Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Valvoline reported first-quarter results for the period ended December 31, 2025, with revenue up 11% to $462 million and system-wide same store sales up 5.8%. The company posted a loss from continuing operations of $32 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, which it attributed mainly to an FTC-required divestiture of certain Breeze stores, compared with income of $0.73 per share a year earlier. Adjusted EPS rose 16% to $0.37, but shareholders face a reported loss and total debt of $1.7 billion after the Breeze acquisition.
