Gross profit margin = Gross profit ÷ Revenue
= $4,523,500K ÷ $11,284,200K
= 40.09%

Advance Auto Parts Inc's gross profit margin has shown a decreasing trend over the past five years, from 43.83% in 2019 to 40.09% in 2023. This indicates that the company's cost of goods sold relative to its revenue has been increasing, resulting in a lower percentage of revenue retained as gross profit. The highest gross profit margin was observed in 2021 at 44.82%, followed by 44.59% in 2020 and 44.26% in 2022. The decline in gross profit margin may warrant further investigation into the company's cost management strategies and pricing decisions to ensure sustained profitability.
