LKQ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1.	Interim Financial Statements

The unaudited financial statements presented in this report represent the consolidation of LKQ Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries. LKQ Corporation is a holding company and all operations are conducted by subsidiaries. When the terms "LKQ," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our" are used in this document, those terms refer to LKQ Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information related to our significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for any subsequent interim period or for a full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015.


Note 2.	Financial Statement Information

Revenue Recognition

The majority of our revenue is derived from the sale of vehicle parts. Revenue is recognized when the products are shipped to, delivered to or picked up by customers and title has transferred, subject to an allowance for estimated returns, discounts and allowances that we estimate based upon historical information. We recorded a reserve for estimated returns, discounts and allowances of approximately $~~34.2~~33.0 million and $31.3 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. We present taxes assessed by governmental authorities collected from customers on a net basis. Therefore, the taxes are excluded from revenue on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and are shown as a current liability on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets until remitted. We recognize revenue from the sale of scrap metal, other metals, and cores when title has transferred, which typically occurs upon delivery to the customer.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We recorded a reserve for uncollectible accounts of approximately $~~18.9~~21.1 million and $19.4 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Inventory

Warranty Reserve

Some of our salvage mechanical products are sold with a standard six month warranty against defects. Additionally, some of our remanufactured engines are sold with a standard three year warranty against defects. We also provide a limited lifetime warranty for certain of our aftermarket products that is supported by certain of the suppliers of those products. We record the estimated warranty costs at the time of sale using historical warranty claim information to project future warranty claims activity.

Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, the carrying value of our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries was $~~13.2~~12.5 million; of this amount, $~~12.4~~11.6 million relates to our investment in ACM Parts Pty Ltd ("ACM Parts"). In August 2013, we entered into an agreement with Suncorp Group, a leading general insurance group in Australia and New Zealand, to develop ACM Parts, an alternative vehicle replacement parts business in those countries. We hold a 49% interest in the entity and are contributing our experience to help establish automotive parts recycling operations and to facilitate the procurement of aftermarket parts; Suncorp Group holds a 51% equity interest and is supplying salvage vehicles to the venture as well as assisting in establishing relationships with repair shops as customers. We are accounting for our interest in this subsidiary using the equity method of accounting, as our investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we increased our total investment in ACM Parts by $7.5 million, which is reflected in Other investing activities, net on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Our total ownership interest in ACM Parts remains unchanged as a result of this additional investment. The total of our investment in ACM Parts and other

~~and other~~ unconsolidated subsidiaries is included within Other Assets on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our equity in the net earnings of the investees for the three and six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 was not material.

Depreciation Expense

Included in Cost of Goods Sold on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is depreciation expense associated with our refurbishing, remanufacturing, and furnace operations as well as our distribution centers.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09")., which was amended in July 2015. This update outlines a new comprehensive revenue recognition model ~~which~~that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, and requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Entities adopting the standard have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach in the application of this guidance. ~~As currently issued,~~ ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company during the first quarter of our fiscal year ~~2017; however, the FASB has proposed a one-year deferral of the effective date of the standard.~~2018. Early adoption is ~~not permitted.~~permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are still evaluating the impact that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, "Interest-Imputation of Interest " ("ASU 2015-03"). This update simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs on the financial statements by requiring companies to reduce debt issuance costs from the carrying value of their corresponding liability on the balance sheet, rather than presenting debt issuance costs as deferred charges. ASU 2015-03 will be effective for the Company during the first quarter of our fiscal year 2016. Early adoption is permitted. Entities must retrospectively apply this guidance within the balance sheet for all periods presented in order to reflect the period-specific effects of this new guidance. We do not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


Note 3.	Stock-Based Compensation

In order to attract and retain employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and other persons associated with us, we may grant qualified and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares and performance units under the LKQ Corporation 1998 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). We have granted RSUs, stock options, and restricted stock under the Equity Incentive Plan. We expect to issue new shares of common stock to cover past and future equity grants.

RSUs

RSUs vest over periods of up to five years, subject to a continued service condition. Currently outstanding RSUs 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 the RSUs containing a performance-based vesting condition, the Company 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 date fair value of RSUs is based on the market price of LKQ stock on the grant date.

During the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we granted ~~869,893~~912,113 RSUs to employees. The fair value of RSUs that vested during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 was $~~12.3~~13.1 million.

This amount changes based on the market price of the Company’s common stock.

Stock Options

Stock options vest over periods of up to five years, subject to a continued service condition. Stock options expire either six or ten years from the date they are granted. No options were granted during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

On March 27, 2014, LKQ Corporation, LKQ Delaware LLP, and certain other subsidiaries (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). Total availability under the Credit Agreement is ~~$2.3~~$2.3 billion (composed of ~~$1.69~~$1.69 billion in the revolving credit facility's multicurrency component, ~~$165~~$165 million in the revolving credit facility's U.S. dollar only component, and ~~$450~~$450 million of term loans). The Credit Agreement allows the Company to increase the amount of the revolving credit facility or obtain incremental term loans up to the greater of ~~$400~~$400 million or the amount that may be borrowed while maintaining a senior secured leverage ratio of less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00,, subject to the agreement of the lenders.

Amounts under the revolving credit facilities are due and payable upon maturity of the Credit Agreement on May 3, 2019. Term loan borrowings are due and payable in quarterly installments equal to 1.25% of the original principal amount beginning on June 30, 2014 with the remaining balance due and payable on the maturity date of the Credit Agreement. We are required to prepay the term loan by amounts equal to proceeds from the sale or disposition of certain assets if the proceeds are not reinvested within twelve months. We also have the option to prepay outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement without penalty.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, and contains customary covenants that provide limitations and conditions on our ability to enter into certain transactions. The Credit Agreement also contains financial and affirmative covenants, including limitations on our net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates, which depend on the currency and duration of the borrowing elected, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is subject to change in increments of 0.25% depending on our net leverage ratio. Interest payments are due on the last day of the selected interest period or quarterly in arrears depending on the type of borrowing. Including the effect of the interest rate swap agreements described in Note 5, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,," the weighted average interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were ~~2.38%~~2.11% and 2.10%, respectively. We also pay a commitment fee based on the average daily unused amount of the revolving credit facilities. The commitment fee is subject to change in increments of 0.05% depending on our net leverage ratio. In addition, we pay a participation commission on outstanding letters of credit at an applicable rate based on our net leverage ratio, as well as a fronting fee of 0.125% to the issuing bank, which are due quarterly in arrears.

Of the total borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, ~~$22.5~~$22.5 million was classified as current maturities at both ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, ~~2014~~.2014. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015,, there were letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $71.5 million. The amounts available under the revolving credit facilities are reduced by the amounts outstanding under letters of credit, and thus availability under the revolving credit facilities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 was $1.2 billion.

Related to the execution of the Credit Agreement in March 2014, we incurred $3.7 million of fees, of which $3.4 million were capitalized within Other Assets on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized over the term of the agreement. The remaining $0.3 million of fees were expensed during the ~~year~~three months ended ~~December~~March 31, 2014 as a loss on debt extinguishment.

Senior Notes

In April 2014, LKQ Corporation completed an offer to exchange $600 million aggregate principal amount of registered 4.75% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "Notes") for notes previously issued through a private placement. The Notes are governed by the original Indenture dated as of May 9, 2013 among LKQ Corporation, certain of our subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes are substantially identical to those previously issued through the private placement, except the Notes are registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per year from the most recent payment date on which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The first interest payment was made on November 15, 2013. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.

The Notes and the guarantees are, respectively, LKQ Corporation's and each Guarantor's senior unsecured obligations. The Notes are subordinated to all of LKQ Corporation's and the Guarantors' existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured debt. In addition, the Notes are effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the Notes to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries.

Receivables Securitization Facility

On September ~~28, 2012, we entered into a three year~~29, 2014, LKQ Corporation amended the terms of the receivables securitization facility with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, LTD. ("BTMU ") ~~as Administrative Agent.~~to: (i) extend the term of the facility to October 2, 2017; (ii) increase the maximum amount available to $97 million; and (iii) make other clarifying and updating changes. Under the facility, LKQ sells an ownership interest in certain receivables, related collections and security interests to BTMU for the benefit of conduit investors and/or financial institutions for ~~up to $80 million in~~ cash proceeds. Upon payment of the receivables by customers, rather than remitting to BTMU the amounts collected, LKQ retains such collections as proceeds for the sale of new receivables generated by certain of the ongoing operations of the Company. On September 29, 2014, the parties amended the terms of the facility to: (i) extend the term of the facility to October 2, 2017; (ii) increase the maximum amount available to $97 million; and (iii) make other clarifying and updating changes.

The sale of the ownership interest in the receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, under which the receivables included in the program collateralize the amounts invested by BTMU, the conduit investors and/or financial institutions (the "Purchasers"). The receivables are held by LKQ Receivables Finance Company, LLC ("LRFC"), a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary of LKQ, and therefore, the receivables are available first to satisfy the creditors of LRFC, including the investors. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, ~~$139.9~~$130.1 million and $129.5 million, respectively, of net receivables were collateral for the investment under the receivables facility.

Under the receivables facility, we pay variable interest rates plus a margin on the outstanding amounts invested by the Purchasers. The variable rates are based on (i) commercial paper rates, (ii) the London InterBank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), or (iii) base rates, and are payable monthly in arrears. Commercial paper rates will be the applicable variable rate unless conduit investors are not available to invest in the receivables at commercial paper rates. In such case, financial institutions will invest at the LIBOR rate or at base rates. We also pay a commitment fee on the excess of the investment maximum over the average daily outstanding investment, payable monthly in arrears. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, the interest rate under the receivables facility was based on commercial paper rates and was ~~0.93%~~0.94%. The outstanding balances of $~~97.0~~95.2 million and $94.9 million as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, were classified as long-term on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because we have the ability and intent to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis.


Note 5.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Under our current policies, we use derivatives to manage our exposure to variable interest rates on our senior secured debt, changing foreign exchange rates for certain foreign currency denominated transactions and changes in metals prices. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we had interest rate swap agreements in place to hedge a portion of the variable interest rate risk on our variable rate borrowings under our Credit Agreement, with the objective of minimizing the impact of interest rate

fluctuations and stabilizing cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we pay the fixed interest rate and

receive payment at a variable rate of interest based on LIBOR or the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (“CDOR”) for the respective currency of each interest rate swap agreement’s notional amount. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and is reclassified to interest expense when the underlying interest payment has an impact on earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is reported in interest expense. Our interest rate swap contracts have maturity dates ranging from 2015 through 2016.

From time to time, we may hold foreign currency forward contracts related to certain foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions, with the objective of minimizing the impact of changing exchange rates on these future cash flows, as well as minimizing the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on our results of operations through the respective dates of settlement. Under the terms of the foreign currency forward contracts, we will sell the foreign currency in exchange for U.S. dollars at a fixed rate on the maturity dates of the contracts. The effective portion of the changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and reclassified to other income (expense) when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings.

The following table summarizes the notional amounts and fair values of our designated cash flow hedges as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):


		Notional Amount				Fair Value at March 31, 2015 (USD)				Fair Value at December 31, 2014 (USD)					Notional Amount				Fair Value at June 30, 2015 (USD)				Fair Value at December 31, 2014 (USD)

While our derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty are subject to master netting arrangements, we present our cash flow hedge derivative instruments on a gross basis in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact of netting the fair values of these contracts would not have a material effect on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

The activity related to our cash flow hedges is included in Note 12, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)." Ineffectiveness related to our cash flow hedges was immaterial to our results of operations during the three and six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. We do not expect future ineffectiveness related to our cash flow hedges to have a material effect on our results of operations.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we estimate that $~~2.7~~2.0 million of derivative losses (net of tax) included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss will be reclassified into our consolidated statements of income within the next 12 months.

Other Derivative Instruments

We hold other short-term derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts, to manage our exposure to variability related to inventory purchases and intercompany financing transactions denominated in a non-functional currency, as well as commodity forward contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in precious metals prices. We have elected not to apply hedge accounting for these transactions, and therefore the contracts are adjusted to fair value through our results of operations as of each balance sheet date, which could result in volatility in our earnings. The notional amount and fair value of these contracts at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, along with the effect on our results of operations during each of the ~~three~~six month periods ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, were immaterial.


Note 6.	Fair Value Measurements

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

We use the market and income approaches to value our financial assets and liabilities, and during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, 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 tiers in the fair value hierarchy include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that

~~markets that~~ are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following tables present 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 ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

Interest rate swaps	5,218		—		5,218		—
Total Liabilities	$	40,093	$	—	$	32,798	$	7,295

The cash surrender value of life insurance and deferred compensation liabilities are included in Other Assets and Other Noncurrent Liabilities, respectively, on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The current portion of contingent consideration liabilities is included in Other Current Liabilities and the noncurrent portion is included in Other Noncurrent Liabilities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the expected timing of the related payments. The balance sheet classification of the interest rate swaps is presented in Note 5, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."

Our Level 2 assets and liabilities are valued using inputs from third parties and market observable data. We obtain valuation data for the cash surrender value of life insurance and deferred compensation liabilities from third party sources, which determine the net asset values for our accounts using quoted market prices, investment allocations and reportable trades. We value our derivative instruments using a third party valuation model that performs a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contracts and market observable inputs such as current and forward interest rates.

Our contingent consideration liabilities are related to our business acquisitions as further described in Note 8, "Business Combinations." Under the terms of the contingent consideration agreements, payments may be made at specified future dates depending on the performance of the acquired business subsequent to the acquisition. The liabilities for these payments are classified as Level 3 liabilities because the related fair value measurement, which is determined using an income approach, includes significant inputs not observable in the market. These unobservable inputs include internally-developed assumptions of the probabilities of achieving specified targets, which are used to determine the resulting cash flows and the applicable discount rate. Our Level 3 fair value measurements are established and updated quarterly by our corporate accounting department using current information about these key assumptions, with the input and oversight of our operational and executive management teams. We evaluate the performance of the business during the period compared to our previous expectations, along with any changes to our future projections, and update the estimated cash flows accordingly. In addition, we consider changes to our cost of capital and changes to the probability of achieving the earnout payment targets when updating our discount rate on a quarterly basis.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of our Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities were as follows:


	March 31,		December 31,		June 30,		December 31,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
Unobservable Input	(Weighted Average)				(Weighted Average)
Probability of achieving payout targets	75.0	%	79.1	%	73.6	%	79.1	%
Discount rate	7.5	%	7.5	%	7.5	%	7.5	%

A decrease in the assessed probabilities of achieving the targets or an increase in the discount rate, in isolation, would result in a lower fair value measurement. Changes in the values of the liabilities are recorded in Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration Liabilities within Other Expense (Income) on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Changes in the fair value of our contingent consideration obligations are as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended						Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended

The purchase price for our 2011 acquisition of Euro Car Parts Holdings Limited ("ECP") included contingent payments depending on the achievement of certain annual performance targets. The performance target for 2013 was exceeded, and therefore, we settled the liability related to the 2013 performance period for the maximum amount of £30 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 through a cash payment of $44.8 million (£26.9 million) and the issuance of notes for $5.1 million (£3.1 million).

Of the amounts included in earnings for the three and six months ended~~March 31,~~ June 30, 2015, $0.1 million and ~~2014~~, ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million ~~and~~ ~~$0.1 million~~ of losses, respectively, were related to contingent consideration obligations outstanding as of ~~March 31, 2015~~. June 30, 2015. Of the amounts included in earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, $0.3 million losses were related to contingent consideration obligations outstanding as of June 30, 2015.

The changes in the fair value of contingent consideration obligations included in earnings during the respective periods in 2015 and 2014 reflect the quarterly reassessment of each obligation's fair value, including an analysis of the significant inputs used in the valuation, as well as the accretion of the present value discount.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

Our debt is reflected on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at cost. Based on market conditions as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of our credit agreement borrowings reasonably approximated the carrying value of $~~974~~963 million and $1.1 billion, respectively. In addition, based on market conditions, the fair value of the outstanding borrowings under the receivables facility reasonably approximated the carrying value of $~~97 million~~ ~~and~~ $95 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014~~, respectively.~~. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of our senior notes was approximately $~~593~~573 million and $569 million, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $600 million.

The fair value measurements of the borrowings under our credit agreement and receivables facility are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since they are determined based upon significant inputs observable in the market, including interest rates on recent financing transactions with similar terms and maturities. We estimated the fair value by calculating the upfront cash payment a market participant would require at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 to assume these obligations. The fair value of our senior notes is classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy since it is determined based upon observable market inputs including quoted market prices in an active market.


Note 7.	Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

We are obligated under noncancelable operating leases for corporate office space, warehouse and distribution facilities, trucks and certain equipment.

The future minimum lease commitments under these leases at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 are as follows (in thousands):


Nine months ending December 31, 2015	$	105,778
Six months ending December 31, 2015			$	74,040

Thereafter	205,658		218,777
Future Minimum Lease Payments	$	746,828	$	768,788

Litigation and Related Contingencies

We have certain contingencies resulting from litigation, claims and other commitments and are subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. We currently expect that the resolution of such contingencies will not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.


Note 8.	Business Combinations

During the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we ~~acquired~~ ~~one~~completed ten acquisitions, including three wholesale ~~business~~businesses in North America and ~~one~~seven wholesale ~~business~~businesses in Europe. ~~These~~Our European acquisitions included seven aftermarket parts distribution businesses in the Netherlands, five of which were former customers of and distributors for our Netherlands subsidiary, Sator Beheer B.V. ("Sator"), and were acquired with the objective of expanding our distribution network in the Netherlands. Our other acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2015 enabled us to expand our geographic presence. Total acquisition date fair value of the consideration for these acquisitions ~~completed during the first quarter of 2015~~ was ~~$1.5~~$40.2 million, composed of ~~$0.9~~$37.2 million of cash (net of cash acquired), ~~$0.1~~$2.1 million of notes payable, ~~$0.1 million of other purchase price obligations~~ and ~~$0.4~~$0.9 million of pre-existing balances between us and the acquired entities considered to be effectively settled as a result of the acquisitions. ~~Total~~During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded $18.6 million of goodwill related to these acquisitions and immaterial adjustments to preliminary purchase price allocations related to certain of our 2014 ~~acquisitions was immaterial.~~acquisitions. We expect $4.7 million of the $18.6 million of goodwill recorded to be deductible for income tax purposes. As the acquisitions completed during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 are immaterial to our business, we have omitted the detailed disclosures for these acquisitions prescribed by the accounting guidance on business combinations.

In July 2015, we completed the acquisitions of Parts Channel, Inc., an aftermarket collision parts distributor, as well as two aftermarket distributors in the Netherlands and a self service retail operation in the U.S. The preliminary aggregate cash purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately $75 million, net of cash acquired. We are in the process of completing the purchase accounting for our July 2015 acquisitions, and as a result, we are unable to disclose the amounts recognized for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, or the pro forma effect of the acquisitions on our results of operations in the U.S.

On January 3, 2014,, we completed our acquisition of Keystone Automotive Holdings, Inc. ("Keystone Specialty"), which is a leading distributor and marketer of specialty vehicle aftermarket equipment and accessories in North America. Total acquisition date fair value of the consideration for our Keystone Specialty acquisition was ~~$471.9~~$471.9 million,, composed of ~~$427.1~~$427.1 million of cash (net of cash acquired), ~~$31.5~~$31.5 million of notes payable and ~~$13.4~~$13.4 million of other purchase price obligations (non-interest bearing). We recorded ~~$237.7~~$237.7 million of goodwill related to our acquisition of Keystone Specialty, which we do not expect to be deductible for income tax purposes.

In addition to our acquisition of Keystone Specialty, we made 22 acquisitions during 2014, including nine wholesale businesses in North America, nine wholesale businesses in Europe, two self service retail operations, and two specialty vehicle aftermarket businesses. Our European acquisitions included seven aftermarket parts distribution businesses in the Netherlands, five of which were customers of and distributors for our Netherlands subsidiary, ~~Sator Beheer B.V. ("Sator").~~Sator. Our European acquisitions were completed with the objective of aligning our Netherlands and U.K. distribution models; our other acquisitions completed

during the year ended December 31, 2014 enabled us to expand existing markets, introduce new product lines, and enter new markets. Total acquisition date fair value of the consideration for these additional acquisitions was ~~$359.1~~$359.1 million,, composed of ~~$334.3~~$334.3 million of cash (net of cash acquired), ~~$13.5~~$13.5 million of notes payable, ~~$0.3~~$0.3 million of other purchase price obligations (non-interest bearing), ~~$5.9~~$5.9 million for the estimated value of contingent payments to former owners (with maximum potential payments totaling ~~$8.3 million~~)$8.3 million), and ~~$5.1~~$5.1 million of pre-existing balances between us and the acquired entities considered to be effectively settled as a result of the acquisitions. During the year endedDecember 31, 2014,, we recorded ~~$178.0~~$178.0 million of goodwill related to these acquisitions and immaterial adjustments to preliminary purchase price allocations related to certain of our 2013 acquisitions. We expect ~~$44.2~~$44.2 million of the ~~$178.0~~$178.0 million of goodwill recorded to be deductible for income tax purposes.

Our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and are included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The purchase prices were allocated to the net assets acquired based upon estimated fair market values at the dates of acquisition. The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions made during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and the last ~~nine~~six months of 2014 are preliminary as we are in the process of determining the following: 1) valuation amounts for certain receivables, inventories and fixed assets acquired; 2) valuation amounts for certain intangible assets acquired; 3) the acquisition date fair value of certain liabilities assumed; and 4) the final

estimation of the tax basis of the entities acquired. We have recorded preliminary estimates for certain of the items noted above and will record adjustments, if any, to the preliminary amounts upon finalization of the valuations.

The preliminary purchase price allocations for the acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):

The primary reason for our acquisitions made during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and the year ended December 31, 2014 was to create economic value for our stockholders by enhancing our position as a leading source for alternative collision and mechanical repair products and expanding into other product lines and businesses that may benefit from our operating strengths. Our acquisition of Keystone Specialty allows us to enter into new product lines and increase the size of our addressable market. In addition, we believe that the acquisition creates logistics and administrative cost synergies as well as cross-selling opportunities, which contributed to the goodwill recorded on the Keystone Specialty acquisition. ~~Our other~~Other acquisitions completed during 2014 and 2015 enabled us to expand ~~into new product lines~~our distribution network in the Netherlands, and ~~enter new markets.~~expand our geographic presence.

When we identify potential acquisitions, we attempt to target companies with a leading market share, an experienced management team and workforce that provide a fit with our existing operations, and strong cash flows. For certain of our

acquisitions, we have identified cost savings and synergies as a result of integrating the company with our existing business that provide additional value to the combined entity. In many cases, acquiring companies with these characteristics will result in purchase prices that include a significant amount of goodwill.

The following pro forma summary presents the effect of the businesses acquired during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 as though the businesses had been acquired as of January 1, 2014 and the businesses acquired during the year ended December 31, 2014, including the Keystone Specialty acquisition on January 3, 2014, as though they had been acquired as of January 1, 2013.

Unaudited pro forma supplemental information is based upon accounting estimates and judgments that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma supplemental information includes the effect of purchase accounting adjustments, such as the adjustment of inventory acquired to net realizable value, adjustments to depreciation on acquired property and equipment, adjustments to rent expense for above or below market leases, adjustments to amortization on acquired intangible assets, adjustments to interest expense, and the related tax effects. Additionally, the pro forma impact of our Keystone Specialty acquisition reflects the elimination of acquisition related expenses totaling $0.2 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, which do not have a continuing impact on our operating results. Refer to Note 9, "Restructuring and Acquisition Related Expenses," for further information regarding our acquisition related expenses. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for the periods presented or of future results.


Note 9.	Restructuring and Acquisition Related Expenses

Acquisition Related Expenses

Acquisition related expenses, which include external costs such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, totaled ~~$0.5~~$0.7 million and ~~$0.2~~$1.3 million for the three and six months ended~~March 31,~~ June 30, 2015, respectively.

Acquisition Integration Plans

During the three and six months ended~~March 31, 2015~~ ~~and~~ ~~2014~~June 30, 2015, we incurred ~~$6.0~~$0.9 million and ~~$3.1~~$6.9 million of restructuring expenses, respectively. Expenses incurred during the three and six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 were primarily a result of the integration of our October 2014 acquisition of a supplier of parts for recreational vehicles into our Specialty business.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred $4.2 million and $7.4 million of restructuring expenses, respectively. Expenses incurred during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 were primarily a result of the integration of our acquisition of Keystone Specialty into our existing business. These integration activities included the closure of duplicate facilities, termination of employees in connection with the consolidation of overlapping facilities with our existing business, moving expenses, and other third party services directly related to our acquisitions.

We expect to incur additional expenses related to the integration of certain of our acquisitions into our existing operations throughout 2015. These integration activities are expected to include the closure of duplicate facilities, termination of employees in connection with the consolidation of overlapping facilities with our existing business, and moving expenses. Future expenses to complete these integration plans are expected to be less than $5.0 million.

Note 11.	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 ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 was ~~35.5%~~35.2% compared with 34.0% for the comparable prior year period. The higher effective income tax rate for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 is primarily a result of our expected geographic distribution of income, as we expect a smaller proportion of our annual pretax income will be ~~generated~~earned in the typically lower tax rate international jurisdictions. In addition, the tax provision for the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2015 includes unfavorable discrete items of ~~$0.7~~$0.3 million primarily as a result of U.S. state deferred tax adjustments, compared to $0.1 million of unfavorable discrete items during the prior year ~~first quarter.~~period.

During the three and ~~2014.~~six months ended June 30, 2014, unrealized losses of $1.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively related to our interest rate swaps were reclassified to interest expense. The remaining reclassification of unrealized ~~losses~~gains during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014 related to our foreign currency forward contracts and was recorded to other income in our our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These ~~losses~~gains offset the remeasurement of certain of our intercompany balances. The deferred income taxes related to our cash flow hedges were reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income to income tax expense.


Note 13.	Segment and Geographic Information

We have four operating segments: Wholesale – North America; Wholesale – Europe; Self Service; and Specialty. Our Wholesale – North America and Self Service operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment, North America, because they possess similar economic characteristics and have common products and services, customers, and methods of distribution. Therefore, we present three reportable segments: North America, Europe and Specialty.

The following tables present our financial performance by reportable segment for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer, is Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA includes revenue and expenses that are controllable by the segment. Corporate and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, with shared expenses apportioned based

on the segment's percentage of consolidated revenue. Segment EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA excluding restructuring and acquisition related expenses, change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries. EBITDA, which is the basis for Segment EBITDA, is calculated as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest (including loss on debt extinguishment) and taxes. Loss on debt extinguishment is considered a component of interest in calculating EBITDA, as the write-off of debt issuance costs is similar to the treatment of debt issuance cost amortization.

The table below provides a reconciliation from Segment EBITDA to Net Income (in thousands):

Note 14.	Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

LKQ Corporation (the "Parent") issued, and certain of its 100% owned subsidiaries (the "Guarantors") have fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, the Company's Notes due on May 15, 2023. A Guarantor's guarantee will be unconditionally and automatically released and discharged upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a transfer (including as a result of consolidation or merger) by the Guarantor to any person that is not a Guarantor of all or substantially all assets and properties of such Guarantor, provided the Guarantor is also released from its obligations with respect to indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or other indebtedness of ours, which obligation gave rise to the guarantee of the Notes; (ii) a transfer (including as a result of consolidation or merger) to any person that is not a Guarantor of the equity interests of a Guarantor or issuance by a Guarantor of its equity interests such that the Guarantor ceases to be a subsidiary, as defined in the Indenture, provided the Guarantor is also released from its obligations with respect to indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or other indebtedness of ours, which obligation gave rise to the guarantee of the Notes; (iii) the release of the Guarantor from its obligations with respect to indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or other indebtedness of ours, which obligation gave rise to the guarantee of the Notes; and (iv) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, as defined in the Indenture.

Presented below are the unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements of the Parent, the Guarantors, the non-guarantor subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantors"), and the elimination entries necessary to present the Company's financial statements on a consolidated basis as required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 resulting

from the guarantees of the Notes. Investments in consolidated subsidiaries have been presented under the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries, intercompany balances, and intercompany revenue and expenses. The unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements below have been prepared from the Company's financial information on the same basis of accounting as the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and may not necessarily be indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows had the Parent, Guarantors and Non-Guarantors operated as independent entities.

Item 2.	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We provide replacement parts, components and systems used in the repair and maintenance of vehicles, as well as specialty vehicle products and accessories.

Buyers of vehicle replacement products have the option to purchase from primarily five sources: new products produced by original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), which are commonly known as OEM products; new products produced by companies other than the OEMs, which are sometimes referred to as aftermarket products; recycled products obtained from salvage vehicles; used products that have been refurbished; and used products that have been remanufactured. We distribute a variety of products to collision and mechanical repair shops, including aftermarket collision and mechanical products, recycled collision and mechanical products, refurbished collision products such as wheels, bumper covers and lights, and remanufactured engines. Collectively, we refer to these products as alternative parts because they are not new OEM products.

We are the nation’s largest provider of alternative vehicle collision replacement products and a leading provider of alternative vehicle mechanical replacement products, with our sales, processing, and distribution facilities reaching most major markets in the United States and Canada. We are also a leading provider of alternative vehicle replacement and maintenance products in the United Kingdom and the Benelux region of continental Europe. In addition to our wholesale operations, we operate ~~heavy truck facilities and~~ self service retail facilities across the U.S. that sell recycled automotive products from end-of-life-vehicles. In 2014, we expanded our product offering to include specialty vehicle aftermarket equipment and accessories through the acquisition of Keystone Specialty.

We are organized into four operating segments: Wholesale - North America; Wholesale - Europe; Self Service; and Specialty. We aggregate our Wholesale - North America and Self Service operating segments into one reportable segment, North America, resulting in three reportable segments: North America, Europe and Specialty.

Our revenue, cost of goods sold, and operating results have fluctuated on a quarterly and annual basis in the past and can be expected to continue to fluctuate in the future as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. Please refer to the factors discussed in Forward-Looking Statements above. Due to these factors and others, which may be unknown to us at this time, our operating results in future periods can be expected to fluctuate. Accordingly, our historical results of operations may not be indicative of future performance.

Acquisitions and Investments

Since our inception in 1998, we have pursued a growth strategy through both organic growth and acquisitions. We have pursued acquisitions that we believe will help drive profitability, cash flow and stockholder value. Our principal focus for acquisitions is companies that are market leaders, will expand our geographic presence and enhance our ability to provide a wide array of automotive products to our customers through our distribution network.

During the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~ June 30, 2015,, we ~~acquired~~ ~~one~~made ten acquisitions, including three wholesale ~~business~~businesses in North America and ~~one~~seven wholesale ~~business~~businesses in Europe. ~~These~~Our European acquisitions included seven aftermarket parts distribution businesses in the Netherlands, five of which were former customers of and distributors for our Netherlands subsidiary, Sator,

and were acquired with the objective of expanding our distribution network in the Netherlands. Our other acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2015 enabled us to expand our geographic presence.

In July 2015, we completed the acquisition of Parts Channel Inc., an aftermarket collision parts distributor, as well as the acquisitions of two aftermarket distributors in the Netherlands and a self service retail operation in the U.S.

During the year endedDecember 31, 2014,, we completed 23 acquisitions, including our January 2014 acquisition of

Keystone Specialty. Keystone Specialty is a leading distributor and marketer of specialty vehicle aftermarket equipment and accessories in North America serving the following six product segments: truck and off-road; speed and performance; recreational vehicle; towing; wheels, tires and performance handling; and miscellaneous accessories. Our acquisition of Keystone Specialty allowed us to enter into new product lines and increased the size of our addressable market. In addition, we believe that the acquisition creates logistics and administrative cost synergies and potential cross-selling opportunities.

In addition to our acquisition of Keystone Specialty, we acquired nine wholesale businesses in North America, nine wholesale businesses in Europe, two self service retail operations, and two specialty vehicle aftermarket businesses. Our European acquisitions included seven aftermarket parts distribution businesses in the Netherlands, five of which were customers of and distributors for our Netherlands subsidiary, Sator. In the Netherlands, we are converting our existing distribution model to more closely align it with the distribution model of our U.K. operations. The objective of the realignment is to allow us to sell directly to the end repair shop customer rather than through a local wholesale distributor. We expect the realignment to improve margins, customer service, and fulfillment rates. It should also position us in the long term to introduce additional product categories, such as collision and specialty vehicle. The other acquisitions completed during 2014 enabled us to expand existing markets, introduce new product lines, and enter new markets.

See Note 8, "Business Combinations" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for information related to our acquisitions.

Sources of Revenue

We report our revenue in two categories: (i) parts and services and (ii) other. Our parts and services revenue is generated from the sale of vehicle products and related services including (i) aftermarket, other new and refurbished products and (ii) recycled, remanufactured and related products and services. During the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, parts and services revenue represented approximately 93% of our consolidated revenue.

The majority of our parts and services revenue is generated from the sale of vehicle replacement products to collision and mechanical repair shops. Our vehicle replacement products include sheet metal crash parts such as doors, hoods, and fenders; bumper covers; engines; head and tail lamps; and wheels. The demand for these products is influenced by several factors, including the number of vehicles in operation, the number of miles being driven, the frequency and severity of vehicle accidents, the age profile of vehicles in accidents, the availability and pricing of new OEM parts, seasonal weather patterns and local weather conditions. Additionally, automobile insurers exert significant influence over collision repair shops as to how an insured vehicle is repaired and the cost level of the products used in the repair process. Accordingly, we consider automobile insurers to be key demand drivers of our vehicle replacement products. While they are not our direct customers, we do provide insurance carriers services in an effort to promote the increased usage of alternative replacement products in the repair process. Such services include the review of vehicle repair order estimates, direct quotation services to insurance company adjusters and an aftermarket parts quality and service assurance program. We neither charge a fee to the insurance carriers for these services nor adjust our pricing of products for our customers when we perform these services for insurance carriers. There is no standard price for many of our vehicle replacement products, but rather a pricing structure that varies from day to day based upon such factors as product availability, quality, demand, new OEM product prices, the age and mileage of the vehicle from which the part was obtained, competitor pricing and our product cost.

Our revenue from aftermarket, other new and refurbished products also includes revenue generated from the sale of specialty aftermarket vehicle equipment and accessories. These products are primarily sold to a large customer base of specialty vehicle retailers and equipment installers, including mostly independent, single-site operators. Specialty vehicle aftermarket products are typically installed on vehicles within the first year of ownership to enhance functionality, performance or aesthetics. As a result, the demand for these products is influenced by new and used vehicle sales and the overall economic health of vehicle owners, which may be affected by general business conditions, interest rates, inflation, consumer debt levels and other matters that influence consumer confidence and spending. The prices for our specialty vehicle products are based on manufacturers' suggested retail prices, with discounts applied based on prevailing market conditions, customer volumes and promotions that we may offer from time to time.

For the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, revenue from other sources represented approximately 7% of our consolidated sales. These other sources include scrap sales, bulk sales to mechanical remanufacturers (including cores), and sales of aluminum ingots and sows from our furnace operations. We derive scrap metal from several sources, including vehicles

that have been used in both our wholesale and self service recycling operations and from OEMs and other entities that contract with us for secure disposal of "crush only" vehicles. Other revenue will vary from period to period based on fluctuations in commodity prices and the volume of materials sold.

Cost of Goods Sold

Our cost of goods sold for aftermarket products includes the price we pay for the parts, freight, and overhead costs related to the purchasing, warehousing and distribution of our inventory, including labor, facility and equipment costs and depreciation. Our aftermarket products are acquired from a number of vendors. Our cost of goods sold for refurbished products includes the price we pay for cores, freight, and costs to refurbish the parts, including direct and indirect labor, facility and equipment costs, depreciation and other overhead related to our refurbishing operations.

Our cost of goods sold for recycled products includes the price we pay for the salvage vehicle and, where applicable, auction, towing and storage fees. Prices for salvage vehicles may be impacted by a variety of factors, including the number of buyers competing to purchase the vehicles, the demand and pricing trends for used vehicles, the number of vehicles designated as “total losses” by insurance companies, the production level of new vehicles (which provides the source from which salvage vehicles ultimately come), the age of vehicles at auction and the status of laws regulating bidders or exporters of salvage vehicles. From time to time, we may also adjust our buying strategy to target vehicles with different attributes (for example, age, level of damage, and revenue potential). Due to changes relating to these factors, we have seen the prices we pay for salvage vehicles fluctuate over time. Our cost of goods sold also includes labor and other costs we incur to acquire and dismantle such vehicles. Our labor and labor-related costs related to acquisition and dismantling generally account for between 8%12% and ~~10%~~14% of our cost of goods sold for vehicles we dismantle. The acquisition and dismantling of salvage vehicles is a manual process and, as a result, energy costs are not material. Our cost of goods sold for remanufactured products includes the price we pay for cores; freight; and costs to remanufacture the products, including direct and indirect labor, facility and equipment costs, depreciation and other overhead related to our remanufacturing operations.

Some of our salvage mechanical products are sold with a standard six-month warranty against defects. Additionally, some of our remanufactured engines are sold with a standard three-year warranty against defects. We also provide a limited lifetime warranty for certain of our aftermarket products that is supported by certain of the suppliers of those products. We record the estimated warranty costs at the time of sale using historical warranty claims information to project future warranty claims activity and related expenses.

Other revenue is primarily generated from the hulks and unusable parts of the vehicles we acquire for our wholesale and self service recycled product operations, and therefore, the costs of these sales include the proportionate share of the price we pay for the salvage vehicles as well as the applicable auction, storage and towing fees and internal costs to purchase and dismantle the vehicles. Our cost of goods sold for other revenue will fluctuate based on the prices paid for salvage vehicles, which may be impacted by a variety of factors as discussed above.

Expenses

Our facility and warehouse expenses primarily include our costs to operate our aftermarket selling warehouses, salvage yards and self service retail facilities. These costs include personnel expenses such as wages, incentive compensation and employee benefits for plant management and facility and warehouse personnel, as well as rent for our facilities and related utilities, property taxes, repairs and maintenance. The costs included in facility and warehouse expenses do not relate to inventory processing or conversion activities and, as such, are classified below the gross margin line on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Our distribution expenses primarily include our costs to prepare and deliver our products to our customers. Included in our distribution expense category are personnel costs such as wages, employee benefits and incentive compensation for drivers; third party freight costs; fuel; and expenses related to our delivery and transfer trucks, including vehicle leases, repairs and maintenance and insurance.

Our selling and marketing expenses primarily include salary, commission and other incentive compensation expenses for sales personnel; advertising, promotion and marketing costs; credit card fees; telephone and other communication expenses; and bad debt expense. Personnel costs generally account for between 75% and 80% of our selling and marketing expenses. Most of our sales personnel are paid on a commission basis. The number and quality of our sales force is critical to our ability to respond to our customers’ needs and increase our sales volume. Our objective is to continually evaluate our sales force, develop and implement training programs, and utilize appropriate measurements to assess our selling effectiveness.

Our general and administrative expenses primarily include the costs of our corporate offices and field support center, which provide management, treasury, accounting, legal, payroll, business development, human resources and information systems functions. General and administrative expenses include wages, benefits, stock-based compensation and other incentive

compensation for corporate, regional and administrative personnel; information systems support and maintenance expenses; and accounting, legal and other professional fees.

Seasonality

Our operating results are subject to quarterly variations based on a variety of factors, influenced primarily by seasonal changes in weather patterns. During the winter months, we tend to have higher demand for our vehicle replacement products because there are more weather related accidents, which generate repairs. We expect our specialty vehicle operations to generate greater revenue and earnings in the first half of the year, when vehicle owners tend to install this equipment.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, which we filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015, includes a summary of the critical accounting policies we believe are the most important to aid in understanding our financial results. There have been no changes to those critical accounting policies that have had a material impact on our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue or expenses during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015.

Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to revenue changes during the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year period.

Cost of Goods Sold. Our cost of goods sold ~~increased~~decreased to 60.6% of revenue in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 from ~~59.9%~~60.7% of revenue in the comparable prior year quarter. Compared to the first quarter of 2014, we expanded the proportion of revenue generated by our Specialty and European segments. These segments yield lower gross margins than our North American business, and the resulting shift in mix resulted in an unfavorable impact on our gross margins by 0.5% of revenue. The growth of our Specialty business accounted for 0.4% of the negative mix effect, primarily due to our October 2014 acquisition of a supplier of parts for recreational vehicles. The remaining 0.2% increasedecline in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue was primarily ~~due~~attributable to ~~a decline in~~ gross ~~margins~~margin improvement in our North American ~~segment.~~(0.3%) and European (0.2%) operations. Partially offsetting these margin improvements was a negative mix effect of 0.3%. The growth of our Specialty business, primarily resulting from our 2014 acquisition of a supplier of parts for recreational vehicles, was responsible for most of the mix effect, as this business yields lower gross margins than our North American and European segments. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the changes in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue by segment for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014.

Facility and Warehouse Expenses. As a percentage of revenue, facility and warehouse expenses for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 decreased to ~~7.5%~~7.4% from ~~7.8%~~7.5% in the prior year ~~first~~second quarter. The decline in facility and warehouse expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to mix effects, as a greater proportion of revenue was generated by our Specialty and European ~~segments.~~segments in 2015. Compared to our North American operations, these segments store a greater portion of inventory at their regional distribution centers, the costs of which are capitalized into inventory and expensed through cost of goods sold. In our North American wholesale operations, most of the inventory sold by our local operations is stored on site rather than in distribution centers, and the related facility and warehouse expenses of the local operations are recorded in this line item.

Distribution Expenses. As a percentage of revenue, distribution expenses decreased to ~~8.0%~~8.2% in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 from ~~8.4%~~8.6% in the comparable prior year ~~quarter. Each of our segments contributed a roughly equal portion of the overall reduction in distribution expense as a percentage of revenue. In our North American segment, the reduction was~~quarter, primarily due to ~~lower~~favorable fuel ~~prices, which reduced our fuel expense. The reduction~~prices. Of the 0.3% decline in distribution expenses as a percentage of revenue inrelated to favorable fuel pricing, 0.2% was attributable to our North American segment and the remaining 0.1% was attributable to our Specialty ~~segment reflects lower fuel expense as well as the realization of acquisition integration synergies. In our~~and European segment, the decline was due to a reduction in expenses as a percentage of revenue in our U.K. operations, combined with a positive mix effect from a greater proportion of our revenue generated in our continental European operations, which incur lower distribution expenses as a percentage of revenue compared to our U.K. operations. Distribution expenses in our U.K. operations benefited from internalizing previously outsourced delivery expenses as well as lower fuel expense due to a decline in fuel pricing.segments.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 increased to ~~11.5%~~11.2% of revenue from ~~11.4%~~10.9% of revenue in the prior year ~~first~~second quarter. This increase ~~reflected~~is primarily related to an increase in our sales force and general and administrative personnel in our European segment due to ~~the acquisition of our Netherlands distributors (+0.2%). However, this increase was partially offset by integration synergies~~higher personnel expenses in our ~~Specialty segment (-0.1%).~~U.K. operations as a percentage of revenue.

Restructuring and Acquisition Related Expenses. The following table summarizes restructuring and acquisition related expenses for the periods indicated (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended								Three Months Ended

(1)	~~Includes $5.9 million of expense~~Primarily related to the integration of acquired businesses in our Specialty segment. These integration activities included the closure of duplicate facilities and termination of employees in connection with the integration of the acquisitions into our existing business.

(2)

Includes ~~$2.8~~$2.6 million of restructuring expenses related to the integration of our January 2014 Keystone Specialty ~~acquisition.~~acquisition and $1.6 million of restructuring expenses related to the integration of certain of our other acquisitions into our existing business. Our restructuring expenses included severance for termination of overlapping headcount, moving expenses, and excess facility costs, such as lease reserves and other lease termination costs.


(3)	~~Includes $0.4 million and $0.1 million of external costs~~Primarily related to our acquisitions of six aftermarket parts distribution businesses in ~~our European and North American segments, respectively.~~the Netherlands during the second quarter of 2015.


(4)	Includes external costs primarily related to our ~~January 2014 acquisition~~acquisitions of ~~Keystone Specialty.~~five aftermarket parts distribution businesses in the Netherlands in the second quarter of 2014.

See Note 9, "Restructuring and Acquisition Related Expenses" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our restructuring and integration plans.

Depreciation and Amortization. The following table ~~provides additional information about~~summarizes depreciation and amortization for the periods indicated (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended
	June 30,
	2015		2014		Change
Depreciation	$	21,557	$	21,613	$	(56	)	⁽¹⁾
Amortization	8,225		8,314		(89		)	⁽²⁾
Total depreciation and amortization	$	29,782	$	29,927	$	(145	)


(1)	Reflects a decline in depreciation of $0.9 million attributable to the impact of foreign exchange rates, partially offset by depreciation related to increased levels of property and equipment to support our acquisition and organic related growth.

(2)

Reflects a decline in amortization of $0.5 million related to the impact of foreign exchange rates. This was partially offset by amortization of intangible assets related to our acquisitions completed since the second quarter of 2014, including amortization related to $29.1 million of intangibles recognized on our October 2014 acquisitions of two Specialty businesses. As we amortize customer relationship intangibles on an accelerated basis, amortization expense will be relatively higher in the initial post-acquisition years.

Other Expense, Net. The following table summarizes the components of the year-over-year increase in ~~depreciation~~other expense, net (in thousands):



Other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2014	$	13,931
(Decrease) increase due to:
Interest expense, net	(1,006		)	⁽¹⁾
Change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities	915			⁽²⁾
Other income, net	879			⁽³⁾
Net increase	788
Other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2015	$	14,719


(1)	Due to lower outstanding debt levels compared to the prior year period. The higher outstanding debt levels in the prior year were primarily related to borrowings used to finance the Keystone Specialty acquisition in January 2014.

(2)

During the three months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded losses of $0.1 million as a result of fair value adjustments to our contingent consideration liabilities, compared to gains of $0.8 million in the prior year quarter. See Note 6, "Fair Value Measurements" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our contingent payment arrangements.

(3)

The impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses was $0.4 million and $0.2 million unfavorable to the prior year period in our North American and European operations, respectively. This impact includes unrealized and realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and unrealized mark-to-market losses on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge the purchase of inventory.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate was 34.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, compared to 34.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The higher effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 is primarily a result of our expected geographic distribution of income. Compared to the prior year period, we anticipate a smaller proportion of our pre-tax income will be earned in the typically lower tax rate international jurisdictions. The effect of the shift in our geographic distribution of income was partially offset by favorable discrete items of $0.4 million recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2015, primarily as a result of U.S. state deferred tax adjustments.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. During the second quarter of 2015, we recorded net operating losses from our equity method investments totaling $1.2 million, compared to $0.4 million of net operating losses in the second quarter of 2014.

Foreign Currency Impact. We translate our statements of income at the average exchange rates in effect for the period. Relative to the rates used for the second quarter of 2014, the pound sterling, euro and ~~amortization~~Canadian dollar rates used to translate the 2015 statements of income declined by 8.9%, 19.3%, and 11.3%, respectively. The translation effect of the decline of these currencies against the U.S. dollar and realized and unrealized currency losses in the quarter resulted in an approximately $0.02 negative effect on diluted earnings per share relative to the prior year period.

Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to revenue changes during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior year ~~first quarter~~period.

Cost of Goods Sold. Our cost of goods sold increased to 60.6% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 60.3% of revenue in the comparable prior year period. A negative mix effect accounted for 0.4% of the increase in cost of goods sold, primarily resulting from growth of our Specialty business from our 2014 acquisition of a supplier of parts for recreational vehicles, as this business yields lower gross margins than our North American and European segments. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the changes in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Facility and Warehouse Expenses. As a percentage of revenue, facility and warehouse expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased to 7.4% from 7.6% in the prior year period. The decline in facility and warehouse expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily due to mix effects, as a greater proportion of revenue was generated by our Specialty and European segments in 2015. Compared to our North American operations, these segments store a greater portion of inventory at their regional distribution centers, the costs of which are capitalized into inventory and expensed through cost of goods sold. In our North American wholesale operations, most of the inventory sold by our local operations is stored on site rather than in distribution centers, and the related facility and warehouse expenses of the local operations are recorded in this line item.

Distribution Expenses. As a percentage of revenue, distribution expenses decreased to 8.1% in the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 8.5% in the comparable prior year period, primarily due to favorable fuel prices. Of the 0.4% decline in distribution expenses as a percentage of revenue related to favorable fuel pricing, 0.3% was attributable to our North American segment and the remaining 0.1% was attributable to our Specialty and European segments.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased to 11.3% of revenue from 11.1% of revenue in the prior year period. The increase in these expenses as a percentage of revenue is primarily a result of greater expenditures for our sales force and general and administrative personnel in our European segment, including an approximately equal impact from the acquisitions of our Netherlands distributors and greater expenditures in our U.K. operations.

Increase in amortization expense is a result of amortization of intangible assets related to our acquisitions completed since the beginning of the prior year. We recognized $29.1 million of intangibles related to our October 2014 acquisitions of two Specialty businesses. As we amortize customer relationship intangibles on an accelerated basis, amortization expense will be relatively higher in the initial post-acquisition years. Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in amortization of $0.9 million related to the impact of foreign exchange rates.

~~Due~~Approximately half of the reduction in interest expense, net is due to lower interest rates on borrowings under our senior secured credit agreement compared to the prior year ~~period.~~period, with the remainder of the decline attributable to lower outstanding borrowings. The higher outstanding debt levels in the prior year were primarily related to borrowings used to finance the Keystone Specialty acquisition in January 2014.


(2)	During the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2014, we incurred a $0.3 million loss on debt extinguishment as a result of our March 2014 amendment to our senior secured credit agreement. We did not incur a similar charge during the current year ~~first quarter.~~period.

(3)

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we recorded losses of ~~$0.2~~$0.3 million as a result of fair value adjustments to our contingent consideration liabilities, compared to gains of ~~$1.2~~$2.0 million in the prior year ~~quarter.~~period. See Note 6, "Fair Value ~~Measurements~~"Measurements" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our contingent payment arrangements.

Primarily due to ~~$1.4~~$1.6 million and $0.8 million of greater foreign currency transaction losses in our European and North American operations, respectively, including the impact of unrealized mark-to-market losses on foreign currency forward contracts used to hedge the purchase of inventory and, to a lesser extent, unrealized and realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

inventory and, to a lesser extent, unrealized and realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate was ~~35.5%~~35.2% for the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~ June 30, 2015,, compared to 34.0% for the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31, 2014~~. June 30, 2014. The higher effective income tax rate for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 is primarily a result of our expected geographic distribution of income. ~~As compared~~Compared to the prior year period, we anticipate a smaller proportion of our pre-tax income will be earned in the typically lower tax rate international jurisdictions. In addition, the tax provision for the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2015 includes unfavorable discrete items of ~~$0.7~~$0.3 million primarily as a result of U.S. state deferred tax adjustments, compared to $0.1 million of unfavorable discrete items during the prior year ~~first quarter.~~period.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. During the ~~first quarter of~~six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded an impairment charge of $1.0 million in our equity method investment in a U.K. venture. No tax benefit was recognized related to this charge. Net operating losses in our other equity method investments totaled ~~$0.9~~$2.1 million for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2015.

Foreign Currency Impact. We translate our statements of income at the average exchange rates in effect for the period. Relative to the rates used for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014, the pound sterling, euro and Canadian dollar rates used to translate the 2015 statements of income declined by ~~8.4%~~8.7%, ~~17.7%~~18.5%, and ~~11.1%~~11.2%, respectively. The translation effect of the ~~devaluation~~decline of these currencies against the U.S. dollar and realized and unrealized currency losses in the quarter resulted in an approximately ~~$0.02~~$0.03 negative effect on diluted earnings per share relative to the prior year period.

Results of Operations—Segment Reporting

We have four operating segments: Wholesale – North America; Wholesale – Europe; Self Service; and Specialty. ~~Our Specialty operating segment was formed with our January 3, 2014 acquisition of Keystone Specialty, as discussed in~~ ~~Note 8, "Business Combinations" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.~~ Our Wholesale – North America and Self Service operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment, North America, because they possess similar economic characteristics and have common products and services, customers, and methods of distribution. Therefore, we present three reportable segments: North America, Europe and Specialty.

We evaluate growth and profitability in our operations on both an as reported and a constant currency basis. The constant currency presentation, which is a non-GAAP measure, excludes the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We believe providing constant currency information provides valuable supplemental information regarding our growth and profitability, consistent with how we evaluate our performance. Constant currency Segment EBITDA results are calculated by translating prior year Segment EBITDA in local currency using the current year's currency conversion rate. This non-GAAP measure has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute

for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other issuers due to the potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation.

segment's percentage of consolidated revenue. Segment EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA excluding restructuring and acquisition related expenses, change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities and equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries. EBITDA, which is the basis for Segment EBITDA, is calculated as net income excluding depreciation, amortization, interest (including loss on debt extinguishment) and taxes. Loss on debt extinguishment is considered a component of interest in calculating EBITDA, as the write-off of debt issuance costs is similar to the treatment of debt issuance cost amortization. See Note 13, "Segment and Geographic Information" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of total Segment EBITDA to Net Income.

(3)

Approximately ~~$21~~$29 million of the ~~$28~~$35 million organic decline in other revenue was a result of lower prices received from the sale of scrap and other metals. This was primarily due to lower prices from the sale of crushed auto bodies, which fluctuate based on steel prices. Lower sales volumes were responsible for the remaining decline, primarily due to fewer vehicles processed relative to the prior year ~~first~~second quarter. Compared to the prior year period, we purchased fewer salvage vehicles, and we anticipate the reduction in purchasing volumes will impact our organic growth in other revenue into the second quarter of 2015.

Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased ~~$3.3~~$1.7 million, or ~~2.2%~~1.3%, in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year ~~first~~second quarter. The decline in steel prices as described in the revenue section above had a negative year over year impact of ~~$9.2~~$5.7 million on North American Segment ~~EBITDA.~~EBITDA and a $0.01 negative effect on diluted earnings per share relative to the prior year period.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our North American segment:

(1)

Primarily attributable to favorable mix impact (0.3%) resulting from more revenue being derived from our wholesale operations, which relative to our self service operations have higher gross margin percentages during periods when scrap prices decline. Our aftermarket operations contributed 0.3% of the improvement in gross margin as a result of increasing our net prices to our customers. Partially offsetting these amounts was a negative gross margin impact of 0.2% caused by a narrowing spread between the prices received for scrap and other metals and the cost of the scrap component of the cars that we crushed.

(2)

Primarily a result of the negative impact on operating leverage caused by the decline in scrap revenue as a result of lower scrap prices (0.7%), partially offset by a 0.4% improvement in fuel costs as a result of favorable pricing compared to the prior year second quarter. In periods of falling scrap revenue, we do not experience a commensurate decline in operating expenses as we have few variable costs associated with the sale of scrap.

Europe

Third Party Revenue. The following table summarizes the changes in third party revenue by category in our European segment (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Percentage Change in Revenue
Europe	2015		2014		Organic ⁽¹⁾		Acquisition ⁽²⁾		Foreign Exchange ⁽³⁾		Total Change
Parts & services revenue	$	508,731	$	464,698	10.1	%	11.1	%	(11.7	)%	9.5	%

Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)

In our U.K. operations, parts and services revenue grew organically by 11.6%, while in our continental European operations, parts and services revenue grew 6.2%, resulting in net organic revenue growth of 10.1% over the prior year. Our organic revenue growth in the U.K., which resulted from higher sales volumes, was composed of a 7.1% increase in revenue from stores open more than 12 months and a 4.5% increase from revenue generated by 38 branch openings since the beginning of the prior year second quarter through the one year anniversary of their respective opening dates. Organic revenue growth in our continental European operations was primarily due to the opening of a new warehouse location in France in 2014 and, to a lesser extent, growth in our Belgian market.


(2)	Includes $44.4 million from our acquisitions of 14 distribution companies in the Netherlands completed since the beginning of the prior year second quarter through the one year anniversary of acquisition.

(3)

Compared to the prior year, exchange rates reduced our revenue growth by $54.3 million, or 11.7%, primarily due to the strengthening U.S. dollar against both the pound sterling and euro relative to the second quarter of 2014. Based on exchange rates through July 2015 and projections for the remainder of the year, we expect there will be a negative effect on revenue growth for the remainder of 2015 as a result of foreign currency exchange movements.

Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $8.0 million, or 17.4%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year second quarter. Our European Segment EBITDA includes a negative year over year impact of $5.2 million related to the translation of local currency results into U.S. dollars at lower exchange rates than those experienced in the second quarter of 2014. On a constant currency basis (i.e. excluding the translation impact), Segment EBITDA increased by $13.2 million, or 29%, compared to the prior year second quarter. Our European Segment EBITDA for the second quarter of 2015 also reflects an increase in foreign exchange transaction losses of $0.2 million as compared to the prior year quarter. Refer to the Foreign Currency Impact discussion within the Results of Operations - Consolidated section above for further detail regarding foreign currency impact on our results for the second quarter of 2015.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our European segment:



Europe	Percentage of Total Segment Revenue
Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2014	9.9	%
Increase due to:
Change in gross margin	0.7	%	(1)
Change in segment operating expenses	0.0	%	(2)
Change in other expenses	0.0	%
Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2015	10.6	%
Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.


(1)	Reflects gross margin improvement of 0.4% in our continental European operations, primarily as a result of internalizing incremental gross margin from our 2014 acquisitions of seven Netherlands distributors, and gross margin improvement of 0.3% in our U.K. operations, primarily as a result of a reduction in the net price paid for the purchase of aftermarket products.

(2)

Reflects the offsetting effects of (i) a decline in distribution expenses as a percentage of revenue in our U.K. operations (0.7%) as a result of internalizing previously outsourced delivery expenses as well as lower fuel costs, (ii) lower facility and warehouse expenses in our continental Europe operations (0.5%) due to the realization of synergies within personnel expenses, (iii) an increase in selling, general and administrative personnel expenses in our U.K. operations (0.7%) to support growth of the business, and (iv) an increase in selling, general and administrative personnel

expenses in our continental Europe operations (0.4%) related to the 2014 and 2015 acquisitions of our Netherlands distributors, which have higher selling, general and administrative expenses than our legacy business.

(3)	Compared to the prior year, exchange rates reduced our revenue growth by 1.9%, primarily due to the strengthening U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $11.8 million, or 41.8%, in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior year second quarter.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our Specialty segment:



Specialty	Percentage of Total Segment Revenue
Segment EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2014	13.0	%

Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.

(1)

Our acquisition of a supplier of parts for recreational vehicles completed in the fourth quarter of 2014 resulted in a 0.7% decline in gross margin compared to the prior year second quarter. Compared to our existing Specialty business, this acquisition realizes lower gross margins than our other specialty product sales. Partially offsetting this decrease were gross margin improvements attributable primarily to a sales mix shift toward higher margin product lines, particularly truck and off road products due to improved economic conditions.

(2)

Reflects a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue (0.7%) primarily as a result of integration synergies, as well as a reduction in distribution expenses (0.5%). The reduction in distribution expenses as a percentage of revenue was primarily attributable to favorable fuel pricing compared to the prior year second quarter (0.6%) and logistics synergies as we leverage our North American distribution network for the delivery of specialty products (0.5%). These reductions in distribution expenses were partially offset by higher freight costs (0.7%) driven by higher use of third-party freight to handle increased volumes as well as sales related to our October 2014 acquisition of a supplier of parts for recreational vehicles, which are all shipped via third party carriers.

(1)	Reflects the impact of 13 wholesale businesses and two self service retail operations acquired since the beginning of 2014.

(2)

Approximately two-thirds of our organic growth in parts and services revenue was due to increased net pricing in our wholesale operations. In the third quarter of 2014, we shifted our salvage vehicle purchasing to higher quality vehicles, which increased the average revenue per part sold during the first half of 2015. In our aftermarket operations, we increased our net prices to customers compared to the first half of the prior year. The remainder of our organic growth in parts and services revenue was primarily due to increased sales volumes, mostly in our salvage operations.

(3)

Approximately $49 million of the $63 million organic decline in other revenue was a result of lower prices received from the sale of scrap and other metals. This was primarily due to lower prices from the sale of crushed auto bodies, which fluctuate based on steel prices. Lower sales volumes were responsible for the remaining decline, primarily due to fewer vehicles processed relative to the prior year period.

Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $5.0 million, or 1.8%, in the first half of 2015 compared to the comparative period in the prior year. The decline in steel prices as described in the revenue section above had a negative year over year impact of $14.8 million on North American Segment EBITDA and a $0.03 negative effect on diluted earnings per share relative to the prior year period.

The following table summarizes the changes in Segment EBITDA as a percentage of revenue in our North American segment:

(1)	~~Includes $45.3 million from our 2014 acquisitions of seven distribution companies in the Netherlands.~~

~~(2)~~

In our U.K. operations, parts and services revenue grew organically by ~~16.8%~~14.1%, while in our continental European operations, parts and services revenue grew ~~5.3%~~organically by 5.8%, resulting in net organic revenue growth of ~~14.0%~~12.0% over the prior year. Our organic revenue growth in the U.K., which resulted from higher sales volumes, was composed of ~~a 10.2%~~an 8.6% increase in revenue from stores open more than 12 months and a ~~6.6%~~5.5% increase from revenue generated by 4749 branch openings since the beginning of the prior year through the one year anniversary of their respective opening dates. Organic revenue growth in our continental European operations was primarily due to the opening of a new warehouse location in France in ~~2014.~~2014 and, to a lesser extent, growth in our Belgian market.


(2)	Includes $89.7 million from our acquisitions of 14 distribution companies in the Netherlands completed since the beginning of 2014 through the one year anniversary of acquisition.

(3)

Compared to the prior year, exchange rates reduced our revenue growth by ~~10.7%~~$99.4 million, or 11.2%, primarily due to the strengthening U.S. dollar against both the pound sterling and euro ~~in the fourth quarter of 2014 through~~relative to the first ~~quarter~~half of ~~2015.~~2014. Based on exchange rates through ~~April~~July 2015 and projections for the remainder of the year, we expect there will be a negative effect on revenue growth for the remainder of 2015 as a result of foreign currency exchange movements.

Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased ~~$5.4~~$13.4 million, or ~~13.0%~~15.4%, in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2015 compared to the comparative period in the prior ~~year first quarter.~~year. Our European Segment EBITDA includes a negative year over year impact of ~~$5.7~~$9.5 million related to the translation of local currency results into U.S. dollars at lower exchange rates than those experienced in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014. ~~To calculate~~On a constant currency basis (i.e. excluding the ~~foreign currency~~ translation ~~impact on~~impact), Segment EBITDA ~~we multiply our current year local currency results~~increased by ~~the change in the average foreign exchange rates from the prior year~~$22.9 million, or 26%, compared to the ~~current year.~~first half of 2014. Our European Segment EBITDA for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2015 also reflects an increase toin foreign exchange transaction losses of ~~$1.4~~$1.6 million as compared to the prior year ~~quarter.~~period. Refer to the Foreign Currency Impact discussion within the Results of Operations - Consolidated section above for further detail regarding foreign currency impact on our results for the first ~~quarter~~half of 2015.

(1)

Primarily due to the impact of our acquisition of a supplier of parts for recreational vehicles completed in the fourth quarter of ~~2014.~~2014 (0.8%). Compared to our existing Specialty business, this acquisition realizes lower gross margins than our other specialty product sales. Partially offsetting this decrease were gross margin improvements attributable primarily to a sales mix shift toward higher margin product lines, particularly truck and off road products due to improved economic conditions.

(2)

~~Primarily~~Reflects a reduction in distribution expenses (0.9%) as well as a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue (0.6%) primarily as a result of ~~lower~~integration synergies.

2015 Outlook

We estimate that full year 2015 net income and diluted earnings per share, excluding the impact of any restructuring and acquisition related expenses, and any gains or losses related to acquisitions or divestitures (including changes in the fair value of contingent consideration liabilities) and loss on debt extinguishment, will be in the range of ~~$420~~$425 million to ~~$450~~$445 million and ~~$1.36~~$1.38 to ~~$1.46,~~$1.45, respectively.

⁽¹⁾ Includes our revolving credit facilities and our receivables securitization facility.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to fund our operations and provide for expansion through both internal development and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and our credit facilities. We utilize our cash flows from operations to fund working capital and capital expenditures, with the excess amounts going towards funding acquisitions or paying down outstanding debt. As we have pursued acquisitions as part of our growth strategy, our cash flows from operations have not always been sufficient to cover our investing activities. To fund our acquisitions, we have accessed various forms of debt financing, including our senior secured credit facilities, senior notes, and receivables securitization facility.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we had debt outstanding and additional available sources of financing as follows:

Senior secured credit facilities maturing in May 2019, composed of $450 million in term loans ($~~428~~422 million outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015) and $1.85 billion in revolving credit ($~~547~~541 million outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015), bearing interest at variable rates (although a portion of this debt is hedged through interest rate swap contracts)

Senior notes totaling $600 million, maturing in May 2023 and bearing interest at a 4.75% fixed rate

Receivables securitization facility with availability up to $97 million ($9795 million outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015), maturing in October 2017 and bearing interest at variable commercial paper rates

From time to time, we may undertake financing transactions to increase our available liquidity, such as our March 2014 amendment to our senior secured credit facilities and our September 2014 amendment to our receivables securitization facility. Our financing structure, which includes our senior secured credit facilities, senior notes, and receivables securitization facility, provides financial flexibility to execute our long-term growth strategy. If we see an attractive acquisition opportunity, we have the ability to move quickly and have certainty of funding up to the amount of our then-available liquidity.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015,, we had approximately $1.2 billion available under our credit facilities. Combined with approximately ~~$175~~$143 million of cash and equivalents at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015,, we had approximately ~~$1.4~~$1.4 billion in available liquidity, an increase of ~~$165~~$140 million over our available liquidity as of December 31, 2014. We believe that our current liquidity and cash expected to be generated by operating activities in future periods will be sufficient to meet our current operating and capital requirements, although such sources may not be sufficient for future acquisitions depending on their size. While we believe that we currently have adequate capacity, from time to time we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be no assurance that additional funding, or refinancing of our credit facilities, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants or higher interest costs. Our failure to raise capital if and when needed could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

Borrowings under the credit agreement accrue interest at variable rates which are tied to LIBOR or CDOR, depending on the currency and the duration of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin rate which is subject to change quarterly based on our reported leverage ratio. We hold interest rate swaps to hedge the variable rates on our credit agreement borrowings (as described in Note 5, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging ~~Activities~~"Activities" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), with the effect of fixing the interest rates on the respective notional amounts. After giving effect to these interest rate swap contracts, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our credit agreement at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 was ~~2.38%; we expect the rate will decrease in May 2015 as a result of the quarterly reset of our applicable margin rate.~~2.11%. Including our senior notes and the borrowings on our receivables securitization program, our overall weighted average interest rate on borrowings was ~~3.15%~~3.00% at ~~March 31, 2015~~.June 30, 2015. Cash interest payments were ~~$6.9~~$28.7 million for the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~ June 30, 2015,~~, but these payments will increase by~~ including a $14.2 million ~~in the second quarter of 2015 as a result of~~semi-annual interest payment related to our senior notes. The semi-annual interest payments on our senior notes are made in May and November ~~related to our senior notes.~~each year, and began in November 2013. We had outstanding credit agreement borrowings of ~~$1.0~~$1.0 billion and ~~$1.1~~$1.1 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014,, respectively. Of these amounts, $22.5 million was classified as current maturities at both ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and December 31, ~~2014~~.2014. We have scheduled repayments of $5.6 million each quarter on the term loan through its maturity in May 2019, but no other significant principal payments on our credit facilities prior to the maturity of the receivables securitization program in October 2017. In addition to the repayments under our credit facilities, we will make payments on notes payable and other debt totaling ~~$39.8~~$16.9 million in the next 12 months, the majority of which is for payments on notes payable issued in connection with acquisitions.

Our credit agreement contains customary covenants that provide limitations and conditions on our ability to enter into certain transactions. The credit agreement also contains financial and affirmative covenants, including limitations on our net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. We were in compliance with all restrictive covenants under our credit agreement as of ~~March 31, 2015~~.June 30, 2015.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, the Company had cash of ~~$175~~$143 million, of which ~~$95~~$87 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. We consider the undistributed earnings of these foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested, and accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has been provided thereon. Should these earnings be repatriated in the future, in the form of dividends or otherwise, we would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to adjustment for foreign tax credits) and potential withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries. We believe that we have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to meet our financial obligations in the U.S. without resort to repatriation of foreign earnings.

The procurement of inventory is the largest operating use of our funds. We normally pay for aftermarket product purchases at the time of shipment or on standard payment terms, depending on the manufacturer and the negotiated payment terms. We normally pay for salvage vehicles acquired at salvage auctions and under direct procurement arrangements at the time that we take possession of the vehicles.

The following table sets forth a summary of our inventory procurement for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~ June 30, 2015 and 2014:


	Three Months Ended						Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	March 31,						June 30,						June 30,

Aftermarket inventory purchases induring the ~~first quarter of~~three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included incremental purchases of ~~$42~~$37.5 million and $79.7 million in our Specialty segment, ~~as compared to the first quarter of 2014,~~ primarily related to our October 2014 acquisition of a supplier of parts for recreational vehicles as well as overall growth in the Specialty business. ~~Aftermarket inventory purchases for the first quarter of 2015 also included incremental purchases of $18 million in~~In our European segment, ~~as compared to~~our acquisitions of the Netherlands distributors in 2014 and the first half of 2015 contributed incremental inventory purchases of $10.1 million and $29.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively; however, the greater purchase levels resulting from these acquisitions were offset by the devaluation of the pound sterling since the end of the prior year period, primarily attributable to our acquisitions of seven aftermarket parts distribution businesses in the Netherlands during the second and third quarters of 2014. Offsetting these increases was a decrease in aftermarket inventory purchases in our Wholesale -period. In North America, ~~operations of approximately $17 million. In the fourth quarter of 2014,~~ we accelerated our aftermarket inventory purchases in the fourth quarter of 2014 in anticipation of potential labor issues at ~~west coast~~West Coast ports in the U.S., leading to growth in the year-end inventory ~~balance and higher~~balance. As a result, our aftermarket inventory purchases ~~as compared to~~in the first quarter of ~~2015.~~2015 fell below 2014 levels. While we increased our aftermarket inventory purchases above the prior year levels in the second quarter, on a year-to-date basis, our North American purchases were $6.4 million lower than the prior year period. Compared to the prior year ~~first~~second quarter, we reduced our purchases of lower cost self service and "crush only" cars as prices demanded for vehicles in certain markets exceeded our acceptable cost given the prices of scrap and other metals.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $~~180.1~~282.7 million for the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, compared to $~~97.0~~152.2 million during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. During the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2015, our EBITDA increased by

~~$9.8~~ $37.8 million compared to the first ~~quarter~~six months of 2014, due to both acquisition related growth and organic growth. Cash outflows for our primary working capital accounts (receivables, inventory and payables) totaled ~~$7.3~~$29.2 million during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, compared to ~~$78.0~~$133.1 million during the comparable period in 2014, primarily due to decreases in inventory balances as well as increases in accounts payable in our Wholesale - North America and Specialty segments as a result of timing of payments to vendors, offset by increased receivables balances. The decrease in inventory is primarily related to Wholesale - North America.2014. As ~~noted~~discussed above, we ~~accelerated~~increased our North American aftermarket inventory purchases ~~during~~in the fourth quarter of 2014 in anticipation of port issues in the U.S., ~~thus causing growth~~which resulted in higher inventory balances at the ~~year-end inventory balance. We have decreased the aftermarket inventory levels~~end of 2014. Additionally, our U.K. operations experienced higher sales volumes and opened fewer branches during the first ~~quarter~~half of 2015 compared to the prior year period, requiring fewer purchases. As a result, we reflected net cash inflows from inventory in the first half of 2015 compared to cash outflows for inventory in the first half of 2014. Our European operations maintained relatively higher receivables balances throughout the current year period as a result of ~~lower purchases and high~~stronger year-over-year sales ~~volumes. The increase~~ in ~~accounts receivable is primarily related to~~the fourth quarter of 2014; this resulted in lower growth in ~~our Specialty operations caused by seasonal sales fluctuations;~~receivables balances, and therefore lower cash outflows for receivables in the ~~remaining increase related mostly to our Wholesale - North America operations as a result of higher sales.~~current year period. Cash flows related to our primary working capital accounts can be volatile as purchases, payments and collections can be timed differently from period to period and can be influenced by factors outside of our control. However, we expect that the net change in these working capital items will generally be a cash outflow as we grow our business each year.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $~~34.3~~109.2 million for the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, compared to $~~521.3~~702.3 million during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. We invested $~~0.9~~37.2 million of cash, net of cash acquired, in business acquisitions during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 compared to ~~$486.7~~$635.3 million for business acquisitions in the comparable period in 2014, which included $427.1 million for our Keystone Specialty acquisition. Property and equipment purchases were $~~26.1~~66.8 million in the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 compared to $~~33.7~~67.3 million in the comparable period in 2014. During the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we paid $7.5 million to increase our investment in ACM Parts; during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, we paid $2.2 million for investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $~~80.4~~144.9 million for the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, compared to $~~386.2~~506.5 million in net cash provided by financing activities during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. During the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, net repayments under our credit facilities were ~~$73.6~~$105.5 million compared to net borrowings of ~~$401.4~~$571.7 million during the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014. ~~Cash flows from operations tend to be relatively high in the first quarter due~~Compared to the ~~seasonality of~~prior year period, our ~~business,~~cash investment in acquisitions was lower, and therefore, we used ~~a portion of these funds~~the excess cash generated by operations to repay ~~revolver borrowings during the first quarter of 2015. The~~outstanding amounts under our revolving credit facilities.The greater borrowings during the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014 reflect $370 million of revolver borrowings and $80 million of borrowings under our ~~receivable~~receivables facility used to finance the acquisition of Keystone Specialty. Our March 2014 amendment of our credit facilities generated $11.3 million in additional term loan borrowings, which were used to pay $3.7 million in debt issuance costs related to the amendment, as well as to repay outstanding revolver borrowings. In the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we paid $5.2 million for taxes related to net share settlements of stock-based compensation awards; no such payments occurred in 2014. During the first half of 2014, we made a payment of $44.8 million ($39.5 million included in financing cash flows and $5.3 million included in operating cash flows) for the final earnout period under the contingent payment agreement related to our 2011 ECP acquisition. Cash generated from exercises of stock options provided ~~$1.3~~$3.3 million and ~~$2.4~~$4.2 million in the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, respectively. The excess tax benefit from share-based payment arrangements reduced income taxes payable by ~~$5.2~~$6.7 million and ~~$6.8~~$9.7 million in the ~~three~~six months ended~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2014, respectively. During the first ~~quarter~~half of 2014, we paid ~~$9.6~~$20.0 million related to the settlement of a foreign currency forward contract; no such payment occurred during the ~~first quarter~~half of 2015.

We intend to continue to evaluate markets for potential growth through the internal development of distribution centers, processing and sales facilities, and warehouses, through further integration of our facilities, and through selected business acquisitions. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the costs and timing of our internal development efforts and the success of those efforts, the costs and timing of expansion of our sales and marketing activities, and the costs and timing of future business acquisitions.

2015 Outlook

We estimate that our capital expenditures for 2015, excluding business acquisitions, will be between $150 million and $180 million. We expect to use these funds for several major facility expansions, improvement of current facilities, real estate acquisitions and systems development projects. We anticipate that net cash provided by operating activities for 2015 will be approximately ~~$425~~$450 million.


Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our results of operations are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily with respect to borrowings under our credit facilities, where interest rates are tied to the prime rate, LIBOR or CDOR. Therefore, we implemented a policy to manage our exposure to variable interest rates on a portion of our outstanding variable rate debt instruments through the use of interest rate swap contracts. These contracts convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt, matching the currency, effective

dates and maturity dates to specific debt instruments. Net interest payments or receipts from interest rate swap contracts are included as adjustments to interest expense. All of our interest rate swap contracts have been executed with banks that we believe are creditworthy (Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and RBS Citizens, N.A.).

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we held six interest rate swap contracts representing a total of $420 million of U.S. dollar-denominated notional amount debt, £50 million of pound sterling-denominated notional amount debt, and CAD $25 million of Canadian dollar-denominated notional amount debt. Our interest rate swap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and modify the variable rate nature of that portion of our variable rate debt. These swaps have maturity dates ranging from October 2015 through December 2016. In total, we had ~~53%~~54% of our variable rate debt under our credit facilities at fixed rates at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 compared to 47% at December 31, 2014, which reflects a decrease in borrowings in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2015. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, the fair market value of these swap contracts was a net liability of ~~$4.7~~$3.4 million. The values of such contracts are subject to changes in interest rates.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we had ~~$558~~$540 million of variable rate debt that was not hedged. Using sensitivity analysis, a 100 basis point movement in interest rates would change interest expense by ~~$5.6~~$5.4 million over the next twelve months.

The proceeds of our May 2013 senior notes offering were used to finance our euro-denominated acquisition of Sator, as well as to repay a portion of our pound sterling-denominated revolver borrowings held by our European operations. In connection with these transactions, we entered into euro-denominated and pound sterling-denominated intercompany notes, which incurred transaction gains and losses from fluctuations in the U.S. dollar against these currencies. To mitigate these fluctuations, we entered into foreign currency forward ~~contracts to sell €150.0 million for $195.0 million and £70.0 million for $105.8 million.~~contracts. The gains or losses from the remeasurement of these contracts were recorded to earnings to offset the remeasurement of the related notes. These foreign currency forward contracts were settled as of December 31, 2014. While there are no such forward contracts outstanding as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we may enter into additional foreign currency forward contracts from time to time to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates on similar intercompany financing transactions.

Additionally, we are exposed to currency fluctuations with respect to the purchase of aftermarket products from foreign countries. The majority of our foreign inventory purchases are from manufacturers based in Taiwan. While our transactions with manufacturers based in Taiwan are conducted in U.S. dollars, changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the Taiwan dollar might impact the purchase price of aftermarket products. Our aftermarket operations in Canada, which also purchase inventory from Taiwan in U.S. dollars, are further subject to changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar. Our aftermarket operations in the U.K. also source a portion of their inventory from Taiwan, as well as from other European countries and China, resulting in exposure to changes in the relationship of the pound sterling against the euro and the U.S. dollar. We hedge our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations for certain of our purchases in our European operations, but the notional amount and fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 were immaterial. We do not currently attempt to hedge our foreign currency exposure related to our foreign currency denominated inventory purchases in our North American operations, and we may not be able to pass on any price increases to our customers.

Foreign currency fluctuations may also impact the financial results we report for the portions of our business that operate in functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our operations in Europe and other countries represented ~~32.6%~~32.9% of our revenue during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015. An increase or decrease in the strength of the U.S. dollar against these currencies by 10% would result in a 3% change in our consolidated revenue and operating income for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015.

Other than with respect to our intercompany transactions denominated in euro and pound sterling and a portion of our foreign currency denominated inventory purchases in the U.K., we do not hold derivative contracts to hedge foreign currency risk. Our net investment in foreign operations is partially hedged by the foreign currency denominated borrowings we use to fund foreign acquisitions. Additionally, we have elected not to hedge the foreign currency risk related to the interest payments on these borrowings as we generate Canadian dollar, pound sterling and euro cash flows that can be used to fund debt payments. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we had amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilities of ~~€233.4~~€251.4 million, ~~£90.2~~£63.3 million, and CAD $130.4 million.

We are also exposed to market risk related to price fluctuations in scrap metal and other metals. Market prices of these metals affect the amount that we pay for our inventory as well as the revenue that we generate from sales of these metals. As both our revenue and costs are affected by the price fluctuations, we have a natural hedge against the changes. However, there is typically a lag between the effect on our revenue from metal price fluctuations and inventory cost changes. Therefore, we can experience positive or negative gross margin effects in periods of rising or falling metals prices, particularly when such prices move rapidly. If market prices were to fall at a greater rate than our vehicle acquisition costs, we could experience a decline in gross margin. Scrap metal and other metal prices ~~declined 25% sequentially~~stabilized in the ~~first~~second quarter of ~~2015, which had a negative effect on our revenue and margins. This trend will continue until inventory costs decrease by an amount commensurate with~~2015; however, scrap prices have decreased 25% since the ~~decline~~fourth quarter of ~~scrap metal and other metal prices.~~2014. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, we held short-term metals forward contracts to mitigate a portion of our exposure to fluctuations in metals prices specifically related to our precious metals refining and reclamation business. The notional amount and fair value of these forward contracts at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 were immaterial.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of LKQ Corporation's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been recorded, processed, summarized and reported as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock. Please refer to our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015, as supplemented in subsequent filings, for information concerning the risks and uncertainties that could negatively impact us. The following represents changes and/or additions to the risks and uncertainties previously disclosed in such reports.

We face intense competition from local, national, international, and internet-based vehicle products providers, and this competition could negatively affect our business.

The vehicle replacement products industry is highly competitive and is served by numerous suppliers of OEM, recycled, aftermarket, refurbished and remanufactured products. Within each of these categories of suppliers, there are local owner-operated companies, larger regional suppliers, national and international providers, and internet-based suppliers. Providers of vehicle replacement products that have traditionally sold only certain categories of such products may decide to expand their product offerings into other categories of vehicle replacement products, which may further increase competition. Some of our current and potential competitors may have more operational expertise; greater financial, technical, manufacturing, distribution, and other resources; longer operating histories; lower cost structures; and better relationships in the insurance and vehicle repair industries or with consumers, than we do. In certain regions of the U.S., local vehicle recycling companies have formed cooperative efforts to compete in the wholesale recycled products industry. Similarly in Europe, some local companies are part of cooperative efforts to compete in the aftermarket parts industry. As a result of these factors, our competitors may be able to provide products that we are unable to supply, provide their products at lower costs, or supply products to customers that we are unable to serve.

We believe that a majority of collision parts by dollar amount are supplied by OEMs, with the balance being supplied by distributors like us. The OEMs are therefore in a position to exert pricing pressure in the marketplace. We compete with the OEMs primarily on price and to a lesser extent on service and quality. From time to time, OEMs have experimented with reducing prices on specific products to match the lower prices of alternative products and with other initiatives that may disrupt our sales. If such price reductions and other initiatives were to become widespread, it could have a material adverse impact on our business.

Development problems with and business interruptions to our distribution centers or other facilities may affect our operations and/or the availability and distribution of merchandise, which may negatively affect our business.

We develop complex distribution systems that rely on automation and related software. The development of our warehouses and distribution systems may not occur as expected, may cost more than planned, and may take longer to implement than expected, any of which could adversely affect our business.

Destructive weather, terrorist activities, war, systems malfunctions, hacking or similar attempts to interfere with the operations of our systems, or other disasters or adverse occurrences may result in the closure of our distribution centers or other facilities or may adversely affect our ability to deliver inventory through our system on a timely basis. This may affect our ability to timely provide products to our customers, resulting in lost sales or a potential loss of customer loyalty. Some of our merchandise is imported from other countries and these goods could become difficult or impossible to bring into the United States or into the other countries in which we operate, and we may not be able to obtain such merchandise from other sources at similar prices. Such a disruption in revenue could potentially have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
