Second Quarter 2025 Results ^(1,2)

Second quarter 2025 net sales totaled $2.0 billion, compared with $2.2 billion in the second quarter of the prior year. Comparable store sales for the second quarter 2025 increased 0.1%.

The Company's second quarter 2025 gross profit was $0.9 billion, or 43.5% of net sales compared with $1.0 billion, or 43.6% in the second quarter of the prior year. Adjusted gross profit was $0.9 billion, or 43.8% of net sales compared with $1.0 billion, or 43.6% in the second quarter of the prior year. The margin expansion was driven by savings associated with the footprint optimization activity completed in March. These savings were partially offset by the reversal of previously capitalized inventory costs.

The Company's second quarter 2025 selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $0.9 billion, or 42.4% of net sales compared with $0.9 billion, or 41.1% in the second quarter of the prior year. Adjusted SG&A expenses were $0.8 billion, or 40.7% of net sales in the second quarter of 2025 compared with $0.9 billion, or 40.8% in the second quarter of 2024. The reduction in SG&A expenses was primarily related to operation of fewer stores compared to last year.

The Company's second quarter 2025 operating income was $22 million, or 1.1% of net sales, compared with operating income of $54 million, or 2.5% in the second quarter of the prior year.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures described below to supplement the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP and to understand and evaluate the Company's core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented as the Company believes that such non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by management for financial and operational decision-making. The Company is presenting these non-GAAP metrics to provide investors insight to the information used by our management to evaluate our business and financial performance. The Company believes that these measures provide investors increased comparability of our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. The Company's Non-GAAP financial measures reflect results from continuing operations, including Adjusted Net (loss) Income, Adjusted Diluted (loss) Earnings Per Share (鈥淎djusted Diluted EPS鈥�), Adjusted Gross Profit, Adjusted Gross Profit Margin, Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative expense (鈥淎djusted SG&A鈥�), Adjusted SG&A Margin, Adjusted Operating (loss) Income, Adjusted Operating (loss) Income Margin, Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAR and should not be used as a substitute for GAAP financial measures, or considered in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing operating performance, financial position or cash flows.

The Company has presented these non-GAAP financial measures as the Company believes that the presentation of the financial results that exclude (1) transformation expenses under the Company鈥檚 turnaround plan, inclusive of the Worldpac divestiture and (2) other significant expenses, are useful and indicative of the Company's base operations because the expenses vary from period to period in terms of size, nature and significance. The income tax impact of these non-GAAP adjustments is also adjusted for using the estimated tax rate in effect for the respective non-GAAP adjustments. These measures assist in comparing the Company鈥檚 current operating results with past periods and with the operational performance of other companies in the industry. The disclosure of these measures allows investors to evaluate the Company鈥檚 performance using the same measures management uses in developing internal budgets and forecasts and in evaluating management鈥檚 compensation. Included below is a description of the expenses the Company has determined are not normal, recurring cash operating expenses necessary to operate the Company鈥檚 business and the rationale for why providing these measures is useful to investors as a supplement to the GAAP measures.

Transformation Expenses

Expenses incurred in connection with the Company's turnaround plan and specific transformative activities related to asset optimization that the Company does not view to be normal cash operating expenses. These expenses primarily include:

• Restructuring and other related expenses: Expenses relating to strategic initiatives, including severance expense, retention bonuses offered to store-level employees to help facilitate the closing of stores, incremental reserves related to the collectibility of receivables resulting from contract terminations with certain independents associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan and third-party professionals assisting in the development and execution of the strategic initiatives.
• Impairment and write-down of long-lived assets: Expenses relating to the impairment of operating lease ROU assets and property and equipment, incremental depreciation as a result of accelerating long-lived assets over a shorter useful life, depreciation of long-lived assets and ROU asset amortization after store closure, and incremental lease abandonment expenses as a result of accelerating ROU asset amortization for leases the Company expects to exit before the end of the contractual term, net of gains on lease terminations, in connection with the 2024 Restructuring Plan and Other Restructuring Plan.
• Distribution network optimization: Expenses primarily relating to the conversion of the stores and distribution centers to market hubs, including, realized losses on liquidated inventory, temporary labor, nonrecurring professional service fees and team member severance.

Other Expenses

Expenses incurred by the Company that are not viewed as normal cash operating expenses and vary from period to period in terms of size, nature, and significance. These expenses primarily include:

• Other professional service fees: Expenses relating to nonrecurring services rendered by third-party vendors engaged to perform a strategic business review, including the Company鈥檚 transformation initiatives.
• Worldpac post transaction-related expenses: Expenses primarily relating to non-recurring separation activities provided by third-party professionals subsequent to the sale of Worldpac.
• Executive turnover: Expenses associated with executive level reorganization, including expenses for executive severance, the hiring search for leadership positions and certain compensation benefits.
• Material weakness remediation: Incremental expenses associated with the remediation of the Company鈥檚 previously disclosed material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting.
• Cybersecurity incident: Expenses related to the response and remediation of a cybersecurity incident.
• Other tax adjustments: Certain tax items that are unrelated to the fiscal year in which they are recorded are excluded in order to provide a clearer understanding of the Company's ongoing Non-GAAP tax rate and after-tax earnings.
