Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)




1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and subsidiaries is a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America, serving both “do-it-for-me”, or Professional, and “do-it-yourself”, or DIY customers. The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company and include the accounts of Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (“Advance”), its wholly owned subsidiary, Advance Stores Company, Incorporated (“Advance Stores”), and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “Advance”, “we”, “us”, “our” or “the Company”).

As of October 7, 2017, the Company operated a total of 5,074 stores and 129 distribution branches primarily within the United States, with additional locations in Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Company’s stores operate primarily under the trade names “Advance Auto Parts,” “Carquest” and “Autopart International,” and our distribution branches operate under the “Worldpac” trade name. In addition, as of October 7, 2017, the Company served approximately 1,250 independently-owned Carquest branded stores (“independent stores”) across the same geographic locations served by the Company’s stores in addition to Mexico, the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, the British Virgin Islands and the Pacific Islands.

The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company, the results of its operations and cash flows have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted based upon the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) interim reporting guidance. These 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 2016 as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2017.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The first quarter of each of the Company’s fiscal years contains sixteen weeks. The Company’s remaining three quarters consist of twelve weeks.

Segment and Related Information

Effective in the third quarter of 2017, the Company realigned its three geographic divisions, which included the operations of the stores operating under the Advance Auto Parts, Carquest and Autopart International trade names, into two US geographic divisions. As a result of this realignment and change in the operating structure of its Carquest Independent and Carquest Canada businesses, the Company has increased its number of operating segments from four to five. As a result, goodwill was reassigned to the affected reporting units using a relative fair value approach. The Company continues to aggregate its operating segments into one reportable segment.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” aimed at simplifying certain aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions. The areas for simplification include the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of 2017 and recorded a cumulative effect reduction to beginning retained earnings of $490 thousand related to the Company’s election to record forfeitures as they occur. In addition, the Company elected to retrospectively adopt the provision regarding the presentation of excess tax benefits in the statement of cash flows, which resulted in an increase in our net cash provided by operating activities and a decrease in our net cash provided by financing activities of $17.6 million for the forty weeks ended October 8, 2016. The provision requiring the inclusion of excess tax benefits (deficits) as a component of the provision for income taxes in the consolidated results of operations is being applied prospectively. The Company recorded excess tax benefits of $4.5 million as a reduction in Provision for income taxes during the forty weeks ended October 7, 2017. The impact of excess tax benefits was immaterial during the twelve weeks ended October 7, 2017.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” This ASU is a comprehensive new leases standard that amends various aspects of existing guidance for leases and requires additional disclosures about leasing arrangements. It will require lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for all leases, including those leases previously classified as operating leases under current GAAP. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. From a balance sheet perspective, the Company expects adoption of the new standard to have a material effect on its Total assets and Total liabilities as a result of recording the required right of use asset and associated lease liability. However, the Company has not completed its analysis and is unable to quantify the impact at this time. Currently, the Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2016-02 to have a material impact on its consolidated statements of operations as the majority of its leases will remain operating in nature. As such, the expense recognition will be similar to previously required straight-line expense treatment. The Company is also in the process of identifying changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2019.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” This ASU, along with subsequent ASU’s issued to clarify certain provisions of ASU 2014-09, is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that expands disclosure requirements and requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt the new standard effective December 31, 2017 and will apply the modified retrospective method. The Company has analyzed the impact of ASU 2014-09, as amended, on its revenue contracts, comparing the Company’s current accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard and identified differences that would result from applying the new standard to its contracts. The Company has determined the adoption of the new standard will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the Company does not anticipate any significant changes to business processes, controls or systems as a result of adopting the new standard.

2. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company used the LIFO method of accounting for approximately 88% and 89% of inventories at October 7, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Under the LIFO method, the Company’s cost of sales reflects the costs of the most recently purchased inventories, while the inventory carrying balance represents the costs for inventories purchased in 2017 and prior years. As a result of changes in the LIFO reserve, the Company recorded a reduction to cost of sales of $6.5 million and $48.7 million for the forty weeks ended October 7, 2017 and October 8, 2016.

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is performed by the Company at the end of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.

Inventory balances were as follows:

3. Exit Activities

Integration of Carquest stores

The Company is in the process of a multi-year integration, which includes the consolidation and conversion of its Carquest stores acquired with General Parts International, Inc. (“GPI”) on January 2, 2014. As of October 7, 2017, 345 Carquest stores acquired with GPI had been consolidated into existing Advance Auto Parts stores and 414 stores had been converted to the Advance Auto Parts format. During the twelve weeks ended October 7, 2017, a total of three Carquest stores were consolidated and 37 Carquest stores were converted. During the forty weeks ended October 7, 2017, a total of 12 Carquest stores were consolidated and 132 Carquest stores were converted. We expect to consolidate or convert the remaining U.S. Carquest stores over the next few years. As of October 7, 2017, the Company had 463 stores still operating under the Carquest name.

The Company incurred $2.2 million of exit costs related to the consolidations during the twelve weeks ended October 8, 2016, primarily related to closed store lease obligations. Exit costs were immaterial during the twelve weeks ended October 7, 2017. The Company incurred $1.0 million and $17.6 million of exit costs related to the consolidations during the forty weeks ended October 7, 2017 and October 8, 2016 primarily related to closed store lease obligations. These costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

2017 Field and Support Center Restructuring

In June 2017, the Company restructured its field organization and streamlined its operating structure. The restructuring activity was substantially complete as of October 7, 2017 and resulted in the recognition of $7.7 million of expenses related to severance. These costs are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Total Exit Liabilities

The Company’s total exit liabilities include liabilities recorded in connection with the consolidation of Carquest stores and restructuring activities described above, along with liabilities associated with facility closures that have occurred as part of our normal market evaluation process. Cash payments on the closed facility lease obligations are expected to be made through 2028 and the remaining severance payments are expected to be made in 2017. Of the Company’s total exit liabilities as of October 7, 2017, $21.8 million is included in Other long-term liabilities and the remainder is included in Accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

The fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes was determined using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices. The Company believes the carrying value of its other long-term debt approximates fair value. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Bank Debt

On January 31, 2017, the Company entered into a new credit agreement which provides a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2017 Credit Agreement”) with Advance Stores, as Borrower, the lenders party thereto, and Bank of America, N.A., as the administrative agent. This new revolver under the 2017 Credit Agreement replaced the revolver under the 2013 Credit Agreement. The 2017 Credit Agreement provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sublimit of $200.0 million. The Company may request that the total revolving commitment be increased by an amount not exceeding $250.0 million during the term of the 2017 Credit Agreement. Voluntary prepayments and voluntary reductions of the revolving loan balance, if any, are permitted in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, in minimum principal amounts as specified in the 2017 Credit Agreement. The 2017 Credit Agreement terminates in January 2022; however, the Company may request one or two one-year extensions of the termination date prior to the first or second anniversary of the closing date.

As of October 7, 2017, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolver and borrowing availability was $576.1 million based on applicable covenant restrictions under the Company’s leverage ratio. As of October 7, 2017, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $99.7 million, which generally have a term of one year or less and primarily serve as collateral for the Company’s self-insurance policies.


7

The interest rates on outstanding amounts, if any, on the revolving facility under the 2017 Credit Agreement will be based, at the Company’s option, on an adjusted LIBOR, plus a margin, or an alternate base rate, plus a margin. After an initial interest period, the Company may elect to convert a particular borrowing to a different type. The initial margins per annum for the revolving loan are 1.10% for the adjusted LIBOR and 0.10% for alternate base rate borrowings. A facility fee of 0.15% per annum will be charged on the total revolving facility commitment, payable quarterly in arrears. Under the terms of the 2017 Credit Agreement, the interest rate spread, facility fee and commitment fee will be based on the Company’s credit rating. The interest rate spread ranges from 1.00% to 1.85% for adjusted LIBOR borrowings and 0.00% to 0.85% for alternate base rate borrowings.

The 2017 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants restricting the ability of: (a) Advance Stores and its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) create, incur or assume additional debt (only with respect to subsidiaries of Advance Stores), (ii) incur liens, (iii) guarantee obligations, and (iv) change the nature of its business conducted by itself and its subsidiaries; (b) Advance, Advance Stores and their subsidiaries to, among other things (i) enter into certain hedging arrangements, (ii) enter into restrictive agreements limiting their ability to incur liens on any of their property or assets, pay distributions, repay loans, or guarantee indebtedness of their subsidiaries; and (c) Advance, among other things, to change the holding company status of Advance. Advance Stores is required to comply with financial covenants with respect to a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum coverage ratio. The 2017 Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default, including non-payment defaults, covenant defaults and cross-defaults of Advance Stores’ other material indebtedness. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants with respect to the 2017 Credit Agreement as of October 7, 2017.

Debt Guarantees

The Company is a guarantor of loans made by banks to various independently owned Carquest branded stores that are customers of the Company totaling $25.7 million as of October 7, 2017. These loans are collateralized by security agreements on merchandise inventory and other assets of the borrowers. The approximate value of the inventory collateralized by these agreements is $62.0 million as of October 7, 2017. The Company believes that the likelihood of performance under these guarantees is remote.

7. Earnings per Share

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by including the effect of dilutive securities. Share-based awards to purchase approximately 176 thousand and 22 thousand shares of common stock during the twelve week periods ended October 7, 2017 and October 8, 2016 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. Share-based awards to purchase approximately 142 thousand and 22 thousand shares of common stock during the forty week periods ended October 7, 2017 and October 8, 2016 were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive.

8. Share-Based Compensation

During the forty week period ended October 7, 2017, the Company granted 228 thousand time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), 51 thousand performance-based RSUs and 25 thousand market-based RSUs. The general terms of the time-based and performance-based RSUs are similar to awards previously granted by the Company. The market-based RSUs will vest based on the Company’s relative total shareholder return among a designated group of peer companies during a three-year period and will be subject to a one-year holding period after vesting.

The weighted average fair values of the time-based, performance-based and market-based RSUs granted during the forty week period ended October 7, 2017 were $97.34, $151.35 and $111.65 per share. For time-based and performance-based RSUs, the fair value of each award was determined based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant adjusted for expected dividends during the vesting period, as applicable. The fair value of each market-based RSU was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Total share-based compensation expense included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations was $8.2 million for the twelve week period ended October 7, 2017 and the related income tax benefit recognized was $3.1 million. Total share-based compensation expense included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations was $28.2 million for the forty week period ended October 7, 2017 and the related income tax benefit recognized was $10.5 million. As of October 7, 2017, there was $47.5 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to all share-based awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

10. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements


Certain 100% wholly owned domestic subsidiaries of Advance, including its Material Subsidiaries (as defined in the 2017 Credit Agreement) serve as guarantors of Advance’s senior unsecured notes (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”). The subsidiary guarantees related to Advance’s senior unsecured notes are full and unconditional and joint and several, and there are no restrictions on the ability of Advance to obtain funds from its Guarantor Subsidiaries. Certain of Advance’s wholly owned subsidiaries, including all of its foreign subsidiaries, do not serve as guarantors of Advance’s senior unsecured notes (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

Set forth below are condensed consolidating financial statements presenting the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of (i) Advance, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries, (iii) the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, and (iv) the eliminations necessary to arrive at consolidated information for the Company. Investments in subsidiaries of the Company are presented under the equity method. The statement of operations eliminations relate primarily to the sale of inventory from a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary to a Guarantor Subsidiary. The balance sheet eliminations relate primarily to the elimination of intercompany receivables and payables and subsidiary investment accounts.
