Recent Company History

Over the last several months, O’Reilly has consistently highlighted record performance and disciplined capital returns. The October 2025 Q3 release showed solid sales, margins, and EPS growth but the stock moved only slightly, and even dipped -0.1% despite positive metrics. Scheduling announcements in October 2025 and January 2026 around earnings and conference calls generated minimal price impact. Against this backdrop, today’s full-year 2025 report with continued comparable sales gains and EPS growth extends an established track record of steady execution.

Analysis

This announcement highlights O’Reilly’s 33rd consecutive year of comparable store sales growth, with full-year comps of 4.7% and diluted EPS up 10% to $2.97. Record 2025 revenue of $17.78 billion, strong operating income, and $2.8 billion in operating cash support ongoing investment and buybacks totaling $2.10 billion. Investors may track execution versus 2026 guidance for EPS of $3.10–3.20, planned 225–235 net new stores, and management’s ability to manage inflation-driven SG&A pressures.

Key Terms

free cash flow, non-gaap, ebitdar, gaap, +4 more
8 terms
free cash flow financial
"Free cash flow (2) | | $1.8 billion to $2.1 billion"
Free cash flow is the amount of money a company has left over after paying all its expenses and investing in its business, like buying equipment or updating facilities. It shows how much cash is available to reward shareholders, pay down debt, or save for future growth. This helps investors understand if a company is financially healthy and able to grow.
non-gaap financial
"This release contains certain financial information not derived in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These items include adjusted debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, and rent (“EBITDAR”) and free cash flow."
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
ebitdar financial
"These items include adjusted debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation, and rent (“EBITDAR”) and free cash flow."
EBITDAR stands for Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, and Rent; it measures a company's operating profit before the cost of financing, taxes, accounting write-downs, and lease or rent payments. For investors, it reveals how much cash a business generates from its core activities without the effects of capital structure or rent commitments — similar to checking how much money a store makes from selling goods before paying for the building, loan interest, or taxes.
gaap financial
"The Company does not, nor does it suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information."
GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.
nonqualified employee stock options financial
"received a grant of nonqualified employee stock options to buy 29,256 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $98.85 per share"
A nonqualified employee stock option is a company grant that gives an employee the right to buy a set number of shares at a fixed price for a limited time. Unlike special tax-favored options, the difference between the market price and the fixed price is treated like regular pay when the employee exercises the option, so taxes and employer withholding apply at that moment. Investors care because these options can increase the number of shares outstanding (dilution) and create payroll-related cash flows and future selling pressure as employees exercise and sell shares — think of them as employee coupons to buy stock that affect both company ownership and reported costs.
restricted share award financial
"he received 3,733 shares of common stock as a restricted share award at $98.85 per share"
A restricted share award is a grant of company stock given to an employee or executive that only becomes permanent ownership if certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of it as a gift locked in a box that opens when the rules are satisfied; for investors, these awards can dilute existing shares and signal management’s incentives and confidence in future performance.
operating lease technical
"Current portion of operating lease liabilities | | 439,907 | | 419,213"
An operating lease is a contract where a company rents an asset—like equipment, vehicles or office space—rather than buying it, similar to leasing a car for regular use without owning it. Investors care because lease payments affect a company’s cash flow and reported profits, and modern accounting usually shows long-term rental commitments as a right-of-use asset and matching liability, which changes how debt and asset levels are compared across firms.
weighted-average common shares outstanding financial
"Weighted-average common shares outstanding – basic | | 844,239 | | 865,101"
Weighted-average common shares outstanding is the average number of a company’s common shares that were available during a reporting period, adjusted for shares issued, repurchased, or converted so the count reflects time-weighted changes. Think of it like averaging how many slices of a pie were on the table over a meal: it makes per-share measures such as earnings per share meaningful and comparable by accounting for changes in the share count, which affects investor ownership and valuation.

  • Fourth quarter comparable store sales growth of 5.6%, full-year increase of 4.7%
  • 13% increase in fourth quarter diluted earnings per share to $0.71, full-year increase of 10% to $2.97
  • $2.8 billion net cash provided by operating activities in 2025

SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Feb. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. (the “Company” or “O’Reilly”) (Nasdaq: ORLY), a leading retailer in the automotive aftermarket industry, today announced record revenue and earnings for its fourth quarter and full-year ended December 31, 2025. The results represent 33 consecutive years of comparable store sales growth and record revenue and operating income for O’Reilly since becoming a public company in April of 1993.

4th Quarter Financial Results

Brad Beckham, O’Reilly’s CEO, commented, “I would like to thank our over 93,000 Team Members for their tremendous hard work and commitment while delivering a strong finish to 2025. Our Team continues to drive share gains on both sides of our business through excellent customer service and industry-leading parts availability, resulting in our fourth quarter comparable store sales growth of 5.6%. Our top-line results, coupled with strong gross margin performance, drove a 12% increase in operating profit dollars and a 13% increase in diluted earnings per share for the fourth quarter. We are pleased with our Team’s ability to capitalize on the investments we are making in our business and manage operating costs to provide exceptional customer service and capture market share; however, SG&A expenses again exceeded our expectations in the fourth quarter due to pressure from heightened inflation in team member health care and casualty claim costs. We remain intensely focused on managing expenses and mitigating these cost pressures but will always prioritize delivering the service levels and parts availability in our stores that are critical to winning share and driving industry-leading results.”

Sales for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, increased $319 million, or 8%, to $4.41 billion from $4.10 billion for the same period one year ago. Gross profit for the fourth quarter increased 9% to $2.29 billion (or 51.8% of sales) from $2.10 billion (or 51.3% of sales) for the same period one year ago. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the fourth quarter increased 7% to $1.46 billion (or 33.0% of sales) from $1.36 billion (or 33.3% of sales) for the same period one year ago. Operating income for the fourth quarter increased 12% to $829 million (or 18.8% of sales) from $739 million (or 18.0% of sales) for the same period one year ago.

Net income for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, increased $54 million, or 10%, to $605 million (or 13.7% of sales) from $551 million (or 13.5% of sales) for the same period one year ago. Diluted earnings per common share for the fourth quarter increased 13% to $0.71 on 848 million shares versus $0.63 on 870 million shares for the same period one year ago. The Company completed a 15-for-1 forward stock split on June 10, 2025, and accordingly all share and per share data in current and comparable periods have been adjusted to reflect the split.

Full-Year Financial Results

Mr. Beckham concluded, “Thanks to our Team’s dedication to providing unsurpassed levels of customer service, 2025 is now O’Reilly’s 33rd consecutive year of annual comparable store sales growth and record revenue and operating income. Our full-year comparable store sales result of 4.7% was at the high end of our revised guidance range of 4.0% to 5.0%. This solid top-line performance translated into a full-year earnings per share increase of 10%. Team O’Reilly also achieved our expansion targets during 2025, opening 207 net, new stores in the U.S., Mexico and Canada, and a new, state-of-the-art greenfield distribution center in Virginia that unlocks exciting store growth opportunities in the mid-Atlantic region. I would like to congratulate Team O’Reilly on their strong performance in 2025, and we look forward to continuing our track record of long-term profitable growth in 2026.”

Sales for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased $1.07 billion, or 6%, to $17.78 billion from $16.71 billion for the same period one year ago. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased 7% to $9.17 billion (or 51.6% of sales) from $8.55 billion (or 51.2% of sales) for the same period one year ago. SG&A for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased 8% to $5.71 billion (or 32.1% of sales) from $5.30 billion (or 31.7% of sales) for the same period one year ago. Operating income for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased 6% to $3.46 billion (or 19.5% of sales) from $3.25 billion (or 19.5% of sales) for the same period one year ago.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased $152 million, or 6%, to $2.54 billion (or 14.3% of sales) from $2.39 billion (or 14.3% of sales) for the same period one year ago. Diluted earnings per common share for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased 10% to $2.97 on 856 million shares versus $2.71 on 881 million shares for the same period one year ago.

4th Quarter and Full-Year Comparable Store Sales Results

Online sales for ship-to-home orders and pick-up-in-store orders for U.S. stores open at least one year are included in the comparable store sales calculation. Comparable store sales increased 5.6% for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, on top of 4.4% for the same period one year ago. Comparable store sales increased 4.7% for the year ended December 31, 2025, on top of 2.9% for the same period one year ago.
