NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
June 30, 1999
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 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 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, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1999. 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, 1998.
2. Debt
In connection with the acquisition of Hi-Lo Automotive, Inc. ("Hi/LO") in
January 1998, the Company replaced its lines of credit with new, unsecured
credit facilities totaling $175 million. The facilities are comprised of a $125
million five-year revolving credit facility which includes a $5 million
sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $50 million five-year term
loan facility. These credit facilities are guaranteed by the subsidiaries of the
Company and currently bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate
("LIBOR") plus 0.50%. The Company is required to meet various financial
covenants as defined in the credit agreement.
3. Secondary Offering
On March 31, 1999, the Company completed a public offering of 3,340,000 shares
of common stock, 3,000,000 of which were issued by the Company resulting in net
proceeds of $106.8 million. A portion of the proceeds was used to repay a
significant amount of the outstanding indebtedness of the Company under its
credit facility. The remaining portion of the proceeds will be used to fund
future expansion. On April 7, 1999, the Company issued 501,000 shares of common
stock related to the Company's portion of the over-allotment option resulting in
net proceeds to the Company of $17.9 million.
4. Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which established new
standards for the way public companies report information about operating
segments in annual and interim financial statements. The Company operates in a
single segment and accordingly, no segment disclosures are warranted for the
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.
5. Comprehensive Income
As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" which established new rules for the reporting and display
of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130 had no impact on the
Company's financial statements.

6. Business Acquisition
Effective January 31, 1998, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common
shares of Hi-Lo Automotive, Inc. and its subsidiaries for $49.3 million or $4.35
per common share. This acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase by
recording the assets and liabilities of Hi/LO at their estimated fair values at
the acquisition date. The excess of net assets acquired over the purchase price,
which totaled approximately $9.7 million, has been applied as a reduction to the
acquired property and equipment.
The consolidated results of operations of the Company include the operations of
Hi/LO from the acquisition date. Unaudited Pro Forma consolidated results of
operations assuming the purchase was made at the beginning of each period are
shown below: (amounts in thousands, except per share data)

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Unless otherwise indicated, "we," "us," "our" and similar terms, as well as
references to the "Company" or "O'Reilly" refer to O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. and
its subsidiaries.
Results of Operations
Product sales for the second quarter of 1999 increased by $30.9 million, or
18.7%, over product sales for the second quarter of 1998. Product sales for the
first six months of 1999 increased by $79.0 million, or 27.9% over product sales
for the first six months of 1998. This is due to the opening of 14 net, new
O'Reilly stores during the last quarter of 1998 and opening 24 net, new stores
during the first and second quarters of 1999, in addition to a 9.3% increase in
comparable store product sales (O'Reilly stores increased 4.3% and HiLo stores
increased 16.9%). At June 30, 1999, we operated 515 stores compared to 462
stores at June 30, 1998.
Gross profit increased 23.6% from $66.2 million (or 40.1% of product sales) in
the second quarter of 1998 to $81.8 million (or 41.7% of product sales) in the
second quarter of 1999. Gross profit for the first six months increased 30.7%
from $116.9 million (or 41.2% of product sales) in 1998 to $152.8 million or
(42.1% of product sales) in 1999.
Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses ("OSG&A expenses")
increased $9.7 million from $52.5 million (or 31.7% of product sales) in the
second quarter of 1998 to $62.2 million (or 31.7% of product sales) in the
second quarter of 1999. OSG&A expenses increased $24.6 million from $92.3
million (32.6% of product sales) in the first six months of 1998 to $116.9
million (or 32.2% of product sales) in the first six months of 1999. The dollar
amount increase in OSG&A expenses resulted from the addition of team members and
resources in order to support the increased level of our operations.
Other expense decreased by $800,000 in the second quarter of 1999 compared to
the second quarter of 1998 and increased by $40,000 for the first six months of
1999 compared to the first six months of 1998. The overall decrease in other
expense is due to the repayment of a significant amount of our debt, with
proceeds from the secondary stock offering, thereby reducing interest expense.
Our estimated provision for income taxes increased from 38.0% of income before
income taxes in the second quarter and the first six months of 1998 to 38.3% in
the same period in 1999. The increase in the effective income tax rate was
primarily due to changes in the mix of taxable income among the states in which
we operate.
Principally as a result of the foregoing, net income increased from $7.7 million
or 4.6% of product sales in the second quarter of 1998 to $11.8 million or 6.0%
of product sales in the second quarter of 1999 and from $13.5 million or 4.8% of
products sales in the first six months of 1998 to $20.4 million or 5.6% of
product sales in the first six months of 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash of $16.7 million was provided by operating activities for the first six
months of 1999 as compared to $3.3 million of cash used by operating activities
for the first six months of 1998. This increase was principally the result of
increases in net income, accounts payable and accruals, offset by increases in
inventory and amounts receivable from vendors. These increases are the result of
the addition of new stores and a distribution center and increased sales levels
in existing and newly opened stores and the results of product line conversions.
Net cash used in investing activities has decreased from $67.6 million in 1998
to $24.9 million in 1999 primarily due to the acquisition of Hi/LO in early
1998, partially offset by the proceeds of the sale of property and equipment.
Cash provided by financing activities has decreased from $70.0 million in the
first six months of 1998 to $10.6 million in the first six months of 1999. The
decrease was primarily due to the scheduled principal payments on debt as well
as the substantial reduction of our outstanding indebtedness with the proceeds
of the secondary stock offering.
Aside from the 24 net, new stores opened in the first six months of 1999, we
plan to open an additional 56 net new stores in 1999. The funds required for
such planned expansions will be provided by operating activities, short-term
investments and the existing and available bank credit facilities.
Management believes that the cash expected to be generated from operating
activities, existing cash and short-term investments, existing bank credit
facilities and trade credit will be sufficient to fund our short and long-term
capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
<PAGE>
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONT.)
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. As a result, we do not believe our operations have been
materially affected by inflation.
Our business is seasonal to some extent primarily as a result of the impact of
weather conditions on store sales. Store sales and profits have historically
been higher in the second and third quarters (April through September) of each
year than in the first and fourth quarters.
Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure
We have appointed an internal Year 2000 issue project manager and remediation
team and have adopted a four phase approach of assessment, remediation, testing
and contingency planning. The scope of the project includes our review of all
internal software, hardware and operating systems and an assessment of the risk
to our business posed by any lack of vendor preparedness with respect to the
Year 2000 issue. We have completed the initial assessment of all internal
systems, are progressing with the remediation and testing phases, and have begun
contingency planning for information technology systems. We believe that this
approach of assessment (including prioritization by business risk), remediation
(including conversions to new software), testing of necessary changes, and
contingency planning will minimize the business risk of the Year 2000 issue from
internal systems.
We are utilizing internal personnel to correct, replace and test our software
and plan to complete the Year 2000 project no later than September 1, 1999. The
total cost of the Year 2000 project is estimated at $200,000. Of the total
project cost, approximately $25,000 represents the purchase of replacements or
upgrades of software and hardware, which will be capitalized. We will expense
the remaining portion of the project cost as incurred during 1999. As of June
30, 1999, we had spent approximately $125,000 on the Year 2000 project.
We have established ongoing communications with all our significant vendors to
monitor their progress in resolving their issues related to the Year 2000 issue.
Many of such vendors have informed us that they are making substantial progress
in resolving their Year 2000 issue. However, the most likely worst case scenario
for us would entail failure of one or more of our significant vendors to
continue operations (even temporarily) following transition to the year 2000. We
have also contacted suppliers of products significant to our operations
containing embedded chips to monitor their progress in resolving issues related
to the Year 2000 issue. No material issues have been identified to date as a
result of these contacts. We cannot guarantee that our business partners will
adequately address issues related to the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner or
that the failure of our business partners to correct these issues would not have
a material adverse effect on the Company.
We have completed contingency plans to be used in the event of a business
interruption caused by the Year 2000 issue for some, but not all, of our
internal information technology systems. Such plans are being developed for some
of our other systems. Elements of our contingency plans include switching
vendors and utilizing back-up systems that do not rely on computers.
The cost and time estimated for the Year 2000 project are based on our best
current estimates. We cannot guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
that planned results will be achieved.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are
forward-looking statements. These statements discuss, among other things,
expected growth, store development and expansion strategy, business strategies,
future revenues and future performance. The forward-looking statements are
subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions including, but not limited to
competitive pressures, demand for our products, the market for auto parts, the
economy in general, inflation, consumer debt levels and the weather. Actual
results may materially differ from anticipated results described in these
forward-looking statements. Certain risks are discussed in Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

O'REILLY AUTOMOTIVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Exhibit 99.1 - Certain Risk Factors
The following factors could affect our actual results, including revenues,
expenses and net income, and could cause them to differ from any forward-looking
statements made by or on behalf of us.
Competition
We compete with a large number of retail and wholesale automotive aftermarket
product suppliers. The distribution of automotive aftermarket products is a
highly competitive industry, particularly in the more densely populated market
areas served by us. Competitors include national and regional automotive parts
chains, independently owned parts stores (some of which are associated with
national auto parts distributors or associations), automobile dealerships, mass
or general merchandise, discount and convenience chains that carry automotive
products, independent warehouse distributors and parts stores and national
warehouse distributors and associations. Some of our competitors are larger and
have greater financial resources than us.
No Assurance of Future Growth
We believe that our ability to open additional stores at an accelerated rate
will be a significant factor in achieving our growth objectives for the future.
Our ability to accomplish this growth is dependent, in part, on matters beyond
our control, such as weather conditions, zoning and other issues related to new
store site development, the availability of qualified management personnel and
general business and economic conditions. No assurance can be given that our
current growth rate can be maintained.
Dependence Upon Key and Other Personnel
The success of our company has been largely dependent on the efforts of certain
key personnel, including David E. O'Reilly, Lawrence P. O'Reilly, Charles H.
O'Reilly, Jr., Rosalie O'Reilly Wooten, Ted F. Wise, and Greg Henslee. The loss
of the services of one or more of these individuals could have a material
adverse effect on the business and results of operations. Additionally, in order
to successfully implement and manage our growth strategy, we will be dependent
upon our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to attract such personnel.
Concentration of Ownership by Management
Our executive officers and directors as a group beneficially own a substantial
percentage of the outstanding shares of our common stock. These officers and
directors have the ability to exercise effective voting control of the company,
including the election of all of our directors, and to effectively determine the
vote on any matter being voted on by our shareholders, including any merger,
sale of assets or other change in control of the company.
