Executive Summary

OReilly Automotive reported a solid fourth quarter to end 2024, with USD 4.10 billion in revenue, a gross profit of USD 2.10 billion and a net income of USD 551.1 million. The company delivered an operating margin of 18.0% and a net margin of 13.5%, underpinned by strong gross margin (51.3%) and a robust EBITDA of USD 863.2 million. Free cash flow (FCF) reached USD 334.0 million, driven by USD 624.5 million of cash flow from operations and USD 290.5 million of capital expenditures. Despite top-line momentum, earnings per share (EPS) declined year-over-year by approximately 93% on a reported basis and fell 16.7% quarter-over-quarter, driven by changes in share count and the timing of expenses. The balance sheet shows sizable debt and a negative reported stockholders’ equity position, with total debt at USD 7.92 billion and net debt around USD 7.79 billion, alongside modest liquidity metrics (current ratio 0.71, quick ratio 0.09). The company generated positive free cash flow and continued to repurchase shares (USD 472.0 million) while not paying dividends, signaling an emphasis on capital allocation toward debt reduction and share buybacks given the leverage profile. Management commentary was not included in the provided transcript, limiting formal guidance; however, the business remains a large-scale, US-focused specialty retailer with a resilient margin structure and meaningful cash generation. Investors should monitor leverage trajectory, working capital dynamics (notably elevated inventory days outstanding), and any formal guidance on capital allocation and store-growth plans going into 2025.
