FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Genuine Parts Company Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

Reaffirms 2026 Outlook for Adjusted EPS of $7.50 to $8.00

Updates Select Elements of 2026 Outlook

ATLANTA -- Genuine Parts Company (NYSE: GPC), a leading global service provider of automotive and industrial replacement parts and value-added solutions, announced today its results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

“The GPC team delivered solid second quarter results, driven by continued sales growth and disciplined execution across our businesses,” said Will Stengel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our teams performed well despite a dynamic global environment, and we remain on track to complete our planned separation in the first quarter of 2027.”

Second Quarter 2026 Results

Sales were $6.5 billion, a 6.0% increase compared to $6.2 billion in the same period of the prior year. The improvement is attributable to a 3.4% increase in comparable sales, a net 1.4% favorable impact of foreign currency and a 1.2% benefit from acquisitions.

Net income was $228 million, or $1.65 per diluted earnings per share. This compares to net income of $255 million, or $1.83 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Adjusted net income was $296 million, or $2.15 per diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net income excludes $69 million of after-tax adjustments, or $0.50 per diluted share, which relates to costs associated with the company's global restructuring initiative and the planned separation of the company's Global Automotive and Global Industrial businesses. This compares to adjusted net income of $292 million, or $2.10 per diluted share in the prior year period. Refer to the reconciliation of GAAP net income to adjusted net income and GAAP diluted net income per common share to adjusted diluted net income per common share for more information.

Second Quarter 2026 Segment Highlights

North America Automotive Parts Group ("North America Automotive")

North America Automotive sales were $2.5 billion, up 3.8% from the same period in 2025. The improvement is primarily attributable to a 2.6% increase in comparable sales and a 1.3% benefit

International Automotive Parts Group ("International Automotive")

International Automotive sales were $1.6 billion, up 8.2% from the same period in 2025. The improvement is primarily attributable to a 4.9% favorable impact of foreign currency, a 2.7% benefit from acquisitions and a 0.6% increase in comparable sales. Segment EBITDA of $150 million increased 6.0%, with segment EBITDA margin of 9.4%, down 20 basis points from the same period of the prior year.

Industrial Parts Group ("Industrial")

Industrial sales were $2.4 billion, up 7.1% from the same period in 2025. The improvement is primarily attributable to a 6.1% increase in comparable sales, a 0.8% favorable impact of foreign currency and a 0.2% benefit from acquisitions. Segment EBITDA of $316 million increased 9.8%, with segment EBITDA margin of 13.1%, up 30 basis points from the same period of the prior year.

Year to Date 2026 Results

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were $12.8 billion, up 6.4% from the same period in 2025. Net income for the six months was $416 million, or $3.01 per diluted share.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

The company generated cash flow from operations of $464 million for the first six months of 2026. Net cash used in investing activities was $228 million, including $205 million for capital expenditures and $38 million for acquisitions. Net cash used in financing activities was $124 million, including net proceeds of debt (including net commercial paper) of $204 million, partially offset by $288 million for quarterly dividends paid to shareholders. Free cash flow was $259 million for the first six months of 2026. Refer to the reconciliation of GAAP net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow for more information.

As of June 30, 2026, total liquidity was $2.3 billion, consisting of $559 million in cash, $500 million available under the Delayed Draw Loan Facility, and $1.2 billion of available capacity under the company's $2.0 billion Revolving Credit Agreement. This reflects $70 million drawn on the revolver and $683 million outstanding under our commercial paper program.

2026 Outlook

Non-GAAP Information

This release contains certain financial information not derived in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). These items include adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per common share, adjusted selling, administrative, and other expenses, and free cash flow. The company believes that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per common share, adjusted selling, administrative and other expenses and free cash flow, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of the company's core operations. The company considers these metrics useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of the company’s ongoing operating performance by removing items management believes are not representative of the company's continuing operations and may distort the company's longer-term operating trends. The company believes these measures are useful and enhance the comparability of the results from period to period and with the company's competitors, as well as show ongoing results from operations distinct from items that are infrequent or not associated with the company’s core operations. The company does not, nor does it suggest investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures as superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information. The company has included a reconciliation of this additional information to the most comparable GAAP measure following the financial statements below. The company does not provide a forward-looking outlook for certain financial measures on a GAAP basis because the company is unable to predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. These items may include separation costs, acquisition-related costs, litigation charges or settlements, impairment charges, restructuring costs and certain other unusual adjustments.

Comparable Sales

Comparable sales is a key metric that refers to period-over-period comparisons of the company's net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, foreign currency and other. The company's calculation of comparable sales is computed using total business days for the period and is inclusive of sales from company-owned stores and sales into independent stores. The company considers this metric useful to investors because it provides greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of the company’s core ongoing operations. This is a metric that is widely used by analysts, investors and competitors, however the company's calculation of the metric may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies and analysts calculate this metric in the same manner.

Genuine Parts Company will hold a conference call today at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the results of the quarter. A supplemental earnings deck will also be available for reference. Interested parties may listen to the call and view the supplemental earnings deck on the company's investor relations website. The call is also available by dialing 800-836-8184.
