About LKQ

LKQ helps people keep their vehicles on the road by providing affordable repair parts. It sells recycled and new components to body shops and mechanical garages. These parts offer a lower-cost alternative to brand-new pieces from car manufacturers.

What Parts Move the Business?

North America Segment: Alternative collision parts, paint, and mechanical components for cars and trucks in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
Europe Segment: Maintenance parts like brakes and filters for older vehicles; operates in approximately 20 countries.
Specialty Segment: Accessories for recreational vehicles, off-road trucks, and boats; currently under a potential sale review.

Pruning the Portfolio

Completed the sale of the Self Service segment to an affiliate of Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, LLC on September 30, 2025.
Divested specific business operations in Poland, Slovenia, and Bosnia during 2024 to simplify the European footprint.
Commenced a process in 2025 to explore the potential sale of the Specialty segment.
Initiated a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives in January 2026, which may include a potential sale of the entire company.

Leading a Circular Economy

LKQ runs a massive recycling network that pulls usable parts from salvaged vehicles and sells the remaining scrap metal. This process reduces the need for new manufacturing and helps manage waste in the global automotive industry.

The Recent Numbers

Revenue was $3.3 billion in Q4 2025, down 1.3% from $3.4 billion in Q4 2024.
Net income reached $66 million in Q4 2025, a decrease of 57.7% year-over-year.
Free cash flow hit $274 million in Q4 2025, up 83.9% from $149 million in Q4 2024.
Operating income was $214 million in Q4 2025, down 21% from $271 million in the previous year.

Evolution Toward Efficiency

LKQ has transformed from a domestic salvage business into a global distributor focused on lean operations. By divesting non-core units and centralizing its technology, the company is prioritizing cash flow and portfolio simplicity.
