TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – General

Nature of Business

Founded in 1938, Tractor Supply Company (the “Company,” “Tractor Supply,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States (“U.S.”). The Company is focused on supplying the needs of recreational farmers, ranchers, and all those who enjoy living the rural lifestyle (which we refer to as the “Out Here” lifestyle). The Company's stores are located primarily in towns outlying major metropolitan markets and in rural communities. The Company also owns and operates Petsense, LLC (“Petsense by Tractor Supply”), a small-box pet specialty supply retailer focused on meeting the needs of pet owners, primarily in small and mid-sized communities, and offering a variety of pet products and services. At March 29, 2025, the Company operated a total of 2,517 retail stores in 49 states (2,311 Tractor Supply retail stores and 206 Petsense by Tractor Supply retail stores) and also offered an expanded assortment of products through the Tractor Supply mobile application and online at TractorSupply.com and Petsense.com.

On December 30, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Allivet, an online pet pharmacy. Pursuant to the agreement governing the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in Allivet for a purchase price of $135.0 million. The acquisition was financed with cash-on-hand from the balance sheet.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2024. The results of operations for our interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.

Stock Split

On December 5, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a five-for-one forward split (the “Stock Split”) of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.008 per share. On December 20, 2024, stockholders of record at the close of business on December 16, 2024, received four additional shares of common stock for each share owned by such stockholder. The Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed on December 19, 2024 effected the Stock Split and also proportionately increased the number of authorized common shares from 400.0 million to 2.00 billion. The par value of each share was not changed. All share and per-share information herein has been retroactively restated to reflect the Stock Split.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The ASU is intended to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The ASU is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied on either a prospective basis to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the update, or on a retrospective basis to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial disclosures.

TSC Logo_New.jpg6

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The ASU requires that an entity disclose specific categories in the effective tax rate reconciliation as well as provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Further, the ASU requires certain disclosures of state versus federal income tax expense and taxes paid. The amendments in this ASU are required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis although retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its financial disclosures.

Supplier Finance Program

The Company has an agreement with a third-party financial institution that allows certain participating suppliers the ability to finance payment obligations from the Company. The third-party financial institution has separate arrangements with the Company’s suppliers and provides them with the option to request early payment for invoices confirmed by the Company. The Company does not determine the terms or conditions of the arrangement between the third-party and its suppliers and receives no compensation from the third-party financial institution. The Company’s obligation to its suppliers, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers’ decisions to finance amounts under the arrangement. The Company’s outstanding payment obligations under the supplier finance program, which are included in accounts payable on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, were $43.5 million, $34.8 million, and $42.6 million at March 29, 2025, December 28, 2024, and March 30, 2024, respectively.

Note 2 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

  • Level 1 - defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

  • Level 2 - defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

  • Level 3 - defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term credit card receivables, trade payables, and debt instruments. Due to their short-term nature, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term credit card receivables, and trade payables approximate current fair value at each balance sheet date.

As described in further detail in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company had $2.10 billion, $1.85 billion and $1.75 billion in borrowings under its debt facilities at March 29, 2025, December 28, 2024 and March 30, 2024, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s $150 million 3.70% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “3.70% Senior Notes”) and the borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) were determined based on market interest rates (Level 2 inputs). The carrying value of borrowings in the 3.70% Senior Notes and the Revolving Credit Facility approximate fair value for each period reported.

The fair value of the Company’s $650 million 1.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “1.75% Senior Notes”) and $750 million 5.250% Senior Notes due 2033 (the “5.25% Senior Notes”) are determined based on quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs. The carrying value and the fair value of the 1.75% Senior Notes and the 5.25% Senior Notes, net of discounts, were as follows (in thousands):

TSC Logo_New.jpg7

5.25% Senior Notes$742,101$754,223$741,857$746,573$741,124$754,838

The Company's interest rate swap is carried at fair value, which is determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows using forward rate curves, which is considered a Level 2 input. In accordance with hedge accounting, the gains and losses on interest rate swaps that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Other Comprehensive Income, net of related income taxes, and reclassified into earnings in the same income statement line and period in which the hedged transactions affect earnings. The interest rate swap agreement matured in the first quarter of fiscal 2025. The fair value of the interest rate swap, excluding accrued interest, was as follows (in thousands):

Interest rate swap assets (Level 2)$—$1,600$8,102

Note 3 – Share-Based Compensation

Share-based compensation includes stock options, restricted stock units, performance-based restricted share units, and transactions under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). Share-based compensation expense is recognized based on grant date fair value of all stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted share units. Share-based compensation expense is also recognized for the value of the 15% discount on shares purchased by employees as a part of the ESPP. The discount under the ESPP represents the difference between the market value on the first day of the purchase period or the market value on the purchase date, whichever is lower, and the employee’s purchase price.

There were no significant modifications to the Company’s share-based compensation plans during the fiscal three months ended March 29, 2025.

Share-based compensation expense was $13.2 million and $14.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Stock Options

The following table summarizes information concerning stock option grants during the first three months of fiscal 2025:

As of March 29, 2025, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was approximately $14.8 million with a remaining weighted average expense recognition period of 2.2 years.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Share Units

(a) Assumes 100% target level achievement of the relative performance targets.

(b) Shares adjusted for performance-based restricted share unit awards settled during the first three months of fiscal 2025 based on actual achievement of performance targets.

In the first three months of fiscal 2025, the Company granted performance-based restricted share unit awards that are subject to the achievement of specified performance goals. The performance metrics for the units are growth in net sales and growth in earnings per diluted share and also include a relative total shareholder return modifier. The number of performance-based restricted share units presented in the foregoing table represent the shares that can be achieved at the performance metric target value. The actual number of shares that will be issued under the performance-based restricted share unit awards, which may be higher or lower than the target, will be determined by the level of achievement of the performance goals and the relative total shareholder return modifier. If the performance targets are achieved, the units will be issued based on the achievement level, inclusive of the relative total shareholder return modifier, and the grant date fair value and will cliff vest in full on the third anniversary of the date of the grant, subject to continued employment.

As of March 29, 2025, total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock units and non-vested performance-based restricted share units was approximately $113.0 million with a remaining weighted average expense recognition period of 2.4 years.

Note 4 - Acquisition of Allivet

On December 30, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Allivet, an online pet pharmacy. Pursuant to the agreement governing the Transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in Allivet for a purchase price of $135.0 million, which excludes adjustments for working capital, acquired cash, and other transaction related payments. The acquisition was financed with cash-on-hand from the balance sheet.

Preliminary Allocation of the Purchase Price

The Company has applied the acquisition method of accounting for the Allivet acquisition, in accordance with ASC 805 “Business Combinations,” with respect to the identifiable assets and liabilities of Allivet which have been measured at estimated fair value as of the date of the business combination.

The aggregate purchase price noted above was allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the acquisition date, primarily using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. Level 2 and Level 3 inputs are described in further detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These fair value estimates represent management’s best estimate of future cash flows (including sales, cost of sales, income taxes, etc.), discount rates, competitive trends, market comparables, and other factors. Inputs used were generally determined from historical data supplemented by current and anticipated market conditions and growth rates.

Although the determination of the preliminary fair values is substantially complete, certain fair value estimates are based on preliminary information and are subject to change during the measurement period, which ends once the Company has determined that it has obtained all necessary information that existed as of the acquisition date or has determined that such information is unavailable and cannot extend beyond one year from the acquisition date. At March 29, 2025, the fair values that

TSC Logo_New.jpg9

are based on preliminary information relate primarily to intangible assets, property and equipment, leases, inventory, and certain working capital adjustments. The amount of consideration transferred that exceeds the fair value of the identifiable assets, net of liabilities, is recorded as goodwill, which is indicative of the expected synergies the acquisition of Allivet will bring to the Company’s portfolio offering for companion animal, equestrian, and livestock customers, and the additional growth opportunities expected to open up as a result of acquiring Allivet.

The purchase consideration and preliminary estimated fair value of Allivet’s net assets acquired on December 30, 2024 are shown below (in thousands):

The results of operations of Allivet have been included in the Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of the acquisition.

Note 5 – Net Income Per Share

The Company presents both basic and diluted net income per share on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive shares are computed using the treasury stock method for share-based awards. Performance-based restricted share units are included in diluted shares only if the related performance conditions are considered satisfied as of the end of the reporting period. Net income per share is calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Fiscal Three Months Ended

Diluted net income per share:$179,369534,099$0.34$198,167542,638$0.37

(a) All share and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the five-for-one Stock Split effective December 20, 2024.

Anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the above calculations totaled approximately 0.4 million shares for the fiscal three months ended March 29, 2025 and approximately 1.6 million shares for fiscal three months ended March 30, 2024.

(a) Also referred to herein as the “Note Purchase Facility,” referring to the Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement dated as of August 14, 2017 by and among the Company, PGIM, Inc. and the noteholders party thereto, as amended through November 2, 2022, under which the notes were purchased.

Borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility (the “2022 Senior Credit Facility”) bore interest either at the bank’s base rate (7.500% at March 29, 2025) plus an additional amount ranging from 0.000% to 0.250% (0.000% at March 29, 2025) or at adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (4.324% at March 29, 2025) plus an additional amount ranging from 0.750% to 1.250% (1.000% at March 29, 2025), adjusted based on the Company’s public credit ratings. The Company was also required to pay, quarterly in arrears, a commitment fee related to unused capacity on the Revolving Credit Facility ranging from 0.080% to 0.150% per annum (0.100% at March 29, 2025), adjusted based on the Company’s public credit ratings.

The Company previously entered into an interest rate swap agreement in order to hedge its exposure to variable rate interest payments associated with its debt. The interest rate swap agreement matured in the first quarter of fiscal 2025.

Covenants and Default Provisions of the Debt Agreements

As of March 29, 2025, the 2022 Senior Credit Facility and the Note Purchase Facility (collectively, the “Debt Agreements”) required quarterly compliance with respect to two material covenants: a fixed charge coverage ratio and a leverage ratio. Both ratios are calculated on a trailing twelve-month basis at the end of each fiscal quarter. The fixed charge coverage ratio compares earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, and rent expense (“consolidated EBITDAR”) to the sum of interest paid and rental expense (excluding any straight-line rent adjustments). The fixed charge coverage ratio was required to be greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The leverage ratio compares total funded debt to consolidated EBITDAR. The leverage ratio was required to be less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. The Debt Agreements also contain certain other restrictions regarding additional subsidiary indebtedness, business operations, subsidiary guarantees, mergers, consolidations and sales of assets, transactions with subsidiaries or affiliates, and liens. As of March 29, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.

The Debt Agreements contain customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, material judgments, certain ERISA events, and invalidity of loan documents. Upon certain changes of control, amounts outstanding under the Debt Agreements could become due and payable. In addition, under the Note Purchase Facility, upon an event of default or change of control, a whole payment may become due and payable.

The Note Purchase Facility also requires that, in the event the Company amends its 2022 Senior Credit Facility, or any subsequent credit facility of $100 million or greater, such that it contains covenant or default provisions that are not provided in the Note Purchase Facility or that are similar to those contained in the Note Purchase Facility but which contain percentages, amounts, formulas, or grace periods that are more restrictive than those set forth in the Note Purchase Facility or are otherwise more beneficial to the lenders thereunder, the Note Purchase Facility shall be automatically amended to include such additional or amended covenants and/or default provisions.

Note 8 – Treasury Stock

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized common stock repurchases under a share repurchase program which was announced in February 2007. The aggregate total authorized amount of the program, which was increased by $1.00 billion on February 12, 2025, is currently $7.50 billion, exclusive of any fees, commissions, or other expenses related to such repurchases. The share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. The repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability, and other market conditions. Repurchased shares are accounted for at cost and will be held in treasury for future issuance. The program may be limited, temporarily paused, or terminated at any time without prior notice. As of March 29, 2025, the Company had remaining authorization under the share repurchase program of $1.39 billion, exclusive of any fees, commissions, or other expenses.

The following table provides the number of shares repurchased, average price paid per share, and total cost of share repurchases during the fiscal three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, respectively (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Fiscal Three Months Ended
March 29, 2025March 30, 2024
Total number of shares repurchased (a)1,7272,481
Average price paid per share (a)$54.39$47.31
Total cost of share repurchases (b)$93,827$118,543

(a) All share and per share information has been adjusted to reflect the five-for-one Stock Split effective December 20, 2024.

(b) Effective January 1, 2023, the Company’s share repurchases are subject to a 1% excise tax as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Excise taxes incurred on share repurchases represent direct costs of the repurchase and are recorded as a part of the cost basis of the shares within treasury stock. The cost of shares repurchased may differ from the repurchases of common stock amounts in the consolidated statements of cash flows due to unsettled share repurchases at the end of a period and excise taxes incurred on share repurchases.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 21.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 compared to 21.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in the effective income tax rate in the first three months of fiscal 2025 compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2024 was driven primarily by a decrease in stock compensation activity.

Note 10 – Commitments and Contingencies

Letters of Credit

At March 29, 2025, the Company had $76.8 million in outstanding letters of credit.

Litigation

The Company is involved in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that, based upon information currently available, any estimated loss related to such matters has been adequately provided for in accrued liabilities to the extent probable and reasonably estimable. Accordingly, the Company currently expects these matters will be resolved without material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, litigation and other legal matters involve an element of uncertainty. Future developments in such matters, including adverse decisions or settlements or resulting required changes to the Company's business operations, could affect our consolidated operating results when resolved in future periods or could result in liability or other amounts material to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
