• Revenue growth of 30% to $760 million
  • Organic revenue growth of 12%
  • Diluted EPS from continuing operations increases 23%


LKQ Corporation (Nasdaq:LKQX) today reported revenue for the second quarter of 2011 of $759.7 million, an increase of 29.9% as compared to $584.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. Income from continuing operations for the second quarter of 2011 was $46.7 million, an increase of 23.2% as compared to $37.9 million for the same period of 2010. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.32 for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 increased 23.1% from $0.26 for the second quarter of 2010.

"All of the operating groups performed well during the quarter," stated Robert Wagman, President and Co-Chief Executive Officer of LKQ Corporation. Mr. Wagman continued, "We believe higher fuel prices and lower miles driven created some challenges for certain segments of our business. Despite those challenges, the Company delivered total organic growth of 12.2% in the quarter, including 8.4% for parts and services."

Joseph Holsten, Vice Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of LKQ Corporation added, "We continued our acquisition plans which contributed 17.5% to our revenue growth year-over-year. While realizing the full potential of these businesses will take some time, we are on pace with our plans for integration."

On a six month year-to-date basis, revenue was $1.55 billion, an increase of 30.1% from $1.19 billion for the same six month period of 2010. Income from continuing operations for the first six months of 2011 was $104.9 million, as compared to $89.9 million for the first half of 2010. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.71 for the first six months of 2011, as compared to $0.62 for the same six month period of 2010.

Organic revenue growth on a six month year-to-date basis was 12.9%. Parts and services revenue grew organically by 9.4%. Acquisition revenue growth on a six month year-to-date basis was 17.0%.

Robert Wagman added: "Overall, we are excited about the industry dynamics we see today. Alternative parts usage continues to grow, our fill rates are at historical highs, and we continue to see strong insurance support as we explore alternative salvage solutions outside of the traditional auction environment."

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2011, LKQ's balance sheet reflected cash and equivalents of $42.3 million, and the outstanding obligations under the Company's credit facilities were $574.6 million ($246.9 million of term loans and $327.7 million of revolver borrowings). Availability under the revolver at June 30, 2011, including the impact of outstanding letters of credit of $33.7 million, was $388.6 million.

Other Events

During the second quarter, LKQ acquired three businesses: the U.S. paint distribution business of Akzo Nobel Coatings Inc., a wheel refinishing business in Ohio, and an aftermarket parts distributor in Ohio.

On May 25, 2011 Standard & Poor's raised LKQ's corporate credit rating to BB+ from BB reflecting the Company's increasingly improved credit ratios.

The Company noted that on July 20, 2011 Robert M. Devlin retired from the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Devlin had been a director since 2007.

Regarding Mr. Devlin's retirement, Mr. Donald F. Flynn, Chairman of the Board of Directors stated: "The Board of Directors wishes to acknowledge the significant contributions made by Bob during his tenure and thank him for his service. Bob's vast experience in the insurance industry and extensive career in management played a key role in LKQ's success and growth."

Company Outlook

The Company announced that it is revising earnings guidance for 2011. Income from continuing operations and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations are anticipated to be within the range of $201 million to $211 million and $1.36 to $1.42, respectively. LKQ's previous guidance was $197 million to $211 million for income from continuing operations, and $1.33 to $1.42 for diluted earnings per share.

In addition, the Company left unchanged its guidance of approximately $195 million for cash flows from continuing operations, $85-$95 million in capital expenditures, and organic growth of 6-8% from parts and services revenue.

The Company noted that it does not include sales of scrap or cores in its definition of parts and services revenue. Additionally, all guidance comments exclude restructuring expenses and any gains or losses or capital expenditures related to acquisitions or divestitures.

(1) Loss on debt extinguishment is considered a component of interest in calculating EBITDA, as the write-off of debt issuance costs is similar to the treatment of debt issuance cost amortization.
 
We provide a reconciliation of Income from Continuing Operations to EBITDA as we believe it offers investors, securities analysts and other interested parties useful information regarding our results of operations because it assists in analyzing our performance and the value of our business. EBITDA provides insight into our profitability trends, and allows management and investors to analyze our operating results with and without the impact of depreciation, amortization, interest and income tax expense. We believe EBITDA is used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in evaluating companies, many of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, net income or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report EBITDA information calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly named measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies.
