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.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on February 25, 2022 ("2021 Form 10-K").

In the current year, we changed the presentation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from thousands to millions and, as a result, any necessary rounding adjustments have been made to prior year disclosed amounts.

Note 2. Financial Statement Information

Allowance for Credit Losses

Receivables, net are reported net of an allowance for credit losses. Management evaluates the aging of customer receivable balances, the financial condition of our customers, historical trends, and macroeconomic factors to estimate the amount of customer receivables that may not be collected in the future and records a provision it believes is appropriate. Our reserve for expected credit losses was $58$56 million and $53 million as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The provision for credit losses was $8$1 million and $2 million for both the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021 and $9 million and $4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Net Assets Held for SaleDivestitures

In March 2022, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell PGW Auto Glass (“PGW”), our aftermarket glass business within our Wholesale - North America segment. In connection with entering into this agreement, we concluded that this disposal group met the held for sale criteria and classified PGW's assets and liabilities as held for sale.segment, to a third party. The sale was completed in April 2022 for $361 million resulting in recognition of a sales price of $362$155 million subject to customary post-closing purchase price adjustments.pretax gain ($127 million after tax).

Intangible Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually. We performed our annual impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2021, and determined no impairment existed as all of our reporting units had a fair value estimate which exceeded the carrying value by at least 70%. The fair value estimates of our reporting units were established using weightings of the results of a discounted cash flow methodology and a comparative market multiples approach. Goodwill impairment testing may also be performed on an interim basis when events or circumstances arise that may lead to impairment. We did not identify any indicators of impairment in the first quartersix months of 2022 that necessitated an interim test of goodwill impairment or indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment.

Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries

We account for our Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting, as our investments give us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee.

The carrying value of our Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries were as follows (in millions):

Warranty Reserve

Some of our salvage mechanical products are sold with a standard six month warranty against defects. Additionally, some of the remanufactured engines are sold with a standard three or four year warranty against defects. We also provide a limited lifetime warranty for certain of our aftermarket products. These assurance-type warranties are not considered a separate performance obligation, and thus no transaction price is allocated to them. We record warranty costs in Cost of goods sold in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Our warranty reserve is calculated using historical claim information to project future warranty claims activity and is recorded within Other accrued expenses and Other noncurrent liabilities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the expected timing of the related payments. The changes in the warranty reserve are as follows (in millions):

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.

Stockholders' Equity

Treasury Stock

As of March 31, 2022, ourOur Board of Directors had authorized a stock repurchase program under which we are able to purchase up to $2,000 million of our common stock from time to time through October 25, 2024. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, with the amount and timing of repurchases depending on market conditions and corporate needs. The repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchased shares are accounted for as treasury stock using the cost method. On May 10, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a $500 million increase to our existing stock repurchase program, raising the aggregate program authorization to $2,500 million as of June 30, 2022.

During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, we repurchased 2.78.1 million and 10.8 million shares of common stock, respectively, for an aggregate price of $144 million.$404 million and $548 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, we repurchased 1.56.2 million and 7.7 million shares of common stock, respectively, for an aggregate price of $57 million.$304 million and $361 million, respectively. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, there was $510$606 million of remaining capacity under our repurchase program.

Noncontrolling Interest

We present redeemable noncontrolling interest on our balance sheet related to redeemable shares issued to a minority shareholder in conjunction with a previous acquisition. The redeemable shares contain (i) a put option for all noncontrolling interest shares at a fixed price of $24 million (€21 million) for the minority shareholder exercisable in the fourth quarter of 2023, (ii) a call option for all noncontrolling interest shares at a fixed price of $26 million (€23 million) for us exercisable beginning in the first quarter of 2026 through the end of the fourth quarter of 2027, and (iii) a guaranteed dividend to be paid quarterly to the minority shareholder through the fourth quarter of 2023. The redeemable shares do not provide the minority shareholder with rights to participate in the profits and losses of the subsidiary prior to the exercise date of the put option. As the put option is outside our control, we recorded a $24 million Redeemable noncontrolling interest at the put option's redemption value outside of permanent equity on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 3. Revenue Recognition

The majority of our revenue is derived from the sale of vehicle parts. We recognize revenue for the sale of products at the point in time when the performance obligation has been satisfied and control has transferred to the customer, which generally occurs upon shipment or delivery to a customer based on terms of the sale.

Sources of Revenue

We report our revenue in two categories: (i) parts and services and (ii) other. The following table sets forth our revenue by category, disaggregated by reportable segment (in millions):

Parts and Services

Parts revenue is generated from the sale of vehicle products including replacement parts, components and systems used in the repair and maintenance of vehicles and specialty products and accessories to improve the performance, functionality and appearance of vehicles. Services revenue includes (i) additional services that are generally billed concurrently with the related product sales, such as the sale of service-type warranties, (ii) fees for admission to our self service yards, and (iii) diagnostic and repair services.

For Wholesale - North America and Self Service, vehicle replacement products include sheet metal collision parts such as doors, hoods, and fenders; bumper covers; head and tail lamps; automotive glass products such as windshields; mirrors; grilles; wheels; and large mechanical items such as engines and transmissions. For Europe, vehicle replacement products include a wide variety of small mechanical products such as brake pads, discs and sensors; clutches; electrical products such as spark plugs and batteries; steering and suspension products; filters; and oil and automotive fluids. For our Specialty operations, we serve seven product segments: truck and off-road; speed and performance; recreational vehicles; towing; wheels, tires and performance handling; marine; and miscellaneous accessories.

Our service-type warranties typically have service periods ranging from 6 months to 36 months. Proceeds from these service-type warranties are deferred at contract inception and amortized on a straight-line basis to revenue over the contract period. The changes in deferred service-type warranty revenue are as follows (in millions):
Service-Type Warranties
Balance as of January 1, 2022$32 
Additional warranty revenue deferred1128 
Warranty revenue recognized(13)(28)
Balance as of March 31,June 30, 2022$3032 

Other Revenue

Revenue from other sources include sales of scrap and precious metals (platinum, palladium, and rhodium), bulk sales to mechanical manufacturers (including cores) and sales of aluminum ingots and sows from furnace operations. We derive scrap metal and other precious metals from several sources in both our Wholesale - North America and Self Service segments, including vehicles that have been used in our recycling operations and vehicles from original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and other entities that contract with us for secure disposal of "crush only" vehicles. Revenue from the sale of hulks in our Wholesale - North America and Self Service segments is recognized based on a price per ton of delivered material when the customer (processor) collects the scrap.

Revenue by Geographic Area

See Note 13, "Segment and Geographic Information" for information related to our revenue by geographic region.

Variable Consideration

The amount of revenue ultimately received from the customer can vary due to variable consideration including returns, discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, or other similar items. We utilize the “expected value method” or the “most likely amount” method in order to estimate variable consideration, depending on the type of variable consideration, with contemplation of any expected reversals in revenue. We recorded a refund liability and return asset for expected returns of $106$108 million and $57$58 million,, respectively, as of March 31,June 30, 2022, and $107 million and $58 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2021. The refund liability is presented separately on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within current liabilities while the return asset is presented within Prepaid expenses and other current assets. Other types of variable consideration consist primarily of discounts, volume rebates, and other customer sales incentives that are recorded in Receivables, net on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded a reserve for our variable consideration of $93$110 million and $144 million as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Note 4. Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses

Global Restructuring Programs

In 2019, we commenced a cost reduction initiative, covering all of our reportable segments, designed to eliminate underperforming assets and cost inefficiencies. This program was expanded in 2020 as we identified additional opportunities to eliminate inefficiencies, including actions in response to impacts to the business from COVID-19. We have incurred and expect to incur costs for inventory write-downs; employee severance and other expenditures related to employee terminations; lease exit costs, such as lease termination fees, accelerated amortization of operating lease assets and impairment of operating lease assets; other costs related to facility exits, such as moving expenses to relocate inventory and equipment; and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets to be disposed of earlier than the end of the previously estimated useful lives.

During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, we did not incur a significant amount of restructuring expenses under these programs. During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, we recognized net restructuring expenses totaling $3$4 million and $7 million, respectively, which included employee-related costs, facility exit costs, and a $3 million gain in the first quarter from the sale of a building to be closed. Of the cumulative program costs incurred to date, $58$59 million, $43 million, $2 million and $2 million related to our Europe, Wholesale - North America, Specialty and Self Service segments, respectively. The actions under the 2019 Global Restructuring Program are substantially complete and the 2020 Global Restructuring Program areis expected to be completed in 2023. We estimate total costs under the programs through their expected completion dates will be between $105$108 million and $115 million, of which approximately $63 million, $44 million, $2 million and $2 million will be incurred by our Europe, Wholesale - North America, Specialty and Self Service segments, respectively; these segment amounts represent the approximate midpoints of the expected ranges of costs to be incurred by each segment.

As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, restructuring liabilities incurred related to these programs totaled $12$11 million and $14 million, respectively, including $8$7 million and $9 million, respectively, related to leases we have exited or expect to exit prior to the end of the lease term (reported in Current portion of operating lease liabilities and Long-term operating lease liabilities, excluding current portion on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets). Our lease-related restructuring liabilities are estimated based on remaining rent payments after our actual exit date for facilities closed as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and after our planned exit date for facilities we expect to close in future periods; these liabilities do not reflect any estimated proceeds we may be able to achieve through subleasing the facilities.

Acquisition Integration Plans

We did not incur a significant amountincurred $2 million of restructuring expenses for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. These expenses were primarily related to the integration of acquisitions completed in our acquisition integration plans for either of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 or March 31, 2021.Europe segment. We expect to incur future expenses of up to $5 million to complete an integration plan related to 2021 acquisitions completed in our Specialty segment during 2021.segment.

12During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we did not incur a significant amount of restructuring expenses for our acquisition integration plans.


1 LKQ Europe Program

In 2019, we announced a multi-year program called "1 LKQ Europe" which is intended to create structural centralization and standardization of key functions to facilitate the operation of the Europe segment as a single business. Under the 1 LKQ Europe program, we are reorganizing our non-customer-facing teams and support systems through various projects including the implementation of a common ERP platform, rationalization of our product portfolio, and creation of a Europe headquarters office and central back office. We completed the organizational design and implementation projects in June 2021, with the remaining projects scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024.

During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, we did not incur a significant amount of expenses under our 1 LKQ Europe program. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, we recognizedincurred $5 million of employee-related restructuring charges. We did not incur a significant amount of expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021. We estimate that we will incur between $40 million and $50 million in total personnel and inventory-related restructuring charges through 2024 under the program. We may identify additional initiatives and projects under the 1 LKQ Europe program in future periods that may result in additional restructuring expense, although we are currently unable to estimate the range of charges for such potential future initiatives and projects. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, the restructuring liabilities related to this program were insignificant.

13


Transaction Related Expenses

During the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, we incurred $3$1 million and $4 million of transaction related expenses.expenses, respectively. These expenses included external costs such as legal, accounting and advisory fees related to completed and potential transactions.

Note 5. Stock-Based Compensation

In order to attract and retain employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and other persons associated with the Company, we grant equity-based awards under the LKQ Corporation 1998 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”). We have granted restricted stock units ("RSUs"), stock options, and restricted stock under the Equity Incentive Plan. We expect to issue new or treasury shares of common stock to cover past and future equity grants.

RSUs

The RSUs we have issued vest over periods of up to five years, subject to a continued service condition. Currently outstanding RSUs (other than PSUs, which are described below) contain either a time-based vesting condition or a combination of a performance-based vesting condition and a time-based vesting condition, in which case both conditions must be met before any RSUs vest. For all of the RSUs containing a performance-based vesting condition, we must report positive diluted earnings per share, subject to certain adjustments, during any fiscal year period within five years following the grant date. Each RSU converts into one share of LKQ common stock on the applicable vesting date. The grant date fair value of RSUs is based on the market price of LKQ stock on the grant date.

Starting with our 2019 grants, participants who are eligible for retirement (defined as a voluntary separation of service from the Company after the participant has attained at least 60 years of age and completed at least five years of service) will continue to vest in their awards following retirement; if retirement occurs during the first year of the vesting period (for RSUs subject to a time-based vesting condition) or the first year of the performance period (for RSUs with a performance-based vesting condition), the participant vests in a prorated amount of the RSU grant based on the portion of the year employed. For our RSU grants prior to 2019, participants forfeit their unvested shares upon retirement.

Outstanding unvested RSUs earn dividend equivalents at the same rate as dividends on LKQ's common stock. The dividend equivalents are subject to the same vesting requirements, restrictions and forfeiture provisions as the original award.

The fair value of RSUs that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $18 million; the fair value of RSUs vested is based on the market price of LKQ stock on the date vested.

(2)    The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 was $38.52.$39.02.

Starting in 2019, we granted performance-based three-year RSUs ("PSUs") to certain employees, including executive officers, under our Equity Incentive Plan. As these awards are performance-based, the exact number of shares to be paid out may be up to twice the grant amount, depending on our performance and the achievement of certain performance metrics (adjusted earnings per share, average organic parts and services revenue growth, and average return on invested capital) over the applicable three-year performance periods.

Outstanding unvested PSUs earn dividend equivalents at the same rate as dividends on LKQ's common stock. The dividend equivalents are subject to the same vesting requirements, restrictions and forfeiture provisions as the original award.

The fair value of PSUsRSUs that vested during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 was $8 million;$21 million; the fair value of PSUsRSUs vested is based on the market price of LKQ stock on the date vested.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense

Pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for RSUs and PSUs totaled $13$10 million and $8$23 million for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, respectively, and $9 million and $17 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and PSUs was $66 million.$58 million. Stock-based compensation expense related to these awards will be different to the extent that forfeitures are realized and performance under the PSUs differs from current achievement estimates.

During each of the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2021, net unrealized losses on interest rate swaps totaling $1 million were recorded to Interest expense, net of interest income in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net unrealized gains on cross currency swaps totaling $2 million were recorded to Other income, net in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; these amounts offset the impact of the remeasurement of the underlying transactions.

Net unrealized losses and gains related to our pension plans were recorded to Other income, net in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during each of the three-monththree and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement

On November 23, 2021, LKQ Corporation and certain other subsidiaries of LKQ (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into Amendment No. 6 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated January 29, 2016 (the "Credit Agreement"), which modified certain interest rates to provide that (1) Loans denominated in euros shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Euro Interbank Offered Rate as administered by the European Money Markets Institute (or a comparable or successor administrator approved by the Administrative Agent) plus the Applicable Rate, (2) Swingline Loans denominated in poundpounds sterling shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Sterling Overnight Index Average as administered by the Bank of England (or any successor administrator of the Sterling Overnight Index Average) (“SONIA”) plus the Applicable Rate, (3)
16


Revolving Loans denominated in poundpounds sterling shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SONIA plus an adjustment equal to 0.0326% per annum plus the Applicable Rate, and (4) Loans denominated in Swiss francs shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Swiss Average Rate Overnight as administered by SIX Swiss Exchange AG (or any successor administrator of the Swiss Average Rate Overnight) plus the Applicable Rate. All other interest rates remain the same.

On April 18, 2022, S&P Global Ratings assigned LKQ an issuer credit rating of 'BBB-' with a stable outlook. This rating upgrade triggered the banks in our credit facility to release all collateral required under the Credit Agreement and suspend all collateral requirements.

The total capacity under the revolving credit facility's multicurrency component is $3,150 million. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due and payable upon maturity of the Credit Agreement on January 29, 2024.

We also had the option to prepay outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement without penalty. We were required to prepay the term loan by amounts equal to proceeds from the sale or disposition of certain assets if the proceeds were not reinvested within twelve months. During the second quarter of 2021, we exercised our option to prepay the outstanding amount on the term loan, and thus did not have any term loan borrowings as of March 31,June 30, 2022.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and 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.

On April 18, 2022, S&P Global Ratings assigned LKQ an issuer credit rating of 'BBB-' with a stable outlook. This rating upgrade triggered the banks in our credit facility to release all collateral required under the Credit Agreement and suspend all collateral requirements.

17


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 the 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. The weighted average interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were 1.2% and 1.1%, 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, and a fronting fee of 0.125% to the issuing bank, which are due quarterly in arrears.

The total capacity under the revolving credit facility's multicurrency component is $3,150 million. Of the total borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, there werewere no current maturities as of March 31,June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, there were letters of credit outstanding in the aggregate amount of $69 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, 2022 was $1,2681,587 million.

Euro Notes (2024)

On April 14, 2016, LKQ Italia Bondco S.p.A.

The proceeds from the offering were used to repay a portion of the revolver borrowings under the Credit Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses. The Euro Notes (2024) are governed by the Indenture dated as of April 14, 2016 (the "Euro Notes (2024) Indenture") among LKQ Italia, LKQ Corporation and certain of our subsidiaries (the "Euro Notes (2024) Subsidiaries"), the trustee, and the paying agent, transfer agent, and registrar.

The Euro Notes (2024) bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per year from the date of original issuance or from the most recent payment date on which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest on the Euro Notes (2024) is payable in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Euro Notes (2024) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by LKQ Corporation and the Euro Notes (2024) Subsidiaries (the "Euro Notes (2024) Guarantors").

The Euro Notes (2024) and the related guarantees are, respectively, LKQ Italia's and each Euro Notes (2024) Guarantor's senior unsecured obligations and are subordinated to all of LKQ Italia's and the Euro Notes (2024) Guarantors' existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured debt. In addition, the Euro Notes (2024) are effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the Euro Notes (2024) to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries.

On May 31, 2022, Moody's Investors Services upgraded the rating on LKQ Italia's senior unsecured notes to Baa3 with a stable outlook. This rating upgrade, combined with the upgrade to BBB- by S&P Global Ratings in April 2022, triggered a Covenant Suspension Event, and LKQ and its subsidiaries will no longer be required to comply with certain restrictive covenants.

Euro Notes (2026/2028)

On April 9, 2018, LKQ European Holdings B.V. ("LKQ Euro Holdings"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of LKQ Corporation, completed an offering of €1,000 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The offering consisted of €750 million senior notes due 2026 (the "Euro Notes (2026)") and €250 million senior notes due 2028 (the "Euro Notes (2028)" and, together with the Euro Notes (2026), the "Euro Notes (2026/28)") in a private placement conducted pursuant to Regulation S and Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933.

The total redemption payment was $915 million (€777 million), including an early redemption premium of $16 million (€14 million) and accrued and unpaid interest of $16 million (€14 million). In the second quarter of 2021, we recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $24 million related to the redemption due to the early-redemption premium and the write-off of the unamortized debt issuance costs.

The Euro Notes (2028) bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per year from the date of original issuance or from the most recent payment date on which interest has been paid or provided for.

Our senior secured credit agreement and our senior notes indentures contain limitations on payment of cash dividends or other distributions of assets. Delaware law also imposes restrictions on dividend payments. These restrictions did not impact the payment of our dividend declared in February 2022 and paid in March 2022 and are not expected to impact future dividend payments.

Note 9. 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 may use derivatives to manage our exposure to variable interest rates on our senior secured debt and changing foreign exchange rates for certain foreign currency denominated transactions. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges

Through June 30, 2021, we held interest rate swap agreements 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 paid the fixed interest rate and received payment at a variable rate of interest based on LIBOR for the respective currency of each interest rate swap agreement’s notional amount. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and were reclassified to Interest expense, net of interest income when the underlying interest payment impacted earnings.

We held cross currency swaps, in the beginning of 2021, which contained an interest rate swap component and a foreign currency forward contract component that, combined with related intercompany financing arrangements, effectively convertconverted variable rate U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings into fixed rate euro-denominated borrowings. The swaps were intended to minimize the impact of fluctuating exchange ratesinterest rate swap agreements and interest rates on the cash flows resulting from the related intercompany financing arrangements. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments were recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and were reclassified to Interest expense, net of interest income and Other income, net when the underlying transactions had an impact on earnings. We had no outstanding cross currency swaps were settled as of March 31, 2022.

From time to time, we may hold foreign currency forward contracts related to certain foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions, with the objectiveJune 2021 and no cash flow hedges remained outstanding as of minimizing the impact of fluctuating exchange rates on these future cash flows. 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. Changes in the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts where we apply hedge accounting are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified to Other (income) expense, net when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings.

As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we held no cash flow hedges. respectively.

The activity related to our previously matured cash flow hedges is included in Note 7, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)."

The activity related to our cash flow hedges is and presented in either operating activities or financing activities in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Other Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedges

To manage our foreign currency exposure on non-functional currency denominated borrowings, we entered into short-term foreign currency forward contracts in 2021. As of March 31, 2022, we held no foreign currency forward contracts related to non-functional currency denominated borrowings.

We elected not to apply hedge accounting for these transactions, and therefore the contracts were adjusted to fair value through our results of operations as of each balance sheet date. The fair values of these short-term derivative instruments were recorded in either Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Other accrued expenses on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We hold other short-term derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts, to manage our exposure to variability in the cash flows related to inventory purchases denominated in a non-functional currency. We have elected not to apply hedge accounting for these transactions. The notional amount and fair value of these contracts at March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021,, along with the effect on our results of operations during the three and six months ended March 31, June 30, 2022 and 2021, were immaterial.not material.

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

We use the market and income approaches to estimate the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, and during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, 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 are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as significant unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following tables present information about our financial 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in millions):

Liabilities:
Contingent consideration liabilities$18 $— $— $18 
Deferred compensation liabilities89 — 89 — 
Total Liabilities$107 $— $89 $18 

The current portion of contingent consideration liabilities is included in Other current liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; deferred compensation liabilities and the noncurrent portion of deferred compensation liabilities and contingent consideration liabilities isare included in Other noncurrent liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the expected timing of the related payments.

Our Level 2 liabilities are valued using inputs from third parties and market observable data. We obtain valuation data for the deferred compensation liabilities from third party sources, which use quoted market prices, investment allocations and reportable trades.

Our contingent consideration liabilities are related to our business acquisitions. 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.

We also have equity investments recorded in Other noncurrent assets that are reported at fair value. We have used net asset value as a practical expedient to value these equity investments and thus they are excluded from the fair value hierarchy disclosure.

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 both March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the credit agreement borrowings reasonably approximated the carrying values of $1,813$1,494 million and $1,887 million, respectively. As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair values of the Euro Notes (2024) were approximately $573$527 million and $605 million, respectively, compared to carrying values of $553$524 million and $569 million, respectively. As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair values of the Euro Notes (2028) were $287$251 million and $301 million, respectively, compared to carrying values of $277$262 million and $284 million, respectively.
20


The fair value measurements of the borrowings under the 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 to assume these obligations. The fair values of the Euro Notes (2024) and Euro Notes (2028) are determined based upon observable market inputs including quoted market prices in markets that are not active, and therefore are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Note 11. Employee Benefit Plans

We have funded and unfunded defined benefit plans covering certain employee groups in the U.S. and various European countries. Local statutory requirements govern many of our European plans. The defined benefit plans are mostly closed to new participants and, in some cases, existing participants no longer accrue benefits.

As of March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate funded status of the defined benefit plans was a liability of $125$119 million and $131 million, respectively, and is reported in Other noncurrent liabilities and Accrued payroll-related liabilities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Net periodic benefit cost for our defined benefit plans totaled $2 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $1 million and $3 million for each of the three-month periodsthree and six months ended March 31, 2022 andJune 30, 2021, respectively, and primarily related to service cost which is recorded toin Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 12. 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 threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 was 25.0%24.1%, compared to 26.3% for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021. The lower estimated annualdecrease in the effective tax rate for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 compared to the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 iswas attributable to net favorable discrete items of 1.2%, primarily attributablerelated to the sale of PGW, and the geographic distribution of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the effective tax rate was partially decreased by net favorable discrete items including excess tax benefits from stock-based payments partially offset by the revaluation of deferred tax balances in connection with an enacted rate change. Net discrete items for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2021 reducedincreased the effective tax rate by 0.2%0.1%, primarily due to excess tax benefits on stock-based payments. Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a $4 million benefit related to the reassessment of a previously recorded valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset. This item was recorded to Net income from discontinued operations.adjustment required as a result of a United Kingdom staged tax rate increase that will become effective April 1, 2023.

Note 13. Segment and Geographic Information

We have 4 operating segments: Wholesale - North America, Europe, Specialty and Self Service, each of which is presented as a reportable segment. Beginning in 2022, the Wholesale - North America and Self Service operating segment results were separated from the previous reportable segment, North America, and each of Wholesale - North America and Self Service is now a separate reportable segment. Segment results have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect this change.

The segments are organized based on a combination of geographic areas served and type of product lines offered. The segments are managed separately as the businesses serve different customers and are affected by different economic conditions. Wholesale - North America and Self Service have similar economic characteristics and have common products and services, customers and methods of distribution. We are reporting these operating segments separately to provide greater transparency to investors.

The key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, is Segment EBITDA. We use Segment EBITDA to compare profitability among the segments and evaluate business strategies. Segment EBITDA includes revenue and expenses that are controllable by the segment. Corporate general and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, with shared expenses apportioned based on the segment's percentage of consolidated revenue. We calculate Segment EBITDA as EBITDA excluding restructuring and transaction related expenses (which includes restructuring expenses recorded in Cost of goods sold); change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments, or divestitures; equity in losses and earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries; equity investment fair value adjustments; impairment charges; and direct impacts of the Ukraine/Russia conflict and related sanctions (including provisions for and subsequent adjustments to reserves for asset recoverability and expenditures to support our employees and their families). EBITDA, which is the basis for Segment EBITDA, is calculated as net income excluding discontinued operations, depreciation, amortization, interest (which includes gains and losses on debt extinguishment) and income tax expense.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements and information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of such Act.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our outlook, guidance, expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions and strategies. Words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “if,” “estimate,” “intend,” “project” and similar words or expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different. All forward-looking statements are based on information available to us at the time the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Actual events or results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. The risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted or implied by our forward-looking statements include factors discussed in our filings with the SEC, including those disclosed under the captions “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2021 Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (including this Quarterly Report).

Overview

We are a global distributor of vehicle products, including replacement parts, components and systems used in the repair and maintenance of vehicles, and specialty products and accessories to improve the performance, functionality and appearance of vehicles.

Buyers of vehicle replacement products have the option to purchase from primarily five sources: new products produced by OEMs; new products produced by companies other than the OEMs, which are referred to as aftermarket products; recycled products obtained from salvage and total loss vehicles; recycled products that have been refurbished; and recycled 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 and transmissions. Collectively, we refer to the four sources that are not new OEM products as alternative parts.

We are a leading provider of alternative vehicle collision replacement products and 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 Germany, the United Kingdom, the Benelux region (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg), Italy, Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Poland, and various other European countries. In addition to our wholesale operations, we operate self service retail facilities across the U.S. that sell recycled automotive products from end-of-life-vehicles. We are also a leading distributor of specialty vehicle aftermarket equipment and accessories reaching most major markets in the U.S. and Canada.

We are organized into four operating segments: Wholesale - North America; Europe; Specialty; and Self Service, each of which is presented as a reportable segment. Beginning in 2022, the Wholesale - North America and Self Service operating segment results were separated from the previous reportable segment, North America, and each of Wholesale - North America and Self Service is now a separate reportable segment. Segment results have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect this change.

Our 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 referred to 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.
26


Acquisitions and Investments

Since our inception in 1998, we have pursued a growth strategy through both organic growth and acquisitions. Through 2018, our acquisition strategy was focused on consolidation to build scale in fragmented markets across North America and Europe. We targeted companies that were market leaders, expanded our geographic presence and enhanced our ability to provide a wide array of vehicle products through our distribution network. In the last few years, we have shifted our focus from larger transactions to tuck-in acquisitions that target high synergies and/or add critical capabilities. Additionally, we have made investments in various businesses to advance our strategic objectives. See "Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries" in Note 2, "Financial Statement Information," to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information related to our investments.

Sources of Revenue

We report our revenue in two categories: (i) parts and services and (ii) other. Our parts revenue is generated from the sale of vehicle products, including replacement parts, components and systems used in the repair and maintenance of vehicles, and specialty products and accessories used to improve the performance, functionality and appearance of vehicles. Our service revenue is generated primarily from the sale of service-type warranties, fees for admission to our self service yards, and diagnostic and repair services. Revenue from other sources includes scrap and other metals (including precious metals - platinum, palladium and rhodium - contained in recycled parts such as catalytic converters) sales, bulk sales to mechanical manufacturers (including cores) and sales of aluminum ingots and sows from our furnace operations. Other revenue will vary from period to period based on fluctuations in commodity prices and the volume of materials sold. See Note 3, "Revenue Recognition" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information related to our sources of revenue.

Critical Accounting 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 GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our 2021 Form 10-K includes a summary of the critical accounting estimates we believe are the most important to aid in understanding our financial results. There have been no changes to those critical accounting estimates that have had a material impact on our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022.

Financial Information by Geographic Area

See Note 13, "Segment and Geographic Information" 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 revenue and long-lived assets by geographic region.

1 LKQ Europe Program

We have undertaken the 1 LKQ Europe program to create structural centralization and standardization of key functions to facilitate the operation of the Europe segment as a single business. Under this multi-year program, we expect to recognize the following:

Restructuring expenses — Non-recurring costs resulting directly from the implementation of the 1 LKQ Europe program from which the business will derive no ongoing benefit. See Note 4, "Restructuring and Transaction Related Expenses” to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further details.

Transformation expenses — Period costs incurred to execute the 1 LKQ Europe program that are expected to contribute to ongoing benefits to the business (e.g. non-capitalizable implementation costs related to a common ERP system). These expenses are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

Transformation capital expenditures — Capitalizable costs for long-lived assets, such as software and facilities, that directly relate to the execution of the 1 LKQ Europe program.

27


Costs related to the 1 LKQ Europe program incurred to date are reflected in Selling, general and administrative expenses, Restructuring and transaction related expenses and Purchases of property, plant and equipment in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We completed the organizational design and implementation projects in June 2021, with the remaining projects scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024. During the three and six months ended March 31, June 30, 2022 we incurred $6$8 million and $14 million, respectively, in costs across all three categories noted above. We expect that costs of the program, reflecting all three categories noted above, will range between $30$25 million and $50$45 million in 2022 with an additional $50$50 million to $70$70 million in 2023 and 2024 through the projected program completion date. In the future, we may also identify additional initiatives and projects under the 1 LKQ Europe program that may result in additional expenditures, although we are currently unable to estimate the range of charges for such potential future initiatives and projects. We expect the transformation and restructuring expenses will be entirely funded by trade working capital initiatives across our Europe segment.

Ukraine/Russia Conflict

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and resulting global governmental response have impacted, and are expected to continue to impact, our business in 2022. Governmental sanctions imposed on Russia have restricted our ability to sell to and collect from customers based in Russia, and Russian military activity in Ukrainian territory has temporarily changed the way in which we operate in Ukraine. Many of our branches in Ukraine have remained open, although operating at less than full capacity, during the conflict, while others have closed temporarily. As military operations shifted to the eastern part of the country, we were able to increase capacity in branches in the central and western territory, including our central warehouse in Kyiv. We expect to continue operating in this manner unless conditions change. While we do anticipate to experience somea negative impact from the consequences of this conflict, we do not expect it to have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. Our operations in Ukraine represent lessless than 1% of bothboth our total annual revenue and total annual operating profit and comprised approximately $40approximately $50 million of gross total assets as of March 31,June 30, 2022. In addition, LKQ revenue from customers in Russia represents less than 0.3% of our total revenue. As future developments in the conflict are difficult to project and outside of our control, it is possible that the estimates underlying our financials may change significantly in future periods.

Key Performance Indicators

We believe that organic revenue growth, Segment EBITDA and free cash flow are key performance indicators for our business. Segment EBITDA is our key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our chief operating decision maker. Free cash flow is a financial measure that is not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”).

Organic revenue growth - We define organic revenue growth as total revenue growth from continuing operations excluding the effects of acquisitions and divestitures (i.e., revenue generated from the date of acquisition to the first anniversary of that acquisition, net of reduced revenue due to the disposal of businesses) and foreign currency movements (i.e., impact of translating revenue at prior perioddifferent exchange rates). Organic revenue growth includes incremental sales from both existing and new (i.e., opened within the last twelve months) locations and is derived from expanding business with existing customers, securing new customers and offering additional products and services. We believe that organic revenue growth is a key performance indicator as this statistic measures our ability to serve and grow our customer base successfully.

Segment EBITDA - See Note 13, "Segment and Geographic Information" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of the calculation of Segment EBITDA. We believe that Segment EBITDA provides useful information to evaluate our segment profitability by focusing on the indicators of ongoing operational results.

Free Cash Flow - We calculate free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Free cash flow provides insight into our liquidity and provides useful information to management and investors concerning cash flow available to meet future debt service obligations and working capital requirements, to make strategic acquisitions, to repurchase stock, and to pay dividends.

These three key performance indicators are used as targets in determining incentive compensation at various levels of the organization, including senior management. By using these performance measures, we attempt to motivate a balanced approach to the business that rewards growth, profitability and cash flow generation in a manner that enhances our long-term prospects.

Provision for Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 23.4%, compared to 26.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021 was attributable to net favorable discrete items of 2.0%, primarily related to the sale of PGW, and the geographic distribution of income.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by$1 million primarily related to a Self Service investment.

Foreign Currency Impact

We translate our statements of income at the average exchange rates in effect for the period. Relative to the rates used during the three months ended June 30, 2021, the euro, pound sterling and Czech koruna rates used to translate the 2022 statements of income decreased by 12%, 10% and 8%, respectively. The negative translation effect of the change in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar combined with the negative impact of realized and unrealized currency gains and losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 resulted in a negative $0.03 effect on diluted earnings per share relative to the prior year period.

The growth in parts and services revenue of 1.4% represented increases in segment revenue of 13.9% in Self Service and 8.2% in Wholesale - North America, partially offset by decreases of 2.4% in Europe and 1.8% in Specialty. Organic parts and services revenue growth was 5.3%, which included a 0.5% positive effect from one additional selling day in the first half of 2022, resulting in per day organic growth of 4.8%. Additionally, there was a 4.2% negative effect on parts and services revenue from foreign exchange rates. The decrease in other revenue of 0.5% was primarily driven by a $2 million organic decrease, attributable to a $15 million decrease in our Self Service segment, partially offset by a $12 million increase in our Wholesale - North America segment.

Results of Operations—Segment Reporting

We have four reportable segments: Wholesale - North America, Europe, Specialty and Self Service.

We have presented the growth of our revenue 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, as this statistic removes the translation impact of exchange rate fluctuations, which are outside of our control and do not reflect our operational performance. Constant currency revenue and Segment EBITDA results are calculated by translating prior year revenue and Segment EBITDA in local currency using the current year's currency conversion rate. This non-GAAP financial 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 US GAAP. Our use of this term may vary from the use of similarly-titled measures by other issuers due to potential inconsistencies in the method of calculation and differences due to items subject to interpretation. In addition, not all companies that report revenue or profitability on a constant currency basis calculate such measures in the same manner as we do, and accordingly, our calculations are not necessarily comparable to similarly-named measures of other companies and may not be appropriate measures for performance relative to other companies.

The key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, is Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA includes revenue and expenses that are controllable by the segment. Corporate general and administrative expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, with shared expenses apportioned based on the segment's percentage of consolidated revenue. We calculate Segment EBITDA as EBITDA excluding restructuring and transaction related expenses (which includes restructuring expenses recorded in Cost of goods sold); change in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities; other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments, or divestitures; equity in losses and earnings of unconsolidated subsidiaries; equity investment fair value adjustments; impairment charges; and direct impacts of the Ukraine/Russia conflict and related sanctions (including provisions for and subsequent adjustments to reserves for asset recoverability and expenditures to support our employees and their families). EBITDA, which is the basis for Segment EBITDA, is calculated
32


as net income excluding discontinued operations, depreciation, amortization, interest (which includes gains and losses on debt extinguishment) and income tax expense. See Note 13, "Segment and Geographic Information" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of total Segment EBITDA to net income.

Segment EBITDA increased $24decreased $5 million, or 12.4%2.3%, in the first quarter ofthree months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. This increase is attributable to higher prices on parts and productivity initiatives helping to offset inflationary pressures related to ocean freight, labor, supplies and fuel. Decreases in precious metals prices contributedThe decrease includes a $4$12 million decline in Segment EBITDA related to the divestiture of PGW in the second quarter of 2022 and an $8 million decline due to lower precious metals prices relative to the first quarter of 2021.comparable prior year period. Additionally, net sequential increases in scrap steel prices in our salvage operations had an immateriala $1 million favorable impact on Segment EBITDA during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, compared to a $6$5 million favorable impact during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021. We estimate that precious metals and scrap steel pricing had an unfavorable effect of 0.9% on Segment EBITDA margin relative to the comparable prior year period. The unfavorable impacts were partially offset by higher prices on parts and productivity initiatives helping to offset inflationary pressures related to ocean freight, labor, supplies and fuel.

(2)The 5.0%4.8%, or $7$8 million, year over year organic decrease in other revenue is related to (i) a $15$22 million decrease in revenue from precious metals (platinum, palladium, and rhodium) mainly due to both lower prices, and volumes, partially offset by (ii) a $4$9 million increase in revenue from other scrap (including aluminum) and cores mainly due to higher prices and (iii) a $4$6 million increase in revenue from scrap steel primarily related to higher prices, partially offset by lower volumes.

Segment EBITDA

Segment EBITDA decreased $16$24 million, or 28.5%43.7%, in the first quarter ofthree months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. This decrease is primarily attributable to unfavorable movements in commodity prices compared to the prior year. Decreases in precious metals prices contributed an estimated $9$18 million decline in Segment EBITDA relative to the first quarter ofthree months ended June 30, 2021. Additionally, net sequential increases in scrap steel prices in our self service operations had a $2$3 million favorable impact on Segment EBITDA during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022, compared to a $15$5 million favorable impact during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021. This favorable impact for both periods resulted from the increase in scrap steel prices between the date we purchased a vehicle, which influences the price we pay for a vehicle, and the date we scrapped a vehicle, which influences the price we receive for scrapping a vehicle. We estimate that precious metals and scrap steel pricing had an unfavorable effect of 11.1%8.4% on Segment EBITDA margin relative to the comparable prior year period.

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, paying down outstanding debt, paying dividends or repurchasing our common stock. As we have pursued acquisitions as part of our historical 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 revolving credit facilities and senior notes.

As of March 31,June 30, 2022, we had debt outstanding and additional available sources of financing as follows:

Senior secured credit facilities maturing in January 2024, composed of $3,150 million in revolving credit ($1,8131,494 million outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2022), bearing interest at variable rates, with availability reduced by $69 million of amounts outstanding under letters of credit
Euro Notes (2024) totaling $553$524 million (€500 million), maturing in April 2024 and bearing interest at a 3.875% fixed rate
Euro Notes (2028) totaling $277$262 million (€250 million) maturing in April 2028 and bearing interest at a 4.125% fixed rate

As of March 31,June 30, 2022, we had approximately $1,2681,587 million available under our credit facilities. Combined with $327$265 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31,June 30, 2022, we had approximately $1,595$1,852 million in available liquidity, an increase of $127$384 million from our available liquidity as of December 31, 2021.

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. Our 2022 plan includes further spending to rebuild inventory levels, support growth driven capital projects, and complete strategic acquisitions.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021, we expanded our capital allocation strategy to includeacquisitions, and return stockholder value through the payment of dividends as an additional mechanism to return value toand repurchasing shares of our stockholders. common stock. A summary of the dividend activity for our common stock for the threesix months ended March 31, June 30, 2022 is as follows:

Dividend AmountDeclaration DateRecord DatePayment Date

On AprilJuly 26, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share of common stock, payable on June 2,September 1, 2022, to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 19,August 11, 2022.

We believe that our future cash flow generation will permit us to continue paying dividends in future periods; however, the timing, amount and frequency of such future dividends will be subject to approval by our Board of Directors, and based on considerations of capital availability, compliance with covenants in our credit facilities and senior note indentures, and various other factors, many of which are outside of our control.

With $1,595$1,852 million of total liquidity as of March 31,June 30, 2022 and $31$47 million of current maturities, we have access to funds to meet our near term commitments. We have a surplus of current assets over current liabilities, which further reduces the risk of short-term cash shortfalls. Furthermore, in April 2022, we received $362 million in gross proceeds related to the PGW sale, which increased our cash liquidity.

Our total liquidity includes availability under our senior secured credit facility, which includes the two financial maintenance covenants presented below (our required debt covenants and our actual ratios with respect to those covenants as calculated per the credit agreement as of March 31,June 30, 2022):
Covenant LevelRatio Achieved as of March 31,June 30, 2022
Maximum net leverage ratio4.00 : 1.001.31.2
Minimum interest coverage ratio3.00 : 1.0032.632.7

The terms net leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio used in the credit agreement are specifically calculated per the credit agreement and differ in specified ways from comparable US GAAP or common usage terms.

Our credit agreement contains customary covenants that impose 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. During the second quarter of 2022, two ratings agencies, S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investors Service, upgraded our issuer credit rating to an investment grade rating of 'BBB-' and 'Baa3', respectively, and rated our outlook as stable. With the assignment of an investment grade rating, we are no longer required to comply with certain restrictive covenants under the credit agreement. We were in compliance with all restrictiveapplicable covenants under our credit agreement as of March 31,June 30, 2022.

The indentures relating to our Euro Notes do not include financial maintenance covenants, and the indentures will not restrict our ability to draw funds on the credit facility. The indentures do not prohibit amendments to the financial covenants under the credit facility as needed.

In the long term, while we believe that we have adequate capacity under our existing credit facilities, from time to time we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements, such as (i)modification of our November 2018 amendment to our senior securedexisting credit facility and (ii) the issuance of the "Euro Notes (2026)" and the "Euro Notes (2028)" in April 2018 related to the Stahlgruber acquisition.facilities. 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.

Financial institutions participate in the supply chain financing initiative on an uncommitted basis and can cease purchasing receivables from our suppliers at any time. The initiative is at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institution on terms that are negotiated between them. In the future, if the financial institutions do not continue to purchase receivables from our suppliers under the initiative, the participating vendors may need to renegotiate their payment terms with us, which in turn could cause our borrowings under our revolving credit facility to increase.

As of June 30, 2022, we did not have any of these contracts outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our credit agreement was 1.7% at variable rates which are tied to various indices, dependingJune 30, 2022. Including our senior notes, our overall weighted average interest rate on the currency and the duration of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin rate that is subject to change quarterly based on our reported leverage ratio.borrowings was 2.5% at June 30, 2022. Our borrowings in U.S. dollars continue to accrue interest at LIBOR until a replacement rate is specified, which is expected to occur prior to June 2023. We do not expect the change in benchmark rates will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

We have held interest rate swaps to hedge the variable rates on a portion of our credit agreement borrowings, with the effect of fixing the interest rates on the respective notional amounts. In addition, from time to time, we hold currency swaps that contain an interest rate swap component and a foreign currency forward contract component that, when combined with related intercompany financing arrangements, effectively convert variable rate U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings into fixed rate euro-denominated borrowings. These derivative transactions are described in See Note 9, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," 8, "Long-Term Obligations" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of March 31, 2022, we did not have any of these contracts outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on

We had outstanding credit agreement borrowings of $1,813$1,494 million and $1,887 million at March 31,June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Of these amounts, there werewere no current maturities at March 31,June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021.

As of March 31,June 30, 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $327$265 million, of which $237$210 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. In general, it is our practice and intention to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. We believe that we have sufficient cash flow and liquidity to meet our financial obligations in the U.S. without repatriating our foreign earnings. We may, from time to time, choose to selectively repatriate foreign earnings if doing so supports our financing or liquidity objectives. Distributions of dividends from our foreign subsidiaries, if any, would be generally exempt from further U.S. taxation, either as a result of the 100% participation exemption under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or due to the previous taxation of foreign earnings under the transition tax and the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income regime.

The procurement of inventory is the largest operating use of our funds. We normally pay for aftermarket product purchases on standard payment terms or at the time of shipment, 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 aftermarket and manufactured inventory procurement for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in millions):

(1)Inventory purchases across the Wholesale - North America segment increased in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period primarily due to required restocking to keep up with the high demand for our products. Our inventory purchases did not reach our desired levels in the first three months of 2022 due to ocean freight driven delays in shipping.
(2)The increasedecrease in inventory purchases in our Europe segment included a decrease of $53$167 million attributable to the decrease in the value of the euro, and to a lesser extent, the pound sterling in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period. On a constant currency basis, inventory purchasesincreased compared to the prior year period, due to required restocking to keep up with the high demand for our products as well as purchases to improve availability for customers in certain regions.
(3)The increasedecrease in inventory purchases in the Specialty segment compared to the prior year period was primarily due to matching inventory levels with demand. This was partially offset by inventory purchases made by acquired companies. These companies were not acquired until the second half of 2021.

Receivables, net was a $32$25 million greater outflow in 2022 primarily due to an increase in theorganic revenue for the three months ended March 31,in 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, which translated to higher receivables balances and larger net outflows in the Wholesale - North America segment of $43 million and in the Europe segment of $32$35 million. We had a smaller cash outflow in the Specialty segment of $42$11 million compared to prior period due to lower revenue.
Inventories represented $85$266 million in incremental cash outflows in the first threesix months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021. The change is primarily attributable to increased inventory purchases in the current year as a result of strong demand and strategic inventory purchases to curb the impacts of supply chain constraints.

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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:
foreign exchange rates;
interest rates;
commodity prices; and
commodity prices.inflation.

Foreign Exchange Rates

Foreign currency fluctuations may 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 outside of the U.S. represented 47.7% and 49.4% of our revenue during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021, respectively. An increase or decrease in the strength of the U.S. dollar against these currencies by 10% would result in a 4.8% change in our consolidated revenue and a 2.9%2.6% change in our operating income for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022. See our Results of Operations discussion in Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates on our year over year results.

Additionally, we are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations with respect to the purchase of aftermarket products from foreign countries, primarily in Europe and Asia. To the extent that our inventory purchases are not denominated in the functional currency of the purchasing location, we are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations. In several of our operations, we purchase inventory from manufacturers in Taiwan in U.S. dollars, which exposes us to fluctuations in the relationship between the local functional currency and the U.S. dollar, as well as fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the Taiwan dollar. We hedge our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations related to a portion of inventory purchases in our Europe operations, but the notional amount and fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts at March 31,June 30, 2022 were immaterial. WeWe do not currently attempt to hedge foreign currency exposure related to our foreign currency denominated inventory purchases in our Wholesale - North America operations, and we may not be able to pass on any resulting price increases to our customers.

To the extent that we are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations related to non-functional currency denominated financing transactions, we may hedge the exposure through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, wewe did not hold foreignforeign currency forward contracts related to non-functional currency denominated debt.

47


Other than with respect to a portion of our foreign currency denominated inventory purchases and, from time to time, certain financing transactions, 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; however, our ability to use foreign currency denominated borrowings to finance our foreign operations may be limited based on local tax laws. We have elected not to hedge the foreign currency risk related to the interest payments on foreign third party borrowings as we generate cash flows in the local currencies that can be used to fund debt payments. As of March 31,June 30, 2022, we had
41


outstanding borrowings of €500 million under our Euro Notes (2024) and €250 million under our Euro Notes (2028), and €929 €797 million andand Swedish Krona ("SEK") 125100 million under ourour revolving credit facilities. As of December 31, 2021, we had outstanding borrowings of €500 million under our Euro Notes (2024) and €250 million under our Euro Notes (2028), and €940 million and SEK 145 million under our revolving credit facilities.

Interest Rates

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, Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, Euro interbank Offered Rate, SONIA, or Swiss Average Rate Overnight. 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 convertconverted a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt, matching the currency, effective dates and maturity dates to specific debt instruments. We designatedesignated our interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges, and net interest payments or receipts from interest rate swap contracts are included as adjustments to interest expense.

We had none ofof our variable rate debt under our credit facilities at fixed rates at March 31,June 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021. See Note 8, "Long-Term Obligations" and Note 9, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

At March 31,June 30, 2022, we had approximately $1,813$1,494 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 $18$15 million over the next twelve months.

Commodity Prices

We are exposed to market risk related to price fluctuations in scrap metal and other metals (including precious metals, such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, contained in some recycled parts, such as catalytic converters). Market prices of these metals affect the amount that we pay for our inventory and 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, and there is no guarantee that the vehicle costs will decrease or increase at the same rate as the metals prices. Therefore, we can experience positive or negative gross margin effects in periods of rising or falling metals prices, particularly when such prices move rapidly. Additionally, if market prices were to change at a greater rate than our vehicle acquisition costs, we could experience a positive or negative effect on our operating margin. The average of scrap metal prices for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 increased by4% 5% over the average for the fourthfirst quarter of 2021.2022. The average prices of rhodium, platinum,palladium, and palladiumplatinum decreased by 24%35%, 12%27% and 1%19%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022 over the average prices for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2021.

Inflation

We are exposed to market risks related to inflation in product, labor, shipping, freight and general overhead costs. In 2022, inflation has increased to rates beyond recent history, and we have experienced rising costs. We have adjusted our prices and are driving productivity initiatives to mitigate the inflationary effects. If these pressures continue or increase in severity, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs through price increases and productivity initiatives. Inflationary pressures in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue if the selling prices of our products do not increase with these increased costs, we cannot identify cost efficiencies, or the higher prices impact demand.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31,June 30, 2022, 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, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time subject to various claims and lawsuits incidental to our business. In the opinion of management, currently outstanding claims and suits will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. There have been no material changes to theThe legal proceeding below is an update from our legal proceedings previously disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K.

Please refer to our business2021 Form 10-K, and should be considered carefully.

Our operating results have been2022 filed with the SEC on May 4, 2022, for information concerning risks and will likely continue to be adversely affected by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting governmental sanctions imposed on Russia.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine and resulting global governmental response have impacted, and are expected to continue to impact, our business. Governmental sanctions imposed on Russia have restricted our ability to sell and collect from customers based in Russia, and Russian military activity in Ukrainian territory has changed the way in which we operate in Ukraine. Since the invasion, many of our 45 branches in Ukraine have remained open, although operating at less than full capacity due to supply chain and other issues, while other branches have temporarily ceased operating due to the invasion. We expect to continue operating in this manner; however, the extent and duration of the military action, resulting sanctions and future market disruptions in the region are difficult to predict. Moreover, the ongoing effects of the hostilities and sanctions may not be limited to Russia and Russian companies and mayuncertainties that could negatively impact other regional and global economic markets of the world, including Europe and the United States. The ongoing military action, along with the potential for a wider conflict, could further increase financial market volatility and cause negative effects on regional and global economic markets, industries, and companies, such as LKQ and our suppliers and customers.us.
