Fiscal 2015 and 2014 include certain non-comparable expenses
and Fiscal 2014 includes an additional week of business (53rd
week). The Comparable SG&A, Comparable Operating Income and
Comparable Cash EPS for the twelve weeks ended January 2, 2016 and
January 3, 2015, respectively, have been reported on a comparable
basis to exclude General Parts integration, store closure and
consolidation costs and support center restructuring costs of
$47.2 million and $36.7 million, respectively, and General Parts
amortization of acquired intangible assets of $9.7 million and
$9.9 million, respectively. The Comparable SG&A, Comparable
Operating Income and Comparable Cash EPS for the fiscal years
ended January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015, respectively, have been
reported on a comparable basis to exclude General Parts
integration, store consolidation costs and support center
restructuring costs of $127.1 million and $82.2 million,
respectively, and General Parts amortization of acquired
intangible assets of $42.3 million and $42.7 million,
respectively. Comparable Sales and Comparable Gross Profit for the
twelve and fifty-two weeks ended January 3, 2015 have been
reported on a comparable basis to exclude the impact of the 53rd
week. For a better understanding of the Company's comparable
results, refer to the presentation of the respective financial
measures on a GAAP basis and reconciliation of the financial
results reported on a comparable basis to the GAAP basis in the
accompanying financial tables in this press release.

“Fourth quarter sales results did not meet our expectations, however, we
demonstrated additional cost discipline to offset the softer than
expected sales and met our earnings expectations," said George Sherman,
President and Interim Chief Executive Officer. "We are a company
composed of 5,300 hyper-local businesses that serve the needs of our
valuable local customers. We recognize that the best way to
substantially improve our customers' experience is to empower our
terrific team members who touch those customers every day. We are
therefore adapting to a more empowered, field-centric organization that
aggressively pursues improved profitability while achieving better than
market top line growth. We are relentlessly pursuing opportunities to
reduce expenses and increase efficiency while providing our customers
with an exemplary experience that drives increased frequency. Through
these actions, we fully expect to generate greater profitability and
value for our shareholders."
Fourth Quarter & Full Year 2015 Highlights
On a Comparable basis, total sales for the fourth quarter decreased 2.6%
to $2.03 billion, as compared with total sales during the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2014 of $2.09 billion. The sales decline was driven by the
comparable store sales decrease of 2.5% and the impact of previously
announced store closures executed in the fourth quarter partially offset
by new store openings. Our comparable store sales were negatively
impacted by approximately 90 basis points related to the year-over-year
timing of the New Year's day holiday which fell in the 53rd week last
year, 46 basis points due to foreign exchange currency fluctuations from
our Canadian business, as well as lower demand for seasonal categories
due to warmer winter weather, partially offset by the favorable
consolidation impact from Carquest stores. On a GAAP basis, total sales
for the fourth quarter were $2.03 billion for fiscal 2015 compared to
$2.24 billion for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. For fiscal 2015,
the Company's Comparable and GAAP total sales were $9.74 billion. On a
Comparable and GAAP basis, the Company's total sales for fiscal 2014
were $9.69 billion and $9.84 billion, respectively.
On both a Comparable and GAAP basis, the Company's Gross Profit rate was
44.7% of sales during the fourth quarter as compared to 44.9% during the
fourth quarter last year. The 15 basis-point decrease in gross profit
rate was primarily the result of supply chain expense deleverage due to
the comparable store sales decline, partially offset by lower shrink
expenses. On a Comparable and GAAP basis, the Company's gross profit
rate was 45.4% for fiscal 2015 versus 45.2% over the same period last
year.
The Company's Comparable SG&A rate was 37.0% of sales during the fourth
quarter as compared to 36.6% during the same period last year. The 33
basis-point increase was primarily the result of expense deleverage from
the comparable store sales decline partially offset by our continued
cost reduction initiatives and disciplined efforts to lower
administrative and support costs. On a GAAP basis, the Company's SG&A
rate was 39.8% of sales during the fourth quarter as compared to 38.3%
during the same period last year. For fiscal 2015, the Company's
Comparable SG&A rate was 35.2% versus 35.4% over the same period last
year. On a GAAP basis, the Company's SG&A rate was 36.9% for fiscal 2015
versus 36.6% over the same period last year.
The Company's Comparable Operating Income was $157.6 million during the
fourth quarter, a decrease of 8.2% versus the fourth quarter of fiscal
2014. As a percentage of sales, Comparable Operating Income in the
fourth quarter was 7.7% compared to 8.2% during the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2014. On a GAAP basis, the Company's operating income during the
fourth quarter of $100.7 million decreased 31.1% versus the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2014. On a GAAP basis, the Operating Income rate was
5.0% during the fourth quarter as compared to 6.5% during the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2014. For fiscal 2015, the Company's Comparable
Operating Income rate was 10.2% versus 9.9% during fiscal 2014. For
fiscal 2015, the Company's GAAP Operating Income rate was 8.5% versus
8.7% during fiscal 2014.
Operating cash flow decreased approximately 2.7% to $689.6 million in
fiscal 2015 from $709.0 million in fiscal 2014. Free cash flow decreased
to $454.9 million in fiscal 2015 from $480.5 million in fiscal 2014.
Capital expenditures in fiscal 2015 were $234.7 million as compared to
$228.4 million in fiscal 2014.

Comparable store sales estimate excludes sales to independently
owned Carquest locations and includes the impact of Carquest store
consolidations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
|
Adjusted Operating Income excludes one-time expenses related to the
integration of General Parts, restructuring expenses and the
recurring amortization of General Parts' intangible assets. Adjusted
Operating Income is a non-GAAP measure. Because of the
forward-looking nature of these non-GAAP financial measures,
specific quantifications of the amounts that would be required to
reconcile these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly
comparable GAAP financial measures are not available at this time.
Management believes Adjusted Operating Income is an important
measure in assessing the overall performance of the business and
utilizes this metric in its ongoing reporting. On that basis,
Management believes it is useful to provide Adjusted Operating
Income to investors and prospective investors to evaluate Advance’s
operating performance across periods adjusting for non-operating
items. Adjusted Operating Income might not be calculated in the same
manner as, and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled
measures reported by other companies. Adjusted Operating Income
should not be used by investors or third parties as the sole basis
for formulating investment decisions, as it excludes a number of
important cash and non-cash recurring items.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3.
|
|
The $75 million to $90 million estimate of incremental one-time
costs includes $65 million to $75 million related to ongoing
integration efforts and an additional $10 million to $15 million
related to supply chain optimization work which includes the closure
of the Company's Sutton, MA distribution center and additional
activities contemplated as part of the first phase of work. The
Company will provide additional details of its multi-year supply
chain optimization work and potential future one-time costs as it
finalizes those plans. One-time integration related costs are
expected to exceed the initial $190 million estimate previously
shared at the time of the GPI acquisition as we have trued up
estimates, expanded the scope and taken additional structural
actions to drive improved efficiency and profitability.

developments, and typically use words such as believe, anticipate,
expect, intend, plan, forecast, outlook or estimate. These forward
looking statements include, but are not limited to, key assumptions for

statements that are not statements of historical facts. These
forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks,
uncertainties and assumptions, and actual future events or results may
differ materially from such forward-looking statements. Such differences
may result from, among other things, the risk that the benefits of the

realized or may take longer to realize than expected; the possibility
that the General Parts acquisition may not advance AAP’s business
strategy; the risk that AAP may experience difficulty integrating
General Parts’ employees, business systems and technology; the potential
diversion of AAP’s management’s attention from AAP’s other businesses
resulting from the General Parts acquisition; the impact of the General
Parts acquisition on third-party relationships, including customers,
wholesalers, independently owned and jobber stores and suppliers; AAP’s
ability to attract, develop and retain executives and other employees;
changes in regulatory, social and political conditions, as well as
general economic conditions; competitive pressures; demand for AAP’s and
General Parts' products; the market for auto parts; the economy in
general; inflation; consumer debt levels; the weather; business
interruptions; information technology security; availability of suitable
real estate; dependence on foreign suppliers; and other factors
disclosed in AAP’s 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015 and
other filings made by AAP with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

comparable adjustments to Q4 2014 include adjustments to remove
the impact of the 53rd week of operations and adjustments to
Selling, general and administrative expenses for General Parts
integration and store consolidation costs of $36.7 million and
General Parts amortization of acquired intangible assets of $9.9
million.
|

previously prepared statements of operations filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for our prior quarter and

GAAP for complete financial statements and inclusion of certain
non-GAAP adjustments and measures as described in footnote (a)
above. Management believes the reporting of comparable results is
important in assessing the overall performance of the business and
is therefore useful for investors and prospective investors.

NOTE: Management uses free cash flow as a measure of our
liquidity and believes it is a useful indicator to stockholders of
our ability to implement our growth strategies and service our
debt. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure and should be
considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for,
information contained in our condensed consolidated statement of
cash flows.

The comparable adjustments to the four quarters ended January

consolidation costs and support center restructuring costs of
$127.1 million. The comparable adjustments to Fiscal 2014 include

NOTE: Management believes its Adjusted Debt to EBITDAR ratio
(“leverage ratio”) is a key financial metric and believes its debt
levels are best analyzed using this measure. The Company’s goal
was to quickly pay down debt resulting from the GPI acquisition in
order to get back to a 2.5 times leverage ratio and maintain an
investment grade rating. The leverage ratio calculated by the
Company is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a
substitute for debt to net earnings, net earnings or debt as
determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s calculation of
its leverage ratio might not be calculated in the same manner as,
and thus might not be comparable to, similarly titled measures by
other companies.

These financial measures for the twelve weeks ended January 2,
2016 have been reported on a GAAP basis which includes the impact
of General Parts integration, store closure and consolidation and
support center restructuring costs of $47.2 million and General
Parts amortization of acquired intangible assets of $9.7 million.
These financial measures for the thirteen weeks ended January 3,
2015 have been reported on a GAAP basis which includes the impact
of a 53rd week of operations, General Parts integration and store
consolidation costs of $36.7 million and General Parts
amortization of acquired intangible assets of $9.9 million. These
financial measures for the fiscal 2015 year ended January 2, 2016
have been reported on a GAAP basis which includes the impact of
General Parts integration, store closure and consolidation costs
and support center restructuring costs of $127.1 million and
General Parts amortization of acquired intangible assets of $42.3
million. These financial measures for the fiscal 2014 year ended
January 3, 2015 have been reported on a GAAP basis which includes
the impact of a 53rd week of operations, General Parts integration
and store consolidation costs of $82.2 million and General Parts
amortization of acquired intangible assets of $42.7 million. These
financial measures should be read in conjunction with our
financial measures presented on a comparable basis earlier in this
press release. Management believes the reporting of financial
results on a non-GAAP basis to remain comparable is important in
assessing the overall performance of our base business and is
therefore useful for investors and prospective investors.
