The lawsuit alleges that Driven Brands made material errors in its previously issued consolidated financial statements for fiscal years 2023 and 2024, and quarterly periods through September 27, 2025. These errors primarily relate to lease recording, cash balance reporting, revenue overstatements, and expense understatements. On February 25, 2026, Driven Brands announced that its financial statements should not be relied upon and require restatement, leading to a nearly 40% drop in its stock price.
