Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

"Business Combinations During the year ended December 31, 2025, we completed acquisitions of two businesses within our Europe segment and during the year ended December 31, 2024, we completed acquisitions of eight businesses within our North America segment and two businesses within our Europe segment. These acquisitions were not material to our financial position or results of operations as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 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 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. On August 1, 2023, we completed the acquisition of all of Uni-Select's issued and outstanding shares 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 Consolidated Statements of Income. We reported Gains on foreign exchange contracts - acquisition related of $49 million for the year ended D …

Stock-Based Compensation In order to attract and retain employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and other persons associated with the Company, we grant equity-based awards under the LKQ Corporation 1998 Equity Incentive Plan (the Equity Incentive Plan). The total number of shares approved by stockholders for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan is 70 million shares, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions. We have granted RSUs, stock options, and restricted stock under the Equity Incentive Plan. Of the shares approved by stockholders for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan, 6.2 million shares remained available for issuance as of December 31, 2025. We expect to issue new or treasury shares of common stock to cover past and future equity grants. RSUs The RSUs we have issued vest over periods of up to five years, subject to a continued service condition. Currently outstanding RSUs (other than PSUs, which are described below) contain either a time-based vesting condition or a combination of a performance-based vesting condition and a time-based vesting condition, in which case both conditions must be met before any RSUs vest. For all of the RSUs containing a performance-based vesting condition, we must report positive diluted earnings per share, subject to certain adjustments, during any fiscal year period within five years following the grant date. Each RSU converts into one share of LKQ common stock on the applicable vesting date. The grant da …

Revenue recognition · 2,496 characters as filed
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 alternative parts and vehicle products including collision parts, which are typically exterior components used in the collision repair process to restore a vehicle's appearance and safety; hard parts, which are typically internal components that are either mechanical in nature or functional components that are replaced as part of routine maintenance; major mechanical parts; and specialty products and accessories, which are vehicle products that improve the performance, functionality and appearance of vehicles. Services revenue includes additional services that are generally billed concurrently with the related product sales, such as the sale of service-type warranties, and diagnostic and repair services. 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; all of which are typically acquired as byproducts of our salvage operations. Revenue from the sale of hulks in our North America segment is recognized based on a price per ton of delivered material when the customer (processor) collects the scrap.

Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of LKQ Corporation and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily …

"Business Combinations We completed acquisitions of four businesses within our Europe segment, one business within our North America segment and one business within our Specialty segment, during the six months ended June 30, 2026. Total acquisition date fair value of the consideration for these acquisitions was $104 million, composed primarily of $66 million of pre-existing loans and other receivables effectively settled upon acquisition, $30 million of cash paid (net of cash acquired) and $4 million of other purchase price obligations (non-interest bearing). During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $36 million of goodwill related to these acquisitions, of which we expect an insignificant amount to be deductible for income tax purposes. In the period between the acquisition dates and June 30, 2026, these acquisitions generated revenue of $14 million and an operating loss of $3 million. On May 12, 2026, we acquired all of the equity interests of a supplier, RSI North America, Inc. and Rock Solid Industries International (Pty) Ltd. (""RSI""), a leading manufacturer of modular stainless steel truck cap systems from facilities in the United States and South Africa. The purchase price was $66 million and consisted of the acquisition-date fair value of pre-existing loans and other receivables between LKQ and RSI that were effectively settled upon acquisition. The goodwill recorded for our acquisition of RSI, which is reported as part of our Specialty segment, represen …

"Commitments and Contingencies We are from time to time subject to various claims and lawsuits incidental to our business. Some of these claims may involve complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties. However, in the opinion of management, based on currently available information, we do not expect that any currently outstanding claims and lawsuits will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On April 22, 2026, a purported stockholder of LKQ filed a putative class action (the Securities Action) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee against LKQ Corporation and certain of its officers. The complaint generally alleges that LKQ made certain materially false and misleading statements and omitted certain material information regarding LKQs acquisition and integration of Uni-Select Incorporated (""Uni-Select"") and Uni-Selects U.S. operating subsidiary FinishMaster, which artificially inflated the market price of LKQ common stock. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages. On June 22, 2026, the court entered an order extending Defendants time to respond to the complaint until after a lead plaintiff has been appointed by the court. An evidentiary hearing on pending motions to appoint a lead plaintiff has been scheduled for August 13, 2026. On May 26, 2026, a derivative action (Derivative Action 1) was filed in the …

"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, 2026, 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 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, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in millions): June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Investments - debt securities $ 71 $ $ $ 71 $ 70 $ $ $ 70 Investments - equity securities 23 23 19 19 Total Assets $ 94 $ $ $ 94 $ 89 $ $ $ 89 Liabilities: Contingent consideration liabilities $ $ $ 1 $ 1 $ $ $ 3 $ 3 Total Liabilities $ $ $ 1 $ 1 $ $ $ 3 $ 3 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.

Income taxes · 1,490 characters as filed
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, 2026 was 26.6%, compared to 27.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025 is primarily attributable to a favorable impact from changes in the Company's geographic distribution of income. Net income taxes paid were $125 million and $106 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Revenue recognition · 2,636 characters as filed
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 alternative parts and vehicle products including collision parts, which are typically exterior components used in the collision repair process to restore a vehicle's appearance and safety; hard parts, which are typically internal components that are either mechanical in nature or functional components that are replaced as part of routine maintenance; major mechanical parts; and specialty products and accessories, which are vehicle products that improve the performance, functionality and appearance of vehicles. Services revenue includes additional services that are generally billed concurrently with the related product sales, such as the sale of service-type warranties, and diagnostic and repair services. 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; all of which are typically acquired as byproducts of our salvage operations. Revenue from the sale of hulks in our North America segment 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): Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2 …
