Note 2 — Acquisitions

xbrl,body

The Company’s acquisitions are strategic moves in its plan to fill in and expand its presence in its existing and contiguous markets, and leverage fixed operating costs such as distribution and advertising.

On September 20, 2009, the Company acquired four retail tire and automotive repair stores located in northwest Indiana from Midwest Tire & Auto Repair (“Midwest”). These stores produced approximately $6 million in sales annually based on unaudited pre-acquisition historical information. The total purchase price of these stores was approximately $2.0 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The acquisition was financed through the Company’s existing bank facility. These stores will all operate under the Mr. Tire brand name. The results of operations of Midwest are included in the Company’s results from September 20, 2009.

On June 14, 2009, the Company acquired 26 Autotire Car Care Center (“Autotire”) retail tire and automotive repair stores located primarily in the St. Louis, MO market from Am-Pac Tire Distributors, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Tire Distributors. These stores produced approximately $31 million in sales annually based on unaudited pre-acquisition historical information. The total purchase price of these stores was approximately $7.4 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The acquisition was financed through the Company’s existing bank facility. These stores all operate under the Autotire brand name. The results of operations of Autotire are included in the Company’s results from June 14, 2009.

The Company has completed its initial accounting for these acquisitions in accordance with accounting guidance on business combinations. The acquisitions resulted in goodwill related to, among other things, growth opportunities and unidentified intangible assets. All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The Company has recorded finite-lived intangible assets at their determined fair value related to customer relationships and trade names.

The Company has completed the accounting for the Autotire acquisition other than, most notably, the valuation of capital assets and intangible assets. The Company is in the process of obtaining appraisals to complete these valuations. The Company has not completed its final purchase price accounting of the Midwest acquisition due to the timing of the acquisition. As the Company completes its final accounting for these acquisitions, there may be changes, some of which may be material, to this initial accounting.

MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In accordance with accounting guidance on business combinations, the Company expensed all costs related to the acquisitions in the first six months of fiscal 2010. The total costs related to the acquisitions were $.3 million. These costs are included in the Consolidated Statement of Income under operating, selling, general and administrative expenses.

The purchase price of the acquisitions has been preliminarily allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with the remainder recorded as goodwill on the basis of estimated fair values, as follows:

	As of September 26, 2009
	(Dollars in thousands)
Other current assets	$ 2,496
Intangible assets	2,911
Other noncurrent assets	1,434
Current liabilities	(3,005	)
Long-term liabilities	(237	)
Total net identifiable assets acquired	$ 3,599
Total consideration transferred	$ 9,361
Less: total net identifiable assets acquired	3,599
Goodwill	$ 5,762

The $2.9 million of acquired intangible assets, such as customer lists and trade names, are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. The weighted average useful life is approximately 11 years.

Note 3 — Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) amounts are computed by dividing earnings after the deduction of preferred stock dividends by the average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS amounts assume the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive equivalents outstanding.

The following is a reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the respective periods:

MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The computation of diluted EPS excludes the effect of the assumed exercise of approximately 120,000 and 103,000 stock options respectively, for the three and six months ended fiscal September 2009, and 1,051,000 and 1,096,000 stock options respectively, for the three and six months ended September 2008. Such amounts were excluded as the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market value of the Company’s common stock for those periods, resulting in an anti-dilutive effect on diluted EPS.

xbrl,n

Note 4 — Income Taxes

xbrl,body

In the normal course of business, the Company provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties, and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties accordingly. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits were $4.9 million and $4.5 million, respectively at September 26, 2009 and March 28, 2009, the majority of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. As of September 26, 2009, the Company had approximately $.5 million of interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company is currently under audit by certain state tax jurisdictions for the fiscal 2001 to 2007 tax years. It is reasonably possible that the examination phase of the audit for these years may conclude in the next 12 months, and that the related unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns may change from those recorded as liabilities for uncertain tax positions in the Company’s financial statements as of September 26, 2009. However, based on the status of the examinations, it is not possible to estimate the effect of any amount of such change to previously recorded uncertain tax positions.

The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. The Company’s fiscal 2005 through fiscal 2008 U.S. federal tax years and various state tax years remain subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities.

xbrl,n

Note 5 — Derivative Financial Instruments

xbrl,body

The Company reports derivatives and hedging activities in accordance with accounting guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities. This statement requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction, and if it is, depending on the type of hedge transaction.

The notional amount of derivative financial instruments, which consisted solely of three interest rate swaps used to minimize the risk and/or costs associated with changes in interest rates, was $30.0 million at September 26, 2009. These swaps mature in July 2010. Fixed rates under these agreements range from 3.27% to 3.29%.

The Company manages exposure to changes in market interest rates. The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to highly effective interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in LIBOR swap rates, the designated benchmark interest rate being hedged on certain of the Company’s LIBOR-induced variable-rate debt. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the Company’s interest payments on certain LIBOR-indexed variable-rate debt.

The Company reflects the current fair value of all interest rate hedge instruments in its consolidated balance sheets as a component of other current liabilities. All of the Company’s interest rate hedge instruments are designated as cash flow hedges.

The gains and losses related to the fair value of interest rate hedges are deferred in stockholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income or loss. The deferred loss at September 26, 2009, was $444,000. These deferred gains and losses are recognized in income as a decrease or increase to interest expense in the period in which the related cash flows being hedged are recognized in expense. However, to the extent that the change in value of an interest rate hedge instrument does not perfectly offset the change in the value of the cash flows being hedged, that ineffective portion is immediately recognized in the income statement. The Company’s hedge instruments have been determined to be highly effective as of September 26, 2009.

MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company primarily executes derivative transactions of relatively short duration with strong creditworthy counterparties. These counterparties expose the Company to credit risk in the event of non-performance. The amount of such exposure is limited to the unpaid portion of amounts due to the Company pursuant to the terms of the derivative financial instruments, if any. Although there are no collateral requirements, if a downgrade in the credit rating of these counterparties occurs, management believes that this exposure is mitigated by provisions in the derivative agreements which allow for the legal right of offset of any amounts due to the Company from the counterparties with amounts payable, if any, to the counterparties by the Company. Management considers the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.

The following table presents the Company’s derivative financial instruments measured at fair value at September 26, 2009:

	September 26, 2009
	Notional
	Amount of
	Underlying	Fixed Rate	Year of
Interest Rate Swaps	Debt	Received	Transaction	Maturity	Fair Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
Swaps associated with:
1 month U.S. LIBOR	$ 10,000	3.29 %	2008	2010	$ (240	)
1 month U.S. LIBOR	10,000	3.27 %	2008	2010	(239	)
1 month U.S. LIBOR	10,000	3.27 %	2008	2010	(238	)
	$ 30,000				$ (717	)

The location and amounts of derivative fair values in the balance sheet as of September 26, 2009 were as follows:

	Liability Derivatives as of September 26, 2009 — Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value
	(Dollars in thousands)
Interest rate contracts designated as hedging instruments under SFAS 133	Other current liabilities	$ 717

While it is not the Company’s intention to terminate its derivative financial instruments, fair values were estimated based on quotes from financial institutions, which represented the amounts that the Company would receive or pay if the instruments were terminated at the respective balance sheet date. These fair values indicated that the termination of interest rate swaps would result in a $717,000 loss as of September 26, 2009.

Note 6 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

xbrl,body

The Company adopted accounting guidance on fair value measurements as of March 30, 2008. The guidance, among other things, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1.	Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Note 9 — Litigation

xbrl,body

The Company was the defendant in a lawsuit filed in December 2007, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, that claimed that the Company violated federal and state laws relating to the calculation and payment of overtime to certain headquarters employees. In May 2008, subject to Court approval, the Company and the plaintiffs agreed upon the financial terms of a settlement of all claims in the lawsuit (the “Settlement”). In doing so, the Company did not admit any wrong doing with respect to the matters involved in the lawsuit. The Company obtained final court approval of the Settlement in March 2009. The Company recorded a reserve for the Settlement, including an estimate of all costs to bring the matter to a close, in the amount of $.9 million in fiscal year 2008. This amount was reduced by approximately $.1 million in fiscal year 2009 due to lower than anticipated costs to resolve the matter. All payments required pursuant to the terms of the Settlement were made on April 23, 2009.

The Company is not a party or subject to any other legal proceedings other than certain claims and lawsuits that arise in the normal course of its business.

Second Quarter and Six Months Ended September 26, 2009 Compared To Second Quarter and Six Months Ended September 27, 2008

Sales were $136.6 million for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 as compared with $119.9 million in the quarter ended September 27, 2008. The sales increase of $16.7 million or 13.9%, was partially due to a comparable store sales increase of 7.4%. The former Craven and Valley Forge stores acquired in July 2007 and the former Broad Elm stores acquired in January 2008 are now included in comparable store sales numbers. Additionally, there was an increase of $10.0 million related to new stores, of which $8.4 million came from the former Autotire stores acquired in June 2009. Partially offsetting this was a decrease in sales from closed stores amounting to $1.9 million.

Folio 13 /Folio

PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

There were 76 selling days in the quarter ended September 26, 2009 and in the quarter ended September 27, 2008.

At September 26, 2009, the Company had 739 company-operated stores compared with 709 stores at September 27, 2008. During the quarter ended September 26, 2009, the Company opened four stores and closed five stores.

Sales were $264.7 million for the six months ended September 26, 2009 as compared with $240.3 million in the six months ended September 27, 2008. The sales increase of $24.4 million or 10.2%, was partially due to a comparable store sales increase of 6.8%. Additionally, there was an increase of $12.5 million related to new stores, of which $9.6 million came from the former Autotire stores acquired in June 2009. Partially offsetting this sales increase was a decrease in sales from closed stores amounting to $3.9 million.

Management believes that the improvement in comparable store sales resulted from several factors, including an increase in brake sales, tire sales and maintenance services. It is management’s belief that strong in store sales execution, highly effective advertising campaigns and price increases in several product categories also contributed to the sales improvement. Comparable store traffic increased over the prior year second quarter. Soft economic conditions and the related decrease in consumer spending and tightening of credit, resulting in declining automobile sales, helped to contribute to the improved sales. Management believes that consumers are keeping their cars longer and repairing them instead of trading them in for new cars. Additionally, while consumers can and often defer repairs when the economy is weak, most repairs can only be deferred for a period of time. When customers do come in to have their vehicles repaired, it is management’s belief that they spend more on average because the problem with their vehicle has worsened due to additional wear.

Management also believes that the recent closings of dealerships by Chrysler and General Motors will only serve to drive more business to the Company’s stores as consumers look for alternative, proven, economical and more geographically convenient locations to service their automobiles.

Gross profit for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 was $58.9 million or 43.1% of sales as compared with $50.4 million or 42.0% of sales for the quarter ended September 27, 2008. The increase in gross profit for the quarter ended September 26, 2009, as a percentage of sales, is due to several factors.

There was a decrease in labor costs as a percent of sales due partially to a continued shift in mix to tire sales.

Distribution and occupancy costs decreased as a percentage of sales from the prior year as the Company, with improved sales, was able to better leverage largely fixed costs.

Total material costs, including outside purchases, were flat as a percentage of sales as compared to the prior year quarter. Margin pressure, caused by a shift in mix to the lower margin categories of tires and maintenance services from the higher margin categories of brakes and exhaust, was offset by an increase in vendor rebates as compared to the prior year.

Gross profit for the six months ended September 26, 2009 was $115.3 million, or 43.5% of sales, compared with $101.3 million or 42.2% of sales for the six months ended September 27, 2008.

Operating expenses for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 were $41.3 million or 30.2% of sales compared with $36.6 million or 30.5% of sales for the quarter ended September 27, 2008. Within operating expenses, selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 increased by $4.4 million to $41.1 million from the quarter ended September 27, 2008, and were 30.1% of sales, compared with 30.7% for the prior year quarter.

The Company gained leverage as a percentage of sales, in many of the components of SG&A, both in store direct and store support costs, because of strong comparable store sales and cost control.

For the six months ended September 26, 2009, operating expenses increased by $7.2 million to $80.8 million from the comparable period of the prior year and were 30.5% of sales compared to 30.6%.

SG&A expenses for the six months ended September 26, 2009 increased $6.7 million to $80.3 million from the comparable period of the prior year and were 30.3% of sales compared to 30.6%.

Intangible amortization for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 increased from $.1 million to $.2 million due to the acquisitions that occurred in fiscal 2010, but was flat as a percentage of sales at .1%.

Intangible amortization for the six months ended September 26, 2009 remains unchanged at $.3 million, and .1 as a percentage of sales.

Gain on disposal of assets for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 decreased $.3 million from the quarter ended September 27, 2008.

Gain on disposal of assets for the six months ended September 26, 2009 decreased $.4 million from a gain of $.3 million for the six months ended September 27, 2008, to a loss of $.1 million for the six months ended September 26, 2009.

Operating income for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 of approximately $17.5 million increased by 27.3% as compared to operating income of approximately $13.8 million for the quarter ended September 27, 2008 and increased as a percentage of sales from 11.5% for the quarter ended September 27, 2008 to 12.8% for the quarter ended September 26, 2009.

Operating income for the six months ended September 26, 2009 of approximately $34.5 million increased by 24.5% as compared to operating income of approximately $27.7 million for the six months ended September 27, 2008, and increased as a percentage of sales from 11.5% for the six months ended September 27, 2008 to 13.0% for the six months ended September 26, 2009.

Net interest expense for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 decreased by approximately $.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, and decreased from 1.3% to 1.1% as a percentage of sales for the same periods. The weighted average debt outstanding for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 decreased by approximately $14.8 million from the quarter ended September 27, 2008, primarily related to repayment of the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility agreement. However, the weighted average interest rate increased slightly by approximately 20 basis points from the prior year. This increase is due to a shift to a larger percentage of debt (capital lease vs. revolver) outstanding at a higher rate.

Net interest expense for the six months ended September 26, 2009 increased by approximately $.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, and remained unchanged at 1.3% as a percentage of sales for the same periods.

Other income for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 decreased $.1 million from the quarter ended September 27, 2008 to $.1 million.

Other income for the six months ended September 26, 2009 decreased $.1 million as compared to the same period in the prior year.

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008 was 38.1% and 38.0%, respectively, of pre-tax income.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 26, 2009 and September 27, 2008 was 37.9% and 37.8%, respectively, of pre-tax income.

Net income for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 of $10.0 million increased 30.4% from net income for the quarter ended September 27, 2008. Earnings per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended September 26, 2009 increased 28.9%.

For the six months ended September 26, 2009, net income of $19.4 million increased 25.5% and diluted earnings per share increased 23.4%.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Capital Resources

The Company’s primary capital requirements in fiscal 2010 are the upgrading of facilities and systems and the funding of its store expansion program, including potential acquisitions of existing store chains. For the six months ended September 26, 2009, the Company’s primary capital requirements were divided between the funding of capital expenditures related to existing and greenfield stores totaling $8.2 million, and the funding of acquisitions totaling $9.4 million. Funds were provided primarily by cash flow from operations and bank financing. Management believes that the Company has sufficient resources available (including cash and equivalents, net cash flow from operations and bank financing) to expand its business as currently planned for the next several years including the Tire Warehouse acquisition.

Liquidity

In July 2005, the Company entered into a five-year, $125 million Revolving Credit Facility agreement with five banks. A sixth bank was added in June 2008. Interest only is payable monthly throughout the Credit Facility’s term. The facility included a provision allowing the Company to expand the amount of the overall facility to $160 million. Amendments in January 2007 and June 2008 were made to these amounts which increased the overall facility to $200 million and extended the expiration to January 2012. Currently, the committed sum is $163.3 million and the accordian feature is $36.7 million. Approximately $64.0 million was outstanding at September 26, 2009, including $15.3 million of outstanding letters of credit.

The Company has financed the land associated with its office/warehouse facility via a mortgage note payable of $.7 million due in a balloon payment in 2015. In addition, the Company has financed certain store properties and equipment with capital leases, which amount to $34.9 million and are due in installments through 2039.

The terms of the Credit Facility permit the payment of cash dividends not to exceed 25% of the preceding year’s net income, and allow stock buybacks subject to the Company being able to meet its existing financial covenants. The Agreement requires the maintenance of specified interest and rent coverage ratios and amounts of net worth. It also contains restrictions on cash dividend payments. At September 26, 2009, the Company is in compliance with the applicable debt covenants, and does not foresee a risk of being out of compliance for the foreseeable future. These agreements permit mortgages and specific lease financing arrangements with other parties with certain limitations.

The Company enters into interest rate hedge agreements, which involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments periodically over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and is recognized over the life of the agreements as an offsetting adjustment to interest expense. The Company entered into three $10 million interest rate swap agreements in July 2008 which expire in July 2010. The purpose of these agreements is to limit the interest rate exposure in the Company’s floating rate debt. Fixed rates under these agreements range from 3.27% to 3.29%.

The Company has entered into an agreement to purchase the land and building associated with 30 stores that are currently leased from the landlord for a price of $20 million. Such purchases will take place over a period of time and will be completed by December 31, 2009. As of September 26, 2009, 21 properties have been purchased at a total price of $13.4 million.

In September 2009, the Company signed a definitive asset purchase agreement to acquire 40 retail tire locations and six tire franchise locations from Tire Warehouse Central (“Tire Warehouse”) for approximately $34 million. The transaction closed on October 4, 2009. The Tire Warehouse stores are located in five New England states. These stores will operate under the Tire Warehouse name. The acquisition was financed through the Company’s existing bank facility.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Fair Value Measurements

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted new accounting guidance on fair value measurements. The new guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It was effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2008, for certain financial assets and liabilities. See Note 6, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, for additional information regarding the Company’s fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities. The new guidance was effective for non-financial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis beginning March 29, 2009. The adoption of the new guidance, applicable to non-financial assets and liabilities, did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Table of Contents

Business Combinations and Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance on business combinations and non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements. The new guidance revises the method of accounting for a number of aspects of business combinations and noncontrolling interests, including acquisition costs, contingencies (including contingent assets, contingent liabilities and contingent purchase price), the impacts of partial and step-acquisitions (including the valuation of net assets attributable to non-acquired minority interests) and post-acquisition exit activities of acquired businesses. The new guidance was effective for the Company beginning March 29, 2009. See Note 2, “Acquisitions”, for further discussion.

Employers’ Disclosures About Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new accounting guidance on disclosures about employers’ pension plan assets. New disclosures will include more information on investment strategies, major categories of plan assets, concentrations of risk with plan assets and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. This new guidance requires new disclosures only, and will have no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. This new guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal 2011.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to market risk from potential changes in interest rates. At September 26, 2009 and March 28, 2009, approximately 62% and 47%, respectively, of the Company’s long-term debt, excluding capital leases, was at fixed interest rates and therefore, the fair value is affected by changes in market interest rates. The Company’s cash flow exposure on floating rate debt, which is not supported by interest rate swap agreements, would result in interest expense fluctuating approximately $.2 million based upon the Company’s debt position at quarter ended September 26, 2009 and $.4 million for fiscal year ended March 28, 2009, given a 1% change in LIBOR.

The Company regularly evaluates these risks and has entered into three interest rate swap agreements, expiring in July 2010, with an aggregate notional amount of $30.0 million. These agreements limit the interest rate exposure on the Company’s floating rate debt, related specifically to the Revolving Credit Facility, via the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments periodically over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying principal amount. The fixed rates paid by the Company under these agreements range from 3.27% to 3.29%.

The Company believes the amount of risk and the use of derivative financial instruments described above are not material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Security and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In conjunction with the close of each fiscal quarter and under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducts an update, a review and an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. It is the conclusion of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, based upon an evaluation completed as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter reported on herein, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in internal controls

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 26, 2009 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
