O\u2019Reilly Automotive, Inc., announced record revenues and earnings for its year ended December 31, 2011.\u00a0 Sales for the year increased $391 million, or 7%, to $5.79 billion from $5.40 billion for the same period one year ago. \u00a0Obviously, achieving record revenues during an economic climate as uncertain as ours is no simple feat.<\/p>\n

O’Reilly Automotive is a company based on close relationships.\u00a0 As can be seen through the listings of the senior executives above, though the company\u00a0 is publicly traded, the O\u2019Reilly family drives the company as it maintains the seats of power.\u00a0 Interestingly, though not unique, this is one of the few nationally growing companies that boast Co-Presidents.\u00a0 The close ties between the Chairmen and the Co-Presidents produce a valuable and sharp strategic focus which has helped the company grow through aggressive expansion as well as through major acquisition, most notably when the company went national with the addition of CSK Auto.<\/p>\n

Four years ago, on April 1, 2008, O\u2019Reilly Automotive signed a deal to acquire all of CSK’s common stock for approximately one billion dollars, including $500 million of debt. \u00a0O’Reilly began gradually rebranding the stores which gave CSK its name. \u00a0C<\/span>hecker Auto Parts, S<\/span>chucks Auto Supply, and K<\/span>ragen Auto Parts stores, as well as CSK\u2019s final major acquisition, Murray’s Discount Auto Stores \u00a0became O’Reilly Auto Parts stores.\u00a0 \u00a0The acquisition of the 1,349 CSK units gave O\u2019Reilly a true Western and thus a national presence.<\/p>\n

The acquisition of CSK virtually coincided with the then perceived onset of the recession.\u00a0 The Chain Store Guide database of Discount and Specialty Retailers reveals that at the end of December 2008, O\u2019Reilly operated 3,285 locations.\u00a0 Since then the smallest yearly gain in units was 136 in 2009, as the company has increased the size of its incremental growth annually.\u00a0 The company ended 2011 with 3,740 locations and just announced that at the end of its first quarter at the end of March 2012, the company was operating 3,809 stores.\u00a0 This focus indicates aggressive growth despite the uncertain economy with no end in sight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
