[10-Q] Genuine Parts Company Quarterly Earnings Report

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

On 07/22/2025 Royce & Associates LP filed Amendment No. 9 to Schedule 13G for Lakeland Industries, Inc. (LAKE). As of the event date 06/30/2025, the investment adviser reports beneficial ownership of 1,071,570 common shares, equal to 11.26 % of the outstanding class. Royce has sole voting and sole dispositive power over the entire holding and reports no shared power.

The shares are held in discretionary investment-management accounts in the ordinary course of business. The filer certifies the position is passive and not intended to influence or control the issuer. Royce files pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b) as an investment adviser, disclaims group status, and separates its ownership from parent Franklin Resources and other affiliates.

Positive

• Royce & Associates LP reports an 11.26 % stake (1,071,570 shares) in Lakeland Industries, indicating continued institutional ownership above the key 5 % disclosure threshold.

Negative

• None.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Institutional adviser maintains 11.26 % LAKE stake; modest confidence signal, limited immediate price impact.

The filing confirms that small-cap specialist Royce & Associates still controls more than one-tenth of Lakeland’s float—1.07 M shares. Because the amendment is passive (13G) rather than active (13D), there is no overt strategic or activist agenda attached to the position. While continued ownership can be read as a vote of confidence, the document provides no information on purchase timing, cost basis, or changes from prior quarters, so valuation implications are minimal. Liquidity support from a long-term institutional holder may appeal to other investors, but the update is largely informational.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Passive 13G means no control effort; >10 % holder still wields decisive voting power if issues arise.

Royce explicitly certifies that its ownership was not acquired to change or influence control. Accordingly, the firm is not seeking board seats or policy shifts, reducing governance pressure on Lakeland. Nevertheless, with sole voting authority over 11 % of shares, Royce could become a swing voter in tightly contested proposals, especially given historically low retail turnout. The disclosure of separate information barriers between Royce and Franklin Resources further limits potential coordinated action. Overall governance impact is currently neutral.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.General

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Genuine Parts Company (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or “its”) for the year ended December 31, 2024. Accordingly, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures herein should be read in conjunction with our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Specifically, we make estimates and assumptions in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for inventory adjustments, the accrual of bad debts, credit losses on guaranteed loans, customer sales returns, volume incentives earned, and the asbestos-related product liability, among others. Inventory adjustments (including adjustments for a majority of inventories that are valued under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method) are accrued on an interim basis and adjusted in the fourth quarter based on the annual book to physical inventory adjustment and LIFO valuation. Reserves for bad debts, credit losses on guaranteed loans and customer sales returns are estimated and accrued on an interim basis based on a consideration of historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Volume incentives are estimated based upon cumulative and projected purchasing levels.

Certain prior year amounts are reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on our previously reported total assets, total liabilities, results of operations, comprehensive income or net cash flows from operating, financing or investing activities.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ended December 31, 2025. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements covered by this quarterly report were issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs and any not listed below were assessed and determined to not be applicable or are expected to have an immaterial impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard requires disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation and additional information for reconciling items, income before tax expense disaggregated between domestic and foreign, income tax expense disaggregated by federal, state and foreign, as well as further information on income taxes paid. The guidance is effective for the year ended December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis, with retrospective application permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our financial statements and disclosures.

Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This standard requires disclosure in the notes to financial statements, at each interim and annual reporting period, of specified information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. Also required is a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated. This guidance is effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and early adoption is permitted. This guidance should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued after the effective date of this update or retrospectively to all prior

periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our financial statements and disclosures.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

The following table provides a detail of prepaid expenses and other current assets reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of:

(in thousands)						June 30, 2025						December 31, 2024
Prepaid expenses						$	170,430					$	118,401
Consideration receivable from vendors						969,800						972,842
Other current assets						500,744						584,067
Total prepaid expenses and other current assets						$	1,640,974					$	1,675,310

Derivatives and Hedging

We are exposed to various risks arising from business operations and market conditions, including fluctuations in certain foreign currencies. We use derivative and non-derivative instruments as risk management tools to mitigate the potential impact of foreign exchange rate risks. The objective of using these tools is to reduce fluctuations in our earnings and cash flows associated with changes in these rates. Derivative instruments are recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value and are designated as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. They are valued using inputs other than quoted prices, such as foreign exchange rates and yield curves.

The following table summarizes the classification and carrying amounts of the derivative instruments and the foreign currency denominated debt, a non-derivative financial instrument, that are designated and qualify as part of hedging relationships (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2025, the fair value of our senior unsecured notes was approximately $3.8 billion, which are designated as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Our valuation technique is based primarily on prices and other relevant information generated by observable transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

Guarantees

We guarantee the borrowings of certain independently controlled automotive parts stores and businesses (“independents”). While such borrowings of the independents are outstanding, we are required to maintain compliance with certain covenants. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

As of June 30, 2025, the total borrowings of the independents subject to guarantee by us were approximately $573 million. These loans generally mature over periods from one to six years. We regularly monitor the performance of these loans and the ongoing operating results, financial condition and ratings from credit rating agencies of the independents that participate in the guarantee programs. In the event that we are required to make payments in connection with these guarantees, we would obtain and liquidate certain collateral pledged by the independents (e.g., accounts receivable and inventory) to recover all or a substantial portion of the amounts paid under the guarantees. We recognize a liability equal to current expected credit losses over the lives of the loans in the guaranteed loan portfolio, based on a consideration of historical experience, current conditions, the nature and expected value of any collateral, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. To date, we have not had significant losses in connection with guarantees of independents’ borrowings and the current expected credit loss reserve is not material. As of June 30, 2025, there are no material guaranteed loans for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and recovery is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.

As of June 30, 2025, we have recognized $37 million of certain assets and liabilities for the guarantees related to the independents’ borrowings. These assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other long-term liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liabilities relate to our noncontingent obligation to stand ready to perform under the guarantee programs and they are distinct from our current expected credit loss reserve.

Supply Chain Finance Programs

Several global financial institutions offer voluntary supply chain finance (“SCF”) programs which enable our suppliers (generally those that grant extended terms), at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables from us to these financial institutions on a non-recourse basis at a rate that takes advantage of our credit rating and may be beneficial to them. We and our suppliers agree on commercial terms for the goods and services we procure, including prices, quantities and payment terms, regardless of whether the supplier elects to participate in the SCF program. Our current payment terms with the majority of our suppliers range from 30 to 360 days. The suppliers sell goods or services, as applicable, to us and they issue the associated invoices to us based on the agreed-upon contractual terms. Then, if they are participating in the SCF program, our suppliers, at their sole discretion, determine which invoices, if any, they want to sell to the financial institutions. In turn, we direct payment to the financial institutions, rather than the suppliers, for the invoices sold to the financial institutions. No guarantees are provided by us or any of our subsidiaries on third-party performance under the SCF program; however, we guarantee the payment by our subsidiaries to the financial institutions participating in the SCF program for the applicable invoices. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SCF program, and we have no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions, as it relates to the SCF program. Accordingly,

amounts due to our suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in the line item accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

All activity related to amounts due to suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program is reflected in cash flows from operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the outstanding payment obligations to the financial institutions were $3.2 billion and $3.3 billion, respectively. The amount settled through the SCF program was $2.2 billion and $2.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Certain outstanding options are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation are not material.

3. Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement

Under our accounts receivable sales agreement (the "A/R Sales Agreement"), we continuously sell designated pools of receivables as they are originated by us and certain U.S. subsidiaries to a separate bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (“SPE”). The A/R Sales Agreement has a one year term expiring in January 2026.

We continue to be involved with the receivables transferred by the SPE to the unaffiliated financial institutions by providing collection services. As cash is collected on sold receivables, the SPE continuously transfers ownership and control of new qualifying receivables to the unaffiliated financial institutions so that the total principal amount outstanding of receivables sold is approximately $1.0 billion at any point in time (which is the maximum amount allowed under the A/R Sales Agreement).

The total principal amount outstanding of receivables sold is approximately $1.0 billion and $1.0 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The amount of receivables pledged as collateral as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is approximately $1.5 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively.

The following table summarizes the activity under the A/R Sales Agreement for the:

						Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)						2025						2024						2025						2024
Receivables sold to the financial institutions and derecognized						$	2,106,139					$	2,135,710					$	4,209,403					$	4,305,752
Cash collected on sold receivables						$	2,106,135					$	2,135,626					$	4,209,391					$	4,305,670

Continuous cash activity related to the A/R Sales Agreement is reflected in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The SPE incurs fees due to the unaffiliated financial institutions related to the accounts receivable sales transactions. Those fees, which totaled $26 million and $31 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, are recorded within other non-operating expense (income) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The SPE has a recourse obligation to repurchase from the unaffiliated financial institutions any previously sold receivables that are not collected due to the occurrence of certain events, including credit quality deterioration and customer sales returns. The reserve recognized for this recourse obligation as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is not material. The servicing liability related to our collection services also is not material, given the high quality of the customers underlying the receivables and the anticipated short collection period.

4. Debt

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On October 30, 2020, we entered into a $1.5 billion Syndicated Facility Agreement (as amended, the "Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility"). On March 20, 2025, we amended the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility to expand the borrowing capacity from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion and extend the maturity date to March 20, 2030. We had no outstanding borrowings under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

Commercial Paper Program

On November 29, 2023, we established a commercial paper program that allows us to issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to $1.5 billion outstanding. We amended our commercial paper program on March 27, 2025 to expand the maximum borrowing capacity from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. The maturities of the commercial paper notes vary but may not exceed 364 days from the date of issuance. The commercial paper notes are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market and rank pari passu with unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The notes are issued at par less a discount representing an interest factor or, if interest bearing, at par. The net proceeds of issuances of the commercial paper notes have been used to repay certain of our unsecured senior notes (as described below) and have been and are expected to continue to be used for general corporate purposes. We had $922 million outstanding under our commercial paper program as of June 30, 2025, presented in Short-term borrowings on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, and no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2024. The weighted average interest rate of our commercial paper outstanding as of June 30, 2025 was 4.69%.

In the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, we present commercial paper activity with original maturities of three months or less on a net basis given their short-term nature.

Notes and Other Borrowings

In addition to funding other working capital requirements, we used commercial paper borrowings to repay the $500 million principal amount of our 1.75% Unsecured Senior Notes due February 1, 2025.

Covenants

Certain borrowings require us to comply with a financial covenant with respect to a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio. At June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

5. Employee Benefit Plans

Net periodic benefit income from our pension plans included the following components for our pension benefits:

						Three Months Ended June 30,												Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands)						2025						2024						2025						2024
Service cost						$	1,576					$	1,711					$	3,101					$	3,438

Net periodic loss (income)						$	189					$	(13,456)					$	367					$	(26,920)

Service cost is recorded in selling, administrative and other expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income while all other components are recorded within other non-operating expense (income). Pension benefits also include amounts related to supplemental retirement plans.

On April 29, 2024, our Board of Directors approved the termination of the frozen U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan, effective September 30, 2024. To support this transition, during 2024 we adjusted our investment strategy to fully hedge plan obligations, including the purchase of annuity contracts using existing plan assets to fund ongoing obligations prior to termination. As a result of these changes, income from our expected return on plan assets is significantly reduced in 2025, with the investment strategy focused on minimizing funded status volatility during the termination process. The final settlement process, including transferring the management

of benefits to an insurance company, is expected to be completed by late 2025 or early 2026, pending regulatory approvals.

6. Acquisitions

We acquired several businesses for approximately $211 million and $651 million, which includes certain non-cash consideration and is net of cash acquired, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. For each acquisition, we allocate the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of their respective acquisition dates. We recorded approximately $103 million of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with these acquisitions, primarily related to a U.S. acquisition in our Industrial segment. Other intangible assets acquired of $50 million consisted of customer relationships with weighted average amortization lives of 20 years. The results of operations for acquired businesses are included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income beginning on their respective acquisition dates. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recognized approximately $37 million and $29 million of revenue related to our current year Automotive and Industrial acquisitions, respectively.

Ending balance, June 30, 2024						$	(512,166)					$	(523,573)					$	(1,035,739)

The AOCL components related to the pension benefits are included in the computation of net periodic benefit income in the Employee Benefit Plans Footnote. Generally, tax effects in AOCL are established at the currently enacted tax rate and reclassified to net income in the same period that the related pre-tax AOCL reclassifications are recognized.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

We are subject to various claims and lawsuits, principally in the United States, and regulatory proceedings worldwide. The liabilities recognized on these claims and other matters are based on the best available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. While litigation of any type contains an element of uncertainty, we believe that our insurance coverage and our defense, and ultimate resolution of pending and reasonably anticipated claims will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Asbestos-Related Product Liability and Insurance Receivable

We maintain a liability for probable and estimable claims and settlements associated with our distribution and sales of asbestos-containing brake and friction products sold primarily before 1991. These claims and settlements are unrelated to our ongoing operations, revenue generating activities, and business strategy.

We regularly conduct a comprehensive legal review of our asbestos liability. We review recent and historical claims data, including, (i) the number of pending claims filed, (ii) the nature and mix of those claims (e.g., disease type, plaintiff type, geography), (iii) the costs to resolve pending claims, and (iv) trends in filing rates and in costs to resolve claims (collectively, the “Claims Data”). We also consider the known latency periods for common asbestos diseases when projecting future filing trends and claims. We provide the Claims Data to a third-party actuarial specialist with expertise in determining the impact of Claim Data on future filing trends and costs. The actuarial specialist assists us in estimating the costs to resolve pending and future claims. We use this analysis to develop our estimate of probable liability on a discounted basis, using risk-free interest rates derived from market data about monetary assets with maturities comparable to those of the projected liability.

Developments may occur that could affect our estimate of asbestos-related product liability and actual results may differ under different assumptions or conditions. These developments include, but are not limited to, significant changes in (i) the key assumptions underlying the estimate, including the number of future claims, the nature and mix of those claims and the average cost of resolving claims, (ii) trial and appellate outcomes, (iii) the law and procedure applicable to these claims and (iv) the financial viability of other codefendants and insurers. Complaints nearly always assert claims against multiple defendants where the damages alleged are typically not attributed to individual defendants so that a defendant’s share of liability may turn on the law of joint and several liability, which can vary by state. Our estimate has been impacted by adverse inflation trends, a backlog of claims building up from court closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, and an evolving legal and product liability environment.

We have 2,864 pending asbestos lawsuits as of June 30, 2025. The amount accrued for pending and future claims was $240 million as of June 30, 2025, which represented our best estimate of the liability within our calculated range of $212 million to $302 million, discounted using a discount rate of 4.24%. The amount accrued for pending and future claims was $256 million as of December 31, 2024, which represented our best estimate of the liability within our calculated range of $219 million to $313 million, discounted using a discount rate of 4.58%. Our undiscounted product liability was $317 million and $336 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. There have been no significant developments to the information presented in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to litigation or commitments and contingencies.

We hold insurance policies that cover some asbestos settlements and defense costs. Annually, we conduct an insurance exhaustion study to model expected recoveries for pending and future claims, and we adjust the insurance receivable balance to reflect the present value of these recoveries. Our receivable for estimated insurance recoveries related to pending and future claims was $40 million and $44 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Environmental Liabilities

Item 103 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe will exceed an applied threshold not to exceed $1 million. Applying this threshold, there are no environmental matters to disclose for this period.

9. Restructuring and Other Costs

In February 2024, we approved and initiated a global restructuring initiative designed to better align our assets and further improve the efficiency of the business. This initiative included an announced voluntary retirement offer in the U.S. in 2024, along with a rationalization and optimization of certain distribution centers, stores and other facilities. The initiative was approved and funded by our corporate office and therefore these costs are not allocated to our segments.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred $100 million in restructuring and other costs, compared to $113 million in the prior year period. We expect to incur total costs up to $210 million related to the global restructuring efforts in 2025 and to substantially complete the initiative by the end of 2025. In total, we expect to incur costs of between $400 million and $430 million related to our global restructuring initiative in 2024 and 2025. We may incur additional charges not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of these initiatives.

Key Performance Indicators

We consider a variety of performance and financial measures in assessing our business, and the key performance indicators used to measure our results are Comparable Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin, Selling, Administrative and Other Expenses ("SG&A"), Segment EBITDA and Segment EBITDA Margin, and Net Income and EBITDA along with their adjusted measures. For more information regarding our key performance indicators please reference the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Results of Operations

Our second quarter results reflect ongoing weakness in market conditions and persistent cost inflation. The operating environment across all of our geographies has several challenges, including recently enacted tariffs in the U.S., ongoing trade uncertainty, high interest rates and cautious customers. Despite these headwinds, execution of our strategic initiatives and cost actions has allowed us to partially mitigate the negative impact of these factors on our results for the quarter.

Net sales increased 3.4% year-over-year to $6.2 billion. Growth in Automotive sales was driven primarily by contributions from acquisitions and foreign exchange benefits. Industrial achieved modest sales growth despite the Purchasing Managers’ Index ("PMI"), a measure of U.S. manufacturing trends, signaling contraction and an overall weak industrial backdrop throughout the quarter.

Second quarter net income declined 13.8% compared to the same prior year period. This was primarily driven by higher depreciation and interest expense from planned investments and lower pension income due to a change in our investing strategy related to our planned U.S. pension plan termination. Additionally, we experienced higher SG&A expenses resulting from planned salary and merit increases and increased rent from lease renewals in a higher interest rate environment. Lastly, restructuring and other costs totaled $46 million in the second quarter, up slightly from $37 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by costs associated with facility closures and additional severance costs. These factors were partially offset by successful execution of our ongoing strategic pricing and sourcing initiatives and acquisitions completed in the prior year, which contributed to the 110 basis point improvement in gross margin. Additionally, disciplined cost management and the continued rollout of our global restructuring program yielded $33 million in operational savings, underscoring our commitment to enhancing business efficiency and adaptability amid a challenging economic environment.

During the first half of 2025, new global trade tariffs were announced on imports into the U.S., including additional tariffs on merchandise inventories sourced directly or indirectly from several countries, such as Canada, China, and Mexico. Since then, various modifications and delays to these tariffs have been implemented, with further changes anticipated, potentially including additional sector-specific tariffs or other measures. Our results were not materially impacted by this tariff activity during the first half of 2025. However, because the long-term effects remain uncertain, we continue to closely monitor the evolving tariff policy environment and the impact it may have on our operations. See Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 for further discussion regarding tariff-related risks.

Net Sales

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net sales increased 3.4% compared to 2024. The increase was driven by a 2.6% benefit from acquisitions and a net favorable impact of foreign currency and other of 0.6%. Comparable sales were essentially flat when compared to 2024.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net sales increased 2.4% compared to 2024. We experienced a 2.8% benefit from acquisitions, slightly offset by a net unfavorable impact of foreign currency and other of 0.1%. Comparable sales were essentially flat when compared to 2024.

Our net sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 were impacted by the challenging macroeconomic environment. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were also impacted by one less selling day in the U.S. compared to the prior period.

Table of Contents

Automotive

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 for Automotive were $3.9 billion, an increase of 5.0% from 2024. The increase is attributable to a 3.4% benefit from acquisitions and a 1.2% net favorable impact of foreign currency and other.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 for Automotive were $7.6 billion, an increase of 3.8% from 2024. The increase is attributable to a 3.7% benefit from acquisitions and a 0.3% net favorable impact of foreign currency and other.

Our sales growth was driven by the strong contribution from our stores that were acquired over the last twelve months, which enhanced our ability to reach and serve our customers, and, to a lesser extent, the favorable impact resulting from the strength of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar. Comparable sales were essentially flat for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, nonetheless they demonstrated sequential improvement for the three months ended June 30, 2025 relative to the preceding quarter.

Industrial

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 for Industrial were $2.3 billion, an increase of 0.7% compared to 2024. The increase in sales reflects a 1.3% benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by a 0.5% unfavorable impact of foreign currency. Comparable sales were essentially flat when compared to 2024.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025 for Industrial were $4.5 billion, an increase of 0.2% compared to 2024. The increase in sales reflects a 1.3% benefit from acquisitions. This was partially offset by a 0.7% unfavorable impact of foreign currency. Comparable sales were essentially flat when compared to 2024.

This modest sales growth was achieved despite the Purchasing Managers’ Index ("PMI") signaling contraction and an overall weak industrial backdrop throughout the quarter.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

Gross profit increased $144 million, or 6.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 and gross margin increased 110 basis points to 37.7% compared to the prior year period. Gross profit increased $243 million, or 5.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and gross margin increased 120 basis points to 37.4% compared to the prior year period. These increases primarily reflect the benefit of successful execution of our ongoing strategic pricing and sourcing initiatives and acquisitions completed in the prior year.

Selling, Administrative and Other Expenses

SG&A expenses increased $124 million, or 7.5%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period. The 7.5% increase comprised 4.3% from acquisitions and 3.2% from other cost increases.

SG&A expenses increased $258 million, or 8.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period. The 8.0% increase comprised 4.8% from acquisitions and 3.2% from other cost increases.

We incurred higher SG&A expenses due to our recent acquisitions, driven largely by additional personnel and rent costs from acquiring more of our U.S. automotive stores from our independent owners. We expect the SG&A impact from acquiring these stores to diminish over time as we realize the impact of anticipated synergies. The remaining increase in SG&A is primarily due to planned salary and merit adjustments and increased rent from lease renewals in a higher interest rate environment. We are managing the impact of higher SG&A through our global restructuring initiatives, which we estimate had a $59 million benefit to SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 28.7% of sales in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 27.6% last year, but improved sequentially from 29.1% of sales during the first quarter of 2025. SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 28.9% of sales in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 27.4% last year. The increases in percentage for both periods in 2025 was primarily driven by increased SG&A expenses from acquisitions and other items, as discussed above, and cost deleveraging from comparable sales that were essentially flat.

Restructuring and Other Costs

We incurred $46 million and $100 million of restructuring and other costs during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as part of our global restructuring plan which was approved and initiated in February 2024 and remains on track to deliver an improved overall cost structure. Restructuring and other costs increased by $8 million compared to the prior period, reflecting costs associated with facility closures and additional

23

Table of Contents

severance costs. For additional details, refer to the Restructuring Footnote in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $24 million and $49 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, related to planned investments in technology and supply chain initiatives.

Non-Operating Expenses and Income

This category primarily includes net interest expense, pension and investment income, foreign currency gains and losses, and fees associated with our Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement ("A/R Sales Agreement").

We incurred $38 million in net non-operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a $26 million change from $12 million in net non-operating expense in the prior year period. The $26 million expense increase primarily includes the effects of an $18 million increase in net interest expense in 2025, due to increased borrowings, as well as a $14 million decrease in pension income as a result of changes in expected returns due to the planned termination of our U.S. pension plan.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred $75 million in net non-operating expenses, a $68 million change from the prior year period. The $68 million expense increase primarily includes the effects of a $38 million increase in net interest expense in 2025, due to increased borrowings, and a $27 million decrease in pension income as a result of changes in expected returns due to the planned termination of our U.S. pension plan.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates were 24.7% and 23.5% for three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our effective income tax rates were 23.9% and 23.5% for six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The rate increase for both the three and six month periods are primarily due to a reduction of excess tax stock compensation benefits and comparative restructuring costs.

Net Income and Adjusted Net Income

Net income was $255 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 13.8% compared to net income of $296 million for the prior year period. On a per share diluted basis, net income was $1.83, a decrease of 13.3% compared to $2.11 in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 net income was $449 million, a decrease of 17.5% compared to net income of $544 million for the prior year period. On a per share diluted basis, net income was $3.23, a decrease of 17.0% compared to $3.89 in the prior year period.

Adjusted net income was $292 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 14.6% compared to the prior year period. On a per share basis, the three months ended June 30, 2025 adjusted net income was $2.10, a decrease of 13.9% compared to $2.44 in the prior year period. Adjusted net income was $535 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 18.0% compared to the prior year period. On a per share basis, the six months ended June 30, 2025 adjusted net income was $3.84, a decrease of 17.6% compared to $4.66 in the prior year period.

In line with our expectations, these decreases are primarily due to continued soft market conditions, planned investments in the business generating higher depreciation and interest costs, lower pension income due to a change in our investing strategy related to our planned U.S. pension plan termination, and increased personnel and rent expenses. The decrease for the six month period was also impacted by lost profit from one less selling day in the U.S. compared to the prior year period. These factors were partially offset by a 110 basis point gross margin improvement driven by the continued execution of ongoing strategic pricing and sourcing initiatives and acquisitions completed in the prior year.

Segment EBITDA

Automotive

Automotive net sales increased 5.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2025, mainly driven by acquisitions and the favorable foreign currency effects primarily with our European operations. While gross margin improved due to store acquisitions and strategic pricing and sourcing initiatives, profitability declined due to inflation driven increases in the costs of salaries and wages, rent, and freight, along with loss of fixed cost leverage from essentially flat comparable sales. As a result, Automotive EBITDA declined 6.9%, and EBITDA margin decreased to 8.6%, down from 9.7% in the prior year period.

Automotive EBITDA decreased $59 million, or 8.7%, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the prior year period, and Automotive EBITDA margin decreased to 8.2% compared to 9.3% in the prior year period.

The increase in operating expenses and declines in Automotive EBITDA and EBITDA margin were driven by the factors detailed above.

Industrial

Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment and contracting PMI, our Industrial results reflect steady execution of our long-term strategic initiatives. Industrial net sales increased 0.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by a 1.3% benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by an unfavorable 0.5% impact of foreign currency translation. Industrial EBITDA increased 1.1%, with EBITDA margin improving slightly to 12.8% compared to 12.7% in the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, Industrial sales grew 0.2%, primarily driven by a 1.3% benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by an unfavorable 0.7% impact of foreign currency translation. EBITDA increased $3 million, or 0.5%, with EBITDA margin holding steady at 12.7%.

Gross profit and operating expenses in our Industrial segment remained largely unchanged over both periods compared to the prior year.

Corporate EBITDA and Other Segment Reconciling items

Corporate EBITDA amounted to a loss of $79 million, or 1.3% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $78 million, or 1.3% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Corporate EBITDA amounted to a loss of $170 million, or 1.4% of net sales, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to a loss of $161 million, or 1.4% of net sales, in the prior year period.

We continue to consolidate certain back-office functions at Corporate to streamline operations and drive improvements. Our operational objective is to maintain Corporate EBITDA within a range of 1.5% to 2.0% of net sales.

Corporate EBITDA loss increased primarily due to increased personnel costs and ongoing investments in technology.

Other unallocated costs represent restructuring and other costs and acquisition and integration related costs and other.

EBITDA

EBITDA was $502 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 1.1% from $507 million during the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $547 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 3.8% from $569 million during the prior year period.

EBITDA was $906 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 3.7% from $941 million during the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA was $1.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 6.0% from $1.1 billion during the prior year period.

In line with our expectations, the decreases in EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are primarily due to continued soft market conditions, lower pension income due to a change in our investing strategy related to our planned U.S. pension plan termination, and increased personnel and rent expenses. These factors were partially offset by a 110 and 120 basis point gross margin improvement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, driven by the continued execution of our strategic pricing and sourcing initiatives as well as contributions from prior-year acquisitions. Additionally, sales were impacted by one less sales day in the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures (see table below for reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following tables set forth reconciliations of net income and diluted EPS to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS, respectively, to account for the impact of adjustments. We also include a reconciliation from net income to adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, and adjusted EBITDA, which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of our core operations. We consider these metrics useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance by removing items management believes are not representative of our operations and may distort our longer-term operating trends. For example, certain of the non-GAAP metrics contained herein exclude costs relating to our global restructuring initiative and acquisition of acquired independent automotive stores, which are one-time events that do not recur in the ordinary course of business. We believe the

non-GAAP metrics included herein also enhance the comparability of our results from period to period and with our competitors, as well as to show ongoing results from operations distinct from items that are infrequent or not associated with our core operations. We do not, nor do we suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information.

Financial Condition

Our cash and cash equivalents balance was $458 million as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of $22 million from December 31, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had net cash provided by operating activities of $169 million, net cash used in investing activities of $318 million and net cash provided by financing activities of $103 million.

Cash from operations decreased mainly due to lower net income and working capital changes primarily driven by accelerated tax payments as compared to prior year. Additionally, the decrease was also impacted by the prior year timing and volume of purchases and related payments in connection with our strategic inventory investments that did not repeat in the current year. We had $318 million in net cash used for investing activities primarily consisting of capital expenditures and acquisitions of $361 million. We had $103 million in net cash provided by financing activities which comprised of $917 million in net proceeds from our commercial paper program, partially offset by $500 million used to repay the principal amount of our 1.75% Unsecured Senior Notes and $277 million for dividends paid to shareholders.

Accounts receivable increased $418 million, or 19.1%, from December 31, 2024. Inventory increased $260 million, or 4.7%. Accounts receivable and inventory were both impacted by an increase in revenues and related product demand in the six months ended June 30, 2025. Accounts payable increased $73 million, or 1.2%, from December 31, 2024, in line with the increase in inventory. Working capital at any point in time is subject to many variables, including seasonality, inventory management and category expansion, the timing of cash receipts and payments, vendor payment terms, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. Total debt of $4.8 billion at June 30, 2025 increased $522 million, or 12.2%, from December 31, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2025, we had $458 million of cash and cash equivalents, as well as $2 billion in undrawn capacity on our Revolving Credit Agreement, before giving effect to commercial paper borrowings. From time to time, we may enter into other credit facilities or financing arrangements to provide additional liquidity and to manage against foreign currency risk. We currently believe that the existing lines of credit, commercial paper program, and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund anticipated operations for the foreseeable future.

As announced in 2024, our Board of Directors approved the termination of the frozen U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan, effective September 30, 2024. Plan settlement is expected between late 2025 and early 2026.

27

Table of Contents

In connection with the anticipated settlement, we adjusted our investment strategy for our pension assets which resulted in lower pension income.

On February 18, 2025, we announced a 3% increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend for 2025. Our Board of Directors increased the cash dividend payable to an annual rate of $4.12 per share compared with the prior year dividend of $4.00 per share. We have paid a cash dividend every year since going public in 1948, and 2025 will mark the 69th consecutive year of increased dividends paid to shareholders.

In March 2025, we amended our Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility to expand the borrowing capacity from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion and extend the maturity date to March 20, 2030. We also amended our commercial paper program to expand the borrowing capacity from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion.

As of June 30, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility. Outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program totaled $922 million, of which $500 million was used to repay the principal amount of our 1.75% Unsecured Senior Notes that matured on February 1, 2025. The net proceeds of the remaining borrowings are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.

We have a strong cash position and solid financial strength to pursue strategic growth opportunities through disciplined, strategic capital deployment. Our key priorities include the reinvestment in our businesses through capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, the dividend and share repurchases. We have plans for additional investments in our businesses to drive growth, improve efficiencies and productivity, and drive shareholder value.

We expect to be able to continue to borrow funds at reasonable rates over the long term. At June 30, 2025, our total average cost of debt was 3.98%, and we remain in compliance with all covenants connected with our borrowings.

Any failure to comply with our debt covenants or restrictions could result in a default under our financing arrangements or could require us to obtain waivers from our lenders for failure to comply with these restrictions. The occurrence of a default that remains uncured or the inability to secure a necessary consent or waiver could create cross defaults under other debt arrangements and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
