**News Release** 

February 17, 2026

**Genuine Parts Company** 

**Reports Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2025 Results** 

*Declares Dividend Increase for 70th Consecutive Year*

*Provides 2026 Outlook* 

*Separately Announces Plan to Separate Automotive and Industrial Businesses Into Two Industry-Leading Public Companies* 

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 fourth quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2025.

"We continued to advance our GPC strategies in 2025 while navigating a dynamic environment, thanks to the commitment of our teammates," said Will Stengel, Chair-Elect and Chief Executive Officer. "We stayed focused on what we can control, executing defined initiatives to deliver growth and improve productivity. As GPC has evolved with its markets for nearly a century, today's announcement to separate our automotive and industrial businesses is another exciting step forward in our history that is expected to unlock value for our stakeholders and better position our businesses for an even stronger future."

**<u>Fourth Quarter 2025 Results</u>**

Sales were $6.0 billion, a 4.1% increase compared to $5.8 billion in the same period of the prior year. The improvement is attributable to a 1.7% increase in comparable sales, a 1.5% benefit from acquisitions and a net 0.9% favorable impact of foreign currency and other.

Gross profit was $2.1 billion, or 35.0% of sales, an increase of 1.5% compared to gross profit of $2.1 billion, or 35.9% of sales, in the same period of the prior year. During the quarter, the company's gross profit was impacted by $160 million of certain non-recurring charges, primarily related to expected credit losses on volume purchase rebates and other amounts due from a vendor that filed petitions for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In the same period of the prior year, the company incurred a charge of $62 million to write down certain existing inventory associated with a new global rebranding and relaunch of a key tool and equipment offering. Adjusting for these charges, adjusted gross profit as a percentage of sales was 37.6% in the fourth quarter of 2025, an increase of 70 basis points from the prior year period. Refer to the reconciliation of GAAP gross profit to adjusted gross profit and GAAP gross profit as a percentage of net sales to adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales for more information.

------

During the quarter, the company had a net loss of $609 million, or $(4.39) per diluted earnings per share. This compares to net income of $133 million, or $0.96 per diluted share in the prior year period.

Adjusted net income was $216 million, or $1.55 per diluted earnings per share. Adjusted net income excludes a net expense of $825 million after tax adjustments, or $5.94 per diluted share, which relates to certain non-recurring expenses outlined in the reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted net income. The majority of the $825 million net expense relates to the one-time, non-cash pension settlement charge incurred in connection with the termination of the company's U.S. qualified defined benefit plan. This compares to adjusted net income of $224 million, or $1.61 per diluted share in the prior year period. Refer to the reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted net income and GAAP diluted net income (loss) per common share to adjusted diluted net income per common share for more information.

**<u>Fourth Quarter 2025 Segment Highlights</u>**

During the fourth quarter of 2025, the company realigned its Automotive Parts Group segment into two separate reportable segments: North America Automotive Parts Group ("North America Automotive"), which contains the company's automotive operations in the U.S. and Canada; and International Automotive Parts Group ("International Automotive"), which contains the company's automotive operations in Europe and Australasia. There were no changes to the company's Industrial Parts Group ("Industrial") segment. The company believes that this expanded segmentation will provide analysts, investors and other interested parties with additional information to better understand the company's performance.

<u>North America Automotive</u> 

North America Automotive sales were $2.3 billion, up 2.4% from the same period in 2024. The improvement is attributable to a 1.7% increase in comparable sales and a 1.5% benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by a 0.8% unfavorable impact of other. Segment EBITDA of $129 million decreased 14.0%, with segment EBITDA margin of 5.5%, down 110 basis points from the same period of the prior year.

<u>International Automotive</u> 

International Automotive sales were $1.5 billion, up 6.4% from the same period in 2024. The improvement is attributable to a 5.1% favorable impact of foreign currency and a 2.2% benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by a 0.9% decrease in comparable sales. Segment EBITDA of $129 million decreased 4.3%, with segment EBITDA margin of 8.7%, down 100 basis points from the same period of the prior year.

<u>Industrial</u> 

Industrial sales were $2.2 billion, up 4.6% from the same period in 2024. The improvement is attributable to a 3.4% increase in comparable sales, a 1.0% benefit from acquisitions and a 0.2% favorable impact of foreign currency. Segment EBITDA of $295 million increased 8.7%, with segment EBITDA margin of 13.4%, up 50 basis points from the same period of the prior year.

**<u>Full-Year 2025 Results</u>**

Sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 were $24.3 billion, up 3.5% from 2024. Net income for the twelve months was $66 million, or $0.47 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $904 million, or $6.47 per diluted share in the prior year. Adjusted net income for 2025 was $1.0 billion, or $7.37 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted net income of $1.1 billion, or $8.16 per diluted share in 2024.

------

**<u>Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation</u>**

The company generated cash flow from operations of $891 million for the twelve months of 2025. Net cash used in investing activities was $712 million, including $470 million for capital expenditures and $318 million for acquisitions. Net cash used in financing activities was $209 million, including $564 million used for quarterly dividends paid to shareholders and net proceeds of debt (including net commercial paper) of $394 million. Free cash flow was $421 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2025.

The company ended the year with total liquidity of $1.5 billion, consisting of $477 million in cash and $1.1 billion of available capacity under the company's $2.0 billion Revolving Credit Agreement. This reflects $600 million drawn on the revolver and $343 million of outstanding commercial paper, which proceeds were partially offset by the repayment of the $500 million principal amount of the company's 1.75% Unsecured Senior Notes due February 1, 2025.

**<u>Dividend Declaration</u>**

The company's Board of Directors approved a 3.2% increase to its regular quarterly cash dividend for 2026. This increased the cash dividend payable to an annual rate of $4.25 per share from $4.12 per share in 2025. The quarterly cash dividend of $1.0625 per share is payable April 2, 2026 to shareholders of record March 6, 2026. The company has paid a cash dividend every year since going public in 1948, and 2026 marks the 70th consecutive year of increased dividends paid to shareholders.

**<u>2026 Outlook</u>**

In consideration of several factors, the company is establishing full-year 2026 guidance. The company considered its recent business trends and financial results, current growth plans, strategic initiatives, global economic outlook, geopolitical conflicts and the potential impact on results in establishing its guidance, which is outlined in the table below.

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | Year Ended 12/31/2026 |
|  Total sales growth | 3% to 5.5% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; North America Automotive sales growth | 3% to 5% |

|  Net cash provided by operating activities | $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion |
|  Free cash flow | $550 million to $700 million |

---

**<u>Plan to Separate Automotive and Industrial Businesses</u>**

In a separate press release issued today, the company announced its intention to separate into two independent, publicly traded companies, one comprising its Automotive Parts Group ("Global Automotive") and the other comprising its Industrial Parts Group ("Global Industrial"). The separation is expected to create two, scaled market leaders, better able to execute their respective strategies. Please see the press release for additional details.

------

**<u>Non-GAAP Information</u>**

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 gross profit and free cash flow. The company believes that the presentation of adjusted net income, adjusted diluted net income per common share, adjusted gross profit, 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 forward-looking guidance 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 acquisition-related costs, litigation charges or settlements, impairment charges, restructuring costs and certain other unusual adjustments.

**<u>Comparable Sales</u>**

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.

**<u>Conference Call</u>**

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 presentation is also available for reference. Interested parties may listen to the call and view the supplemental earnings presentation on the company's investor relations website. The call is also available by dialing 800-836-8184. A replay of the call will be available on the company's website or toll-free at 888-660-6345 conference ID 67947#, two hours after completion of the call.

*(1)* *Adjustment reflects costs related to the company's global restructuring initiative which includes a voluntary retirement offer in the U.S. in 2024, and rationalization and optimization of certain distribution centers, stores and other facilities.* 

*(2)* *Adjustment primarily reflects lease and other exit costs related to the integration of acquired independent automotive stores.* 

*(3)* *Adjustment reflects a charge to write down certain existing inventory associated with a new global rebranding and relaunch of a key tool and equipment offering. The existing inventory that will be liquidated is comprised of otherwise saleable inventory, and the liquidation does not arise from the company's normal, recurring operational activities.* 

------

*(4)* *Adjustment reflects a remeasurement of the company's asbestos-related product liability for a revised estimate of the number of claims to be incurred in future periods based on adverse current year changes in the claims environment, among other assumptions.* 

*(5)* *Adjustment reflects a pension charge related to the settlement of the company's U.S. qualified defined benefit plan (U.S. pension plan).* 

*(6)* *Adjustment reflects a charge for expected credit losses on volume purchase rebates and other amounts due from First Brands, a key automotive parts supplier who filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.* 

*(7)* *Adjustment reflects a nonroutine charge recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 related to certain asset retirement obligations.* 

*(8)* *We determine the tax effect of non-GAAP adjustments by considering the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdictions of the underlying non-GAAP adjustments, including any related valuation allowances. For the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, we applied the statutory income tax rates to the taxable portion of all of the company's adjustments, which resulted in a tax impact of $287 million and $333 million, respectively. A portion of the company's transaction costs included in its non-GAAP adjustments for the three months and year ended December 31, 2025 were not deductible for income tax purposes; therefore, no statutory income tax rate was applied to such costs.*

**Genuine Parts Company Announces Plan to Separate Automotive and Industrial Businesses Into Two Industry-Leading Public Companies** 

*Separation to Unlock Significant Shareholder Value and Enhance Strategic Clarity, Operational Focus and Financial Performance for Both Companies* 

*Tax-Free Separation Expected to be Completed in the First Quarter of 2027* 

*Company to Announce Further Details Regarding Ongoing Operational and Strategic Initiatives at Investor Days for Global Automotive and Global Industrial in the Second Half of 2026*

ATLANTA– Genuine Parts Company (NYSE: GPC), a leading global service provider of automotive and industrial replacement parts and value-added solutions, announced today its intention to separate the company into two independent, publicly traded companies, one comprising its Automotive Parts Group ("Global Automotive") and the other comprising its Industrial Parts Group ("Global Industrial"). The transaction, which is targeted for completion in the first quarter of 2027, is expected to qualify as a tax-free transaction for U.S. federal tax purposes to Genuine Parts Company shareholders.

"Genuine Parts Company has a proud history of evolving with our markets for nearly a century," said Will Stengel, Chair-Elect and Chief Executive Officer. "Over the past decade, we established leading global footprints in attractive geographies, simplified our business mix and accelerated strategic investments to advance and differentiate our business. Creating two focused, independent companies sharpens customer and market alignment, increases clarity and speed, simplifies operations and enables disciplined, business-specific investments to unlock long-term value."

**Creating Two Industry-Leading Companies** 

The business separation is the result of a comprehensive strategic and operational review of market opportunities, in-flight initiatives and business structure considerations across Global Automotive and Global Industrial.

Pursuing the separation is expected to create two, scaled market leaders, better able to execute their respective strategies by:

• Creating dedicated platforms that improve operating clarity and execution speed at each company to deliver
greater customer value and long-term shareholder returns;

• Establishing separate management teams with tailored expertise, strategies and decision-making authority to
better address customer needs;

• Providing enhanced financial flexibility to enable strategic investments that accelerate profitable growth,
improve productivity and extend market leadership positions;

------

• Allowing each business to design capital structures and capital allocation strategies aligned with specific
business objectives, while targeting investment-grade credit metrics at each company; and

• Enabling each business to attract a long-term investor base through a clear, compelling and differentiated
investment profile.

**Global Automotive: The Largest Global Automotive Aftermarket Solutions Provider** 

Global Automotive is the largest global network of automotive parts and auto care repair centers, operating in North America, Europe, U.K. and Australasia. Going to market under the globally recognized NAPA brand, amongst others, Global Automotive will be a more focused automotive aftermarket platform able to more effectively capitalize on local customer needs and market trends, including significant growth and market share opportunities with the commercial 'do-it-for-me' customer. Through its 100-year legacy, NAPA has earned its leadership position with unmatched customer loyalty built on trusted product quality, deep relationships and a differentiated culture grounded in expertise, service, performance and innovation. Global Automotive's international businesses in Europe and Australasia hold leading market positions and leverage our iconic brands, NAPA and Repco, to expand share in their respective geographies.

Global Automotive generated more than $15 billion in sales, and $1.2 billion of EBITDA in 2025. Global Automotive has a network of more than 10,000 global locations with a significant opportunity in a fragmented $200 billion addressable market driven by non-discretionary demand. The business will continue to benefit from its unique global footprint, including independent owner coverage, dedicated network of over 20,000 NAPA Auto Care repair centers in North America, resilient and growing commercial 'do-it-for-me' end markets and diversified customer segments.

Global Automotive has been executing significant technology and supply chain transformation programs, which are expected to deliver accelerating growth and margin expansion, further optimize working capital and increase return on invested capital. Global Automotive is targeting to maintain investment-grade credit metrics, with a tailored capital structure designed to support future capital investment priorities. Global Automotive will prioritize high-return organic investments across sales and stores, technology, supply chain and accretive bolt-on acquisitions. Global Automotive expects to complement its strategic investments with a balanced capital return program.

**Global Industrial: A Diversified, Best-in-Class Industrial Solutions Provider** 

Global Industrial, operating under the Motion brand, is a market leading diversified industrial distributor and value-added solutions provider with operations in North America and Australasia. The business generated approximately $9 billion in sales, and more than $1.1 billion of EBITDA in 2025. Motion is the market leading provider of 'mission critical' industrial maintenance and repair and value-added solutions including fluid power, automation, conveyance and repair services. Motion maintains deeply embedded customer relationships in over 14 diversified end markets across critical manufacturing sectors. Motion's scale, omni-channel go-to-market strategy and strategic supplier relationships enable its differentiated product offering, including over 10 million SKUs to support its over 180,000 global customers.

Motion is well-positioned to extend its industry leadership position in a fragmented $150 billion global market through its differentiated customer value proposition driven by solution-based selling, technical and product expertise, product breadth, delivery coverage and service excellence. Motion will continue to benefit from long-term secular tailwinds including re-shoring and near-shoring opportunities, automation and robotics, artificial intelligence infrastructure build out and the increasing scarcity of manufacturing technical expertise.

------

Motion expects to build on its track record of delivering best-in-class financial performance with profitable sales growth, strong operating leverage translating into double-digit EBITDA margins, free cash flow generation and attractive returns on invested capital. Motion is targeting to maintain investment-grade credit metrics, with capital allocation priorities focused on investments that enhance the customer experience across commercial excellence, technology and supply chain. Motion will continue to pursue strategic acquisitions and a balanced capital return program.

**Transaction Details** 

There are no changes to the GPC executive team. The company names, executive teams and Boards of Directors for Global Automotive and Global Industrial will be announced at a later date.

The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2027, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions, including final approval from the GPC Board and filing and effectiveness of a Form 10 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The separation does not require shareholder approval.

**Upcoming Investor Days** 

The company plans to host investor days in the second half of 2026 to discuss operational initiatives to accelerate growth and margin expansion at Global Automotive and to provide strategic goals for each business.

**Advisors** 

J.P. Morgan and Guggenheim Securities are serving as financial advisors to GPC, King & Spalding LLP is serving as legal counsel and Collected Strategies is serving as strategic communications advisor.
