The Company’s stores operate primarily under the trade names “Advance Auto Parts” and “Carquest”.

The Company has one reportable segment. As of December 28, 2024, the Company had two operating segments, which were aggregated as a single reportable segment; however, following the stabilization of the Company’s new organizational structure in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, due to significant restructuring activities, the Company now operates under the single operating segment of “Advance Auto Parts/Carquest”. See Note 11. Segment Reporting and Note 3. Restructuring, of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein for additional information on the Company’s segments and restructuring activities.

~~3. Restructuring~~Inventories, net

~~2024~~The ~~Restructuring~~Company ~~Plan~~used the last in, first out (“LIFO”) method of accounting for approximately 92% of inventories as of April 25, 2026 and January 3, 2026, respectively. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is performed at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory levels and carrying costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on the Company’s estimates of expected inventory levels and costs at the end of the year. The Company’s LIFO credit reserve balance was $121 million and $104 million as of April 25, 2026 and January 3, 2026, respectively, to state inventories at LIFO. Increases to the Company’s LIFO credit reserve balance are recorded as a non-cash charge to cost of sales and decreases are recorded as a non-cash benefit to cost of sales.

OnThe ~~November~~non-cash ~~13,~~expense ~~2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring and asset optimization plan~~ (~~“2024 Restructuring Plan”~~benefit) ~~designed~~recorded to ~~improve~~cost ~~the~~of ~~Company’s~~sales ~~profitability~~related ~~and~~to ~~growth potential and streamline its operations. This plan contemplated~~ the ~~closure~~change ofin ~~approximately 500 stores, approximately 200 independent locations and four distribution centers by mid-2025, as well as headcount reductions. The Company completed~~ the ~~closure~~LIFO ofcredit ~~all~~reserve offor ~~these locations during~~ the ~~first~~periods ~~quarter~~presented ofwas ~~2025.~~as follows:

Expenses associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan included: 1) noncash asset impairment and accelerated amortization and depreciation of operating lease Right-of-Use (“ROU”) assets and property and equipment, 2) personnel expenses related to severance and transition expenses, which were offered to certain employees who would provide services through key dates to ensure completion of closure activities and 3) other location closure-related activity, including nonrecurring services rendered by third-party vendors assisting with the turnaround initiatives and other related expenses, including incremental revisions to receivable collectability due to termination of contracts with independents associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan.

~~Other~~Purchasing ~~Restructuring~~and ~~Initiatives~~warehousing costs included in inventories as of April 25, 2026 and January 3, 2026 were $447 million and $426 million, respectively.

~~In November 2023~~Receivables, the Company announced a strategic and operational plan with anticipated savings of $150 million of which $50 million would be reinvested into frontline team members. In addition to a reduction in workforce, this plan streamlines the Company’s supply chain by configuring a multi-echelon supply chain by leveraging current assets and operating fewer, more productive distribution centers that focus on replenishment and move more parts closer to the customer. In achieving this plan, the Company is in process of converting certain distribution centers and stores into market hubs. In addition to providing replenishment to near-by stores, market hubs support retail operations. In addition to the distribution network optimization costs, other restructuring expenses included certain other items as further detailed in the table below. net

The Company has recorded all restructuring and related expenses as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, with the exception of inventory related expenses that are recorded as a component of cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

4. Inventories, net

The Company used the last in, first out (“LIFO”) method of accounting for approximately 92% of inventories as of October 4, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method is performed at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory levels and carrying costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on the Company’s estimates of expected inventory levels and costs at the end of the year. The Company’s LIFO debit/(credit) reserve balance was $(48) million and $(11) million as of October 4, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively, to state inventories at LIFO. Increases to the Company’s LIFO credit reserve balance are recorded as a noncash charge to cost of sales and decreases are recorded as a non-cash benefit to cost of sales.

	Twelve Weeks Ended				Forty Weeks Ended
	October 4, 2025		October 5, 2024		October 4, 2025		October 5, 2024
LIFO credit reserve (benefit) expense	$	33	$	(35)	$	37	$	(69)

The effect of LIFO liquidations for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2025 was a decrease to cost of sales of $4 million and an increase to net earnings of $3 million, or ($0.05) per diluted share. There was no impact from LIFO liquidations for the twelve weeks ended ended October 4, 2025 and for the twelve and forty weeks ended October 5, 2024.

Purchasing and warehousing costs included in inventories as of October 4, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were $400 million and $368 million, respectively.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, one of the Company’s vendors, a leading auto parts supplier for the automotive aftermarket industry, filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The vendor has secured short-term financing through a debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) loan, however, Chapter 11 proceedings carry inherent risks with respect to a company’s ability to continue operations and maintain adequate liquidity to satisfy current and future obligations. As a result of these events, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $28 million to cost of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, within the condensed consolidated statement of operations, reflecting estimated future credit losses on certain vendor receivables due from the vendor. The estimate was developed utilizing a probability weighted cash-flow model adjusted for risks associated with credit risk deterioration for companies that enter Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

Long-term Debt and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

As of ~~October 4~~April 25, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~December 28~~ January 3, ~~2024~~2026, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, which includes the current portion of long-term debt, was approximately $3.4 billion ~~and $1~~.6 ~~billion, respectively.~~ The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was determined using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, receivables, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Long-term debt

On August 4, 2025, the Company issued (i) $975 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.000% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “2030 Notes”) and (ii) $975 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.375% Senior Notes due 2033 (collectively, the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) in a private transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Interest on the Senior Unsecured Notes is payable in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2026. The 2030 Notes will mature on August 1, 2030, and the 2033 Notes will mature on August 1, 2033. Net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Noted were $1.9 billion, net of direct transaction and closing costs. The Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that also guarantee the Company’s new asset-based loan revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) as further discussed below.

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 Senior Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. The Indenture also contains customary provisions for events of default and certain covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt secured by liens and to enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions.

Following the closing of the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company utilized a portion of the net proceeds to redeem in full its outstanding $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.90% senior unsecured notes due 2026 and the Company recorded a loss of $3 million on redemption in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 associated with this extinguishment. The remaining proceeds from the issuance are available for general corporate purposes, and, as further discussed under “Credit Facilities” below, certain of our cash and cash equivalents, are designated as qualified cash and are subject to customary “springing” control agreements, as defined in the ABL Facility Agreement.

In accordance with the ABL Facility, the Company is required to hold cash and cash equivalents in designated accounts with lenders, referred to as Qualified Cash Accounts as defined in the ABL Facility. As of October 4, 2025, $2.3 billion was designated as Qualified Cash. These amounts are unrestricted and the Company is able to direct, and have sole control over, the manner of disposition of funds in such accounts, subject to: 1) maintaining a minimum availability under the ABL facility of at least the greater of (i) 12.5% of the Line Cap and (ii) $125 million; and 2) maintaining excess availability under the ABL Facility of at least $400 million.

As of October 4, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the Company had $89 million and $91 million, respectively, of bilateral letters of credit issued separately from the ABL Facility and 2021 Credit Agreement, respectively, none of which were drawn upon. These bilateral letters of credit generally have a term of one year or less and primarily serve as collateral for the Company’s self-insurance policies.

Debt Guarantees

The Company is a guarantor of loans made by banks to various independently-owned Carquest-branded stores that are or, prior to the Company’s restructuring and asset optimization plan approved in November 2024 ("2024 Restructuring Plan"), were customers of the Company, totaling $7666 million and $9869 million as of ~~October 4~~April 25, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~December 28~~January 3, ~~2024~~2026, respectively. This obligation represents a financial guarantee with two aspects: a contingent liability accounted for under ASC 326 related to our contingent obligation to purchase loans, and a non-contingent liability accounted for under ASC 460, Guarantees, related to our obligation to stand-ready to perform under the obligation. The Company continuously assesses the likelihood of performance under these guarantees and records liabilities established related to these financial guarantees within other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. These loans are collateralized by security agreements on merchandise inventory and other assets of the borrowers. The approximate value of the inventory collateralized by these agreements was $~~157~~120 million and $~~181~~152 million as of ~~October 4~~April 25, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~December 28~~January 3, ~~2024~~2026, respectively. ~~The Company continuously assesses the likelihood of performance under these guarantees and believes that performance is remote as of October 4, 2025.~~

The initial term for facilities is typically five to ten years, with renewal options typically at five-year intervals, with the exercise of lease renewal options at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company’s vehicle and equipment lease terms are typically three to six years. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

18The Company conducts its operations principally in the geographical areas of the U.S. and Canada through its Advance Auto Parts and Carquest trade brands. The products sold by the Company, across all geographic areas, have similar economic characteristics, are sourced from the Company’s suppliers in a similar manner, and are available for sale to all of the Company’s customers through the Company’s stores and self-service e-commerce sites. All of the Company’s stores have similar characteristics, including the nature of the products and services, the type and class of customers, and the methods used to distribute products and provide service to its customers. Due to these reasons, the Company has one operating segment, referred to as Advance Auto Parts/Carquest and one reportable segment. As geographic information is not a key component of how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) reviews performance and allocates resources, such entity-wide information is not disclosed on a quarterly basis.

The CODM primarily focuses on net income to evaluate its reportable segment. The CODM also uses net income for evaluating pricing strategy and to assess the performance for determining the compensation of certain employees. Significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM, which represent the difference between segment revenue and segment net income, consisted of the following:

Certain of the Company’s suppliers enter into agreements with third-party financial institutions to obtain enhanced receivables options. These arrangements are commonly referred to and known in the industry as supply chain financing programs. Through these agreements, the Company’s suppliers, at their sole discretion, may elect to sell their receivables due from the Company to the third-party financial institution at terms negotiated between the supplier and the third-party financial institution. The Company does not provide any guarantees to any third-party in connection with these financing arrangements. The Company’s obligations to suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment terms, are not impacted, and no assets are pledged under the agreements. All outstanding amounts due to third-party financial institutions related to suppliers participating in such financing arrangements are recorded within accounts payable and represent obligations outstanding under these supplier finance programs for invoices that were confirmed as valid and owed to the third-party financial institutions in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of October 4, 2025, and December 28, 2024, the confirmed obligations outstanding under these supplier finance programs to third-party financial institutions were $2.7 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively. As of October 4, 2025, and December 28, 2024, $16 million and $0.4 billion, respectively, is excluded from the Company’s accounts payable balance on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets, as such amounts represent liabilities of Worldpac transferred with the sale of the business in fiscal 2024. Under the provisions of the sale, the Company will provide certain letters of credit to the buyer to support supply chain financing for the buyer. See Note 12.

19Restructuring

2024 Restructuring Plan

On November 13, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2024 Restructuring Plan, a restructuring and asset optimization plan designed to improve the Company’s profitability and growth potential and streamline its operations. This plan contemplated the closure of approximately 500 stores, approximately 200 independent locations and four distribution centers by mid-2025, as well as headcount reductions. The Company completed the closure of all of these locations during the first quarter of 2025.

Expenses associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan included: (1) inventory write down of inventory to net realizable value due to liquidation sales as a result of store closures and streamlining assortment associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan, (2) non-cash asset impairment and accelerated amortization and depreciation of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and property and equipment, (3) personnel expenses related to severance and transition expenses, which were offered to certain employees who would provide services through key dates to ensure completion of closure activities and (4) other location closure-related activity, including nonrecurring services rendered by third-party vendors assisting with the turnaround initiatives and other related expenses, including incremental revisions to receivable collectability due to termination of contracts with independents associated with the 2024 Restructuring Plan.

Other Restructuring Initiatives

In November 2023, the Company announced a strategic and operational plan with anticipated savings of $150 million of which $50 million would be reinvested into frontline team members. In addition to a reduction in workforce, this plan streamlines the Company’s supply chain by configuring a multi-echelon supply chain by leveraging current assets and operating fewer, more productive distribution centers that focus on replenishment and move more parts closer to the customer. In achieving this plan, the Company is in

In addition to the distribution network optimization costs, other restructuring expenses include certain other items as further detailed in the table below.

13. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate benefit for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2025 was higher than the estimated annual effective tax rate benefit, primarily due to a net discrete tax benefit of $126 million realized in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 related to certain tax benefits associated with capital loss deductions.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA makes key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act permanent, including 100% bonus depreciation and the business interest expense limitation, among others. The Company has determined the OBBBA has an immaterial impact to the Company’s provision for income taxes and deferred tax balances. ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted, which occurred during the Company’s second quarter of fiscal 2025. Therefore, the Company has reflected the effect of the OBBBA within the provision for income taxes for the twelve and forty weeks ended October 4, 2025 and deferred tax balances as of October 4, 2025.

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 the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended ~~December 28~~January 3, ~~2024~~2026 (filed with the SEC on February 26 13, ~~2025~~2026) which the Company refers to as the “~~2024~~2025 Form 10-K”), and the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that appear elsewhere in this report. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year.

Business and Risks Update

The Company continues to make progress on the various elements of its business plan, which is focused on improving the customer experience, margin expansion, and driving consistent execution for both professional and DIY customers. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company completed all store location closures under the 2024 Restructuring Plan designed to improve the Company’s profitability and growth potential, and streamline its operations. For further information related to restructuring and related activities, see Note 3. Restructuring of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.

During fiscal 2025, new global trade tariffs were announced on imports to the U.S., including additional tariffs on various countries from which the Company directly or indirectly imports and/or sources merchandise, including Canada, China and Mexico, among others. Since the initial announcement in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, various modifications and delays to the U.S. tariffs have been announced and further changes are expected to be made in the future, which may include additional sector-based tariffs or other measures. In response to the tariffs, certain of our suppliers have increased prices. However, the impact of such increases to-date has not been material to the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The ultimate impact of tariffs on the Company’s business remains uncertain. See Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report.

Industry Update

Operating within the automotive aftermarket industry, the Company is influenced by a number of general macroeconomic factors, many of which are similar to those affecting the overall retail industry. In addition to the “Business and Risk Update” section ~~included within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, these factors include, but are not limited to:~~

Stores

The key factors used in selecting sites and market locations in which the Company operates include population, demographics, traffic count, vehicle profile, number and strength of competitors’ stores and the cost of real estate. During the ~~forty~~sixteen weeks ended ~~October 4~~April 25, ~~2025~~2026, 26four stores were opened and ~~517~~one ~~were~~store was closed, resulting in a total of 4,~~297~~308 stores as of the end of the ~~third~~first fiscal quarter compared with a total of 4,~~788~~305 stores as of ~~December 28,~~January ~~2024. The significant reduction in stores during fiscal 2025 relates to actions taken under the Company’s restructuring and related activities. See Note~~ 3~~. Restructuring~~, ~~of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1~~2026.

The Company calculates comparable store sales based on the change in store or branch sales starting once a location has been open for approximately one year and by including e-commerce sales and excluding sales fulfilled by distribution centers to independently owned Carquest locations. The Company includes sales from relocated stores in comparable store sales from the original date of opening. Comparable store sales is intended only as supplemental information and is not a substitute for Net sales presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Interest Expense

For the ~~twelve~~sixteen weeks ~~and the forty weeks~~ ended ~~October 4~~April 25, ~~2025~~2026, interest expense increased as compared to the same periods in fiscal ~~2024~~2025, due to an increase in the principal amount of interest bearing long-term debt infrom the ~~third~~debt ~~quarter~~issuance ofcompleted ~~fiscal~~in ~~2025.

The Company’s provision for income taxes for the twelve weeks ended October 5, 2024 was an expense of $8 million, largely attributable to a $10 million tax expense related to a book to tax difference in the stock basis of Worldpac Canada as a result of the sale of Worldpac. The Company’s provision for income taxes for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2025, was a benefit of $150 million compared with an expense of $34 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in tax expense for the forty weeks ended October 4, 2025 was a result of a net discrete tax benefit in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 of $126 million related to certain tax benefits associated with capital loss deductions and lower income before taxes.

On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The Company has determined the OBBBA has an immaterial impact to the Company’s provision for income taxes and deferred tax balances.

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 the Company’s financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by the Company’s management for financial and operational decision-making. The Company is presenting these non-GAAP metrics to provide investors insight to the information used by the Company’s management to evaluate its business and financial performance. The Company believes that these measures provide investors increased comparability of the Company’s core financial performance over multiple periods and with other companies in the same industry. The Company may make reference to certain financial measures not derived in accordance with GAAP within Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under athe ~~revolving~~ABL ~~credit~~ facility. The Company’s primary cash requirements necessary to maintain the Company’s current operations include payroll and benefits, inventory purchases, contractual obligations, capital expenditures, payment of income taxes, funding of initiatives and other operational priorities, such as restructuring and asset optimization plans. In addition, cash is required to pay the Company’s ~~dividend~~dividends and to pay interest and principle on the Company’s long-term debt when due. The following ~~tables~~table ~~present~~presents selected financial information related to the Company’s liquidity (in millions):

In addition to cash and cash equivalents presented above, as of October 4, 2025, the Company also maintained access to $741 million in undrawn capacity through the Company’s $1.0 billion asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”). As of October 4, 2025 approximately $2.3 billion was designated as Qualified Cash as defined in the ABL Facility.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents and sources of liquidity will satisfy its working and other capital requirements for at least the next 12 months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

Restructuring Activities

On November 13, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2024 Restructuring Plan, which was designed to improve the Company’s profitability and growth potential and streamline its operations. In fiscal 2023, the Company also announced a strategic and operational plan to streamline the Company’s supply chain by configuring a multi-echelon supply chain by leveraging current asset and operating fewer, more productive distribution centers that focus on replenishment and move more parts closer to the customer. The Company estimates that it will incur additional expenses of approximately $20 million to $30 million through the remainder of fiscal 2025, of which approximately $10 million to $20 million is expected to be cash expenses, primarily composed of lease terminations and other exit expenses and professional services, by the end of fiscal year 2025 with certain expenses, primarily related to closed store and distribution center leases, expected to continue into fiscal year 2026. For further information, see Note 3. Restructuring, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1.

Long-Term Debt

As of ~~October 4~~April 25, ~~2025~~2026 and ~~December 28~~January 3, ~~2024~~2026, the Company had outstanding principal of long-term debt totaling $3.45 billion ~~and $1~~.8 ~~billion, respectively.~~

The 2030 Notes will mature on August 1, 2030, and the 2033 Notes will mature on August 1, 2033. Net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Noted were approximately $1.9 billion, net of direct transaction and closing costs. The Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries that also guarantee the ABL Facility.

In accordance with the terms of the Indenture governing the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company may, at its option and on any one or more occasions, redeem some or all of the Senior Unsecured Notes at the redemption prices 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 Senior Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. The Indenture also contains customary provisions for events of default and certain covenants limiting the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur debt secured by liens and to enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions.

Following the closing of the issuance of the Senior Unsecured Notes, the Company utilized a portion of the net proceeds to redeem in full its outstanding $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.90% Senior Notes due 2026 and recorded a loss of $3 million on redemption in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 associated with this extinguishment. The remaining proceeds from the issuance are available for general corporate purposes, and, as of October 4, 2025, approximately $2.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents, was designated as qualified cash and are subject to customary “springing” control agreements, as described in the ABL Facility Agreement.

Credit Facilities

~~On August 12, 2025, the Company’s $1 billion revolving credit facility (the “2021 Credit Agreement”) was terminated and replaced by the ABL Facility.~~ The ~~Company recorded a $6 million loss on extinguishment of the 2021 Credit Agreement during the third quarter of fiscal 2025. The~~ ABL Facility provides for a five-year senior secured first lien asset-based revolving credit facility of up to $1 billion with an uncommitted accordion feature that provides for additional credit extensions up to $500 million. Our ability to draw upon the ABL Facility is subject to the available borrowing base. Outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility will accrue interest at a floating rate, which, at the Company’s election, can be either (i) SOFR plus an applicable margin or (ii) an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable rate varies based on Average Historical Excess Availability (as defined in the ABL Facility Agreement) from (i) with respect to base rate loans, 0.25% to 0.75% and (b) with respect to SOFR loans, 1.25% to 1.75% and resets quarterly on a prospective basis and is, in part, derived based-upon the utilization of the facility. Interest is payable on a quarterly basis. Unused commitments under the ABL Facility will accrue an unused commitment fee of either 0.30% or 0.25% per annum, depending on average utilization.

32In accordance with the ABL Facility, the Company is required to hold cash and cash equivalents in designated accounts with lenders, referred to as Qualified Cash Accounts as defined in ABL Facility. As of April 25, 2026 and January 3, 2026, approximately $2.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents was designated as qualified cash and are subject to customary “springing” control agreements, as described in the ABL Facility Agreement.

~~Table~~As of ~~Contents~~April 25, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings, $896 million borrowing availability, and $104 million letters of credit outstanding under the ABL Facility.

The ABL Facility contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and financial, affirmative and negative covenants for facilities of this type, including but not limited to a springing financial covenant relating to a fixed charge coverage ratio, defined in the ABL Facility as the ratio of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA minus Consolidated Capital Expenditures minus Taxes to Fixed Charges, each as defined in the ABL Facility, on a four quarter trailing basis, which requires a minimum 1:1 coverage ratio to be maintained, and restrictions on certain indebtedness, liens, investments and acquisitions, asset dispositions, restricted payments, prepayment of certain indebtedness and transactions with affiliates, subject to various thresholds and capsAgreement.

InFor ~~accordance~~further ~~with the ABL Facility~~details, ~~the~~see ~~Company~~Note ~~is required to hold cash and cash equivalents in designated accounts with lenders, referred to as Qualified Cash Accounts as defined in ABL Facility~~5. ~~These~~Long-term ~~amounts~~Debt ~~are unrestricted~~ and ~~the~~Fair ~~Company~~Value ~~is able to direct, and have sole control over, the manner~~ of ~~disposition~~Financial ofInstruments ~~funds in such accounts, subject to: 1) maintaining a minimum availability under the ABL facility~~ of ~~at least~~ the ~~greater~~Notes ~~of (i) 12.5% of the Line Cap and (ii) $125 million; and 2) maintaining excess availability under the ABL Facility of at least $400 million.

Interest rates on all of the Company’s long-term debt, inclusive of the August 2025 Senior Unsecured Notes, are fixed and not subject to interest rate risk. The Company’s new ABL Facility may be exposed to interest rate risk as interest on borrowings under the ABL Facility accrue interest based on either (i) SOFR plus an applicable margin or (ii) an alternative base rate plus an applicable margin, however, as of October 4, 2025, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its ABL Facility. The Company also generates interest income on cash and cash equivalents. These interest rates as subject to changes in market conditions and interest rate risk. There was a material increase in the Company’s cash and cash equivalents during the third quarter of 2025, due to the net proceeds received from the issuance the new Senior Unsecured Notes and redemption of the previously outstanding 5.90% Senior Notes due 2026.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are management’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by management in the Company’s reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and the override of controls. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only “reasonable assurance” with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness may vary over time.

Management evaluated, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~October 4~~April 25, ~~2025~~2026. Based on this evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the ~~third~~first quarter ended ~~October 4~~April 25, ~~2025~~2026, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Our significant level of indebtedness or a deterioration in the global credit markets could limit the cash flow available for operations and could adversely affect our ability to service our debt or obtain additional financing.

We have a significant amount of indebtedness. Our significant level of indebtedness could restrict our operations and make it more difficult for us to satisfy our debt obligations. For example, our level of indebtedness could, among other things:

•affect our liquidity by limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital;

•limit our ability to obtain financing for capital expenditures and acquisitions or make any available financing more costly;

•require us to dedicate all or a substantial portion of our cash flow to service our debt, which would reduce funds available for other business purposes, such as capital expenditures, dividends or acquisitions, or to invest in our turnaround;

•limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in the markets in which we compete;

•place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors who may have less indebtedness;

•render us more vulnerable to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

•make it more difficult for us to satisfy our financial obligations; and

•limit our ability to refinance our debt on terms as favorable as our existing debt or at all.

Furthermore, despite our current indebtedness levels, we may still incur significant additional indebtedness, which would increase the risks associated with our leverage. Although the indentures governing our indebtedness contain certain financial and other restrictive covenants, certain of such agreements restrict but do not completely prohibit us from incurring substantial additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness, in the future. If new debt or other liabilities are added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify. Any failure to comply with the restrictive covenants in our debt instruments could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debt, including the outstanding notes, and have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations.

Finally, conditions and events in the global credit markets could have a material adverse effect on our access to short- and long-term borrowings to finance our operations and the terms and cost of that debt. It is possible that one or more of the banks that provide us with financing may fail to honor the terms of our agreements or be financially unable to provide the unused credit as a result of significant deterioration in such bank’s financial condition. Any inability to obtain sufficient financing at cost-effective rates could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
