Revenue of $5.87 billion edged past the $5.83 billion estimate and grew 1.4% year over year, though the headline growth masked underlying softness; acquisitions contributed 3.0% to the top line while comparable sales declined 0.8%, and one fewer selling day in the U.S. Shaved roughly 1.1 percentage points from both metrics. The Automotive Parts Group, which generated $3.66 billion in sales, saw segment EBITDA fall 10.7% as margin contracted 110 basis points to 7.8%, underscoring the cost pressures that have accompanied the company's restructuring program. Despite a challenging external environment, management reaffirmed its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance of $7.75 to $8.25 and total sales growth of 2% to 4%, though the outlook deliberately excludes any impact from new U.S. Tariffs given continued uncertainty around trade negotiations.
Key Takeaways
- • 3.0% sales growth contribution from acquisitions
- • One fewer selling day in the U.S. negatively impacted sales growth by approximately 1.1%
- • Comparable sales declined 0.8% across total company
- • Foreign currency headwind of 1.5% on total net sales
- • Industrial segment EBITDA margin improved 10 basis points to 12.7%
- • Automotive segment EBITDA margin contracted 110 basis points to 7.8%
