Certain statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, including estimates, projections, statementsrelated to our business plans and operating results are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the PrivateSecurities 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 onMonro’s current expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions as of the date such statements are made, and aresubject 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 withthe Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis ofFinancial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of our most recently filed periodic reports on Forms 10-K and Form10-Q, which are available on Monro’s website at http://www.Monro.com/Corporate/SEC-filings.

This presentation contains references to Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS), which is a “non-GAAP financial measure” asthis term is defined in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934and 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 financialmeasure 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 analternative to, its most directly comparable GAAP measure. This non-GAAP financial measure may be different from similarlytitled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.
