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 and in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the presentation of discontinued operations as a result of the sale of our Self Service segment as discussed in Note 2, "Discontinued Operations."
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 ("ASU") 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 can be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. The adoption of this ASU is expected to impact the tax disclosure with no impact to the consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, statements of cash flows, and statements of comprehensive income and will be adopted prospectively.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 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.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software." This ASU removes references to software development project stages to better align with current software development methods. Under the ASU, an entity will begin capitalizing software costs when management authorizes and commits to funding the software project, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim periods within those fiscal years, though early adoption is permitted. The ASU can be adopted either prospectively, retrospectively, or utilizing a modified transition approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Discontinued Operations
In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification 205-20, "Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations" ("ASC 205-20"), we classify operations as discontinued when they meet all the criteria to be classified as held for sale and when the sale represents a strategic shift that will have a major impact on our financial condition and results of operations. In determining if a disposal constitutes a strategic shift, we evaluate various qualitative and quantitative factors, an example of which is the impact to segment reporting. We generally consider the disposal of an entire reportable segment to constitute a strategic shift. When operations are identified for discontinued operations reporting, results of operations for all periods presented are reclassified as discontinued operations in the c onsolidated statements of income , assets and liabilities of the operations are reported as discontinued operations on the consolidated balance sheets, and information is recast throughout the notes to the consolidated financial statements to exclude the results of the discontinued operations. Furthermore, ASC 205-20 defines what activities may be classified as discontinued operations with general corporate overhead generally not being allocable to discontinued operations .
On August 25, 2025, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Self Service segment to an affiliate of Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, LLC for an enterprise value of $ 410 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The sale of the Self Service segment reflects our continued efforts to simplify our portfolio of businesses by exiting an asset-intensive business heavily affected by changes in commodity prices. The sale was completed on September 30, 2025. On October 1, 2025, we received the pretax net pro ceeds from the sale and used these proceeds to repay approximately $ 390 million of revolving credit facility borrowings. Accordingly, interest expense attributable to the repaid borrowings has been included in discontinued operations for all periods presented . Additionally, general corporate overhead costs that were historically allocated to the Self Service segment remain within continuing operations for all periods presented. The pretax net proceeds receivable are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025.
In connection with the transaction, we also entered into a transition services agreement to provide certain post-close support services. These support services, most of which last for up to nine months from the closing date of the sale, are in the areas of human resources, tax, finance, information technology, and operations, among others.
The following table summarizes the comparative financial results of discontinued operations which are presented in Net income from discontinued operations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (in millions):

Note 3. Allowance for Credit Losses
Our allowance for credit losses was $ 54 million and $ 56 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The provision for credit losses was $ 7 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and $ 14 million and $ 11 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Note 4. 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 each 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
11
events or circumstances arise that may lead to impairment. We did not identify any indicators of impairment in the first nine months of 2025 that necessitated an interim test of goodwill impairment or indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment for our continuing operations.
Note 5. 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 additional services that are generally billed concurrently with the related product sales, such as the sale of service-type warranties, and diagnostic and repair services.
For Wholesale - North America, 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 our Wholesale - North America segment, 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 segment 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):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,

Note 6. 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 approximately $ 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 September 30, 2025.

Note 9. 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 September 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
In the second quarter of 2025, we entered into Amendments No. 2 and No. 3 to the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement and Amendment No. 2 to the Senior Unsecured Term Loan Agreement. These amendments extended the maturity date of the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement term loan facility from January 5, 2026 to January 5, 2027 as well as provided certain other immaterial modifications.
Note 11. 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
17
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. 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 September 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):
September 30, 2025
Notional Amount Balance Sheet Caption Fair Value - Asset / (Liability)
Interest rate swap agreement $ 400 Other accrued expenses $ —
Interest rate swap agreements 300 Other accrued expenses —
December 31, 2024
Notional Amount Balance Sheet Caption Fair Value - Asset / (Liability)
Interest rate swap agreements $ 400 Other accrued expenses $ —
Interest rate swap agreements 300 Other noncurrent liabilities ( 1 )
The activity related to our cash flow hedges is included in Note 8, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)." As of September 30, 2025, we estimate that $ 2 million of derivative losses (net of tax) included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within the next 12 months.
Note 12. 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 nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):
September 30, 2025 December 31, 2024
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets:
Investments - debt securities $ 62 $ — $ — $ 62 $ 53 $ — $ — $ 53
Investments - equity securities 18 — — 18 14 — — 14

Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 1 $ — $ 1
Contingent consideration liabilities — — 3 3 — — 3 3
Total Liabilities $ — $ — $ 3 $ 3 $ — $ 1 $ 3 $ 4
18
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 11, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." For contingent consideration liabilities, the entire portion is current at September 30, 2025 and is included in Other current liabilities, while at December 31, 2024, the current portion was included in Other current liabilities and the noncurrent portion was 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 September 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the borrowings under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement reasonably approximated the carrying values of $ 998 million and $ 1,164 million, respectively. As of September 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 $ 503 million and $ 487 million, respectively.
The following table provides the carrying and fair value for our other financial instruments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):
As of September 30, 2025
As of December 31, 2024
Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value
U.S. Notes (2028) $ 800 $ 827 $ 800 $ 814
U.S. Notes (2033) 600 641 600 620
Euro Notes (2028) 293 295 259 261
Euro Notes (2031) 880 899 777 796
Note 13. Income Taxes
At the end of each interim period, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply that rate to our interim earnings. We also record the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and the effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.
The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in state and foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences between book and taxable income, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the tax environment changes.
19
Our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was 24.8 %, compared to 29.0 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is primarily attributable to discrete tax benefits, including a $ 10 million reduction to deferred tax liabilities related to tax rate changes enacted in Germany during the third quarter of 2025 and the nonrecurring unfavorable tax effects of the Global Restructuring Plan impairments in the prior year. See Note 6, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" for further information on the impairments.
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. The Company has evaluated the OBBBA enacted during the quarter and estimated its impact on the consolidated financial statements to be immaterial. We will continue to evaluate the full impact of these legislative changes as additional guidance becomes available.

Note 15. Segment and Geographic Information
We have three operating segments: Wholesale - North America; Europe; and Specialty, each of which is presented as a reportable segment. The segments are organized based on a combination of geographic regions served and the types of product lines offered. They are managed separately, as each business serves distinct customer bases and is impacted by different economic conditions.
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 6, "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.
