Certain statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, including estimates, projections, statements related to our business plans and operating results are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Monro has identified some of these forward-looking statements with words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “estimates,” “is likely,” “predicts,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” and “intends” and the negative of these words or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are based

• n Monro’s current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions as of the date such statements are made, and are

subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward- looking statements. Additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties are described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis

• f Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of our most recently filed periodic reports on Forms 10-K and

Form 10-Q, which are available on Monro’s website at https://corporate.monro.com/investors/financial-information/. Monro assumes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements for any reason, even if new information becomes available in the future. This presentation contains references to Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS), which is a “non-GAAP financial measure” as this term is defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In accordance with these rules, Monro has reconciled this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. Management views this non-GAAP financial measure as a way to assess comparability between periods. This non-GAAP financial measure is not intended to represent, and should not be considered more meaningful than, or as an alternative to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure. This non-GAAP financial measure may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
