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.

4^th 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.
