NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

June 30, 2009

 

  1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles 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. generally accepted accounting principles 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, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date of June 30, 2009, through the filing of these financial statements which occurred on August 7, 2009. No material events or transactions which would require adjustments or disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements occurred during this period. 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, 2008.

 

  2. Business Combination

On July 11, 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of CSK Auto Corporation (“CSK”), one of the largest specialty retailers of auto parts and accessories in the Western United States and one of the largest such retailers in the United States, based on store count. At the date of the acquisition, CSK had 1,342 stores in 22 states operating under four brand names: Checker Auto Parts, Schuck’s Auto Supply, Kragen Auto Parts and Murray’s Discount Auto Parts. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had converted 264 CSK branded stores to O’Reilly systems, merged 41 CSK stores with existing O’Reilly locations, closed 6 CSK stores and opened 5 new CSK branded stores.

Purchase Price Allocation

The final purchase price for CSK, adjusted from its initial purchase price, was comprised of the following amounts (in thousands):

 

O’Reilly stock exchanged for CSK shares

   $  459,308

Cash payment to CSK shareholders

     42,253

CSK shares purchased by O’Reilly prior to merger

     21,724

Fair value of options and unvested restricted stock exchanged

     7,736

Direct costs of the acquisition

     11,227
      

Total purchase price

   $ 542,248
      

The acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting with O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. as the acquiring entity in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations (“SFAS No. 141”). Accordingly, the consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition. The allocation of purchase price was based upon certain external valuations and other analyses, including the review of legal reserves, for matters discussed in Note 11 “Legal Matters”. Since July 2008, the Company has adjusted its initial acquisition cost and preliminary purchase price allocation to reflect adjustments to certain assets, reserves, and obligations. The purchase price allocation was finalized on June 30, 2009.

O’Reilly exchanged 18,104,371 shares of common stock pursuant to the formula prescribed in the merger agreement relating to the acquisition of CSK, dated April 1, 2008. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 99-12, Determination of the Measurement Date for the Market Price of Acquirer Securities Issued in a Purchase Business Combination, the value of the O’Reilly stock exchanged for CSK shares of $25.37 per share was determined based on the average close price of O’Reilly stock beginning two days before and ending two days after June 9, 2008. The June 9, 2008, measurement date reflects the last day when the number of O’Reilly shares issuable in the transaction became fixed such that subsequent applications of the formula in the merger agreement did not result in a change in the total number of shares exchanged. The fair value of options exchanged in the merger of $6.7 million was based on CSK’s 3.69 million outstanding options on July 11, 2008, multiplied by the exchange ratio adjusted to reflect the $1.00 per share cash consideration. The weighted-average fair value per option of $3.82 was determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

Risk free interest rate

   2.5

Expected life

   2.3 Years 

Expected volatility

   29.9

Expected dividend yield

   0

Table of Contents

The fair value of $1.1 million for the O’Reilly shares exchanged for CSK’s unvested restricted stock outstanding at July 11, 2008, was based on the fair value per O’Reilly share of $25.37 on the June 9, 2008, measurement date. Direct costs of the acquisition include investment-banking fees, legal and accounting fees, and other external costs directly related to the acquisition.

The final purchase price allocations, adjusted from the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed as of December 31, 2008, are as follows (in thousands):

Net assets acquired

   $ 541,994    $ 542,248
             

The adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed as of December 31, 2008, compared to the final purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2009, related to information obtained subsequent to December 31, 2008, upon completion of the purchase price allocation procedures the Company identified at the acquisition date. The adjustments primarily related to completion of the Company’s review of CSK store locations, leases for stores to be closed and non-core inventories to be liquidated, as well as the evaluation of the timing and costs to be incurred under the Company’s indemnification obligations to certain former CSK officers in ongoing U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) investigations. Material adjustments arising from the finalization of these planned procedures and the receipt of updated information resulted in increases to reserves for pre-acquisition legal matters of $21.8 million (see Note 11 “Legal Matters”), exit activities, including store, distribution center, and administrative office closure reserves of $15.4 million (see Note 5 “Exit Activities”), and inventory reserves of $6.2 million, offset by the related effects of deferred tax assets which increased $26.9 million. The net impact of all adjustments since December 31, 2008, increased goodwill by $24.5 million, as discussed further in Note 3 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.

Estimated fair values of intangible assets acquired as of the date of acquisition are as follows (in thousands):

 

     Intangible assets    Weighted-Average
Useful Lives

(in years)

   $ 13,000    1.4

Table of Contents

The estimated values of operating leases with unfavorable terms compared with current market conditions totaled approximately $49.9 million. These liabilities have an estimated weighted-average useful life of approximately 7.7 years and are included in other liabilities. Favorable and unfavorable lease assets and liabilities will be amortized to selling, general and administrative expense over their expected lives which approximates the period of time that the favorable or unfavorable lease terms will be in effect. Trademarks and trade names have useful lives of one to three years and will be amortized to coincide with the anticipated conversion of CSK store brands to the O’Reilly branded locations over that period. (See Note 3 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”)

The final allocation of the purchase price includes $53.9 million of accrued liabilities for estimated costs to exit certain activities of CSK, including $14.8 million of exit costs associated with the planned closure of 51 CSK stores, $3.6 million of assumed liabilities related to CSK’s existing closed stores for 127 locations that were closed prior to the Company’s acquisition of CSK, $26.6 million of employee separation costs, and $8.9 million of exit costs associated with the planned closure of other administrative offices and certain distribution facilities. These activities have been accounted for in accordance with EITF No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination. The Company began to formulate its exit plans prior to the completion of the acquisition. Pursuant to these plans, over the past year the Company has reviewed all 1,342 acquired CSK stores to determine, from a location, lease, and facility standpoint, which stores would be closed. During the initial assessment, 33 CSK stores were identified as locations which would be merged with existing O’Reilly locations due to overlapping market coverage; it was determined that the remaining CSK store base would be evaluated by quantitative analysis of financial and market factors in addition to evaluations of the potential for further development of commercial business in those markets. Since the initial assessment, and as contemplated in its initial exit plan, the Company completed a detailed review of custom demographic reports, which included do-it-yourself customer forecasting, wholesale sales potential and strength and quantity of competitors in the respective markets on a store-by-store basis. Along with the demographic reports, the Company evaluated historical store financial results, store lease obligations, store floor plans, and locations previously identified by former CSK management as projected closures. This detailed assessment resulted in the identification of an additional 18 CSK locations for closure, which are scheduled to close by the end of 2009. The employee separation costs include anticipated payments, as required under various pre-existing employment arrangements with CSK employees at the time of acquisition, relating to the planned involuntarily termination of employees performing overlapping or duplicative functions. Administrative and distribution facility exit liabilities include costs to close a distribution center in Mendota Heights, Minnesota, which overlapped an existing O’Reilly distribution center and costs to close small distribution facilities located in Washington and California, which will not be utilized under O’Reilly’s distribution model. In addition, the administrative and distribution exit liabilities include costs to exit certain administrative office space at CSK’s headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona, as functions performed at these locations will be transitioned to the Company’s Springfield, Missouri, headquarters location. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had finalized all exit plans.

The CSK senior credit facility and term loan facility required repayment upon merger or acquisition and the entire amounts outstanding under both facilities were repaid by the Company on the July 11, 2008, acquisition date. The excess of the final purchase price over the estimated fair values of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed was recorded as goodwill.

 

  3. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if events or changes in business conditions indicate that impairment may exist. Goodwill is not amortizable for financial statement purposes. During the three and six months ending June 30, 2009, the Company recorded additional goodwill of approximately $22.4 million and $24.2 million, respectively, primarily due to changes in purchase price allocation in connection with the acquisition of CSK (see Note 2 “Business Combination”). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded amortization expense of $3.8 million and $8.0 million, respectively, related to amortizable intangible assets, which are included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded amortization expense of $0.04 million and $0.08 million, respectively, related to amortizable intangible assets, which are included in other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The components of the Company’s amortizable and unamortizable intangible assets were as follows on June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008 (in thousands):

In addition, the Company has recorded a liability for the values of operating leases with unfavorable terms totaling approximately $49.6 million and $49.9 million in the “other liabilities” section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, respectively. These leases have an estimated weighted average useful life of approximately 7.7 years. During the three and six months ending June 30, 2009, the Company recognized an amortized benefit of $2.1 million and $4.2 million, respectively, related to these unfavorable operating leases. None of the liabilities related to unfavorable lease terms relate to stores to be closed as discussed in Note 2 “Business Combinations”.

On July 11, 2008, in connection with the acquisition of CSK (see Note 2 “Business Combination”), the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a five-year $1.2 billion asset-based revolving credit facility arranged by Bank of America, N.A. (“BA”), which the Company used to refinance debt, fund the cash portion of the acquisition, pay for other transaction-related expenses and provide liquidity for the combined Company going forward. The Credit Agreement is comprised of a five-year $1.075 billion tranche A revolving credit facility and a five-year $125 million first-in-last-out revolving credit facility (FILO tranche), both of which mature on July 10, 2013. On the date of the transaction, the amount of the borrowing base available, as described in the Credit Agreement, under the credit facility was $1.05 billion, of which the Company borrowed $588 million. As of June 30, 2009, the amount of the borrowing base available under the credit facility was $1.197 billion of which the Company had outstanding borrowings of $676.3 million. The available borrowings under the credit facility are also reduced by stand-by letters of credit issued by the Company primarily to satisfy the requirements of workers compensation, general liability and other insurance policies. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had stand-by letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $74.5 million and the aggregate availability for additional borrowings under the credit facility was $445.8 million. As part of the Credit Agreement, the Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral and is subject to an ongoing consolidated leverage ratio covenant, with which the Company complied on June 30, 2009.

At June 30, 2009, borrowings under the tranche A revolver bore interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either a base rate plus 1.25% per annum or LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum, with each rate being subject to adjustment based upon certain excess availability thresholds. Borrowings under the FILO tranche bore interest, at the Company’s option, at a rate equal to either a base rate plus 2.50% per annum or LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum, with each rate being subject to adjustment based upon certain excess availability thresholds. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime lending rate established by BA from time to time and the federal funds effective rate as in effect from time to time plus 1.25%, subject to adjustment based upon remaining available borrowings. Fees related to unused capacity under the credit facility are assessed at a rate of 0.50% of the remaining available borrowings under the facility, subject to adjustment based upon remaining unused capacity. In addition, the Company pays letter of credit fees and other administrative fees in respect to the credit facility.

On each of July 24, 2008, October 14, 2008, and November 24, 2008, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BBT”), BA and/or SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”). The Company entered into these interest rate swap transactions to mitigate the risk associated with its floating interest rate based on LIBOR on an aggregate of $450 million of its debt that is outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The Company is required to make certain monthly fixed rate payments calculated on the notional amounts, while the applicable counter party is obligated to make certain monthly floating rate payments to the Company referencing the same notional amount. The interest rate swap transactions effectively fix the annual interest rate payable on these notional amounts of the Company’s debt, which may exist under the Credit Agreement plus an applicable margin under the terms of the same credit facility. The interest rate swap transactions have maturity dates ranging from November 28, 2009, through October 17, 2011.

On July 11, 2008, the Company executed the Third Supplemental Indenture (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”) to the 6 3/4% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), in which it agreed to become a guarantor, on a subordinated basis, of the $100 million principal amount of the Notes originally issued by CSK pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 19, 2005, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 30, 2005, and the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2006, by and between CSK Auto Corporation, CSK Auto, Inc. and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. On December 31, 2008, and effective as of July 11, 2008, the Company entered into the Fourth Supplemental Indenture in order to correct the definition of Exchange Rate in the Third Supplemental Indenture.

EITF No. 00-19, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock (“EITF No. 00-19”), provides guidance for distinguishing between permanent equity, temporary equity, and assets and liabilities. The embedded exchange feature in the Notes provides for the issuance of common shares to the extent the Company’s exchange obligation exceeds the debt principal. The share exchange feature and the embedded put options and call options in the debt instrument meet the requirements of EITF No. 00-19 to be accounted for as equity instruments. Incremental net shares for the Notes exchange feature were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2009; however, the incremental net shares for the Notes exchange feature were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as the impact would have been antidilutive.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants (“FSP APB 14-1”), which impacts the accounting associated with its Notes. FSP APB 14-1 requires the Company to recognize interest expense, including non-cash interest, based on the market rate for similar debt instruments without the conversion feature, which the Company determined to be 5.93%. Under FSP APB 14-1, the liability component of convertible debt was measured as of the acquisition date, using a 5.93% interest rate and an assumed 2.43-year life, as determined by the first date the holders may require the Company redeem the Note. The difference between the fair value of the Notes at acquisition date and the fair value of the liability component was $2.1 million, which was assigned to equity. The retrospective accounting impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 had on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, was not material.

The Notes are exchangeable, under certain circumstances, into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock. The Notes bear interest at 6.75% per year until December 15, 2010, and 6.5% until maturity on December 15, 2025. Prior to their stated maturity, the Notes are exchangeable by the holders under the following circumstances (as more fully described in the indenture under which the Notes were issued):

 

   

during any fiscal quarter (and only during that fiscal quarter) commencing after July 11, 2008, if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable exchange price of $36.17 for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter;

 

   

if the Notes have been called for redemption by the Company; or

 

   

upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions, such as a change in control.

If the Notes are exchanged, the Company will deliver cash equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged and the Company’s total exchange obligation and, in the event the Company’s total exchange obligation exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged, shares of the Company’s common stock in respect of that excess. The total exchange obligation reflects the exchange rate whereby each $1,000 in principal amount of the Notes is exchangeable into an equivalent value of 25.97 shares of the Company’s common stock and $60.61 in cash.

The noteholders may require the Company to repurchase some or all of the Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on December 15, 2010; December 15, 2015; or December 15, 2020, or on any date following a fundamental change as described in the indenture. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest on or after December 15, 2010, upon at least 35-calendar days notice.

  5. Exit Activities

The Company maintains reserves for closed stores and other properties that are no longer utilized in current operations. The Company accrues for closed property operating lease liabilities using a credit-adjusted discount rate to calculate the present value of the remaining noncancelable 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 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 exit costs from original estimates. Adjustments are made for changes in estimates in the period in which the changes become known.

As discussed more fully in Note 2 “Business Combination”, in connection with the acquisition of CSK, the Company recorded $14.8 million of exit costs associated with the planned closure of 51 CSK stores, assumed CSK’s existing closed stores liabilities of $3.6 million related to 127 locations that were closed prior to the Company’s acquisition of CSK, recorded $8.9 million of exit costs associated with the planned closure of CSK administrative office and certain distribution facilities and recorded $26.6 million of employee separation costs. These activities have been accounted for in accordance with EITF No. 95-3, Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.

The following is a summary of closure reserves for stores, administrative office and distribution facilities and reserves for employee separation costs at June 30, 2009, and December 31, 2008, (in thousands):

  6. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”), an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures of the Company’s derivative and hedging activities. SFAS No. 161 does not change the accounting for derivative and hedging activities, but rather provides more detailed disclosures on (i) how and why the Company uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Risk Management

As discussed in Note 4 “Long-Term Debt”, on each of July 24, 2008, October 14, 2008, and November 24, 2008, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions with BBT, BA and/or SunTrust to mitigate cash flow risk associated with the floating interest rate based on the one-month LIBOR rate on an aggregate of $450 million of debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement. The swap transactions have been designated as cash flow hedges with interest payments designed to offset the interest payments for borrowings under the Credit Agreement that correspond to notional amounts of the swaps. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, the fair value of the Company’s outstanding hedges are recorded as a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2009. Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), and any changes resulting from ineffectiveness of the hedge transactions would be recorded in current earnings. The Company’s hedging instruments have been deemed to be effective as of June 30, 2009. The fair value of the swap transactions at June 30, 2009, was a liability of $15.9 million ($9.7 million net of tax). The net amount is included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The table below represents the amount recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as being a payable to counterparties at June 30, 2009 (in thousands):

  7. Fair Value Measurements

The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”) at the beginning of its 2008 fiscal year. SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, describes the method used to appropriately measure fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands fair value disclosure requirements. This statement applies whenever other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements.

The fair value hierarchy established under SFAS No. 157 prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. 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 three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by SFAS No. 157 are set forth below:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

   

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

 

   

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant.

Table of Contents

The fair value of the interest rate swap transactions are based on the discounted net present value of the swap using third party quotes (level 2). Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), and changes resulting from ineffectiveness are recorded in current earnings.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques noted in SFAS No. 157. The three valuation techniques are identified in the table below and are as follows:

 

  a) Market approach – prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities

 

  b) Cost approach – amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost)

 

  c) Income approach – techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models)

  8. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Unrealized losses from interest rate swaps that qualify as cash flow hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $2.9 million with a corresponding tax liability of $1.2 million resulting in a net of tax effect of $1.7 million. The adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009, totaled $3.0 million with a corresponding tax liability of $1.2 million resulting in a net of tax effect of $1.8 million.

Changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, consisted of the following (in thousands):

  9. Stock-based Employee Compensation Plans

In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, Share Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”), the Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards at the time of the grant. Share-based payments include stock option awards issued under the Company’s employee stock option plan, director stock option 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 employee 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 market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Director options granted under the plans expire after seven years and are fully vested after six months. Employee options granted under the plans expire after ten years and typically vest 25% a 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 summarizes the stock option transactions during the first six months of 2009:

Exercisable at June 30, 2009

   5,104,067      $ 23.62
            

The Company recognized stock option compensation costs of approximately $3.6 million and $6.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, and recognized a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $1.4 million and $2.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively. The Company recognized stock option compensation costs of approximately $1.6 million and $2.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, with a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, 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 following weighted-average assumptions were used for grants issued in the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

 

     2009     2008  

Risk free interest rate

   1.01   2.67

Expected life

   3.7 Years    3.9 Years 

Expected volatility

   32.6   32.3

Expected dividend yield

   0   0

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted during the first six months of 2009 was $10.39 compared to $8.02 for the first six months of 2008. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards at June 30, 2009, was $39.5 million and the weighted-average period of time over which this cost will be recognized is 3.03 years.

Other Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors other share-based employee benefit plans including a contributory profit sharing and savings plan that covers substantially all employees, 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 and 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. 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 six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded approximately $2.7 million and $4.8 million of compensation cost for benefits provided under these plans and a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $1.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded approximately $1.9 million and $3.7 million of compensation cost for benefits provided under these plans and recognized a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Incremental net shares for the exchange feature of the Notes (see Note 4, “Long-Term Debt”) were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2009; however, the incremental net shares for the exchange feature of the Notes were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as the impact of the Notes would have been antidilutive.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not include in the computation of diluted earnings per share approximately 9.2 million and 5.9 million shares, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not include in the computation of diluted earnings per share approximately 9.5 million and 5.8 million shares, respectively. These shares represent underlying stock options not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion of such shares would be antidilutive.

 

  11. 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 will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, O’Reilly is involved in resolving the governmental investigations that were being conducted against CSK prior to its acquisition by O’Reilly. O’Reilly is also involved in certain legacy litigation wherein CSK is the defendant. Further details regarding such matters are described below.

CSK Pre-Acquisition Matters:

Governmental Investigations

An investigation by the DOJ regarding certain historical accounting practices of CSK, as previously reported, remains ongoing. However, as previously reported, an agreement was reached with the SEC to resolve its investigation into the same historical accounting practices of CSK. In connection with the settlement, the SEC issued an administrative order on May 26, 2009, finding that CSK violated the antifraud and other provisions of the federal securities laws and ordering CSK to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of those provisions (the “Order”). CSK consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any wrongdoing. There were no fines, disgorgement payments or other financial remedies associated with the settlement.

As previously reported, on March 5, 2009, the SEC filed a complaint against four (4) former employees of CSK for alleged conduct related to the historical accounting practices of CSK. On April 7, 2009, the DOJ filed a criminal complaint against two (2) of the same former employees of CSK. On July 22, 2009, the SEC filed a complaint against an additional former employee, 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. Mr. Jenkins is not alleged to have engaged in fraudulent conduct or otherwise violated any securities laws. The SEC and DOJ actions against the former CSK employees are still pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Arizona. As more fully described below, CSK has certain defense and indemnity obligations to those individuals. As a result of the CSK acquisition, O’Reilly expects to continue to incur ongoing legal fees related to the ongoing DOJ investigation and indemnity obligations for the litigation that has commenced by the DOJ and SEC. O’Reilly has reserved $21.0 million as an assumed liability in the Company’s allocation of the purchase price of CSK. O’Reilly has incurred approximately $0.9 million of such legal costs related to the government investigations and indemnity obligations in the first six months of 2009.

Several of CSK’s former directors or officers and current or former employees have been or may be interviewed as part of or become the subject of criminal, administrative and civil investigations and lawsuits. As described above, 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 O’Reilly is currently incurring legal fees on the behalf of these persons in relation to pending matters. Some of these indemnification obligations may not be covered by CSK’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policies.

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 flow could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of such matters, depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow 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 and cash flows.

AGA Shareholders, LLC vs. CSK Auto, Inc.

On February 14, 2006, AGA Shareholders, LLC (“AGA”) commenced suit against CSK Auto, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The case was transferred to the District of Arizona as case number 2:07-cv-00063-DGC. AGA alleged that CSK entered and then breached an agreement to purchase certain alternators and starters exclusively from AGA for a defined period of time and sought money damages. On November 21, 2008, the trial court granted summary judgment to plaintiff on liability for breach of the alleged requirements contract. Subsequent to the summary judgment finding, in April 2009, CSK settled with the Plaintiff on a portion of the claim relating to alleged amounts due with respect to products purchased prior to the termination of the contract by CSK. On May 19, 2009, O’Reilly agreed with AGA to settle all pending litigation related to this pre-acquisition contingency. As part of this Agreement, O’Reilly made a one-time payment of $3.8 million to AGA and the parties mutually released one another from all open claims. The liability associated with the pre-acquisition litigation was recorded as part of the purchase price allocation discussed in Note 2 “Business Combination”.

 

  12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (revised 2007) (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) applies to any transaction or other event that meets the definition of a business combination. Where applicable, SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is to be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The initial adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 states that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 were effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009, and are applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”), which requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. SFAS No. 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of FASB Statement No. 133 have been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161 beginning with its condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, which clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion and specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008, with early application prohibited. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP APB 14-1 beginning with its condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2009; however, the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Note 4 “Long-Term Debt”.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1”). This FSP requires quarterly disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values of all financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which were previously required only in annual financial statements and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 beginning with its condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The application of this guidance affects disclosures only and therefore did not have an impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS No. 165”). SFAS No. 165 incorporates into authoritative accounting literature certain guidance that already existed within generally accepted auditing standards. SFAS No. 165 addresses events which occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements. Under SFAS No. 165, as under current practice, an entity must record the effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date and must disclose, but not record, the effects of subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date. In addition, SFAS No. 165 requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 165 beginning with its condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Overview

We are one of the largest specialty retailers of automotive aftermarket parts, tools, supplies, equipment and accessories in the United States, selling our products to both do-it-yourself (“DIY”) customers and professional installers. At June 30, 2009, we operated 3,387 stores in 38 states. The table below depicts our store activity from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009:

Our stores carry an extensive product line, including the products bulleted 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;

 

 

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

 

 

a complete line of auto body paint and related materials, automotive tools and professional service equipment.

We view the following factors to be the key drivers of current and future demand for the products we sell:

Number of miles driven and number of registered vehicles:

Total miles driven in the U.S. heavily influences the demand for the repair and maintenance products we sell. The long-term trend in the number of vehicles on the road and the total miles driven in the U.S. has exhibited steady growth over the past decade. Between 1999 and 2007, the total number of miles driven in the United States increased at an annual rate of approximately 1.6%. According to the Department of Transportation, estimated total number of miles driven declined by 3.6% in 2008 and by 0.8% through the first five months of 2009. The softer decrease in miles driven so far in 2009 is due to lower fuel costs compared to those in 2008, but the overall decrease is a result of challenging macroeconomic conditions. The total number of registered vehicles on the road has increased from 201 million light vehicles in 1999 to 242 million in 2008. We believe that the decrease in miles driven in 2008 and expected continued decrease in 2009 is a short-term trend, and that long-term miles driven will increase in the future because of the increasing number of vehicles on the road.

Table of Contents

Average vehicle age:

Changes in the average age of vehicles on the road impacts demand for automotive aftermarket products. As the average age of a vehicle increases, the vehicle goes through more routine maintenance cycles requiring replacement parts such as brakes, belts, hoses, batteries and filters. The sales of these products are a key component of our business. The average age of the vehicle population has increased over the past decade from an average of 8.8 years for passenger cars and light trucks in 1999 to an average of 9.0 years in 2008. Based on estimates provided by the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (“AAIA”), new car sales decreased 5.9% between 1999 and 2007 for the light vehicle market; however, sales for the same market decreased 18.5% in 2008. In light of the dramatic decrease in the sale of new cars and light trucks in 2008, we expect that consumers will continue to choose to keep their vehicles longer and drive them at higher mileages and that this increasing trend in average vehicle age will continue.

Unperformed maintenance:

According to estimates compiled by the AAIA, the annual amount of unperformed or underperformed maintenance in the United States totaled $60 billion for 2007. This metric represents the degree to which routine vehicle maintenance recommended by the manufacturer is not being performed. Consumer decisions to avoid or defer maintenance affect demand for our products and the total amount of unperformed maintenance represents potential future demand. We believe that challenging macroeconomic conditions in 2008 contributed to the amount of unperformed maintenance; however, with the reduced number of new car sales, we believe the amount of underperformed maintenance is decreasing as people place a higher focus on maintaining their current vehicle with the expectation of keeping the vehicle longer than they would have in a better macroeconomic environment.

Product quality differentiation:

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. Consumers’ willingness to select products at a higher point on the value spectrum is a driver of sales and profitability in our industry. We believe that the average consumer’s tendency has been to “trade-down” to lower quality products during the recent challenging economic 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.

Our strategy continues to be the opening of new stores to achieve greater penetration in existing markets and expansion into new, contiguous markets. We plan to open approximately 150 stores in 2009. 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 feel that our dual market strategy of targeting both the do-it-yourself retail customer and commercial installer positions the company 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 generated by our existing operations and through available borrowings under our current credit facility.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States (“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. Management believes that the following policies are critical due to the inherent uncertainty of these matters and the complex and subjective judgments required to establish these estimates. Management continues to review these critical accounting policies and estimates to ensure that the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly in accordance with GAAP. However, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates and such differences could be material.

 

 

Vendor concessions – We receive concessions from our vendors through a variety of programs and arrangements, including co-operative advertising, allowances for warranties, merchandise allowances and volume purchase rebates. Co-operative advertising allowances that are incremental to our advertising program, specific to a product or event and identifiable for accounting purposes, are reported as a reduction of advertising expense in the period in which the advertising occurred. All other material vendor concessions are recognized as a reduction to the cost of inventory. Amounts receivable from vendors also include amounts due to us relating to vendor purchases and product returns. Management regularly reviews amounts receivable from vendors and assesses the need for a reserve for uncollectible amounts based on our evaluation of our vendors’ financial position and corresponding ability to meet their financial obligations. Based on our historical results and current assessment, we have not recorded a reserve for uncollectible amounts in our consolidated financial statements, and we do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that our ability to collect these amounts will differ from our expectations. The eventual ability of our vendors to pay us the obliged amounts could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and we may be exposed to losses or gains that could be material.

Table of Contents
 

Self-Insurance Reserves – We use a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms to provide for potential liabilities from workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle liability, property loss, and employee health care benefits. With the exception of employee health care benefit liabilities, which are limited by the design of these plans, we obtain third-party insurance coverage to limit our exposure for any individual claim. When estimating our self-insurance liabilities, we consider a number of factors, including historical claims experience and trend-lines, projected medical and legal inflation, and growth patterns and exposure forecasts. The assumptions made by management as they relate to each of these factors represent our judgment as to the most probable cumulative impact of each factor to our future obligations. Our calculation of our self-insurance liabilities requires management to apply judgment to estimate the ultimate cost to settle reported claims and claims incurred but not yet reported as of the balance sheet date and the application of alternative assumptions would result in a different estimate of these liabilities. Actual claim activity or development may vary from our assumptions and estimates, which may result in material losses or gains. As we obtain additional information that affects the assumptions and estimates we used to recognize liabilities for claims incurred in prior accounting periods, we adjust our self-insurance liabilities to reflect the revised estimates based on this additional information. The long-term portions of these liabilities are recorded at our estimate of their net present value. These liabilities do not have scheduled maturities, but we can estimate the timing of future payments based upon historical patterns. We could apply alternative assumptions regarding the timing of payments or the applicable discount rate that could result in materially different estimates of the net present value of the liabilities. If self-insurance reserves were changed 10% from our estimated reserves at December 31, 2008, the financial impact would have been approximately $8.6 million or 2.8% of pretax income for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

 

Accounts receivable – Management estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical loss ratios and other relevant factors. Actual results have consistently been within management’s expectations, and we do not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future that will require a significant change in the assumptions or estimates we use to calculate our allowance for doubtful accounts. However, if actual results differ from our estimates, we may be exposed to losses or gains. If the allowance for doubtful accounts were changed 30% from our estimated allowance at December 31, 2008, the financial impact would have been approximately $1.4 million or 0.4% of pretax income for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

 

Taxes – We operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to audit in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. We regularly review our potential tax liabilities for tax years subject to audit. The amount of such liabilities is based on various factors, such as differing interpretations of tax regulations by the responsible tax authority, experience with previous tax audits and applicable tax law rulings. Changes in our tax liability may occur in the future as our assessments change based on the progress of tax examinations in various jurisdictions and/or changes in tax regulations. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years presented. The estimates of our potential tax liabilities contain uncertainties because management must use judgment to estimate the exposures associated with our various tax positions and actual results could differ from our estimates. Alternatively, we could have applied assumptions regarding the eventual outcome of the resolution of open tax positions that would differ from our current estimates but that would still be reasonable given the nature of a particular position. Our judgment regarding the most likely outcome of uncertain tax positions has historically resulted in an estimate of our tax liability that is greater than actual results. While our estimates are subject to the uncertainty noted in the preceding discussion, our initial estimates of our potential tax liabilities have historically not been materially different from actual results except in instances where we have reversed liabilities that were recorded for periods that were subsequently closed with the applicable taxing authority.

 

 

Inventory Obsolescence and Shrink – Inventory, which consists of automotive hard parts, maintenance items, accessories and tools, is stated at the lower of cost or market. The extended nature of the life cycle of our products is such that the risk of obsolescence of our inventory is minimal. The products that we sell generally have application in our markets for a relatively long period of time in conjunction with the corresponding vehicle population. We have developed sophisticated systems for monitoring the life cycle of a given product and, accordingly, have historically been very successful in adjusting the volume of our inventory in conjunction with a decrease in demand. We do record a reserve to reduce the carrying value of our inventory through a charge to cost of sales in the isolated instances where we believe that the market value of a product line is lower than our recorded cost. This reserve is based on our assumptions about the marketability of our existing inventory and is subject to uncertainty to the extent that we must estimate, at a given point in time, the market value of inventory that will be sold in future periods. Ultimately, our projections could differ from actual results and could result in a material impact to our stated inventory balances. We have historically not had to materially adjust our obsolescence reserves due to the factors discussed above and do not anticipate that we will experience material changes in our estimates in the future.

We also record a reserve to reduce the carrying value of our perpetual inventory to account for quantities in our perpetual records above the actual existing quantities on hand caused by shrink. We estimate this reserve based on the results of our extensive and

Table of Contents

frequent cycle counting programs and periodic physical inventories at our stores and distribution centers. To the extent that our estimates do not accurately reflect the actual inventory shrinkage, we could potentially experience a material impact to our inventory balances. We have historically been able to provide a timely and accurate measurement of shrink and have not experienced material adjustments to our estimates. If shrink changed 10% from the estimate that we recorded based on our historical experience at December 31, 2008, the financial impact would have been approximately $0.9 million or 0.3% of pretax income for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill – In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, we evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that a potential impairment has occurred. As part of the evaluation, we review performance at the store level to identify any stores with current period operating losses that should be considered for impairment. A potential impairment has occurred if the projected future undiscounted cash flows realized from the best possible use of the asset are less than the carrying value of the asset. The estimate of cash flows includes management’s assumptions of cash inflows and outflows directly resulting from the use of that asset in operations. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Our impairment analyses contain estimates due to the inherently judgmental nature of forecasting long-term estimated cash flows and determining the ultimate useful lives and fair values of the assets. Actual results could differ from these estimates, which could materially impact our impairment assessment.

Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we review goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of these assets might exceed their current fair values. The Company has not historically recorded a material impairment to its goodwill or intangible assets. The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of our Company. Inherent in such fair value determinations are certain judgments and estimates, including estimates which incorporate assumptions marketplace participants would use in making their estimates of fair value. In the future, if events or market conditions affect the estimated fair value to the extent that an asset is impaired, the Company will adjust the carrying value of these assets in the period in which the impairment occurs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales increased $547 million, or 78% from $704 million in the second quarter of 2008, to $1.25 billion in the second quarter of 2009. Sales for the first six months of 2009 were $2.42 billion, an increase of $1.06 billion or 79% over sales for the first six months of 2008. The following table presents the components of the increase in sales for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 (in millions):

Comparable store sales for stores operating on the O’Reilly systems increased 7.1% for the first six months of 2009. Comparable store sales for stores operating on the legacy CSK systems

increased 1.8% for the first six months of 2009. Consolidated comparable store sales increased 5.2% for the first six months of 2009. 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, sales to team members and sales during the one to two week period the CSK branded stores are closed for conversion.

We believe that the increased sales achieved by our stores are the result of 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 the stores, compensation programs for all store team members that provide incentives for performance and our continued focus on serving professional installers. We opened 50 new O’Reilly branded stores in the three months ended June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, we operated 3,387 stores compared to 1,918 stores at June 30, 2008. Due to the acquisition of CSK, we anticipate new store unit growth to be limited to 150 net new stores in 2009, excluding the consolidation and closure of underperforming stores related to the acquisition of CSK.

Gross profit increased $287 million, or 90% from $317 million (or 45.0% of sales) in the second quarter of 2008 to $604 million (or 48.2% of sales) in the second quarter of 2009. Gross profit increased $0.54 billion, or 89%, from $0.61 billion (or 44.8% of sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2008, to $1.15 billion (or 47.5% of sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in gross profit dollars was primarily a result of the increase in sales resulting from the acquisition of CSK and sales from new stores. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales is primarily the result of changes in product mix, lower product acquisition cost, distribution system improvements, sales from acquired CSK stores and a favorable pricing environment on certain commodity based products. Our product mix was improved by the continued customization of our merchandise selections at each store based on vehicle demographics and customer demands in each store’s market. The product buying synergies realized were due to improved negotiating leverage with vendors as a result of large purchase volume increases driven by the CSK acquisition. Improvements in our distribution system were the result of capital projects designed to create operating expense efficiencies. Gross margin percentages on sales at CSK stores are typically higher than existing O’Reilly branded stores primarily because a greater portion of these sales are made to DIY customers, which typically have higher gross margin percentages, and overall price levels that are specific to the markets in which the acquired stores are located. The reductions in commodity prices, without corresponding decreases in retail pricing is expected to normalize over the remainder of the year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $225 million, or 98%, from $229 million (or 32.5% of sales) in the second quarter of 2008 to $454 million (or 36.3% of sales) in the second quarter of 2009. SG&A increased $440 million, or 99%, from $443 million (or 32.8% of sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $883 million (or 36.6% of sales) for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in SG&A as a percentage of sales was attributable to the addition of the acquired CSK stores, which have a higher expense structure than the core O’Reilly store base, and the additional store payroll required to complete the ongoing product-line changeovers for acquired CSK stores.

Interest expense increased $10 million, from $1 million (or 0.1% of sales) during the second quarter of 2008 to $11 million (or 0.9% of sales) in the second quarter of 2009. Interest expense increased $21 million, from $2 million (or 0.2% of sales) during the six months ended June 30, 2008, to $23 million (or 1.0% of sales) during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in interest expense is the result of borrowings under our new asset-based revolving credit facility that were used to fund the CSK acquisition and ongoing capital expenditures related to the integration of the operations of CSK.

Our provision for income taxes increased $21 million to $54 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to $33 million for the same period in 2008. Our effective tax rate was 38.7% of income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2009 versus 37.4% for the same period in 2008. Our effective tax rate was 38.6% of income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2009, versus 37.3% for the same period in 2008. The increase in effective tax rate is the result of our acquisition of CSK and the generally higher effective tax rates in most states where the acquired CSK stores are located.

As a result of the impacts discussed above, net income for the second quarter increased $30 million from $56 million in 2008 (7.9% of sales) to $86 million in 2009 (6.8% of sales). Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009, increased $46 million from $102 million for the same period in 2008 (7.6% of sales) to $148 million in 2009 (6.1% of sales).

Our diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2009 increased 29% to $0.62 on 137.5 million shares compared to $0.48 for the second quarter of 2008 on 116.5 million shares. Diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2009, increased 23% to $1.08 on 136.8 million shares compared to $0.88 for the same period in 2008 on 116.4 million shares. Our second quarter and year-to-date results include a charge related to the July 11, 2008, acquisition of CSK. The non-cash charge to amortize the value assigned to CSK’s trade names and trademarks, which will be amortized over the next approximately one and a half years, to coincide with the anticipated conversion of CSK branded store locations to O’Reilly branded locations, is included in SG&A. Adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding the impact of this acquisition related charge, was $0.63 for the second quarter of 2009, reflecting an increase of 31%, from the same period a year ago. For the first six months of 2009, adjusted diluted earnings per share, excluding the impact of the acquisition related charge, increased 25% to $1.10 from the same period one year ago. The impact of the individual acquisition related charge was as follows:

The acquisition-related adjustment to EPS in the above paragraph and table present certain financial information 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 adjusted net income and earnings per share excluding the acquisition-related charge provides meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the Company’s ongoing core operations. Management excludes this item in judging its performance and believes this non-GAAP information is useful to gain an understanding of the recurring factors and trends affecting our business. Material limitations of this non-GAAP measure are that such measures do not reflect actual GAAP amounts and amortization of acquisition-related trade names and trademarks reflect charges to net income and earnings per share that will recur over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from one to three years. We compensate for such limitations by presenting, in the table above, the accompanying reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

LIQUIDITY

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $215.5 million for the first six months of 2008 to $153.0 million for the first six months of 2009. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to an increase in net inventory investment at the acquired CSK stores, partially offset by an increase in net income adjusted for the effect of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges and deferred income taxes. Net inventory investment reflects our investment in inventory net of the amount of accounts payable to vendors. CSK branded average per-store inventory increased from $417,000 at the date of acquisition to $528,000 as of June 30, 2009.

Net cash used in investing activities increased from $125.9 million during the first six months of 2008 to $231.2 million for the comparable period in 2009. The increase in cash used is primarily due to capital expenditures related to the integration of CSK, which include the purchase of properties for future distribution centers and costs associated with the conversion and rebranding of CSK stores to the O’Reilly Brand.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $108.1 million from $19.9 million used in financing activities during the first six months of 2008 to $88.2 million provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2009. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is primarily the result of the proceeds from borrowings under our asset-based credit facility and the issuance of common stock related to the Company’s stock option plans, which is partially offset by reduced payments on long-term debt and capital leases.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

On July 11, 2008, in connection with the acquisition of CSK (see Note 2 “Business Combination” to the condensed consolidated financial statements), we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) for a five-year $1.2 billion asset-based revolving credit facility arranged by Bank of America, N.A. (“BA”), which we used to refinance debt, fund the cash portion of the acquisition, pay for other transaction-related expenses and provide liquidity for the combined Company going forward. The Credit Agreement is comprised of a five-year $1.075 billion tranche A revolving credit facility and a five-year $125 million first-in-last-out revolving credit facility (FILO tranche), both of which mature on July 10, 2013. On the date of the transaction, the amount of the borrowing base available, as described in the Credit Agreement, under the credit facility was $1.05 billion, of which we borrowed $588 million. As of June 30, 2009, the amount of the borrowing base available under the credit facility was $1.197 billion of which we had outstanding borrowings of $676.3 million. The available borrowings under the credit facility are also reduced by stand-by letters of credit issued by us primarily to satisfy the requirements of workers compensation, general liability and other insurance policies. As of June 30, 2009, we had stand-by letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $74.5 million and the aggregate availability for additional borrowings under the credit facility was $445.8 million. As part of the Credit Agreement, we have pledged substantially all of our assets as collateral and we are subject to an ongoing consolidated leverage ratio covenant, with which we complied on June 30, 2009.

Table of Contents

Borrowings under the tranche A revolver bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either a base rate plus 1.25% per annum or LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum, with each rate being subject to adjustment based upon certain excess availability thresholds. Borrowings under the FILO tranche bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either a base rate plus 2.50% per annum or LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum, with each rate being subject to adjustment based upon certain excess availability thresholds. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime lending rate established by BA from time to time and the federal funds effective rate as in effect from time to time plus 1.25%. Fees related to unused capacity under the credit facility are assessed at a rate of 0.50% of the remaining available borrowings under the facility, subject to adjustment based upon remaining unused capacity. In addition, we pay customary letter of credit fees and other administrative fees in respect of the credit facility.

On each of July 24, 2008, October 14, 2008, and November 24, 2008, we entered into interest rate swap transactions with Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BBT”), BA and/or SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”). We entered into these interest rate swap transactions to mitigate the risk associated with our floating interest rate based on LIBOR on an aggregate of $450 million of our debt that is outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We are required to make certain monthly fixed rate payments calculated on the notional amounts, while the applicable counter party is obligated to make certain monthly floating rate payments to us referencing the same notional amount. The interest rate swap transactions effectively fix the annual interest rate payable on these notional amounts of our debt, which may exist under the Credit Agreement plus an applicable margin under the terms of the same credit facility. The interest rate swap transactions have maturity dates ranging from November 28, 2009, through October 17, 2011.

On July 11, 2008, we agreed to become a guarantor, on a subordinated basis, of the $100 million principal amount of 6 3/4% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) originally issued by CSK. The Notes are exchangeable, under certain circumstances, into cash and shares of our common stock. The Notes bear interest at 6.75% per year until December 15, 2010, and 6.5% until maturity on December 15, 2025. Prior to their stated maturity, the Notes are exchangeable by the holders only under the following circumstances (as more fully described in the indenture under which the Notes were issued):

 

   

during any fiscal quarter (and only during that fiscal quarter) commencing after July 11, 2008, if the last reported sale price of our common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable exchange price of $36.17 for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter;

 

   

if we have called the Notes for redemption; or

 

   

upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions, such as a change in control.

Upon exchange of the Notes, we will deliver cash equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged and our total exchange obligation and, in the event our total exchange obligation exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged, shares of our common stock in respect of that excess. The total exchange obligation reflects the exchange rate whereby each $1,000 in principal amount of the Notes is exchangeable into an equivalent value of 25.9697 shares of our common stock and $60.6061 in cash. Incremental net shares for the Notes exchange feature were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended June 30, 2009; however, the incremental net shares for the Notes exchange feature were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as the impact would have been antidilutive.

The noteholders may require us to repurchase some or all of the Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on December 15, 2010; December 15, 2015; or December 15, 2020, or on any date following a fundamental change as described in the indenture. We may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest on or after December 15, 2010, upon at least 35-calendar days notice.

During the second quarter of 2009, we opened 50 net, new stores. We plan to open approximately 42 additional stores during the remainder of 2009. The funds required for such planned expansions are expected to be provided by cash generated from operating activities and our asset-based revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of 2009, we converted 120 CSK stores.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

At June 30, 2009, we had long-term debt with maturities of less than one year of $10.8 million and long-term debt with maturities over one year of $785.9 million, representing a total increase in all outstanding debt of $63.9 million from December 31, 2008.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations (revised 2007) (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) applies to any transaction or other event that meets the definition of a business combination. Where applicable, SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase. In addition, SFAS No. 141(R) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement is to be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Our initial adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51 (“SFAS No. 160”), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. SFAS No. 160 states that accounting and reporting for minority interests will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. The calculation of earnings per share will continue to be based on income amounts attributable to the parent. SFAS No. 160 applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial statements, but will affect only those entities that have an outstanding noncontrolling interest in one or more subsidiaries or that deconsolidate a subsidiary. The provisions of SFAS No. 160 were effective for us beginning January 1, 2009, and would be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS No. 161”), which requires entities that utilize derivative instruments to provide qualitative disclosures about their objectives and strategies for using such instruments, as well as any details of credit-risk-related contingent features contained within derivatives. SFAS No. 161 also requires entities to disclose additional information about the amounts and location of derivatives located within the financial statements, how the provisions of FASB Statement No. 133 have been applied, and the impact that hedges have on an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 161 beginning with our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

In May 2008, the FASB issued Financial Statement Pronouncements Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP APB 14-1”). The FSP APB 14-1 clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion and specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components of certain convertible debt instruments in a manner that reflects the issuer’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 requires bifurcation of a component of the debt, classification of that component in equity and the accretion of the resulting discount on the debt to be recognized as part of interest expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008, with early application prohibited. We adopted the provisions of FSP APB 14-1 beginning with our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2009; however, the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Please see Note 4 “Long-Term Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1”). This FSP requires quarterly disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair values of all financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which were previously required only in annual financial statements and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 beginning with our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The application of this guidance affects disclosures only and therefore did not have an impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS No. 165”). SFAS No. 165 incorporates into authoritative accounting literature certain guidance that already existed within generally accepted auditing standards. Subsequent events guidance addresses events which occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements. Under SFAS No. 165, as under current practice, an entity must record the effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date and must disclose but not record the effects of subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the balance sheet date. In addition, SFAS No. 165 requires disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 165 beginning with our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

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

Table of Contents

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. Store sales and profits have historically been higher in the second and third quarters (April through September) than in the first and fourth quarters of the year.

INTERNET ADDRESS AND ACCESS TO SEC FILINGS

Our Internet address is www.oreillyauto.com. Interested readers can access our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. Such reports are generally available on the day they are filed. Additionally, we will furnish interested readers upon request and free of charge, a paper copy of such reports.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are subject to interest rate risk to the extent we borrow against our credit facilities with variable interest rates. Primarily as a result of borrowings in 2008 to fund the acquisition of CSK, we have interest rate exposure with respect to the $676.3 million outstanding balance on our variable interest rate debt at June 30, 2009; however, from time to time, we have entered into interest rate swaps to reduce this exposure. On each of July 24, 2008, October 14, 2008, and November 24, 2008, we reduced our exposure to changes in interest rates by entering into interest rate swap contracts (“the Swaps”) with a total notional amount of $450 million. The Swaps represent contracts to exchange a floating rate for fixed interest payments periodically over the life of the Swap agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The notional amount of the swap is used to measure interest to be paid or received and does not represent the amount of exposure to credit loss. The Swaps have been designated as effective cash flow hedges. If interest rates increased or decreased by 100 basis points, annualized interest expense and cash payments for interest would increase or decrease by approximately $2.3 million ($1.4 million after tax), based on our exposure to interest rate changes on variable rate debt that is not covered by the Swaps. This analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in an environment of adversely changing interest rates. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates and to the extent that we have amounts outstanding under our asset-based credit facility, management would likely take further actions that would seek to mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk.

 

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 provide 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

On July 11, 2008, the Company completed its acquisition of CSK, at which time CSK became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company considers the transaction material to results of operations, cash flows and financial position from the date of the acquisition through June 30, 2009. The Company has evaluated CSK’s internal control over financial reporting as part of its overall assessment of internal control over financial reporting at December 31, 2008.

Other than the integration of CSK, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - 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 will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, O’Reilly is involved in resolving the governmental investigations that were being conducted against CSK prior to its acquisition by O’Reilly. O’Reilly is also involved in certain legacy litigation wherein CSK is the defendant. Further details regarding such matters are described below.

CSK Pre-Acquisition Matters:

Governmental Investigations

An investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. (the “DOJ”) regarding certain historical accounting practices of CSK, as previously reported, remains ongoing. However, as previously reported, an agreement was reached with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to resolve its investigation into the same historical accounting practices of CSK. In connection with the settlement, the SEC issued an administrative order on May 26, 2009, finding that CSK violated the antifraud and other provisions of the federal securities laws and ordering CSK to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of those provisions (the “Order”). CSK consented to the issuance of the Order without admitting or denying any wrongdoing. There were no fines, disgorgement payments or other financial remedies associated with the settlement.

As previously reported, on March 5, 2009, the SEC filed a complaint against four (4) former employees of CSK for alleged conduct related to the historical accounting practices of CSK. On April 7, 2009, the DOJ filed a criminal complaint against two (2) of the same former employees of CSK. On July 22, 2009, the SEC filed a complaint against an additional former employee, 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. Mr. Jenkins is not alleged to have engaged in fraudulent conduct or otherwise violated any securities laws. The SEC and DOJ actions against the former CSK employees are still pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Arizona. As more fully described below, CSK has certain defense and indemnity obligations to those individuals. As a result of the CSK acquisition, O’Reilly expects to continue to incur ongoing legal fees related to the ongoing DOJ investigation and indemnity obligations for the litigation that has commenced by the DOJ and SEC. O’Reilly has reserved $21.0 million as an assumed liability in the Company’s allocation of the purchase price of CSK. O’Reilly has incurred approximately $0.9 million of such legal costs related to the government investigations and indemnity obligations in the first six months of 2009.

Several of CSK’s former directors or officers and current or former employees have been or may be interviewed as part of or become the subject of criminal, administrative and civil investigations and lawsuits. As described above, 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 O’Reilly is currently incurring legal fees on the behalf of these persons in relation to pending matters. Some of these indemnification obligations may not be covered by CSK’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policies.

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 flow could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of such matters, depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow 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 and cash flows.

AGA Shareholders, LLC vs. CSK Auto, Inc.

On February 14, 2006, AGA Shareholders, LLC (“AGA”) commenced suit against CSK Auto, Inc. in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The case was transferred to the District of Arizona as case number 2:07-cv-00063-DGC. AGA alleged that CSK entered and then breached an agreement to purchase certain alternators and starters exclusively from AGA for a defined period of time and sought money damages. On November 21, 2008, the trial court granted summary judgment to plaintiff on liability for breach of the alleged requirements contract. Subsequent to the summary judgment finding, in April 2009, CSK settled
