Driven Brands Holdings ( (DRVN) ) just unveiled an announcement.
Driven Brands Holdings Inc. announced on December 2, 2025, that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its international car wash business, IMO, to Franchise Equity Partners for €406 million. This divestiture is part of Driven Brands’ strategy to focus on its core North American operations, particularly scaling Take 5 and enhancing cash generation through its Franchise Brands. The transaction, expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, aims to reduce the company’s net leverage ratio and strengthen its balance sheet, with proceeds primarily used to pay down debt. The company has updated its financial outlook for fiscal year 2025 to reflect the reclassification of the international car wash business as discontinued operations, anticipating adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations to range from $1.18 to $1.23.
