Significant accounting policies and other disclosures normally provided have been omitted since they are disclosed in our Annual Report and have not changed.
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions forthat affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Specifically, the Company makeswe make estimates and assumptions in its interimour unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for inventory adjustments, the accrual of bad debts, credit losses on guaranteed loans, customer sales returns, and volume incentives earned, 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, which is performed each year-end.valuation. Reserves for bad debts, credit losses on guaranteed loans and customer sales returns are estimated and accrued on an interim basis based uponon a consideration of historical experience.experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Volume incentives are estimated based upon cumulative and projected purchasing levels. The estimates and assumptions for interim reporting may change upon final determination at year-end, and such changes may be significant.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’sour financial results for the interim periods have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.

Note D – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014,Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issuedin the form of Accounting Standards UpdateUpdates (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), which will create a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, among others.
The Company has established a cross-functional implementation team to evaluate and implement the new standard related to the recognitionFASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). We consider the applicability and impact of revenue from contracts with customers. The Company primarily sells goodsall ASUs and recognizes revenue at point of sale or delivery and this will not change under the new standard. We are completing an analysis of revenue streams at each of the business units and are evaluating the impact the new standard may have on revenue recognition. We expect to finalize ourdetermined that any recently adopted accounting policy in the short-term and implement any necessary changes to processes and controls in the fourth quarter. In addition, the Company is evaluating recently issued guidance on practical expedients as part of the transition decision.
The Company plans to use the modified retrospective adoption method and does not believe there will be a material impact to the Company’s consolidated revenues upon adoption. However, the Company will present expanded disclosure in accordance with the requirements of the standard. The Company will continue to evaluate the impacts of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 and the preliminary assessments are subject to change.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"), which modifies existing requirements regarding measuring first-in, first-out and average cost inventory at the lower of cost or market. Under existing standards, the market amount requires consideration of replacement cost, net realizable value (“NRV”), and NRV less an approximately normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 replaces market with NRV, defined as estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This eliminates the need to determine and consider replacement cost or NRV less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. The Company adopted ASU 2015-11 on January 1, 2017 and itpronouncements did not have a material impact to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and it will not have a material impact on the annual consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"), which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than twelve months. Expanded disclosures with additional qualitative and quantitative information will also be required. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on itsour condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. As disclosed in the leased properties footnote in the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the future minimum payments under noncancelable operating leasesall recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted are approximately $865.0 million and the Company believes the adoption of this standard willnot applicable or are expected to have a significantan immaterial impact on the consolidated balance sheets.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09") that changes the accounting for certain aspects of share-based compensation to employees including forfeitures, employer tax withholding, and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or expense. ASU 2016-09 also clarifies the statement of cash flows presentation for certain components of share-based compensation, which prospectively reclassifies cash flows from excess tax benefits of share-based compensation currently disclosed in financing activities to operating activities in the period of adoption. The guidance will increase income tax expense volatility, as well as the Company's cash flows from operations. In addition, the Company did not elect to change shares withheld for employment income tax purposes, or the current methodology of estimating forfeitures upon adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not have a material impact to the Company'sour condensed consolidated financial statementsstatements.
Debt
1.750% and 2.750% Senior Notes Offering
On January 6, 2022, we issued $500 million of unsecured 1.750% Senior Notes due 2025. Simultaneously, we issued $500 million of unsecured 2.750% Senior Notes due 2032. For both offerings, interest is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2022.
We utilized the proceeds from these offerings to repay borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, which were incurred to finance a significant portion of the Kaman Distribution Group ("KDG") acquisition.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2022 the fair value of our senior unsecured notes was approximately $3 billion, which are designated as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Guarantees
We guarantee the borrowings of certain independently controlled automotive parts stores and businesses (“independents”) and certain other affiliates in which we have a noncontrolling equity ownership interest (“affiliates”). While such borrowings of the independents and affiliates are outstanding, we are required to maintain compliance with certain covenants. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
As of June 30, 2022, the total borrowings of the independents and affiliates subject to guarantee by us were approximately $902 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 and affiliates 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 or affiliates (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’ and affiliates’ borrowings and the current expected credit loss reserve is not material. As of June 30, 2022, 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, 2022, we have recognized certain assets and liabilities amounting to $71 million each for the nine months ended September 30, 2017guarantees related to the independents’ and it is not expected to have a material impact on the annual consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715) ("ASU 2017-07"), which requires an entity to report the service cost component of net periodic benefit costaffiliates’ borrowings. These assets and liabilities are included in the same line item as other compensation costs (selling, administrativeassets and other expenses), and the remaining components in non-operating expenselong-term liabilities in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December


15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt ASU 2017-07 on January 1, 2018 and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Note E – Credit Facilities
In June 2017, the Company exercised its remaining optional one year extension on the $1.2 billion multi-currency Syndicated Facility (the "Syndicated Facility") amended June 19, 2015, to extend the maturity date from June 2021 to June 2022.
At September 30, 2017, approximately $595.0 million was outstanding under the Syndicated Facility and is included in "Current portion of debt" in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On September 22, 2017, the Company executed a $2.0 billion 364-day bridge facility bearing interest at LIBOR plus a variable margin. At September 30, 2017, the Company did not have any amounts outstandingsheets. The liabilities relate to our noncontingent obligation to stand ready to perform under the facility.guarantee programs and they are distinct from our current expected credit loss reserve.
Note F – Share-Based CompensationEarnings Per Share
As more fully discussed in Note 5 of the Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements in its 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company maintainsWe maintain various long-term incentive plans, which provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance awards, dividend equivalents and other share-based awards. SARs represent a right to receive upon exercise an amount, payableCertain outstanding options are not included in shares of common stock, equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise over the base value of the grant. The terms of such SARs require net settlement in shares of common stock and do not provide for cash settlement. RSUs represent a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock at a future date. The majority of awards previously granted vest on a pro-rata basis for periods ranging from one to five years and are expensed accordingly on a straight-line basis. The Company issues new shares upon exercise or conversion of awards under these plans. Most awards may be exercised or converted to shares not earlier than twelve months nor later than ten years from the date of grant. At September 30, 2017, total compensation cost related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was approximately $38.0 million, as compared to $34.6 million at December 31, 2016. The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is approximately three years. The aggregate intrinsic value for SARs and RSUs outstanding at September 30, 2017 was approximately $105.7 million. At September 30, 2017, the aggregate intrinsic value for SARs and RSUs vested totaled approximately $55.5 million, and the weighted-average contractual lives for outstanding and exercisable SARs and RSUs were approximately six and five years, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, $12.9 million of share-based compensation cost was recorded, as compared to $15.4 million for the same nine month period in the prior year.

Options to purchase approximately 2.5 million and 1.9 million shares of common stock were outstanding but excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

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 three year term, which we intend to renew.
We continue to be involved with the receivables transferred by the SPE to the unaffiliated financial institution by providing collection services. As cash is collected on sold receivables, the SPE continuously transfers ownership and nine month periods ended Septembercontrol of new qualifying receivables to the unaffiliated financial institution so that the total principal amount outstanding of receivables sold is approximately $1 billion at any point in time (which is the maximum amount allowed under the agreement as amended on January 3, 2022).
Total principal amount outstanding of receivables sold is approximately $1 billion and $800 million as of June 30, 2017, respectively,2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The amount of receivables pledged as comparedcollateral as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is approximately $1.1 billion and $973 million, respectively.

Note H – Guarantees
The Company guarantees the borrowingsand $550 million of certain independently controlled automotive parts stores (“independents”) and certain other affiliates in which the Company has a noncontrolling equity ownership interest (“affiliates”). Presently, the independents are generally consolidated by unaffiliated enterprises that have controlling financial interests through ownershiprevenue, net of a majority voting interest in the independents. The Company has no voting interest or equity conversion rights in any of the independents. The Company does not control the independents or the affiliates, but receives a fee for the guarantees. The Company has concluded that the independents are variable interest entities, but that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. Specifically, the equity holders of the independents have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance including, but not limited to, decisions about hiring and terminating personnel, local marketing and promotional initiatives, pricing and selling activities, credit decisions, monitoring and maintaining appropriate inventories, and store hours. Separately, the Company concluded the affiliates are not variable interest entities. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these independents and affiliates is generally equal to the total borrowings subject to the Company’s guarantees. While such borrowings of the independents and affiliates are outstanding, the Company is required to maintain compliance with certain covenants, including a maximum debt to capitalization ratio and certain limitations on additional borrowings. At September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.
At September 30, 2017, the total borrowings of the independents and affiliates subject to guarantee by the Company were approximately $554.2 million. These loans generally mature over periods from one to six years. In the event that the Company is required to make payments in connection with guaranteed obligations of the independents or the affiliates, the Company would obtain and liquidate certain collateral (e.g., accounts receivable and inventory) to recover all or a portion of the amounts paid under the guarantees. When it is deemed probable that the Company will incur a loss in connection with a guarantee, a liability is recorded equal to this estimated loss. To date, the Company has had no significant losses in connection with guarantees of independents’ and affiliates’ borrowings.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company has recognized certain assets and liabilities amounting to $59.0 million each for the guaranteesclosures, related to the independents’our Automotive and affiliates’ borrowings. These assets and liabilitiesIndustrial acquisitions, respectively. The results of operations for acquired businesses are included in other assets and other long-term liabilities in theour condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For each acquisition, we allocate the short-term nature of these instruments. At September 30, 2017, the carrying value and the fair value of fixed rate debt were approximately $550.0 million and $563.6 million, respectively. The fair value of fixed rate debt is designated as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (i.e., significant observable inputs) and is based primarily on the discounted value of future cash flows using current market interest rates offered for debt of similar credit risk and maturity. The carrying value of fixed rate debt of $550.0 million is included in long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Note J – Legal Matters
On April 17, 2017, a jury awarded damages against the Company of $81.5 million in a litigated automotive product liability dispute.Through post-trial motions and offsets from previous settlements, the initial verdict has been reduced to $77.1 million. The Company believes the verdict is not supported by the facts or the law and is contrarypurchase price to the Company’s role inassets acquired and the automotive parts industry.


The Company intends to challenge the verdict through further post-trial motions and on appeal to a higher court.

Key Business Metrics - Comparable Sales
We consider comparable sales, which refers to period-over-period comparisons of our net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, foreign currency and other, to be a key business metric. Management uses comparable sales to evaluate the results of operations and we believe that this key indicator provides additional perspective and insights when analyzing the operating performance of our business from approximately 2,670 locations.period to period and trends in its historical operating results. While this metric is widely used by industry stakeholders, our calculation of the metric may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies and analysts calculate this metric in the same manner. This metric should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in this report.

The increase in total operating expenses for both periods was partially offset by a one-time benefit of $103 million from a gain on the sale of real estate that had been leased to S.P. Richards. The decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 reflects the Company’s deleveraging of expenses on lower comparable sales, as well as higher costs in areas such as IT, digital, legal, professional and insurance, freight and delivery, and acquisition related costs.

Other major expense categories include facility occupancy costs for headquarters, distribution centers and retail store/branch operations, insurancetransportation and delivery costs, technology and digital costs, accounting, legal and professional services, transportationinsurance costs, and delivery costs, travel and advertising. Management’s ongoing cost control measures in these areas have served to improve the Company’s overall cost structure. The Company's recent acquisitions have lower costs of goods sold and higher levels of operating costs as compared to the Company's other businesses, however, the operating profit margins remain consistent.

The decrease in operating profit as a percentage of net sales for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 is primarily due to the deleveraging of fixed costs associated with lower comparable sales growth, higher expenses in areas such as IT, freight and delivery costs, lower volume incentives and a product mix shift to lower margin products, which was partially offset by the positive impact of cost control initiatives.

We used $1.5 billion cash for investing activities primarily in connection with the acquisition of KDG, in addition to $153 million for capital expenditures. The financing activities consisted primarily of $1 billion of net proceeds from debt structure as outlinedprimarily from the Senior Notes offering (as discussed below). This was partially offset by $243 million for dividends paid to our shareholders and $123 million of stock repurchases.

Accounts receivable increased $217.4$437 million, or 11%24.3%, from December 31, 2016, which is due to the Company’s acquisitions and higher sales volume in the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the fourth quarter or 2016.2021. Inventory increased $143.9$406 million, or approximately 4% compared to the10.4%. Accounts receivable and inventory balance at December 31, 2016, primarily due to acquisitionswere both impacted by increases in revenues and the impact of foreign exchange.related product demand. Accounts payable increased $194.0$605 million, or 6%12.6% from December 31, 2016,2021, in line with the increase in inventory. Total debt of $3.3 billion at June 30, 2022 increased $909 million, or 37.7%, from December 31, 2021 driven primarily by the Senior Notes offering (as discussed below).
We continue to negotiate extended payment dates with our suppliers. Our current payment terms with the majority of our suppliers range from 30 to 360 days. Several global financial institutions offer voluntary supply chain finance (“SCF”) programs which enable our suppliers, 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. The SCF program is primarily available to suppliers of goods and services included in cost of goods sold in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Our suppliers and us 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. 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 more favorable payment terms negotiated with the Company's vendorsour suppliers that elected to participate in the nine month periodSCF 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 statements of cash flows. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding payment obligations to the financial institutions are $2.8 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. The amount settled through the SCF program was $1.8 billion and $1.2 billion for the six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017. The Company’s debt is discussed below.2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total debt at September 30, 2017 increased $270 million, or 31%, from December 31, 2016, primarily related to fundingWe ended the Company’s working capital needs. The Company maintains a $1.20quarter with $2.0 billion unsecured revolving line of credit with a consortium of financial institutions with an option to increase the borrowing capacity by an additional $350.0 million. The line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus various margins, which are basedtotal liquidity (comprising $1.5 billion availability on the Company’s leverage ratio. In June 2017,revolving credit facility and $519 million of cash and cash equivalents). 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 Company exercised its remaining option to extend the maturity date from June 2021 to June 2022. At September 30, 2017, $595.0 million was outstanding under the line of credit.

As of September 30, 2017, the remaining $550.0 million debt outstanding is at fixed rates of interest and remained unchanged as compared to December 31, 2016. The fixed rate debt is comprised of two notes of $250.0 million each and one note of $50.0 million. One $250.0 million note is due in December 2023 and the other is due in November 2026, and each carry an interest rate of 2.99%. The remaining $50.0 million note, which was executed in July 2016, carries a 2.39% interest rate and is due in July 2021.

On September 22, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Alliance Automotive Group (“AAG”) for approximately $2.0 billion including the repayment of AAG’s outstanding debt at closing. The Company intends to finance the transaction through a combination of new loan agreements and note issuances. The Company also has available, but does not expect to utilize, a $2.0 billion 364-day unsecured bridge facility bearing interest at LIBOR plus a variable margin. The Company expects to close on the acquisition in November 2017.

At September 30, 2017, the Company's total average cost of debt was 2.55% and the Company remained in compliance with all covenants connected with the above borrowings.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.3 to 1 at September 30, 2017, as compared to 1.4 to 1 at December 31, 2016.The Company currently believes existing lines of credit and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund anticipated operations including discretionary share repurchases, if any, for the foreseeable future.
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.
On January 3, 2022, we amended our A/R Sales Agreement to increase the facility limit by an additional $200 million bringing the total to $1 billion. The terms of the A/R Sales Agreement limit the balance of receivables sold to approximately $1 billion at any point in time. Refer to the A/R Sales Agreement footnote in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
On January 6, 2022, we issued $500 million of unsecured 1.750% Senior Notes due 2025. Simultaneously, we issued $500 million of unsecured 2.750% Senior Notes due 2032. For both offerings, interest is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2022. We utilized the proceeds from these offerings to repay the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility which were incurred to finance a significant portion of the KDG Acquisition.
We expect to be able to continue to borrow funds at reasonable rates over the long term. At June 30, 2022, our total average cost of debt was 2.34%, 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.
On February 14, 2022, we announced a 10% increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend for 2022. Our Board of Directors increased the cash dividend payable to an annual rate of $3.58 per share compared with the previous dividend of $3.26 per share. We have paid a cash dividend every year since going public in 1948, and 2022 marks the 66th consecutive year of increased dividends paid to shareholders.
