INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 19, 2016, Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release setting forth its financial results for its first quarter ended April 23, 2016. This release includes forward looking statements including, but are not limited to, statements related to the Company's 2016 fiscal year.

The Company's financial results for the first quarter ended April 23, 2016 and April 25, 2015 include General Parts International, Inc. ("GPI") integration costs, store consolidation costs, support center restructuring expenses and amortization of GPI acquired intangible assets. As a result of these expenses, the Company’s financial results for these periods include certain non-operational expenses. Thus, the Company’s financial results have been presented in this press release on both a generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis and on an adjusted basis to exclude the integration costs, store consolidation costs, restructuring expenses and amortization recognized in the respective periods. The Company has provided the required reconciliation of the financial results reported on an adjusted basis to the most directly adjusted GAAP basis and has provided an explanation as to why the financial results presented on a non-GAAP basis are useful to investors.

The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) Departure of Named Executive Officer

On May 19, 2016, the Company announced that it has mutually agreed with Mr. Michael A. Norona, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, that he will be leaving the Company.

Mr. Norona will continue serving as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer while the Company’s external search for a new Chief Financial Officer is in process. Once a new Chief Financial Officer is named, Mr. Norona will also remain available to assist with the transition of his responsibilities for a period of time following such appointment. The terms and conditions of Mr. Norona’s separation and release agreement have not been finalized.
 
Mr. Norona’s departure is not the result of any disagreement regarding the Company’s operations, financial reporting or accounting policies, procedures, estimates or judgments.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
