LKQ Corporation (LKQ) reported $13.7B in revenue over the twelve months to Jun 30, 2026, up 3.3% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 15 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
LKQ’s sales have held up, but shrinking operating margins and heavier inventory show a more capital-hungry business than its cash flow alone suggests.
By FY2025, operating cash flow was$1.063B , or 1.7x net income of$608M , even as profitability weakened. That widening cash-to-earnings gap coincided with depreciation and amortization rising from$264M in FY2022 to$418M in FY2025, so cash generation held up partly through larger noncash charges rather than improving operating profitability.
