Note M – Segment Reporting

The Company is a leading retailer and distributor of automotive parts and accessories through the Company’s 7,856 stores in the Americas.

The Company has a single operating and reportable segment which aligns with how the Company is managed. This single operating segment includes all operations which are designed to enable customers to purchase products seamlessly in stores and from our online platforms. We carry an extensive product line for cars, sport utility vehicles, vans and light duty trucks, including new and remanufactured automotive hard parts, maintenance items, accessories and non-automotive products. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), the Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews consolidated net income, as well as significant segment expenses included in the table below, to evaluate performance and allocate resources. The CODM also evaluates consolidated actual results versus forecasts, budgets and prior year results. The measure of segment assets is reported as “Total assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 9, 2026, and August 30, 2025. Expenditures for long-lived segment assets are reported as “Capital expenditures” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the thirty-six weeks ended May 9, 2026, and May 10, 2025.

The following table represents significant expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM for the twelve and thirty-six weeks ended May 9, 2026, and May 10, 2025:
