Advance Auto Parts Q2 sales fall to $2.0 billion; adjusted EPS guidance cut
Advance Auto Parts reported second-quarter 2025 net sales of $2.0 billion, down from $2.2 billion a year earlier, and GAAP diluted EPS of $0.25 versus $0.51. The company cut its full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance to $1.20 to $2.20, citing about $0.30 of higher net interest expense from a recent senior notes offering, and it entered a $1.0 billion asset-based revolving credit facility on August 12, 2025. For shareholders, lower sales and GAAP profit plus a reduced earnings outlook weigh against the rise in adjusted EPS to $0.69 from $0.62.
