Announces Asset Optimization Program Targeting Reduction of 500 Corporate Stores, 200 Independently Owned Locations and Four Distribution Centers by Mid-2025 Introduces New Fiscal 2027 Financial Objectives Targeting Approximately 7% Adjusted Operating Income Margin (1) and Approximately 2.5x Debt Leverage Ratio; Provides Preliminary 2025 Guidance Identifies Over 500-basis points of Operating Margin Expansion Opportunity Through Fiscal 2027 With Focus on Core Retail Fundamental Excellence RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (NYSE: AAP), a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America that serves both professional installer and do-it-yourself customers, announced its financial results for the third quarter ended October 5, 2024.
"We are pleased to have made progress on our strategic actions, including the completion of the sale of Worldpac and a comprehensive operational productivity review of our business,” said Shane O’Kelly, president and chief executive officer. “We are charting a clear path forward and introducing a new three-year financial plan, with a focus on executing core retail fundamentals to improve the productivity of all our assets and to create shareholder value."
On November 1, 2024, the company completed its previously announced sale of Worldpac for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $1.5 billion, as adjusted for working capital and other items. Unless otherwise specified, results are presented on a continuing operations basis.
Third Quarter 2024 Results (1,2,3,4)
Third quarter 2024 net sales from continuing operations totaled $2.1 billion, compared with $2.2 billion in the third quarter of the prior year. Comparable store sales decreased 2.3%.
The company's gross profit increased 11.0% to $907.9 million, or 42.3% of net sales compared with 36.9% in the third quarter of the prior year. The leverage improvement was primarily due to lapping the one-time impact in the change for inventory reserves in the prior year as well as stabilizing product costs offset by strategic pricing investments.
The company's SG&A expenses were $907.5 million, or 42.2% of net sales. Adjusted SG&A expenses were $891.2 million, or 41.5% of net sales compared with 40.2% in the third quarter of 2023, primarily due to lower sales. The company also incurred high labor-related expenses due to wage investments in frontline team members that were partially offset by a reduction in marketing expenses.
The company's operating income was $403.0 thousand, or zero percent of net sales. Adjusted operating income was $16.7 million, or 0.8% of net sales compared with (3.3)% in the third quarter of 2023. In addition, our operating income margin was negatively impacted by approximately 125 basis points of atypical items and headwinds in the period (such as lost revenue from Hurricane Helene and downtime from the CrowdStrike outage) that are not included in non-GAAP adjustments.
The company's effective tax rate was (58.4)%, compared with 24.5% in the third quarter of 2023. The company's diluted loss per share for the quarter was $0.42. The company's adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.04 compared with a loss per share of $1.19 in the third quarter of 2023. The types of unusual headwinds in the quarter noted above, which are not included in the non-GAAP adjustments, negatively impacted the company's earnings per share by 34 cents.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $81.0 million through the third quarter of 2024 versus $28.3 million of cash used in operating activities in the same period of the prior year. Free cash flow through the third quarter of 2024 was an outflow of $48.7 million compared with an outflow of $202.5 million in the same period of the prior year.

Adjusted Operating Income Margin is a non-GAAP measure. For a better understanding of the company’s non-GAAP adjustments, refer to the reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying financial tables.
(2)
All comparisons are based on continuing operations for the same time period in the prior year, unless otherwise specified. The company calculates comparable store sales based on the change in store or branch sales starting once a location has been open for approximately one year and by including e-commerce sales and excluding sales fulfilled by distribution centers to independently owned Carquest locations. Acquired stores are included in the company's comparable store sales one year after acquisition. The company includes sales from relocated stores in comparable store sales from the original date of opening.
(3)
As reported in the company’s fourth quarter and full year 2023 earnings release, the company corrected non-material errors in certain previously reported financials. All comparisons are based on the corrected historical results as presented in the company’s prior earnings release dated February 28, 2024.
(4)
On August 22, 2024, the company entered into a definitive purchase agreement to sell its Worldpac Inc. business (“Worldpac”), which reflects a strategic shift in its business. The sale was completed on November 1, 2024. As a result, the company has classified the results of operations and cash flows of Worldpac as discontinued operations in its condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. The related assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations are classified as held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On October 29, 2024, the company declared a regular cash dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid on January 24, 2025, to all common stockholders of record as of January 10, 2025.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The company's financial results include certain financial measures not derived in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted Net income, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted SG&A Margin, and Adjusted Operating Income, should not be used as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, or considered in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position or cash flows.
The company has presented these non-GAAP financial measures as the company believes that the presentation of the financial results that exclude (1) transformation expenses under the company’s turnaround plan, (2) other significant costs and (3) nonrecurring tax expense are useful and indicative of the company's base operations because the expenses vary from period to period in terms of size, nature and significance. These measures assist in comparing the company’s current operating results with past periods and with the operational performance of other companies in the industry. The disclosure of these measures allows investors to evaluate the company’s performance using the same measures management uses in developing internal budgets and forecasts and in evaluating management’s compensation. Included below is a description of the expenses the company has determined are not normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary to operate the company’s business and the rationale for why providing these measures is useful to investors as a supplement to the GAAP measures.
Transformation Expenses — Costs incurred in connection with the company's turnaround plan and specific transformative activities related to asset optimization that the company does not view to be normal cash operating expenses. These expenses primarily include:
Distribution network optimization — Costs primarily relating to the conversion of the stores and DCs to market hubs, including temporary labor, team member severance, long-lived asset write off charges and incremental depreciation, as a result of accelerating depreciation of long-lived assets over a shorter useful life as a result of the optimization plans. Third-party professional services — Costs relating to non-recurring services rendered by third-party vendors assisting with the turnaround initiatives. Other Expenses — Costs incurred by the company that are not viewed as normal cash operating expenses and vary from period to period in terms of size, nature, and significance, including but not limited to executive turnover and incremental costs associated with remediating the company's previously-disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
Nonrecurring Tax Expense — Income tax incurred by the company from the book to tax basis difference in the Worldpac Canada stock directly resulting from the sale of Worldpac.

NOTE:
Adjusted SG&A, Adjusted SG&A as a percentage of Net sales, Adjusted operating income and Adjusted operating income margin (calculated by dividing Adjusted operating income by Net sales) are non-GAAP measures. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are important metrics in assessing the overall performance of the business and utilizes these metrics in its ongoing reporting. On that basis, management believes it is useful to provide these metrics to investors and prospective investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance across periods adjusting for these items (refer to the reconciliations of non-GAAP adjustments above). These non-GAAP measures might not be calculated in the same manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

NOTE:
Management believes its Adjusted Debt to Adjusted EBITDAR ratio (“leverage ratio”) is a key financial metric for debt securities, as reviewed by rating agencies, and believes its debt levels are best analyzed using this measure. The company’s goal is to maintain an investment grade rating. The company's credit rating directly impacts the interest rates on borrowings under its existing credit facility and could impact the company's ability to obtain additional funding. If the company was unable to maintain its investment grade rating, this could negatively impact future performance and limit growth opportunities. Similar measures are utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants and ratios contained in the company's financing arrangements. The leverage ratio calculated by the company is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a substitute for debt to net earnings, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The company adjusts the calculation to remove rent expense and to add back the company’s existing operating lease liabilities related to their right-of-use assets to provide a more meaningful comparison with the company’s peers and to account for differences in debt structures and leasing arrangements. The company’s calculation of its leverage ratio may not be calculated in the same manner as other companies, and thus may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Brake pads are essential components of a vehicle’s braking system, designed to create friction against the brake rotor or drum. These flat, metal-backed plates feature a friction material that, when the brake pedal is pressed, gets pressed against the spinning rotor through hydraulic pressure from the brake caliper. This action generates the necessary stopping force to decelerate or halt the vehicle. Due to regular wear from friction, brake pads should be frequently inspected and replaced to maintain safe braking performance. performance
Global Demand for Brake Pads in 2023
According to a recent market report, the global automotive brake pads market reached 6.097 billion yuan in 2022, with China accounting for 1 billion yuan.

The Aftermarket Warehouse Distributors Association (AWDA), a community of the Auto Care Association, presented its 2024 Pursuit of Excellence Award to Larry Pacey, president and CEO of NPW Companies.

Established in 1983, the Pursuit of Excellence Award is presented exclusively to an AWDA member for special achievement and for the setting of high standards as an example for others to follow, in business and in volunteer or advocacy efforts.

Pacey had a big vision for NPW Companies from the start. Within five years of founding, he evolved the business to include a retail parts store handling many performance lines. In 1974, the business became a warehouse distributor carrying all performance lines. Throughout the 1980s, Pacey grew the business through expansion into traditional parts and opened additional warehouses in Orlando and West Palm Beach, Florida. He added truck accessories to the company’s product offerings in 1998.
In 2008, Pacey’s team acquired Southern Performance Warehouse, marking the beginning of the company’s quest to significantly expand their footprint. Over the next 10 years, the company completed more than 20 acquisitions in many different regions. Through the strategic acquisition, organic sales growth and strong leadership, the company became dominant in the aftermarket and continues to grow quickly, even amid the uncertainty of the pandemic.
NPW Companies is known for its major industry-wide events, hosted by Pacey. At the company’s annual golf tournament, Pacey takes on all players on the “Beat the Boss” hole to ensure he gets to interact and play with every guest at the event. The company’s annual FAST Florida Automotive, Speed & Truck Expo brings in thousands of attendees. And the nearly 10-year-old Million Dollar Dinner, exclusive to vendor partners who do more than $1 million of business with NPW Companies, is a black-tie affair beloved by invitees. The company has also expanded its trade show presence to Canada.
Pacey and his team are actively involved within the industry as he formerly served on the boards of the AWDA Board of Governors.
Today, NPW operates in over 1,500,000 sq. ft. of warehouse space with 23 distribution centers, Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington and Canada. NPW services over 30,000 accounts in North America and several international markets. A team that size with that massive of a footprint needs a foundation to succeed and that begins with education and industry training.
NPW, as a member of the Alliance and under Pacey’s leadership, has both orchestrated and attended three successful Alliance Aftermarket Jackpot Conventions in Las Vegas, bringing more than 6,000 technicians and shop owners to AAPEX over the years. As a member of the Alliance Board of Directors, Pacey’s leadership and belief in education was a driving force in bringing large contingents of shop, service and repair professionals to AAPEX and connecting them with their distributor partners and the manufacturers who operate in the aftermarket channel.
Pacey and his team are Auto Care Political Action Committee (ACPAC) supporters, and are always seen on the hill as political advocates, actively engaging with both local and national lawmakers; advocating for H.R. 906 The REPAIR Act and the Technicians’ Right to Repair.
NPW’s team under Pacey’s leadership and guidance are active supporters of The University of the Aftermarket and the University of the Aftermarket Foundation, including the Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper scholarship program, which in total has provided nearly $600,000 to students pursuing industry and secondary education.
Pacey continues to sponsor Young Auto Care Networking Group (YANG) as well as Women in Auto Care (WiAC).
Outside of the industry, Pacey supports the First Tee program in Miami, Florida, which is a youth development organization that enables kids to build strength of character by integrating the game of golf with a life skills curriculum. His industry involvement is expansive and impressive company footprint are tributes to his success as a backbone and leader of the aftermarket.
