NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Pep Boys — Manny, Moe & Jack and subsidiaries (the “Company”) consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales, costs and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and other related disclosures. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and the Company includes any revisions to its estimates in the results for the period in which the actual amounts become known.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-X, “Interim Financial Statements.” It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012. The results of operations for the twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year.

The consolidated financial statements presented herein are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of July 28, 2012 and for all periods presented have been made.

The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest January 31. Accordingly, references to fiscal years 2012 and 2011 refer to the fiscal year ending February 2, 2013 and the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012, respectively.

The Company operated 742 store locations at July 28, 2012, of which 232 were owned and 510 were leased.

NOTE 2—NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) — Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”), which is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance amends certain accounting and disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June of 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 was issued to improve the comparability of financial reporting between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, and eliminates previous U.S. GAAP guidance that allowed an entity to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of its statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. With the issuance of ASU 2011-05, companies are now required to report all components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of total comprehensive income, which includes components of both OCI and net income, or in a separate statement appearing consecutively with the statement of income. ASU 2011-05 does not affect current guidance for the accounting of the components of OCI, or which items are included within total comprehensive income, and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 affected presentation only and therefore did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) —Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”). The new guidance provides entities with the option to perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before applying the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test. Entities also have the option to bypass the assessment of qualitative factors for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test, as was required prior to the issuance of this new guidance. The new guidance is

effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3—ACQUISITIONS

During the twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2011, the Company made three separate acquisitions. The Company acquired the assets related to seven service and tire centers located in the Seattle-Tacoma area, the assets related to seven service and tire centers located in the Houston, Texas area and all outstanding shares of capital stock of Tire Stores Group Holding Corporation which operated an 85-store chain in Florida, Georgia and Alabama under the name Big 10. Collectively, the acquired stores produced approximately $94.7 million (unaudited) in sales annually based on pre-acquisition historical information. The total purchase price of these stores was approximately $42.6 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The acquisitions were financed through cash flows provided by operations. The results of operations of these acquired stores are included in the Company’s results from their respective acquisition dates.

The Company expensed all costs related to these acquisitions during fiscal 2011. The total costs related to these acquisitions were $1.5 million and are included in the consolidated statement of operations within selling, general and administrative expenses.

As the Company’s acquisitions (including Big 10) were immaterial to the Company’s operating results both individually and in aggregate for the thirteen and twenty six week periods ended July 30, 2011, pro forma results of operations are not disclosed. Sales and net earnings for the fiscal 2011 acquired stores totaled $21.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively for the period from acquisition date through July 30, 2011.

NOTE 4—MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES

Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must be based on management’s estimates of expected fiscal year-end inventory levels and costs. If the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method of costing inventory had been used by the Company, inventory would have been $553.9 million and $536.4 million as of July 28, 2012 and January 28, 2012, respectively.

The Company’s inventory, consisting primarily of auto parts and accessories, is used on vehicles typically having long lives. Because of this, and combined with the Company’s historical experience of returning excess inventory to the Company’s vendors for full credit, the risk of obsolescence is minimal. The Company establishes a reserve for excess inventory for instances where less than full credit will be received for such returns or where the Company anticipates items will be sold at retail prices that are less than recorded costs. The reserve is based on management’s judgment, including estimates and assumptions regarding marketability of products, the market value of inventory to be sold in future periods and on historical experiences where the Company received less than full credit from vendors for product returns. The Company also provides for estimated inventory shrinkage based upon historical levels and the results of its cycle counting program. The Company’s inventory adjustments for these matters were approximately $4.3 million at July 28, 2012 and $4.6 million at January 28, 2012.

NOTE 5—PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The Company’s property and equipment as of July 28, 2012 and January 28, 2012 was as follows:

(dollar amounts in thousands)	July 28, 2012			January 28, 2012

Property and equipment
Land	$	204,023		$	204,023
Buildings and improvements	885,485			875,999

Accumulated depreciation and amortization	(1,149,556		)	(1,110,900		)
Property and equipment — net	$	682,619		$	696,339

Table of Contents

NOTE 6—WARRANTY RESERVE

The Company provides warranties for both its merchandise sales and service labor. Warranties for merchandise are generally covered by the respective vendors, with the Company covering any costs above the vendor’s stipulated allowance. Service labor is warranted in full by the Company for a limited specific time period. The Company establishes its warranty reserves based on historical experiences. These costs are included in either costs of merchandise sales or costs of service revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

The reserve for warranty cost activity for the twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 and the fifty-two weeks ended January 28, 2012 is as follows:

(dollar amounts in thousands)	July 28, 2012			January 28, 2012
Beginning balance	$	673		$	673

Additions related to current period sales	5,410			12,122

Warranty costs incurred in current period	(5,410		)	(12,122		)

Ending balance	$	673		$	673

NOTE 7—DEBT AND FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

The following are the components of debt and financing arrangements:

(dollar amounts in thousands)	July 28, 2012			January 28, 2012
7.50% Senior Subordinated Notes, due December 2014	$	147,565		$	147,565
Senior Secured Term Loan, due October 2013	147,018			147,557
Revolving Credit Agreement, through January 2016	175			—
Long-term debt	294,758			295,122
Current maturities	(1,254		)	(1,079		)
Long-term debt less current maturities	$	293,504		$	294,043

As of July 28, 2012, 126 stores collateralized the Senior Secured Term Loan.

The Company’s ability to borrow under its Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) is based on a specific borrowing base consisting of inventory and accounts receivable. The interest rate on this credit line is daily LIBOR plus 2.00% to 2.50% based upon the then current availability under the Agreement. As of July 28, 2012, there was $0.2 million outstanding under this agreement and $29.6 million of availability was utilized to support outstanding letters of credit. Taking this into account and the borrowing base requirements, as of July 28, 2012, there was $175.1 million of availability remaining.

Several of the Company’s debt agreements require compliance with covenants. The most restrictive of these covenants, an earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) requirement, is triggered if the Company’s availability under its Revolving Credit Agreement drops below $50.0 million. As of July 28, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants contained in its debt agreements.

Interest rates that are currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate fair value for debt issues that are not quoted on an exchange and are considered a level 2 measure under the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of long-term debt including current maturities was $296.6 million and $293.6 million as of July 28, 2012 and January 28, 2012, respectively.

	Discontinued operations, net of tax	—		—		—			—
	Basic earnings per share	$	0.62	$	0.26	$	0.64		$	0.49

	Discontinued operations, net of tax	—		—		—			—
	Diluted earnings per share	$	0.61	$	0.26	$	0.63		$	0.49

At July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, respectively, there were 2,382,000 and 2,682,000 outstanding options and restricted stock units. Certain stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares for the periods then ended and therefore would be anti-dilutive. The total number of such shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation are 503,000 and 830,000 for the twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, respectively. The total number of such shares excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation are 706,000 and 888,000 for the thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2012 and July 30, 2011, respectively.

NOTE 10—BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a qualified 401(k) savings plan and a separate plan for employees residing in Puerto Rico, which cover all full-time employees who are at least 21 years of age with one or more years of service. The Company also maintains a non-qualified defined contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Account Plan”) for key employees designated by the Board of Directors. The Company’s contribution to these plans for fiscal 2012 is contingent upon meeting certain performance metrics. The Company did not record any contribution expense for these plans in the first half of 2012 or 2011.

The Company also has a frozen defined benefit pension plan covering the Company’s full-time employees hired on or before February 1, 1992. The Company’s expense for its pension plan follows:

	Thirteen Weeks Ended						Twenty-six Weeks Ended
(dollar amounts in thousands)	July 28, 2012			July 30, 2011			July 28, 2012			July 30, 2011

Interest cost	619			627			1,238			1,278
Expected return on plan assets	(704		)	(721		)	(1,408		)	(1,372		)
Amortization of net loss	566			405			1,133			756
Net periodic benefit cost	$	481		$	311		$	963		$	662

The defined benefit pension plan is subject to minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 as amended. While the Company has no minimum funding requirement during fiscal 2011, it made a $3.0 million discretionary contribution to the defined benefit pension plan on April 28, 2011. There were no discretionary contributions made during the first half of 2012.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company began the process of terminating the Plan. The termination of the Plan is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2012. In order to terminate the Plan, in accordance with Internal Revenue Service and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation requirements, the Company is required to fully fund the Plan on a termination basis and will commit to contribute the additional assets necessary to do so. Plan participants will not be adversely affected by the Plan termination, but rather will have their benefits either converted into a lump sum cash payment or an annuity contract placed with an insurance carrier.

NOTE 11—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DERIVATIVES

The Company’s fair value measurements consist of (a) financial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the Company’s financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually) and (b) all non-recurring non-financial assets and liabilities.

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. There is a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of January 28, 2012 the Company invested $17.3 million in restricted accounts as collateral for its retained liabilities included within existing insurance programs in lieu of previously outstanding letters of credit, of which $4.8 million was invested during the first half of fiscal year 2011.

The Company has one interest rate swap designated as a cash flow hedge on $145.0 million of the Company’s Senior Secured Term Loan that is due in October 2013. The swap is used to minimize interest rate exposure and overall interest costs by converting the variable component of the total interest rate to a fixed rate of 5.036%. Since February 1, 2008, this swap was deemed to be fully effective and all adjustments in the interest rate swap’s fair value have been recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The table below shows the effect of the Company’s interest rate swap on the consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated:

(dollar amounts in thousands)	Amount of Gain in Other Comprehensive Income/ (Loss) (Effective Portion)		Earnings Statement Classification	Amount of Loss Recognized in Earnings (Effective Portion) (a)
Thirteen weeks ended July 28, 2012	$	897	Interest expense	$	(1,685	)
Thirteen weeks ended July 30, 2011	$	150	Interest expense	$	(1,772	)

Twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012	$	1,904	Interest expense	$	(3,339	)
Twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 2011	$	648	Interest expense	$	(3,491	)

(a) represents the effective portion of the loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss

The fair value of the derivative was $9.5 million and $12.5 million payable at July 28, 2012 and January 28, 2012, respectively. Of the $3.0 million decrease in the fair value during the twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012, $1.9 million net of tax was recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet.

Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, that is, the assets are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances such as when there is evidence of impairment. These measures of fair value, and related inputs, are considered level 2 or level 3 measures under the fair value hierarchy. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company recorded a $0.4 million

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following discussion and analysis explains the results of operations for the second fiscal quarter and first half of 2012 and 2011 and significant developments affecting our financial condition for the six months ended July 28, 2012. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated interim financial statements and the notes to such consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and the consolidated financial statements and the notes to such financial statements included in Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012.

INTRODUCTION

The Pep Boys—Manny, Moe & Jack is the leading national chain offering automotive service, tires, parts and accessories. This positioning allows us to streamline the distribution channel and pass the savings on to our customers facilitating our vision to be the automotive solutions provider of choice for the value-oriented customer. The majority of our stores are in a Supercenter format, which serves both “do-it-for-me” (“DIFM”), which includes service labor, installed merchandise and tires, and “do-it-yourself” (“DIY”) customers with the highest quality service and merchandise offerings. Most of our Supercenters also have a commercial sales program that provides delivery of tires, parts and other products to automotive repair shops and dealers. In 2009, as part of our long-term strategy to lead with automotive service, we began complementing our existing Supercenter store base with Service & Tire Centers. These Service & Tire Centers are designed to capture market share and leverage our existing Supercenters and support infrastructure. This growth will occur both organically and through acquisitions. The growth is targeted at existing markets, but may include new markets opportunistically. The objective is to grow our market share and to leverage inventory, marketing, distribution and support costs. Acquisitions will be used to accelerate growth in markets where the Company is under-penetrated.

In the first half of fiscal 2012, we opened eight Service & Tire Centers and one Supercenter and closed five stores whose leases expired and were not renewed. We are targeting a total of 30 new Service & Tire Centers and 10 Supercenters in fiscal 2012. As of July 28, 2012, we operated 562 Supercenters and 173 Service & Tire Centers, as well as 7 legacy Pep Boys Express (retail only) stores throughout 35 states and Puerto Rico.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Net earnings for the second quarter of 2012 were $33.0 million, a $19.1 million increase from the $13.9 million reported for the second quarter of 2011. In the second quarter of 2012, we terminated our proposed merger and recorded the settlement proceeds, net of merger related costs, of $43.0 million in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2012 also included, on a pre-tax basis, a $0.7 million charge for severance costs from a reduction in force at our Store Support Center. The prior year included, on a pre-tax basis, a $0.4 million asset impairment charge, $1.0 million of acquisition related expenses and a $3.4 million benefit from the release of state tax valuation allowances.

Our diluted earnings per share for the second quarter and the first six months of 2012 were $0.61 and $0.63, respectively, an improvement of $0.35 and $0.14 over the $0.26 and $0.49 recorded for the corresponding periods of 2011.

Total revenue increased for the second quarter of 2012 by 0.6%, or $3.1 million, as compared to the same period of the prior year as a result of our store growth. This increase in total revenues was comprised of a 4.6% increase in service revenue partially offset by a 0.5% decrease in merchandise sales. For the second quarter of 2012, comparable store sales (sales generated by locations in operation during the same period) were relatively flat and were comprised of a 3.1% increase in comparable store service revenue and a 0.9% decrease in comparable store merchandise sales.

We believe that the industry fundamentals of increasing vehicle complexity and customer preference for DIFM remain solid over the long-term resulting in consistent demand for maintenance and repair services. We are also encouraged that from January through June 2012, miles driven (which favorably impacts sales of our services and non-discretionary products) grew 1.1% after declining throughout 2011. However, we believe the tough macroeconomic environment, including continued high unemployment and negative consumer confidence in the overall U.S. economy, depressed our second quarter sales. In addition, we believe the recent spike in gasoline prices in August will continue to challenge consumer spending relative to discretionary and deferrable purchases in the short-term. However, given the nature of these macroeconomic factors, we cannot predict whether or for how long these trends will continue, nor can we predict to what degree these trends will affect us in the future.

Our primary response to fluctuations in customer demand is to adjust our service and product assortment, store staffing and advertising messages. In addition, we continue to make it easy for customers to choose us to do it for them and to expand our online efforts to make Pep Boys the most convenient place to shop for all of their automotive needs. We believe that we are well positioned to help our customers save money and meet their needs in a challenging macroeconomic environment.

(1) Service revenue consists of the labor charge for installing merchandise or maintaining or repairing vehicles, excluding the sale of any installed parts or materials.

(2) Costs of merchandise sales include the cost of products sold, purchasing, warehousing and store occupancy costs. Costs of service revenue include service center payroll and related employee benefits and service center occupancy costs. Occupancy costs include utilities, rents, real estate and property taxes, repairs and maintenance and depreciation and amortization expenses.

(3) As a percentage of related sales or revenue, as applicable.

(4) As a percentage of earnings from continuing operations before income taxes.

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2012 increased by $3.1 million to $525.7 million from $522.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, while comparable store sales for the second quarter of 2012 were relatively flat as compared to the second quarter of 2011. Our comparable store sales consisted of an increase of 3.1% in comparable store service revenue offset by a decrease of 0.9% in comparable store merchandise sales. Total comparable store sales were flat as a result of lower customer counts offset by an increase in the average transaction amount per customer. While our total revenue figures were favorably impacted by the opening or acquisition of new stores, a new store is not added to our comparable store sales until it reaches its 13th month of operation. Non-

Table of Contents

comparable stores contributed an additional $3.4 million of total revenue in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the second quarter of 2011.

Total merchandise sales decreased 0.5%, or $1.9 million, to $413.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $415.3 million during the prior year quarter. The decrease in total merchandise sales was due to a decline in comparable store merchandise sales of 0.9%, or $3.6 million, partially offset by our non-comparable stores which contributed an additional $1.7 million of sales in the quarter. The decrease in comparable store merchandise sales was driven primarily by lower comparable store customer counts partially offset by a higher average transaction amount per customer. The decrease in comparable store merchandise sales was comprised of a 3.8% decline in our retail business, mostly offset by a 4.3% increase in merchandise sold through our service business. Total service revenue increased 4.6%, or $5.0 million, to $112.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 from the $107.3 million recorded in the prior year quarter. The increase in service revenue was comprised of a $3.3 million, or 3.1%, increase in comparable store service revenue and our new non-comparable stores contributed an additional $1.7 million of service revenues. The increase in comparable store service revenue was due to higher customer counts offset by a decrease in the average transaction amount per customer.

We believe that total comparable store customer counts decreased due to macroeconomic conditions, while the average transaction amount per customer increased due to selling price increases implemented to reflect the inflation in material costs. However, in our service business, we believe that comparable store service customer counts increased due to the strength in our maintenance business led by increased oil change transactions, which have a lower average transaction amount per customer. This shift in service sales mix towards oil changes reduced the average transaction amount per service customer. We believe that the current economic environment including continued high unemployment weighed heavily on consumer spending relative to discretionary and deferrable purchases and depressed our second quarter sales. Over the long-term, we believe that utilizing innovative marketing programs to communicate our value-priced, differentiated service and merchandise assortment will drive increased customer counts and that our continued focus on delivering a better customer experience than our competitors will convert those increased customer counts into sales improvements consistently over all lines of business.

Total gross profit decreased by $4.6 million, or 3.4%, to $130.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $135.2 million in the second quarter of 2011. Total gross profit margin decreased to 24.8% for the second quarter of 2012 from 25.9% for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in total gross profit margin was primarily due to the shift in sales to lower margin tires and oil combined with decreased tire margin rates due to cost increases exceeding retail price increases (70 basis points) and higher occupancy and payroll and related expenses as a percent of total sales (35 basis points). The new Service & Tire Centers have a higher concentration of their sales in lower margin tires and have higher rent and payroll costs as a percent of total sales. While the new Service & Tire Centers have had a negative impact on total gross profit margin, these Service & Tire Centers positively contributed to total gross profit in both years.

Gross profit from merchandise sales decreased by $2.2 million, or 1.7%, to $125.3 million for the second quarter of 2012 from $127.5 million in the second quarter of 2011. Gross profit margin from merchandise sales decreased to 30.3% for the second quarter of 2012 from 30.7% in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in gross profit from merchandise sales was due to the shift in sales mix to lower margin tires and oil, decreased tire margin rates due to cost increases exceeding retail price increases and higher warehousing costs partially offset by lower store occupancy costs (utilities, and depreciation) as a percent of merchandise sales.

Gross profit from service revenue decreased by $2.4 million, or 31.2%, to $5.3 million in the second quarter of 2012 from $7.7 million recorded in the second quarter of 2011. Gross profit margin from service revenue decreased to 4.7% for the second quarter of 2012 from 7.1% for the prior year quarter. In accordance with GAAP, service revenue is limited to labor sales (excludes any revenue from installed parts and materials) and costs of service revenues includes the fully loaded service center payroll and related employee benefits and service center occupancy costs. The decrease in service revenue gross profit margin was primarily due to the growth of our Service & Tire Centers, which lowered margins by 647 and 565 basis points in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Excluding the impact of Service & Tire Centers, gross profit from service revenue decreased to 11.2% for the second quarter of 2012 from 13.1% for the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in gross profit, exclusive of Service & Tire Centers, was mostly due to increased payroll and related benefit costs combined with higher store occupancy costs (utilities and depreciation).

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 21.7% for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million, or 0.9%, to $114.3 million from $113.3 million in the prior year quarter. Higher media expense of $3.5 million, higher store payroll expense of $1.2 million and severance costs for a reduction in force at our Store Support Center of $0.7 million were partially offset by lower acquisition costs of $2.2 million, lower credit card transaction fees of $1.7 million and lower Store Support Center payroll expense of $0.7 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses further benefited from a $1.6 million reclassification of merger costs to merger termination fees, net.

In the second quarter of 2012, we terminated our proposed merger and recorded the settlement proceeds, net of merger related costs of $43.0 million in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.

Interest expense remained relatively flat at $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011.

Our income tax expense for the second quarter of 2012 was $20.3 million, or an effective rate of 38.1%, as compared to an expense of $2.2 million, or an effective rate of 13.5%, for the second quarter of 2011. The second quarter 2011 income tax expense includes the benefit of the release of $3.4 million (net of federal tax) of valuation allowance relating primarily to certain unitary state net operating loss carryforwards and credits. The annual rate depends on a number of factors, including the jurisdiction in which operating profit is earned and the timing and nature of discrete items.

As a result of the foregoing, we reported net earnings of $33.0 million in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to net earnings of $13.9 million in the prior year period. Our diluted earnings per share were $0.61 as compared to $0.26 in the prior year period.

Total revenue for the first half of 2012 increased by $14.1 million to $1,050.3 million from $1,036.1 million in the first half of 2011, while comparable store sales for the first half of 2012 decreased by $14.3 million, or 1.4%, as compared to the first half of 2011. The decrease in comparable store sales consisted of a decrease of 2.0% in comparable store merchandise revenue partially offset by an increase of 1.0% in comparable store service sales. Comparable store merchandise sales consisted of a decrease in customer counts, partially offset by an increase in the average transaction amount per customer. Comparable store service revenue was characterized by an increase in customer counts, partially offset by a decrease in the average transaction amount per customer. While our total

revenue figures were favorably impacted by the opening of the new stores, a new store is not added to our comparable store sales until it reaches its 13th month of operation. Non-comparable stores contributed an additional $28.5 million of total revenue in the first half of 2012 as compared to the prior year period.

Total gross profit decreased by $12.1 million, or 4.5%, to $258.3 million in the first half of 2012 from $270.3 million in the first half of 2011. Total gross profit margin decreased to 24.6% for the first half of 2012 from 26.1% for the first half of 2011. The decrease in total gross profit margin was primarily due to the shift in sales to lower margin tires and oil combined with decreased tire margin rates due to cost increases exceeding retail price increases (90 basis points) combined with higher occupancy and payroll and related expenses as a percent to total sales (80 basis points). The new Service & Tire Centers have a higher concentration of their sales in lower margin tires and have higher rent and payroll costs as a percent of total sales. While the new Service & Tire Centers have had a negative impact on total gross profit margin, these Service & Tire Centers positively contributed to total gross profit in both years.

Gross profit from merchandise sales decreased by $4.0 million, or 1.6%, to $246.8 million for the first half of 2012 from $250.8 million in the first half of 2011. Gross profit margin from merchandise sales decreased to 29.9% from 30.5% for the prior year period. The decrease in gross profit from merchandise sales was due to shift in sales mix to lower margin tires and oil, combined with a decline in tire margins due to cost increases exceeding retail price increases and higher warehousing costs partially offset by lower store occupancy costs (utilities and depreciation) as a percent of merchandise sales.

Gross profit from service revenue decreased by $8.0 million, or 41.3%, to $11.4 million for the first half of 2012 from $19.5 million in the first half of 2011. Gross profit margin from service revenue decreased to 5.1% for the first half of 2012 from 9.2% in the first half of 2011. In accordance with GAAP, service revenue is limited to labor sales (excludes any revenue from installed parts and materials) and costs of service revenues includes the fully loaded service center payroll and related employee benefits and service center occupancy costs. The decrease in service revenue gross profit margin was primarily due to the growth of our Service & Tire Centers, which lowered margins by 654 and 420 basis points in the first half of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Excluding the impact of Service & Tire Centers, gross profit from service revenue decreased to 11.6% for the first half of 2012 from 13.5% for the first half of 2011. The decrease in gross profit, exclusive of Service & Tire Centers, was mostly due to increased payroll and related benefit costs combined with higher store occupancy costs (utilities and depreciation).

Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues increased to 22.3% for the first half of 2012 as compared to 21.4% the prior year period. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $11.8 million, or 5.3%, compared to the first half of 2011 due to higher media expense of $7.0 million, higher store and Store Support Center payroll and related expenses of $6.4 million, severance costs for a reduction in force at our Store Support Center of $0.7 million, and higher legal and professional services costs of $1.0 million, partially offset by lower credit card fees of $2.9 million and lower acquisition related costs of $1.0 million.

Interest expense remained relatively flat at $12.9 million in the first half of 2012 and 2011.

Our income tax expense for the first half of 2012 was $21.1 million, or an effective rate of 38.2%, as compared to an expense of $10.2 million, or an effective rate of 27.9%, for the first half of 2011. The change was primarily due to the release of valuation allowances on state net operating loss carry forwards and credits in the first half of 2011. The annual rate is dependent on a number of factors, including the jurisdiction in which operating profit is earned and the timing and nature of discrete items.

As a result of the foregoing, we reported net earnings of $34.1 million for the first half of 2012 as compared to net earnings of $26.3 million in the prior year period. Our diluted earnings per share were $0.63 as compared to $0.49 in the prior year period.

INDUSTRY COMPARISON

We operate in the U.S. automotive aftermarket, which has two general lines of business: (1) the Service business, defined as Do-It-For-Me (service labor, installed merchandise and tires) and (2) the Retail business, defined as Do-It-Yourself (retail merchandise) and commercial. Generally, specialized automotive retailers focus on either the Retail or Service area of the business. We believe that operation in both the Retail and Service areas of the business positively differentiates us from most of our competitors. Although we manage our store performance at a store level in aggregation, we believe that the following presentation, which includes the reclassification of revenue from installed products from retail sales to service center revenue, shows an accurate comparison against competitors within the two sales arenas. We compete in the Retail area of the business through our retail sales floor and commercial sales business. Our Service Center business competes in the Service area of the industry.

CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY

Our cash requirements arise principally from (1) the purchase of inventory and capital expenditures related to existing and new stores, offices and distribution centers, (2) debt service and (3) contractual obligations. Cash flows realized through the sales of automotive services, tires, parts and accessories are our primary source of liquidity. Net cash provided by operating activities was $87.5 million in the first half of 2012, as compared to $51.2 million in the prior year period. The $36.2 million increase from the prior year period was due to increased net earnings (including on a pre-tax basis, $43.0 million of net, merger termination fees), net of non-cash adjustments of $22.3 million and a favorable change in operating assets and liabilities of $13.9 million. The change in operating assets and liabilities was primarily due to favorable changes in accrued expenses and other current assets of $20.4 million and other long-term liabilities of $2.3 million, offset by unfavorable changes in inventory, net of accounts payable of $8.7 million.

In both fiscal 2012 and 2011, the increased investment in inventory of $12.4 and $12.9 million, respectively, was funded entirely by the improvement in our trade vendor payment terms. Taking into consideration changes in our trade payable program liability (shown as cash flows from financing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows), cash generated from accounts payable was $33.3 million and $17.2 million for the first half of 2012 and 2011, respectively. The ratio of accounts payable, including our trade payable program, to inventory was 57.8% at July 28, 2012, 53.6% at January 28, 2012 and 50.0% at July 30, 2011, respectively. The $12.4 million increase in inventory from January 28, 2012 was primarily due to an expanded inventory assortment in certain hard part categories, seasonal purchases and increased investment in our new stores of $1.3 million.

The change in accrued expenses and other current assets was primarily due to a reduction in sales tax and employee payroll tax accruals of $8.9 million due to the timing of payments to taxing authorities and a reduction in the amount of payments for 401(k) employer match, supplemental executive retirement plan pension and management incentive compensation of $9.4 million in 2012 as compared to 2011. The change in other long-term liabilities was primarily due to a voluntary pension contribution of $3.0 million in the prior year.

Cash used in investing activities was $26.3 million in the first half of 2012 as compared to $78.9 million in the prior year period. Capital expenditures were $26.3 million and $30.6 million in the first half of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Capital expenditures for the first half of 2012, in addition to our regularly scheduled store and distribution center improvements and information technology enhancements, included the addition of eight new Service & Tire Centers and one new Supercenter. Capital expenditures for the first half of 2011 included the addition of four new Service & Tire Centers and one new Supercenter. During the first half of 2011, we acquired 99 Service & Tire Centers through three separate transactions, including 85 stores in Florida, Georgia and Alabama, seven stores in Houston and seven stores in the Seattle/Tacoma market for $42.8 million, net of cash acquired. During the first half of 2011 we invested $4.8 million in a restricted account as collateral for retained liabilities included within existing insurance programs in lieu of previously outstanding letters of credit.

Our targeted capital expenditures for fiscal 2012 are $60.0 million. Our fiscal year 2012 capital expenditures include the addition of approximately 40 new locations, the conversion of 15 Supercenters into Superhubs, and required expenditures for our existing stores, offices and distribution centers. These expenditures are expected to be funded by cash on hand and net cash generated from operating activities. Additional capacity, if needed, exists under our existing line of credit.

In the first half of 2012, cash provided by financing activities was $31.5 million, as compared to cash used in financing activities of $0.6 million in the prior year period, primarily due to increased net borrowings on our trade payable program of $25.4 million. The trade payable program is funded by various bank participants who have the ability, but not the obligation, to purchase, directly from our vendors, account receivables owed by Pep Boys. As of July 28, 2012 and January 28, 2012, we had an outstanding balance of $115.7 million and $85.2 million, respectively (classified as trade payable program liability on the consolidated balance sheet). In the first half of 2011, we paid $2.4 million in financing costs to amend and restate our revolving credit agreement to reduce its interest rate by 75 basis points and to extend its maturity to July 2016 and paid a cash dividend of $3.2 million.

We anticipate that cash on hand and cash generated by operating activities will exceed our expected cash requirements in fiscal year 2012. In addition, we expect to have excess availability under our existing revolving credit agreement during the entirety of fiscal year 2012. As of July 28, 2012, we had undrawn availability on our revolving credit facility of $175.1 million. As of July 28, 2012, we had $150.8 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand. Our current intention is to use our cash on hand together with proceeds from a new debt facility to retire our term loan and senior subordinated notes, both in advance of their respective 2013 and 2014 maturities. This contemplated refinancing will reduce our overall long-term debt by approximately $100.0 million, extend our maturities and reduce our overall interest expense, while maintaining flexibility for accelerated growth and/or returning capital to our shareholders.

During fiscal 2011, the Company began the process of terminating its defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”), which covered full-time employees hired on or before February 1, 1992. The termination of the Plan, which has been frozen since December 31, 1996, is expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2012. In order to terminate the Plan, in accordance with Internal Revenue Service and Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation requirements, the Company is required to fully fund the Plan on a termination basis and will commit to contribute the additional assets necessary to do so with cash on hand. The amount necessary to do so is not yet known, but is currently estimated to be between $13.0 and $18.0 million. Plan participants will not be adversely affected by the Plan termination, but rather will have their benefits either converted into a lump sum cash payment or an annuity contract placed with an insurance carrier.

Our working capital was $236.2 million and $166.6 million at July 28, 2012 and January 28, 2012, respectively. Our total debt, net of cash on hand, as a percentage of our total capitalization, was 17.2% and 29.6% at July 28, 2012 and January 28, 2012, respectively.

Contractual Obligations

For a discussion of our other contractual obligations, see a discussion of future commitments under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012. There have been no other significant developments with respect to our contractual obligations since January 28, 2012.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Table of Contents

is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before applying the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test. Entities also have the option to bypass the assessment of qualitative factors for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test, as was required prior to the issuance of this new guidance. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to customer incentives, product returns and warranty obligations, bad debts, inventories, income taxes, financing operations, restructuring costs, retirement benefits, share-based compensation, risk participation agreements, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a detailed discussion of significant accounting policies that may involve a higher degree of judgment or complexity, refer to “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained herein constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “guidance,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimates,” “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). We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary market risk exposure with regard to financial instruments is due to changes in interest rates. Pursuant to the terms of our Revolving Credit Agreement, changes in LIBOR or the Prime Rate could affect the rates at which we could borrow funds thereunder. At July 28, 2012, we had $0.2 million of borrowings under this facility. Additionally, we have a $147.0 million Senior Secured Term Loan that bears interest at three month LIBOR plus 2.0%.

We have an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $145.0 million, which is designated as a cash flow hedge on our Senior Secured Term Loan. We record the effective portion of the change in fair value through accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The fair value of the derivative was $9.5 million and $12.5 million payable at July 28, 2012 and January 28, 2012, respectively. Of the $3.0 million decrease in the liabilities during the twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 2012, $1.9 million net of tax was recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheet.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is party to various actions and claims arising in the normal course of business. The Company believes that amounts accrued for awards or assessments in connection with all such matters are adequate and that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position. However, there exists a reasonable possibility of loss in excess of the amounts accrued, the amount of which cannot currently be estimated. While the Company does not believe that the amount of such excess loss could be material to the Company’s financial position, any such loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period(s) during which the underlying matters are resolved.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

There have been no changes to the risks described in the Company’s previously filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 28, 2012, except that the Risk Factor entitled “Failure to complete the proposed Merger could adversely affect our business.” is no longer applicable.
