Management Comments
Phil Daniele
I want to thank our AutoZoners across the company for delivering solid financial results this past quarter. We continue to be pleased with our strategies to grow sales. Domestically, both DIY and Commercial sales continued to perform well this past quarter in spite of winter storms causing disruptions the last week of January and the first week of February. While our international sales, in constant currency, were slightly below our expectations, we believe our market share continues to grow as we outpace our competition in both Mexico and Brazil. We were also pleased to have opened 64 net new stores globally in the quarter, in line with our expectations to open approximately 350-360 stores for the full fiscal year. As we remain focused on gaining market share across our highly fragmented industry, we remain committed to a disciplined approach of increasing earnings and cash flows to drive shareholder value.
