Return to Profitability

In Q2 2025, Advance Auto Parts Inc returned to profitability with an operating income of $22 million, a significant turnaround from the $54 million in operating income reported in the same quarter last year. This achievement reflects the company's effective strategic initiatives aimed at long-term shareholder value.

Net Sales and Comparable Store Sales

The company's net sales for the second quarter of 2025 reached $2.0 billion, a decrease from $2.2 billion in Q2 2024. However, comparable store sales saw a slight increase of 0.1%, driven by growth in the Pro business segment and early signs of stabilization in the DIY sector.

Gross Profit and Margins

Advance Auto Parts Inc reported a gross profit of $0.9 billion, maintaining a margin of 43.5% of net sales. Adjusted gross profit slightly increased to 43.8%, benefiting from footprint optimization activities completed in March, though partially offset by the reversal of previously capitalized inventory costs.

Capital Allocation and Financial Position

The company successfully completed a $1.95 billion offering of senior notes and established a new $1.0 billion asset-backed revolving credit facility to replace its prior facility. Additionally, Advance declared a regular cash dividend of $0.25 per share, scheduled for October 24, 2025, reflecting confidence in its financial stability.
