INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT


Item 8.01 Other Events.

Adoption of Accounting Guidance for Revised Comprehensive Income Presentation

Advance Auto Parts, Inc. (the “Parent”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect the retrospective adoption of a new accounting pronouncement with respect to the financial information contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Effective first quarter ended April 21, 2012, the Parent and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05 "Comprehensive Income - Presentation of Comprehensive Income" which changed how comprehensive income is presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements. This guidance was applied retrospectively for the interim periods presented. The adoption of this guidance changed the presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements but did not affect the calculation of net income, comprehensive income or earnings per share. The following presents the retrospective application of ASU 2011-05 for the three most recently completed fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, January 1, 2011 and January 2, 2010 and should be read in conjunction with the information in the Parent's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011:
