LKQ CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of LKQ Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries. LKQ Corporation is a holding company and all operations are conducted by subsidiaries. When the terms "LKQ," "the Company," "we," "us," or "our" are used in this document, those terms refer to LKQ Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applicable to interim financial statements. Accordingly, certain information related to our significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for any subsequent interim period or for a full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019 ("2018 Form 10-K").
 
Note 2. Business Combinations
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we completed five acquisitions, including one wholesale business and one self service business in North America, and three wholesale businesses in Europe. These acquisitions were not material to our results of operations or financial position as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Total acquisition date fair value of the consideration for our acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $48 million, composed of $17 million of cash paid (net of cash acquired), $5 million for the estimated value of contingent payments to former owners (with maximum payments totaling $7 million), $1 million of other purchase price obligations (non-interest bearing), $21 million of notes payable, and $4 million of pre-existing balances considered to be effectively settled as a result of the acquisitions. In addition, we assumed $8 million of existing debt as of the acquisition dates.
On May 30, 2018, we acquired Stahlgruber GmbH ("Stahlgruber"), a leading European wholesale distributor of aftermarket spare parts for passenger cars, tools, capital equipment and accessories with operations in Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia, with further sales to Switzerland. Total acquisition date fair value of the consideration for our Stahlgruber acquisition was €1.2 billion ($1.4 billion), composed of €1.0 billion ($1.1 billion) of cash paid (net of cash acquired), and €215 million ($251 million) of newly issued shares of LKQ common stock. We financed the acquisition with the proceeds from €1.0 billion ($1.2 billion) of senior notes, the direct issuance to Stahlgruber's owner of 8,055,569 newly issued shares of LKQ common stock, and borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility. We recorded $915 million ($908 million in 2018 and $7 million of adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2019) of goodwill related to our acquisition of Stahlgruber.
On May 3, 2018, the European Commission cleared the acquisition of Stahlgruber for the entire European Union, except with respect to the wholesale automotive parts business in the Czech Republic. The acquisition of Stahlgruber’s Czech Republic wholesale business was referred to the Czech Republic competition authority for review. On May 10, 2019, the Czech Republic competition authority approved our acquisition of Stahlgruber’s Czech Republic wholesale business subject to the requirement that we divest certain of the acquired locations. We acquired Stahlgruber’s Czech Republic wholesale business on May 29, 2019 and decided to divest all of the acquired locations. We immediately classified the business as discontinued operations because the business was never integrated into our Europe segment; see Note 3, "Discontinued Operations" for further information. The Czech Republic wholesale business represents an immaterial portion of Stahlgruber's revenue and profitability. There was no additional consideration beyond the previously remitted amounts for the Stahlgruber transaction required to complete the acquisition of the Czech Republic wholesale business.
In addition to our acquisition of Stahlgruber, during the year ended December 31, 2018, we completed acquisitions of four wholesale businesses in North America and nine wholesale businesses in Europe. Total acquisition date fair value of the consideration for these acquisitions was $99 million, composed of $85 million of cash paid (net of cash and restricted cash acquired), $11 million of notes payable, and $3 million for the estimated value of contingent payments to former owners (with maximum potential payments totaling $5 million). During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded $68 million of goodwill related to these acquisitions.

8



Our acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting and are included in our consolidated financial statements from the dates of acquisition. The purchase prices were allocated to the net assets acquired based upon estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions made during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the last six months of the year ended December 31, 2018 are preliminary as we are in the process of determining the following: 1) valuation amounts for certain receivables, inventories and fixed assets acquired; 2) valuation amounts for certain intangible assets acquired; 3) the acquisition date fair value of certain liabilities assumed; and 4) the tax basis of the entities acquired. We have recorded preliminary estimates for certain of the items noted above and will record adjustments, if any, to the preliminary amounts upon finalization of the valuations.
During the second quarter of 2019, the measurement period adjustments recorded for acquisitions completed in prior periods were not material. The income statement effect of these measurement period adjustments that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustments had been recognized as of the acquisition dates was immaterial.
The purchase price allocations for the acquisitions completed during the year ended December 31, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

(1)
The amounts recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018 include a $5 million adjustment to increase other intangibles related to our acquisition of Warn Industries, Inc. in 2017 and $4 million of adjustments to reduce other purchase price obligations related to other 2017 acquisitions.
(2)
The amount recorded for our acquisition of Stahlgruber includes a $79 million liability for certain pension obligations.
(3)
The amounts recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018 are due to the gains on bargain purchases related to (i) an acquisition in Europe completed in the second quarter of 2017 as a result of changes in the acquisition date fair value of the consideration, and (ii) three acquisitions in Europe completed during 2018 as a result of changes to our estimates of the fair values of the net assets acquired.

The fair value of our intangible assets is based on a number of inputs, including projections of future cash flows, discount rates, assumed royalty rates and customer attrition rates, all of which are Level 3 inputs. We used the relief-from-royalty method to value trade names, trademarks, software and other technology assets, and we used the multi-period excess earnings method to value customer relationships. The relief-from-royalty method assumes that the intangible asset has value to the extent that its owner is relieved of the obligation to pay royalties for the benefits received from the intangible asset. The multi-period excess earnings method is based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the customer relationship after deducting contributory asset charges. The fair value of our property, plant and equipment is determined using inputs such as market comparables and current replacement or reproduction costs of the asset, adjusted for physical, functional and economic factors; these adjustments to arrive at fair value use unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, and therefore, these inputs are considered to be Level 3 inputs. See Note 12, "Fair Value Measurements" for further information regarding the tiers in the fair value hierarchy.
The acquisition of Stahlgruber expanded LKQ's geographic presence in continental Europe and serves as an additional strategic hub for our European operations. In addition, the acquisition of Stahlgruber allows for continued improvement in procurement, logistics and infrastructure optimization. The primary objectives of our other acquisitions made during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018 were to create economic value for our stockholders by enhancing our position as a leading source for alternative collision and mechanical repair products and to expand into other product lines and businesses that may benefit from our operating strengths.
When we identify potential acquisitions, we attempt to target companies with a leading market presence, an experienced management team and workforce that provides a fit with our existing operations, and strong cash flows. For certain of our acquisitions, we have identified cost savings and synergies as a result of integrating the company with our existing business that provide additional value to the combined entity. In many cases, acquiring companies with these characteristics will result in purchase prices that include a significant amount of goodwill.
The following pro forma summary presents the effect of the businesses acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as though the businesses had been acquired as of January 1, 2018, and the businesses acquired during the year ended December 31, 2018 as though they had been acquired as of January 1, 2017. We have excluded the May 29, 2019 acquisition of the Czech Republic wholesale business as the business was never integrated into our Europe segment. The pro forma adjustments are based upon unaudited financial information of the acquired entities (in thousands, except per share data):

Unaudited pro forma supplemental information is based upon accounting estimates and judgments that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma supplemental information includes the effect of purchase accounting adjustments, such as the adjustment of inventory acquired to fair value, adjustments to depreciation on acquired property, plant and equipment, adjustments to rent expense for above or below market leases, adjustments to amortization on acquired intangible assets, adjustments to interest expense, and the related tax effects. The pro forma impact of our acquisitions also reflects the elimination of acquisition related expenses, net of tax. Refer to Note 6, "Restructuring and Acquisition Related Expenses," for further information regarding our acquisition related expenses. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred if the acquisitions had been in effect for the periods presented or of future results.

Note 3. Discontinued Operations
As described in Note 2, "Business Combinations," we classified the acquired Stahlgruber Czech Republic wholesale business as discontinued operations. We intend to divest the business within the next year, and thus, the net assets are reflected on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the lower of fair value less cost to sell or carrying value. As of June 30, 2019, the assets held for sale, liabilities held for sale, and noncontrolling interest are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets, Other current liabilities, and Noncontrolling interest, respectively, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of the acquisition date, we acquired $5 million of cash and assumed $6 million of existing debt.
Fair value was based on the estimated selling price, with factors including projected market multiples and any reasonable offers. Due to the uncertainties in the estimation process, it is possible that actual results could differ from the estimates used in the Company's analysis. The inputs utilized in the fair value estimate are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the net assets was measured on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2019.

We have a reserve for uncollectible accounts, which was approximately $52 million and $57 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

As of June 30, 2019, $61 million of inventory was included in assets held for sale. Refer to the "Net Assets Held for Sale" section for further information.
Aftermarket and refurbished products and salvage and remanufactured products are primarily composed of finished goods. As of June 30, 2019, manufactured products inventory was composed of $18 million of raw materials, $3 million of work in process, and $6 million of finished goods. As of December 31, 2018, manufactured products inventory was composed of $17 million of raw materials, $2 million of work in process, and $4 million of finished goods.
Net Assets Held for Sale
During the first half of 2019, we committed to plans to sell certain businesses in our North America and Europe segments. As a result, these businesses were classified as net assets held for sale and were required to be adjusted to the lower of fair value less cost to sell or carrying value, resulting in total impairment charges of $33 million and $49 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which were recorded within Impairment of net assets held for sale in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

11



Excluding the Stahlgruber Czech Republic wholesale business discussed in Note 3, "Discontinued Operations," as of June 30, 2019, there were $56 million of assets held for sale, including $5 million of goodwill that was reclassified as held for sale related to our Europe segment, and $17 million of liabilities held for sale, which are recorded within Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other current liabilities, respectively, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We expect these businesses to be disposed of during the next twelve months. The businesses do not meet the requirements to be considered discontinued operations. These businesses generated annualized revenue of approximately $165 million during the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2019.
We are required to record net assets of our held for sale businesses at the lower of fair value less cost to sell or carrying value. Fair values were based on projected discounted cash flows and/or estimated selling prices. Management's assumptions for our discounted cash flow analysis of the businesses were based on projecting revenues and profits, tax rates, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and discount rates. For businesses for which we utilized estimated selling prices to calculate the fair value, factors included projected market multiples and any reasonable offers. Due to the uncertainties in the estimation process, it is possible that actual results could differ from the estimates used in the Company's analysis. The inputs utilized in the fair value estimates are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the net assets were measured on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2019.
Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
Our investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries was $133 million and $179 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. On December 1, 2016, we acquired a 26.5% equity interest in Mekonomen AB ("Mekonomen") for an aggregate purchase price of $181 million. In October 2018, we acquired an additional $48 million of equity in Mekonomen at a discounted share price as part of its rights issue, increasing our equity interest to 26.6%. We are accounting for our interest in Mekonomen using the equity method of accounting, as our investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee. As of June 30, 2019, our share of the book value of Mekonomen's net assets exceeded the book value of our investment in Mekonomen by $5 million; this difference is primarily related to Mekonomen's Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income balance as of our acquisition date in 2016. We are recording our equity in the net earnings of Mekonomen on a one quarter lag. We recorded equity in earnings of $3 million and an equity loss of $37 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and equity in earnings of $1 million and $2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, related to our investment in Mekonomen, including adjustments to convert the results to GAAP and to recognize the impact of our purchase accounting adjustments and the other-than-temporary impairment (three months ended March 31, 2019 only) described below. In May 2018, we received a cash dividend of $8 million (SEK 67 million) related to our investment in Mekonomen. Mekonomen announced in February 2019 that the Mekonomen Board of Directors has proposed no dividend payment in 2019. The Level 1 fair value of our equity investment in the publicly traded Mekonomen common stock at June 30, 2019 was $125 million (using the Mekonomen share price of SEK 77 as of June 30, 2019) compared to a carrying value of $110 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized an other-than-temporary impairment of $40 million, which represented the difference in the carrying value and the fair value of our investment in Mekonomen. The fair value of our investment in Mekonomen was determined using the Mekonomen share price of SEK 65 as of March 31, 2019. The impairment charge is recorded in Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Equity in losses and earnings from our investment in Mekonomen are reported in the Europe segment.
Warranty Reserve
Some of our salvage mechanical products are sold with a standard six month warranty against defects. Additionally, some of our remanufactured engines are sold with a standard three year warranty against defects. We also provide a limited lifetime warranty for certain of our aftermarket products. These assurance-type warranties are not considered a separate performance obligation, and thus no transaction price is allocated to them. We record the warranty costs in Cost of goods sold on 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 thousands):

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.
Treasury Stock    
On October 25, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $500 million of our common stock from time to time through October 25, 2021. 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. Delaware law imposes restrictions on stock repurchases. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 7.0 million shares of common stock for an aggregate price of $191 million. During 2018, we repurchased 2.3 million shares of common stock for an aggregate price of $60 million. As of June 30, 2019, there is $249 million of remaining capacity under our repurchase program. Repurchased shares are accounted for as treasury stock using the cost method.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of New Lease Standard
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which represents the FASB Accounting Standard Codification Topic 842 ("ASC 842"), to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The main difference between the prior standard and ASU 2016-02 is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under the prior standard.
We adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and took advantage of the transition package of practical expedients permitted within the new standard, which, among other things, allows us to carryforward the historical lease classification. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, we elected the short-term lease exemption, which allowed us to not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for qualifying leases existing at transition and new leases we may enter into in the future. Additionally, we adopted the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components.
As of January 1, 2019, we recorded both an operating lease asset and operating lease liability of $1.3 billion. The preexisting deferred rent liability balances from the historical straight-line treatment of operating leases was reclassified as a reduction of the lease asset upon adoption. The adoption of the standard did not materially affect our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income or Statements of Cash Flows as operating lease payments will still be an operating cash outflow and capital lease payments will still be a financing cash outflow. The new standard did not have a material impact on our liquidity. The standard will have no impact on our debt covenant compliance under our current agreements as the covenant calculations are based on the prior lease accounting rules.
Other Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
During the first quarter of 2019, we adopted ASU No. 2017-12, "Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" ("ASU 2017-12"), which amends the hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements in ASC 815 ("Derivatives and Hedging"). ASU 2017-12 significantly alters the hedge accounting model by making it easier for an entity to achieve and maintain hedge accounting and provides for accounting that better reflects an entity's risk management activities. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2017-12 by applying a modified retrospective approach to existing hedging relationships as of the adoption date. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework- Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement" ("ASU 2018-13"), which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements in ASC 820. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019; early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact of this standard on our disclosures but do not currently believe that it will have a material impact.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" ("ASU 2016-13"), and in November 2018 issued a subsequent

13



amendment, ASU 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" ("ASU 2018-19"). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. ASU 2016-13 will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. ASU 2018-19 will affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope of this amendment that represent the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
  
Note 5. Revenue Recognition
The majority of our revenue is derived from the sale of vehicle parts. We recognize revenue when the products are shipped to, delivered to or picked up by customers, which is the point when title has transferred and risk of ownership has passed.
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, with our parts and services revenue further disaggregated by reportable segment (in thousands):

Parts and Services
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 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.
In North America, our 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 and grilles; wheels; and large mechanical items such as engines and transmissions. In Europe, our 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. In our Specialty operations, we serve six product segments: truck and off-road; speed and performance; RV; towing; wheels, tires and performance handling; and miscellaneous accessories. 
Our service-type warranties typically have service periods ranging from 6 months to 36 months. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606 ("ASC 606"), 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 thousands):

Other Revenue

Revenue from other sources includes scrap sales, bulk sales to mechanical manufacturers (including cores) and sales of aluminum ingots and sows from our furnace operations. We derive scrap metal from several sources, including vehicles that have been used in both our wholesale and self service recycling operations and from original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") and other entities that contract with us for secure disposal of "crush only" vehicles. The sale of hulks in our wholesale and self service recycling operations represents one performance obligation, and revenue is recognized based on a price per weight when the customer (processor) collects the scrap. Some adjustments may occur when the customer weighs the scrap at their location, and revenue is adjusted accordingly.
Revenue by Geographic Area
See Note 16, "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 which includes returns, discounts, rebates, refunds, credits, price concessions, incentives, performance bonuses, or other similar items. Under ASC 606 we are required to select the “expected value method” or the “most likely amount” method in order to estimate variable consideration. We utilize both methods in practice 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 $107 million and $57 million as of June 30, 2019, respectively and $105 million and $56 million as of December 31, 2018. The refund liability is presented separately on the balance sheet 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 which are recorded in Receivables, net on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recorded a reserve for our variable consideration of $86 million and $103 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. While other customer incentive programs exist, we characterize them as material rights in the context of our sales transactions. We consider these programs to be immaterial to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 6. Restructuring and Acquisition Related Expenses
Acquisition Related Expenses
Acquisition related expenses, which include external costs such as legal, accounting and advisory fees, were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.
Acquisition related expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $14 million and $16 million, respectively, which included external costs primarily related to our May 2018 acquisition of Stahlgruber.
Acquisition Integration Plans and Restructuring
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred $3 million and $6 million of restructuring expenses, respectively, related to our acquisition integration efforts. These expenses included approximately $1 million and $3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, related to the integration of our acquisition of Andrew Page Limited ("Andrew Page").
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $2 million and $4 million of restructuring expenses, respectively. Restructuring expenses incurred during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were primarily related to the integration of our acquisition of Andrew Page. This integration included the closure of duplicate facilities and termination of employees.
We expect to incur additional expenses related to the integration of certain of our acquisitions into our existing operations. These integration activities are expected to include the closure of duplicate facilities, rationalization of personnel in connection with the consolidation of overlapping facilities with our existing business, and moving expenses. Future expenses to complete these integration plans are currently expected to be approximately $15 million.
2019 Restructuring Program
In the second quarter, we began implementing a cost reduction initiative, covering all three of our reportable segments, designed to eliminate underperforming assets and cost ineffectiveness. We have incurred and expect to incur costs for employee severance and related employee termination benefits; lease exit costs, such as lease termination fees and accelerated amortization of operating lease assets; and other costs related to facility closures, such as moving expenses to relocate inventory and equipment.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred $5 million of restructuring expense primarily related to employee severance and related termination benefits. We currently expect to incur additional expenses of between $20 million and $25 million through the end of 2020 to complete the program.

Note 7. Stock-Based Compensation
In order to attract and retain employees, non-employee directors, consultants, and other persons associated with us, 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 most of the RSUs containing a performance-based vesting condition, the Company must report positive diluted earnings per share, subject to certain adjustments, during any fiscal year period within five years following the grant date; we have an immaterial amount of RSUs containing other performance-based vesting conditions. 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. Our 2019 annual grant of RSUs occurred on March 1, 2019; in previous years, the annual grant occurred in mid-January.
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; 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.
The fair value of RSUs that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $11 million; the fair value of RSUs vested is based on the market price of LKQ stock on the date vested.

The aggregate intrinsic value of expected to vest RSUs represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the fair value of the Company's stock on the last day of each period multiplied by the number of units) that would have been received by the holders had all RSUs vested. This amount changes based on the market price of the Company’s common stock.

In 2019, we granted performance-based three-year RSUs ("PSUs") to certain employees, including our 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 the Company's 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 three year period ending December 31, 2021. In 2019, we also granted an immaterial amount of performance-based RSUs to employees that have different performance metrics than those described above.

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable options represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the fair value of the Company's stock on the last day of each period and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of options where the fair value exceeds the exercise price) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of the last day of the period indicated. This amount changes based on the market price of the Company’s common stock.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Pre-tax stock-based compensation expense for RSUs and PSUs totaled $8 million and $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $6 million and $12 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs and PSUs was $51 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 target.

Net unrealized losses related to our pension plans were reclassified to Other (income) expense, net in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during each of the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Our policy is to reclassify the income tax effect from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the Provision for income taxes when the related gains and losses are released to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
During the first quarter of 2018, we adopted ASU No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2018-02"), which allowed a reclassification from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to Retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the reduction of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to 21% from 35% due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"). As a result of the adoption of ASU 2018-02 in the first quarter of 2018, we recorded a $5 million reclassification to increase Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and decrease Retained earnings.

Senior Secured Credit Agreement
On November 20, 2018, LKQ Corporation, LKQ Delaware LLP, and certain other subsidiaries (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement ("Credit Agreement"), which amended the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated January 29, 2016 by modifying certain terms to (1) increase the total availability under the revolving credit facility's multicurrency component from $2.75 billion to $3.15 billion; (2) reduce the margin on borrowings by 25 basis points at the September 30, 2018 leverage ratio, and reduce the number of leverage pricing tiers; (3) extend the maturity date by one year to January 29, 2024; (4) reduce the unused facility fee depending on leverage category; (5) increase the capacity for incurring additional indebtedness under our receivables securitization facility; (6) increase the maximum borrowing limit of swingline loans and add the ability to borrow in British Pounds and Euros; and (7) make other immaterial or clarifying modifications and amendments to the terms of the Credit Agreement. Borrowings will continue to bear interest at variable rates.
Amounts under the revolving credit facility are due and payable upon maturity of the Credit Agreement on January 29, 2024. Term loan borrowings, which totaled $346 million as of June 30, 2019, are due and payable in quarterly installments equal to $2 million on the last day of each of the first four fiscal quarters ending on or after March 31, 2019 and approximately $4 million on the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, with the remaining balance due and payable on January 29, 2024.
The increase in the revolving credit facility's multicurrency component of $400 million was used in part to pay down $240 million of the term loan (to the new $350 million amount that was outstanding as of the date of the amendment); the remainder will be used for general corporate purposes.
We are required to prepay the term loan by amounts equal to proceeds from the sale or disposition of certain assets if the proceeds are not reinvested within twelve months. We also have the option to prepay outstanding amounts under the Credit Agreement without penalty.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and customary covenants that provide limitations and conditions on our ability to enter into certain transactions. The Credit Agreement also contains financial and affirmative covenants, including limitations on our net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at variable rates, which depend on the currency and duration of the borrowing elected, plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is subject to change in increments of 0.25% depending on our net leverage ratio. Interest payments are due on the last day of the selected interest period or quarterly in arrears depending on the type of borrowing. Including the effect of the interest rate swap agreements described in Note 11, "Derivative

21



Instruments and Hedging Activities," the weighted average interest rates on borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were 1.6% and 1.9%, 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.
Of the total borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement, there were $13 million classified as current maturities at June 30, 2019 compared to $9 million at December 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, 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 June 30, 2019 was $1.9 billion.
Related to the execution of Amendment No. 3 to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement in November 2018, we incurred $4 million of fees, the majority of which were capitalized as an offset to Long-Term Obligations and are amortized over the term of the agreement.
U.S. Notes (2023)
In 2013, we issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% senior notes due 2023 (the "U.S. Notes (2023)"). The U.S. Notes (2023) are governed by the Indenture dated as of May 9, 2013 (the "U.S. Notes (2023) Indenture") among LKQ Corporation, certain of our subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"), the trustee, paying agent, transfer agent and registrar. The U.S. Notes (2023) are registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
The U.S. Notes (2023) bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per year from the most recent payment date on which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest on the U.S. Notes (2023) is payable in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The U.S. Notes (2023) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Guarantors.
The U.S. Notes (2023) and the related guarantees are, respectively, LKQ Corporation's and each Guarantor's senior unsecured obligations and are subordinated to all of the Guarantors' existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured debt. In addition, the U.S. Notes (2023) are effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the U.S. Notes (2023) to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries.
Euro Notes (2024)
On April 14, 2016, LKQ Italia Bondco S.p.A. (“LKQ Italia”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of LKQ Corporation, completed an offering of €500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due April 1, 2024 (the “Euro Notes (2024)”) in a private placement conducted pursuant to Regulation S and Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. 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. The Euro Notes (2024) have been listed on the ExtraMOT, Professional Segment of the Borsa Italia S.p.A. securities exchange and the Global Exchange Market of Euronext Dublin.
Euro Notes (2026/28)
On April 9, 2018, LKQ European Holdings B.V. ("LKQ Euro Holdings"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of LKQ Corporation, completed an offering of €1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes. The offering consisted of €750 million senior notes due 2026 (the "2026 notes") and €250 million senior notes due 2028 (the "2028 notes" and, together with the 2026 notes, the "Euro Notes (2026/28)") in a private placement conducted pursuant to Regulation S and Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The proceeds from the offering, together with borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, were or will be used to (i) finance a portion of the consideration paid for the Stahlgruber acquisition, (ii) for general corporate

22



purposes and (iii) to pay related fees and expenses, including the refinancing of net financial debt. The Euro Notes (2026/28) are governed by the Indenture dated as of April 9, 2018 (the “Euro Notes (2026/28) Indenture”) among LKQ Euro Holdings, LKQ Corporation and certain of our subsidiaries (the “Euro Notes (2026/28) Subsidiaries”), the trustee, paying agent, transfer agent, and registrar.
The 2026 notes and 2028 notes bear interest at a rate of 3.625% and 4.125%, respectively, 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 (2026/28) is payable in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Euro Notes (2026/28) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by LKQ Corporation and the Euro Notes (2026/28) Subsidiaries (the "Euro Notes (2026/28) Guarantors").
The Euro Notes (2026/28) and the related guarantees are, respectively, LKQ Euro Holdings' and each Euro Notes (2026/28) Guarantor’s senior unsecured obligations and will be subordinated to all of LKQ Euro Holdings' and the Euro Notes (2026/28) Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured debt. In addition, the Euro Notes (2026/28) are effectively subordinated to all of the liabilities of our subsidiaries that are not guaranteeing the Euro Notes (2026/28) to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries. The Euro Notes (2026/28) have been listed on the Global Exchange Market of Euronext Dublin.
Related to the execution of the Euro Notes (2026/28) in April 2018, we incurred $16 million of fees, which were capitalized as an offset to Long-Term Obligations and are amortized over the term of the Euro Notes (2026/28).
Receivables Securitization Facility
On December 20, 2018, we amended the terms of our receivables securitization facility with MUFG Bank, Ltd. ("MUFG") (formerly known as The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd.) to: (i) extend the term of the facility to November 8, 2021; (ii) increase the maximum amount available to $110 million; and (iii) make other clarifying and updating changes. Under the facility, LKQ sells an ownership interest in certain receivables, related collections and security interests to MUFG for the benefit of conduit investors and/or financial institutions for cash proceeds. Upon payment of the receivables by customers, rather than remitting to MUFG the amounts collected, LKQ retains such collections as proceeds for the sale of new receivables generated by certain of the ongoing operations of the Company.
The sale of the ownership interest in the receivables is accounted for as a secured borrowing in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, under which the receivables included in the program collateralize the amounts invested by MUFG, the conduit investors and/or financial institutions (the "Purchasers"). The receivables are held by LKQ Receivables Finance Company, LLC ("LRFC"), a wholly owned bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary of LKQ, and therefore, the receivables are available first to satisfy the creditors of LRFC, including the Purchasers. While there were no borrowings on our receivables securitization facility as of June 30, 2019, $129 million of net receivables were available as collateral for the investment under the receivables facility, compared to $132 million as of December 31, 2018.
Under the receivables facility, we pay variable interest rates plus a margin on the outstanding amounts invested by the Purchasers. The variable rates are based on (i) commercial paper rates, (ii) London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), or (iii) base rates, and are payable monthly in arrears. The commercial paper rate is the applicable variable rate unless conduit investors are not available to invest in the receivables at commercial paper rates. In such case, financial institutions will invest at the LIBOR rate or at base rates. We also pay a commitment fee on the excess of the investment maximum over the average daily outstanding investment, payable monthly in arrears. As of June 30, 2019, the interest rate under the receivables facility was based on commercial paper rates and was 3.4%. The outstanding balance was $110 million as of December 31, 2018 and there was no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2019. At December 31, 2018, we classified the outstanding balance as long-term on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets because we have the ability and intent to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis.

Note 11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We are exposed to market risks, including the effect of changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Under our current policies, we use derivatives to manage our exposure to variable interest rates on our senior secured debt and changing foreign exchange rates for certain foreign currency denominated transactions. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
We hold 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 pay the fixed interest rate and receive payment

23



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 are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are reclassified to interest expense when the underlying interest payment has an impact on earnings. Our interest rate swap contracts have maturity dates ranging from January to June 2021.
From time to time, we may hold foreign currency forward contracts related to certain foreign currency denominated intercompany transactions, with the objective of minimizing the impact of 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 are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and reclassified to other income, net when the underlying transaction has an impact on earnings.
In 2016, we entered into three cross currency swap agreements for a total notional amount of $422 million (€400 million). The notional amount steps down by €15 million annually through 2020 with the remainder maturing in January 2021. These cross currency swaps contain an interest rate swap component and a foreign currency forward contract component that, combined with related intercompany financing arrangements, effectively convert variable rate U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings into fixed rate euro-denominated borrowings. The swaps are intended to minimize the impact of fluctuating exchange rates and interest rates on the cash flows resulting from the related intercompany financing arrangements. The changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and are reclassified to interest expense, net of interest income when the underlying transactions have an impact on earnings.
In October 2018, we entered into two cross currency swap agreements for a total notional amount of $184 million (€160 million). Half of the notional amount matures in October 2019 with the remainder in October 2020. The purpose of, and accounting for, the swaps are similar to those described in the previous paragraph.
The activity related to our cash flow hedges is presented in operating activities in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The following tables summarize the notional amounts and fair values of our designated cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

While certain derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty are subject to master netting arrangements, we present our cash flow hedge derivative instruments on a gross basis in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact of netting the fair values of these contracts would result in a decrease to Other Noncurrent Assets and Other Noncurrent Liabilities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of $5 million and $14 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

24



The activity related to our cash flow hedges is included in Note 9, "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)." As of June 30, 2019, we estimate that $1 million of derivative gains (net of tax) included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) will be reclassified into our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income within the next 12 months.
Other Derivative Instruments
We hold other short-term derivative instruments, including foreign currency forward contracts, to manage our exposure to variability related to inventory purchases and intercompany financing transactions denominated in a non-functional currency. We have elected not to apply hedge accounting for these transactions, and therefore the contracts are adjusted to fair value through our results of operations as of each balance sheet date, which could result in volatility in our earnings. The notional amount and fair value of these contracts at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, along with the effect on our results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, were immaterial.

Note 12. Fair Value Measurements
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
We use the market and income approaches to estimate the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 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 in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The following tables present information about our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs we utilized to determine such fair value as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

The cash surrender value of life insurance is included in Other noncurrent assets on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The current portion of deferred compensation is included in Accrued payroll-related liabilities and the current portion of contingent consideration liabilities is included in Other current liabilities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; the noncurrent portion of these amounts is included in Other noncurrent liabilities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the expected timing of the related payments. The balance sheet classification of the interest rate swaps and cross currency swap agreements is presented in Note 11, "Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities."
Our Level 2 assets and liabilities are valued using inputs from third parties and market observable data. We obtain valuation data for the cash surrender value of life insurance and deferred compensation liabilities from third party sources, which determine the net asset values for our accounts using quoted market prices, investment allocations and reportable trades. We value our other derivative instruments using a third party valuation model that performs a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contracts and market observable inputs such as current and forward interest rates and current and forward foreign exchange rates.
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.
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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of our credit agreement borrowings reasonably approximated the carrying values of $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. In addition, based on market conditions, the fair value of the outstanding borrowings under the receivables facility reasonably approximated the carrying value of $110 million at December 31, 2018; as of June 30, 2019, there were no outstanding borrowings under the receivables facility. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair values of the U.S. Notes (2023) were approximately $608 million and $574 million, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $600 million at each date. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair values of the Euro Notes (2024) were approximately $631 million and $586 million compared to carrying values of $569 million and $573 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the fair value of the Euro Notes (2026/28) was $1.2 billion compared to a carrying value of $1.1 billion; as of December 31, 2018, the fair value of the Euro Notes (2026/28) approximated the carrying value of $1.1 billion.
The fair value measurements of the borrowings under our credit agreement and receivables facility are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy since they are determined based upon significant inputs observable in the market, including interest rates on recent financing transactions with similar terms and maturities. We estimated the fair value by calculating the upfront cash payment a market participant would require at June 30, 2019 to assume these obligations. The fair value of our U.S. Notes (2023) is classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy since it is determined based upon observable market inputs including quoted market prices in an active market. The fair values of our Euro Notes (2024) and Euro Notes (2026/28) 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 13. Leases
We lease certain warehouses, distribution centers, retail stores, office space, land, vehicles and equipment.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As the implicit rate for most of our leases is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Upon adoption of the new lease standard, we utilized the incremental borrowing rate as of the date of adoption. We determine our incremental borrowing rate by analyzing yield curves with consideration of lease term, and country and company specific factors. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease prepayments and excludes lease incentives.
Many of our leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 1 to 40 years or more. Our lease terms assumed in our measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Some of our lease agreements include rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation. Most of these adjustments are considered variable lease costs. Other variable lease costs consist of certain non-lease components that are disclosed as lease costs due to our election of the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components and include items such as variable payments for utilities, property taxes, common area maintenance, sales taxes, and insurance.
For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, we have not recognized an operating lease ROU asset or operating lease liability on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
We guarantee the residual values for the majority of our vehicles. The residual values decline over the lease terms to a defined percentage of original cost. In the event the lessor does not realize the residual value when a vehicle is sold, we would be responsible for a portion of the shortfall. Similarly, if the lessor realizes more than the residual value when a vehicle is sold, we would be paid the amount realized over the residual value. Had we terminated all of our operating leases subject to these guarantees at June 30, 2019, our portion of the guaranteed residual value would have totaled approximately $75 million. Other than the residual value guarantees associated with our vehicles discussed above, we do not have any other material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

As of June 30, 2019, we have additional minimum operating lease payments for leases that have not yet commenced of $75 million. These operating leases will commence between July 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020 with lease terms of 3 to 20 years. Most of these leases have not commenced as the assets are in the process of being constructed. We have appropriately considered the build-to-suit and sale-leaseback guidance where appropriate on these leases. No significant build-to-suit or sale-leaseback transactions have been identified.

Note 14. 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the aggregate funded status of the defined benefit plans was a liability of $115 million and $110 million, respectively, and is reported in Other noncurrent liabilities and Accrued payroll-related liabilities on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

29



On June 28, 2019, we approved an amendment to terminate our primary defined benefit plan in the U.S. (the "U.S. Plan") and freeze all related benefit accruals, effective June 30, 2019. The distribution of the U.S Plan assets pursuant to the termination will not be made until the plan termination satisfies all regulatory requirements, which is expected to be completed in 2020. U.S. Plan participants will receive their full accrued benefits from plan assets by electing either lump sum distributions or annuity contracts with a qualifying third-party annuity provider. The resulting settlement effect of the U.S. Plan termination will be determined based on prevailing market conditions, the lump sum offer participation rate of eligible participants, the actual lump sum distributions, and annuity purchase rates at the date of distribution. As a result, we are currently unable to reasonably estimate either the timing or the final amount of such settlement charges. Based on the valuation performed as of June 28, 2019, the U.S. Plan has an underfunded status of $3 million.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost was classified in Selling, general and administrative expenses, while the other components of net periodic benefit cost were classified in Other (income) expense, net in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Note 15. Income Taxes
At the end of each interim period, we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply that rate to our interim earnings. We also record the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and the effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur.
The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in state and foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences between book and taxable income, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as the tax environment changes.    
Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 27.1%, compared to 26.3% for the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the impact of a favorable discrete item of approximately $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, for excess tax benefits from stock-based payments; there was an immaterial amount for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The year over year change for this discrete item increased the effective tax rate by 0.7% compared to the prior year period, while the remaining discrete items increased the effective tax rate by an immaterial amount compared to the prior year period.

Note 16. Segment and Geographic Information
We have four operating segments: Wholesale – North America, Europe, Specialty and Self Service. Our Wholesale – North America and Self Service operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment, North America, because they possess similar economic characteristics and have common products and services, customers, and methods of distribution. Our reportable segments are organized based on a combination of geographic areas served and type of product lines offered. The reportable segments are managed separately as each business serves different customers (i.e. geographic in the case of North America and Europe and product type in the case of Specialty) and is affected by different economic conditions. Therefore, we present three reportable segments: North America, Europe and Specialty.
The following tables present our financial performance by reportable segment for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The key measure of segment profit or loss reviewed by our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer, is Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA includes revenue and expenses that are controllable by the segment. Corporate 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 acquisition related expenses, 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, and impairment charges. EBITDA, which is the basis for Segment EBITDA, is calculated as net income, less net income (loss) attributable to continuing and discontinued noncontrolling interest, excluding discontinued operations and discontinued noncontrolling interest, depreciation, amortization, interest and income tax expense.

We report net receivables; inventories; net property, plant and equipment; net operating lease assets; and equity method investments by segment as that information is used by the chief operating decision maker in assessing segment performance. These assets provide a measure for the operating capital employed in each segment. Unallocated assets include cash and cash equivalents, prepaid and other current and noncurrent assets, goodwill and other intangibles.
Our largest countries of operation are the U.S., followed by the U.K. and Germany. Additional European operations are located in the Netherlands, Italy, Czech Republic, Belgium, Poland, Slovakia, Austria, and other European countries. Our operations in other countries include operations in Canada, engine remanufacturing and bumper refurbishing operations in Mexico, an aftermarket parts freight consolidation warehouse in Taiwan, and administrative support functions in India. Our net sales are attributed to geographic area based on the location of the selling operation.

Note 17. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
LKQ Corporation (the "Parent") issued, and the Guarantors have fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, the U.S. Notes (2023) due on May 15, 2023. A Guarantor's guarantee will be unconditionally and automatically released and discharged upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) a transfer (including as a result of consolidation or merger) by the Guarantor to any person that is not a Guarantor of all or substantially all assets and properties of such Guarantor, provided the Guarantor is also released from its obligations with respect to indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or other indebtedness of ours, which obligation gave rise to the guarantee of the U.S. Notes (2023); (ii) a transfer (including as a result of consolidation or merger) to any person that is not a Guarantor of the equity interests of a Guarantor or issuance by a Guarantor of its equity interests such that the Guarantor ceases to be a subsidiary, as defined in the U.S. Notes (2023) Indenture, provided the Guarantor is also released from its obligations with respect to indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or other indebtedness of ours, which obligation gave rise to the guarantee of the U.S. Notes (2023); (iii) the release of the Guarantor from its obligations with respect to indebtedness under the Credit Agreement or other indebtedness of ours, which obligation gave rise to the guarantee of the U.S. Notes (2023); and (iv) upon legal defeasance, covenant defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the U.S. Notes (2023) Indenture, as defined in the U.S. Notes (2023) Indenture.
Presented below are the unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements of the Parent, the Guarantors, the non-guarantor subsidiaries (the "Non-Guarantors"), and the elimination entries necessary to present our financial statements on a consolidated basis as required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 resulting from the guarantees of the U.S. Notes (2023). Investments in consolidated subsidiaries have been presented under the equity method of accounting. The principal elimination entries eliminate investments in subsidiaries, intercompany balances, and intercompany revenue and expenses. The unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements below have been prepared from our financial information on the same basis of accounting as the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and may not necessarily be indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows had the Parent, Guarantors and Non-Guarantors operated as independent entities.

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 2018 Form 10-K and in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q (including this Quarterly Report).

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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 the United Kingdom, Germany, the Benelux region (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg), Italy, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Austria, 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. We aggregate our Wholesale – North America and Self Service operating segments into one reportable segment, North America, resulting in three reportable segments: North America, Europe and Specialty.
Our 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.
Acquisitions and Investments
Since our inception in 1998, we have pursued a growth strategy through both organic growth and acquisitions. We have pursued acquisitions that we believe will help drive profitability, cash flow and stockholder value. We target companies that are market leaders, will expand our geographic presence and will enhance our ability to provide a wide array of vehicle products to our customers through our distribution network.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we completed five acquisitions, including one wholesale business and one self service business in North America, and three wholesale businesses in Europe.

47



On May 30, 2018, we acquired Stahlgruber, a leading European wholesale distributor of aftermarket spare parts for passenger cars, tools, capital equipment and accessories with operations in Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia with further sales to Switzerland. This acquisition expanded LKQ's geographic presence in continental Europe and serves as an additional strategic hub for our European operations. In addition, this acquisition allows for continued improvement in procurement, logistics and infrastructure optimization.
In addition to the Stahlgruber acquisition, during the year ended December 31, 2018, we acquired various smaller businesses across our North America and Europe segments.
On December 1, 2016, we acquired a 26.5% equity interest in Mekonomen, the leading independent car parts and service chain in the Nordic region of Europe, offering a wide range of quality products including spare parts and accessories for cars, and workshop services for consumers and businesses. We acquired additional shares in the fourth quarter of 2018, increasing our equity interest to 26.6%. We are accounting for our interest in Mekonomen using the equity method of accounting, as our investment gives us the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over the investee.
See Note 2, "Business Combinations," and "Investments in Unconsolidated Subsidiaries" in Note 4, "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 acquisitions and 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 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, diagnostic and repair services, and processing fees related to the secure disposal of vehicles. Revenue from other sources includes scrap 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 5, "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 Policies and Estimates
On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, which represents FASB ASC 842. We adopted the new guidance using the modified retrospective transition approach by applying the new standard to all leases existing at the date of initial application with no restatement of comparative periods. The most significant impact was the recognition of lease assets and liabilities for operating leases. Refer to “Adoption of New Lease Standard” in Note 4, "Financial Statement Information” and Note 13, "Leases” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
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 us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our 2018 Form 10-K includes a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates we believe are the most important to aid in understanding our financial results. Other than the adoption of ASU 2016-02 described above, there have been no changes to those critical accounting policies or estimates that have had a material impact on our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue or expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" in Note 4, "Financial Statement 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 new accounting standards.
Financial Information by Geographic Area
See Note 16, "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.

The change in parts and services revenue of 8.0% represented an increase in segment revenue of 18.0% in Europe and a decrease in segment revenue of 0.3% in Specialty; North America segment revenue was flat compared to the prior year second quarter. The decrease in other revenue of 7.0% was primarily driven by a $15 million organic decrease, largely attributable to our North America segment. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the change in revenue by segment during the second quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year period.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold decreased to 61.6% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 61.7% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2018. Cost of goods sold decreased 0.5% as a result of our North America segment, partially offset by a 0.3% increase attributable to mix. The mix impact is a result of our Stahlgruber acquisition, as the lower margin Europe segment makes up a larger percentage of the consolidated results and has a dilutive effect on the gross margin percentage. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the changes in cost of

goods sold as a percentage of revenue by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 27.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 27.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily as a result of a 0.6% increase from our Europe segment. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the changes in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

(2)
Restructuring expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily related to the integration of our acquisition of Andrew Page.
(3)
Acquisition related expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2018 included $13 million of costs for our acquisition of Stahlgruber.
See Note 6, "Restructuring and Acquisition Related Expenses" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our restructuring and integration plans.
Impairment of Net Assets Held for Sale. We recorded a $33 million impairment charge on net assets held for sale in the second quarter of 2019. See Note 4, "Financial Statement Information" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the impairment charge. The impairment charge is excluded from our calculation of Segment EBITDA. See Note 16, "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 our reconciliation of Net Income to Segment EBITDA.

The decrease in interest is primarily related to a $2 million decrease from lower interest rates on borrowings under our senior secured credit agreement compared to the prior year period.
(2)
The increase in other income primarily consisted of (i) a $4 million favorable variance in foreign currency gains and losses, and (ii) a $2 million non-recurring impairment loss recorded during the second quarter of 2018 related to our Andrew Page operation.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 27.1%, compared to 27.9% for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to the impact of an unfavorable discrete item of approximately $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, which adjusted the 2018 projected rate as a result of the Stahlgruber acquisition, due to the higher effective tax rate in Germany and the impact of suspended interest deductions due to thin capitalization constraints. The remaining discrete items impacted the effective tax rate by an immaterial amount compared to the prior year period.
Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 primarily related to our investment in Mekonomen.
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, 2018, the Czech koruna, euro, pound sterling and Canadian dollar rates used to translate the 2019 statements of income decreased by 6.2%, 5.8%, 5.5% and 3.5%, respectively. The negative translation effect of the change in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar netted against the positive impact of realized and unrealized currency gains and losses for the three months ended June 30, 2019, resulting in a negative effect of approximately half a penny on diluted earnings per share relative to the prior year period.
Net Income Attributable to Continuing and Discontinued Noncontrolling Interest. Net income attributable to continuing noncontrolling interest for the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased an immaterial amount compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to the noncontrolling interest of subsidiaries acquired in connection with the Stahlgruber acquisition. Net income attributable to discontinued noncontrolling interest for the three months ended June 30, 2019 related to the Stahlgruber Czech Republic wholesale business. See Note 3, "Discontinued Operations" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on this business.

The change in parts and services revenue of 11.4% represented increases in segment revenue of 27.4% in Europe and 0.1% in Specialty and a decrease in segment revenue of 0.7% in North America. On average, there was one fewer selling day in the first half of 2019 compared to the prior year period, which negatively impacted the reported organic parts and services revenue decline for the first half of 2019 by 1.0%. The decrease in other revenue of 6.4% was primarily driven by a $25 million organic decrease, largely attributable to our North America segment. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the change in revenue by segment during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year period.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold decreased to 61.3% of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 61.5% of revenue in the comparable prior year period. Cost of goods sold decreased 0.5% and 0.2% as a result of our North America and Europe segments, respectively, partially offset by increases of 0.3% and 0.2% attributable to mix and our Specialty segment, respectively. The mix impact is a result of our Stahlgruber acquisition, as the lower margin Europe segment makes up a larger percentage of the consolidated results and has a dilutive effect on the gross margin percentage. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the changes in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue increased to 28.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 27.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily as a result of a 0.4% and 0.2% increase from our Europe and North America segments, respectively. Refer to the discussion of our segment results of operations for factors contributing to the changes in SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Additional interest related to (i) a $10 million increase resulting from higher outstanding debt during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period (including the borrowings under our Euro Notes (2026/28)), partially offset by (ii) a $4 million decrease from lower interest rates on borrowings under our senior secured credit agreement compared to the prior year period, and (iii) a $2 million decrease from foreign currency translation, primarily related to a decrease in the euro exchange rate during the first six months of 2019 compared to the prior year period.
(2)
The increase in other income primarily consisted of (i) $3 million of proceeds received in the first quarter of 2019 related to an insurance settlement in our North America segment, (ii) a $2 million non-recurring impairment loss recorded during the second quarter of 2018 related to our Andrew Page operation, and (iii) a $2 million favorable variance in foreign currency gains and losses.
Provision for Income Taxes. Our effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 27.1%, compared to 26.3% for the comparable prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to the impact of a favorable discrete item of approximately $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, for excess tax benefits from stock-based payments; there was an immaterial amount for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The year over year change for this discrete item increased the effective tax rate by 0.7% compared to the prior year period, while the remaining discrete items increased the effective tax rate by an immaterial amount compared to the prior year period.
Equity in Earnings (Losses) of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries. Equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily related to our investment in Mekonomen. During the first quarter of 2019, we recorded a $40 million other-than-temporary impairment related to our investment in Mekonomen. See Note 4, "Financial Statement Information" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the impairment charge. The impairment charge is excluded from our calculation of Segment EBITDA. See Note 16, "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 our reconciliation of Net Income to Segment EBITDA.
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 six months ended June 30, 2019, the Czech koruna, euro, pound sterling and Canadian dollar rates used to translate the 2019 statements of income decreased by 7.4%, 6.7%, 6.0% and 4.2%, respectively. The negative translation effect of the change in foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar and realized and unrealized currency losses for the six months ended June 30, 2019 resulted in a $0.02 negative effect on diluted earnings per share relative to the prior year period.
Net Income Attributable to Continuing and Discontinued Noncontrolling Interest. Net income attributable to continuing noncontrolling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $2 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to the noncontrolling interest of subsidiaries acquired in connection with the Stahlgruber acquisition. Net income attributable to discontinued noncontrolling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2019 related to the Stahlgruber Czech Republic wholesale business. See Note 3, "Discontinued Operations" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on this business.

Results of Operations—Segment Reporting
We have four operating segments: Wholesale – North America, Europe, Specialty and Self Service. Our Wholesale – North America and Self Service operating segments are aggregated into one reportable segment, North America, because they possess similar economic characteristics and have common products and services, customers, and methods of distribution. Therefore, we present three reportable segments: North America, Europe and Specialty.
We 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 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, who is 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 acquisition related expenses, 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, and impairment charges. EBITDA, which is the basis for Segment EBITDA, is calculated as net income, less net income (loss) attributable to continuing and discontinued noncontrolling interest, excluding discontinued operations and discontinued noncontrolling interest, depreciation, amortization, interest and income tax expense. See Note 16, "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.

Note: In the table above, the sum of the individual percentages may not equal the total due to rounding.
(1)
Parts and services organic revenue declined 0.4% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year period. This decline was impacted by (i) lower revenue in our glass and aviation businesses, which had unfavorable effects on organic growth of 0.6% and 0.4%, respectively, and (ii) collision and liability related auto claims being 2.6% lower in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year period, which adversely impacted volume in our wholesale operations. Additionally, our North America segment generated a 7.4% organic growth rate for parts and services revenue in the second quarter of 2018, due in part to severe winter weather conditions, which increased backlog at our customers going into the second quarter. Facing a strong comparable period and with less favorable weather conditions in the first half of 2019, organic parts and services revenue growth was below our historical average.
(2)
The $15 million year over year organic decrease in other revenue primarily related to (i) a $20 million decrease in revenue from scrap steel and other metals primarily related to lower prices, partially offset by increased volumes, and (ii) a $6 million decrease in core revenue primarily related to decreased volumes, partially offset by (iii) a $10 million increase in revenue from metals found in catalytic converters (platinum, palladium, and rhodium) primarily due to higher prices and, to a lesser extent, increased volumes.
(3)
Acquisition related growth in the second quarter of 2019 reflected revenue from our acquisition of four wholesale businesses and one self service business since the beginning of the second quarter of 2018 through the one-year anniversary of the acquisitions.
Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $15 million, or 8.6%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of the prior year. Sequential decreases in scrap steel prices in our salvage and self service operations had an unfavorable impact of $2 million on North America Segment EBITDA during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a $4 million positive impact on the three months ended June 30, 2018. This unfavorable impact for the three months ended June 30, 2019 resulted from the decrease 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.

The increase in gross margin primarily reflected a favorable impact of 1.2% from our wholesale operations, partially

55



offset by an unfavorable impact of 0.2% from our self service operations. The increase in wholesale gross margin was primarily attributable to ongoing pricing initiatives. The decrease in self service gross margin was primarily attributable to sequential decreases in scrap steel prices as higher cost vehicles, which were purchased in the first quarter of 2019 during a period of higher scrap prices, were scrapped. The unfavorable impact in self service gross margin was partially offset by a nonrecurring benefit of 0.2% due to $3 million of proceeds received in the second quarter of 2019 related to an insurance settlement.
(2)
Segment operating expenses as a percentage of revenue were flat year over year despite the negative leverage effect resulting from the $13 million year over year decline in other revenue, as incremental scrap revenue does not require additional overhead costs, such as commissions and delivery costs, thus creating a dilutive impact to margin in periods with declining scrap revenue. Lower personnel related expenses, including reductions in workers compensation claims, third party contract labor costs and overtime costs, helped to offset the negative leverage effect. Additionally, facility expenses increased 0.3% principally related to higher expenses in rent related to expansions and renewals. The offsetting decrease was primarily related to lower bad debt expense of 0.2%, principally due to increased collection efforts. In dollar terms, segment operating expenses were down by $5 million relative to the second quarter of 2018.
(3)
The decrease in other expense, net and net income attributable to continuing noncontrolling interest was primarily due to several individually immaterial factors that had a favorable impact of 0.2% in the aggregate.

(1)
The parts and services organic revenue decline for the quarter was affected by softer economic conditions across the continent. Additionally, we believe the U.K.'s potential exit from the European Union continues to have a negative impact on that market. Warmer weather also negatively impacted some markets. Selling days differ by market, but, on average, we had one fewer selling day in our Europe segment in the second quarter of 2019 than in the prior year period. On a per day basis, organic parts and services revenue declined 2.8%.
(2)
Acquisition related growth for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $355 million, or 27.6%, primarily from our acquisition of Stahlgruber.
(3)
Compared to the prior year, exchange rates decreased our revenue growth by $69 million, or 5.3%, primarily due to the stronger U.S. dollar against the euro, pound sterling and Czech koruna during the second quarter of 2019 relative to the second quarter of 2018.
Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $5 million, or 4.9%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of the prior year. Our Europe Segment EBITDA included a negative year over year impact of $6 million related to the translation of local currency results into U.S. dollars at lower exchange rates than those experienced during the second quarter of 2018. On a constant currency basis (i.e. excluding the translation impact), Segment EBITDA increased by $12 million, or 10.4%, compared to the prior year. Refer to the Foreign Currency Impact discussion within the Results of Operations - Consolidated section above for further detail regarding foreign currency impact on our results for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Gross margin was flat year over year primarily due to (i) a 0.5% favorable impact related to an increase in supplier rebates as a result of centralized procurement for our Europe segment, principally driven by our acquisition of Stahlgruber, offset by (ii) unfavorable impacts due to several individually immaterial factors.
(2)
The increase in segment operating expenses as a percentage of revenue reflects the negative leverage effect resulting from the year over year decline in revenue. Having one fewer selling day in the second quarter of 2019 and a decline in organic revenue (per day) increased the expense as a percentage of revenue of fixed costs, such as personnel salaries and facility rental expenses. The increase in segment operating expenses was primarily due to (i) a 1.0% increase in personnel expenses principally as a result of the negative leverage effect, and (ii) a 0.3% increase in non-recurring European systems and integration costs, including fees related to new information technology and other projects

related to the integration of the European businesses, partially offset by (iii) lower bad debt expense of 0.3%, principally due to increased collection efforts.

Organic growth in parts and services revenue was roughly flat compared to the prior year second quarter as a result of modest volume growth in both our automotive and RV businesses in the U.S., partially offset by decreased sales volumes in our Canada operations compared to the prior year period, primarily due to softening economic conditions.
Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA decreased $4 million, or 6.6%, in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year second quarter.

(2)
The decrease in segment operating expenses reflects favorable impacts of (i) 0.4% in personnel costs primarily due to reduced headcount, and (ii) 0.2% in freight, vehicle and fuel expenses due to a decreased use of third party freight, partially offset by (iii) a 0.2% increase in facility expenses due to higher rent and property taxes as a result of warehouse expansion projects that were completed in the second half of 2018.

(1)
Parts and services organic revenue was negatively impacted by one fewer selling day in the first half of 2019 compared to the prior year period. On a per day basis, organic revenue declined 0.1%. This decline was impacted by (i) lower revenue in our glass and aviation businesses, which had unfavorable effects on organic growth of 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively, and (ii) collision and liability related auto claims being 2.6% lower in the first half of 2019, which adversely impacted volume in our wholesale operations. Additionally, our North America segment generated a 7.0% organic growth rate for parts and services revenue in the first half of 2018, due in part to severe winter weather conditions. Facing a strong comparable period and with less favorable weather conditions in the first half of 2019, organic parts and services revenue growth was below our historical average.
(2)
The $25 million year over year organic decrease in other revenue primarily related to (i) a $33 million decrease in revenue from scrap steel and other metals primarily related to lower prices, partially offset by increased volumes, and (ii) an $8 million decrease in core revenue primarily related to decreased volumes, partially offset by (iii) a $16 million increase in revenue from metals found in catalytic converters (platinum, palladium, and rhodium) primarily due to higher prices, partially offset by decreased volumes.
(3)
Acquisition related growth in the first half of 2019 reflected revenue from our acquisition of five wholesale businesses and one self service business from the beginning of 2018 through the one-year anniversary of the acquisitions.
Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $14 million, or 4.0%, in the first half of 2019 compared to the prior year period. Sequential decreases in scrap steel prices in our salvage and self service operations had an unfavorable impact of $7 million on North America Segment EBITDA during the first half of 2019, compared to a $17 million positive impact on the first half of 2018. This unfavorable impact resulted from the decrease 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.

(1)
The increase in gross margin primarily reflected a favorable impact of 1.2% from our wholesale operations, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of 0.3% from our self service operations. The increase in wholesale gross margin was primarily attributable to ongoing pricing initiatives. The decrease in self service gross margin was primarily attributable to sequential decreases in scrap steel prices as higher cost vehicles were scrapped.
(2)
The increase in segment operating expenses as a percentage of revenue is primarily related to a 0.4% increase in facility expenses principally due to higher expenses in rent related to expansions and renewals. The increase in segment operating expenses also reflects the negative leverage effect resulting from the year over year decline in revenue. Having one fewer selling day in the first half of 2019 increased the expense as a percentage of revenue of fixed costs, such as facility rental expenses and personnel salaries. The decline in other revenue of $24 million

59



contributed to the negative leverage effect as incremental scrap revenue does not require additional overhead costs, such as commissions and delivery costs, thus creating a dilutive impact to margin in periods with declining scrap revenue. Lower personnel related expenses, including reductions in workers compensation claims, third party contract labor costs and overtime costs, helped to offset the negative leverage effect.
(3)
The decrease in other expense, net and net income attributable to continuing noncontrolling interest was due to several individually immaterial factors that had a favorable impact of 0.3% in the aggregate.

Parts and services organic revenue declined for the first half of 2019, primarily affected by softer economic conditions across the continent. Additionally, we believe the U.K.'s potential exit from the European Union continues to have a negative impact on that market. Warmer weather also negatively impacted some markets. Selling days differ by market, but, on average, we had one fewer selling day in our Europe segment in the first half of 2019 than in the prior year period. On a per day basis, organic parts and services revenue declined 0.6%.
(1)
Acquisition related growth for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $822 million, or 35.3%, primarily from our acquisition of Stahlgruber.
(2)
Compared to the prior year, exchange rates decreased our revenue growth by $144 million, or 6.2%, primarily due to the stronger U.S. dollar against the euro, pound sterling and Czech koruna during the first half of 2019 relative to the comparable period of 2018.
Segment EBITDA. Segment EBITDA increased $35 million, or 18.9%, in the first half of 2019 compared to the comparable period of the prior year. Our Europe Segment EBITDA included a negative year over year impact of $12 million related to the translation of local currency results into U.S. dollars at lower exchange rates than those experienced during the first half of 2018. On a constant currency basis (i.e. excluding the translation impact), Segment EBITDA increased by $47 million, or 25.2%, compared to the prior year. Refer to the Foreign Currency Impact discussion within the Results of Operations - Consolidated section above for further detail regarding foreign currency impact on our results for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Organic growth in parts and services revenue was primarily due to higher volumes across both our automotive and RV businesses in the U.S., largely due to expansion of our product line coverage, strong exclusive line performance, and continued roll-out of new product applications for new model year vehicles. The organic growth was partially offset by decreased sales volumes in our Canada operations compared to the prior year period, primarily due to softening economic conditions. Organic growth in parts and services revenue for our Specialty segment on a per day basis was 1.3% as there was one fewer selling day in the first half of 2019 compared to the prior year period.

(3)
Capacity under credit facilities includes our revolving credit facilities and our receivables securitization facility. Availability under credit facilities is reduced by our outstanding letters of credit.
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to fund our operations and provide for expansion through both internal development and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and our credit facilities. We utilize our cash flows from operations to fund working capital and capital expenditures, with the excess amounts going towards funding acquisitions or paying down outstanding debt. As we have pursued acquisitions as part of our growth strategy, our cash flows from operations have not always been sufficient to cover our investing activities. To fund our acquisitions, we have accessed various forms of debt financing, including revolving credit facilities, senior notes and our receivables securitization facility.
As of June 30, 2019, we had debt outstanding and additional available sources of financing as follows:
Senior secured credit facilities maturing in January 2024, composed of term loans totaling $350 million ($346 million outstanding at June 30, 2019) and $3.15 billion in revolving credit ($1.2 billion outstanding at June 30, 2019), bearing interest at variable rates (although a portion of the outstanding debt is hedged through interest rate swap contracts), with availability reduced by $69 million of amounts outstanding under letters of credit
U.S. Notes (2023) totaling $600 million, maturing in May 2023 and bearing interest at a 4.75% fixed rate
Euro Notes (2024) totaling $569 million (€500 million), maturing in April 2024 and bearing interest at a 3.875% fixed rate
Euro Notes (2026/28) totaling $1.1 billion (€1.0 billion), consisting of (i) €750 million maturing in April 2026 and bearing interest at a 3.625% fixed rate, and (ii) €250 million maturing in April 2028 and bearing interest at a 4.125% fixed rate
Receivables securitization facility with availability up to $110 million (no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2019), maturing in November 2021 and bearing interest at variable commercial paper rates
From time to time, we may undertake financing transactions to increase our available liquidity, such as (i) our November 2018 amendment to our senior secured credit facility and (ii) the issuance of the Euro Notes (2026/28) in April 2018 related to the Stahlgruber acquisition. Given the long-term nature of our investment in Stahlgruber, combined with favorable interest rates, we decided to fund the acquisition primarily through long-term, fixed rate notes. We believe this approach provides financial flexibility to execute our long-term growth strategy while maintaining availability under our revolver. If we see an attractive acquisition opportunity, we have the ability to use our revolver to move quickly and have certainty of funding up to the amount of our then-available liquidity.
As of June 30, 2019, we had approximately $2.0 billion available under our credit facilities. Combined with approximately $376 million of cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2019, we had approximately $2.3 billion in available liquidity, an increase of $309 million over our available liquidity as of December 31, 2018.

62



We believe that our current liquidity and cash expected to be generated by operating activities in future periods will be sufficient to meet our current operating and capital requirements, although such sources may not be sufficient for future acquisitions depending on their size. While we believe that we have adequate capacity, from time to time we may need to raise additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements. There can be no assurance that additional funding, or refinancing of our credit facilities, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants or higher interest costs. Our failure to raise capital if and when needed could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Borrowings under the credit agreement accrue interest at variable rates which are tied to LIBOR or the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate ("CDOR"), depending on the currency and the duration of the borrowing, plus an applicable margin rate which is subject to change quarterly based on our reported leverage ratio. We hold interest rate swaps to hedge the variable rates on a portion of our credit agreement borrowings, with the effect of fixing the interest rates on the respective notional amounts. In addition, we hold cross 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 Note 11, "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. After giving effect to these contracts, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under our credit agreement at June 30, 2019 was 1.6%. Including our senior notes and the borrowings under our receivables securitization program, our overall weighted average interest rate on borrowings was 3.0% at June 30, 2019.
Cash interest payments were $75 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, including $46 million in semi-annual interest payments on our U.S. Notes (2023), Euro Notes (2024) and Euro Notes (2026/28). Interest payments on our U.S. Notes (2023) are made in May and November, and interest payments on our Euro Notes (2024) and Euro Notes (2026/28) are made in April and October.
We had outstanding credit agreement borrowings of $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Of these amounts, $13 million and $9 million was classified as current maturities at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Our credit agreement contains customary covenants that provide limitations and conditions on our ability to enter into certain transactions. The credit agreement also contains financial and affirmative covenants, including limitations on our net leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. We were in compliance with all restrictive covenants under our credit agreement as of June 30, 2019.
The following summarizes our required debt covenants and our actual ratios with respect to those covenants as calculated per the credit agreement as of June 30, 2019:

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $376 million, of which $272 million was held by foreign subsidiaries. In general, it is our practice and intention to permanently reinvest the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, and that position has not changed following the enactment of the Tax Act and the related imposition of the transition tax. Distributions of dividends from our foreign subsidiaries, if any, would be generally exempt from further U.S. taxation, either as a result of the new 100% participation exemption under the Tax Act, or due to the previous taxation of foreign earnings under the transition tax. 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.
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.

In North America, aftermarket purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2019 decreased compared to the prior year period primarily as a result of an increased focus on inventory reduction.
(2)
In our Europe segment, the increase in purchases during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily driven by (i) a $588 million increase attributable to incremental inventory purchases as a result of our acquisition of Stahlgruber in the second quarter of 2018, partially offset by (ii) a $25 million decrease attributable to our continental European operations and a $41 million decrease attributable to our UK operations primarily due to inventory reduction efforts. There was also a decrease of $95 million in inventory purchases attributable to the decrease in the value of the euro and pound sterling in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period.

(1)
Refer to the Results of Operations - Consolidated section for further information on the decrease in operating income.
(2)
Non-cash depreciation and amortization expense increased compared to the prior year period as discussed in the Results of Operations - Consolidated section.
(3)
In the first six months of 2019, we recorded impairment charges on net assets held for sale. See "Net Assets Held for Sale" in Note 4, "Financial Statement Information" to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the impairment charges.
(4)
Cash flows related to our primary working capital accounts can be volatile as the purchases, payments and collections can be timed differently from period to period.
Inventory represented an incremental $144 million in cash inflows in 2019 as a result of judicious inventory reduction efforts in all three segments to reflect organic revenue conditions, as disclosed in the procurement section above.
Accounts payable produced an incremental $122 million in cash flows primarily due to timing effects related to our May 30, 2018 acquisition of Stahlgruber. Additionally, we increased accounts payable through extension of vendor terms in North America.
Accounts receivable was a $37 million greater outflow in 2019, primarily attributable to timing effects from the Stahlgruber acquisition, and also to a lesser extent, the unwind of a receivables factoring program at Stahlgruber.    
(5)
Reflects a number of individually insignificant fluctuations in cash paid for other operating activities.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $117 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.2 billion of cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018. We invested $15 million of cash, net of cash acquired, in business acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily related to the Stahlgruber acquisition. Property, plant and equipment purchases were $101 million in the first half of 2019 compared to $115 million in the prior year period. The period over period decrease in cash outflows for purchases of property, plant and equipment was due to roughly equal decreases in all three segments.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $472 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $1.1 billion provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018. We received $1.2 billion from our issuance of the Euro Notes (2026/2028) during the six months ended June 30, 2018; no such proceeds were received in the current year. We repurchased $191 million of our common stock in the first half of 2019; we did not repurchase any shares in the comparable period of 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, net repayments under our credit facilities totaled $273 million compared to $162 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
We intend to continue to evaluate markets for potential growth through the internal development of distribution centers, processing and sales facilities, and warehouses, through further integration of our facilities, and through selected business acquisitions. Our future liquidity and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the costs and timing of our internal development efforts and the success of those efforts, the costs and timing of expansion of our sales and marketing activities, and the costs and timing of future business acquisitions.

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; and
commodity prices.
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 50.3% and 47.9% of our revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively. An increase or decrease in the strength of the U.S. dollar against these currencies by 10% would result in a 5.0% change in our consolidated revenue and a 3.0% change in our operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2019. 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 June 30, 2019 were immaterial. We do not currently attempt to hedge foreign currency exposure related to our foreign currency denominated inventory purchases in our North America operations, and we may not be able to pass on any resulting price increases to our customers.
Other than with respect to a portion of our foreign currency denominated inventory purchases, 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 borrowings as we generate cash flows in the local currencies that can be used to fund debt payments. As of June 30, 2019, we had outstanding borrowings of €500 million under our Euro Notes (2024), €1.0 billion under our Euro Notes (2026/28), and £189 million, €139 million, CAD $130 million, and SEK 275 million under our revolving credit facilities. As of December 31, 2018, we had outstanding borrowings of €500 million under our Euro Notes (2024), €1.0 billion under our Euro Notes (2026/28), and £290 million, €163 million, CAD $130 million, and SEK 275 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 or CDOR. Therefore, we implemented a policy to manage our exposure to variable interest rates on a portion of our outstanding variable rate debt instruments through the use of interest rate swap contracts. These contracts convert a portion of our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt, matching the currency, effective dates and maturity dates to specific debt instruments. Net interest payments or receipts from interest rate swap contracts are included as adjustments to interest expense. All of our interest rate swap contracts have been executed with banks that we believe are creditworthy (Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.; Bank of America, N.A.; Citizens, N.A.; HSBC Bank USA, N.A.; and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A.).
As of June 30, 2019, we held eight interest rate swap contracts representing a total of $480 million of U.S. dollar-denominated notional amount debt. Our interest rate swap contracts are designated as cash flow hedges and modify the variable rate nature of that portion of our variable rate debt. These swaps have maturity dates ranging from January 2021 through June 2021. As of June 30, 2019, the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts was an asset of $6 million. The values of such contracts are subject to changes in interest rates.
In addition to these interest rate swaps, as of June 30, 2019 we held five cross currency swap agreements for a total notional amount of $566 million (€523 million) with maturity dates in October 2019, October 2020, and January 2021. These cross currency swaps contain an interest rate swap component and a foreign currency forward contract component that, combined with related intercompany financing arrangements, effectively convert variable rate U.S. dollar-denominated borrowings into fixed rate euro-denominated borrowings. The swaps are intended to reduce uncertainty in cash flows in U.S.

66



dollars and euros in connection with intercompany financing arrangements. The cross currency swaps were also executed with banks we believe are creditworthy (Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.; Bank of America, N.A.; MUFG; and SunTrust Bank). As of June 30, 2019, the fair value of the interest rate swap components of the cross currency swaps was an asset of $1 million and a liability of $2 million, and the fair value of the foreign currency forward components was an asset of $3 million and a liability of $32 million. The values of these contracts are subject to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
In total, we had 66% of our variable rate debt under our credit facilities at fixed rates at June 30, 2019 compared to 57% at December 31, 2018. See Note 10, "Long-Term Obligations" and Note 11, "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 June 30, 2019, we had approximately $527 million of variable rate debt that was not hedged. Using sensitivity analysis, a 100 basis point movement in interest rates would change interest expense by $5 million over the next twelve months.
Commodity Prices
We are exposed to market risk related to price fluctuations in scrap metal and other metals. Market prices of these metals affect the amount that we pay for our inventory 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 June 30, 2019 has decreased 4% over the average for the first quarter of 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2019, 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 June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION

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.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock. Please refer to our 2018 Form 10-K for information concerning risks and uncertainties that could negatively impact us.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On October 25, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $500 million of our common stock from time to time through October 25, 2021. 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. Delaware law imposes restrictions on stock repurchases.
The following table summarizes our stock repurchases for the three months ended June 30, 2019 (in thousands, except per share data):
