Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002. 2. Stock-based Compensation The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options issued under our stock option plans and accordingly does not record an expense for such stock options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures under the fair value method, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information, is as follows:

3. Synthetic Lease Facility On June 26, 2003, we completed an amended and restated master agreement to our $50 million Synthetic Operating Lease Facility ("the Facility") with a group of financial institutions. The terms of the amended and restated Facility provide for an initial lease period of five years, a residual value guarantee of approximately $44.2 million at September 30, 2003 and purchase options on the properties. The Facility also contains a provision for an event of default whereby the lessor, among other things, may require us to purchase any or all of the properties. One additional renewal period of five years may be requested from the lessor, although the lessor is not obligated to grant such renewal. The amended and restated Facility has been accounted for as an operating lease under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 13 and related Interpretations.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION Unless otherwise indicated, "we," "us," "our" and similar terms, as well as references to the "Company" or "O'Reilly" refer to O'Reilly Automotive, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The fundamental objective of financial reporting is to provide useful information that allows a reader to comprehend the business activities of our company. To aid in that understanding, management has identified our "critical accounting policies." These policies have the potential to have a more significant impact on our financial statements, either because of the significance of the financial statement item to which they relate, or because they require judgment and estimation due to the uncertainty involved in measuring, at a specific point in time, events which are continuous in nature. o Cost of goods sold - Cost of goods sold includes estimates of shortages that are adjusted upon physical inventory counts in subsequent periods and estimates of amounts due from vendors for certain merchandise allowances, warranties and rebates. These estimates are consistent with historical experience. o Operating, selling, general and administrative expense ("OSG&A") - Operating, selling, general and administrative expense includes estimates for worker's compensation and other general liability obligations, some of which are partially self-insured. Such estimates are partially based on estimates of certain claim costs and historical experience. o Credit operations - Allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical loss ratios and consistently has been within management's expectations. o Revenue - We recognize sales upon shipment of the products. o Stock-based compensation - We have elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options issued under our stock option plans and accordingly do not record an expense for such stock options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures under the fair value method, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. Our pro forma information, is as follows:

Page 8 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONT.) Results of Operations Product sales for the third quarter of 2003 were $412.2 million, an increase of $52.6 million or 14.6% over product sales for the third quarter of 2002. Product sales for the first nine months of 2003 were $1.14 billion, an increase of $146.5 million or 14.7% over product sales for the first nine months of 2002. These increases are primarily due to the opening of 33 net, new stores during the third quarter of 2003 and 93 net, new stores during the first nine months of 2003, in addition to a 8.3% and 7.2% increase in comparable store product sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2003, respectively. At September 30, 2003, we operated 1,074 stores compared to 958 stores at September 30, 2002. Gross profit increased 15.4% from $152.2 million (or 42.3% of product sales) in the third quarter of 2002 to $175.7 million (or 42.6% of product sales) in the third quarter of 2003. Gross profit for the first nine months increased 14.2% from $422.4 million (or 42.3% of product sales) in 2002 to $482.3 million (or 42.1% of product sales) in 2003. The increase in gross profit dollars is primarily a result of the increase in the number of stores open during the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 compared to the same period of 2002, and increased sales levels at existing stores. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of product sales in the third quarter 2003 compared to 2002, is primarily due to a reduction in the cost of merchandise from our vendors. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of product sales for the first nine months of 2003 compared to 2002, is primarily due to increased warehouse and delivery expenses resulting from the Company's remodeling of it's Nashville and Knoxville, TN distribution centers, which occured in the first and second quarters of 2003. Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses ("OSG&A expenses") increased $15.8 million from $111.5 million (or 31.0% of product sales) in the third quarter of 2002 to $127.3 million (or 30.9% of product sales) in the third quarter of 2003. OSG&A expenses increased $40.6 million from $315.3 million (or 31.6% of product sales) in the first nine months of 2002 to $355.9 million (or 31.1% of product sales) in the first nine months of 2003. The dollar increase in OSG&A expenses resulted from the addition of team members and resources in order to support the increased level of our operations. The decrease in OSG&A as a percentage of product sales is primarily due to economies of scale achieved and the result of management's efforts to increase labor productivity. Other expenses decreased by $793,000 in the third quarter of 2003 compared to the third quarter of 2002 and decreased by $776,000 for the first nine months of 2003 compared to the first nine months of 2002. The decreases in both periods being compared were primarily due to decreases in interest expense. Our estimated provision for income taxes increased $3.0 million and $7.2 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 compared to 2002, respectively, as a result of our increased taxable income. Our effective tax rate was 37.4% and 37.5% of income before income taxes for the third quarter and first nine months of 2003 respectively, compared with 37.9% and 37.8% for the same periods of 2002, respectively. Principally, as a result of the foregoing, net income increased from $24.1 million or 6.7% of product sales in the third quarter of 2002 to $29.5 million or 7.2% of product sales in the third quarter of 2003. Net income increased from $63.3 million or 6.3% of product sales in the first nine months of 2002 to $76.2 million or 6.7% of product sales in the first nine months of 2003. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net cash provided by operating activities increased from $105.1 million for the first nine months in 2002 to $172.1 million for the first nine months of 2003. This increase was principally the result of increased net income and increases in accounts payable and income taxes payable, partially offset by increases in inventory, accounts receivable and amounts receivable from vendors. The increase in accounts payable is primarily attributable to the timing of payments and more favorable payment terms from vendors. The increase in income taxes payable is primarily due to the timing of payments. The increases in inventory and receivables are primarily due to our increased product sales resulting from our continuing store growth. Net cash used in investing activities increased from $72.4 million during the first nine months in 2002 to $103.9 million for the comparable period in 2003, primarily due to the increased purchases of property and equipment resulting from new store growth. Net cash used in financing activities was $64.5 million in the first nine months of 2003, compared to $15.9 million in the first nine months of 2002. The increase in net cash used in financing activities is primarily due to a reduction in long-term debt. Page 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONT.) We have available an unsecured, three-year syndicated revolving credit facility in the amount of $150 million. The credit facility is guaranteed by all of our subsidiaries and may be increased to a total of $200 million at any time prior to January 29, 2004, subject to availability of such additional credit from either existing banks within the syndicate or other banks. At September 30, 2003, $10.0 million of the revolving credit facility was outstanding. Additionally, letters of credit totaling $9.8 million were outstanding at September 30, 2003. Accordingly, we have aggregate availability for additional borrowings of $130.2 million under the credit facility. The credit facility, which bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 0.875% to 1.375% (2.00% at September 30, 2003), expires in July 2005. On June 26, 2003, we completed an amended and restated master agreement to our $50 million Synthetic Operating Lease Facility ("the Facility") with a group of financial institutions. The terms of the amended and restated Facility provide for an initial lease period of five years, a residual value guarantee of approximately $44.2 million at September 30, 2003, and purchase options on the properties. The Facility also contains a provision for an event of default whereby the lessor, among other things, may require us to purchase any or all of the properties. One additional renewal period of five years may be requested from the lessor, although the lessor is not obligated to grant such renewal. The amended and restated Facility has been accounted for as an operating lease under the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." In August 2001, we completed a sale-leaseback with O'Reilly-Wooten 2000 LLC (an entity owned by certain shareholders of the Company). The transaction closed on September 1, 2001, with a purchase price of approximately $5.6 million for nine O'Reilly Auto Parts stores and did not result in a material gain or loss. The lease, which has been accounted for as an operating lease, calls for an initial term of 15 years with three five-year renewal options. On May 16, 2001, we completed a $100 million private placement of two series of unsecured senior notes ("Senior Notes"). The Series 2001-A Senior Notes were issued for $75 million, are due May 16, 2006, and bear interest at 7.72% per year. The Series 2001-B Senior Notes were issued for $25 million, are due May 16, 2008, and bear interest at 7.92% per year. The private placement agreement allows for a total of $200 million of Senior Notes issuable in series. Proceeds from the transaction were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our continuing store expansion program requires significant capital expenditures and working capital principally for inventory requirements. The costs associated with the opening of a new store (including the cost of land acquisition, improvements, fixtures, inventory and computer equipment) are estimated to average approximately $900,000 to $1.1 million; however, such costs may be significantly reduced where we lease, rather than purchase, the store site. Although the cost to acquire the business of an independently owned parts store varies, depending primarily upon the amount of inventory and the amount, if any, of real estate being acquired, we estimate that the average cost to acquire such a business and convert it to one of our stores is approximately $400,000, exclusive of the cost of inventory. We plan to finance our expansion program through cash expected to be provided from operating activities and available borrowings under our existing credit facilities. For the first nine months of 2003, 93 net, new stores were opened. The Company plans to open 34 additional stores during the remainder of 2003. The funds required for such planned expansions are expected to be provided by operating activities and the existing and available bank credit facilities. We believe that our existing cash, short-term investments, cash expected to be provided by operating activities, available bank credit facilities and trade credit will be sufficient to fund both our short-term and long-term capital and liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. New Accounting Standards In March 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor. Under the new guidance, cash consideration received from a vendor should be classified as a reduction of cost of sales. If the consideration received represents a payment for assets delivered to the vendor, it should be classified as revenue. If the consideration is a reimbursement of a specific, incremental, identifiable cost incurred in selling the vendor's product, the cost should be characterized as a reduction of that cost incurred. The guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. Inflation and Seasonality We have been successful, in many cases, in reducing the effects of merchandise cost increases principally by taking advantage of vendor incentive programs, economies of scale resulting from increased volume of purchases and selective forward buying. As a result, we do not believe our operations have been materially affected by inflation. Our business is seasonal to some extent primarily as a result of the impact of weather conditions on store sales. Store sales and profits have historically been higher in the second and third quarters (April through September) of each year than in the first and fourth quarters. Page 10 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONT.) Internet Address and Access to SEC Filings Our Internet address is www.oreillyauto.com. Interested readers can access the Company's annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and any amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, through the www.sec.gov. Such reports are generally available on the day they are filed. Additionally, the Company will furnish interested readers upon request and free of charge, a paper copy of such reports. Forward-Looking Statements We claim the protection of the safe-harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements discuss, among other things, expected growth, store development and expansion strategy, business strategies, future revenues and future performance. These forward-looking statements are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions and are not guarantees of future events and results. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, competition, product demand, the market for auto parts, the economy in general, inflation, consumer debt levels, governmental approvals and regulations, our ability to hire and retain qualified employees, risks associated with the integration of acquired businesses, weather, terrorist activities, war and the threat of war. Actual results may materially differ from anticipated results described in these forward-looking statements. Please refer to the Risk Factors section in Exhibit 99.1 and the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, for more details. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are subject to interest rate risk to the extent we borrow against our credit facility because of its variable interest rate. Assuming the current level of borrowings at variable rates and assuming a two-percentage point change in the average interest rates under these borrowings, it is estimated that our interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, would have increased by approximately $50,000. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management would likely take actions that would mitigate our exposure to interest rate risk particularly if our borrowing levels increase to any significant extent; however, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no such action. Further, this analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES (a) As of September 30, 2003, an evaluation was carried out by management, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that the information required to be discussed by the Company in the reports that it files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. (b) There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION In March 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on Issue No. 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor. Under the new guidance, cash consideration received from a vendor should be classified as a reduction of cost of sales. If the consideration received represents a payment for assets delivered to the vendor, it should be classified as revenue. If the consideration is a reimbursement of a specific, incremental, identifiable cost incurred in selling the vendor's product, the cost should be characterized as a reduction of that cost incurred. The guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. ITEM 6.

AND SUBSIDIARIES Exhibit 99.1 - Certain Risk Factors Some of the information in this Form 10-Q contains and future reports and press releases and other public information may contain forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," and "continue" or similar words. These "forward-looking statements" are made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (See Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.) You should read statements that contain these words carefully because they: (1) discuss our future expectations; (2) contain projections of our future results of operations or of our financial condition; or (3) state other "forward-looking" information. We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed in this exhibit, as well as any cautionary language in this Form 10-Q, are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, competition, product demand, the market for auto parts, the economy in general, inflation, consumer debt levels, governmental approvals, our ability to hire and retain qualified employees, risks associated with the integration of acquired business, weather, terrorist activities, war and the threat of war. Actual results may materially differ from anticipated results described in these forward-looking statements. You should be aware that the occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 (the "2002 Form 10-K") could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Competition We compete with a large number of retail (DIY) and wholesale (professional installers) automotive aftermarket product suppliers. The distribution of automotive aftermarket products is a highly competitive industry, particularly in the more densely populated market areas that we serve. Competitors include national and regional automotive parts chains, independently owned parts stores (some of which are associated with national auto parts distributors or associations), automobile dealerships, mass or general merchandise, discount and convenience chains that carry automotive products, independent warehouse distributors and parts stores and national warehouse distributors and associations. Some of our competitors are larger than we are and have greater financial resources. In addition, some of our competitors are smaller than we are overall but have a greater presence than we do in a particular market. For a list of our principal competitors, see the "Competition" section of Item 1 to the Company's our 2002 Form 10-K. No Assurance of Future Growth We believe that our ability to open additional stores at an accelerated rate will be a significant factor in achieving our growth objectives for the future. Failure to achieve our growth objectives may negatively impact the trading price of our common stock. Our ability to accomplish our growth objectives is dependent, in part, on matters beyond our control, such as weather conditions, zoning and other issues related to new store site development, the availability of qualified management personnel and general business and economic conditions. We cannot be sure that our growth plans for 2003 and beyond will be achieved. For a discussion of our growth strategies, see the "Growth and Expansion Strategies" section of Item 1 to our 2002 Form 10-K. Acquisitions May Not Lead to Expected Growth We expect to continue to make acquisitions as an element of our growth strategy. Acquisitions involve certain risks that could cause our actual growth to differ from our expectations. For example: (1) we may not be able to continue to identify suitable acquisition candidates or to acquire additional companies at favorable prices or on other favorable terms; (2) our management's attention may be distracted; (3) we may fail to retain key acquired personnel; (4) we may assume unanticipated legal liabilities and other problems; and (5) we may not be able to successfully integrate the operations (accounting and billing functions, for example) of businesses we acquire to realize economic, operational and other benefits. Page 19 O'REILLY AUTOMOTIVE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Exhibit 99.1 - Certain Risk Factors (continued) Sensitivity to Regional Economic and Weather Conditions All of our stores are located in the Central and Southern United States. In particular, approximately 34.9% of our stores are located in Texas. Therefore, our business is sensitive to the economic and weather conditions of these regions. Unusually severe or inclement weather tends to reduce sales, particularly to DIY customers. Dependence Upon Key and Other Personnel Our success has been largely dependent on the efforts of certain key personnel, including David E. O'Reilly, Lawrence P. O'Reilly, Ted F. Wise and Greg L. Henslee. One key person, Lawrence P. O'Reilly retired from his operational duties in February 2003, but will continue to serve on the Board of Directors. Our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected by the loss of the services of one or more of these individuals. Additionally, our successful implementation and management of our growth and expansion strategies will depend on our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel. We cannot be sure that we will be able to continue to attract such personnel. For a further discussion of our management and personnel, see the ''Business'' section of Item 1 and Item 4a of our 2002 Form 10-K and our Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the 2003 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Concentration of Ownership by Management Our executive officers and directors as a group beneficially own a substantial percentage of the outstanding shares of our common stock. These officers and directors have the ability to exercise effective voting control of the company, including the election of all of our directors, and to effectively determine the vote on any matter being voted on by our shareholders, including any merger, sale of assets or other change in control of the company. Possible Volatility of Our Stock Price The stock market and the price of our common stock may be subject to volatile fluctuations based on general economic and market conditions. The market price for our common stock may also be affected by our ability to meet analysts' expectations. Failure to meet such expectations, even slightly, could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, stock market volatility has had a significant effect on the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against such a company. If similar litigation were instituted against us, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management's attention and resources, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Shares Eligible for Future Sale All of the shares of common stock currently held by our affiliates may be sold in reliance upon the exemptive provisions of Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to certain volume and other conditions imposed by such rule. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of common stock or the availability of such shares for sale will have on the market price of the common stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of the common stock. Page 20
