TRACTOR SUPPLY COMPANY General
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 26, 2020 (the "2020 10-K"). This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q also contains forward-looking statements and information. The forward-looking statements included herein are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"). All statements, other than statements of historical facts, which address activities, events, or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including sales and earnings growth, estimated results of operations in future periods, the declaration and payment of dividends, the timing and amount of share repurchases, future capital expenditures (including their amount and nature), business strategy, expansion and growth of our business operations, and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may be affected by certain risks and uncertainties, any one, or a combination of which, could materially affect the results of our operations. To take advantage of the safe harbor provided by the Act, we are identifying certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, whether oral or written. As with any business, many aspects of our operations are subject to influences outside our control. These factors include, without limitation, national, regional, and local economic conditions affecting consumer spending, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the efficacy and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, the timing and acceptance of new products, the timing and mix of goods sold, purchase price volatility (including inflationary and deflationary pressures), the ability to increase sales at existing stores, the ability to manage growth and identify suitable locations, the ability to complete acquisitions on expected terms, failure of an acquisition to produce anticipated results, the ability to successfully manage expenses (including increased expenses as a result of operating as an essential retailer during the COVID-19 pandemic) and execute our key gross margin enhancing initiatives, the availability of favorable credit sources, capital market conditions in general, the ability to open new stores in the time, manner and number currently contemplated, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ability to open distribution centers in the anticipated timeframe and within budget, the impact of new stores on our business, competition, including that from online competitors, weather conditions, the seasonal nature of our business, effective merchandising initiatives and marketing emphasis, the ability to retain vendors, reliance on foreign suppliers, the ability to attract, train, and retain qualified employees, product liability and other claims, changes in federal, state, or local regulations, the effects that "shelter in place" and similar federal, state, and local regulations and protocols could have on our business, including our supply chain and employees, the effectiveness of the Company's responses to COVID-19, including our efforts to make a vaccine available to our employees, and customer response with respect to those actions, the refusal by our employees and the public generally to be vaccinated against COVID-19, the imposition of tariffs on imported products or the disallowance of tax deductions on imported products, potential judgments, fines, legal fees, and other costs, breach of information systems or theft of employee or customer data, ongoing and potential future legal or regulatory proceedings, management of our information systems, failure to develop and implement new technologies, the failure of customer-facing technology systems, business disruption including from the implementation of supply chain technologies, effective tax rate changes and results of examination by taxing authorities, the ability to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, and changes in accounting standards, assumptions, and estimates. We discuss in greater detail risk factors relating to our business in Part I, Item 1A of our 2020 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Forward -looking statements are based on our knowledge of our business and the environment in which we operate, but because of the factors listed above or other factors, actual results could differ materially from those reflected by any forward-looking statements. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on our business and operations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Information Regarding COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic
The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all facets of our business. This includes the impact on our team members, customers, suppliers, vendors, business partners, and supply chain networks.
The health and safety of our team members and customers are the primary concerns
of our management team. We have taken and continue to take numerous actions to
promote health and safety, including, encouraging vaccination efforts, providing
personal protective equipment to our team members, requiring the use of masks in
our facilities, maintaining enhanced services for cleaning and sanitation,
continuing to provide additional functionality to support contactless shopping
experiences, adding
Page 17--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index
services for cleaning and sanitation in our stores and distribution centers, hiring additional team members to assist in promoting social distancing and cleaning actions in our stores, and continuing to offer remote work plans at our store support center. As further described in the results of operations, our net sales have significantly increased due to unprecedented customer demand across all major product categories, channels, and geographic regions. However, the net incremental costs of doing business during this pandemic have increased as a result of the aforementioned actions we have taken, and continue to take, to support and promote the safety and well-being of our team members and customers, and we believe many of these incremental costs will continue after the pandemic is over. There are numerous uncertainties surrounding the pandemic and its impact on the economy and our business, as further described in the Risk Factors section under Part I Item 1A of our 2020 10-K, which make it difficult to predict the impact on our business, financial position, or results of operations in fiscal 2021 and beyond. While our stores, distribution centers, and e-commerce operations are open and plan to remain open, we cannot predict the uncertainties, or the corresponding impacts on our business, at this time.
Seasonality and Weather
Our business is seasonal. Historically, our sales and profits are the highest in the second and fourth fiscal quarters due to the sale of seasonal products. We usually experience our highest inventory and accounts payable balances during our first fiscal quarter for purchases of seasonal products to support the higher sales volume of the spring selling season, and again during our third fiscal quarter to support the higher sales volume of the cold-weather selling season. We believe that our business can be more accurately assessed by focusing on the performance of the halves, not the quarters, due to the fact that different weather patterns from year-to-year can shift the timing of sales and profits between quarters, particularly between the first and second fiscal quarters and the third and fourth fiscal quarters. Historically, weather conditions, including unseasonably warm weather in the fall and winter months and unseasonably cool weather in the spring and summer months, have unfavorably affected the timing and volume of our sales and results of operations. In addition, extreme weather conditions, including snow and ice storms, flood and wind damage, hurricanes, tornadoes, extreme rain, and droughts have impacted operating results both negatively and positively, depending on the severity and length of these conditions. Our strategy is to manage product flow and adjust merchandise assortments and depth of inventory to capitalize on seasonal demand trends.
Furthermore, we are not able to predict at this time the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the seasonality of our business in the future.
Comparable Store Metrics
Comparable store metrics are a key performance indicator used in the retail industry and by the Company to measure the performance of the underlying business. Our comparable store metrics are calculated on an annual basis using sales generated from all stores open at least one year and all online sales and exclude certain adjustments to net sales. Stores closed during either of the years being compared are removed from our comparable store metrics calculations. Stores relocated during either of the years being compared are not removed from our comparable store metrics calculations. If the effect of relocated stores on our comparable store metrics calculations became material, we would remove relocated stores from the calculations.
Results of Operations
Fiscal Three Months (First Quarter) Ended
Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 42.5% to$2.79 billion from$1.96 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Comparable store sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 were$2.71 billion , a 38.6% increase as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020. In the first quarter of fiscal 2020, net sales increased 7.5% and comparable store sales increased 4.3%. The comparable store sales results for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 included an increase in comparable average transaction count of 21.0% and an increase in comparable average transaction value of 17.6%, each as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Our sales performance continued to benefit from growth in new customer acquisition and the re-engagement of lapsed customers as well as a continuation of shifting consumer behavior trends from the COVID-19 pandemic as customers focused on the care of their homes, land, and animals. Additionally, consumer demand in the quarter benefited from favorable weather conditions across much of the country as well as government stimulus. These factors all led to a significant increase in comparable store sales across all major product categories, driven by strong demand for everyday merchandise, including Page 18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index
consumable, usable and edible products and robust growth for summer seasonal categories. All geographic regions of the Company had positive comparable store sales growth of at least 30%. In addition, the Company's e-commerce sales experienced triple-digit percentage growth for the fourth consecutive quarter. In addition to comparable store sales growth for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, sales from stores open less than one year were$82.4 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2021, which represented 4.2 percentage points of the 42.5% increase over first quarter fiscal 2020 net sales. For the first quarter of fiscal 2020, sales from stores open less than one year were$60.2 million , which represented 3.3 percentage points of the 7.5% increase over first quarter fiscal 2019 net sales.

Gross profit increased 48.8% to $983.8 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2021 from $661.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. As a percent of
net sales, gross margin in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 148 basis
points to 35.2% from 33.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in
gross margin was primarily attributable to a lower depth and frequency of sales
promotions and less clearance activity and favorable product mix. These factors
were partially offset by higher transportation costs as a percent of net sales.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, including depreciation
and amortization, increased 37.3% to $753.2 million for the first quarter of
fiscal 2021 from $548.7 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. As a
percent of net sales, SG&A expenses improved 103 basis points to 27.0% for the
first quarter of fiscal 2021 from 28.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
The improvement in SG&A as a percent of net sales was primarily attributable to
leverage in occupancy and other costs from the increase in comparable store
sales. Certain first quarter costs as a percent of net sales were higher than
the prior year, driven by incremental costs from incentive compensation and
COVID-19 costs of approximately $28 million including investments in pay and
benefits and other health and safety related expenses.

Operating income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 104.9% to
The effective income tax rate was 18.8% in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to 22.1% in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The improvement in the effective income tax rate was primarily related to a discrete incremental tax benefit associated with share-based compensation compared to the first quarter of 2020. The Company expects the full fiscal year 2021 effective tax rate to be in a range between 22.1% and 22.4%. As a result of the foregoing factors, net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 increased 116.5% to$181.4 million , or$1.55 per diluted share, as compared to net income of$83.8 million , or$0.71 per diluted share, for the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we repurchased approximately 1.6
million shares of the Company's common stock at a total cost of
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In addition to normal operating expenses, and expenses associated with COVID-19 response, our primary ongoing cash requirements are for new store expansion, existing store remodeling and improvements, store relocations, distribution facility capacity and improvements, information technology, inventory purchases, repayment of existing borrowings under our debt facilities, share repurchases, cash dividends, and selective acquisitions as opportunities arise. Our primary ongoing sources of liquidity are existing cash balances, cash provided from operations, remaining funds available under our debt facilities, operating and finance leases, and normal trade credit. Our inventory and accounts payable levels typically build in the first and third fiscal quarters to support the higher sales volume of the spring and cold-weather selling seasons, respectively. The Company believes that its existing cash balances, expected cash flow from future operations, funds available under its debt facilities, operating and finance leases, and normal trade credit will be sufficient to fund its operations, including increased expenses associated with COVID-19, and its capital expenditure needs, including new store openings, existing store remodeling and improvements, store relocations, distribution facility capacity and improvements, and information technology improvements, through the end of fiscal 2021. Working Capital AtMarch 27, 2021 , the Company had working capital of$1.40 billion , which decreased$110.0 million fromDecember 26, 2020 , and increased$418.8 million fromMarch 28, 2020 .

In comparison to
•Cash and cash equivalents decreased due principally to share repurchases, capital expenditures to support our strategic growth, and cash dividends paid to stockholders. These decreases in cash and cash equivalents were partially offset by net cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2021. •The increase in inventories resulted primarily from an increase in average inventory per store due to normal seasonal patterns as well as the purchase of additional inventory to support new store growth and the strong sales volume trends. •The increase in accounts payable was strongly correlated to the significant increase in inventory during the first quarter of fiscal 2021.
In comparison to
•The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily driven by a significant year-over-year increase in net cash provided by operating activities as well as an increase in borrowings, net of repayments, under our debt facilities. These increases in cash and cash equivalents were partially offset by share repurchases, capital expenditures to support our strategic growth, and cash dividends paid to stockholders. •The increase in inventories resulted primarily from the purchase of additional inventory to support new store growth as average inventory per store did not fluctuate significantly year-over-year. •The increase in accounts payable resulted primarily from the purchase of additional inventory to support new store growth and increased sales volumes during the first quarter of fiscal 2021. However, the inventory balance did not increase at the same rate as accounts payable due to the significant increase in sales and inventory turns in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2020, which resulted in a year-over-year increase in the amount of inventory purchases that remain in accounts payable at quarter end. •The increase in other accrued expenses was driven primarily by Company growth year-over-year as well as the timing of payments and accruals.

Operating Activities
Operating activities provided net cash of$177.1 million and$83.9 million in the first three months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. The$93.2 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2021 compared to the first three months of fiscal 2020 is due to changes in the following operating activities (in millions): Fiscal Three Months Ended March 27, March 28, 2021 2020 Variance Net income$ 181.4 $ 83.8 $ 97.6 Depreciation and amortization 60.1 51.4 8.7 Share-based compensation expense 12.3 6.9 5.4 Deferred income taxes 20.2 1.6 18.6 Inventories and accounts payable (95.6) (58.2) (37.4) Prepaid expenses and other current assets (12.6) (12.0) (0.6) Accrued expenses 3.7 (21.0) 24.7 Income taxes 20.3 18.8 1.5 Other, net (12.7) 12.6 (25.3) Net cash provided by operating activities$ 177.1 $
83.9
The$93.2 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities in the first three months of fiscal 2021 compared with the first three months of fiscal 2020 resulted from a year-over-year increase in our net income as well as the net impact of changes in our operating assets and liabilities, principally due to Company growth year-over-year as well as the timing of payments and accruals.
Investing Activities
Investing activities used net cash of$100.5 million and$29.3 million in the first three months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, respectively. The$71.2 million increase in net cash used in investing activities primarily reflects an increase in capital expenditures in the first three months of fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020.
Capital expenditures for the first three months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 were as follows (in millions):
Fiscal Three Months Ended
March 27, March 28,
2021 2020
Existing stores $ 48.0 $ 6.9
Information technology 30.9 9.0

Distribution center capacity and improvements 8.3 0.3
Corporate and other 1.5 1.5
Total capital expenditures $ 100.7 $ 29.6
The increase in spending for existing stores in the first three months of fiscal
2021 as compared to the first three months of fiscal 2020 principally reflects
our strategic initiatives related to store remodels, including space
productivity and side lot improvements. Spending in the first three months of
both fiscal 2021 and 2020 also includes routine refresh activity as well as
security enhancements.
The increase in spending for information technology represents continued support
of our omni-channel initiatives, as well as improvements in security and
compliance, enhancements to our customer relationship management program, an
upgrade to our loyalty program, and other strategic initiatives.
In the first three months of fiscal 2021, the Company opened 21 new Tractor
Supply stores compared to 20 new Tractor Supply stores during the first three
months of fiscal 2020. The Company also opened two new Petsense stores during
the first three months of fiscal 2021 and no Petsense stores during the first
three months of fiscal 2020. We expect to open approximately 80
Page 22--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index
newTractor Supply stores and approximately 10 newPetsense stores during fiscal 2021, but the timing of new store openings in some areas may be delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including local and state orders. The increase in spending for distribution center capacity and improvements in the first three months of fiscal 2021 as compared to the first three months of fiscal 2020 is related to a new distribution center inNavarre, Ohio which is expected to be approximately 900,000 square feet and is currently anticipated to be complete by the end of fiscal 2022. Our projected capital expenditures for fiscal 2021 are currently estimated to be in a range of approximately$450 million to$550 million . The capital expenditures include our new store growth plans for approximately 80 newTractor Supply stores and 10 newPetsense stores as well as the construction of our new distribution center inNavarre, Ohio . We also plan to support our strategic growth initiatives related to space productivity and side lot improvements in certain existing stores as well as continued improvements in technology and infrastructure at our existing stores, and ongoing investments to enhance our digital and omni-channel capabilities to better serve our customers.
Financing Activities
Financing activities used net cash of$268.4 million in the first three months of fiscal 2021 compared to providing net cash of$322.6 million in the first three months of fiscal 2020. The$591.0 million change in net cash used by financing activities in the first three months of fiscal 2021 compared to the first three months of fiscal 2020 is due to changes in the following (in millions): Fiscal Three Months Ended March 27, March 28, 2021 2020 Variance Net borrowings and repayments under debt facilities $ -$ 622.5 $ (622.5) Repurchase of common stock (253.4) (263.2) 9.8 Net proceeds from issuance of common stock 58.7 10.6 48.1 Cash dividends paid to stockholders (60.6) (40.8) (19.8) Other, net (13.1)

Net cash (used in)/provided by financing activities
The$591.0 million change in net cash used by financing activities in the first three months of fiscal 2021 compared with the first three months of fiscal 2020 is due to principally to a decrease in net borrowings under debt facilities during the respective periods, partially offset by an increase in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to the exercise of stock awards. Net borrowings under debt facilities in the first three months of fiscal 2020 included the addition of the$200 million March 2020 Term Loan and the$350 million April 2020 Term Loan as described in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, each of which was repaid in full in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and is no longer in effect.
Dividends
During the first three months of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, the Company's Board of Directors declared the following cash dividends:
Dividend Amount
Date Declared Per Share of Common Stock Record Date Date Paid
January 27, 2021 $ 0.52 February 22, 2021 March 9, 2021
February 5, 2020 $ 0.35 February 24, 2020 March 10, 2020
It is the present intention of the Company's Board of Directors to continue to
pay a quarterly cash dividend; however, the declaration and payment of future
dividends will be determined by the Company's Board of Directors in its sole
discretion and will depend upon the earnings, financial condition, and capital
needs of the Company, along with any other factors that the Company's Board of
Directors deem relevant.

On
Share Repurchase Program
The Company's Board of Directors has authorized common stock repurchases under a share repurchase program which was announced inFebruary 2007 . The authorization amount of the program, which has been increased from time to time, is currently authorized for up to$4.5 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 (as it was fromMarch 12, 2020 untilNovember 5, 2020 in order to strengthen the Company's liquidity and preserve cash while navigating the COVID-19 pandemic), or terminated at any time without prior notice. As ofMarch 27, 2021 , the Company had remaining authorization under the share repurchase program of$890.5 million , exclusive of any fees, commissions, or other expenses.
