Springfield, MO, April 23, 2014 – O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. (the “Company” or “O’Reilly”) (Nasdaq: ORLY), a leading retailer in the automotive aftermarket industry, today announced record revenues and earnings for its first quarter ended March 31, 2014.
1st Quarter Financial Results
Sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, increased $143 million, or 9%, to $1.73 billion from $1.59 billion for the same period one year ago. Gross profit for the first quarter increased to $878 million (or 50.8% of sales) from $799 million (or 50.4% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 10%. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the first quarter increased to $591 million (or 34.2% of sales) from $548 million (or 34.5% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 8%. Operating income for the first quarter increased to $287 million (or 16.6% of sales) from $251 million (or 15.8% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 14%.
Net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, increased $20 million, or 13%, to $174 million (or 10.1% of sales) from $154 million (or 9.7% of sales) for the same period one year ago. Diluted earnings per common share for the first quarter increased 18% to $1.61 on 108 million shares versus $1.36 for the same period one year ago on 113 million shares.
Commenting on the Company’s first quarter results, President and CEO, Greg Henslee, stated, “We are proud to report a very strong and profitable start to 2014, highlighted by a 6.3% increase in comparable store sales and an 18% increase in diluted earnings per share to $1.61, which marks our 21st consecutive quarter of 15% or greater diluted earnings per share growth. Our comparable store sales results for the first quarter exceeded our expectations, and the top end of our guidance range, driven by Team O’Reilly’s relentless focus on delivering the highest level of customer service in the industry. Once again, our record-breaking performance is the direct result of the hard work and commitment of our dedicated Team Members, and I would like to thank each of you for the vital role you play in our ongoing success.”
Mr. Henslee continued, “During the first quarter, we opened 50 net, new stores across 23 states with many of those stores opening in Florida where our newest distribution center in Lakeland began providing daily inventory replenishments to our stores in those markets in early January. Our Naperville, Illinois, distribution center is currently under construction and remains on schedule to open and begin servicing stores by early fall, and the planned opening of our new Devens, Massachusetts, distribution center before the end of the year is also progressing as planned. These three new distribution centers augment our already robust distribution network and reflect O’Reilly’s continued commitment to providing our customers industry leading parts availability.”
Mr. Henslee added, “We have seen the strong sales volumes we experienced in the first quarter continue into the beginning of April; however, we face our most difficult quarterly comparable store sales comparison in the second quarter of 2014 as
we anniversary 2013’s strong second quarter comparable stores increase of 6.5% and face a headwind from the timing of the Easter holiday, which falls in the second quarter this year versus the first quarter last year. Based on these comparisons, we are guiding to a comparable stores sales increase range of 2% to 4% for the second quarter and reiterating our full-year 2014 comparable store sales guidance of 3% to 5%.”
Share Repurchase Program
During the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company repurchased 0.1 million shares of its common stock, at an average price per share of $148.18, for a total investment of $22 million. Subsequent to the end of the first quarter and through the date of this release, the Company repurchased an additional 0.2 million shares of its common stock, at an average price per share of $144.52, for a total investment of $34 million. The Company has repurchased a total of 41.0 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 $83.20, for a total aggregate investment of $3.41 billion. As of the date of this release, the Company had approximately $590 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorizations.
1st Quarter 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 and sales to Team Members. Comparable store sales increased 6.3% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, versus 0.6% for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. The comparable store sales increase for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013, adjusted for the impact of one additional day during the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, as a result of Leap Day, was 1.9%.
