The earnings call reflected a mixed sentiment with notable improvements in tire sales and financial stability, offset by declines in overall sales, net income, and gross margins. While some operational improvements are evident, significant challenges remain in service category performance and addressing consumer trade-down impacts.
Company Guidance
During the earnings call for Monro Inc.'s Q2 2025, the company provided guidance that highlighted several key metrics and objectives. Comparable store sales showed a year-over-year decline of 5.8%, leading to a 6.4% decrease in total sales, amounting to $301.4 million. Despite this, the company reported a sequential improvement in comparable store sales by 410 basis points from Q1, with sales momentum continuing into October, resulting in a preliminary comp store sales decline of just 1%. Gross margin decreased by 40 basis points due to higher material costs and a shift in tire purchases toward Tier 3 offerings. The company aims to achieve gross margin expansion in fiscal 2025, driven by improvements in service categories and labor productivity. Net income for Q2 was $5.6 million, with diluted earnings per share at $0.18, compared to $0.40 in the previous year. Monro expects to generate at least $120 million in operating cash flow for the full year and plans capital expenditures between $25 million and $35 million. Looking ahead, the company is focused on enhancing store traffic, particularly in oil change services, and optimizing labor efficiencies to restore gross margins to pre-COVID levels.
Sequential Improvement in Comp Store Sales
The company reported a 410 basis point improvement in year-over-year comparable store sales percentage change from Q1, with sales of $301.4 million.
Tire Category Growth

Cash Flow and Financial Position
Monro generated $88 million of cash from operations, improved the AP to inventory ratio to 185%, and maintained a net bank debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 0.3x.
Labor Productivity Improvements
Technician payroll productivity improvements contributed to a 130 basis point offset to gross margin pressure.
