“We are pleased that our fourth quarter profitability results exceeded
our expectations. Our comparable sales trends continued to improve
sequentially, after adjusting for the holiday shift in our fourth
quarter, as well as our operating profits,” said Darren R. Jackson,
President and Chief Executive Officer. “Overall fiscal 2012 was a
challenging environment, which is reflected in our results. Yet we
achieved many key milestones that position us for a strong future. Those
achievements include the launch of our in-house commercial credit
program, the opening of our new distribution center in Remington,
Indiana, improvements in our commercial customer satisfaction, the
market entry into the boroughs of New York and the acquisition of BWP
which closed after our fiscal year ended. These milestones are
significant steps which will allow us to more effectively compete in the
larger and faster growing Commercial market.”
Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2012 Highlights
Total sales for the fourth quarter increased 0.1% to $1.33 billion, as
compared with total sales during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. The
sales increase reflected a comparable store sales decrease of 1.9%
versus a comparable store sales increase of 2.9% during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2011, partially offset by the net addition of 132 new
stores over the past 12 months. For fiscal 2012, total sales increased
0.6% to $6.21 billion, compared with total sales of $6.17 billion during
fiscal 2011.
The Company's gross profit rate was 49.9% of sales during the fourth
quarter as compared to 49.0% during the fourth quarter last year. The 87
basis-point increase in gross profit rate was primarily due to
improvements in shrink and supply chain efficiencies. The supply chain
efficiencies, which were driven by an increase in the volume of
inventory handled during the quarter, more than offset the increase in
supply chain costs associated with the opening of the Company's new
distribution center and increased new store openings. For fiscal 2012,
the Company's gross profit rate was 49.9%, compared with 49.7% in fiscal
2011.
The Company's SG&A rate was 41.4% of sales during the fourth quarter as
compared to 40.6% during the same period last year. The 79 basis-point
increase was primarily due to expense deleverage as a result of the
Company's 1.9% comp store sales decline, increased new store openings
and costs associated with the Company's acquisition related activities
during the quarter, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.
For fiscal 2012, the Company's SG&A rate was 39.3% versus 39.0% during
fiscal 2011.
The Company's operating income during the fourth quarter of $113.2
million increased 1.1% versus the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. On a
rate basis, operating income was 8.5% of total sales as compared to 8.4%
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. For fiscal 2012, the Company's
operating income rate was 10.6% versus 10.8% during fiscal 2011.
Operating cash flow decreased 17.3% to $685.3 million from $828.8
million through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011. Free cash flow was
$412.3 million versus $507.2 million through the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2011. Capital expenditures were $271.2 million as compared to
$268.1 million through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.
“2012 was a challenging year for our company primarily driven by the
ongoing softness in our colder weather markets and decreased consumer
demand for auto parts. While we are disappointed we did not achieve our
growth and profitability expectations for the year, we are encouraged by
our improved sales performance trends versus the market,” said Mike
Norona, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Our
decision to maintain our investment profile through the course of the
year is driven by our confidence in the long-term industry fundamentals
and provides us with a strong foundation to build upon as we head into
fiscal 2013.”

In fiscal 2013, the Company anticipates a low-single digit increase in
comparable store sales driven by continued strong Commercial sales
growth. The Company expects a modest increase in gross profit rate. The
Company expects its rate of growth in SG&A dollars per store to increase
three to five percent.
As a result of the acquisition of BWP Distributors, Inc. (BWP), the
Company estimates that BWP will add roughly $170 million to $180 million
of revenue in fiscal 2013. The Company anticipates BWP will generate
positive operating income when excluding the impact of one-time
integration costs. Additionally, the Company anticipates free cash flow
will be a minimum of $375 million, excluding the net acquisition price
of BWP, which was approximately one times the anticipated additional
revenue from BWP in fiscal 2013.
“Our 2013 annual operating EPS outlook will be in the range of $5.45 to
$5.60 per share excluding one-time integration costs for BWP of
approximately $0.15 to $.20 per share. On a reported basis, including
the BWP one-time integration costs, our EPS outlook is expected to be
$5.30 to $5.45,” said Mike Norona, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer. "Consistent with our historical practice, our outlook
does not reflect any anticipated share repurchase activity. However, we
plan to continue our historical practice of opportunistically
repurchasing shares in a disciplined manner, which could positively
impact our 2013 annual EPS outlook."
Share Repurchase Program
As of December 29, 2012, the Company had approximately $492 million
available on the Company's $500 million share repurchase program
authorized by the Company's Board of Directors on May 14, 2012.
Dividend
On February 5, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors declared a regular
quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share to be paid on April 5, 2013
to stockholders of record as of March 22, 2013.

Note: Management uses ROIC to evaluate return on investments to
the business and believes it is a useful indicator to stockholders
given the future investments the Company plans to make in areas
including information technology, supply chain and stores. ROIC is
a non-GAAP measure and should be considered in addition to, but
not as a substitute for, information contained in our condensed
consolidated financial statements. Management believes our
comparable results of operations are a useful indicator to
stockholders for consistency purposes.
