LKQ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Interim Financial Statements
LKQ Corporation, a Delaware corporation, is a holding company and all operations are conducted by subsidiaries. When the terms "LKQ," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our" are used in this document, those terms refer to LKQ Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We have prepared the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information related to our significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
We have reclassified certain prior period amounts in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current period presentation.
Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for any subsequent interim period or for a full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025 ("2024 Form 10-K").
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." The ASU requires disclosure of disaggregated income taxes paid, prescribes standard categories for the components of the effective tax rate reconciliation, and modifies other income tax-related disclosures. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The ASU requires disclosure of specific expense categories within relevant income statement captions. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. The ASU can be adopted prospectively or retrospectively and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Allowance for Credit Losses
Our allowance for credit losses was $52 million and $56 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The provision for credit losses was $2 million and $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and $7 million and $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 3. Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually. We performed our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2024, and determined no impairment existed as all of our reporting units had a fair value estimate which exceeded the carrying value by at least 10 %. The fair value estimates of our reporting units were established using weightings of the results of a discounted cash flow methodology and a comparative market multiples approach. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment testing may also be performed on an interim basis when events or circumstances arise that may lead to impairment. We did not identify any indicators of impairment in the first six months of 2025 that necessitated an interim test of goodwill impairment or indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment.

Note 4. Revenue Recognition
Disaggregated Revenue
We report revenue in two categories: (i) parts and services and (ii) other.
Parts revenue is generated from the sale of vehicle products including replacement parts, components and systems used in the repair and maintenance of vehicles and specialty products and accessories to improve the performance, functionality and appearance of vehicles. Services revenue includes (i) additional services that are generally billed concurrently with the related product sales, such as the sale of service-type warranties, (ii) fees for admission to our self service yards, and (iii) diagnostic and repair services.
For Wholesale - North America and Self Service, vehicle replacement products include sheet metal collision parts such as doors, hoods, and fenders; bumper covers; head and tail lamps; mirrors; grilles; wheels; and large mechanical items such as engines and transmissions. For Europe, and to a lesser extent for Wholesale - North America, vehicle replacement products include a wide variety of small mechanical products such as brake pads, discs and sensors; clutches; electrical products such as spark plugs and batteries; steering and suspension products; filters; and oil and automotive fluids. Additionally, in both our Wholesale - North America and Europe segments, we sell paint and paint related consumables for refinishing vehicles. For our Specialty operations, we serve seven product segments: truck and off-road; speed and performance; recreational vehicles ("RV"); towing; wheels, tires and performance handling; marine; and miscellaneous accessories.
Other revenue includes sales of scrap and precious metals (platinum, palladium, and rhodium), bulk sales to mechanical manufacturers (including cores) and sales of aluminum ingots and sows from furnace operations. We derive scrap metal and other precious metals from several sources in both our Wholesale - North America and Self Service segments, including vehicles that have been used in our recycling operations and vehicles from original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and other entities that contract with us for secure disposal of "crush only" vehicles. Revenue from the sale of hulks in our Wholesale - North America and Self Service segments is recognized based on a price per ton of delivered material when the customer (processor) collects the scrap.
The following table sets forth our revenue disaggregated by category and reportable segment (in millions):

Note 5. Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses
From time to time, we initiate restructuring plans to integrate acquired businesses, to align our workforce with strategic business activities, or to improve efficiencies in our operations. Below is a summary of our current restructuring plans:
2024 Global Restructuring Plan
In the first quarter of 2024, we began a global restructuring initiative focused on enhancing profitability. This initiative includes exiting businesses and markets that do not align with our strategic objectives and executing on opportunities to reduce costs, streamline operations and consolidate facilities. As we continue to move forward with our plan, we have incurred and expect to incur impairments and other charges related to the disposal of long-lived assets, inventory, and other assets; costs for employee severance; lease termination charges and facility closure costs; and other contract termination charges. We expect that the largest portion of the activity will come from the Europe segment. In 2024, we divested our operations in Slovenia and Bosnia to third parties and, certain operations in Poland to MEKO AB, an equity method investment of which we own 26.6 %, and received a combination of cash and notes receivable. Our decision to exit these markets constituted a triggering event to evaluate certain long-lived assets for impairment, and as a result, we incurred impairment charges with the divestitures of Slovenia, Poland, and Bosnia. This plan is scheduled to be substantially complete by the end of 2025 with an estimated total incurred cost of between $130 million and $140 million.
1 LKQ Europe Plan
In 2019, we announced a multi-year plan called "1 LKQ Europe" which is intended to create structural centralization and standardization of key functions to facilitate the operation of the Europe segment as a single business. Under the 1 LKQ Europe plan, we are reorganizing our non-customer-facing teams and support systems through various projects including the implementation of a common Enterprise Resource Planning platform, rationalization of our product portfolio, and creation of a Europe headquarters office and central back office. This plan is scheduled to be substantially complete by the end of 2027 with an estimated total incurred cost of between $30 million and $40 million. In the future, we may identify additional initiatives under the plan that may result in additional expenditures, although we are currently unable to estimate the range of charges for such potential future initiatives.
Acquisition Integration Plans
After completing the acquisition of a business, we may incur costs related to integrating the acquired business into our current business structure and systems. These costs are typically incurred within a year from the acquisition date and vary in magnitude depending on the size and complexity of the related integration activities. There are no material acquisition integration plans as of June 30, 2025.

Note 8. Supply Chain Financing
We utilize voluntary supply chain finance programs to support our efforts in negotiating payment term extensions with suppliers as a part of our goal to improve our operating cash flows. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $450 million and $416 million of Accounts payable outstanding under the arrangements, respectively.

Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement
Note 10. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Under current policies, we may use derivatives to manage our exposure to variable interest rates on our debt and changing foreign exchange rates for certain foreign currency denominated transactions. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.
Derivative Instruments Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
In March 2025, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the risk of changing interest rates on our variable interest rate payments related to borrowings under our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we pay the fixed interest rate and receive a variable interest rate based on term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") that matches a contractually specified rate under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement. The March 2025 agreement replaced the agreements that matured in February 2025 and include a total $400 million notional amount maturing in November 2025 with a fixed interest rate of 4.11 %. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified to Interest expense when the hedged interest payments affect earnings.
15
The activity related to the interest rate swaps is classified in operating activities in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the activity relates to normal recurring settlements to match interest payments.
All of our interest rate swap contracts have been executed with counterparties that we believe are creditworthy, and we closely monitor the credit ratings of these counterparties.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the notional amounts, balance sheet classification and fair values of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges were as follows (in millions):

Note 11. Fair Value Measurements
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
We use the market and income approaches to estimate the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no significant changes in valuation techniques or inputs related to the financial assets or liabilities that we have historically recorded at fair value. The tiers in the fair value hierarchy include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as significant unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The following table presents information about our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs we utilized to determine such fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Contingent consideration liabilities | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total Liabilities | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16
Investments in debt and equity securities relate to our captive insurance subsidiary and are included in Other noncurrent assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The balance sheet classification of the interest rate swap agreements is presented in Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." For contingent consideration liabilities, the current portion is included in Other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the expected timing of the related payments.
We value derivative instruments using a third party valuation model that performs discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contracts and market observable inputs such as current and forward interest rates and current and forward foreign exchange rates.
Our contingent consideration liabilities are related to our business acquisitions. Under the terms of the contingent consideration agreements, payments may be made at specified future dates depending on the performance of the acquired business subsequent to the acquisition. The liabilities for these payments are classified as Level 3 liabilities because the related fair value measurement, which is determined using an income approach, includes significant inputs not observable in the market.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
Our debt is reflected on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at cost. The fair value measurements of the borrowings under the credit agreement are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since they are determined based upon significant inputs observable in the market, including interest rates on recent financing transactions with similar terms and maturities. We estimated the fair value by calculating the upfront cash payment a market participant would require at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 to assume these obligations. The fair values of the 5.75% senior notes due June 2028 (the "U.S. Notes (2028)"), the 6.25% senior notes due June 2033 (the "U.S. Notes (2033)" and together with the U.S. Notes (2028), the "U.S. Notes (2028/2033)"), the 4.13% senior notes due April 2028 (the "Euro Notes (2028)") and the 4.13% senior notes due March 2031 (the "Euro Notes (2031)") are determined based upon observable market inputs including quoted market prices in markets that are not active, and therefore are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Based on market conditions as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the borrowings under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement reasonably approximated the carrying values of $1,250 million and $1,164 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the borrowings under the Senior Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement ("CAD Note") reasonably approximated the carrying values of $514 million and $487 million, respectively.
The following table provides the carrying and fair value for our other financial instruments as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

Note 13. Segment and Geographic Information
We have four operating segments: Wholesale - North America; Europe; Specialty; and Self Service, each of which is presented as a reportable segment.
The segments are organized based on a combination of geographic areas served and type of product lines offered. The segments are managed separately as the businesses serve different customers and are affected by different economic conditions. Wholesale - North America and Self Service have similar economic characteristics and have common products and services, customers and methods of distribution. We are reporting these operating segments separately to provide greater transparency to investors.
The following tables present our financial performance by reportable segment for the periods indicated (in millions):

(1) The significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). Intersegment expenses are included within the amounts shown.
(2) Amounts primarily represent other non operating income and expenses within each segment, as well as reconciling items to remove depreciation - cost of goods sold and restructuring - cost of goods sold, which are excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA. See Note 5, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" for additional information on the restructuring charges.
(3) Amounts presented include depreciation and amortization expense recorded within Cost of goods sold and Restructuring and transaction related expenses.
The key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer, is Segment EBITDA. The CODM uses Segment EBITDA to compare profitability among the segments and evaluate business strategies. Segment EBITDA includes revenue and expenses that are controllable by the segment. Corporate general and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, with shared expenses apportioned based on the segment's percentage of consolidated revenue. We calculate Segment EBITDA as Net Income excluding net income and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest; income and loss from discontinued operations; depreciation; amortization; interest; gains and losses on debt extinguishment; income tax expense; restructuring and transaction related expenses; change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments, or divestitures; equity in losses and earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries; equity investment fair value adjustments; impairment charges; and direct impacts of the Ukraine/Russia conflict.

Note 14. Subsequent Event
On July 4, 2025, new U.S tax legislation was signed into law, commonly referred to as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The OBBBA includes the acceleration of fixed asset depreciation, modifications to the capitalization of domestic research and development expenses, modifications to the limitations to the deductibility of interest expense, and modifications to certain international provisions. These new provisions take effect starting in 2025 through 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new tax legislation.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements and information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of such Act.
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our outlook, guidance, expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions and strategies. Words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “if,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project” and similar words or expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different. All forward-looking statements are based on information available to us at the time the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual events or results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. The risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted or implied by our forward-looking statements include factors discussed in our filings with the SEC, including those disclosed under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2024 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (including this Quarterly Report).
Overview
We are a global distributor of vehicle products, including replacement parts, components and systems used in the repair and maintenance of vehicles, and specialty aftermarket products and accessories to improve the performance, functionality and appearance of vehicles.
Buyers of vehicle replacement products have the option to purchase from primarily five sources: new products produced by OEMs; new products produced by companies other than the OEMs, which are referred to as aftermarket products; recycled products obtained from salvage and total loss vehicles; recycled products that have been refurbished; and recycled products that have been remanufactured. We distribute a variety of products to collision and mechanical repair shops, including aftermarket collision and mechanical products; recycled collision and mechanical products; refurbished collision products such as wheels, bumper covers and lights; and remanufactured engines and transmissions. Collectively, we refer to the four sources that are not new OEM products as alternative parts.
We are organized into four operating segments: Wholesale - North America; Europe; Specialty; and Self Service, each of which is presented as a reportable segment.
Our Wholesale - North America segment is a leading provider of alternative vehicle collision replacement products, paint and body repair related products, and alternative vehicle mechanical replacement products, with our sales, processing, and distribution facilities reaching most major markets in the United States and Canada. Our Europe segment is a leading provider of alternative vehicle replacement and maintenance products in Germany, the U.K., the Benelux region (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg), Italy, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, France and various other European countries. Our Specialty segment is a leading distributor of specialty vehicle aftermarket equipment and accessories reaching most major markets in the U.S. and Canada. Our Self Service segment operates self service retail facilities across the U.S. that sell recycled automotive products from end-of-life-vehicles.
Our operating results have fluctuated on a quarterly and annual basis in the past and can be expected to continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. Please refer to the factors referred to in Forward-Looking Statements above. Due to these factors and others, which may be unknown to us at this time, our operating results in future periods can be expected to fluctuate. Accordingly, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of future performance.
22
Acquisitions and Investments
Since our inception in 1998, we have pursued a growth strategy through both organic growth and acquisitions. Our current acquisition strategy focuses on highly accretive tuck-in acquisitions with significant synergies or critical capabilities and no large platform acquisitions are expected. Additionally, from time to time, we make investments in various businesses to advance our strategic objectives.
Sources of Revenue
We report our revenue in two categories: (i) parts and services and (ii) other. Our parts revenue is generated from the sale of vehicle products, including replacement parts, components and systems used in the repair and maintenance of vehicles, and specialty products and accessories used to improve the performance, functionality and appearance of vehicles. Our service revenue is generated primarily from the sale of service-type warranties, fees for admission to our self service yards, and diagnostic and repair services. Revenue from other sources includes sales of scrap and other metals (including precious metals - platinum, palladium and rhodium - contained in recycled parts such as catalytic converters), bulk sales to mechanical manufacturers (including cores) and sales of aluminum ingots and sows from our furnace operations. Other revenue will vary from period to period based on fluctuations in commodity prices and the volume of materials sold. See Note 4, "Revenue Recognition" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information related to our sources of revenue.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our 2024 Form 10-K includes a summary of the critical accounting estimates we believe are the most important to aid in understanding our financial results. There have been no changes to those critical accounting estimates that have had a material impact on our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in Note 1, "Interim Financial Statements" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information related to new accounting standards.
Financial Information by Geographic Area
See Note 4, "Revenue Recognition" and Note 13, "Segment and Geographic Information" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information related to our revenue and long-lived assets by geographic region.
Key Performance Indicators
We believe that organic revenue growth, Segment EBITDA and free cash flow are key performance indicators for our business. Segment EBITDA is our key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM. Free cash flow is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”).
•Organic revenue growth - We define organic revenue growth as total revenue growth from continuing operations excluding the effects of acquisitions and divestitures (i.e., revenue generated from the date of acquisition to the first anniversary of that acquisition, net of reduced revenue due to the disposal of businesses) and foreign currency movements (i.e., impact of translating revenue at different exchange rates). Organic revenue growth includes incremental sales from both existing and new (i.e., opened within the last twelve months) locations and is derived from expanding business with existing customers, securing new customers and offering additional products and services. We believe that organic revenue growth is a key performance indicator as this statistic measures our ability to serve and grow our customer base successfully.

•Segment EBITDA - See Note 13, "Segment and Geographic Information" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the calculation of Segment EBITDA. We believe that Segment EBITDA provides useful information to evaluate our segment profitability by focusing on the indicators of ongoing operational results.
•Free Cash Flow - We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow provides insight into our liquidity and provides useful information to management and investors concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements, make strategic acquisitions, repurchase stock, and pay dividends.
These three key performance indicators are used as targets in determining incentive compensation at various levels of the organization, including senior management. By using these performance measures, we attempt to motivate a balanced approach to the business that rewards growth, profitability and cash flow generation in a manner that enhances our long-term prospects.

The decrease in parts and services revenue of $75 million, or 2.1%, represented decreases in segment revenue of $36 million, or 2.6%, in Wholesale - North America, $32 million, or 1.9%, in Europe, $5 million, or 9.8%, in Self Service, and $2 million, or 0.4%, in Specialty. This overall decrease was driven by an organic parts and services revenue decrease of $122 million, or 3.4% (2.7% decrease on a per day basis), and a $34 million, or 1.0%, decrease due to the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures, partially offset by an $82 million, or 2.3%, increase due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the changes in revenue by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold decreased by $40 million, or 1.8%, to $2,230 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Cost of goods sold primarily reflects decreases of $32 million from Europe, $4 million from Self Service, and $3 million from Wholesale - North America. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue remained flat at 61.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue primarily reflects an increase of 0.4% from Wholesale - North America, partially offset by a decrease of 0.3% from Europe. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the changes in cost of goods sold by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased by $22 million, or 2.3%, to $998 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The year over year increase in SG&A expense primarily reflects increases of $18 million from Europe, $3 million from Specialty and $1 million from Wholesale - North America. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 27.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from 26.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue primarily reflects increases of 0.8% from Europe and 0.2% from Wholesale - North America.

Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses
Restructuring and transaction related expenses decreased by $41 million, primarily due to a $31 million decrease in restructuring expenses related to our 2024 Global Restructuring plan and a $10 million decrease in restructuring expenses related to our Acquisition Integration plans.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 26.3%, compared to 30.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily attributable to the 5.2% year over year favorable impact of discrete items, mostly related to the favorable tax effects of the reversal of a tax assessment in the current year and the nonrecurring unfavorable tax effects of the Global Restructuring Plan impairments in the prior year. See Note 5, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" for further information on the impairments.
Foreign Currency Impact
We translate our statements of income at the average exchange rates in effect for the period. Relative to the rates used during the three months ended June 30, 2024, the pound sterling, Czech koruna and euro rates used to translate the three months ended June 30, 2025 statements of income increased by 5.8%, 5.6% and 5.3%, respectively, while the Canadian dollar rate decreased by 1.1%. Realized and unrealized currency gains and losses combined with the translation effect of the change in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar had a net positive effect of $0.03 on diluted earnings per share relative to the prior year period.

The key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer, is Segment EBITDA. The CODM uses Segment EBITDA to compare profitability among the segments and evaluate business strategies. Segment EBITDA includes revenue and expenses that are controllable by the segment. Corporate general and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, with shared expenses apportioned based on the segment's percentage of consolidated revenue. We calculate Segment EBITDA as Net Income excluding net income and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest; income and loss from discontinued operations; depreciation; amortization; interest; gains and losses on debt extinguishment; income tax expense; restructuring and transaction related expenses; change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments, or divestitures; equity in losses and earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries; equity investment fair value adjustments; impairment charges; and direct impacts of the Ukraine/Russia conflict. See Note 13, "Segment and Geographic Information" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of total Segment EBITDA to net income.

(1)Parts and services revenue decreased by $36 million, or 2.6%, to $1,362 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a parts and services organic revenue decrease of $36 million, or 2.6% (2.2% on a per day basis), driven primarily by lower volumes in our paint, body and equipment business from increased competition and lower repairable claims, partially offset by pricing initiatives and targeted actions to increase market penetration.
(2)Gross margin decreased by $29 million, or 4.4%, to $619 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was driven by lower revenue as described above as well as unfavorable customer mix not fully offset by price increases due to market competition.
(3)SG&A expenses remained relatively flat to $398 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to (i) $5 million from increased vehicle costs, and (ii) other individually immaterial factors representing a $1 million unfavorable impact in the aggregate, partially offset by (iii) $5 million from decreased professional fees.
(4)Amounts primarily represent other non operating income and expenses, as well as reconciling items to remove depreciation - cost of goods sold and restructuring - cost of goods sold, which are excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA.

(1)Parts and services revenue decreased by $32 million, or 1.9%, to $1,601 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to (i) a parts and services organic revenue decrease of $81 million, or 4.9% (3.8% on a per day basis), driven by decreased volumes due to difficult economic conditions, heightened competition in certain markets, temporary operational challenges, and a negative effect from one fewer selling days, and (ii) an acquisition and divestiture decrease of $36 million, or 2.2%, primarily related to the divestiture of certain operations in Poland, Slovenia and Bosnia in 2024, partially offset by (iii) the effect of an exchange rate increase of $85 million, or 5.2%, primarily due to the weaker U.S. dollar against the euro and pound sterling, and to a lesser extent, the Czech koruna.
(2)Gross margin was flat at $619 million, as the decrease resulting from lower organic growth was offset by net procurement savings contributing to an increase in gross margin percentage of 0.7% compared to the prior year period.
(3)SG&A expenses increased by $18 million, or 4.3%, to $474 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in SG&A expense is primarily due to (i) a $25 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact from a weakening U.S. dollar, (ii) a $12 million non-recurring benefit from a reduction in personnel related accruals in the prior year that were previously recorded as a result of union related negotiations, partially offset by (iii) a $9 million favorable impact from the divestiture of certain operations in Poland, Slovenia and Bosnia in 2024, and (iv) other individually immaterial factors representing a $10 million favorable impact in the aggregate, including cost savings from restructuring and other productivity initiatives.
(4)Amounts primarily represent other non operating income and expenses, as well as reconciling items to remove depreciation - cost of goods sold and restructuring - cost of goods sold, which are excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA.

(1)Parts and services revenue decreased by $5 million, or 9.8%, to $50 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily due to a parts and services organic revenue decrease of $4 million, or 6.9% (5.9% on a per day basis), driven by lower parts volumes from a reduced number of customer admissions.
(2)Gross margin was flat at $56 million as the decrease resulting from lower revenue was offset by favorable movements in commodity prices.

(1)Parts and services revenue decreased by $122 million, or 4.3%, to $2,698 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a parts and services organic revenue decrease of $112 million, or 4.0% (3.1% on a per day basis), due to a reduction in repairable claims, and having one fewer selling days in the current year, partially offset by targeted actions to increase market penetration. Additionally, revenue decreased due to a negative exchange rate effect of $17 million, or 0.6%, primarily due to the stronger U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar.

(2)Gross margin decreased by $65 million, or 5.0%, to $1,246 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was driven by lower revenue as described above as well as unfavorable customer mix not fully offset by price increases due to market competition.
(3)SG&A expenses decreased by $15 million, or 1.8%, to $808 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in SG&A expense is primarily due to (i) $24 million from decreased personnel costs due to cost savings initiatives which were partially offset by inflationary pressures, and (ii) other individually immaterial factors representing a $9 million favorable impact in the aggregate, partially offset by (iii) $12 million from increased vehicle costs, and (iv) $6 million from increased facility costs due to increased rent.
(4)Amounts primarily represent other non operating income and expenses, as well as reconciling items to remove depreciation - cost of goods sold and restructuring - cost of goods sold, which are excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA. See Note 5, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on restructuring charges.

(1)Parts and services revenue decreased by $154 million, or 4.7%, to $3,116 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to (i) a parts and services organic revenue decrease of $126 million, or 3.9% (2.8% on a per day basis), driven by decreased volumes due to difficult economic conditions, heightened competition in certain markets, temporary operational challenges, and a negative effect from one fewer selling days, and (ii) an acquisition and divestiture decrease of $72 million, or 2.2%, primarily related to the divestiture of certain operations in Poland, Slovenia and Bosnia in 2024, partially offset by (iii) the effect of an exchange rate increase of $45 million, or 1.4%, primarily due to the weaker U.S. dollar against the pound sterling and euro, and to a lesser extent, the Czech koruna.
(2)Gross margin decreased by $32 million, or 2.6%, to $1,210 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased revenue, partially offset by a $12 million reduction in cost of goods sold primarily related to restructuring expenses incurred as part of the 2024 Global Restructuring Plan in the prior year period. These restructuring expenses are excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA. See Note 5, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" and Note 13, "Segment and Geographic Information" for further information. The increase in gross margin as a percentage of total segment revenue was primarily driven by a benefit from the divestiture of certain operations in Poland, Slovenia and Bosnia in 2024 and lower restructuring expense in the current year as described above.
(3)SG&A expenses decreased by $16 million, or 1.7%, to $933 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in SG&A expense is primarily due to favorable impacts of (i) $20 million from the divestiture of certain operations in Poland, Slovenia and Bosnia in 2024, (ii) $10 million of lower freight, vehicle and fuel cost, and (iii) other individually immaterial factors representing a $6 million favorable impact in the aggregate, partially offset by (iv) a $13 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact from a weakening U.S. dollar, and (v) a $7 million unfavorable impact in professional fees related to several strategic central and regional information technology initiatives.
(4)Amounts primarily represent other non operating income and expenses, as well as reconciling items to remove depreciation - cost of goods sold and restructuring - cost of goods sold, which are excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA. See Note 5, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information on restructuring charges.

(1)Parts and services revenue decreased by $31 million, or 3.4%, to $857 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily due to a parts and services organic revenue decrease of $28 million, or 3.2% (2.4% on a per day basis), driven by demand softness in the automotive and RV product lines resulting from declining consumer sentiment and reduced unit retail sales for RVs.
(2)Gross margin decreased by $11 million, or 4.8%, to $213 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by decreases in parts and services revenue and unfavorable sales mix with lower volumes on higher margin product lines.

(1)Parts and services revenue decreased by $8 million, or 7.8%, to $101 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This was primarily due to a parts and services organic revenue decrease of $7 million, or 6.2% (5.7% on a per day basis), driven by lower parts volumes from a reduced number of customer admissions.
(2)Gross margin increased by $4 million, or 3.1%, to $120 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase is attributable to favorable movements in commodity prices and improvements in vehicle procurement costs which more than offset the decrease in revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity and capital resources in terms of our ability to fund our operations and provide for expansion through both internal development and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and our revolving credit facilities. We utilize our cash flows from operations to fund working capital and capital expenditures, with the excess amounts going towards paying dividends, repurchasing our common stock, paying down outstanding debt, or funding acquisitions. As we have pursued acquisitions as part of our historical growth strategy, our cash flows from operations have not always been sufficient to cover our investing activities. To fund our acquisitions, we have accessed various forms of debt financing, including revolving credit facilities, term loans, and senior notes. We currently believe we have sufficient access to capital markets to support our future growth objectives.
The following table summarizes liquidity data as of the dates indicated (in millions):
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||
| Capacity under revolving credit facilities | $ | 2,000 | $ | 2,000 | |||||||

| Add: Cash and cash equivalents | 289 | 234 | |||||||||
| Total liquidity | $ | 1,425 | $ | 1,456 | |||||||
We had $1,136 million available under our revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2025. Combined with $289 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2025, we had $1,425 million in available liquidity, a decrease of $31 million from our available liquidity as of December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of increasing our revolving credit facilities borrowings by $86 million.
On May 2, 2025, we entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement which extended the maturity date of the unsecured term loan facility from January 5, 2026 to January 5, 2027 as well as certain other immaterial modifications. See Note 9, "Long-Term Obligations" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information regarding total debt outstanding.
We believe that our current liquidity, cash expected to be generated by operating activities in future periods and access to capital markets will be sufficient to meet our current operating and capital requirements. Our capital allocation strategy includes spending to support growth driven capital projects, return stockholder value through the payment of dividends and repurchasing shares of our common stock, completing highly synergistic tuck-in acquisitions and debt repayment.
A summary of the dividend activity for our common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2025 is as follows:
| Dividend Amount | Declaration Date | Record Date | Payment Date | |||||||||||||||||
| $0.30 | February 18, 2025 | March 13, 2025 | March 27, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||
| $0.30 | April 22, 2025 | May 15, 2025 | May 29, 2025 | |||||||||||||||||
On July 22, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on August 28, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2025.
We believe that our future cash flow generation will permit us to continue paying dividends in future periods; however, the timing, amount and frequency of such future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors, and based on considerations of capital availability, and various other factors, many of which are outside of our control.
With $1,425 million of total liquidity as of June 30, 2025 and $34 million of current maturities, we have access to funds to meet our near term commitments. We have a surplus of current assets over current liabilities, which further reduces the risk of short-term cash shortfalls.
33
Our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement and our CAD Note both include two financial maintenance covenants: a maximum total leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio. The terms maximum total leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio are specifically calculated per both the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement and CAD Note, and differ in specified ways from comparable GAAP or common usage terms. We were in compliance with all applicable covenants under both our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement and CAD Note as of June 30, 2025. The required debt covenants per both the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement and CAD Note and our actual ratios with respect to those covenants are as follows as of June 30, 2025:
| Covenant Level | Ratio Achieved as of June 30, 2025 | ||||||||||
| Maximum total leverage ratio | 4.00 : 1.00 | 2.6 | |||||||||
| Minimum interest coverage ratio | 3.00 : 1.00 | 7.3 | |||||||||
The indentures relating to our U.S. Notes and Euro Notes do not include financial maintenance covenants, and the indentures will not restrict our ability to draw funds under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement. The indentures do not prohibit amendments to the financial covenants under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement and CAD Note as needed.
While we believe that we have adequate capacity under our existing revolving credit facilities to finance our current operations, from time to time we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or modification of our existing Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement to finance additional investments or to refinance existing debt obligations. There can be no assurance that additional funding, or refinancing of our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants or higher interest costs. Our failure to raise capital if and when needed could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We hold interest rate swaps to hedge the variable rates on a portion of our credit agreement borrowings. After giving effect to these contracts outstanding, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement was 5.6% at June 30, 2025. Including our senior notes and CAD Note, our overall weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 5.2% at June 30, 2025. Under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, our borrowings bear interest at SOFR plus the applicable spread or other risk-free interest rates that are applicable for the specified currency plus a spread. Under the CAD Note, the interest rate may be (i) a forward-looking term rate based on the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average for an interest period chosen by the Company of one or three months or (ii) the Canadian Prime Rate (as defined in the CAD Note), plus in each case a spread. See Note 9, "Long-Term Obligations" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information related to our borrowings and related interest. The interest rate swaps are described in Note 10, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
We had outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and term loans payable of $1,764 million and $1,651 million at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Of these amounts, there were no current maturities at June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $289 million, of which $246 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. In general, it is our practice and intention to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. We believe that we have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to meet our financial obligations in the U.S. without repatriating our foreign earnings. We may, from time to time, choose to selectively repatriate foreign earnings if doing so supports our financing or liquidity objectives. Distributions of dividends from our foreign subsidiaries, if any, would be generally exempt from further U.S. taxation, either as a result of the 100% participation exemption under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in 2017, or due to the previous taxation of foreign earnings under the transition tax and the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income regime.
The procurement of inventory is the largest operating use of our funds. We normally pay for aftermarket product purchases on standard payment terms or at the time of shipment, depending on the manufacturer and the negotiated payment terms. We normally pay for salvage vehicles acquired at salvage auctions and under direct procurement arrangements at the time that we take possession of the vehicles.
As part of our effort to improve our operating cash flows, we may negotiate payment term extensions with suppliers. These efforts are supported by our supply chain finance programs. See Note 8, "Supply Chain Financing" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information related to our supply chain financing arrangements.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $293 million compared to $466 million for the same period of 2024. Cash flows related to our primary working capital accounts can be volatile as the purchases, payments and collections can be timed differently from period to period. Inventories represented $57 million in incremental cash inflows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024. Accounts payable produced $245 million in incremental cash outflows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period of 2024.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in investing activities totaled $99 million compared to $178 million for the same period of 2024. We invested $30 million of cash in business acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2024. There were no significant business acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2025. Property, plant and equipment purchases were $107 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $146 million in the prior year period.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash used in financing activities totaled $169 million compared to $276 million for the same period in 2024. Cash outflows for share repurchases were $79 million and dividends paid were $156 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $155 million for share repurchases and $161 million for dividends paid for the same period of 2024. Net debt borrowings (net of unamortized bond discounts) were $59 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $80 million for the same period of 2024.
We intend to continue to evaluate markets for potential growth through the internal development of distribution centers, processing and sales facilities, and warehouses, through further integration of our facilities, and through selected business acquisitions. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the costs and timing of our internal development efforts and the success of those efforts.
