LKQ Corporation files its Annual Report describing a global distribution business for alternative vehicle parts across North America, Europe and Specialty segments, with about 44,000 employees worldwide.
The company emphasizes profitable growth, a lean operating model and disciplined capital allocation, including divestitures in Poland, Slovenia, Bosnia and its Self Service segment, and an ongoing process to explore a potential sale of the Specialty segment. The Board has also initiated a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives, including a potential sale of the entire company. LKQ outlines significant debt obligations, substantial goodwill and intangibles, and extensive risk factors ranging from economic conditions, competition, intellectual property disputes and environmental regulation to EV adoption, supply chain dependence and data privacy.
LKQ Corporation reported softer 2025 results but strong cash generation and launched a strategic review. Revenue for 2025 was $13.7 billion, down 1.3% from 2024, while diluted EPS from continuing operations fell to $2.31 from $2.53. Adjusted diluted EPS declined to $3.01 from $3.39.
Fourth quarter 2025 revenue was $3.3 billion, up 2.7% year over year, but diluted EPS dropped to $0.29 from $0.58, with adjusted EPS at $0.59 versus $0.78. A $52 million goodwill impairment weighed on profitability. Segment EBITDA margins compressed across North America and Europe.
Despite earnings pressure, LKQ generated $1.1 billion of operating cash flow and $847 million of free cash flow, used $469 million in 2025 for buybacks and dividends, and ended the year with $3.7 billion of debt and total leverage of 2.4x EBITDA. The board is conducting a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives and has already sold the former Self Service segment and begun exploring a potential sale of the Specialty segment.
Management approved a restructuring plan expected to incur $60–$70 million of charges and deliver more than $50 million of annualized cost savings, with over half anticipated in 2026. For 2026, LKQ guides to organic parts and services revenue growth between -0.5% and 1.5%, diluted EPS of $2.35–$2.65, adjusted diluted EPS of $2.90–$3.20, operating cash flow of $900 million–$1.1 billion, and free cash flow of $700–$850 million. The board also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per share.
