INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On February 12, 2015, Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release setting forth its financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 3, 2015. This release includes forward looking statements including, but are not limited to, statements related to the Company's 2015 fiscal year.
The Company's financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2014 financial results include integration costs associated with the Company's integration of General Parts International, Inc. ("GPI") and B.W.P. Distributors, Inc. ("BWP") and amortization of intangible assets acquired from GPI. In addition, the fourth quarter and fiscal 2014 included an additional week of operations (53rd week). The Company's financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 include transaction expenses related to the Company's acquisition of GPI on January 2, 2014 and integration costs associated with the Company's integration of BWP. As a result of these expenses and the additional week, the Company’s financial results for these periods are not comparable with prior periods. Thus, the Company’s financial results have been presented in this press release on both a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis and on a comparable basis to exclude the impact of the 53rd week and the integration costs, amortization and transaction expenses recognized in the respective periods. The Company has provided the required reconciliation of the financial results reported on a comparable basis to the most directly comparable GAAP basis and has provided an explanation as to why the financial results presented on a non-GAAP are useful to investors.
The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
