Advance Auto Parts, Inc. reports 2025 results that reflect a major portfolio and store footprint overhaul along with ongoing operational challenges. Net sales from continuing operations were $8.6 billion, down 5.4% as widespread store closures under its 2024 restructuring more than offset a modest 0.8% rise in comparable store sales.
Profitability improved on paper: gross margin from continuing operations reached 43.4% of net sales, up 592 basis points, largely because 2024 was weighed down by inventory-related charges tied to the restructuring. Operating loss from continuing operations narrowed to $43 million, a 734-basis-point improvement as a percentage of sales.
The company completed the sale of its Worldpac business in November 2024 for approximately $1.44 billion in net proceeds and executed a footprint optimization that closed roughly 500 company stores and 200 independent locations, ending 2025 with 4,305 stores and 809 independently owned Carquest locations. Management continues to reshape the network around market hubs, invest in supply chain and technology (including artificial intelligence) and warns that heavy leverage, restructuring costs, macro pressures, tariffs and intense competition remain key risks. Cash flows from continuing operations turned negative, with $46 million used in operating activities.
Advance Auto Parts reported a sharp improvement in profitability for Q4 and full year 2025 while revenue declined. Fourth quarter 2025 net sales were $1.97 billion, roughly flat year over year, with comparable store sales up 1.1%. Adjusted operating margin rose to 3.7%, and adjusted diluted EPS turned to $0.86 from a loss of $(1.18).
For full year 2025, net sales were $8.60 billion versus $9.09 billion, but adjusted operating margin expanded to 2.5% from 0.4%, and adjusted diluted EPS improved to $2.26 from a loss of $(0.29), reflecting restructuring benefits and margin gains. Free cash flow was a negative $298 million, pressured by about $140 million in cash restructuring and related charges.
At January 3 2026, cash and cash equivalents were $3.12 billion and long‑term debt was $3.41 billion. The company closed 522 stores during 2025, ending with 4,305 locations. For 2026 it guides net sales of $8.49–$8.58 billion, comparable sales growth of 1–2%, adjusted operating margin of 3.8–4.5%, and adjusted EPS of $2.40–$3.10, and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share.
