LKQ CORPORATION ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER 2025

Simplified Portfolio with Successful Closing on Sale of Self Service Segment

Returned $118 Million of Capital to Shareholders;

$40 Million of Share Repurchases and $78 Million in Cash Dividends

Raised Midpoint and Narrowed Range for Full Year 2025 EPS Outlook Following Sale of Self Service

Antioch, TENN (October 30, 2025) -- LKQ Corporation (Nasdaq: LKQ) today reported third quarter 2025 financial results and updates outlook for 2025 following the sale of the Company's Self Service segment. For the periods presented, the Company’s Self Service segment, which was sold on September 30, 2025, has been classified as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, the discussion in this earnings release focuses on continuing operations and excludes discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Third Quarter 2025 Financial and Operating Results

Revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $3,499 million, an increase of 1.3% compared to $3,453 million for the third quarter of 2024. Total parts and services revenue increased 1.1%, which included a 2.6% increase from foreign exchange rates year over year, a 1.2% decrease in parts and services organic revenue and the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures, which decreased revenue by 0.3%. Notably, North American organic revenue on a per day basis decreased 30 basis points against the backdrop of a 6% decline in repairable claims.

Net income2 was $178 million compared to $187 million for the same period of 2024. Diluted earnings per share2 was $0.69 compared to $0.71 for the same period of 2024, a decrease of 2.8%.

On an adjusted basis, net income1,2 was $216 million compared to $226 million for the same period of 2024. Adjusted diluted earnings per share1,2 was $0.84 compared to $0.86 for the same period of 2024, a decrease of 2.3%.

Commenting on the quarter, Justin Jude, President and Chief Executive Officer, said:

“Our third quarter results reflect solid performance in multiple areas of the business. We delivered on our commitment to simplify the business with the divestiture of Self Service, continued to gain market share in a down market in North America, bounced back with double digit margins in Europe and achieved more than 9% organic growth in our Specialty business, all while driving solid free cash flow. This quarter exemplifies the hard work from so many LKQ teammates and I couldn’t be prouder of the team. Our positive operational performance in the quarter, coupled with a one-time tax benefit, gave us the confidence to update our full-year guidance.”

Strategic Initiatives

•Simplify Business Portfolio and Operations: Streamlining operations by focusing on our non-discretionary businesses, divesting non-core assets, and enhancing efficiencies.

•Expand Lean Operating Model Globally: Continuing to scale lean operating model across all regions to drive productivity, improve execution, and accelerate decision-making.

•Invest and Grow Organically: Investing in our core businesses to achieve above market growth and drive market share gains.

•Pursue Disciplined Capital Allocation Strategy: Remaining focused on maximizing shareholder value with a disciplined capital allocation strategy and further strengthening our balance sheet to maintain our competitive market position and resilient business model through all market cycles.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Cash flow from operations3 and free cash flow1,3 were $440 million and $387 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2025. Cash flow from operations3 and free cash flow1.3 were $733 million and $573 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the balance sheet reflected total debt of $4.2 billion and total leverage, as defined in our credit facility, was 2.5x EBITDA.

Returning Capital to Shareholders

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company invested approximately $40 million to repurchase 1.2 million shares of its common stock and distributed $78 million in cash dividends. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company returned approximately $353 million to its shareholders by investing approximately $119 million to repurchase 3.2 million shares of its common stock and distributing $234 million in cash dividends. Since initiating the stock repurchase program in late October 2018, the Company has repurchased approximately 67.7 million shares of its common stock for a total of $2.9 billion through September 30, 2025. An aggregate balance of $1.6 billion remains for potential additional stock repurchases through October 25, 2026. On October 28, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per share of common stock, payable on December 4, 2025, to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 20, 2025.

2025 Outlook

“Our solid results this quarter underscore our confidence in our strategy and the momentum we are building toward sustained value creation. We are deploying capital in alignment with our disciplined capital allocation strategy and in support of our multiyear transformation plan. Following the Self Service divestiture, we have reduced our debt by more than $600 million since the end of the second quarter, further fortifying our balance sheet to navigate a challenging macro environment and reinforce a solid foundation for future growth,” stated Rick Galloway, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

For 2025, management updated the full year outlook (as set forth below) to reflect the divestiture of Self Service:


	2025 Prior Full Year Outlook – Revised for Self Service Divestiture	2025 Updated Full Year Outlook
Organic revenue growth for parts and services	(3.5%) to (1.5%)	(3.0%) to (2.0%)
Diluted EPS2	$2.32 to $2.62	$2.47 to $2.62
Adjusted diluted EPS1,2	$2.85 to $3.15	$3.00 to $3.15
Operating cash flow3	$0.80 to $1.0 billion	$0.825 to $1.025 billion
Free cash flow1,3	$0.525 to $0.675 billion	$0.60 to $0.75 billion

Adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance issued on July 24, 2025 would have been approximately $2.85 to $3.15, with a midpoint of $3.00, when adjusting for the $0.15 impact from the Self Service divestiture. Based on our third quarter performance, the Company is now raising the midpoint of our adjusted diluted earnings per share guidance by $0.07 and narrowing the full-year 2025 range to $3.00 to $3.15.

(1) Non-GAAP measure. See the table accompanying this release that reconciles the actual or forecasted U.S. GAAP measure to the actual or forecasted adjusted measure, which is non-GAAP.

(2) References in this release to Net income and Diluted earnings per share, and the corresponding adjusted figures, reflect amounts from continuing operations attributable to LKQ stockholders.

•we may be adversely affected by legal, regulatory or market responses to global climate change;

•our amended and restated bylaws provide that the courts in the State of Delaware are the exclusive forums for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or employees;

(1) 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.

(2) The sum of the individual revenue change components may not equal the total percentage change due to rounding.

We have presented Segment EBITDA solely as a supplemental disclosure that offers investors, securities analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our segment profit and loss and underlying trends in our ongoing operations. 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. Our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is our Chief Executive Officer, uses Segment EBITDA as the key measure of our segment profit or loss. The CODM uses Segment EBITDA to compare profitability among our segments and evaluate business strategies. This financial measure is included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. We also consider Segment EBITDA to be a useful financial measure in evaluating our operating performance, as it provides investors, securities analysts and other interested parties with supplemental information regarding the underlying trends in our ongoing operations. 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. Refer to the table on the following page for a reconciliation of net income to Segment EBITDA.

We have presented Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as we believe these measures are useful for evaluating the core operating performance of our continuing business across reporting periods and in analyzing our historical operating results. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share adjusted to eliminate the impact of net income and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, income and loss from discontinued operations, restructuring and transaction related expenses, amortization expense related to all acquired intangible assets, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments, or divestitures, impairment charges, direct impacts of the Ukraine/Russia conflict, excess tax benefits and deficiencies from stock-based payments and any tax effect of these adjustments. The tax effect of these adjustments is calculated using the effective tax rate for the applicable period or for certain discrete items the specific tax expense or benefit for the adjustment. Given the variability and volatility of the amount of related transactions in a particular period, management believes that these costs are not core operating expenses and should be adjusted in our calculation of Adjusted Net Income. Our adjustment of the amortization of all acquisition-related intangible assets does not exclude the amortization of other assets, which represents expense that is directly attributable to ongoing operations. Management believes that the adjustment relating to amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets supplements the GAAP information with a measure that can be used to assess the comparability of operating performance. The acquired intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in the amortization of additional intangible assets. These financial measures are used by management in its decision making and overall evaluation of our operating performance and are included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share should not be construed as alternatives to Net Income or Diluted Earnings per Share as determined in accordance with

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report measures similar to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share 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.

Adjusted EBITDA	$	381	$	402	$	1,155	$	1,182

We have presented free cash flow solely as a supplemental disclosure that offers investors, securities analysts and other interested parties useful information to evaluate our liquidity. We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment. We believe free cash flow provides insight into our liquidity and provides useful information to management and investors concerning our cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements, make strategic acquisitions, pay dividends and repurchase stock. We believe free cash flow is used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the liquidity of other companies, many of which present free cash flow when reporting their results. This financial measure is included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management.

We also evaluate our free cash flow by measuring the conversion of Adjusted EBITDA into free cash flow. For the denominator of our conversion ratio, we calculate Adjusted 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, gains and losses on the disposal of businesses, and other unusual income and expense items that affect investing or financing cash flows. We exclude gains and losses on the disposal of businesses as the proceeds are included in investing cash flows, which is outside of free cash flow.

Free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to net cash provided by operating activities and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, net income or net cash provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report Adjusted EBITDA or free cash flow information calculate these metrics 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.
