Driven Brands recently released its financial results for the first quarter ending March 28, 2026, showing another strong performance from its Take 5 Oil Change brand.

As shared in a press release, Driven Brands delivered revenue of $484.4 million for the first quarter—an increase of 8% versus the prior year. System-wide sales increased 6% to $1.6 billion, driven by a 2% increase in same store sales and 5% increase in store count versus the prior year. 

The company saw growth across revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EPS, according to President and Chief Executive Officer Danny Rivera. Take 5 led in performance across brands with 4.5% same store sales growth in the quarter, marking its 23rd consecutive quarter of growth.

Take 5 also saw $323.2 million in revenue for the first quarter, in addition to $109.5 million Adjusted EBITDA and $441.7 million system-wide sales.

“We are reiterating our full-year 2026 outlook based on the results we have delivered to date,” added Rivera. “Our focus remains on scaling Take 5, generating steady cash flow from our franchise brands, and deleveraging toward our 3x net leverage target. While there is still work ahead, our non-discretionary portfolio is built for consistency, and our team continues to execute against the priorities that can deliver long-term shareholder value.”
