Sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, increased $152 million, or 10%, to $1.71 billion from $1.56 billion for the same period one year ago. Gross profit for the second quarter increased to $872 million (or 50.8% of sales) from $780 million (or 49.9% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 12%. Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the second quarter increased to $576 million (or 33.6% of sales) from $536 million (or 34.3% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 7%. Operating income for the second quarter increased to $296 million (or 17.3% of sales) from $244 million (or 15.6% of sales) for the same period one year ago, representing an increase of 22%.

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, increased $31 million, or 21%, to $177 million (or 10.3% of sales) from $146 million (or 9.3% of sales) for the same period one year ago. Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter increased 37% to $1.58 on 112 million shares versus $1.15 for the same period one year ago on 127 million shares.

"We are very pleased to again report another record breaking quarter highlighted by a 37% increase in diluted earnings per share to $1.58, representing our 18th consecutive quarter of 15% or greater adjusted diluted earnings per share growth," commented Greg Henslee, President and CEO. "We generated an impressive 6.5% increase in comparable store sales, which exceeded the top end of our quarterly guidance range of 4% to 6%. Our unwavering commitment to providing consistent, excellent customer service drove outstanding sales results across all of our markets. We achieved a record quarterly gross margin of 50.8%, primarily driven by improvements in acquisition costs, product mix and pricing management. Our relentless focus on expense control, along with our strong gross margin results, generated a record quarterly operating margin of 17.3%, which was a 170 basis point improvement over the prior year. We continue to believe in the strength of the long-term demand drivers in our industry, and we are establishing our third quarter comparable store sales guidance at 4% to 6% and reiterating our full-year comparable store sales guidance of 3% to 5%. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of our 60,000 Team Members for their hard work and commitment to O'Reilly's continued success."

As previously announced, on May 29, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors approved a resolution to increase the authorization under the Company's share repurchase program by an additional $500 million, raising the cumulative authorization under the share repurchase program to $3.5 billion.  During the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 2.5 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $107.61 for a total investment of $274 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 5.0 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $100.10 for a total investment of $502 million. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter and through the date of this release, the Company repurchased an additional 0.5 million shares of its common stock at an average price per share of $113.66 for a total investment of $56 million. The Company has repurchased a total of 37.6 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program since the inception of the program in January of 2011 and through the date of this release, at an average price of $79.27, for a total aggregate investment of $2.98 billion. As of the date of this release, the Company had approximately $521 million remaining under its current share repurchase authorizations.

2nd Quarter and Year-to-Date Comparable Store Sales Results

Comparable store sales are calculated based on the change in sales for stores open at least one year and exclude sales of specialty machinery, sales to independent parts stores, sales to Team Members and sales from the acquired VIP stores, due to the significant change in the business model and lack of historical data.  Comparable store sales increased 6.5% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, versus 2.5% for the same period one year ago.  Comparable store sales increased 3.6% for the first six months of 2013, versus 4.9% for the same period one year ago.

Non-GAAP Information

(4) Calculated as accounts payable divided by inventory.

(5) Calculated as the last 12 months adjusted net income, adjusted to exclude the benefit related to the former CSK officer clawback in the amount of $3 million ($2 million, net of tax), divided by average total shareholders' equity. Average total shareholders' equity is calculated as the average of total shareholders' equity for the trailing four quarters used in determining the denominator.

(6) Calculated as the last 12 months adjusted net income, adjusted for the item discussed in footnote (5), divided by average total assets. Average total assets are calculated as the average total assets for the trailing four quarters used in determining the denominator.

(7) Calculated as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for the period.

(8) Calculated as sales less jobber sales, divided by weighted-average square foot. Weighted-average sales per square foot are weighted to consider the approximate dates of store openings or expansions.
