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’’, ‘‘expect’’, ‘‘anticipate’’, ‘‘estimates’’, ‘‘targets’’, ‘‘forecasts’’ and similar expressions are
intended to identify such 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 such 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.’’ Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We assume no
obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of
subsequent events.
