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 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, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 22, 2024 ("2023 Form 10-K").

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

During the first quarter of 2023, we adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-04, "Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations" ("ASU 2022-04"), which requires the buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose certain information about its program, including key terms, balance sheet presentation of amounts, outstanding amounts at the end of each period, and rollforwards of balances. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2022-04 on a retrospective basis (see Note 11, "Supply Chain Financing"), except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which will be adopted prospectively in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024 as required. The adoption of ASU 2022-04 did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." The ASU expands public entities' segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets. The ASU is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and requires prospective application with the option to apply it retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Business Combinations

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we completed acquisitions of five businesses within our Wholesale - North America segment and one business within our Europe segment. These acquisitions were not material to our financial position or results of operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, in January 2024, we paid $23 million (€21 million) to a minority shareholder to settle a put option exercised on redeemable shares issued in conjunction with a previous acquisition. This payment was presented within Other financing activities, net in financing activities in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

On February 26, 2023, we entered into a plan of arrangement to acquire all of Uni-Select's issued and outstanding shares. On August 1, 2023, we completed the acquisition of Uni-Select for an aggregate consideration paid of approximately Canadian dollar ("CAD") 2.8 billion ($2.1 billion) (the "Uni-Select Acquisition"). In order to reduce the risk related to changes in CAD foreign exchange rates for the CAD purchase price, we entered into foreign exchange contracts. These foreign exchange contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting, and therefore the changes in fair value were reported in Gains on foreign exchange contracts - acquisition related in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. We reported Gains on foreign exchange contracts - acquisition related of $23 million and $46 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. These foreign exchange contracts were settled in July 2023 ahead of closing of the Uni-Select Acquisition, resulting in total payments received of $49 million. See Note 13, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" for information related to these foreign exchange contracts.

In addition to our acquisition of Uni-Select, we completed acquisitions of three businesses within our Wholesale - North America segment, four businesses within our Europe segment and one business in our Specialty segment, during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The purchase price allocations for these acquisitions are preliminary and are subject to change during the measurement periods, which is not to exceed 12 months from the close of the acquisitions. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there have been no significant adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocations from those disclosed in our December 31, 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements. At this time, we are in the process of finalizing the purchase price allocations, which includes finalizing the acquisition date fair value of certain liabilities assumed and the tax basis of the entities acquired.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the effect of the businesses acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as though the businesses had been acquired as of January 1, 2023, and the businesses acquired during the year ended December 31, 2023 as though they had been acquired as of January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma financial information is based upon accounting estimates and judgments that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma financial information includes the effect of purchase accounting adjustments, such as the adjustment of inventory acquired to fair value, adjustments to depreciation on acquired property, plant and equipment, adjustments to rent expense for above or below market leases, adjustments to amortization on acquired intangible assets, adjustments to interest expense, and the related tax effects. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for the periods presented or of future results. The unaudited pro forma financial information is as follows (in millions):


Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,
2024	2023	2024	2023
Revenue	$	3,715	$	3,889	$	7,425	$	7,655
Net income	186	250	344	485

The pro forma impact of our acquisitions also reflects the elimination of acquisition related expenses (net of tax) of $5 million and $15 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and gains on foreign exchange contracts - acquisition related of $23 million and $46 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. Refer to Note 8, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" for further information regarding our acquisition related expenses.

Note 3. Inventories

We classify our inventory into the following categories: (i) aftermarket and refurbished products, (ii) salvage and remanufactured products, and (iii) manufactured products.

Inventories consist of the following (in millions):


June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Aftermarket and refurbished products	$	2,503	$	2,556
Salvage and remanufactured products	509	510
Manufactured products	52	55
Total inventories	$	3,064	$	3,121

Aftermarket and refurbished products and salvage and remanufactured products are primarily composed of finished goods. As of June 30, 2024, manufactured products inventory was composed of $24 million of raw materials, $7 million of work in process, and $21 million of finished goods. As of December 31, 2023, manufactured products inventory was composed of $26 million of raw materials, $7 million of work in process, and $22 million of finished goods.

Note 4. Allowance for Credit Losses

Our allowance for credit losses was $55 million and $61 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The provision for credit losses was $1 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and $4 million and $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 5. 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 2023, and determined no impairment existed as all of our reporting units had a fair value estimate which exceeded the carrying value by at least 20%. 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 2024 that necessitated an interim test of goodwill impairment or indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment.

Note 6. Equity Method Investments

The carrying value of our Equity method investments were as follows (in millions):


Segment	Ownership as of June 30, 2024	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
MEKO AB (1)	Europe	26.6%	$	144	$	145
Other	13	14
Total	$	157	$	159

(1) As of June 30, 2024, the Level 1 fair value of our investment in MEKO AB ("Mekonomen") was $167 million based on the quoted market price for Mekonomen's common stock using the same foreign exchange rate as the carrying value. Our share of the book value of Mekonomen's net assets exceeded the book value of our investment by $10 million; this difference is primarily related to Mekonomen's Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income balance as of our acquisition date in 2016. We record our equity in the net earnings of Mekonomen on a one quarter lag.

Note 7. 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; 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 8. 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 move forward with our plan, we will 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 the second quarter of 2024, we entered into agreements to divest our operations in Slovenia, which closed in April 2024; Bosnia, which we expect to close in the second half of 2024 subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approval; and Poland, which we expect to close in the third quarter of 2024 subject to customary closing conditions. Our operations in Poland will be sold to Mekonomen, an equity method investment of which we own 26.6%. In connection with entering into the Bosnia and Poland agreements, we concluded that these disposal groups met the held for sale criteria and classified their assets and liabilities as held for sale. As of June 30, 2024, total assets and liabilities of the combined disposal groups held for sale were $46 million and $46 million, recorded to Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other current liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Our decision to exit these and other markets constituted a triggering event to evaluate certain long-lived assets for impairment, and as a result, we incurred and expect to incur impairment charges with the divestiture of Slovenia and as we move forward with plans to exit Bosnia, Poland and any other identified markets. This plan is scheduled to be substantially complete by the end of 2025 with an estimated total incurred cost of between $80 million and $100 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.

2022 Global Restructuring Plan

In the fourth quarter of 2022, we began a restructuring initiative covering all of our reportable segments designed to reduce costs, streamline operations, consolidate facilities and implement other strategic changes to the overall organization. We have incurred and expect to incur costs primarily for employee severance, inventory or other asset write-downs, and exiting facilities. This plan is scheduled to be substantially complete by the end of 2024 with an estimated total incurred cost of between $28 million and $32 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. We completed the organizational design and implementation projects in June 2021, with the remaining projects scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027 with a total incurred cost of between $30 million and $40 million.

Acquisition Integration Plans

As we complete 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. We expect to incur additional expenses of approximately $5 million by the end of 2024 to substantially complete the integration plan related to the Uni-Select Acquisition in our Wholesale - North America segment.

The following table sets forth the expenses incurred related to our restructuring plans (in millions):

Our policy is to reclassify the income tax effect from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the Provision for income taxes when the related gains and losses are released to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 11. Supply Chain Financing

We utilize voluntary supply chain finance programs to support our efforts in negotiating payment term extensions with suppliers as part of our effort to improve our operating cash flows. These programs provide participating suppliers the opportunity to sell their LKQ receivables to financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and the financial institutions. We are not a party to the agreement between the suppliers and financial institutions. The financial institutions participate in the supply chain financing initiative on an uncommitted basis and can cease purchasing receivables from our suppliers at any time. Our obligation to our suppliers, including amount due and payment date, are not impacted by the supplier's decision to sell amounts under these agreements. Our payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing

and amount of payments, are unchanged from the original supplier invoice. All outstanding payments owed under the supply chain finance programs with the participating financial institutions are recorded within Accounts payable on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $445 million and $411 million of Accounts payable outstanding under the arrangements, respectively.

Note 12. Long-Term Obligations

Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement

Our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement consists of (i) an unsecured revolving credit facility of up to a U.S. Dollar equivalent of $2.0 billion, which includes a $150 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $150 million sublimit for swing line loans and (ii) an unsecured term loan facility of up to $500 million. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (i.e. "SOFR") plus the applicable spread or other risk-free interest rates that are applicable for the specified currency plus a spread based on the Company's debt rating and total leverage ratio. On June 5, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement which replaced the Canadian Dollar Offer Rate ("CDOR") with the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") for CAD denominated borrowings.

Senior Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement

The Senior Unsecured Term Loan Credit Agreement ("CAD Note") established an unsecured term loan facility of up to CAD 700 million maturing in July 2026. On June 12, 2024, we entered into Amendment No. 1 to the CAD Note which replaced CDOR with CORRA. The variable interest rate applicable to the CAD Note may be (i) a forward-looking term rate based on CORRA 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 based on the Company's debt rating and total leverage ratio.

Unsecured Senior Notes

On March 13, 2024, LKQ, together with its indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, LKQ Dutch Bond B.V., a private company with limited liability, completed an offering and sale of €750 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.125% Notes due March 13, 2031 ("Euro Notes (2031)").

The Euro Notes (2031) bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per year. Interest on the Euro Notes (2031) is payable annually on each March 13, commencing on March 13, 2025. The Euro Notes (2031) will be initially fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis (the "Guarantees") by the Company and each of its wholly owned U.S. subsidiaries that are guarantors under our Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement and our CAD Note. The Euro Notes (2031) will also be guaranteed by each of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries that in the future agrees to guarantee the Company's obligations under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, the CAD Note, any other Credit Facility Debt or any Capital Markets Debt (both as defined in the Company's preliminary prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024).

Prior to December 13, 2030 (the "Par Call Date"), the Euro Notes (2031) are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (1)(a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date (assuming that the Euro Notes (2031) matured on the Par Call Date) on an annual (ACTUAL/ACTUAL (ICMA)) basis at a rate equal to the Comparable Government Bond Rate (as defined in the Indenture, dated March 13, 2024 (the "Euro Notes (2031) Indenture")) plus 30 basis points, less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption; and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Euro Notes (2031) to be redeemed; plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after the Par Call Date, we may redeem the Euro Notes (2031), in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Euro Notes (2031) being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Euro Notes (2031) and the Guarantees have been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 under the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-277267) filed by the Company with the SEC on February 22, 2024, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement filed by the Company with the SEC on March 1, 2024. In April 2024, the Euro Notes (2031) were approved for listing and registration on the Nasdaq.

Related to the offering and sale of the Euro Notes (2031) in March 2024, we incurred $7 million of fees, which were capitalized as an offset to Long-Term Obligations and are amortized over the term of the Euro Notes (2031).

We used the net proceeds from this offering to (i) pay outstanding indebtedness, including all of the outstanding €500 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.875% senior notes due 2024 (the "Euro Notes (2024)") issued by the Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, LKQ Italia Bondco di LKQ Italia Bondco GP S.r.l e C.S.A.P.A. (f/k/a LKQ Italia Bondco S.p.A.), and (ii) pay accrued interest and related fees, premiums and expenses. The Euro Notes (2031) are governed by the Euro Notes (2031) Indenture, dated as of March 13, 2024.

Interest on the U.S. Notes (2028/33) is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2023. Interest on our 4.13% senior notes due April 2028 (the "Euro Notes (2028)") is payable in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

Note 13. 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 February 2023, we entered into interest rate swap agreements 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 agreements, we pay the fixed interest rate and receive a variable interest rate based on term SOFR that matches a contractually specified rate under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement. The agreements include a total $400 million notional amount maturing in February 2025 with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.63% and a total $300 million notional amount maturing in February 2026 with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.23%. 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.

In March 2023, we entered into forward starting interest rate swaps to hedge the risk of changes in interest rates related to forecasted debt issuance to finance a portion of the Uni-Select Acquisition. These swaps were settled in May 2023 upon issuance of the U.S. Notes (2028/33), resulting in total payments of $13 million. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss and the fair value at the termination date is being reclassified to Interest expense over the term of the debt.

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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the notional amounts, balance sheet classification and fair values of our derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges were as follows (in millions):


June 30, 2024
Notional Amount	Balance Sheet Caption	Fair Value - Asset / (Liability)
Interest rate swap agreements	$	400	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	$	1
Interest rate swap agreements	300	Other noncurrent assets	2


December 31, 2023
Notional Amount	Balance Sheet Caption	Fair Value - Asset / (Liability)
Interest rate swap agreements	$	700	Other noncurrent liabilities	$	(2)

The activity related to our cash flow hedges is included in Note 10, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)." As of June 30, 2024, we estimate that $1 million of derivative gains (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.

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges

To manage the foreign currency exposure related to the Uni-Select Acquisition purchase price (denominated in CAD), we entered into foreign exchange contracts in March 2023 to purchase CAD 1.6 billion for approximately $1.2 billion. These contracts did not qualify for hedge accounting, and therefore, the contracts were adjusted to fair value through the results of operations as of each balance sheet date. We reported Gains on foreign exchange contracts - acquisition related of $23 million and $46 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. These contracts were settled in July 2023 resulting in total payments received of $49 million.

To manage our foreign currency exposure on other non-functional currency denominated intercompany loans, we enter into short-term foreign currency forward contracts from time to time. We have not elected to apply hedge accounting for these transactions, and therefore the contracts are adjusted to fair value through our results of operations as of each balance sheet date. The fair values of these short-term derivative instruments that remained outstanding as of June 30, 2024 were recorded in either Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Other accrued expenses on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and were not material at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Additionally, we hold other short-term derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts, to manage our exposure to variability in the cash flows related to inventory purchases denominated in a non-functional currency. We have not elected to apply hedge accounting for these transactions. The notional amount and fair value of these contracts at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, along with the effect on our results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were not material. The fair values of these contracts were recorded in either Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Other accrued expenses on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Gross vs. Net Presentation for Derivative Instruments

While certain derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty are subject to master netting arrangements, we present our cash flow hedge and other derivative instruments on a gross basis on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact of netting the fair values of these contracts would result in an immaterial decrease to Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other accrued expenses on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Note 14. 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, 2024, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in millions):


June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Assets:
Interest rate swaps	$	-	$	3	$	-	$	3	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-
Investments - debt securities	22	-	-	22	22	-	-	22
Investments - equity securities	6	-	-	6	3	-	-	3
Total Assets	$	28	$	3	$	-	$	31	$	25	$	-	$	-	$	25
Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	2	$	-	$	2
Contingent consideration liabilities	-	-	3	3	-	-	2	2
Total Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	3	$	3	$	-	$	2	$	2	$	4

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 13, "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,

2024 and December 31, 2023 to assume these obligations. The fair values of the U.S. Notes (2028), U.S. Notes (2033), Euro Notes (2024), Euro Notes (2028) and 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the borrowings under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement reasonably approximated the carrying values of $1,234 million and $1,414 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of the borrowings under the CAD Note reasonably approximated the carrying values of $512 million and $529 million, respectively.

The following table provides the carrying and fair value for our other financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in millions):


As of June 30, 2024	As of December 31, 2023
Carrying Value	Fair Value	Carrying Value	Fair Value
U.S. Notes (2028)	$	800	$	807	$	800	$	820
U.S. Notes (2033)	600	614	600	628
Euro Notes (2024)	-	-	552	552
Euro Notes (2028)	268	268	276	276
Euro Notes (2031)	803	802	-	-

Note 15. Employee Benefit Plans

We have funded and unfunded defined benefit plans covering certain employee groups in various European countries and Canada. Local statutory requirements govern many of our European and Canadian plans. The defined benefit plans are mostly closed to new participants and, in some cases, existing participants no longer accrue benefits.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate funded status of the defined benefit plans was a net liability of $80 million and $83 million, respectively, and is reported in Other noncurrent assets, Other noncurrent liabilities and Accrued payroll-related liabilities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Net periodic benefit cost for our defined benefit plans were insignificant for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The service cost component is recorded in Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses, while the other components are recorded to Interest income and other income, net on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 16. 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.

Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 30.8%, compared to 27.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to the 3.9% unfavorable impact of discrete items, mostly related to the 2024 Global Restructuring Plan impairments. Refer to Note 8, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" for further information on the impairments.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") released a framework, referred to as Pillar Two, to implement a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% on certain multinational enterprises. Certain countries have enacted legislation to adopt the Pillar Two framework while several countries are considering or still announcing changes to their tax laws to implement the minimum tax directive. While we do not currently estimate Pillar Two to have a material impact on our effective tax rate, our analysis will continue as the OECD continues to release additional guidance and countries implement legislation.

Note 17. 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):

The key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer, is Segment EBITDA. We use 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.

Overview

LKQ, a member of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, is 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 related body repair 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, Poland, 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.

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 acquisitions which are highly accretive, synergistic and/or add critical capabilities. Additionally, from time to time, we make investments in various businesses to advance our strategic objectives. See Note 2, "Business Combinations," and Note 6, "Equity Method Investments," 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 acquisitions and investments.

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 7, "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 2023 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, 2024.

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 7, "Revenue Recognition" and Note 17, "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.

1 LKQ Europe Plan

We have undertaken the 1 LKQ Europe plan to create structural centralization and standardization of key functions to facilitate the operation of the Europe segment as a single business. Under this multi-year plan, we expect to recognize the following:

•Restructuring expenses - Non-recurring costs resulting directly from the implementation of the 1 LKQ Europe plan from which the business will derive no ongoing benefit. See Note 8, "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 further details.

•Transformation expenses - Period costs incurred to execute the 1 LKQ Europe plan that are expected to contribute to ongoing benefits to the business (e.g. non-capitalizable implementation costs related to a common ERP platform). These expenses are recorded in SG&A expenses.

•Transformation capital expenditures - Capitalizable costs for long-lived assets, such as software and facilities, that directly relate to the execution of the 1 LKQ Europe plan.

Costs related to the 1 LKQ Europe plan are reflected in SG&A expenses, Restructuring and transaction related expenses and Purchases of property, plant and equipment in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We are executing on the various projects associated with the 1 LKQ Europe plan and expect to be completed by the end of 2027. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred $11 million and $19 million, respectively, in costs across all three categories noted above. We expect that costs of the plan, reflecting all three categories noted above, will range between $125 million to $155 million for 2024 through the projected plan completion date in 2027. In the future, we may also identify additional initiatives and projects under the 1 LKQ Europe plan that may result in additional expenditures, although we are currently unable to estimate the range of charges for such potential future initiatives and projects. We expect the plan to continue to enable trade working capital and productivity initiatives that will help fund the plan cost.

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 17, "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.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Revenue

The following table summarizes the changes in revenue by category (in millions):


Three Months Ended June 30,	Percentage Change in Revenue
2024	2023	Organic	Acquisition and Divestiture	Foreign Exchange	Total Change
Parts & services revenue	$	3,552	$	3,259	(2.1)	%	11.8	%	(0.6)	%	9.0	%
Other revenue	159	189	(16.3)	%	0.2	%	(0.1)	%	(16.2)	%
Total revenue	$	3,711	$	3,448	(2.9)	%	11.1	%	(0.6)	%	7.6	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

The increase in parts and services revenue of 9.0% represented increases in segment revenue of 24.8% in Wholesale - North America and 5.2% in Specialty, partially offset by a decrease of 11.1% in Self Service. This overall increase was driven by an 11.8% increase due to the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures, partially offset by an organic parts and services revenue decrease of 2.1% (2.9% decrease on a per day basis) and a 0.6% decrease due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The decrease in other revenue of 16.2% was primarily driven by a decrease in organic revenue of $31 million due to lower commodities prices and volumes compared to the prior year period, which resulted in a $28 million decrease in Self Service and a $3 million decrease in Wholesale - North America. 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, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue increased to 61.2% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 59.0% of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Cost of goods sold reflects increases of 1.5% from Wholesale - North America, 0.6% from Europe, and 0.2% attributable to mix shift towards our lower margin segments, partially offset by a decrease of 0.3% from Self Service. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the changes in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

(2)Related to the Uni-Select Acquisition. See Note 2, "Business Combinations" and Note 13, "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 for further information.

(3)The decrease in Interest income and other income, net is primarily comprised of a $6 million decrease in interest income, primarily related to interest income on the proceeds from the U.S. Notes (2028/33) that were invested in money market funds in 2023 and individually insignificant decreases which in the aggregate had a $2 million impact.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was 30.9%, compared to 28.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily attributable to the 3.4% unfavorable impact of discrete items, mostly related to the 2024 Global Restructuring Plan impairments. Refer to Note 8, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" for further information on the impairments.

See Note 16, "Income Taxes" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was $2 million, which was consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2023.

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, 2023, the Czech koruna, Canadian dollar and euro rates used to translate the 2024 statements of income decreased by 6.7%, 1.9% and 1.1%, respectively, while the pound sterling rate increased by 0.8%. Realized and unrealized currency gains and losses (including the effects of hedge instruments) combined with the translation effect of the change in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar had a net negative effect of $0.07 on diluted earnings per share relative to the prior year period primarily related to the $23 million pretax gain on the foreign exchange forward contracts in the second quarter of 2023 related to the Uni-Select Acquisition.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Revenue

The following table summarizes the changes in revenue by category (in millions):


Six Months Ended June 30,	Percentage Change in Revenue

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 30.8%, compared to 27.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily attributable to the 3.9% unfavorable impact of discrete items, mostly related to the 2024 Global Restructuring Plan impairments. Refer to Note 8, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" for further information on the impairments.

See Note 16, "Income Taxes" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $5 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily related to a decrease in year over year results reported by Mekonomen, which is our largest equity method investment.

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 six months ended June 30, 2023, the Czech koruna and Canadian dollar rates used to translate the 2024 statements of income decreased by 5.5% and 0.8%, respectively, while the pound sterling rate increased by 2.5% and the euro rate was flat. Realized and unrealized currency gains and losses (including the effects of hedge instruments) combined with the translation effect of the change in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar had a net negative effect of $0.13 on diluted earnings per share relative to the prior year period primarily related to the $46 million pretax gain on the foreign exchange forward contracts in the first half of 2023 related to the Uni-Select Acquisition.

Results of Operations-Segment Reporting

We have four reportable segments: Wholesale - North America; Europe; Specialty; and Self Service.

We have presented the growth of our revenue and profitability in our operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our growth and profitability, consistent with how we evaluate our performance, as this statistic removes the translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations, which are outside of our control and do not reflect our operational performance. Constant currency revenue and Segment EBITDA results are calculated by translating prior year revenue and Segment EBITDA in local currency using the current year's currency conversion rate. This non-GAAP financial measure has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other issuers due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation. In addition, not all companies that report revenue or profitability on a constant currency basis calculate such measures in the same manner as we do, and accordingly, our calculations are not necessarily comparable to similarly-named measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies.

The following table presents our financial performance, including third party revenue, total revenue and Segment EBITDA, by reportable segment for the periods indicated (in millions):


Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,

Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2023

Wholesale - North America

Third Party Revenue

The following table summarizes the changes in third party revenue by category in our Wholesale - North America segment (in millions):


Three Months Ended June 30,	Percentage Change in Revenue
Wholesale - North America	2024	2023	Organic	Acquisition and Divestiture	Foreign Exchange	Total Change
Parts & services revenue	$	1,398	$	1,121	(5.3)	%	(1)	30.2	%	(3)	(0.1)	%	24.8	%
Other revenue	75	78	(4.0)	%	(2)	0.5	%	(0.1)	%	(3.6)	%
Total third party revenue	$	1,473	$	1,199	(5.2)	%	28.2	%	(0.1)	%	22.9	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)Parts and services organic revenue decreased 5.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by decreased aftermarket collision volumes which were negatively impacted by lower repairable claims, which we believe are primarily attributable to difficult economic conditions, comparatively warmer weather in the first quarter of 2024 which reduced backlog at body shops going into the second quarter of 2024 and, to a lesser extent, inventory availability issues due to delays in inbound deliveries.

(2)Other organic revenue decreased 4.0%, or $3 million, year over year primarily related to (i) a $3 million decrease in revenue from precious metals due to lower prices, partially offset by higher volumes, (ii) a $1 million decrease in revenue from scrap steel due to lower prices, partially offset by (iii) a $1 million increase in revenue from other scrap (e.g., aluminum) and cores due to higher prices.

(3)Acquisition and divestiture parts and services revenue was an increase of $338 million, or 30.2%, primarily due to the acquisition of Uni-Select in the third quarter of 2023. See Note 2, "Business Combinations" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the acquisition of Uni-Select.

Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA increased $8 million, or 3.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, which includes a positive impact related to the acquisition of Uni-Select in the third quarter of 2023 (Uni-Select increases Segment EBITDA dollars but dilutes the Segment EBITDA percentage), including accelerated synergies, and cost savings initiatives, partially offset by lower collision volumes, lower precious metals prices, a decrease in salvage margins and continued inflationary pressures. We estimate that precious metals and scrap steel prices had a net unfavorable effect of $6 million, or 0.4%, on Segment EBITDA margin relative to the comparable prior year period.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our Wholesale - North America segment:


Wholesale - North America	Percentage of Total Segment Revenue
Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023	20.6	%
Increase (decrease) due to:
Change in gross margin	(5.9)	%	(1)
Segment EBITDA adjustments	0.2	%	(1)
Change in segment operating expenses	2.3	%	(2)
Change in other income and expenses, net	0.1	%
Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024	17.3	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)The decrease in gross margin of 5.9% was driven by the dilutive nature of the acquisition of Uni-Select, which changed the segment's product mix to reflect a greater percentage of paint, body and equipment and maintenance product lines. These product lines have a lower gross margin structure than our other wholesale product lines. The year over year effect will be noted through the third quarter, after which the impact will be annualized. Additionally, gross margin was

negatively affected by the related mix effect resulting from lower aftermarket revenue, which has a higher margin than our other wholesale lines and decreases in salvage margins tied to softening salvage revenue. Reported gross margin also includes a 0.2% reduction primarily related to restructuring expenses incurred as part of the 2024 Global Restructuring Plan. These costs are excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA. See Note 8, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" and Note 17, "Segment and Geographic Information" for further information.

(2)The decrease in segment operating expenses as a percentage of revenue primarily reflects favorable impacts of (i) 1.1% related to lower incentive compensation, (ii) 0.7% from other personnel expenses primarily related to cost savings initiatives, (iii) 0.4% from decreased freight, vehicle, and fuel costs and (iv) other individually immaterial factors representing a 0.1% favorable impact in the aggregate.

Europe

Third Party Revenue

The following table summarizes the changes in third party revenue by category in our Europe segment (in millions):


Three Months Ended June 30,	Percentage Change in Revenue
Europe	2024	2023	Organic	Acquisition and Divestiture (2)	Foreign Exchange (3)	Total Change
Parts & services revenue	$	1,633	$	1,633	0.3	%	(1)	0.8	%	(1.1)	%	-	%
Other revenue	6	5	10.9	%	-	%	(0.8)	%	10.1	%
Total third party revenue	$	1,639	$	1,638	0.4	%	0.8	%	(1.1)	%	-	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)Parts and services organic revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 0.3% (1.3% decrease on a per day basis), primarily driven by an increased number of selling days in the current quarter compared to the prior year period, partially offset by decreased volumes as a result of difficult economic conditions, and strike activity and heightened competition in certain markets.

(2)Acquisition and divestiture revenue was an increase of $13 million, or 0.8%, primarily related to our acquisition of four wholesale businesses from the beginning of the second quarter of 2023 through the one-year anniversary of the acquisition dates.

(3)Exchange rates decreased our revenue growth by $18 million, or 1.1%, primarily due to the stronger U.S. dollar against the euro and Czech koruna, partially offset by the weaker U.S. dollar against the pound sterling for the three months ended June 30, 2024 relative to the prior year period.

Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA decreased $14 million, or 7.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. On a constant currency basis (i.e., excluding translation impact), Segment EBITDA decreased by $12 million, or 6.3%, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in dollar terms is mainly attributable to the negative impact of higher supplier costs and unfavorable customer mix, which more than offset the effects of lower operating expenses and organic revenue growth of $6 million. Refer to the Foreign Currency Impact discussion within the Results of Operations-Consolidated section above for further detail regarding foreign currency impact on our results for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our Europe segment:


Europe	Percentage of Total Segment Revenue
Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023	11.5	%
Increase (decrease) due to:
Change in gross margin	(1.6)	%	(1)
Segment EBITDA adjustments	0.3	%	(1)
Change in segment operating expenses	0.3	%	(2)
Change in other income and expenses, net	0.1	%
Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024	10.6	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to unfavorable customer mix and inflationary pressures that were not fully offset by pricing initiatives. Additionally, reported gross margin includes a 0.3% reduction primarily related to restructuring expenses incurred as part of the 2024 Global Restructuring Plan. These costs are excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA. See Note 8, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" and Note 17, "Segment and Geographic Information" for further information.

(2)The decrease in segment operating expenses as a percentage of revenue reflects favorable impacts of (i) 0.9% due to a reduction in personnel related accruals previously recorded as a result of union related negotiations, (ii) 0.2% due to lower energy and utilities costs compared to the prior year period, and (iii) other individually immaterial factors representing a 0.1% favorable impact in aggregate, partially offset by unfavorable impacts of (iv) 0.5% from increased personnel costs mainly due to wage inflation, (v) 0.2% from professional fees related to several strategic central and regional information technology initiatives, and (vi) 0.2% from increased outbound freight and logistics costs.

Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)Parts and services organic revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 2.1% primarily due to demand softness in the recreational vehicle ("RV") product line, as RV unit retail sales have declined year over year.

(2)Acquisition and divestiture revenue was a net increase of $33 million, or 7.4%, primarily related to our acquisition of one Specialty business in 2023.

Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA decreased $1 million, or 2.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period primarily due to a lower gross margin percentage.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our Specialty segment:


Specialty	Percentage of Total Segment Revenue
Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023	9.5	%
Increase (decrease) due to:
Change in gross margin	(0.6)	%	(1)
Change in segment operating expenses	0.1	%	(2)

Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)Parts and services organic revenue decreased 11.1% (12.1% on a per day basis) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by lower parts volumes.

(2)Other organic revenue decreased 26.7%, or $28 million, year over year due to a $15 million decrease in revenue from scrap steel primarily related to lower volumes and, to a lesser extent, lower prices and a $13 million decrease in revenue from precious metals due to lower prices and lower volumes.

Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA increased $6 million, or 93.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. The increase is driven by improved vehicle procurement costs and improvements in operational productivity, partially offset by the unfavorable movements in commodity prices and lower volumes compared to the prior year period. Decreases in precious metals prices contributed an estimated $5 million decline in Segment EBITDA relative to the three months ended June 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, scrap steel prices had a $5 million unfavorable impact on Segment EBITDA, compared to a $2 million unfavorable impact during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The unfavorable impacts for the three months ended June 30, 2024 resulted from the decrease in scrap steel prices between the date we purchased a vehicle, which influences the price we pay for a vehicle, and the date we scrapped a vehicle, which influences the price we receive for scrapping a vehicle.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our Self Service segment:


Self Service	Percentage of Total Segment Revenue
Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023	4.1	%
Increase (decrease) due to:
Change in gross margin	8.8	%	(1)
Change in segment operating expenses	(3.0)	%	(2)
Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2024	9.9	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1) The increase in gross margin is attributable to improvements in vehicle procurement costs, which more than offset the negative effects from lower commodities prices.

(2)The increase in segment operating expenses as a percentage of revenue reflects negative leverage effect of 6.0% from decreases in metals revenue, partially offset by other individually immaterial factors representing a 3.0% favorable impact in the aggregate.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Wholesale - North America

Third Party Revenue

The following table summarizes the changes in third party revenue by category in our Wholesale - North America segment (in millions):


Six Months Ended June 30,	Percentage Change in Revenue
Wholesale - North America	2024	2023	Organic	Acquisition and Divestiture	Foreign Exchange	Total Change
Parts & services revenue	$	2,820	$	2,269	(4.3)	%	(1)	28.6	%	(3)	-	%	24.3	%
Other revenue	153	159	(4.4)	%	(2)	0.8	%	-	%	(3.7)	%
Total third party revenue	$	2,973	$	2,428	(4.3)	%	26.8	%	-	%	22.5	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)Parts and services organic revenue decreased 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by decreased aftermarket collision volumes which were negatively impacted by lower repairable claims, which we believe are primarily attributable to difficult economic conditions, comparatively warmer weather in the first quarter of 2024 which reduced backlog at body shops going into the second quarter of 2024 and, to a lesser extent, inventory availability issues due to delays in inbound deliveries.

(2)Other organic revenue decreased 4.4%, or $7 million, year over year primarily related to (i) a $12 million decrease in revenue from precious metals due to lower prices, partially offset by higher volumes and (ii) a $1 million decrease in revenue from scrap steel due to lower prices, partially offset by higher volumes, partially offset by (iii) a $6 million increase in revenue from other scrap (e.g., aluminum) and cores due to higher volumes and higher prices.

(3)Acquisition and divestiture parts and services revenue was an increase of $650 million, or 28.6%, primarily due to the acquisition of Uni-Select in the third quarter of 2023. See Note 2, "Business Combinations" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the acquisition of Uni-Select.

Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA dollars were flat for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, which includes a positive impact related to the acquisition of Uni-Select in the third quarter of 2023 (Uni-Select increases Segment EBITDA dollars but dilutes the Segment EBITDA percentage), primarily offset by lower aftermarket volumes, a decrease in salvage margins and lower metals pricing and continued inflationary pressures. We estimate that precious metals and scrap steel prices had a net unfavorable effect of $13 million, or 0.4%, on Segment EBITDA margin relative to the comparable prior year period.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our Wholesale - North America segment:


Wholesale - North America	Percentage of Total Segment Revenue
Segment EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023	20.6	%
Increase (decrease) due to:
Change in gross margin	(5.6)	%	(1)
Change in segment operating expenses	1.9	%	(2)
Change in other income and expenses, net	(0.1)	%	(3)
Segment EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024	16.8	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)The decrease in gross margin of 5.6% was driven by the dilutive nature of the acquisition of Uni-Select, which changed the segment's product mix to reflect a greater percentage of paint, body and equipment and maintenance product lines. These product lines have a lower gross margin structure than our other wholesale product lines. The year over year effect will be noted through the third quarter, after which the impact will be annualized. Additionally, gross margin was negatively affected by the related mix effect resulting from lower aftermarket revenue, which has a higher margin that our other wholesale lines as well as decreases in salvage margins tied to softening salvage revenue and the effects of higher car costs.

(2)The decrease in segment operating expenses as a percentage of revenue primarily reflects favorable impacts of (i) 0.8% from lower incentive compensation, (ii) 0.4% from decreased freight, vehicle, and fuel costs, (iii) 0.3% from higher charitable contributions in the prior year period and (iv) other individually immaterial factors representing a 0.4% favorable impact in the aggregate.

(3)The unfavorable impact in other income and expenses, net was primarily related to funds received to settle an eminent domain matter in 2023.

Europe

Third Party Revenue

The following table summarizes the changes in third party revenue by category in our Europe segment (in millions):


Six Months Ended June 30,	Percentage Change in Revenue
Europe	2024	2023	Organic	Acquisition and Divestiture (2)	Foreign Exchange (3)	Total Change
Parts & services revenue	$	3,270	$	3,181	1.5	%	(1)	1.1	%	0.2	%	2.8	%
Other revenue	13	12	9.8	%	-	%	0.3	%	10.2	%
Total third party revenue	$	3,283	$	3,193	1.5	%	1.1	%	0.2	%	2.8	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)Parts and services organic revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by 1.5%, primarily driven by increased volumes in the first quarter of 2024 and, to a lesser extent, pricing initiatives to offset increased costs resulting from inflationary pressures.

(2)Acquisition and divestiture revenue was a net increase of $34 million, or 1.1%, primarily related to our acquisition of five wholesale businesses from the beginning of 2023 through the one-year anniversary of the acquisition dates.

(3)Exchange rates increased our revenue growth by $8 million, or 0.2%, primarily due to the weaker U.S. dollar against the pound sterling, partially offset by the stronger U.S. dollar against the Czech koruna for the six months ended June 30, 2024 relative to the prior year period.

Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA decreased $22 million, or 6.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. On a constant currency basis (i.e., excluding translation impact), Segment EBITDA decreased by $23 million, or 6.7%, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in dollar terms is mainly attributable to lower gross margin and the negative impact of higher operating expenses, primarily related to increased personnel costs, that more than offset the effects of organic revenue growth of $48 million. Refer to the Foreign Currency Impact discussion within the Results of Operations-Consolidated

section above for further detail regarding foreign currency impact on our results for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our Europe segment:


Europe	Percentage of Total Segment Revenue
Segment EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023	10.6	%
Increase (decrease) due to:
Change in gross margin	(0.8)	%	(1)
Segment EBITDA adjustments	0.5	%	(1)
Change in segment operating expenses	(0.7)	%	(2)
Change in other expense, net	0.1	%
Segment EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024	9.7	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)The decrease in gross margin was primarily attributable to unfavorable customer mix and inflationary pressures that were not fully offset by pricing initiatives. Additionally, reported gross margin includes a 0.5% reduction primarily related to restructuring expenses incurred as part of the 2024 Global Restructuring Plan. These costs are excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA. See Note 8, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" and Note 17, "Segment and Geographic Information" for further information.

(2)The increase in segment operating expenses as a percentage of revenue reflects unfavorable impacts of (i) 0.3% from increased personnel costs mainly due to wage inflation, (ii) 0.3% from increased outbound freight and logistics costs, (iii) 0.2% from professional fees related to several strategic central and regional information technology initiatives, and (iv) other individually immaterial factors representing a 0.2% unfavorable impact in aggregate, partially offset by a favorable impact of (v) 0.3% due to lower energy and utilities costs compared to the prior year period across all geographies.

(1)Parts and services organic revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 1.8% primarily due to demand softness in the RV product line, as RV unit retail sales have declined year over year.

(2)Acquisition and divestiture revenue was a net increase of $65 million, or 7.7%, primarily related to our acquisition of one Specialty business in 2023.

Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA decreased $5 million, or 6.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the organic revenue decline and the decline in gross margin as explained below.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our Specialty segment:


Specialty	Percentage of Total Segment Revenue
Segment EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023	8.7	%
Increase (decrease) due to:
Change in gross margin	(1.1)	%	(1)
Change in segment operating expenses	0.1	%	(2)
Segment EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024	7.7	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)The decrease in gross margin was primarily driven by higher discounts to help maintain sales volume.

(2)The decrease in segment operating expenses as a percentage of revenue was due to individually immaterial factors representing a 0.3% favorable impact in the aggregate, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of 0.2% due to duplicate facility costs associated with consolidating distribution centers.

Self Service

Third Party Revenue

The following table summarizes the changes in third party revenue by category in our Self Service segment (in millions):


Six Months Ended June 30,	Percentage Change in Revenue
Self Service	2024	2023	Organic	Acquisition and Divestiture	Foreign Exchange	Total Change
Parts & services revenue	$	109	$	123	(10.8)	%	(1)	-	%	-	%	(10.8)	%

Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)Parts and services organic revenue decreased 10.8% (11.3% on a per day basis) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by lower parts volumes from a reduced number of customer admissions, which were impacted by adverse weather conditions (primarily in California).

(2)Other organic revenue decreased 25.4%, or $54 million, year over year due to a $31 million decrease in revenue from precious metals due to lower prices and lower volumes and a $23 million decrease in revenue from scrap steel primarily related to lower volumes and, to a lesser extent, lower prices.

Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA dollars were flat for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. This is driven by improved vehicle procurement costs and improvements in operational productivity, partially offset by unfavorable movements in commodity prices and lower volumes compared to the prior year period. Decreases in precious metals prices contributed an estimated $13 million decline in Segment EBITDA relative to the six months ended June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, scrap steel prices had a $1 million unfavorable impact on Segment EBITDA, compared to a $9 million favorable impact during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The unfavorable impacts for the six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted from decreases in scrap steel prices between the date we purchased a vehicle, which influences the price we pay for a vehicle, and the date we scrapped a vehicle, which influences the price we receive for scrapping a vehicle.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our Self Service segment:


Self Service	Percentage of Total Segment Revenue
Segment EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023	8.7	%
Increase (decrease) due to:
Change in gross margin	5.9	%	(1)
Segment EBITDA adjustments	(0.2)	%	(1)
Change in segment operating expenses	(3.5)	%	(2)
Segment EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2024	10.9	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1) The increase in gross margin is attributable to improvements in vehicle procurement costs, which more than offset the negative effects from lower commodities prices. Additionally, prior year reported gross margin included a 0.2% reduction primarily related to restructuring expenses incurred as part of the 2022 Global Restructuring Plan. These costs are excluded from the calculation of Segment EBITDA. See Note 8, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses" and Note 17, "Segment and Geographic Information" for further information.

(2)The increase in segment operating expenses as a percentage of revenue reflects negative leverage effect of 5.6% from decreases in metals revenue, partially offset by other individually immaterial factors representing a 2.1% favorable impact in the aggregate.

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, 2024	December 31, 2023
Capacity under revolving credit facilities	$	2,000	$	2,000
Less: Revolving credit facilities borrowings	734	914
Less: Letters of credit	114	110
Availability under credit revolving facilities	1,152	976
Add: Cash and cash equivalents	276	299
Total liquidity	$	1,428	$	1,275

We had $1,152 millionavailable underour revolving credit facilities as of June 30, 2024. Combined with $276 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024, we had $1,428 million in available liquidity, an increase of $153 million from ouravailable liquidity as of December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of reducing our revolving credit facilities borrowings by $180 million.

As of June 30, 2024, we had $4,334 million total debt outstanding and $44 million current debt, including the following senior debt (in millions):


June 30, 2024
Maturity Date	Interest Rate	Amount Outstanding
Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement:
Term loan payable	January 2026	6.82	%	$	500
Revolving credit facilities	January 2028	6.68	%	(1)	734

Senior Unsecured Term Loan Agreement:
Term loan payable (CAD 700 million)	July 2026	6.44	%	512

Unsecured Senior Notes:
U.S. Notes (2028)	June 2028	5.75	%	800
U.S. Notes (2033)	June 2033	6.25	%	600
Euro Notes (2028) (€250 million)	April 2028	4.13	%	268
Euro Notes (2031) (€750 million)	March 2031	4.13	%	803

(1) Interest rate derived via a weighted average

In March 2024, we completed an offering of €750 million aggregate principal amount of the 4.125% Euro Notes (2031). We used the net proceeds from the offering and cash on hand to pay outstanding indebtedness, including all of the outstanding €500 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.875% Euro Notes (2024) as well as Euro revolver borrowings, and pay accrued interest and related fees, premiums and expenses.

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 and complete synergistic acquisitions.

A summary of the dividend activity for our common stock for the six months endedJune 30, 2024 is as follows:


Dividend Amount	Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date
$0.30	February 20, 2024	March 14, 2024	March 28, 2024
$0.30	April 22, 2024	May 16, 2024	May 30, 2024

On July 23, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on August 29, 2024, to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 15, 2024.

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 $1,428 million of total liquidity as of June 30, 2024 and $44 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.

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, 2024. 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, 2024:


Covenant Level	Ratio Achieved as of June 30, 2024
Maximum total leverage ratio	4.00 : 1.00	2.3
Minimum interest coverage ratio	3.00 : 1.00	7.9

The spread applied to the interest rate on our credit facility borrowings increased in the third quarter of 2023 and remained the same through the second quarter of 2024 as a result of the total leverage ratio rising above 2.0.

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.

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 11, "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.

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 6.2% at June 30, 2024. Including our senior notes and CAD Note, our overall weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 5.6%at June 30, 2024.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 CORRA 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 12, "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 13, "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 $1,746 million and $1,943 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Of these amounts, there were no current maturities atJune 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The scheduled maturities of long-term obligations outstanding at June 30, 2024 are as follows (in millions):


Amount
Six months ending December 31, 2024(1)	$	25
Years ending December 31:
2025	32
2026	1,028
2027	12
2028	1,809
Thereafter	1,428
Total debt (2)	$	4,334

(1)Long-term obligations maturing by December 31, 2024 include $15 million of short-term debt that may be extended beyond the current year ending December 31, 2024.

(2)The total debt amounts presented above reflect the gross values to be repaid (excluding debt issuance costs and unamortized bond discounts of $37 million as of June 30, 2024).

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $276 million, of which $225 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.

The following table sets forth a summary of our aftermarket and manufactured inventory procurement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):


Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,
2024	2023	Change	2024	2023	Change
Wholesale - North America	$	528	$	263	$	265	$	1,050	$	536	$	514	(1)
Europe	927	914	13		1,884	1,834	50	(2)
Specialty	343	309	34	679	560	119	(3)
Total	$	1,798	$	1,486	$	312	$	3,613	$	2,930	$	683

(1)Inventory purchases across the Wholesale - North America segment increased in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the acquisition of Uni-Select.

(2)The increase in inventory purchases in our Europe segment included an increase of $12 million attributable to the increase in the value of the pound sterling in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period.

(3)The increase in inventory purchases in the Specialty segment compared to the prior year period was primarily due to decreased inventory purchases in the prior year period to align inventory levels with demand.

The following table sets forth a summary of our global wholesale salvage and self service procurement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):


Three Months Ended June 30,	Six Months Ended June 30,
2024	2023	% Change	2024	2023	% Change
Wholesale - North America salvage vehicles	66	65	1.5	%	127	129	(1.6)	%
Europe wholesale salvage vehicles	7	7	-	%	16	15	6.7	%
Self Service salvage vehicles	112	143	(21.7)	%	223	280	(20.4)	%

Wholesale - North America salvage purchases decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2024 relative to the prior year period due to working down the backlog caused by ramped up purchasing in the fourth quarter of 2023. Self Service salvage purchases in 2024 decreased relative to the prior year period due to a focus on reducing car cost.

The following table summarizes the components of the year over year changes in cash provided by operating activities (in millions):

(1)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 $169 million in incremental cash outflows in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023, including $101 million in our Europe segment primarily due to lower purchasing levels in the prior period, $68 million in our Specialty segment due to the benefit in the prior year period of decreasing inventory purchasing levels to align with softening demand and $13 million in our Wholesale - North America segment, partially offset by our Self Service segment which contributed a $13 million lower cash outflow.

•Accounts payable produced $76 million in incremental cash inflows in the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 on a consolidated basis. This was primarily attributable to higher cash inflows in our Europe segment of $81 million mainly due to timing of payments.

(2) Primarily reflects the aggregate effect of lower cash earnings and higher interest payments (primarily due to additional borrowings for the Uni-Select Acquisition and higher interest rates), partially offset by lower cash paid for taxes during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $178 million and $185 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We invested $30 million and $52 million of cash in business acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Property, plant and equipment purchases were $146 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $136 million in the prior year period.

The following table reconciles Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow (in millions):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2024	2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	466	$	703
Less: purchases of property, plant and equipment	146	136
Free cash flow	$	320	$	567

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used in financing activities totaled $276 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $1,099 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease is primarily due to proceeds (net of unamortized bond discounts) of $1,394 million from the issuance of the U.S. Notes (2028/33) for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Cash outflows for share repurchases were $155 million and dividends paid were $161 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $8 million for share repurchases and $148 million for dividends paid for the same period of 2023. Net debt borrowings (net of unamortized bond discounts) were $80 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net repayments on our debt of $90 million (excluding proceeds from the issuance of the U.S. Notes (2028/33) of $1,394 million) for the same period of 2023.

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.
