#### Management Commentary
"2022 was a record-breaking year for us, marking our third consecutive year of double-digit revenue growth. Since 2019, we have more than doubled our revenues and returned the company to profitability by leveraging our positive unit economics. I'm also excited to announce we've built up a robust balance sheet which reinforces our confidence that we can continue to self-fund our future growth without reliance on outside capital," said David Meniane, CEO of CarParts.com.

"For 2023 and beyond, we continue to put our customers and team members at the center of our strategy and feel prepared to tackle the future with intention, focus, and discipline as we gain market share. We are in a strong position to thrive and continue delivering profitable growth amid whatever changes the market brings

us. We believe that doing this will benefit our shareholders in the years to come and grow the intrinsic value of our company."

**Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Results**

Net sales in fiscal year 2022 were $661.6 million up 14% from $582.4 million in fiscal year 2021. For the first eight weeks of fiscal year 2023, we produced high single digit year-over-year revenue growth combined with sequential gross margin expansion and continue to balance growth with profitability and free cash flow generation.

Gross profit increased 17% to $230.9 million in fiscal year 2022 compared to $197.3 million in fiscal year 2021. Gross margin increased 100 basis points to 34.9% in fiscal year 2022 compared to 33.9% in fiscal year 2021. The increase in gross margin was primarily driven by favorable freight costs in 2022.

Total operating expenses in fiscal year 2022 were $230.2 million compared to $206.4 million in fiscal year 2021, mainly due to an increase in sales and investments in the business.

Net loss in fiscal year 2022 was ($1.0) million compared to a net loss of ($10.3) million in fiscal year 2021, both predominantly driven by non-cash charges.

Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal year 2022 was $26.1 million compared to $16.8 million in the fiscal year 2021.

On December 31, 2022, the Company had a cash balance of $18.8 million, no revolver debt and no outstanding trade letters of credit ("LCs"), compared to no revolver debt, no outstanding trade LCs and a $18.1 million cash balance at prior fiscal year-end January 1, 2022.

**Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results**

Net sales in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $154.5 million, up 12% from the year-ago quarter.

Gross profit in the fourth quarter increased 9% to $51.6 million compared to $47.4 million in the year-ago quarter, with gross margin decreasing 90 basis points to 33.4%, driven by seasonal freight charges which were higher and started earlier than the prior year.

Total operating expenses in the fourth quarter were $57.1 million compared to $52.0 million in the year-ago quarter, mainly due to an increase in sales and investments in the business.

Net loss in the fourth quarter was ($6.2) million compared to a net loss of ($5.0) million in the year-ago quarter, both predominantly driven by non-cash charges.

Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter was $2.1 million compared to $2.6 million in the year-ago quarter.

#### Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Regulation G, and other provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, define and prescribe the conditions for use of certain non-GAAP financial information. We provide "Adjusted EBITDA," which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net loss before (a) interest expense, net; (b) income tax provision; (c) depreciation and amortization expense; (d) amortization of intangible assets; and (e) share-based compensation expense. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss is provided below.

The Company believes that this non-GAAP financial measure provides important supplemental information to management and investors. This non-GAAP financial measure reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company's business and results of operations.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as one measure of the Company's operating performance because it assists in comparing the Company's operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of stock compensation expense as well as other items that we do not believe are representative of our ongoing operating performance. Internally, this non-GAAP measure is also used by management for planning purposes, including the preparation of internal budgets; for allocating resources to enhance financial performance; and for evaluating the effectiveness of operational strategies. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to evaluate the ongoing operations of companies in our industry.

This non-GAAP financial measure is used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from the Company's non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are all unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.

These statements are forward looking statements for the purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Words such as "anticipates," "could," "expects," "intends," "plans," "potential," "believes," "predicts," "projects," "seeks," "estimates," "may," "will," "would," "will likely continue" and variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.

*Important factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, competitive pressures, our dependence on search engines to attract customers, demand for the Company's products, the online market and channel mix for aftermarket auto parts, the economy in general, increases in commodity and component pricing that would increase the Company's product costs, the operating restrictions in its credit agreement, the weather and any other factors discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the Risk Factors contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available at www.carparts.com/investor and the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. You are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements in this release and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.
