Description of Business

Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and subsidiaries is a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America, serving both professional installers (“professional”) and “do-it-yourself” (“DIY”) customers. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advance Auto Parts, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, Advance Stores Company, Incorporated (“Advance Stores”) and Neuse River Insurance Company, Inc., and their subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Company”).

As of April 19, 2025, the Company operated a total of 4,285 stores primarily within the United States, with additional locations in Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition, as of April 19, 2025, the Company served 881 independently owned Carquest branded stores across the same geographic locations served by the Company’s stores in addition to Mexico and various Caribbean islands. The Company’s stores operate primarily under the trade names “Advance Auto Parts” and “Carquest”.

The Company has one reportable segment. As of December 28, 2024, the Company had two operating segments, which were aggregated as a single reportable segment; however, following the stabilization of the Company’s new organizational structure in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, due to significant restructuring activities, the Company now operates under the single operating segment of “Advance Auto Parts/Carquest”. See Note 11. Segment Reporting and Note 3. Restructuring, of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information on the Company’s segments and restructuring activities.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and unaudited notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted based upon the SEC interim reporting principles.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. The accounting policies followed in the presentation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed on an annual basis.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2024 (“2024 Form 10-K”) as filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. Consistent with prior years, the Company’s first quarter of the year contains sixteen weeks. The Company’s remaining three quarters each consist of twelve weeks.

Change in Presentation

Prior to fiscal 2025, the Company presented its condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements in thousands. Effective in fiscal 2025, such amounts are presented in millions, except par value share amounts and per share data, unless otherwise stated. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including the separate disclosure of operating lease right of use assets, other assets, operating lease liabilities and other liabilities, on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. This change in presentation does not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Further, consistent with the presentation in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K, the Company has presented the sale of the Worldpac, Inc. business (“Worldpac”) as discontinued operations in its condensed consolidated financial statements. Comparative interim period amounts have been updated to reflect this presentation.

Income Tax Disclosure Improvements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires a company to enhance its income tax disclosures. In each annual reporting period, the company should disclose the specific categories used in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, including disaggregation of taxes paid by jurisdiction. The related disclosures are effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and believes that the adoption will result in additional disclosures, but will not have any other impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities to disclose more detailed information about certain costs and expenses presented in the income statement, including (among other items) the amount of inventory purchases, employee compensation, selling expenses, depreciation and amortization of intangible assets. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2024-03 on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
