Basis of Presentation:
|
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, or the Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 23, 2011, January 1, 2011 and April 24, 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the sixteen week periods ended April 23, 2011 and April 24, 2010, the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the sixteen week periods ended April 23, 2011 and April 24, 2010 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the sixteen week periods ended April 23, 2011 and April 24, 2010, have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only 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. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2011, or Fiscal 2010.
The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. These policies are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2010 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 1, 2011).
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the activity within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The updated guidance also clarifies existing disclosures regarding the level of disaggregation of assets or liabilities and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value. The updated guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, with the exception of the new Level 3 activity disclosures, which are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of ASU 2010-06 had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company used the LIFO method of accounting for approximately 95% of inventories at April 23, 2011, January 1, 2011 and April 24, 2010. Under LIFO, 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 Fiscal 2011 and prior years. The Company’s overall costs to acquire inventory for the same or similar products have generally decreased historically as the Company has been able to leverage its continued growth. Additionally, the Company’s inventory costs have decreased in recent years as a result of the Company’s execution of merchandise strategies and realization of supply chain efficiencies. As a result of utilizing LIFO, the Company recorded a reduction to cost of sales of $4,083 and $18,250 for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 and April 24, 2010, respectively.
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 fiscal year-end inventory levels and costs.
Inventory balances at April 23, 2011, January 1, 2011 and April 24, 2010 were as follows:

Senior Unsecured Notes
The Company’s 5.75% senior unsecured notes, the Notes, were issued in April 2010 at 99.587% of the principal amount of $300,000 and are due May 1, 2020. The parent company, or Advance, served as the issuer of the Notes with each of Advance’s domestic subsidiaries currently serving as a subsidiary guarantor. The terms of the Notes are governed by an indenture and supplemental indenture (collectively the “Indenture”) among the Company, the subsidiary guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.75% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time or from time to time, at the redemption price described in the Indenture. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will be required to offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. The Notes are currently fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsubordinated and unsecured basis by each of the subsidiary guarantors. The Company will be permitted to release guarantees without the consent of holders of the Notes under the circumstances described in the Indenture.

The Indenture contains customary provisions for events of default including for (i) failure to pay principal or interest when due and payable, (ii) failure to comply with covenants or agreements in the Indenture or the Notes and failure to cure or obtain a waiver of such default upon notice, (iii) a default under any debt for money borrowed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries that results in acceleration of the maturity of such debt, or failure to pay any such debt within any applicable grace period after final stated maturity, in an aggregate amount greater than $25,000 without such debt having been discharged or acceleration having been rescinded or annulled within 10 days after receipt by the Company of notice of the default by the Trustee or holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, and (iv) events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization affecting the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. In the case of an event of default, the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest may be accelerated. The Indenture also contains covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt secured by liens and to enter into sale and lease-back transactions.
Bank Debt
The Company has a $750,000 unsecured five-year revolving credit facility with Advance’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Advance Stores Company, Incorporated, or Stores, serving as the borrower. The revolving credit facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sub-limit of $300,000, and swingline loans in an amount not to exceed $50,000. The Company may request, subject to agreement by one or more lenders, that the total revolving commitment be increased by an amount not exceeding $250,000 (up to a total commitment of $1,000,000) during the term of the credit agreement. Voluntary prepayments and voluntary reductions of the revolving balance are permitted in whole or in part, at the Company’s option, in minimum principal amounts as specified in the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility matures on October 5, 2011.
As of April 23, 2011, the Company had $130,200 outstanding under its revolving credit facility, and had letters of credit outstanding of $93,268, which reduced the availability under the revolving credit facility to $526,532. (The letters of credit generally have a term of one year or less.) A commitment fee is charged on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, payable in arrears. The current commitment fee rate is 0.125% per annum. Although the Company’s revolving credit facility matures in the next twelve months, the Company classified the balance outstanding as of April 23, 2011 as long-term in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of April 23, 2011 since the Company had the intent and ability to refinance the balance on a long-term basis. Subsequent to April 23, 2011, the Company completed the refinancing of its revolving credit facility as described further below.
The Company’s revolving credit facility contains covenants restricting its ability to, among other things: (1) create, incur or assume additional debt, (2) incur liens or engage in sale-leaseback transactions, (3) make loans and investments (including acquisitions), (4) guarantee obligations, (5) engage in certain mergers and liquidations, (6) change the nature of the Company’s business and the business conducted by its subsidiaries, (7) enter into certain hedging transactions, and (8) change Advance’s status as a holding company. The Company is also required to comply with financial covenants with respect to a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at April 23, 2011 and January 1, 2011. The Company’s revolving credit facility also provides for customary events of default, covenant defaults and cross-defaults to its other material indebtedness.
The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is based, at the Company’s option, on an adjusted LIBOR rate, plus a margin, or an alternate base rate, plus a margin. The current margin is 0.625% and 0.0% per annum for the adjusted LIBOR and alternate base rate borrowings, respectively. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, the interest rate and commitment fee are based on the Company’s credit rating.

Debt Guarantees
Each of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries serves as guarantors of the Notes and revolving credit facility with Advance also serving as guarantor of the revolving credit facility. The subsidiary guarantees related to the Company’s revolving credit facility and Notes are full and unconditional and joint and several, and there are no restrictions on the ability of Advance to obtain funds from its subsidiaries. Also, Advance has no independent assets or operations, and the subsidiaries not guaranteeing the revolving credit facility and Notes are minor as defined by the SEC.
Subsequent Event
On May 27, 2011, the Company entered into a new $750,000 unsecured five-year revolving credit facility with Stores serving as the borrower. This new facility replaced the Company’s previous revolving credit facility. Proceeds from the new revolving credit facility were used to repay $165,000 of principal outstanding on the Company’s previous revolving credit facility. In conjunction with this refinancing, the Company incurred approximately $3,600 of financing costs which it will amortize over the term of the new revolving credit facility.
The terms of the new revolving credit facility are generally similar to the previous facility. Certain of the significant terms that are different from the previous facility include, but are not limited to: (1) initial margin is 1.5% and 0.5% per annum for the adjusted LIBOR rate and alternate base rate borrowing, respectively, (2) a facility fee of 0.25% on the total amount of the facility, (3) a change in the calculation of the maximum leverage ratio, and (4) the new revolving credit facility is guaranteed by Advance and certain domestic subsidiaries of Stores, including its Material Subsidiaries (as defined in the credit agreement).

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities:
|
The Company had previously entered into interest rate swap agreements as a hedge to the variable rate interest payments on its bank debt. Effective April 24, 2010, the Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps no longer qualified for hedge accounting as a result of the Company’s intent to pay off its bank debt with the proceeds from the offering of the Notes. Accordingly, the Company has recorded all subsequent changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps through earnings and will amortize the remaining $4,963 of previously recorded unrecognized loss in accumulated other comprehensive loss over the remaining life of the swaps which mature in October 2011. As of April 23, 2011, the Company had interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $275,000 at rates ranging from 4.01% to 4.98%.
The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of April 23, 2011, January 1, 2011 and April 24, 2010:

Fair Value Measurements:
|
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of these assets or liabilities. These levels are:
·
|
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
|
·
|
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities at the measurement date, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are less active, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability or corroborated by other observable market data.
|
·
|
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities that are not able to be corroborated by observable market data and reflect the use of a reporting entity’s own assumptions. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.
|
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

The fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps represent the estimated amounts that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration the difference between the contract rate of interest and rates currently quoted for agreements of similar terms and maturities (based on the forward yield curve).
The carrying amount of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank overdrafts, financed vendor accounts payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and current portion of long term debt approximate their fair values due to the relatively short term nature of these instruments. As of April 23, 2011, January 1, 2011 and April 24, 2010, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt with a carrying value of $430,832, $300,851 and $277,695, respectively, was approximately $451,000, $316,000 and $273,000, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes was determined based on quoted market prices. The Company believes that the carrying value of its other long-term debt and certain long-term liabilities approximate fair value.
Non-Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). At April 23, 2011, the Company had no significant non-financial assets or liabilities that had been adjusted to fair value subsequent to initial recognition.

Stock Repurchase Program:
|
The Company’s stock repurchase program allows it to repurchase its common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time in accordance with the requirements of the SEC. During the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011, the Company repurchased 4,237 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $269,983, or an average price of $63.72 per share. Of the total shares repurchased, the Company repurchased 1,938 shares at a cost of $121,561 under its $300,000 stock repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors on August 10, 2010, and 2,299 shares at a cost of $148,422 under its $500,000 stock repurchase program authorized by its Board of Directors on February 8, 2011. At April 23, 2011, the Company had $351,578 remaining under the $500,000 stock repurchase program. Of the Company’s shares repurchased during the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011, 138 shares settled subsequent to April 23, 2011.
Additionally, the Company repurchased 71 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $4,402 in connection with the net settlement of shares issued as a result of the vesting of restricted stock during the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011.
During the sixteen weeks ended April 24, 2010, the Company repurchased 6,912 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $287,666, or an average price of $41.62 per share, under its prior $500,000 stock repurchase program, authorized by its Board of Directors on February 16, 2010. Additionally, the Company repurchased 43 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $1,741 in connection with the net settlement of shares issued as a result of the vesting of restricted stock during the sixteen weeks ended April 24, 2010.
Subsequent to April 23, 2011, the Company repurchased 1,156 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $73,822, or an average price of $63.84 per share. As of May 27, 2011, the Company had $277,756 remaining under the $500,000 stock repurchase program.
Certain of the Company’s shares granted to employees in the form of restricted stock are considered participating securities which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. For the sixteen week periods ended April 23, 2011 and April 24, 2010, earnings of $342 and $532, respectively, were allocated to the participating securities.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by including the effect of dilutive securities. Share-based awards to purchase approximately 3 and 67 shares of common stock that had an exercise price in excess of the average market price of the common stock during the sixteen week periods ended April 23, 2011 and April 24, 2010, respectively, were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this report. Our first quarter consists of 16 weeks divided into four equal periods. Our remaining three quarters consist of 12 weeks with each quarter divided into three equal periods.
Certain statements in this report are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are usually identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "forecast," "intend," "likely," "may," "plan," "position," "possible," "potential," "probable," "project," "projection," "should," "strategy," "will," or similar expressions. We intend for any forward-looking statements to be covered by, and we claim the protection under, the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward-looking statements reflect current views about our plans, strategies and prospects, which are based on information currently available.
Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations as reflected in or suggested by any forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not guarantee or give assurance that such plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. Actual results may differ materially from our anticipated results described or implied in our forward-looking statements, and such differences may be due to a variety of factors. Our business could also be affected by additional factors that are presently unknown to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial to our business.
Listed below and discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2011 (filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 1, 2011), which we refer to as our 2010 Form 10-K, are some important risks, uncertainties and contingencies which could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any forward-looking statements made or implied in this report. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
·
|
a decrease in demand for our products;
|
·
|
competitive pricing and other competitive pressures;
|
·
|
our ability to implement our business strategy;
|
·
|
our ability to expand our business, including the location of available and suitable real estate for new store locations, the integration of any acquired businesses and the continued increase in supply chain capacity and efficiency;
|
·
|
our ability to attract and retain qualified employees, or Team Members;
|
·
|
deterioration in general macro-economic conditions, including unemployment, inflation or deflation, consumer debt levels, high fuel and energy costs, uncertain credit markets or other recessionary type conditions which could have a negative impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows;
|
·
|
regulatory and legal risks, such as environmental or OSHA risks, including being named as a defendant in administrative investigations or litigation, and the incurrence of legal fees and costs, the payment of fines or the payment of sums to settle litigation cases or administrative investigations or proceedings;
|
·
|
business interruptions due to the occurrence of natural disasters, extended periods of unfavorable weather, computer system malfunction, wars or acts of terrorism; and
|
·
|
the impact of global climate change or legal and regulatory responses to such change.
|
We assume no obligations to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In evaluating forward-looking statements, you should consider these risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described from time to time in our other reports and documents filed with the SEC and you should not place undue reliance on those statements.
Introduction
We are a leading specialty retailer of automotive aftermarket parts, accessories, batteries and maintenance items primarily operating within the United States. Our stores carry an extensive product line for cars, vans, sport utility vehicles and light trucks. We serve both "do-it-yourself," or DIY, and “do-it-for-me,” or Commercial, customers. Our Commercial customers consist primarily of delivery customers for whom we deliver product from our store locations to our Commercial customers’ places of business, including independent garages, service stations and auto dealers. At April 23, 2011, we operated a total of 3,600 stores.
We operate in two reportable segments: Advance Auto Parts, or AAP, and Autopart International, Inc., or AI. The AAP segment is comprised of our store operations within the Northeastern, Southeastern and Midwestern regions of the United States, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands which operate under the trade names “Advance Auto Parts,” “Advance Discount Auto Parts” and “Western Auto.” At April 23, 2011, we operated 3,397 stores in the AAP segment. Our AAP stores offer a broad selection of brand name and proprietary automotive replacement parts, accessories and maintenance items for domestic and imported cars and light trucks. The AAP segment also includes our e-commerce operations.
At April 23, 2011, we operated 203 stores in the AI segment under the “Autopart International” trade name. AI’s business primarily serves the Commercial market from its store locations in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States and Florida. In addition, its North American Sales Division services warehouse distributors and jobbers throughout North America. For additional information regarding our segments, see Note 10, Segments and Related Information, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Management Overview
Our sales and earnings momentum from Fiscal 2010 decelerated during our sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 (“first quarter of Fiscal 2011”). We generated earnings per diluted share, or diluted EPS, of $1.35 compared to $1.19 for the comparable period of Fiscal 2010. The increase in our diluted EPS was primarily driven by the repurchase of shares of our common stock as earnings were relatively flat compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2010. Our comparable store sales growth was constrained by a number of external and internal factors. External factors included severe weather in certain of our geographic regions, higher gas prices and overall lower industry growth during the first quarter of 2011 over the comparable period of 2010. Internally, we believe the pace and breadth of change from the implementation of our strategic initiatives contributed to the slowdown in our momentum.
Our gross profit rate continued to improve for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 when compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2010. Our selling, general and administrative expense, or SG&A rate, increased primarily as a result of higher advertising spend and fixed cost deleverage due to our modest comparable store sales increase. Although our operating cash flow for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 was less than the comparable period of last year, we used available cash and borrowings to repurchase shares of our common stock and invest in capital improvements and initiatives to support our strategies as outlined in our previous Fiscal 2011 earnings guidance. As discussed in the Business Update below, we remain committed to investing in our two key strategies. However, we have adapted the pace of change in response to the performance in our first quarter of Fiscal 2011.
Summary of First Quarter Financial Results
A high-level summary of our financial results for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 is included below:
·
|
Total sales during the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 increased 3.7% to $1,898.1 million as compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2010, driven by the addition of 138 net new stores over the past 12 months and a 1.4% increase in comparable store sales.
|
·
|
Our operating income increased $3.8 million for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 over the comparable period of Fiscal 2010 and decreased as a percentage of total sales by 15 basis points due to the increase, or deleverage, of our SG&A rate partially offset by a higher gross profit rate.
|
·
|
Our inventory balance as of April 23, 2011 increased $372.6 million, or 21.3%, over the comparable period of last year primarily driven by our Superior Availability initiatives, new store growth, seasonal demands of our business and lower than expected sales during the first quarter.
|
·
|
We generated operating cash flow of $272.5 million in the first quarter of Fiscal 2011, a decrease of 19.4% over the comparable period in Fiscal 2010.
|
·
|
We used available cash and borrowings to repurchase 4.2 million shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase programs at a cost of $270.0 million during first quarter of Fiscal 2011.
|
Refer to the Results of Operations and Liquidity sections for further details of our income statement and cash flow results, respectively.
Business Update
In Fiscal 2011, we have increased our focus on differentiating Advance from our competition through our commitment to exceptional service which is reflected in our new customer promise – service is our best part – and the convergence of our previous four key strategies into two strategies – Service Leadership and Superior Availability. Through these two strategies, we believe we can continue to build on the initiatives discussed below and produce favorable financial results over the long-term.
Our Commercial sales, as a percentage of total sales, increased to 37% for the first quarter of 2011 as compared to 33% for the same period in Fiscal 2010. Since 2008 we have completed incremental investments in additional parts professionals, delivery trucks and drivers in approximately half of our AAP stores with Commercial programs. We have decelerated our pace of completing these investments in recent quarters as we began to increase our focus on Service Leadership and specifically in those areas we believe have a direct impact on customer satisfaction for both our Commercial and DIY customers such as labor scheduling, commercial delivery execution and more national advertising. On an ongoing basis, we closely monitor independent customer satisfaction scores for both Commercial and DIY customers as a measure of customer service and product availability. Our e-commerce operations continue to supplement our store sales growth through an increase in DIY sales from our AdvanceAutoParts.com website.
Our Commercial and DIY sales have benefited from our added parts availability and merchandising initiatives. We continue to expand our supply chain network to increase our ability to get the right product to our customers. We upgraded the inventory levels in 400 of our stores during the quarter and added over 60 stores to our HUB store network. Our HUB stores stock a wider selection and greater supply of inventory and provide same-day delivery to our other stores in their respective areas. In addition to driving sales, we believe these initiatives are responsible for the continued improvement in our gross profit rate. We continue to experience gross profit rate improvements in both parts and non-parts categories. We plan to continue increasing the amount of product we source globally, which is expected to provide us gross profit improvement and allow us to more quickly source the products our customers need.
We anticipate the pace of our growth in Commercial to continue to exceed the pace of our DIY growth. The continued growth in our Commercial sales emphasizes our focus on an integrated service model and our goal of achieving a 50/50 mix of Commercial and DIY sales.
Automotive Aftermarket Industry
The automotive aftermarket industry remains strong despite volatility in the overall economic environment. Favorable industry dynamics include:
·
|
increase in number and average age of vehicles;
|
·
|
lower new car sales vs. the 5-year average;
|
·
|
modest increase in miles driven; and
|
·
|
fragmented commercial market.
|
We anticipate miles driven will continue to increase over the long-term future based on historical trends and the increasing number of vehicles on the road. We believe that the execution of the various initiatives under our key strategies will allow us to continue to increase our share of the total automotive aftermarket with a higher growth potential driven by the more fragmented Commercial market.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on these financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements requires the application of accounting policies in addition to certain estimates and judgments by our management. Our estimates and judgments are based on currently available information, historical results and other assumptions we believe are reasonable. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. During the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011, we consistently applied the critical accounting policies discussed in our 2010 Form 10-K. For a complete discussion regarding these critical accounting policies, refer to the 2010 Form 10-K.
Components of Statement of Operations
Net Sales
Net sales consist primarily of merchandise sales from our retail store locations to both our DIY and Commercial customers and sales from our e-commerce website. Our total sales growth is comprised of both comparable store sales and new store sales. We calculate comparable store sales based on the change in store sales starting once a store has been opened for 13 complete accounting periods (approximately one year) and by including e-commerce sales. We include sales from relocated stores in comparable store sales from the original date of opening.
Cost of Sales
Our cost of sales consists of merchandise costs, net of incentives under vendor programs; inventory shrinkage, defective merchandise and warranty costs; and warehouse and distribution expenses. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales may be affected by (i) variations in our product mix, (ii) price changes in response to competitive factors and fluctuations in merchandise costs, (iii) vendor programs, (iv) inventory shrinkage, (v) defective merchandise and warranty costs and (vi) warehouse and distribution costs. We seek to minimize fluctuations in merchandise costs and instability of supply by entering into long-term purchasing agreements, without minimum purchase volume requirements, when we believe it is advantageous. Our gross profit may not be comparable to those of our competitors due to differences in industry practice regarding the classification of certain costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses consist of store payroll, store occupancy (including rent and depreciation), advertising expenses, Commercial delivery expenses, other store expenses and general and administrative expenses, including salaries and related benefits of store support center Team Members, share-based compensation expense, store support center administrative office expenses, data processing, professional expenses, self-insurance costs, closed store expense, impairment charges, if any, and other related expenses.

Sixteen Weeks Ended April 23, 2011 Compared to Sixteen Weeks Ended April 24, 2010
Net Sales
Net sales for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 were $1,898.1 million, an increase of $67.5 million, or 3.7%, as compared to net sales for the sixteen weeks ended April 24, 2010. This growth was primarily due to sales from new AAP and AI stores opened within the last four fiscal quarters and an increase in comparable store sales.
AAP produced net sales of $1,814.4 million, an increase of $48.8 million, or 2.8%, as compared to net sales for the sixteen weeks ended April 24, 2010. The AAP comparable store sales increase of 1.2% was driven by an increase in average sales per customer. AI produced net sales of $88.5 million, an increase of $19.7 million, or 28.6%, as compared to net sales for the sixteen weeks ended April 24, 2010.

Gross profit for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 was $958.2 million, or 50.5% of net sales, as compared to $910.8 million, or 49.8% of net sales, for the comparable period of last year, representing an increase of 73 basis points. This increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was driven by improved merchandising and pricing capabilities (such as custom mix and price optimization) and improved parts availability partially offset by increased supply chain costs. Favorable product costs from global sourcing also continue to drive product margin improvements in various categories. The increase in supply chain costs has resulted from distribution center inefficiencies as we approach maximum capacities from our seasonal increase in inventory, higher fuel costs and supply chain investments. We expect our gross profit rate increases to be more constrained for the remainder of fiscal 2011 as a result of higher fuel costs versus the prior year and supply chain investments together with rising commodity inflation, which cannot be fully passed through to our customers due to market pressures from overall competition and general economic conditions.
SG&A
SG&A expenses for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 were $772.2 million, or 40.7% of net sales, as compared to $728.6 million, or 39.8% of net sales, for the comparable period of last year, representing an increase of 88 basis points. This increase as a percentage of sales was primarily due to increased advertising and store payroll and fixed cost deleverage due to the modest comparable store sales increase, partially offset by lower incentive compensation.
Operating Income
Operating income for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 was $186.0 million, or 9.8% of net sales, as compared to $182.2 million, or 10.0% of net sales, for the comparable period of last year, representing a decrease of 15 basis points. This decrease was due to a higher SG&A rate partially offset by a higher gross profit rate.
AAP produced operating income of $184.3 million, or 10.2% of net sales, for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 as compared to $181.3 million, or 10.3% of net sales, for the comparable period of last year. AI generated operating income for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 of $1.6 million as compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period of last year. AI’s operating income increased during the first quarter primarily due to the leverage of SG&A as a result of its strong comparable sales results and decelerated pace of new store openings for fiscal 2011.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 was $9.7 million, or 0.5% of net sales, as compared to $6.0 million, or 0.3% of net sales, for the comparable period in Fiscal 2010. The increase in interest expense as a percentage of sales is primarily a result of the amortization of the previously recorded losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss over the remaining life of our interest rate swaps. The swaps are associated with bank debt which we repaid near the beginning of our second quarter of Fiscal 2010.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 was $66.7 million, as compared to $67.3 million for the comparable period of Fiscal 2010. Our effective income tax rate was 37.8% and 38.1% for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 and April 24, 2010, respectively.
Net Income
Net income for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 was $109.6 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, as compared to $109.4 million, or $1.19 per diluted share, for the comparable period of Fiscal 2010. As a percentage of net sales, net income for the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011 was 5.8%, as compared to 6.0% for the comparable period of Fiscal 2010. The increase in diluted EPS was primarily driven by our repurchase of 10.4 million shares of our common stock over the last four fiscal quarters.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our primary cash requirements to maintain our current operations include payroll and benefits, the purchase of inventory, contractual obligations and capital expenditures as well as the payment of quarterly cash dividends and estimated income taxes. In addition, we have used available funds to repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility and repurchase shares of our common stock under our stock repurchase program. We have funded these requirements primarily through cash generated from operations, supplemented by borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and notes offering as needed. We believe funds generated from our expected results of operations, available cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our primary obligations for the next fiscal year.
At April 23, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $53.7 million, a decrease of $5.5 million compared to January 1, 2011 (the end of Fiscal 2010). This decrease in cash primarily resulted from the use of our available cash from operations and long-term borrowings to purchase property and equipment and repurchase shares of our common stock. Additional discussion of our cash flow results, including the comparison of the activity for the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 to the first quarter of Fiscal 2010, is set forth in the Analysis of Cash Flows section.
At April 23, 2011, our outstanding indebtedness was $431.8 million, or $129.9 million higher when compared to January 1, 2011, and consisted of borrowings of $130.2 million under our revolving credit facility, $298.9 million under our senior unsecured notes, $2.4 million outstanding on an economic development note and $0.3 million outstanding under other financing arrangements. Additionally, we had $93.3 million in letters of credit outstanding, which reduced our total availability under the revolving credit facility to $526.5 million. The letters of credit serve as collateral for our self-insurance policies and routine purchases of imported merchandise.
Capital Expenditures
Our primary capital requirements have been the funding of our continued new store openings, maintenance of existing stores, the construction and upgrading of distribution centers, and the development of both proprietary and purchased information systems. Our capital expenditures were $88.9 million for the sixteen weeks ended April 23,
2011, or $28.2 million more than the sixteen weeks ended April 24, 2010. During the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011, we opened 28 AAP stores and 9 AI stores.
Our future capital requirements will depend in large part on the number of and timing for new stores we open within a given year and the investments we make in information technology and our supply chain network. We anticipate adding approximately 110 to 120 AAP and approximately 10 AI stores and closing approximately 10 stores during Fiscal 2011. We also plan to make continued investments in the maintenance of our existing stores and additional investments in our supply chain and information technology to support our key strategies.
Stock Repurchase Program
Our stock repurchase program allows us to repurchase our common stock on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time in accordance with the requirements of the SEC. During the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011, we repurchased 4.2 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $270.0 million, or an average price of $63.72 per share. Of the total shares repurchased, we repurchased 1.9 million shares at a cost of $121.6 million under our $300 million stock repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors on August 10, 2010, and 2.3 million shares at a cost of $148.4 million under our $500 million stock repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors on February 8, 2011. At April 23, 2011, we had $351.6 million remaining under the $500 million stock repurchase program. Of our shares repurchased during the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011, 138 thousand shares settled subsequent to April 23, 2011.
Additionally, we repurchased 71 thousand shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $4.4 million in connection with the net settlement of shares issued as a result of the vesting of restricted stock during the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011.
Subsequent to April 23, 2011, we repurchased 1.2 million shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $73.8 million, or an average price of $63.84 per share. As of May 27, 2011, we had $277.8 million remaining under our $500 million stock repurchase program.
Dividend
Our Board of Directors has declared quarterly dividends of $0.06 per share to stockholders of record since Fiscal 2006. Subsequent to April 23, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share to be paid on July 8, 2011 to all common stockholders of record as of June 24, 2011.

Operating Activities
For the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011, net cash provided by operating activities decreased $65.6 million to $272.5 million. This net decrease in operating cash flow was primarily due to a larger increase in inventory, net of accounts payable, and fluctuations in working capital. The increase in inventory during the first quarter of Fiscal 2011 compared to the comparable period of last year was primarily driven by our Superior Availability initiatives, new store growth, seasonal demands of our business and lower than expected sales during the first quarter.
Investing Activities
For the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011, net cash used in investing activities increased by $27.3 million to $87.9 million. The increase in cash used was primarily due to an increase in IT and supply chain investments and an increase in routine spending on our existing stores.
3BUFinancing Activities
For the sixteen weeks ended April 23, 2011, net cash used in financing activities decreased by $54.0 million to $190.1 million. Cash flows from financing activities increased as a result of:
·
|
a decrease of $55.2 million in net debt repayments; and
|
·
|
a $9.0 million decrease in the repurchase of common stock under our stock repurchase program.
|
Long-Term Debt
Senior Unsecured Notes
Our 5.75% senior unsecured notes, the Notes, were issued in April 2010 at 99.587% of the principal amount of $300 million and are due May 1, 2020. We served as the issuer of the Notes with each of our domestic subsidiaries currently serving as subsidiary guarantors. The terms of the Notes are governed by an indenture and supplemental indenture (collectively the “Indenture”) among us, the subsidiary guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.75% per year payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. We may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time or from time to time, at the redemption price described in the Indenture. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), we will be required to offer to repurchase the notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. The Notes are currently fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsubordinated and unsecured basis by each of the subsidiary guarantors. We will be permitted to release guarantees without the consent of holders of the Notes under the circumstances described in the Indenture.
Bank Debt
We have a $750.0 million unsecured five-year revolving credit facility with our wholly-owned subsidiary, Advance Stores Company, Incorporated, or Stores, serving as the borrower. The revolving credit facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a sub-limit of $300 million, and swingline loans in an amount not to exceed $50 million. We may request, subject to agreement by one or more lenders, that the total revolving commitment be increased by an amount not exceeding $250 million (up to a total commitment of $1 billion) during the term of the credit agreement. Voluntary prepayments and voluntary reductions of the revolving balance are permitted in whole or in part, at our option, in minimum principal amounts as specified in the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility matures on October 5, 2011.
As of April 23, 2011, we had $130.2 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, and had letters of credit outstanding of $93.3 million, which reduced the availability under the revolving credit facility to $526.5 million. (The letters of credit generally have a term of one year or less.) A commitment fee is charged on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility, payable in arrears. The current commitment fee rate is 0.125% per annum.
Our revolving credit facility contains covenants restricting our ability to, among other things: (1) create, incur or assume additional debt, (2) incur liens or engage in sale-leaseback transactions, (3) make loans and investments (including acquisitions), (4) guarantee obligations, (5) engage in certain mergers and liquidations, (6) change the nature of our business and the business conducted by our subsidiaries, (7) enter into certain hedging transactions, and (8) change our status as a holding company. We are also required to comply with financial covenants with respect to a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum consolidated coverage ratio. We were in compliance with these covenants at April 23, 2011 and January 1, 2011. Our revolving credit facility also provides for customary events of default, covenant defaults and cross-defaults to our other material indebtedness.
The interest rate on borrowings under the revolving credit facility is based, at our option, on an adjusted LIBOR rate, plus a margin, or an alternate base rate, plus a margin. The current margin is 0.625% and 0.0% per annum for the adjusted LIBOR and alternate base rate borrowings, respectively. Under the terms of the revolving credit facility, the interest rate and commitment fee are based on our credit rating.
As of April 23, 2011, we had a credit rating from Standard & Poor’s of BBB- and from Moody’s Investor Service of Baa3. The current outlooks by Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s are both stable. The current pricing grid used to determine our borrowing rate under our revolving credit facility is based on our credit ratings. If these credit ratings decline, our interest rate on outstanding balances may increase. Conversely, if these credit ratings improve, our interest rate may decrease. In addition, if our credit ratings decline, our access to financing may become more limited.
Subsequent Event
On May 27, 2011, we entered into a new $750 million unsecured five-year revolving credit facility with Stores serving as the borrower. This new facility replaced our previous revolving credit facility. Proceeds from the new revolving credit facility were used to repay $165.0 million of principal outstanding on our previous revolving credit facility. In conjunction with this refinancing, we incurred approximately $3.6 million of financing costs which we will amortize over the term of the new revolving credit facility.
The terms of the new revolving credit facility are generally similar to the previous facility. Certain of the significant terms that are different from the previous facility include, but are not limited to: (1) initial margin is 1.5% and 0.5% per annum for the adjusted LIBOR rate and alternate base rate borrowing, respectively, (2) a facility fee of 0.25% on the total amount of the facility, (3) a change in the calculation of the maximum leverage ratio and (4) the new revolving credit facility is guaranteed by Advance and certain domestic subsidiaries of Stores, including its Material Subsidiaries (as defined in the credit agreement).
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements
As of April 23, 2011, we had no off-balance-sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303 of the SEC regulations. We include other off-balance-sheet arrangements in our contractual obligations table including operating lease payments, interest payments on our revolving credit facility and letters of credit outstanding.
Contractual Obligations
As of April 23, 2011, there were no material changes to our outstanding contractual obligations as compared to our contractual obligations outstanding as of January 1, 2011. For information regarding our contractual obligations see “Contractual Obligations” in our 2010 Form 10-K.
Seasonality
Our business is somewhat seasonal in nature, with the highest sales usually occurring in the spring and summer months. In addition, our business can be affected by weather conditions. While unusually heavy precipitation tends to soften sales as elective maintenance is deferred during such periods, extremely hot or cold weather tends to enhance sales by causing automotive parts to fail at an accelerated rate.
New Accounting Pronouncements
For a description of recently announced accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects, if any, on our condensed consolidated financial statements, see New Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As of April 23, 2011, we have $298.9 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding with an interest rate of 5.75% due in 2020 and $130.2 million outstanding on our revolving credit facility which matures in October 2011. Subsequent to April 23, 2011 we entered into a new $750 million unsecured five-year revolving credit facility, as more fully described previously in the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. As a result of our borrowings under our revolving credit facility, we may be exposed to cash flow risk due to changes in LIBOR.
Historically we have used interest rate swaps to mitigate the impact that movements in LIBOR would have on the interest from our bank debt. As we have paid off our bank debt, these interest rate swaps now present their own exposure to movements in LIBOR. The interest rate swaps outstanding as of April 23, 2011 mature in October 2011. We did not enter into any new interest rate swaps as part of the recent refinancing of our revolver.
The table below presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates on our interest rate swaps outstanding at April 23, 2011, by expected maturity dates. The table includes the impact of the anticipated average pay and receive rates of our interest rate swaps through their maturity dates. Expected maturity dates approximate contract terms. Weighted average variable rates are based on implied forward rates in the yield curve at April 23, 2011. Implied forward rates should not be considered a predictor of actual future interest rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
