O’REILLY AUTOMOTIVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2022

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “O’Reilly”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes 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.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Principles of consolidation:

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.    

NOTE 2 – VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company invests in certain tax credit funds that promote renewable energy.  These investments generate a return primarily through the realization of federal tax credits and other tax benefits.  The Company accounts for the tax attributes of its renewable energy investments using the deferral method.  Under this method, realized investment tax credits and other tax benefits are recognized as a reduction of the renewable energy investments.

The Company has determined its investment in these tax credit funds were investments in variable interest entities (“VIEs”).  The Company analyzes any investments in VIEs at inception and again if certain triggering events are identified to determine if it is the primary beneficiary.  The Company considers a variety of factors in identifying the entity that holds the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance including, but not limited to, the ability to direct financing, leasing, construction and other operating decisions and activities.  As of June 30, 2022, the Company had invested in four unconsolidated tax credit fund entities that were considered to be VIEs and concluded it was not the primary beneficiary of any of the entities, as it did not have the power to control the activities that most significantly impact the entities, and has therefore accounted for these investments using the equity method.  The Company’s maximum exposure to losses associated with these VIEs is generally limited to its net investment, which was $23.6 million as of June 30, 2022, and was included in “Other assets, net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.    

NOTE 3 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company uses the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure the fair value of certain of its financial instruments.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).  The Company uses the income and market approaches to determine the fair value of its assets and liabilities.  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are set forth below:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company invests in various marketable securities with the intention of selling these securities to fulfill its future unsecured obligations under the Company’s nonqualified deferred compensation plan.  See Note 10 for further information concerning the Company’s benefit plans.

The Company’s marketable securities were accounted for as trading securities and the carrying amount of its marketable securities were included in “Other assets, net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022, and

7

December 31, 2021.  The Company recorded a decrease in fair value related to its marketable securities in the amount of $6.4 million and an increase in fair value related to its marketable securities in the amount of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were included in “Other income (expense)” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  The Company recorded a decrease in fair value related to its marketable securities in the amount of $9.2 million and an increase in fair value related to its marketable securities in the amount of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were included in “Other income (expense)” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  

The tables below identify the estimated fair value of the Company’s marketable securities, determined by reference to quoted market prices (Level 1), as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

Non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Certain long-lived non-financial assets and liabilities may be required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in certain circumstances, including when there is evidence of impairment.  These non-financial assets and liabilities may include assets acquired in a business combination or property and equipment that are determined to be impaired.  As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any non-financial assets or liabilities that had been measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition.

Fair value of financial instruments:

The carrying amounts of the Company’s senior notes and unsecured revolving credit facility borrowings are included in “Long-term debt” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.  

The table below identifies the estimated fair value of the Company’s senior notes, using the market approach.  The fair value as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, was determined by reference to quoted market prices of the same or similar instruments (Level 2) (in thousands):

4,669,833

$

4,501,833

$

3,826,978

$

4,135,629

The carrying amount of the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility approximates fair value (Level 2), as borrowings under the facility bear variable interest at current market rates.  See Note 5 for further information concerning the Company’s senior notes and unsecured revolving credit facility.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts receivable from suppliers and accounts payable.  Due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments, the Company believes that the carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair values.

NOTE 4 – LEASES

The Company leases certain office space, retail stores, distribution centers and equipment under long-term, non-cancelable operating leases.  The following table summarizes Total lease cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, which were primarily included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands):

The Company is party to a credit agreement dated June 15, 2021 (the “Credit Agreement”).  The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $1.8 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which is scheduled to mature in June of 2026.  The Credit Agreement includes a $200 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $75 million sub-limit for swing line borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.  As described in the Credit Agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company may, from time to time, subject to certain conditions, increase the aggregate commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility by up to $900 million, provided that the aggregate amount of the commitments does not exceed $2.7 billion at any time.

As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had outstanding letters of credit, primarily to support obligations related to workers’ compensation, general liability and other insurance policies, under the Credit Agreement in the amounts of $48.0 million and $84.0 million, respectively, reducing the aggregate availability under the Credit Agreement by those amounts.  Substantially all of these outstanding letters of credit have a one-year term from the date of issuance.  As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility.

9

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (other than swing line loans) bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either an Alternate Base Rate or an Adjusted LIBO Rate (both as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus an applicable margin.  The Credit Agreement includes customary provisions to provide for the eventual replacement of LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate.  Swing line loans made under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at an Alternate Base Rate plus the applicable margin for Alternate Base Rate loans.  In addition, the Company pays a facility fee on the aggregate amount of the commitments under the Credit Agreement in an amount equal to a percentage of such commitments.  The interest rate margins and facility fee are based upon the better of the ratings assigned to the Company’s debt by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, subject to limited exceptions.  As of June 30, 2022, based upon the Company’s current credit ratings, its margin for Alternate Base Rate loans was 0.000%, its margin for Eurodollar Revolving Loans was 0.900% and its facility fee was 0.100%.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including limitations on subsidiary indebtedness, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.50:1.00 and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.50:1.00.  The consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio includes a calculation of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and non-cash share-based compensation expense to fixed charges.  Fixed charges include interest expense, capitalized interest and rent expense.  The consolidated leverage ratio includes a calculation of adjusted debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and non-cash share-based compensation expense.  Adjusted debt includes outstanding debt, outstanding stand-by letters of credit and similar instruments, five-times rent expense and excludes any premium or discount recorded in conjunction with the issuance of long-term debt.  In the event that the Company should default on any covenant (subject to customary grace periods, cure rights and materiality thresholds) contained in the Credit Agreement, certain actions may be taken, including, but not limited to, possible termination of commitments, immediate payment of outstanding principal amounts plus accrued interest and other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and litigation from lenders.  As of June 30, 2022, the Company remained in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

In addition to the letters of credit issued under the Credit Agreement described above, as of June 30, 2022, the Company had additional outstanding letters of credit, primarily to support obligations under workers’ compensation, general liability and other insurance policies, in the amount of $60.9 million.  Substantially all of these letters of credit have a one-year term from the date of issuance and were not issued under the Company’s Credit Agreement or another committed facility.

Senior notes:

On June 15, 2022, the Company issued $850 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 4.700% Senior Notes due 2032 (“4.700% Senior Notes due 2032”) at a price to the public of 99.684% of their face value with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association (f/k/a U.S. Bank National Association) (“U.S. Bank”) as trustee.  Interest on the 4.700% Senior Notes due 2032 is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2022, and is computed on the basis of a 360–day year.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company has issued and outstanding a cumulative $4.7 billion aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes, which are due between 2022 and 2032, with UMB Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bank as trustees.  Interest on the senior notes, ranging from 1.750% to 4.700%, is payable semi-annually and is computed on the basis of a 360-day year.  The $300 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 3.800% Senior Notes due 2022 and the $300 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 3.850% Senior Notes due 2023 were included in “Long-term debt” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2022, as the Company has the ability and intent to refinance these notes on a long-term basis.  None of the Company’s subsidiaries is a guarantor under the senior notes.  Each of the senior notes is subject to certain customary covenants, with which the Company complied as of June 30, 2022.      

NOTE 6 – WARRANTIES

The Company provides warranties on certain merchandise it sells with warranty periods ranging from 30 days to limited lifetime warranties. The risk of loss arising from warranty claims is typically the obligation of the Company’s suppliers. Certain suppliers provide upfront allowances to the Company in lieu of accepting the obligation for warranty claims.  For this merchandise, when sold, the Company bears the risk of loss associated with the cost of warranty claims.  Differences between supplier allowances received by the Company, in lieu of warranty obligations and estimated warranty expense, are recorded as an adjustment to cost of sales.  Estimated warranty costs, which are recorded as obligations at the time of sale, are based on the historical failure rate of each individual product line.  The Company’s historical experience has been that failure rates are relatively consistent over time and that the ultimate cost of warranty claims to the Company has been driven by volume of units sold as opposed to fluctuations in failure rates or the variation of the cost of individual claims.

The Company’s product warranty liabilities are included in “Other current liabilities” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021; the following table identifies the changes in the Company’s aggregate product warranty liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (in thousands):

NOTE 7 – SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In January of 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program. Under the program, the Company may, from time to time, repurchase shares of its common stock, solely through open market purchases effected through a broker dealer at prevailing market prices, based on a variety of factors such as price, corporate trading policy requirements and overall market conditions.  The Company’s Board of Directors may increase or otherwise modify, renew, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time, without prior notice.  As announced on November 17, 2021, and May 16, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors each time approved a resolution to increase the authorization amount under the share repurchase program by an additional $1.5 billion, resulting in a cumulative authorization amount of $20.3 billion.  The additional authorizations are effective for three years, beginning on their respective announcement date.

The following table identifies shares of the Company’s common stock that have been repurchased as part of the Company’s publicly announced share repurchase program for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 10 – SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the grants, awards or shares at the time of the grant, award or issuance.  Share-based compensation includes stock option awards, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights issued under the Company’s incentive plans and stock issued through the Company’s employee stock purchase plan.

Stock options:

The Company’s incentive plans provide for the granting of stock options for the purchase of common stock of the Company to certain key employees of the Company.  Employee stock options are granted at an exercise price that is equal to the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.  Employee stock options granted under the plans expire after 10 years and typically vest 25% per year, over four years.  The Company records compensation expense for the grant date fair value of the option awards evenly over the vesting period or minimum required service period.

The table below identifies stock option activity under these plans during the six months ended June 30, 2022 (in thousands, except per share data):

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of assumptions, including the risk free rate, expected life, expected volatility and expected dividend yield.

12

Risk-free interest rate – The United States Treasury rates in effect at the time the options are granted for the options’ expected life.
Expected life – Represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical experience to estimate the expected life of options granted.
Expected volatility – Measure of the amount, by which the Company’s stock price is expected to fluctuate, based on a historical trend.
Expected dividend yield – The Company has not paid, nor does it have plans in the foreseeable future to pay, any dividends.

The table below identifies the weighted-average assumptions used for grants awarded during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $216.87, compared to $144.30 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.  The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards at June 30, 2022, was $41.9 million, and the weighted-average period of time over which this cost will be recognized is 2.7 years.

Other share-based compensation plans:

The Company sponsors other share-based compensation plans:  an employee stock purchase plan and incentive plans that provide for the awarding of shares of restricted stock to certain key employees and directors.  The Company’s employee stock purchase plan (the “ESPP”) permits eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the fair market value.  The fair value of shares issued under the ESPP is based on the average of the high and low market prices of the Company’s common stock during the offering periods, and compensation expense is recognized based on the discount between the fair value and the employee purchase price for the shares sold to employees.  Restricted stock awarded under the incentive plans to certain key employees and directors vests after one-year or evenly over a three-year period and is held in escrow until such vesting has occurred.  The fair value of shares awarded under the incentive plans is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the award, and compensation expense is recorded evenly over the vesting period or the minimum required service period.

Profit sharing and savings plan:

The Company sponsors a contributory profit sharing and savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) that covers substantially all employees who are at least 21 years of age and have completed one year of service.  The Company makes matching contributions equal to 100% of the first 2% of each employee’s wages that are contributed and 25% of the next 4% of each employee’s wages that are contributed.  An employee generally must be employed on December 31 to receive that year’s Company matching contribution, with the matching contribution funded annually at the beginning of the subsequent year following the year in which the matching contribution was earned.  The Company may also make additional discretionary profit sharing contributions to the plan on an annual basis as determined by the Board of Directors.  The Company did not make any discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2022 or 2021.  The Company expensed matching contributions under the 401(k) Plan in the amount of $9.2 million and $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were primarily included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  The Company expensed matching contributions under the 401(k) Plan in the amount of $17.8 million and $15.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were primarily included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Nonqualified deferred compensation plan:

The Company sponsors a nonqualified deferred compensation plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for highly compensated employees whose contributions to the 401(k) Plan are limited due to the application of the annual limitations under the Internal Revenue Code. The Deferred Compensation Plan provides these employees with the opportunity to defer the full 6% of matched compensation, including salary and incentive based compensation that was precluded under the Company’s 401(k) Plan, which is then matched by the Company using the same formula as the 401(k) Plan. An employee generally must be employed on December 31 to receive that year’s Company matching contribution, with the matching contribution funded annually at the beginning of the subsequent year following the year in which the matching contribution was earned. In the event of bankruptcy, the assets of this plan are available to satisfy the claims of general creditors. The Company has an unsecured obligation to pay, in the future, the value of the deferred compensation and Company match, adjusted to reflect the performance, whether positive or negative, of selected investment measurement options chosen by each participant during the deferral period. The liability for compensation deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan was $47.5 million and $52.5 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, which was included in “Other liabilities” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expensed matching contributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan in the amount of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  The Company expensed matching contributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan in the amount of $0.1 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, which were included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  

Stock appreciation rights:

The Company’s incentive plans provide for the granting of stock appreciation rights, which expire after 10 years and vest 25% per year, over four years, and are settled in cash.  As of June 30, 2022, there were 12,398 stock appreciation rights outstanding, and during the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were 2,587 stock appreciation rights granted.  The liability for compensation to be paid for redeemed stock appreciation rights was $1.1 million and $1.3 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, which were included in “Other liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Company recorded compensation benefit for stock appreciation rights in the amount of $0.1 million and compensation expense for stock appreciation rights in the amount of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  The Company recorded compensation benefit for stock appreciation rights in the amount of $0.1 million and compensation expense for stock appreciation rights in the amount of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

These securities represent underlying stock options not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because the inclusion of such equity awards would have been antidilutive.

See Note 7 for information concerning the Company’s subsequent share repurchases.  

NOTE 12 – LEGAL MATTERS

The Company is currently involved in litigation incidental to the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business.  Based on existing facts and historical patterns, the Company accrues for litigation losses in instances where an adverse outcome is probable and the Company is able to reasonably estimate the probable loss in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 450-20.  The Company also accrues for an estimate of legal costs to be incurred for litigation matters.  Although the Company cannot ascertain the amount of liability that it may incur from legal matters, it does not currently believe that, in the aggregate, these matters, taking into account applicable insurance and accruals, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarter or annual period.  

NOTE 13 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

No recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements have occurred since those discussed in the Company’s

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to the Company.

We are a specialty retailer of automotive aftermarket parts, tools, supplies, equipment and accessories in the United States and Mexico.  We are one of the largest U.S. automotive aftermarket specialty retailers, selling our products to both DIY customers and professional service providers – our “dual market strategy.”  Our stores carry an extensive product line consisting of new and remanufactured automotive hard parts, maintenance items, accessories, a complete line of auto body paint and related materials, automotive tools and professional service provider service equipment.  

Our extensive product line includes an assortment of products that are differentiated by quality and price for most of the product lines we offer.  For many of our product offerings, this quality differentiation reflects “good,” “better,” and “best” alternatives.  Our sales and total gross profit dollars are, generally, highest for the “best” quality category of products.  Consumers’ willingness to select products at a higher point on the value spectrum is a driver of enhanced sales and profitability in our industry.  We have ongoing initiatives focused on marketing and training to educate customers on the advantages of ongoing vehicle maintenance, as well as “purchasing up” on the value spectrum.

Our stores also offer enhanced services and programs to our customers, including used oil, oil filter and battery recycling; battery, wiper and bulb replacement; battery diagnostic testing; electrical and module testing; check engine light code extraction; loaner tool program; drum and rotor resurfacing; custom hydraulic hoses; professional paint shop mixing and related materials; and machine shops.  As of June 30, 2022, we operated 5,873 stores in 47 U.S. states and 27 stores in Mexico.

We are influenced by a number of general macroeconomic factors that impact both our industry and consumers, including, but not limited to, inflation, including rising consumer staples, fuel and energy costs, unemployment trends, interest rates and other economic factors.  Future changes, such as continued broad-based inflation and further rapid increases in fuel costs that exceed wage growth, may negatively impact our consumers’ level of disposable income, and we cannot predict the degree these changes, or other future changes, may have on our business or industry.

We believe the key drivers of current and future long-term demand for the products sold within the automotive aftermarket include the number of U.S. miles driven, number of U.S. registered vehicles, new light vehicle registrations and average vehicle age.

Number of Miles Driven 

The number of total miles driven in the U.S. influences the demand for repair and maintenance products sold within the automotive aftermarket.  In total, vehicles in the U.S. are driven approximately three trillion miles per year, resulting in ongoing wear and tear and a corresponding continued demand for the repair and maintenance products necessary to keep these vehicles in operation.  According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, the number of total miles driven in the U.S. decreased 13.2% in 2020, as a result of responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, including work from home arrangements and reduced travel.  However for 2021, miles driven improved and increased 11.2%, and year-to-date through May of 2022, miles driven have continued to improve and increased 3.8%.  Total miles driven can also be impacted by macroeconomic factors, including rapid increases in fuel cost, but we are unable to predict the degree of impact these factors may have on miles driven in the future.  

Size and Age of the Vehicle Fleet

The total number of vehicles on the road and the average age of the vehicle population heavily influence the demand for products sold within the automotive aftermarket industry.  As reported by The Auto Care Association, the total number of registered vehicles increased 12.1% from 2011 to 2021, bringing the number of light vehicles on the road to 279 million by the end of 2021.  In 2021, the rate of new vehicle sales was pressured due to supply chain constraints experienced by manufacturers, and the seasonally adjusted annual rate of light vehicle sales in the U.S. (“SAAR”) was below the historical average at approximately 12.4 million.  The impact of supply chain constraints is expected to continue to limit new vehicle production capacity in 2022, making it difficult to determine the ultimate forecast of new vehicle sales; however, the current 2022 outlook for the SAAR is estimated to be approximately 13.0 million, which again remains below the historical average.  From 2011 to 2021, vehicle scrappage rates have remained relatively stable, ranging from 4.1% to 5.7% annually.  As a result, over the past decade, the average age of the U.S. vehicle population has increased, growing 11.0%, from 10.9 years in 2011 to 12.1 years in 2021.  While the annual changes to the vehicle population resulting from new vehicle sales and the fluctuation in vehicle scrappage rates in any given year represent a small percentage of the total light vehicle population and have a muted impact on the total number and average age of vehicles on the road over the short term, we believe our business benefits from the current environment of a new vehicle scarcity and higher than typical used vehicle prices, as consumers are more willing to continue to invest in their current vehicle.  

We believe the increase in average vehicle age over the long-term can be attributed to better engineered and manufactured vehicles, which can be reliably driven at higher mileages due to better quality power trains, interiors and exteriors, and the consumer’s willingness to invest in maintaining these higher-mileage, better built vehicles.  As the average age of vehicles on the road increases, a larger percentage of miles are being driven by vehicles that are outside of a manufacturer warranty.  These out-of-warranty, older vehicles generate strong demand for automotive aftermarket products as they go through more routine maintenance cycles, have more frequent mechanical failures and generally require more maintenance than newer vehicles.  We believe consumers will continue to invest in these reliable, higher-quality, higher-mileage vehicles and these investments, along with an increasing total light vehicle fleet, will support continued demand for automotive aftermarket products.

Inflationary cost pressures impact our business; however, historically we have been successful, in many cases, in reducing the effects of merchandise cost increases, principally by taking advantage of supplier incentive programs, economies of scale resulting from increased volume of purchases and selective forward buying.  To the extent our acquisition costs increase due to base commodity price increases or other input cost increases affecting the entire industry, we have typically been able to pass along these cost increases through higher selling prices for the affected products.  As a result, we do not believe inflation has had a material adverse effect on our operations.

To some extent, our business is seasonal, primarily as a result of the impact of weather conditions on customer buying patterns.  While we have historically realized operating profits in each quarter of the year, our store sales and profits have historically been higher in the second and third quarters (April through September) than in the first and fourth quarters (October through March) of the year.

We remain confident in our ability to gain market share in our existing markets and grow our business in new markets by focusing on our dual market strategy and the core O’Reilly values of hard work and excellent customer service.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales:

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased $205 million or 6% to $3.67 billion from $3.47 billion for the same period one year ago.  Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased $410 million or 6% to $6.97 billion from $6.56 billion for the same period one year ago.  Comparable store sales for stores open at least one year increased 4.3% and 9.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  Comparable store sales for stores open at least one year increased 4.5% and 16.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  Comparable store sales are calculated based on the change in sales for U.S. stores open at least one year and exclude sales of specialty machinery, sales to independent parts stores and sales to Team Members.  Online sales for ship-to-home orders and pickup in-store orders for U.S. stores open at least one year are included in the comparable store sales calculation.

We believe our increased sales are the result of store growth, the high levels of customer service provided by our well-trained and technically proficient Team Members, superior inventory availability, including same day and over-night access to inventory from our regional distribution centers and hub store network, enhanced services and programs offered in our stores, a broader selection of product offerings in most stores with a dynamic catalog system to identify and source parts, a targeted promotional and advertising effort through a variety of media and localized promotional events, continued improvement in the merchandising and store layouts of our stores, compensation programs for all store Team Members that provide incentives for performance and our continued focus on serving both DIY and professional service provider customers.  In addition, despite the global supply chain disruptions that created inventory availability challenges for our industry, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we believe the strength of our distribution network and our strong supplier relationships allowed us to maintain better in-stock inventory positions than the broader market and contributed to our sales growth.  

Our comparable store sales increase for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were driven by increases in average ticket values for both professional service provider and DIY customers and positive transaction counts from professional service provider customers, partially offset by negative transaction counts from DIY customers.  Average ticket values benefited from increases in average selling prices, on a same-SKU basis, as compared to the same period in 2021, driven by increases in acquisition costs of inventory, which were passed on in selling prices.  Average ticket values also continue to be positively impacted by the increasing complexity and cost of replacement parts necessary to maintain the current population of better-engineered and more technically advanced vehicles.  These better-engineered, more technically advanced vehicles require less frequent repairs, as the component parts are more durable and last for longer periods of time.  The resulting decrease in repair frequency creates pressure on customer transaction counts; however, when repairs are needed, the cost of replacement parts is, on average, greater, which is a benefit to average ticket values.  The decreases in DIY customer transaction counts were driven by a challenging comparison to the strong transaction counts in the prior year, which were aided by government stimulus, and broad-based inflationary pressures on the consumer.

We opened 62 and 114 net, new U.S. stores during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, compared to opening 50 and 116 net, new U.S. stores during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.  In addition, we opened two new stores in Mexico during the six months ended June 30, 2022.  As of June 30, 2022, we operated 5,873 stores in 47 U.S. states and 27 stores in

18

Mexico compared to 5,710 stores in 47 U.S. states and 22 stores in Mexico at June 30, 2021.  We anticipate total new store growth to be 175 to 185 net, new store openings in 2022.  

Gross profit:

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased 3% to $1.88 billion (or 51.3% of sales) from $1.83 billion (or 52.7% of sales) for the same period one year ago.  Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased 4% to $3.59 billion (or 51.6% of sales) from $3.47 billion (or 52.9% of sales) for the same period one year ago.  The increases in gross profit dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were primarily the result of new store sales and the increase in comparable store sales at existing stores.  The decreases in gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were primarily due to the impact from the rollout of our professional pricing initiative, which was a strategic investment aimed at ensuring we are more competitively priced on the professional side of our business, and a greater percentage of our total sales mix generated from professional service provider customers, which carry a lower gross margin than DIY sales.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses:

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased 5% to $1.09 billion (or 29.6% of sales) from $1.03 billion (or 29.7% of sales) for the same period one year ago.  SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased 7% to $2.12 billion (or 30.5% of sales) from $1.98 billion (or 30.2% of sales) for the same period one year ago.  The increases in total SG&A dollars for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were the result of additional Team Members, facilities and vehicles to support our increased sales and store count.  The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to lower levels of accrued incentive and other compensation in the current period, as compared to the same period one year ago.  The increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was primarily due to increased payroll, as a result of inflationary pressures on wages, benefits and fuel costs, as compared to the same period one year ago, when store payroll hours were constrained due to expense control measures in response to the pandemic and the difficult labor environment.    

Operating income:

As a result of the impacts discussed above, operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased to $799 million (or 21.8% of sales) from $796 million (or 23.0% of sales) for the same period one year ago.  As a result of the impacts discussed above, operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased 1% to $1.47 billion (or 21.1% of sales) from $1.49 billion (or 22.7% of sales) for the same period one year ago.  

Other income and expense:

Total other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased 20% to $41 million (or 1.1% of sales) from $34 million (or 1.0% of sales) for the same period one year ago.  Total other expense for the six ended June 30, 2022, increased 11% to $78 million (or 1.1% of sales) from $70 million (or 1.1% of sales) for the same period one year ago.  The increases in total other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were the result of a decrease in the value of our trading securities, partially offset by decreased interest expense on lower average outstanding borrowings.    

Income taxes:

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased 3% to $181 million (23.8% effective tax rate) from $176 million (23.1% effective tax rate) for the same period one year ago.  Our provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased to $332 million (23.9% effective tax rate) from $330 million (23.3% effective tax rate) for the same period one year ago.  The increases in our provision for income taxes and our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were the result of lower excess tax benefits from share-based compensation.  

Net income:

As a result of the impacts discussed above, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2022, decreased 1% to $577 million (or 15.7% of sales) from $585 million (or 16.9% of sales) for the same period one year ago.  As a result of the impacts discussed above, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, decreased 3% to $1.06 billion (or 15.2% of sales) from $1.09 billion (or 16.6% of sales) for the same period one year ago.  

Earnings per share:

Our diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2022, increased 5% to $8.78 on 66 million shares from $8.33 on 70 million shares for the same period one year ago.  Our diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2022, increased 4% to $15.94 on 66 million shares from $15.39 on 71 million for the same period one year ago.  

19

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our long-term business strategy requires capital to open new stores, fund strategic acquisitions, expand distribution infrastructure, operate and maintain our existing stores and may include the opportunistic repurchase of shares of our common stock through our Board-approved share repurchase program.  Our material cash requirements necessary to maintain the current operations of our long-term business strategy include, but are not limited to, inventory purchases, human capital obligations, including payroll and benefits, contractual obligations, including debt and interest obligations, capital expenditures, payment of income taxes and other operational priorities.  We expect to fund our short- and long-term cash and capital requirements with our primary sources of liquidity, which include funds generated from the normal course of our business operations and borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.  However, there can be no assurance that we will continue to generate cash flows or maintain liquidity at or above recent levels, as we are unable to predict decreased demand for our products, changes in customer buying patterns or the impact of the uncertainty and disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Additionally, these factors could also impact our ability to meet the debt covenants of our credit agreement and, therefore, negatively impact the funds available under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations, to which we are committed, since those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Operating activities:

The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was primarily due to a larger decrease in accrued payroll and benefits and a smaller decrease in net inventory investment.  The larger decrease in accrued payroll and benefits was primarily attributable to payroll payments and higher accrued incentive compensation payments in 2022 versus the same period in 2021.  The smaller decrease in net inventory investment was driven by our initiatives to increase store level inventory in 2022.

Investing activities:

The small increase in net cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was the result of an increase in capital expenditures.  The increase in capital expenditures was primarily due to the timing of store and distribution expansion projects in the current period, as compared to the same period in the prior year.    

Financing activities:

The decrease in net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021, was attributable to net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt in the current period and the redemption of $300 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes in the same period in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in repurchases of our common stock in the current period, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Debt instruments:

See Note 5 “Financing” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information concerning the Company’s credit agreement, unsecured revolving credit facility, outstanding letters of credit and unsecured senior notes.

20

Debt covenants:

The indentures governing our senior notes contain covenants that limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to, among other things, create certain liens on assets to secure certain debt and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions, and limit our ability to merge or consolidate with another company or transfer all or substantially all of our property, in each case as set forth in the indentures.  These covenants are, however, subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.  As of June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the covenants applicable to our senior notes.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, including limitations on indebtedness, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.50:1.00 and a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 3.50:1.00.  The consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio includes a calculation of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and non-cash share-based compensation expense to fixed charges.  Fixed charges include interest expense, capitalized interest and rent expense.  The consolidated leverage ratio includes a calculation of adjusted debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent and non-cash share-based compensation expense.  Adjusted debt includes outstanding debt, outstanding stand-by letters of credit and similar instruments, five-times rent expense and excludes any premium or discount recorded in conjunction with the issuance of long-term debt.  In the event that we should default on any covenant contained within the Credit Agreement, certain actions may be taken, including, but not limited to, possible termination of commitments, immediate payment of outstanding principal amounts plus accrued interest and other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and litigation from our lenders.

We had a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of 6.89 times and 6.58 times as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and a consolidated leverage ratio of 1.84 times and 1.66 times as of June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, remaining in compliance with all covenants related to the borrowing arrangements.

Free cash flow, the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and the consolidated leverage ratio discussed and presented in the tables above are not derived in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  We do not, nor do we suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information.  We believe that the presentation of our free cash flow, consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio and consolidated leverage ratio provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors and reflects the required covenants under the

22

Credit Agreement.  We include these items in judging our performance and believe this non-GAAP information is useful to investors as well.  Material limitations of these non-GAAP measures are that such measures do not reflect actual GAAP amounts.  We compensate for such limitations by presenting, in the tables above, a reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Share repurchase program:

See Note 7 “Share Repurchase Program” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information on our share repurchase program.  

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the application of certain estimates and judgments by management.  Management bases its assumptions, estimates, and adjustments on historical experience, current trends and other factors believed to be relevant at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared. There have been no material changes in the critical accounting estimates since those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 13 “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information about recent accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest rate risk:

We are subject to interest rate risk to the extent we borrow against our unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with variable interest rates based on either an Alternative Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate, as defined in the credit agreement governing the Revolving Credit Facility.  As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Cash equivalents risk:

We invest certain of our excess cash balances in short-term, highly-liquid instruments with maturities of 90 days or less.  We do not expect any material losses from our invested cash balances and we believe that our interest rate exposure is minimal.  As of June 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $253.9 million.

Foreign currency risk:

Foreign currency exposures arising from transactions include firm commitments and anticipated transactions denominated in a currency other than our entities’ functional currencies.  To minimize our risk, we generally enter into transactions denominated in the respective functional currencies. Our foreign currency exposure arises from Mexican peso-denominated revenues and profits and their translation into U.S. dollars.

We view our investments in Mexican subsidiaries as long-term.  The net asset exposure in the Mexican subsidiaries translated into U.S. dollars using the period-end exchange rates was $172.7 million at June 30, 2022.  The period-end exchange rate of the Mexican peso, relative to the U.S. dollar, strengthened by approximately 2.0% from December 31, 2021.  The potential loss in value of our net assets in the Mexican subsidiaries resulting from a 10% change in quoted foreign currency exchange rates at June 30, 2022, would be approximately $15.7 million.  Any changes in our net assets in the Mexican subsidiaries relating to foreign currency exchange rates would be reflected in the financial statements through the foreign currency translation component of accumulated other comprehensive income, unless the Mexican subsidiaries are sold or otherwise disposed.  A 10% change in average exchange rates would not have had a material impact on our results of operations.

Our market risks have not materially changed since those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the management of the Company, under the supervision and with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) and as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the Exchange Act”).  Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to

23

provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

24

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is currently involved in litigation incidental to the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business.  Based on existing facts and historical patterns, the Company accrues for litigation losses in instances where an adverse outcome is probable and the Company is able to reasonably estimate the probable loss in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 450-20.  The Company also accrues for an estimate of legal costs to be incurred for litigation matters.  Although the Company cannot ascertain the amount of liability that it may incur from legal matters, it does not currently believe that, in the aggregate, these matters, taking into account applicable insurance and accruals, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarter or annual period.  

Item 1A. Risk Factors

As of June 30, 2022, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
