System-wide sales increased 3.1%. “In the second quarter, we delivered another strong performance, with consistent results across same store sales, revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted earnings per share. We continued our disciplined debt reduction strategy and achieved pro forma net leverage of 3.9x following the sale of the U.S. car wash seller note in July. These results demonstrate the power of our diversified platform and our growth and cash playbook. Take 5 Oil Change remains at the forefront through industry-leading growth, achieving its 20th consecutive quarter of same store sales growth.
