a reduction of the cost of inventory. Advanced rebates are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are accounted for as a reduction of company-operated store expenses as they are earned over the term of the supply agreement. In addition, the Company includes subleasing expense associated with the subleasing of store buildings to franchisees within supply and other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Store Opening Costs	Store Opening Costs Store opening costs consist of employee, facility, and grand opening marketing costs that company-operated stores incur prior to opening. The Company typically incurs store opening costs when opening new company-operated stores and when converting independently branded, acquired company-operated stores to one of its brands. These expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Equity-based Compensation	Equity-based Compensation The Company recognizes expense related to equity-based compensation awards over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the award on the grant-date. Forfeitures are accounted for as they occur.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial assets and liabilities are categorized, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. Observable market data, when available, is required to be used in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories: Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date; Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; or Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company estimates the fair value of financial instruments using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The carrying amount for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, inventory, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturities. The notes receivable carrying value also approximates fair value due to interest rates that approximate market rates for agreements with similar maturities and credit quality. The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency derivative instruments is derived from valuation models, which use Level 2 observable inputs such as quoted market prices, interest rates, and forward yield curves. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on Level 2 inputs using discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for interest rates, credit risk and contractual terms of the debt agreements.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax laws and rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the assets and liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled. The effects on deferred tax assets and liabilities of subsequent changes in the tax laws and rates are recognized in income during the year the changes are enacted. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Deferred Financing Costs	Deferred Financing Costs The costs related to the issuance of debt are presented in the accompanying balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt or within other assets for deferred financing costs associated with the Revolving Credit Facility and amortized over the terms of the related debt agreements as interest expense using the effective interest method.
Insurance Reserves	Insurance Reserves The Company is partially self-insured for employee medical coverage. The Company records a liability for the ultimate settlement of claims incurred as of the balance sheet date based upon estimates provided by the third-party that administers the
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation We translate assets and liabilities of non-U.S. operations into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses at the average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income (loss). Transactions resulting in foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting . This ASU provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In response to the concerns about structural risks of interbank offered rates and, particularly, the risk of cessation of LIBOR, regulators in several jurisdictions around the world have undertaken reference rate reform initiatives to identify alternative reference rates that are more observable or transaction based and less susceptible to manipulation. The ASU provides companies with optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance is effective immediately and the amendments may be applied prospectively through December 31, 2024. On June 2, 2023, the Company entered into a loan amendment to transition our LIBOR-based loans to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The amendment went into effect on July 1, 2023 and did not have a material impact on the loans affected. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The standard enhances segment disclosure requirements of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assist in understanding how segment expenses and operating results are evaluated. The new standard does not change the definition or aggregation of operating segments. The standard also expands the interim disclosure requirements on a retrospective basis. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures, including consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the tax rate reconciliation as well as disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
