NOTE 3 – GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is reviewed annually on December 31 for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in business conditions indicate that impairment may exist. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded a decrease in goodwill of approximately $0.5 million, primarily due to adjustments in the provision for income taxes relating to exercises of stock options acquired in the CSK acquisition. The Company did not record any goodwill impairment during the three months ended March 31, 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, and 2009, the Company recorded amortization expense of $2.8 million and $4.1 million, respectively, related to amortizable intangible assets, which are included in "Other assets" on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The components of the Company's amortizable and unamortizable intangible assets were as follows on March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

In addition, the Company recorded a liability for the values of operating leases with unfavorable terms, acquired in the acquisition of CSK, totaling approximately $49.6 million. These leases have an estimated weighted-average useful life of approximately 7.7 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized an amortized benefit of $1.2 million and $2.1 million, respectively, related to these unfavorable operating leases. The carrying amount, net of accumulated amortization, of the unfavorable lease liability is $35.3 million and $36.5 million as of March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2009, respectively, and is shown in the "Other liabilities" section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On July 11, 2008, in connection with the acquisition of CSK, the Company entered into a credit agreement for a five-year $1.2 billion asset-based revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") arranged by Bank of America, N.A. ("BA"). The Credit Facility is comprised of a five-year $1.075 billion tranche A revolving credit facility and a five-year $125 million first-in-last-out revolving credit facility (FILO tranche), both of which mature on July 10, 2013. As of March 31, 2010, the amount of the borrowing base available under the Credit Facility was $1.197 billion of which the Company had outstanding borrowings of $593.2 million. The available borrowings under the Credit Facility are also reduced by stand-by letters of credit issued by the Company primarily to satisfy the requirements of workers compensation, general liability and other insurance policies. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had stand-by letters of credit outstanding of $72.2 million and the aggregate availability for additional borrowings under the Credit Facility was $531.2 million. As part of the Credit Facility, the Company has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral and is subject to an ongoing consolidated leverage ratio covenant, with which the Company complied on March 31, 2010.

At March 31, 2010, borrowings under the tranche A revolver bore interest, at the Company's option, at a rate equal to either a base rate plus 1.25% per annum or LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum, with each rate being subject to adjustment based upon certain excess availability thresholds. Borrowings under the FILO tranche bore interest, at the Company's option, at a rate equal to either a base rate plus 2.50% per annum or LIBOR plus 3.50% per annum, with each rate being subject to adjustment based upon certain excess availability thresholds. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime lending rate established by BA from time to time or the federal funds effective rate as in effect from time to time plus 0.50%, subject to adjustment based upon remaining available borrowings. Fees related to unused capacity under the Credit Facility are assessed at a rate of 0.375% of the remaining available borrowings under the facility, subject to adjustment based upon remaining unused capacity. In addition, the Company pays letter of credit fees and other administrative fees in respect to the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2010, the Company had borrowings of $143.2 million under its Credit Facility, which were not covered under an interest rate swap agreement, with interest rates ranging from 2.50% to 4.50%. At December 31, 2009, the Company had borrowings of $278.8 million under its Credit Facility, which were not covered under an interest rate swap agreement, with interest rates ranging from 2.50% to 4.50%.

On each of July 24, 2008, October 14, 2008, and January 21, 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions with Branch Banking and Trust Company ("BBT"), BA, SunTrust Bank ("SunTrust") and/or Barclays Capital ("Barclays"). The Company entered into these interest rate swap transactions to mitigate the risk associated with its floating interest rate based on 30-day LIBOR on an aggregate of $450 million of its debt that is outstanding under the Credit Facility. The Company is required to make certain monthly fixed rate payments calculated on the notional amounts, while the applicable counter party is obligated to make certain monthly floating rate payments to the Company referencing the same notional amount. The interest rate swap transactions effectively fix the annual interest rate payable on these notional amounts of the Company's debt, which exists under the Credit Facility plus an applicable margin under the terms of the Credit Facility. The interest rate swap transactions have maturity dates ranging from August 1, 2010, through October 17, 2011.

The counterparties, transaction dates, effective dates, applicable notional amounts, effective index rates and maturity dates of each of the interest rate swap transactions which existed as of March 31, 2010, are included in the table below:

On July 11, 2008, the Company executed the Third Supplemental Indenture (the "Third Supplemental Indenture") to the 6 3/4% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2025 (the "Notes"), in which it agreed to become a guarantor, on a subordinated basis, of the $100 million principal amount of the Notes originally issued by CSK pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of December 19, 2005, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 30, 2005, and the Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of July 27, 2006, by and between CSK Auto Corporation, CSK Auto, Inc. and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. On December 31, 2008, and effective as of July 11, 2008, the Company entered into the Fourth Supplemental Indenture in order to correct the definition of Exchange Rate in the Third Supplemental Indenture.

The Notes are exchangeable, under certain circumstances, into cash and shares of the Company's common stock. The Notes bear interest at 6.75% per year until December 15, 2010, and 6.50% until maturity on December 15, 2025. Prior to their stated maturity, the Notes are exchangeable by the holders only under the following circumstances (as more fully described in the indenture under which the Notes were issued):

 

   

During any fiscal quarter (and only during that fiscal quarter) commencing after July 11, 2008, if the last reported sale price of our common stock is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable exchange price of $36.17 for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter;

 

   

If the Notes have been called for redemption by the Company; or

 

   

Upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions, such as a change in control.

If the Notes are exchanged, the Company will deliver cash equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged and the Company's total exchange obligation and, in the event the Company's total exchange obligation exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged, shares of the Company's common stock in respect of that excess. The total exchange obligation reflects the exchange rate whereby each $1,000 in principal amount of the Notes is exchangeable into an equivalent value of 25.97 shares of our common stock and $60.61 in cash. Incremental net shares for the Notes exchange feature were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2010; however, the incremental net shares for the Notes exchange feature were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as the impact would have been antidilutive.

The noteholders may require the Company to repurchase some or all of the Notes for cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest on December 15, 2010; December 15, 2015; or December 15, 2020, or on any date following a fundamental change as described in the indenture. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes for cash at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus any accrued and unpaid interest on or after December 15, 2010, upon at least 35-calendar days notice. The Company intends to redeem the Notes in December 2010, and plans to fund the redemption with available borrowings under its Credit Facility.

The Company distinguishes its financial instruments between permanent equity, temporary equity, and assets and liabilities. The share exchange feature and the embedded put and call options within the Notes are required to be accounted for as equity instruments. The difference between the fair value of the Notes at acquisition date and the fair value of the liability component on that date was $2.1 million, which was assigned to equity, and is fixed until the Notes are settled. The principal amount of the Notes as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $100 million and the net carrying amount of the Notes as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $100.5 million and $100.7 million, respectively. The unamortized premium on the Notes was $0.5 million as of March 31, 2010, which will be amortized over a period of approximately 0.7 year. The unamortized premium on the Notes as of December 31, 2009 was $0.7 million. The if-converted value of the Notes as of March 31, 2010, was $108.4 million. The net interest expense related to the Notes for both the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, was $1.5 million resulting in an effective interest rate of 6.0%.

NOTE 5 – EXIT ACTIVITIES

The Company maintains reserves for closed stores and other properties that are no longer utilized in current operations. The Company accrues for closed property operating lease liabilities using a credit-adjusted discount rate to calculate the present value of the remaining noncancelable lease payments, contractual occupancy costs and lease termination fees after the closing date, net of estimated sublease income. The closed property lease liabilities are expected to be paid over the remaining lease terms, which currently extend through April 2023. The Company estimates sublease income and future cash flows based on the Company's experience and knowledge of the market in which the closed property is located, the Company's previous efforts to dispose of similar assets and existing economic conditions. Adjustments to closed property reserves are made to reflect changes in estimated sublease income or actual contracted exit costs, which vary from original estimates. Adjustments are made for material changes in estimates in the period in which the changes become known.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Interest Rate Risk Management

As discussed in Note 4, on each of July 24, 2008, October 14, 2008, and January 21, 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions with BBT, BA, SunTrust and/or Barclays to mitigate cash flow risk associated with the floating interest rate, based on the one month LIBOR rate on an aggregate of $450 million of the debt outstanding under the Credit Facility. The swap transactions have been designated as cash flow hedges with interest payments designed to offset the interest payments for borrowings under the Credit Facility that correspond to notional amounts of the swaps. The fair values of the Company's outstanding hedges are recorded as a liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Changes in fair value are recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss", and any changes resulting from ineffectiveness of the hedge transactions would be recorded in current earnings. The Company's hedging instruments have been deemed to be highly effective as of March 31, 2010. The fair value of the swap transactions at March 31, 2010, was a payable of $11.6 million ($7.1 million net of tax). The fair value of the swap transactions at December 31, 2009, was a payable of $13.1 million ($8.0 million net of tax). The net amount of each is included as a component of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss."

The table below represents the fair values of the Company's hedged items at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 (in thousands):

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company uses the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure the fair value of certain of its financial instruments. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are set forth below:

 

   

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

   

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace.

 

   

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value from the perspective of a market participant.

The fair value of the interest rate swap transactions are based on the discounted net present value of the swap using third party quotes (level 2). Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), and changes resulting from ineffectiveness are recorded in current earnings.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are based on one or more of three valuation techniques. The three valuation techniques are identified in the table below and are as follows:

 

  a) Market approach – prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities

 

  b) Cost approach – amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost)

 

  c) Income approach – techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on market expectations (including present value techniques, option-pricing and excess earnings models)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows (in thousands):

The Company has determined that the estimated fair value of its asset-based revolving credit facility approximates the carrying amount of $593.2 million. The valuation was determined by consulting investment bankers, the Company's observations of the value tendered by counterparties moving into and out of the facility and an analysis of the changes in credit spreads for comparable companies in the industry.

SHARE-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PLANS AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS

NOTE 9 – SHARE-BASED EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION PLANS AND OTHER BENEFIT PLANS

The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards at the time of the grant. Share-based payments include stock option awards issued under the Company's employee stock option plan, director stock option plan, stock issued through the Company's employee stock purchase plan and stock awarded to employees through other benefit programs.

Stock Options

The Company's employee stock-based incentive plan provides for the granting of stock options for the purchase of common stock of the Company to directors and certain key employees of the Company. Options are granted at an exercise price that is equal to the market value of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant. Director options granted under the plan expire after seven years and are fully vested after six months. Employee options granted under the plan expire after ten years and typically vest 25% a year over four years. The Company records compensation expense for the grant date fair value of option awards evenly over the vesting period under the straight-line method. The following table summarizes the stock option activity during the first three months of 2010:

 

     Shares     Weighted-

Exercisable at March 31, 2010

   5,068,456      $ 24.42
            

The Company recognized stock option compensation costs of approximately $3.6 million and $3.3 million in the first three months of 2010 and 2009, respectively, and recognized a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of assumptions, including expected volatility, expected life, the risk free rate and the expected dividend yield. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company's stock. Expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data and experience to estimate the expected life of options granted. The risk free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the United States Treasury rates in effect at the time the options are granted for the options' expected life.

 

The following weighted-average assumptions were used for grants issued in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009:

 

     2010     2009  

Risk free interest rate

   2.11   1.63

Expected life

   3.6  Years    3.6  Years 

Expected volatility

   33.9   31.9

Expected dividend yield

   0   0

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during the first three months of 2010 was $12.22 compared to $9.00 for the first three months of 2009. The remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards at March 31, 2010, was $37.8 million, and the weighted-average period of time over which this cost will be recognized is 2.7 years.

Other Employee Benefit Plans

The Company sponsors other share-based employee benefit plans including a contributory profit sharing and savings plan that covers substantially all employees, an employee stock purchase plan which permits all eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at 85% of the fair market value and a performance incentive plan under which the Company's senior management is awarded shares of restricted stock that vest equally over a three-year period. Compensation expense recognized under these plans is measured based on the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of award and is recorded over the vesting period. During the first three months of 2010, the Company recorded approximately $0.5 million of compensation cost for benefits provided under these plans and a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $0.2 million. During the first three months of 2009, the Company recorded approximately $2.1 million of compensation cost for benefits provided under these plans and recognized a corresponding income tax benefit of approximately $0.8 million.

Incremental net shares for the exchange feature of the Notes, (see Note 4), were included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2010; however, the incremental net shares for the exchange feature of the Notes were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as the impact would have been antidilutive.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not include in the computation of diluted earnings per share approximately 1.2 million and 5.0 million shares, respectively. These shares represent underlying stock options and restricted shares not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because inclusion of such shares would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 11 – LEGAL MATTERS

O'Reilly Litigation

O'Reilly is currently involved in litigation incidental to the ordinary conduct of the Company's business. Although the Company cannot ascertain the amount of liability that it may incur from any of these matters, it does not currently believe that, in the aggregate, these matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarter or annual period. In addition, O'Reilly is involved in resolving the governmental investigations that were being conducted against CSK prior to its acquisition by O'Reilly.

CSK Pre-Acquisition Matters – Governmental Investigations and Actions

As previously reported, the pre-acquisition Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") investigation of CSK, which commenced in 2006, was settled in May 2009 by administrative order without fines, disgorgement or other financial remedies. The Department of Justice ("DOJ")'s criminal investigation into these same matters as previously disclosed remains ongoing. In addition, the previously reported SEC complaint against four (4) former employees of CSK for alleged conduct related to CSK's historical accounting practices remains ongoing. However, the SEC will not amend its pleadings to add the estate of one of the four (4) former employees who died in January, 2010. The action filed by the SEC on July 22, 2009 against Maynard L. Jenkins, the former chief executive officer of CSK seeking reimbursement from Mr. Jenkins of certain bonuses and stock sale profits pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as previously reported, also continues. The previously reported DOJ criminal complaint against two (2) of the former employees of CSK remains ongoing only with regard to CSK's former Chief Financial Officer due to the death of the other former employee referenced above.

With respect to the ongoing DOJ investigation into CSK's pre-acquisition accounting practices discussed above, attorneys from the DOJ have indicated that as a result of conduct alleged against the former employees, as set forth in the pleadings in United States vs. Fraser, et. al., U.S.Dist.Ct., Dist. of Ariz.; Case No: 2:09-cr-00372-SRB, the DOJ is considering whether to file criminal charges against CSK. O'Reilly is engaged in discussions with the DOJ to attempt to resolve the matter. O'Reilly cannot predict the outcome of these discussions at this time. O'Reilly intends to vigorously defend against any such charges if filed. The probability of criminal charges being filed against CSK or the magnitude of the costs to resolve these issues cannot now be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not reflect an accrued liability for this contingency.

Several of CSK's former directors or officers and current or former employees have been or may be interviewed as part of or become the subject of criminal, administrative and civil investigations and lawsuits. As described above, certain former employees of CSK are the subject of civil and criminal litigation commenced by the government. Under Delaware law, the charter documents of the CSK entities and certain indemnification agreements, CSK has certain obligations to indemnify these persons and O'Reilly is currently incurring legal fees on the behalf of these persons in relation to pending matters. Some of these indemnification obligations and other related costs may not be covered by CSK's insurance policies.

As a result of the CSK acquisition, O'Reilly expects to continue to incur ongoing legal fees related to the ongoing DOJ investigation of CSK and indemnity obligations for the litigation that has commenced by the DOJ and SEC of CSK's former employees. O'Reilly has a remaining reserve of $20.7 million at March 31, 2010, which was primarily recorded as an assumed liability in the Company's allocation of the purchase price of CSK. O'Reilly paid approximately $1.8 million of legal costs related to the government investigations and indemnity obligations in the first quarter of 2010.

The foregoing governmental investigations and indemnification matters are subject to many uncertainties, and, given their complexity and scope, their final outcome cannot be predicted at this time. It is possible that in a particular quarter or annual period the Company's results of operations and cash flow could be materially affected by an ultimate unfavorable resolution of such matters, depending, in part, upon the results of operations or cash flow for such period. However, at this time, management believes that the ultimate outcome of all of such regulatory proceedings and other matters that are pending, after consideration of applicable reserves and potentially available insurance coverage benefits not contemplated in recorded reserves, should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

NOTE 12 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

With the exception of those stated below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements since those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, that are of material significance, or have potential material significance, to the Company.

In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events (SFAS No. 165), which provides guidance to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. FASB ASC 855 is effective for interim or fiscal periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 855 beginning with its condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. On February 24, 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") number 2010-09 ("ASU 2010-09"), Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, which is effective immediately. The ASU amends FASB ASC 855, to address certain implementation issues related to an entity's requirement to perform and disclose subsequent events procedures. The amendments that are specifically relevant include the requirement that SEC filers evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued, and the exemption of SEC filers from disclosing the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09 beginning with its condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March, 31, 2010. The adoption of ASC 855 and ASU 2010-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
