SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained herein, including in ‘‘Item 1 Business’’ and ‘‘Item 7 Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations’’, constitute ‘‘forward-looking
statements’’ within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words
‘‘guidance,’’ ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘anticipates,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ ‘‘forecasts’’ and similar expressions are intended to
identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include management’s
expectations regarding implementation of its long-term strategic plan, future financial performance,
automotive aftermarket trends, levels of competition, business development activities, future capital
expenditures, financing sources and availability and the effects of regulation and litigation. Although we
believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable
assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. Our actual results may
differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements due to factors beyond our
control, including the strength of the national and regional economies, retail and commercial
consumers’ ability to spend, the health of the various sectors of the automotive aftermarket, the
weather in geographical regions with a high concentration of our stores, competitive pricing, the
location and number of competitors’ stores, product and labor costs and the additional factors
described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’). See ‘‘Item 1A Risk
Factors.’’ We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become
untrue because of subsequent events.
