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.

4^th 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.

4^th Quarter and Full-Year Comparable Store Sales Results

Comparable store sales are calculated based on the change in sales for U.S. stores open at least one year and exclude sales of specialty machinery, sales to independent parts stores, and sales to Team Members, as well as sales from Leap Day for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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.
