Mr. Henslee continued, “2014 is off to a strong start, with the opening of our 25th distribution center in central Florida. As we previously discussed, this new DC will allow us to better support our growing store base in central Florida and continue growing into southern Florida. We also continue to believe in the strength of the long-term demand drivers for our business, and we are committed to the consistent execution of our proven dual market strategy. Based on our confidence in our industry fundamentals and business model, we are establishing our comparable store sales growth guidance range of 4% to 6% for the first quarter and 3% to 5% for the full year of 2014, as we look forward to another successful and profitable year.”
Share Repurchase Program
During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 2.0 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $124.11, for a total investment of $246 million. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company repurchased 8.5 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $109.38, for a total investment of $933 million. Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter and through the date of this release, the Company did not repurchase a material number of shares of its common stock. The Company has repurchased a total of 40.6 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program since the inception of the program in January of 2011 and through the date of this release, at an average price of $82.61, for a total aggregate investment of $3.35 billion.
Today, the Company also announced that its Board of Directors approved a resolution to increase the authorization amount under its share repurchase program by an additional $500 million, raising the aggregate authorization under the program to $4.0 billion. The additional $500 million authorization is effective for a three-year period, beginning on February 5, 2014. Stock repurchases under the program may be made from time to time, as the Company deems appropriate, solely through open market repurchases effected through a broker dealer at prevailing market prices, based on a variety of factors such as price, corporate requirements and overall market conditions. There can be no assurance as to the number of shares the Company will purchase, if any. The share repurchase program may be increased or otherwise modified, renewed, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, without prior notice. As of the date of this release, the Company had approximately $645 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorizations.
4th Quarter and Full-Year Comparable Store Sales Results
Comparable store sales are calculated based on the change in sales for stores open at least one year and exclude sales of specialty machinery, sales to independent parts stores, sales to Team Members and sales from the acquired VIP stores due to the significant change in the business model and lack of historical data. Comparable store sales increased 5.4% for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, versus 4.2% for the same period one year ago. Comparable store sales increased 4.3% for the year ended December 31, 2013, versus 3.8% for the same period one year ago.

Non-GAAP Information
This release contains certain financial information not derived in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These items include rent-adjusted debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and rent (“EBITDAR”) and free cash flow.

The Company believes this non-GAAP information is useful to investors as well. The Company has included a reconciliation of this additional information to the most comparable GAAP measure in the selected financial information below.
