Advance Auto Parts Reports First Quarter 2023 Results


Recommended Posts

Q1 Net Sales Increased 1.3% to $3.4 Billion; Comparable Store Sales Decreased 0.4%

Operating Income of $90.0 Million; Operating Income Margin of 2.6%

RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (NYSE: AAP), a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America, that serves both professional installer and do-it-yourself customers, announced its financial results for the first quarter ended April 22, 2023.

Tom Greco, president and chief executive officer, said, “I want to thank our Advance team members and independent partners for their continued hard work and focus on serving our customers. While we anticipated the first quarter would be challenging, our results were below our expectations. Net sales grew 1.3% in the quarter. Our operating margin rate of 2.6% in the quarter was well below expectations due to higher than planned investments to narrow competitive price gaps in the professional sales channel as well as unfavorable product mix.”

Mr. Greco continued, “We remain focused on improving inventory availability while sustaining competitive price targets to improve topline sales. We expect the competitive dynamics we faced in the first quarter to continue, resulting in a shortfall to our 2023 expectations. We have reduced our full-year guidance and our board of directors made the difficult decision to reduce our quarterly dividend. In addition, in connection with my pending retirement, our board’s independent chair, Gene Lee, has assumed an expanded role as interim executive chair. Gene will be providing additional operational oversight and support to our management team to enable a seamless CEO transition. He has helped me immensely during my time as CEO and I look forward to working with him to improve the trajectory of our business in the months ahead.”

First Quarter 2023 Results ( 1)

First quarter of 2023 Net sales totaled $3.4 billion, a 1.3% increase compared with the first quarter of the prior year, primarily driven by new store openings. This was partially offset by a decline of comparable store sales of 0.4%.

Gross profit decreased 2.4% to $1.5 billion. Gross profit margin of 43.0% of Net sales decreased 162 basis points compared with the first quarter of the prior year. This was primarily driven by inflationary product costs that were not fully covered by pricing actions. In addition, unfavorable product mix and supply chain headwinds also contributed to gross margin deleverage in the quarter.

SG&A expenses were $1.4 billion, which was 40.4% of Net sales compared with 38.6% in the first quarter of 2022. This was primarily driven by inflation in labor and benefit-related expenses as well as costs associated with new store openings. This was partially offset by a decrease in startup costs related to the company's California expansion.

The company's Operating income was $90.0 million or 2.6% of Net sales, compared with 6.0% in the first quarter of 2022.

The company's effective tax rate was 28.4%, compared with 23.7% in the first quarter of 2022. The higher effective income tax rate reflects the impact associated with share based compensation. The company's Diluted EPS was $0.72, compared with $2.26 in the first quarter of 2022.

Net cash used in operating activities was $378.9 million through the first quarter of 2023 versus $54.9 million used in operating activities in the same period of the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by lower Net income and an increase in cash used in working capital, primarily in accounts payable. Free cash flow through the first quarter of 2023 was an outflow of $468.9 million compared with an outflow of $169.8 million in the same period of the prior year.

_______________________
(1) All comparisons are based on the same time period in the prior year. Comparable store sales include locations open for 13 complete accounting periods and excludes sales to independently owned Carquest locations.

Capital Allocation

On May 30, 2023, the company declared a cash dividend of $0.25 per share to be paid on July 28, 2023 to all common stockholders of record as of July 14, 2023.

Full Year 2023 Guidance

Jeff Shepherd, executive vice president and chief financial officer, commented, “Given the shortfall experienced this quarter, along with our revised outlook for the balance of the year, we are reducing our full-year 2023 guidance. In addition, our board of directors made the decision to reduce our quarterly cash dividend to provide enhanced financial flexibility. We are committed to improving our operational performance and driving increased profitability."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

The company's financial results include certain financial measures not derived in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Management uses Free cash flow as a measure of its liquidity and believes it is a useful indicator to investors or potential investors of the company's ability to implement growth strategies and service 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 the company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Beginning in first quarter 2023, the company no longer excludes transformation-related activities in non-GAAP measures. Prior period has been recast to conform to current year presentation.

NOTE: Management believes its Adjusted Debt to EBITDAR ratio (“leverage ratio”) is a key financial metric for debt securities, as reviewed by rating agencies, and believes its debt levels are best analyzed using this measure. The company’s goal is to maintain an investment grade rating. The company's credit rating directly impacts the interest rates on borrowings under its existing credit facility and could impact the company's ability to obtain additional funding. If the company was unable to maintain its investment grade rating this could negatively impact future performance and limit growth opportunities. Similar measures are utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants and ratios contained in the company's financing arrangements. 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 adjusts the calculation to remove rent expense and to add back the company’s existing operating lease liabilities related to their right-of-use assets to provide a more meaningful comparison with the company’s peers and to account for differences in debt structures and leasing arrangements. 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.
