Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
Legal Matters and Contingencies	13. Contingencies On October 9, 2023, and October 27, 2023, two putative class actions on behalf of purchasers of the Company’s securities who purchased or otherwise acquired their securities between November 16, 2022, and May 30, 2023, inclusive (the “Class Period”), were commenced against the Company and certain of the Company’s former officers in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants made certain false and materially misleading statements during the alleged Class Period in violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. These cases were consolidated on February 9, 2024, and the court-appointed lead plaintiff filed a consolidated and amended complaint on April 22, 2024. The consolidated and amended complaint proposes a Class Period of November 16, 2022 to November 15, 2023, and alleges that defendants made false and misleading statements in connection with (a) the Company’s 2023 guidance and (b) certain accounting issues previously disclosed by the Company. On June 21, 2024, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated and amended complaint. The Company strongly disputes the allegations and intends to defend the case vigorously. On January 17, 2024, February 20, 2024, and February 26, 2024, derivative shareholder complaints were commenced against the Company’s directors and certain former officers alleging derivative liability for the allegations made in the securities class action complaints noted above. On April 9, 2024, the court consolidated these actions and appointed co-lead counsel. On June 10, 2024, the court issued a stay order on the consolidated derivative complaint pending resolution of the motion to dismiss for the underlying securities class action complaint.

Nature of Operations and Basis

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Description of Business Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and subsidiaries is a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider in North America, serving both professional installers (“professional”) and “do-it-yourself” (“DIY”) customers. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Advance Auto Parts, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries, Advance Stores Company, Incorporated (“Advance Stores”) and Neuse River Insurance Company, Inc., and their subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “the Company”). As of July 13, 2024, the Company operated a total of 4,776 stores and 321 branches primarily within the United States, with additional locations in Canada, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition, as of July 13, 2024, the Company served 1,138 independently owned Carquest branded stores across the same geographic locations served by the Company’s stores and branches in addition to Mexico and various Caribbean islands. The Company’s stores operate primarily under the trade names “Advance Auto Parts” and “Carquest” and the Company’s branches operate under the “Worldpac” and “Autopart International” trade names. Basis of Presentation The accounting policies followed in the presentation of interim financial results are consistent with those followed on an annual basis. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), have been condensed or omitted based upon the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) interim reporting principles. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024, and the amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 30, 2024 (collectively the “2023 Form 10-K”). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year. The Company’s first quarter of the year contains sixteen weeks. The Company’s remaining three quarters each consist of twelve weeks. Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements for Correction of Immaterial Errors During the year ended December 30, 2023, the Company identified errors impacting cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and other income (expense), net, of $62.9 million, $36.6 million and $1.7 million incurred in prior years but not previously recognized. These charges primarily related to product costs and vendor credits. Management assessed the materiality of the errors, including the presentation on prior period consolidated financial statements, on a qualitative and quantitative basis in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99, Materiality, codified in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. The Company concluded that these errors and the related impacts did not result in a material misstatement of its previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and January 1, 2022 and its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the sixteen weeks ended April 22, 2023; the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 15, 2023; and the twelve and forty weeks ended October 7, 2023. Correcting the cumulative effect of these errors in the fifty-two weeks ended December 30, 2023 would have had a significant effect on the results of operations for such period. The Company has corrected the relevant prior periods of its consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for these and other immaterial corrections for comparative purposes, as previously disclosed in Note 18.

This ASU should be applied prospectively, and the effective date will be determined for each individual disclosure based on the effective date of the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure. If the applicable requirements have not been removed by the SEC by June 30, 2027, this ASU will not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-06 on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and does not believe it will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires a company to disclose additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s significant expenses, even if there is one reportable segment, and is intended to improve the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07 and believes that the adoption will result in additional disclosures, but will not have any other impact on its consolidated financial statements and segment reporting. Income Tax Disclosure Improvements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (“ASU 2023-09”) , which requires a company to enhance its income tax disclosures. In each annual reporting period, the company should disclose the specific categories used in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, including disaggregation of taxes paid by jurisdiction. The related disclosures are effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and believes that the adoption will result in additional disclosures, but will not have any other impact on its consolidated financial statements. Climate Disclosure Requirements In March 2024, the SEC issued its final climate disclosure rules, which require the disclosure of climate-related information in annual reports and registration statements. The rules require disclosure in the audited financial statements of certain effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions and greenhouse gas emissions above certain financial thresholds, as well as amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates, if material. Additionally, the rule established disclosure requirements regarding material climate-related risks, descriptions of board oversight and risk management activities, the material impacts of these risks on a registrants' strategy, business model and outlook and any material climate-related targets or goals. On April 4, 2024, the SEC determined to voluntarily stay the final rules pending certain legal challenges. Prior to the stay in the new rules, disclosures would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, except for the greenhouse gas emissions disclosure which would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new rules on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Inventory Disclosure [Abstract]
Inventories	Inventories, net The Company used the last in, first out (“LIFO”) method of accounting for approximately 91.3% of inventories as of July 13, 2024 and 91.4% as of December 30, 2023. As a result, the Company recorded a reduction to cost of sales of $37.4 million and $26.8 million for the twelve weeks ended July 13, 2024 and July 15, 2023 to state inventories at LIFO. For the twenty-eight weeks ended July 13, 2024 and July 15, 2023, the Company recorded a reduction to cost of sales of $42.4 million and $33.5 million to state inventories at LIFO. Purchasing and warehousing costs included in inventories as of July 13, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were $559.7 million and $576.9 million. 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. Inventory balances were as follows: July 13, 2024 December 30, 2023 Inventories at first in, first out (“FIFO”) $ 5,045,131 $ 5,041,752 Adjustments to state inventories at LIFO (141,641) (184,050) Inventories at LIFO $ 4,903,490 $ 4,857,702

Long-term Debt and Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Long-term Debt and Fair Value of Financial Instruments Long-term debt consisted of the following: July 13, 2024 December 30, 2023 5.90% Senior Unsecured Notes due March 9, 2026 $ 298,768 $ 298,369 1.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due October 1, 2027 347,821 347,514 5.95% Senior Unsecured Notes due March 9, 2028 298,361 298,116 3.90% Senior Unsecured Notes due April 15, 2030 496,467 496,149 3.50% Senior Unsecured Notes due March 15, 2032 346,450 346,213 Revolver credit facility — — $ 1,787,867 $ 1,786,361 Less: Current portion of long-term debt — — Long-term debt, excluding the current portion $ 1,787,867 $ 1,786,361 Fair value of long-term debt $ 1,668,101 $ 1,641,409 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities The fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes 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. Bank Debt On February 26, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility (“2021 Credit Agreement”) to enable certain addbacks to the definition of Consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) contained therein for specific write-downs of inventory and vendor receivables. Amendment No. 4 also updated certain limitations on future incurrences of other indebtedness and liens, replacing the cap thereon of 10% of consolidated net tangible assets with $400 million, and eliminated the $250 million basket for accounts receivable securitization transactions. Amendment No. 4 made no other material changes to the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement. The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants restricting the ability of: (a) Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) create, incur or assume additional debt (only with respect to subsidiaries of Advance Auto Parts, Inc.), (ii) incur liens, (iii) guarantee obligations, and (iv) change the nature of their business; (b) Advance Auto Parts, Inc., Advance Stores and their subsidiaries to, among other things (i) enter into certain hedging arrangements, (ii) enter into restrictive agreements limiting their ability to incur liens on any of their property or assets, pay distributions, repay loans, or guarantee indebtedness of their subsidiaries; and (c) Advance Auto Parts, Inc., among other things, to change its holding company status. The Company is also required to comply with financial covenants with respect to a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum coverage ratio. The 2021 Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default, including non-payment defaults, covenant defaults and cross-defaults of Advance’s other material indebtedness. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants with respect to the 2021 Credit Agreement as of July 13, 2024. As of July 13, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings, $1.2 billion of borrowing availability and no letters of credit outstanding under the 2021 Credit Agreement. As of July 13, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company had $90.8 million and $91.2 million of bilateral letters of credit issued separately from the 2021 Credit Agreement, 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. Senior Unsecured Notes The Company’s 3.90% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2030 (the “Original Notes”) were issued April 16, 2020, at 99.65% of the principal amount of $500.0 million, and were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Original Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, at a rate of 3.90% per year. On July 28, 2020, the Company completed an exchange offer whereby the Original Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million were exchanged for a like principal amount (the “Exchange Notes” or “2030 Notes”), and which have been registered under the Securities Act. The Original Notes were substantially identical to the Exchange Notes, except the Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act and are not subject to the transfer restrictions and certain registration rights agreement provisions applicable to the Original Notes. The Company’s 1.75% senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) were issued September 29, 2020, at 99.67% of the principal amount of $350.0 million. The 2027 Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, at a rate of 1.75% per year. In connection with the 2027 Notes offering, the Company incurred $2.9 million of debt issuance costs. The Company’s 3.50% senior unsecured notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”) were issued March 4, 2022, at 99.61% of the principal amount of $350.0 million. The 2032 Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, at a rate of 3.50% per year. In connection with the 2032 Notes offering, the Company incurred $3.2 million of debt issuance costs. The Company’s 5.90% senior unsecured notes due March 9, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) were issued March 9, 2023, at 99.94% of the principal amount of $300.0 million. The 2026 Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 9 and September 9, at a rate of 5.90% per year. In connection with the 2026 Notes offering, the Company incurred $1.6 million of debt issuance costs. The Company’s 5.95% senior unsecured notes due March 9, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) were issued March 9, 2023, at 99.92% of the principal amount of $300.0 million. The 2028 Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 9 and September 9, at a rate of 5.95% per year. In connection with the 2028 Notes offering, the Company incurred $1.9 million of debt issuance costs. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes (the “Notes”) at any time, or from time to time, prior to March 9, 2026 in the case of the 2026 Notes, or February 9, 2028 in the case of the 2028 Notes, at the redemption price described in the related indenture for the Notes (the “Indenture”). In the event of a change of control triggering event, as defined in the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer the repurchase of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. Currently, the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsubordinated unsecured basis by guarantor and subsidiary guarantees, as defined by the Indenture. Debt Guarantees The Company is a guarantor of loans made by banks to various independently owned Carquest-branded stores that are customers of the Company. These loans totaled $105.5 million and $106.9 million as of July 13, 2024 and December 30, 2023 and 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 $189.8 million and $221.2 million as of July 13, 2024 and December 30, 2023. The Company believes that the likelihood of performance under these guarantees is remote.
Supplier Finance Program	11. Supplier Finance Programs The Company maintains supply chain financing agreements with third-party financial institutions to provide the Company’s suppliers with enhanced receivables options. 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 July 13, 2024, and December 30, 2023, $3.2 billion and $3.4 billion of the Company’s accounts payable were to suppliers participating in these financing arrangements.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation	Share-Based Compensation The Company grants options to purchase common stock to certain employees under the Company’s 2023 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. The general terms of the time-based and market-based RSUs and stock options are similar to awards previously granted by the Company. The Company records compensation expense for the grant date fair value of the option awards evenly over the vesting period. During the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 13, 2024, the Company granted the following time-based and market-based RSUs: Twelve Weeks Ended Twenty-Eight Weeks Ended July 13, 2024 July 13, 2024 Time-based RSUs Number of awards 49.4 549.5 Weighted-average fair value $ 64.16 $ 78.01 Market-based RSUs Number of awards — 149.2 Weighted-average fair value — $ 113.31 The fair value of each market-based RSU was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. For time-based RSUs, the fair value of each award was determined based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant adjusted for expected dividends during the vesting period, as applicable. During the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 13, 2024, the Company granted the following stock options: Twelve Weeks Ended Twenty-Eight Weeks Ended Number of awards 9.8 203.5 Weighted-average fair value $ 25.48 $ 31.88 The fair value of each option was estimated on the date of grant by applying the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. Twelve Weeks Ended Twenty-Eight Weeks Ended Risk-free interest rate (1) 4.2 % 4.1 - 4.2 % Expected term (2) 6 years 6 years Expected volatility (3) 41.6 % 41.6 - 42.6 % Expected dividend yield (4) 1.4 % 1.4 - 1.5 % (1) The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield in effect at grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities equivalent to the expected term of the stock options. (2) The expected term represents the period of time options granted are expected to be outstanding. As the Company does not have sufficient historical data, the Company utilized the simplified method provided by the SEC to calculate the expected term as the average of the contractual term and vesting period. (3) Expected volatility is the measure of the amount by which the stock price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. The Company utilized historical trends and the implied volatility of the Company’s publicly traded financial instruments in developing the volatility estimate for its stock options. (4) The expected dividend yield is calculated based on our expected quarterly dividend and the three month average stock price as of the grant date. The total income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense for the twelve and twenty-eight weeks ended July 13, 2024 was $2.7 million and $6.6 million. As of July 13, 2024, there was $100.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to all share-based awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted	Disclosure Improvements In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements (“ASU 2023-06”), which defines when companies will be required to improve and clarify disclosure and presentation requirements. This ASU should be applied prospectively, and the effective date will be determined for each individual disclosure based on the effective date of the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure. If the applicable requirements have not been removed by the SEC by June 30, 2027, this ASU will not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-06 on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, and does not believe it will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires a company to disclose additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s significant expenses, even if there is one reportable segment, and is intended to improve the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-07 and believes that the adoption will result in additional disclosures, but will not have any other impact on its consolidated financial statements and segment reporting. Income Tax Disclosure Improvements In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (“ASU 2023-09”) , which requires a company to enhance its income tax disclosures. In each annual reporting period, the company should disclose the specific categories used in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, including disaggregation of taxes paid by jurisdiction. The related disclosures are effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and believes that the adoption will result in additional disclosures, but will not have any other impact on its consolidated financial statements. Climate Disclosure Requirements In March 2024, the SEC issued its final climate disclosure rules, which require the disclosure of climate-related information in annual reports and registration statements. The rules require disclosure in the audited financial statements of certain effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions and greenhouse gas emissions above certain financial thresholds, as well as amounts related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates, if material. Additionally, the rule established disclosure requirements regarding material climate-related risks, descriptions of board oversight and risk management activities, the material impacts of these risks on a registrants' strategy, business model and outlook and any material climate-related targets or goals. On April 4, 2024, the SEC determined to voluntarily stay the final rules pending certain legal challenges. Prior to the stay in the new rules, disclosures would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, except for the greenhouse gas emissions disclosure which would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new rules on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Long-term Debt and Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Long-term Debt and Fair Value of Financial Instruments Long-term debt consisted of the following: July 13, 2024 December 30, 2023 5.90% Senior Unsecured Notes due March 9, 2026 $ 298,768 $ 298,369 1.75% Senior Unsecured Notes due October 1, 2027 347,821 347,514 5.95% Senior Unsecured Notes due March 9, 2028 298,361 298,116 3.90% Senior Unsecured Notes due April 15, 2030 496,467 496,149 3.50% Senior Unsecured Notes due March 15, 2032 346,450 346,213 Revolver credit facility — — $ 1,787,867 $ 1,786,361 Less: Current portion of long-term debt — — Long-term debt, excluding the current portion $ 1,787,867 $ 1,786,361 Fair value of long-term debt $ 1,668,101 $ 1,641,409 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities The fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes 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. Bank Debt On February 26, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) to the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility (“2021 Credit Agreement”) to enable certain addbacks to the definition of Consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) contained therein for specific write-downs of inventory and vendor receivables. Amendment No. 4 also updated certain limitations on future incurrences of other indebtedness and liens, replacing the cap thereon of 10% of consolidated net tangible assets with $400 million, and eliminated the $250 million basket for accounts receivable securitization transactions. Amendment No. 4 made no other material changes to the terms of the 2021 Credit Agreement. The 2021 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants restricting the ability of: (a) Advance Auto Parts, Inc. and its subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) create, incur or assume additional debt (only with respect to subsidiaries of Advance Auto Parts, Inc.), (ii) incur liens, (iii) guarantee obligations, and (iv) change the nature of their business; (b) Advance Auto Parts, Inc., Advance Stores and their subsidiaries to, among other things (i) enter into certain hedging arrangements, (ii) enter into restrictive agreements limiting their ability to incur liens on any of their property or assets, pay distributions, repay loans, or guarantee indebtedness of their subsidiaries; and (c) Advance Auto Parts, Inc., among other things, to change its holding company status. The Company is also required to comply with financial covenants with respect to a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum coverage ratio. The 2021 Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default, including non-payment defaults, covenant defaults and cross-defaults of Advance’s other material indebtedness. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants with respect to the 2021 Credit Agreement as of July 13, 2024. As of July 13, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings, $1.2 billion of borrowing availability and no letters of credit outstanding under the 2021 Credit Agreement. As of July 13, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company had $90.8 million and $91.2 million of bilateral letters of credit issued separately from the 2021 Credit Agreement, 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. Senior Unsecured Notes The Company’s 3.90% senior unsecured notes due April 15, 2030 (the “Original Notes”) were issued April 16, 2020, at 99.65% of the principal amount of $500.0 million, and were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Original Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, at a rate of 3.90% per year. On July 28, 2020, the Company completed an exchange offer whereby the Original Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million were exchanged for a like principal amount (the “Exchange Notes” or “2030 Notes”), and which have been registered under the Securities Act. The Original Notes were substantially identical to the Exchange Notes, except the Exchange Notes are registered under the Securities Act and are not subject to the transfer restrictions and certain registration rights agreement provisions applicable to the Original Notes. The Company’s 1.75% senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) were issued September 29, 2020, at 99.67% of the principal amount of $350.0 million. The 2027 Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1, at a rate of 1.75% per year. In connection with the 2027 Notes offering, the Company incurred $2.9 million of debt issuance costs. The Company’s 3.50% senior unsecured notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”) were issued March 4, 2022, at 99.61% of the principal amount of $350.0 million. The 2032 Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, at a rate of 3.50% per year. In connection with the 2032 Notes offering, the Company incurred $3.2 million of debt issuance costs. The Company’s 5.90% senior unsecured notes due March 9, 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) were issued March 9, 2023, at 99.94% of the principal amount of $300.0 million. The 2026 Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 9 and September 9, at a rate of 5.90% per year. In connection with the 2026 Notes offering, the Company incurred $1.6 million of debt issuance costs. The Company’s 5.95% senior unsecured notes due March 9, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) were issued March 9, 2023, at 99.92% of the principal amount of $300.0 million. The 2028 Notes bear interest, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 9 and September 9, at a rate of 5.95% per year. In connection with the 2028 Notes offering, the Company incurred $1.9 million of debt issuance costs. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes (the “Notes”) at any time, or from time to time, prior to March 9, 2026 in the case of the 2026 Notes, or February 9, 2028 in the case of the 2028 Notes, at the redemption price described in the related indenture for the Notes (the “Indenture”). In the event of a change of control triggering event, as defined in the Indenture, the Company will be required to offer the repurchase of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. Currently, the Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsubordinated unsecured basis by guarantor and subsidiary guarantees, as defined by the Indenture. Debt Guarantees The Company is a guarantor of loans made by banks to various independently owned Carquest-branded stores that are customers of the Company. These loans totaled $105.5 million and $106.9 million as of July 13, 2024 and December 30, 2023 and 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 $189.8 million and $221.2 million as of July 13, 2024 and December 30, 2023. The Company believes that the likelihood of performance under these guarantees is remote.
