NOTE 4 – EXIT ACTIVITIES

The Company maintains reserves for closed stores and other properties that are no longer utilized in current operations, as well as reserves for employee separation liabilities. Employee separation liabilities represent costs for anticipated payments, including payments required under various pre-existing employment arrangements with acquired CSK employees, which existed at the time of the acquisition, related to the planned involuntary termination of employees performing overlapping or duplicative functions. The Company completed all restructuring activities related to these employee separation liabilities in the second quarter ofduring 2011, and the reserve had no remaining balance as of JuneSeptember 30, 2011.

The Company accrues for closed property operating lease liabilities using a credit-adjusted discount rate to calculate the present value of the remaining non-cancelable lease payments, contractual occupancy costs and lease termination fees after the closing date, net of estimated sublease income. The closed property lease liabilities are expected to be paid over the remaining lease terms, which currently extend through April 30, 2023. The Company estimates sublease income and future cash flows based on the Company’s experience and knowledge of the market in which the closed property is located, the Company’s previous efforts to dispose of similar assets and existing economic conditions. Adjustments to closed property reserves are made to reflect changes in estimated sublease income or actual contracted exit costs, which vary from original estimates. Adjustmentsestimates, and are made for material changes in estimates in the period in which the changes become known.

Revisions to estimates in closure reserves for stores and administrative office and distribution facilities include changes in the estimates of sublease agreements, changes in assumptions of various store and office closure activities, and changes in assumed leasing arrangements and actual exit costs since the acquisitioninception of CSK.the exit activities. Revisions to estimates for employee separation liabilities included changes in assumptions surrounding the timing required to consolidate certain duplicative administration functions since the inception of the exit activities.

NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Interest rate risk management:management:

The Company entered into various interest rate swap transaction agreementscontracts with various counterparties to mitigate cash flow risk associated with floating interest rates on outstanding borrowings under its ABL Credit Facility (see Note 3). The swap transactionscontracts were designated as cash flow hedges with interest payments designed to offset the interest payments for borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility that corresponded with the notional amounts of the swaps. The fair values of the Company’s outstanding hedges were recorded as a liability in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2010. The effective portion of the change in fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedges was recorded as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and any ineffectiveness was recognized in earnings in the period of ineffectiveness. AllOn September 16, 2010, one of the swap contracts was terminated at the Company’s request and was deemed to be ineffective as of the termination date. The Company recognized $0.1 million in “Other income (expense)” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as a result of the hedge ineffectiveness. All remaining interest rate swap agreementscontracts were terminated at the Company’s request on January 14, 2011, concurrent with the retirement of the ABL Credit Facility and the issuance of its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021, as discussed in Note 3. As a result of this termination, the Company recognized a charge of $4.2 million, which was included as a component of “Other income (expense)” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, the Company did not hold any instruments that qualified as cash flow hedge derivatives.

NOTE 6 – 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 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets.

 

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts was based on the discounted net present value of the swaps using third party quotes (Level 2). Changes in fair market value were recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes resulting from the termination of the interest rate swap contracts were recorded in “Other income (expense)” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. All of the interest rate swap agreementscontracts that existed as of December 31, 2010, were terminated at the Company’s request on January 14, 2011, concurrent with the retirement of the ABL Credit Facility and the issuance of its 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021, as discussed in Note 3 and Note 5.

Asset-based revolving credit facility:

The Company determined that the estimated fair value of its ABL Credit Facility, as discussed in Note 3, approximated the carrying amount of $356.0 million at December 31, 2010, which is included in “Long-term debt, less current portion” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.Sheets as of December 31, 2010. These valuations were determined by consulting investment bankers, the Company’s observations of the value tendered by counterparties moving into and out of the facility and an analysis of the changes in credit spreads for comparable companies in the industry (Level 2). All outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility were repaid on January 14, 2011, and the facility was retired concurrent with the issuance of the Company’s 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021 as discussed in Note 3.

Other financial instruments:

The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, amounts receivable from vendors 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 8 – SHARE-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PLANS AND OTHER 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 payments include stock option awards issued under the Company’s employee stock option plan, director stock option plan, restricted stock awarded under the Company’s employee incentive plan and director plan, stock issued through the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and stock awarded to employees through other benefit programs.

Stock options:

The Company’s stock-based incentive plans provide for the granting of stock options for the purchase of common stock of the Company to directors and certain key employees of the Company. 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. Director options granted under the plan expire after seven years and are fully vested after six months. Employee options granted under the planplans expire after ten years and typically vest 25% aper year, over four years. The Company records compensation expense for the grant date fair value of option awards evenly over the vesting period under the straight-line method. The following table summarizesidentifies the stock option activity during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011:

The Company recognized stock option compensation expense of approximately $4.7$4.6 million and $9.1$13.7 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, respectively, and recognized a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $1.8 million and $3.5$5.3 million, respectively. The Company recognized stock option compensation expense of approximately $3.8 million and $7.5$11.3 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, respectively, and recognized a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $1.5 million and $2.9$4.3 million, respectively.

The fair value of each stock option grant 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 expected volatility, expected life, the risk free rate and the expected dividend yield. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. Expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data and experience to estimate the expected life of options granted. The risk free interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the options are based on the United States Treasury rates in effect at the time the options are granted for the options’ expected life.

The weighted-average assumptions, identified in the table below wereidentifies the weighted-average assumptions used for grants issued for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and 2010:

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, was $16.86$16.26 compared to $13.25$13.58 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested awards at JuneSeptember 30, 2011, was $30.2$38.0 million, and the weighted-average period of time over which this cost will be recognized is 3.02.8 years.

Other share-based compensation and benefit plans:

The Company sponsors other share-based compensation and benefit plans including an employee stock purchase plan, which permits all eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the fair market value, a performance incentive plan under which the Company’s senior management is awarded shares of restricted stock that vest equally over a three-year period, and a compensation plan under which the Company’s independent directors are awarded shares of restricted stock that vest equally over a three-year period. Compensation expense recognized under these plans is measured based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of award and is recorded over the vesting period. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, the Company recorded approximately $0.7$0.8 million and $1.4$2.2 million of compensation expense for benefits provided under these plans, respectively, and a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5$0.8 million, respectively. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, the Company recorded approximately $0.5 million and $1.0$1.5 million of compensation expense for benefits provided under these plans, respectively, and recognized a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million and $0.4$0.6 million, respectively.

For the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011 and 2010, the computation of diluted earnings per share did not include certain common stock equivalents. These common stock equivalents represent underlying stock options not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share, because the inclusion of such equivalents would have been antidilutive.

The exchangeable notes were retired in December of 2010, and therefore had no dilutive effect on 2011 results. Incremental net shares for the exchange feature of the exchangeable notes were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010.

NOTE 10 – LEGAL MATTERS

O’Reilly Litigation:

O’Reilly is currently involved in litigation incidental to the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business. Although the Company cannot ascertain the amount of liability that it may incur from any of these matters, it does not currently believe that, in the aggregate, these matters, taking into account applicable insurance and reserves, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarter or annual period. In addition, O’Reilly is involved in resolving the governmental investigations that were being conducted against CSK and CSK’s former officers prior to its acquisition by O’Reilly, as described below.

CSK Pre-Acquisition Matters – Governmental Investigations and Actions:

As previously reported, the pre-acquisition Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) investigation of CSK, which commenced in 2006, was settled in May of 2009 by administrative order without fines, disgorgement or other financial remedies. TheWith respect to the Department of Justice (“DOJ”)’s criminal investigation into these same matters as previously disclosed is near a conclusion and is described more fully below.

As previously reported, the DOJ criminal prosecution of Don Watson, the former Chief Financial Officer of CSK, was set for trial to commence on June 7, 2011. However, on May 13, 2011, Watson pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and mail fraud. Sentencing is currently set for September 19, 2011.

In addition, the previously reported SEC complaint against three former employees of CSK for alleged misconduct related to CSK’s historical accounting practices remains ongoing. On May 11, 2011, the Court scheduled trial on these matters to commence April 23, 2012. The action filed by the SEC on July 22, 2009, against Maynard L. Jenkins, the former Chief Executive Officer of CSK, seeking reimbursement from Mr. Jenkins of certain bonuses and stock sale profits pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,

as previously reported, also continues. As previously reported, on March 24, 2011, the parties filed a stipulation announcing a tentative settlement agreement had been reached, subject to approval by the SEC’s Commissioners. On July 18, 2011, the parties informed the court that their efforts at settlement were unsuccessful and, as a result, the parties were ordered by the court to submit a discovery plan and proposed schedule by July 29, 2011.

With respect to the ongoing DOJ investigation into CSK’s pre-acquisition accounting practices, as referenced above, as previously disclosed,CSK, O’Reilly and the DOJ agreed in principle, subject to final documentation, to resolve the DOJ investigation of CSK’s legacy pre-acquisition accounting practices. The Company and the DOJ continue work to complete the final documentation necessary for the execution of theexecuted a Non-Prosecution Agreement (“NPA”) in August of 2011. As a result, during the third quarter of 2011, the Company paid the previously referenced and CSK’s payment of adisclosed one-time monetary penalty of $20.9 million, also previously reported. The Company’s total reserve related tomillion. With the DOJ investigationcompletion of the NPA, these governmental investigations of CSK was $21.0 million as of June 30, 2011, which relates to the amount of the monetary penalty and associated legal costs.regarding its legacy pre-acquisition accounting practices have concluded.

Notwithstanding the agreement in principleNon-Prosecution Agreement with the DOJ, several of CSK’s former directors or officers and current or former employees have been or may be interviewed or deposed as part of criminal, administrative and civil investigations and lawsuits. As described above,below, certain former employees of CSK are the subject of civil and criminal litigation commenced by the government. Under Delaware law, the charter documents of the CSK entities and certain indemnification agreements, CSK has certain obligations to indemnify these persons and, as a result, O’Reilly is currently incurring legal fees on behalf of these persons in relation to these pending and unresolved matters. Some of these indemnification obligations and other related costs may not be covered by CSK’s insurance policies.

As previously reported, on May 13, 2011, former CSK Chief Financial Officer Don Watson pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and mail fraud. He was sentenced on September 19, 2011. With Watson’s guilty plea and sentencing, his criminal proceeding has reached finality. CSK’s former Controller and former Director of Credit and Receivables pled guilty to obstruction of justice and are scheduled to be sentenced on November 7, 2011. In addition, the previously reported SEC complaint against these same three former employees for alleged misconduct related to CSK’s historical accounting practices remains ongoing.

The action filed by the SEC on July 22, 2009, against Maynard L. Jenkins, the former Chief Executive Officer of CSK, seeking reimbursement from Mr. Jenkins of certain bonuses and stock sale profits pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as previously reported, also continues. On August 10, 2011, the parties were ordered to mediation on September 27, 2011.

As a result of the CSK acquisition, O’Reilly has incurred and expects to continue to incur additional legal fees and expenses related to the indemnity obligations related toarising from the litigation that has commenced by the DOJ and SEC of CSK’s former employees until final resolution.resolution of the remaining matters as described more fully above. O’Reilly has a remaining reserve, with respect to suchthe indemnification obligations of $16.7$15.7 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2011, which wasrelates to both expected additional legal fees and expenses and to the payment of those legal fees and expenses already incurred and which were primarily recorded as an assumed liability in the Company’s allocation of the purchase price of CSK.

The foregoing governmental investigations and indemnification matters are subject to many uncertainties, and, given their complexity and scope, their final outcome cannot be predicted at this time. It is possible that in a particular quarter or annual period the Company’s results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of such matters, depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flows for such period. However, at this time, management believes that the ultimate outcome of all of such regulatory proceedings and other matters that are pending, after consideration of applicable reserves and potentially available insurance coverage benefits not contemplated in recorded reserves, should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations andor cash flows.

NOTE 11 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May of 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04,Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 was issued to bring the definition of fair value, the guidance for fair value measurement and the disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in line with one another. ASU 2011-04 also enhances the disclosure requirements for changes and transfers within the valuation hierarchy levels, particularly valuations in Level 3 fair value measurements, and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The application of this guidance affects disclosures only and therefore, will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June of 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05,Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 was issued to improve the comparability of financial reporting between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, and eliminates previous U.S. GAAP guidance that allowed an entity to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of its statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. With the issuance of ASU 2011-05, companies are now required to report all components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of total comprehensive income, which includes components of both OCI and net income, or in a separate statement appearing consecutively with the statement of income. ASU 2011-05 does not affect current guidance for the accounting of the components of OCI, or which items are included within total comprehensive income, and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The application of this guidance affects presentation only and therefore, will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In September of 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08,Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 was issued to simplify the impairment test of goodwill, by allowing entities to use a qualitative approach to determine whether goodwill impairment might exist, before completing the entire impairment test. Under ASU 2011-08, an entity has the option to first assess any qualitative factors that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The changes under ASU 2011-08 are effective for public companies for annual and interim testing performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance with its 2011 annual impairment testing. The application of this guidance is not anticipated to impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

We are one of the largest specialty retailers of automotive aftermarket parts, tools, supplies, equipment and accessories in the U.S., selling our products to both do-it-yourself (“DIY”) customers and professional service providers. During the secondthird quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we opened 4450 stores, and did not close any stores. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we opened 149 stores, and closed 12 stores. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we operated 3,6573,707 stores in 39 states.

Our stores carry an extensive product line, including the products identified below:

 

new and remanufactured automotive hard parts, such as alternators, starters, fuel pumps, water pumps, brake system components, batteries, belts, hoses, chassis parts and engine parts;

 

maintenance items, such as oil, antifreeze, fluids, filters, wiper blades, lighting, engine additives and appearance products; and

 

accessories, such as floor mats, seat covers and truck accessories.

Many of our stores offer enhanced services and programs to our customers, including those identified below:

 

used oil and battery recyclingrecycling;

 

battery diagnostic testingtesting;

 

electrical and module testingtesting;

 

loaner tool programprogram;

 

drum and rotor resurfacingresurfacing;

 

custom hydraulic hoseshoses;

 

professional paint shop mixing and related materialsmaterials; or

 

machine shopsshops.

Our strategy is to open new stores to achieve greater penetration into existing markets and expansion into new, contiguous markets. We plan to open approximately 170 net, new stores in 2011. We typically open new stores either by (i) constructing a new store at a site we purchase or lease and stocking the new store with fixtures and inventory, (ii) acquiring an independently owned auto parts store, typically by the purchase of substantially all of the inventory and other assets (other than realty) of such store, or (iii) purchasing multi-store chains. We believe that our dual market strategy of targeting both the DIY retail customer and professional service provider positions us extremely well to take advantage of growth in the automotive aftermarket business. We believe our investment in store growth will be funded with the cash flows expected to be generated by our existing operations and through available borrowings under our existing credit facility.

We provide our customers with 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 margin dollars are highest for the “best” quality category of products. Our customer’s willingness to select products at a higher point on the value spectrum is a driver of sales and profitability for our business. We believe that the average consumer’s tendency has been to “trade-down” to lower quality products during the recent challenging macroeconomic conditions. We have ongoing initiatives targeted to marketing higher quality products to our customers and expect our customers to be more willing to return to purchasing up on the value spectrum in the future as the U.S. economy recovers.

KEY DEMAND DRIVERS OF THE AUTOMOTIVE AFTERMARKET

We believe that the number of U.S. miles driven, number of U.S. registered vehicles, new light vehicle registrations, average vehicle age, unperformed maintenance and unemployment are key drivers of current and future demand of products sold within the automotive aftermarket.

Number of miles driven:

Total miles driven in the U.S. heavily influences the demand for the repair and maintenance products we sell. Historically, the long-term trend in the total miles driven in the U.S. has steadily increased. According to the Department of Transportation, between 2002 and 2007, the total number of miles driven in the U.S. increased at an average annual rate of approximately 1.4%. In 2008, however, difficult macroeconomic conditions and high gas prices during the year led to a decrease in the number of miles driven, and in 2009, miles driven remained relatively flat. In 2010, miles driven in the U.S. increased by 0.7%, however, the number of miles driven has decreased by 1.0%1.3% through the first fiveeight months of 2011. Historically, rapid increases in gasoline prices have negatively impacted U.S. total miles driven as consumers reactreacted to the increased expense by reducing travel. Year-to-dateAccording to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, year-to-date through JuneSeptember of 2011, average gasoline prices have increased 17%15% when compared to an increase of 6%4% for the same period in 2010. We believe that as the U.S. economy recovers and gasoline prices stabilize, annual miles driven will return to historical growth rates and continue to drive demand forin the industry.

Number of U.S. registered vehicles and new light vehicle registrations:

As reported by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (“AAIA”), the total number of vehicles on the road in the U.S. has exhibited steady growth over the past decade, with the total number of registered vehicles increasing 15%, from 209 million light vehicles in 2001 to 240 million in 2010. New light vehicle registrations, however, have declined over the past decade. From 2001 to 2009, new car registrations in the U.S. decreased by 40%, from 17.3 million in 2001 to 10.3 million vehicles in 2009, the lowest level in the past decade. During 2010, new light vehicle registrations increased 11%, as consumer confidence in the economy improved. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, the seasonally adjusted annual rate (“SAAR”) of sales of total light vehicles in the U.S. increased to $11.513 million vehicles, continuing a steady upward trend since mid-2009; however, the monthly SAAR of sales of total light vehicles remains below historical ten year rates. Based on the current economic environment, we believe new light vehicle registrations will remain below historic levels and consumers will continue to keep their vehicles longer and drive them at higher miles, continuing the trend of an aging vehicle population.

Average vehicle age of registered vehicles:

As reported by the AAIA, the average age of the U.S. vehicle population has increased over the past decade from 9.3 years for passenger cars and 8.4 years for light trucks in 2001 to 11.0 and 10.1 years in 2010, respectively. We believe this increase in average age can be attributed to better engineered and built vehicles, which can be reliably driven at higher miles due to better quality power trains and interiors and exteriors, below historical levels of new car sales over the past two years and the consumers’ willingness to invest in maintaining their higher-mileage, better built vehicles. As the average age of the vehicle on the road increases, a larger percentage of miles are being driven by vehicles which are outside of 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, which require replacement parts, and generally require more maintenance than newer vehicles.

Unperformed maintenance:

According to estimates compiled by the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association, the annual amount of unperformed or underperformed maintenance in the U.S. totaled $54 billion for 2009 versus $50 billion for 2008. This metric represents the degree to which routine vehicle maintenance recommended by the manufacturer is not being performed. Consumers’ decision to avoid or defer

maintenance affects demand for the industry, and the total amount of unperformed maintenance represents potential future demand. We believe that challenging macroeconomic conditions beginning in 2008 contributed to the increased amount of unperformed maintenance in 2009; however, with the reduced number of new car sales and consumers’ increased focus on maintaining their current vehicle with the expectation of keeping the vehicle longer than they would have in a better macroeconomic environment, we believe the amount of underperformed maintenance decreased in 2010, resulting in a historically strong year for the automotive aftermarket.

Unemployment:

Challenging macroeconomic conditions have lead to high levels of unemployment. The annual U.S. unemployment rate for 2010 was 9.6%, the highest unemployment rate since 1982. The U.S. monthly unemployment rates in 2011 are below 2010 levels, with June’sOctober’s unemployment rate at 9.2%9.0%; however, unemployment rates remain significantly above historical ten year rates. We believe that these unemployment rates and continued uncertainty in the overall economic health have a negative impact on consumer confidence and the level of consumer discretionary spending. We also believe macroeconomic uncertainties and the potential for future joblessness can motivate consumers to find ways to save money and can be an important factor in the consumer’s decision to defer the purchase of a new vehicle. While the deferral of vehicle purchases has lead to an increase in vehicle maintenance, long-term trends of high unemployment levels could reduce the number of total annual miles driven as well as decrease consumer discretionary spending habits, both of which could negatively impact demand in the automotive aftermarket.

RECENT EVENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS

On January 11, 2011, we announced a new Board-approved share repurchase program that authorizes us to repurchase up to $500 million of shares of our common stock over a three-year period. On August 5, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a resolution to increase the authorization under the share repurchase program by an additional $500 million, raising the cumulative authorization under the share repurchase program to $1 billion. The additional $500 million authorization is effective for a three-year period, beginning on August 5, 2011. Stock repurchases under the share repurchase program may be made from time to time as we deem appropriate, solely through open market purchases effected through a broker dealer at prevailing market prices, and we may increase, terminate or otherwise modify the share repurchase program at any time without prior notice. As of AugustNovember 8, 2011, we had repurchased approximately 7.314 million shares of our common stock at an aggregate cost of $418$859 million under this program.

On January 14, 2011, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (“4.875% Senior Notes”Notes due 2021”) in the public market of which we and certain of our subsidiaries are the guarantors, andwith United Missouri Bank, N.A. (“UMB”) is trustee.as trustee, which were guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”). The 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021 were issued at 99.297% of their face value and will mature on January 14, 2021. The net proceeds from the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021 issuance were used to repay all of our outstanding borrowings under our existing secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Credit Facility”), pay fees associated with the issuanceoffering and for general corporate purposes. Concurrent with the issuance of the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021, we entered into a credit agreement for a $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) arranged by Bank of America (“BA”) and Barclays Capital, (the “Revolver”), which replaced the previous ABL Credit Facility, and matureswas scheduled to mature on January 13, 2016. All remaining debt issuance costs related to our previous ABL Credit Facility, totaling $22 million were written off, and all interest rate swap agreements related to notional amounts under the ABL Credit Facility, with a carrying value of $4 million, were terminated and charged to earnings as one-time, non-recurring items upon the repayment and retirement of the ABL Credit Facility in January of 2011.

On August 5,September 9, 2011, we announced thatamended our Board of Directors approved a resolution to increasecredit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), reducing the authorizationaggregate commitments under the share repurchase program by an additional $500facility to $660 million, raisingextending the cumulative authorizationmaturity date on the Credit Agreement to September 9, 2016, and reducing the facility fee and interest rate margins for borrowings under the repurchase programRevolver. In conjunction with the amendment, we recognized a one-time charge related to $1 billion.the modification in the amount of $0.3 million, which is included in “Other income (expense)” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

On September 19, 2011, we issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured 4.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (“4.625% Senior Notes due 2021”) in the public market with UMB as trustee, which were guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The additional $500 million authorization is effective4.625% Senior Notes due 2021 were issued at 99.826% of their face value and will mature on September 15, 2021. The net proceeds from the 4.625% Senior Notes due 2021 issuance were used to pay fees and expenses related to the offering, with the remainder intended to repay borrowings outstanding, from time to time, under the Revolver and for a period of three years, beginning on August 5, 2011. We may increase or otherwise modify, renew, suspend or terminate the repurchase program at any time, without prior notice.general corporate purposes, including share repurchases.

Comparable store sales are calculated based on the change in sales of 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 for stores open at least one year increased 4.4%4.8% and 5.0%4.9% for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, respectively. Comparable store sales for stores open at least one year increased 7.9%11.1% and 7.4%8.6% for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, respectively.

We believe the increased sales achieved by our stores are the result of high levels of customer service, superior inventory availability, a broader selection of products offered in most stores, a targeted promotional and advertising effort through a variety of media and localized promotional events, continued improvement in the merchandising and store layouts of theour stores, compensation programs for all store team members that provide incentives for performance and our continued focus on serving both DIY and professional service providers.provider customers. Our comparable store sales increase for the quarter werewas driven by higheran increase in average ticket values, partially offset in part by a small decline in customer transaction counts. The improvement in average ticket values was primarily the result of the continued growth of our commercial business andthe higher priced, hard part categories as a larger percentage of our total sales derived from higher priced, hard part categories. Average transactionsand the impact of increased raw material acquisition costs which were positivelypassed through to increased selling prices during the period. During the quarter, DIY customer transaction counts were negatively impacted by the growth ofcontinued pressure on disposable income that our commercial business in the acquired CSK marketscustomers faced as a result of the enhanced distribution model, which supports the implementation of our dual market strategy in these areas. During the quarter, our DIY customers faced increased fuel costs putting pressure on disposable income and negatively impacting DIY transaction counts.

Store growth:sustained unemployment levels above historical averages.

We opened 4450 and 99149 new stores during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 2448 and 73121 new stores for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, respectively. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we operated 3,6573,707 stores in 39 states compared to 3,4923,536 stores in 38 states at JuneSeptember 30, 2010. We anticipate total new store unit growth to be 170 net, new store openings in 2011.

Gross profit:

Gross profit for the secondthird quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $719$754 million (or 48.6%49.1% of sales) from $673$693 million (or 48.7%48.6% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 7%9%. Gross profit for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $1.39$2.14 billion (or 48.5%48.7% of sales) from $1.29$1.98 billion (or 48.5%48.6% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 8%. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily a result of the increase in sales from new stores and the increase in comparable storestores sales at existing stores. The decreaseincrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales for the quarter was primarily attributabledue to a favorable product mix and improved inventory shrinkage, partially offset by the impact of increased commercial sales as a percentage of the total sales mix. The improvement in product mix lower margins on promotional items andwas primarily driven by increased distribution system costs, partially offset by improved inventory shrinkage and favorable product mix. Commercial sales in the acquired CSK markets are growing athard part categories, which typically generate a faster rate than total DIY sales as a result of our enhanced distribution model, which supports the implementation of our dual market strategy in these areas. Commercial sales typically carry a lower gross margin percentage than DIY sales, as volume discounts are granted on wholesale transactions to professional service providers, creating pressure on ourhigher gross profit as a percentage of sales. The lower margins on promotional items during the second quarter were due to rapid price increases from our vendors, driven by rising raw material costs, which could not be immediately passed on through increases in advertised selling prices. Increased distribution system costs wereIncreasing hard part sales is the result of product-line changeover projectsstrong demand as consumers retain and increases in product returns related to returns in the converted CSK stores driven bymaintain their vehicles beyond manufacturer warranty and our efforts to refine theenhanced and more comprehensive inventory levels in the acquired stores and increased diesel costs for our over-the-road vehicles which support our robust distribution network.hard part categories offered in the CSK stores. The decrease inimproved inventory shrinkage is driven by theour converted CSK stores, which are now managed using the O’Reilly point-of-sale system (“POS”), installed in all CSK stores whenas they converted to the O’Reilly distribution systems throughout 2009 and 2010.

Selling, general and administrative expenses:

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the secondthird quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $496$513 million (or 33.5%33.4% of sales) from $476$488 million (or 34.5%34.3% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 4%5%. SG&A for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $970 million$1.48 billion (or 33.9%33.7% of sales) from $926 million$1.41 billion (or 34.8%34.6% of sales) for

Operating income:

Operating income for the secondthird quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $222$241 million (or 15.0%15.7% of sales) from $181$199 million (or 13.1%14.0% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 23%21%. Operating income for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $419$660 million (or 14.6%15.0% of sales) from $350$549 million (or 13.1%13.4% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 20%. The increases in operating income during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, are primarily attributabledue to the impacts discussed above, as well as a $6 million and $15 million charge to operating income induring the second quarter ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, related to the previously announced legacy CSK DOJ investigation (See Note 10 – Legal Matters to the condensed consolidated financial statements). As previously announced, the results for the three months ended June 30, 2010, included a charge related to the legacy DOJ investigation of CSK into CSK’s pre-acquisition historical accounting practices. A one-time monetary penalty of $21 million will be paid to the DOJ upon completion of a Non-Prosecution Agreement (“NPA”) between the DOJ, CSK and O’Reilly. We accrued $15 million during the second quarter of 2010 and an additional $6 million during the third quarter ended September 30, 2010, in anticipation of execution of the NPA.

Other income and expense:

Total other expense for the secondthird quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, decreased to $5$6 million (or 0.4% of sales) from $10$9 million (or 0.7%0.6% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing a decrease of 45%32%. Total other expense for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $36$42 million (or 1.2%0.9% of sales) from $20$29 million (or 0.7% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 81%46%. The decrease in total other expense for the quarter was driven by decreased interest expense on a lower level of average interest rate on outstanding borrowings, a lower facility fee on our Revolver and lower amortization of debt issuance costs on our Revolver and senior notes in the current period as compared to the borrowing rates, facility fee and amortization of debt issuance costs on our ABL Credit Facility and outstanding exchangeable notes during the same period one year ago. The increase in total other expense for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, is driven bywas primarily due to one-time charges during the current period that related to our new financing transactions that were completed in January of 2011, slightly offset by a decrease in interest expense on a lower level of average outstanding borrowings compared to the same period one year ago, as well as an increase in interest income.2011. The one-time charges included a non-cash charge to write off the balance of debt issuance costs related to our previous credit facility in the amount of $22 million and a charge related to the termination of our interest rate swap agreements in the amount of $4 million.

Income taxes:

Our provision for income taxes for the secondthird quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $83$87 million (or 5.6% of sales) from $72$74 million (or 5.2% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 16%18%. Our provision for income taxes for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $147$234 million (or 5.1%5.3% of sales) from $133$207 million (or 5.0%5.1% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 11%13%. The increase in our provision for income taxes is due to the increase in our taxable income. Our effective tax rate for the secondthird quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, was 38.3%36.8% of income before income taxes compared to 41.9%38.7% for the same period one year ago. Our effective tax rate for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, was 38.3%37.8% of income before income taxes compared to 40.3%39.7% for the same period one year ago. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, was primarily the result of the $15 million charge incharges during the second quarter ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 2010, related tofor the legacy CSK DOJ investigation (See Note 10 – Legal Matters to the condensed consolidated financial statements), which waswere not deductible for tax purposes.

Net income:

As a result of the impacts discussed above, net income for the secondthird quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $134$148 million (or 9.0%9.7% of sales) from $100$117 million (or 7.2%8.2% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 34%27%. As a result of the impacts discussed above, net income for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $236$385 million (or 8.3%8.7% of sales) from $197$314 million (or 7.4%7.7% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 20%23%.

Earnings per share:

Our diluted earnings per common share for the secondthird quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased 35%34% to $0.96$1.10 on 140135 million shares versus $0.71$0.82 for the same period one year ago on 142 million shares. The impact of the year-to-date share repurchases on diluted earnings per share for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, was an increase of approximately $0.07. Our diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, increased 24% to $2.76 on 139 million shares versus $2.23 for the same period one year ago on 141 million shares. The impact of the year-to-date share repurchases on diluted earnings per share for the second quarternine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, was an increase of approximately $0.03. Our diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2011, increased 19% to $1.67 on 141 million shares versus $1.40 for the same period one year ago on 140 million shares. The impact of the year-to-date share repurchases on diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011, was an increase of approximately $0.03.$0.09.

Adjustments for nonrecurring and non-operating events:

Our results for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, included one-time charges associated with the new financing transactions we completed on January 14, 2011, as discussed above. Our results for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2010, included a chargecharges recorded in the second quarter of 2010 related to the legacy CSK DOJ investigation, as discussed above.

Liquidity and related ratios:

Our quick assetsTotal debt increased 122% and total equity decreased 12% from December 31, 2010, to June 30, 2011, primarily driven by an increase in cash from the issuance of our 4.875% Senior Notes, negotiated extended payment terms from vendors under our enhanced vendor financing programs and cash generated from operations, offset by the impact of cash used for the repurchase of shares of our common stock in accordance with our share repurchase program and the repayment and retirement of our ABL Credit Facility. Total debt increased 39% and total equity decreased 2% from December 31, 2010, to JuneSeptember 30, 2011. The increase in total debt was attributable to the issuance of our 4.875% Senior Notes in January ofsenior notes during 2011, partially offset by the simultaneous repayment of our ABL Credit Facility.Facility in January of 2011. The decrease in total equity resulted from the impact of repurchase activity under our share repurchase program on additional paid-in capital and retained earnings, offset by an increase in retained earnings from strong year-to-date net income.income and an increase in additional paid-in-capital from the proceeds of stock option exercises executed under our director and employee share-based compensation plans.

Operating activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $561$840 million from $356$593 million for the same period one year ago. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to an increase instrong year-to-date net income (adjusted for the effect of the one-time, non-cash charge to write off the balance of debt issuance costs in conjunction with the retirement of our ABL Credit Facility)Facility in January of 2011 and the impact of decreased deferred income taxes), a significant decrease in net inventory investment, partially offset by a decrease in other

current liabilities. Net inventory investment reflects our investment in inventory, net of the amount of accounts payable to vendors. Our net inventory investment significantly decreased as a result of the impact on accounts payable resulting fromof our enhanced vendor financing programs.programs as well as our ongoing efforts to remove excess inventory from our systems. Our vendor financing programs enable us to reduce overall supply chain costs and negotiate extended payment terms with our vendors. As we continue to add vendors to our programs, the extended payment terms increase our outstanding vendor accounts payable, resulting in improved cash flow from operations. Our accounts payable to inventory ratio was 54.8%59.3% and 44.3% at JuneSeptember 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010, respectively, versus 44.2%compared to 47.2% and 42.8% at JuneSeptember 30, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively. The decrease in other current liabilities is primarily the result of a reduction in payroll related accruals during the current period as compared to the same period one year ago,was driven by the timingpayment of pay period end dates and the corresponding payment dates.one-time monetary penalty to the DOJ for the legacy CSK DOJ investigation.

Investing activities:

Net cash used in investing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, decreased to $147$238 million from $181$275 million for the same period one year ago. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of decreased capital expenditures in the current period versus the same period one year ago.period. During the first sixnine months of 2010, we continued to invest in the comprehensive expansion of our distribution system infrastructure in our westernthe CSK markets. We completed the expansion projects in 2010, resulting in a significantly reduced levellevels of distribution system expenditures during the first sixnine months ofended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period one year ago. The reduction in distribution system capital expenditures during the current period as compared to the prior period is slightly offset by an increased level of capital expenditures during the first six months of 2011 for new store openings versus the same period one year ago. During the first six months of 2011, we opened 99 new stores compared to 73 new store openings during the first six months of 2010.

Financing activities:

Net cash used in financing activities for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, increased to $176$355 million from $170$302 million for the same period one year ago. The increase in net cash used in financing activities is primarily driven byattributable to the impact of the repurchases of our common stock during the current period in accordance with our Board-approved share repurchase program, during the first six months of 2011, which was partially offset by an increase in net borrowings under our debt facilities in the current period as compared to net repayments under our facilities during the first six months of 2010.same period one year ago. The net borrowings under our debt facilities duringin the current period are the result of the proceeds from the issuance of our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021 and our 4.625% Senior Notes due 2021 in January and September of 2011, which wasrespectively, partially offset by the repayment and termination of our previous ABL Credit Facility and the payment of debt issuance costs related to the issuance of our 4.875% Senior Notessenior notes and the establishment of our new unsecured Revolver. The net repayments under our facilities duringfor the first six months of 2010 wassame period one year ago were the result of our focus in the prior year on using available cash on hand to reduce the level of outstanding borrowings onunder our secured ABL Credit Facility.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Asset-based revolving credit facility:

InOn July of11, 2008, we entered into a credit agreement for a five-year asset-based revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature in July of 2013. At December 31, 2010, we had outstanding borrowings of $356 million under the ABL Credit Facility, of which $106 million were not covered under an interest rate swap agreement.contract. All outstanding borrowings under the ABL Credit Facility were repaid, and all related interest rate swap transaction agreementscontracts were terminated on January 14, 2011, and the ABL Credit Facility was retired concurrent with the issuance of our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021, as further described below. In conjunction with the retirement of our ABL Credit Facility, we recognized a one-time adjustment for a non-cash charge to write off the balance of debt issuance costs related to the ABL Credit Facility in the amount of $22 million and a one-time charge related to the termination of our interest rate swap agreementscontracts in the amount of $4 million, which are included in “Other income (expense)” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011.

On September 9, 2011, we amended the Credit Agreement, decreasing the aggregate commitments under the Revolver to $660 million, extending the maturity date on the Credit Agreement to September of 2016 and reducing the facility fee and interest rate margins for borrowings under the Revolver. In conjunction with the amendment to the Credit Agreement, we recognized a one-time charge related to the modification in the amount of $0.3 million, which is included in “Other income (expense)” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. The RevolverCredit Agreement includes a $200 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $75 million sub-limit for swing line borrowings.borrowings under the Revolver.

As of $950 million.September 30, 2011, we had outstanding letters of credit, primarily to satisfy workers’ compensation, general liability and other insurance policies, in the amount of $68 million, reducing the aggregate availability under the Revolver by that amount. As of September 30, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolver.

Borrowings under the Revolver (other than swing line loans) bear interest, at our option, at either the Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate (both as defined in the credit agreement)Credit Agreement) plus a margin that varies from 1.325%0.975% to 2.50%1.600% in the case of loans bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate and 0.325%0.000% to 1.50%0.600% in the case of loans bearing interest at the Base Rate, in each case based upon the better of the ratings assigned to our debt by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc.

In January of 2011, our Board of Directors approved a $500 million share repurchase program. Under the program, we may, from time to time, repurchase shares of our 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 requirements and overall market conditions, for a three-year period. We repurchased 3.3 million shares of our common stock as part of our publicly announced repurchase program during the three months ended June 30, 2011, at an average price per share of $58.44, for a total investment of $193 million. We repurchased 5.9 million shares of our common stock as part of our publicly announced repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2011, at an average price per share of $57.16, for a total investment of $338 million. As of that date, we had $162 million remaining under our repurchase program, which is scheduled to expire inperiod, beginning on January of 2014. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter we repurchased an additional 1.4 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $58.86, for a total investment of $81 million.10, 2011. On August 5, 2011, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a resolution to increase the authorization under the share repurchase program by an additional $500 million, raising the cumulative authorization under the share repurchase program to $1 billion. The additional $500 million authorization is effective for a period of three years, beginning on August 5, 2011. We repurchased 8.2 million shares of our common stock as part of our publicly announced share repurchase program during the three months ended September 30, 2011, at an average price per share of $61.51, for a total investment of $502 million. We repurchased 14.1 million shares of our common stock as part of our publicly announced share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, at an average price per share of $59.69, for a total investment of $840 million. At September 30, 2011, we had $160 million remaining under our share repurchase program. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter we repurchased an additional 0.3 million shares of our common stock at an average price per share of $65.83, for a total investment of $19 million. We may increase or otherwise modify, renew, suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time, without prior notice.

Store activity:

During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we opened 4450 and 99149 new stores, respectively. We did not close any stores during the three months ended June 30, 2011,third quarter, and closed 12 stores during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2011. We plan to open a total of 170 net, new stores in 2011. The funds required for such planned expansions are expected to be provided by cash expected to be generated from operating activities.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

At JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we had long-term debt with maturities of less than one year of $1 million and long-term debt with maturities over one year of $498$797 million, representing a total increase in all outstanding debt of $140$439 million from December 31, 2010. The ABL Credit Facility, which was scheduled to mature in July of 2013, was repaid and retired on January 14, 2011. The 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021 issued on January 14, 2011, in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million, were issued at a price to the public of 99.297% of their face value and mature on January 14, 2021. Interest on the 4.875% Senior Notes due 2021 accrues at a rate of 4.875% per annum and is payable on January 14 and July 14 of each year, beginningwhich began on July 14, 2011.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements are prepared. There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

INFLATION AND SEASONALITY

We have been successful, in many cases, in reducing the effects of merchandise cost increases, principally by taking advantage of vendor incentive programs, economies of scale resulting from increased volume of purchases and selective forward buying. To the extent our acquisition cost increased due to base commodity price increases industry-wide, we have typically been able to pass along these increased costs through higher retail prices for the affected products. As a result, we do not believe our operations have been materially, adversely affected by inflation.

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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May of 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04,Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 was issued to bring the definition of fair value, the guidance for fair value measurement and the disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) in line with one another. ASU 2011-04 also enhances the disclosure requirements for changes and transfers within the valuation hierarchy levels, particularly valuations in Level 3 fair value measurements, and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The application of this guidance affects disclosures only and therefore, will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In June of 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05,Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 was issued to improve the comparability of financial reporting between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, and eliminates previous U.S. GAAP guidance that allowed an entity to present components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) as part of its statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. With the issuance of ASU 2011-05, companies are now required to report all components of OCI either in a single continuous statement of total comprehensive income, which includes components of both OCI and net income, or in a separate statement appearing consecutively with the statement of income. ASU 2011-05 does not affect current guidance for the accounting of the components of OCI, or which items are included within total comprehensive income, and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The application of this guidance affects presentation only and therefore, will not have an impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In September of 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08,Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 was issued to simplify the impairment test of goodwill, by allowing entities to use a qualitative approach to determine whether goodwill impairment might exist, before completing the entire impairment test. Under ASU 2011-08, an entity has the option to first assess any qualitative factors that would lead to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The changes under ASU 2011-08 are effective for public companies for annual and interim testing performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this guidance with our 2011 annual impairment testing. The application of this guidance is not anticipated to impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are subject to interest rate risk to the extent we borrow against our unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) with variable interest rates based on either a Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the credit agreement governing the Revolver. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Revolver.

We invest certain of our excess cash balances in short-term, highly-liquid instruments with maturities of 30 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $269$277 million.

Our market risks have not materially changed from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) 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 our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are functioning effectively to provideeffective at providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us (including our 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 our 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 our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ending JuneSeptember 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - PARTII—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

O’Reilly Litigation:

O’Reilly is currently involved in litigation incidental to the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business. Although the Company cannot ascertain the amount of liability that it may incur from any of these matters, it does not currently believe that, in the aggregate, these matters, taking into account applicable insurance and reserves, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarter or annual period. In addition, O’Reilly is involved in resolving the governmental investigations that were being conducted against CSK and CSK’s former officers prior to its acquisition by O’Reilly, as described below.

CSK Pre-Acquisition Matters – Governmental Investigations and Actions:

As previously reported, the pre-acquisition Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) investigation of CSK, which commenced in 2006, was settled in May of 2009 by administrative order without fines, disgorgement or other financial remedies. TheWith respect to the Department of Justice (“DOJ”)’s criminal investigation into these same matters as previously disclosed is near a conclusion and is described more fully below.

As previously reported, the DOJ criminal prosecution of Don Watson, the former Chief Financial Officer of CSK, was set for trial to commence on June 7, 2011. However, on May 13, 2011, Watson pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and mail fraud. Sentencing is currently set for September 19, 2011.

In addition, the previously reported SEC complaint against three former employees of CSK for alleged misconduct related to CSK’s historical accounting practices remains ongoing. On May 11, 2011, the Court scheduled trial on these matters to commence April 23, 2012. The action filed by the SEC on July 22, 2009, against Maynard L. Jenkins, the former Chief Executive Officer of CSK, seeking reimbursement from Mr. Jenkins of certain bonuses and stock sale profits pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as previously reported, also continues. As previously reported, on March 24, 2011, the parties filed a stipulation announcing a tentative settlement agreement had been reached, subject to approval by the SEC’s Commissioners. On July 18, 2011, the parties informed the court that their efforts at settlement were unsuccessful and, as a result, the parties were ordered by the court to submit a discovery plan and proposed schedule by July 29, 2011.

With respect to the ongoing DOJ investigation into CSK’s pre-acquisition accounting practices, as referenced above, as previously disclosed,CSK, O’Reilly and the DOJ agreed in principle, subject to final documentation, to resolve the DOJ investigation of CSK’s legacy pre-acquisition accounting practices. The Company and the DOJ continue work to complete the final documentation necessary for the execution of theexecuted a Non-Prosecution Agreement (“NPA”) in August of 2011. As a result, during the third quarter of 2011, the Company paid the previously referenced and CSK’s payment of adisclosed one-time monetary penalty of $21 million, also previously reported. The Company’s total reserve related to$20.9 million. With the DOJ investigationcompletion of the NPA, these governmental investigations of CSK was $21 million as of June 30, 2011, which relates to the amount of the monetary penalty and associated legal costs.regarding its legacy pre-acquisition accounting practices have concluded.

Notwithstanding the agreement in principleNon-Prosecution Agreement with the DOJ, several of CSK’s former directors or officers and current or former employees have been or may be interviewed or deposed as part of criminal, administrative and civil investigations and lawsuits. As described above,below, certain former employees of CSK are the subject of civil and criminal litigation commenced by the government. Under Delaware law, the charter documents of the CSK entities and certain indemnification agreements, CSK has certain obligations to indemnify these persons and, as a result, O’Reilly is currently incurring legal fees on behalf of these persons in relation to these pending and unresolved matters. Some of these indemnification obligations and other related costs may not be covered by CSK’s insurance policies.

As previously reported, on May 13, 2011, former CSK Chief Financial Officer Don Watson pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and mail fraud. He was sentenced on September 19, 2011. With Watson’s guilty plea and sentencing, his criminal proceeding has reached finality. CSK’s former Controller and former Director of Credit and Receivables pled guilty to obstruction of justice and are scheduled to be sentenced on November 7, 2011. In addition, the previously reported SEC complaint against these same three former employees for alleged misconduct related to CSK’s historical accounting practices remains ongoing.

The action filed by the SEC on July 22, 2009, against Maynard L. Jenkins, the former Chief Executive Officer of CSK, seeking reimbursement from Mr. Jenkins of certain bonuses and stock sale profits pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as previously reported, also continues. On August 10, 2011, the parties were ordered to mediation on September 27, 2011.

As a result of the CSK acquisition, O’Reilly has incurred and expects to continue to incur additional legal fees and expenses related to the indemnity obligations related toarising from the litigation that has commenced by the DOJ and SEC of CSK’s former employees until final resolution.resolution of the remaining matters as described more fully above. O’Reilly has a remaining reserve, with respect to suchthe indemnification obligations of $17$16 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2011, which wasrelates to both expected additional legal fees and expenses and to the payment of those legal fees and expenses already incurred and which were primarily recorded as an assumed liability in the Company’s allocation of the purchase price of CSK.

The foregoing governmental investigations and indemnification matters are subject to many uncertainties, and, given their complexity and scope, their final outcome cannot be predicted at this time. It is possible that in a particular quarter or annual period the Company’s results of operations and cash flows could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of such matters, depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flows for such period. However, at this time, management believes that the ultimate outcome of all of such regulatory proceedings and other matters that are pending, after consideration of applicable reserves and potentially available insurance coverage benefits not contemplated in recorded reserves, should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations andor cash flows.
