Fiscal calendar (12-12-12-16 weeks): AutoZone's fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of August and comprises three 12-week quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3) and one 16-week fourth quarter (Q4; 17 weeks in 53-week FY2024). Latest completed period is Q4 FY2026 / FY2026 (ended August 29, 2026; Form 8-K filed September 22, 2026; Form 10-K filed October 26, 2026; Proxy DEF 14A & ARS filed October 27, 2026). Because Q4 spans 16 (or 17) weeks versus 12 weeks in Q1–Q3, sequential Q4 vs. Q3 dollar figures are not directly comparable without weekly normalization (e.g., Average Weekly Sales per Commercial Program).
Core operational KPIs (Groups 1–5) surface metrics absent from GAAP financial statements and the Segments tab: (1) 8,031 stores globally across all 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, D.C., USVI (6,863 domestic), Mexico (1,001), and Brazil (167), 54.66M sq ft of store space (4,542 leased vs. 3,489 owned), 417 Domestic Hubs (including 172 Mega-Hubs carrying 100,000+ SKUs), 74 International Hubs (11 Mexico Mega-Hubs), and 16 Distribution Centers (9.2M sq ft); (2) Same-Store Sales (Actual & Constant Currency, plus call-exclusive Domestic DIY comp -0.6% in Q4 vs. +8.6% Commercial growth and DIY average ticket growth +5.0%), Domestic Commercial engine ($5,762.4M FY26 sales, 6,443 programs at 94% domestic store penetration, $18,700 weekly sales/program in Q4), and Disaggregated Merchandise Revenue (Failure $9,952.0M, Maintenance $7,420.2M, Accessories & Other $2,966.4M); (3) Negative Working Capital & Supplier Finance engine (111.1% AP/Inventory ratio, $7,735.6M merchandise inventories absent from Postgres DB, -$861.0M / -$107K per-store net inventory, $5,778.5M confirmed supplier finance obligations, $275.0M LIFO reserve, and 12% direct imports); and (4) Capital efficiency (35.8% Adjusted ROIC, 2.5x Adjusted Debt/EBITDAR, and $40.54B / 156.2M cumulative share repurchases since FY1998).
Segment reorganization breakpoint (Q4 FY2025): In Q4 FY2025, AutoZone consolidated its reporting into a single segment and folded 'All Other' (ALLDATA diagnostic software & e-commerce) into 'Accessories & Other' merchandise revenue (restated FY2023–FY2026). Legacy pre-Q4 FY25 'All Other' (through Q3 FY2025) and 'Discretionary' (through FY2024) series are retained as labeled legacy child rows up to their reporting breakpoints. No parent-only standalone financial statements exist under U.S. GAAP (Form 10-K omits Schedule I), so Consolidated − Standalone subtraction is not applicable.
All values are strictly as published (verbatim quotes appear on hover for prose/transcript-extracted cells; bound figures such as 'just over 32% of domestic auto parts sales', 'north of 6% same-SKU inflation', and 'over 100,000 SKUs' are excluded). The only arithmetic in table cells is period splitting (Q4 = full year − 36-week 9M; quarterly cash flow = YTD − prior YTD), shown in italic with its formula.
