(a)The 2023 adjustments reflect expense primarily due to the sale of our wholesale tire locations and tire distribution assets as well as the revaluation of deferred tax balances due to changes in the mix of pre-tax income in various U.S. state jurisdictions because of the sale.

We have $1.7 million and $8.2 million of federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, available as of March 29, 2025. The federal net operating loss carryforward has an unlimited carryforward period, and the state net operating loss carryforward periods expire in varying amounts through 2045.

We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establish valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realized. As of March 29, 2025, we concluded, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that most of our deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized, except the estimated amount of future state net operating loss assets in certain jurisdictions that will expire unutilized.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $1.4 million, $2.4 million, and $3.7 million at March 29, 2025, March 30, 2024, and March 25, 2023, respectively, the majority of which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

In the normal course of business, Monro provides for uncertain tax positions and the related interest and penalties and adjusts its unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties accordingly. We did not have any interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax benefits accrued as of March 29, 2025 or March 30, 2024.

We file U.S. federal income tax returns and income tax returns in certain state jurisdictions. Our U.S. federal income tax returns for 2022 – 2024 and various state tax years remain subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities.
