Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Plan Participants and the Plan Administrator of O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. Profit Sharing and Savings Plan
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits (modified cash basis) of O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits (modified cash basis) for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits (modified cash basis) of the Plan at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits (modified cash basis) for the year ended December 31, 2023, in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting described in Note 1.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Supplemental Schedule Required by ERISA
The accompanying supplemental schedule (modified cash basis) of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2023 (referred to as the “supplemental schedule”), has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The information in the supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the information, we evaluated whether such information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2023
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The items identified below are summaries of the significant accounting policies of the O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. (the “Company”) Profit Sharing and Savings Plan (the “Plan”):
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than United States generally accepted accounting principles. Under this basis, employer and participant contributions are recorded when received rather than in the period to which they relate, and benefits and expenses are recorded when paid rather than when incurred.
Valuation of Investments and Income Recognition
Investments held by the Plan are stated at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Please refer to Note 3 for further discussion and disclosures related to fair value measurements.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded as earned. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation/(depreciation) includes the Plan’s gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued, but unpaid, interest. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned. The notes receivable from participants are secured by the vested account balances of the borrowing participants. No allowance for credit losses was recorded as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the plan administrator deems the participant loan to be in default, a deemed distribution is recorded, which is a taxable event for the participant. A loan offset is recorded to reduce the participant’s account balance by the outstanding amount of the loan when the loan has been determined to be in default and the participant account incurs a distributable event as defined in the Plan agreement.
Administrative Expenses
The Plan did not pay trustee administrative fees for the plan years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, as provided by the Plan’s provisions. The Plan did pay Plan related expenses incurred for consultation with third-party investment advisors and legal counsel for the plan years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. All additional administrative and investment related expenses were paid by the Plan participants. Expenses relating to purchases, sales, or transfers of the Plan’s investments are charged to the particular investment fund, to which the expenses relate.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements, accompanying notes, and supplemental schedule. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements
No recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements have occurred since those discussed in the Plan’s Annual Report on Form 11-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, that are of a material significance, or have potential material significance, to the Plan.

NOTE 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
General
The following description of the Plan is provided for general information only. Participants should refer to the plan agreement for a complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
The Plan is a defined contribution pension plan providing retirement benefits to substantially all U.S. employees of the Company who have attained age 21. The Plan is sponsored by the Company and is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Please refer to the Plan agreement for complete information.
Trust Services
The trustee function of the Plan is performed by Fidelity Management Trust Company (“Fidelity” or the “Trustee”). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Plan investments were held by the Trustee, in various funds. The Trustee has authority for the purchase and sale of investments and makes payments from the Plan based on participant direction, subject to certain restrictions as specified in the trust agreement, the Plan document, and ERISA.
Contributions
Participants may contribute up to 100% of their annual eligible compensation, as defined in the Plan document, to the Plan up to $22.5 thousand and $20.5 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Participants 50 years of age or older may contribute up to $30 thousand and $27 thousand of their annual eligible compensation, as defined in the Plan document, to the Plan for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Eligible team members are automatically enrolled in the Plan at a contribution rate of 2% of their annual eligible compensation. Eligible team members may choose not to participate by declaring their intentions to do so prior to their initial enrollment date.
Eligible participants may make permitted voluntary rollover contributions to the Plan, subject to Plan requirements.
The Plan provides for a Company match of 100% of the first 2% of each participant’s voluntary contribution and 25% of the next 4% of each participant’s voluntary contribution, funded in conjunction with the employee contribution. Prior to the 2023 Plan year, a participant generally must be employed on December 31 to receive that year’s Company matching contribution, with the matching contribution funded annually at the beginning of the subsequent year following the year in which the matching contribution was earned. Additionally, the Company may make discretionary profit sharing contributions to the Plan annually, as determined by its Board of Directors, up to a maximum aggregate Company contribution of 25% of the participants’ annual eligible compensation. Participants are eligible for these discretionary contributions after at least 1,000 hours of service in a 12-consecutive month period of employment and generally must be employed on the last day of the Plan year. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not make any discretionary contributions to the Plan. Participants can elect to allocate their contributions, as well as the employer contributions, to various equity, bond, fixed income or target date funds, O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. common stock, or a combination thereof.
Vesting
Participants are immediately vested in all voluntary contributions and actual earnings on these contributions. Employer contributions, and earnings on employer contributions, vest based on years of service with the Company at a rate of 33% per year from years two through four and are 100% vested after four years of service. In addition, upon a participant’s death or disability, as defined in the Plan document, all employer contributions, and earnings on employer contributions, become 100% vested.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and actual earnings and with an allocation of the Company’s contribution and actual Plan earnings. Allocations of Company matching contributions are based on participant contributions and allocation of Company discretionary contributions are based on participant compensation. Allocations of Plan earnings are based on participants’ account balances. The non-vested portions of terminated participants’ account balances are transferred to a Plan controlled forfeiture account. Each participant account is also charged with an allocation of administrative fees and investment fees.
Forfeiture Account
The Plan controlled forfeiture account, which is funded from the non-vested portions of terminated participants’ account balances, serves to pay future administrative expenses and reduce employer contributions. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, $5.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in forfeitures were used to reduce employer contributions. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, less than $1 thousand and $6 thousand, respectively, in forfeitures were used to pay Plan related consultation expenses. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Plan retained $2.8 million in forfeitures.
7
Participant Loans
Participants are entitled to borrow from the Plan up to the lesser of $50 thousand or 50% of their vested account balance at a rate equal to one percentage point above the prime interest rate in effect, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, on the last business day of the month prior to the date the loan is made. Funds borrowed from the plan as well as the applicable interest are repaid by payroll deductions over a period no longer than 15 years and are secured by the participant’s vested account balance.
Payment of Benefits
Upon termination of service, death, disability, or retirement, a participant may elect to receive a partial or lump-sum payment in an amount equal to the value of the participant’s vested account balance. Participants may also elect to rollover their vested account balance into a different tax-qualified retirement plan or individual retirement account upon termination of service.
Plan Termination
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants will become 100% vested in their account balances.
NOTE 3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Plan uses the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are set forth below:
| ● | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: |
| o | Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; |
| o | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; |
| o | Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are used in the valuation of the assets or liabilities (e.g., interest rate and yield curve quotes at commonly quoted intervals); and |
| o | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| ● | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). Level 3 inputs include management’s own assumption about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). |
The level in the fair value hierarchy, within which the fair value measurement is classified, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measure in its entirety.
A description of the valuation methodologies used for Plan assets measured at fair value are identified below:
| ● | Registered investment company mutual funds: Valued at the quoted net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year end. |
| ● | Common stock: Valued at the closing price reported on the active market, on which the individual securities are traded. |
| ● | Target retirement date common trusts: Valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) provided by T. Rowe Price Company (“T. Rowe Price”). These funds are primarily invested in stocks, bonds, and other short-term investments. |
| ● | Appreciation, collective trust: Valued using the NAV provided by Harbor Capital. The fund invests primarily in U.S. domestic company stocks. |
| ● | Stable value common collective trust: Valued using the NAV provided by T. Rowe Price. The fund is designed to deliver safety and stability by preserving principal and accumulating earnings. This fund is primarily invested in guaranteed investment contracts and synthetic investment contracts. Participant-directed redemptions have no restrictions; however, the Plan is required to provide a one-year redemption notice to liquidate its entire share in the fund. |
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement as of the reporting date.

The underlying volume submitter plan has received an advisory letter from the IRS dated June 30, 2020, stating that the form of the plan is qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and therefore, the related trust is tax-exempt. The Plan administrator has determined that it is eligible to, and has chosen to, rely on the current IRS volume submitter advisory letter. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualified status. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and, therefore, believes the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax-exempt.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. Plan management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan and has concluded that there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY AND PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are shares in common collective trusts and mutual funds managed by Fidelity. Fidelity is the trustee as described by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualified as party-in-interest transactions. Certain Plan investments are shares in the common stock of O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. O’Reilly Automotive, Inc. is the Plan sponsor as described by the Plan, and therefore, these transactions qualified as party-in-interest transactions. All of these transactions are exempt from the prohibited transaction rules.
NOTE 6. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
