While Specialty was modestly below expectations, the shortfall was more limited, and North America performed in line with the Company\u2019s expectations despite softer market conditions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Company will report full third quarter results on October 29, 2026, and will hold a conference call at that time.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Leadership Changes<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">LKQ today announced the appointment of Salvatore A. Abbate as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective December 15, 2026. He succeeds Justin Jude, who is departing the Company effective today. Until Mr. Abbate assumes the role of President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company has established an interim Office of the Chief Executive Officer to provide ongoing leadership continuity, consisting of John Mendel, Chairman of the Board, and Sue Gove, Chair of LKQ\u2019s Audit Committee. The Office of the Chief Executive Officer will work closely with LKQ\u2019s leadership team in overseeing the Company\u2019s operations during the interim period.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">(1)\u00a0References in this release to Net (loss) income and Diluted (loss) earnings per share, and the corresponding adjusted figures, reflect amounts from continuing operations attributable to LKQ stockholders.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">(2) Non-GAAP measure. See the table accompanying this release that reconciles the actual or forecasted U.S. GAAP measure to the actual or forecasted adjusted measure, which is non-GAAP.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Also effective today, Andy Hamilton is departing his role as President and Managing Director of LKQ Europe. The Board has engaged Alvarez &amp; Marsal (\u201cA&amp;M\u201d) to advise the Company on its European operations, with an initial focus on improving customer service levels, stabilizing operations and strengthening performance and cost discipline across the region.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cLKQ\u2019s performance, particularly in Europe, has fallen significantly short of the Board\u2019s expectations, and the Board is taking decisive action to address it,\u201d said John Mendel, Chairman of the Board. \u201cWe have strong conviction in LKQ\u2019s business and its potential to create significant value for shareholders. Sal is a proven operator with a track record of driving performance in complex distribution businesses, and A&amp;M brings deep experience in operational improvement. Together with LKQ\u2019s talented teams, we are focused on improving execution and delivering improved results for our stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Withdrawal of Full-Year 2026 Guidance<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Considering the third quarter results in Europe and the appointment of Mr. Abbate as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective December 15, 2026, LKQ is withdrawing its full-year 2026 guidance, which was most recently updated on July 30, 2026.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>Strategic Review Update<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">In connection with the Board\u2019s ongoing review of strategic alternatives, the Company has taken several actions, including appointing Mr. Abbate as the Company\u2019s next President and Chief Executive Officer, implementing leadership changes within its European operations, and retaining A&amp;M to advise the Company with respect to its European operations.

Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as we believe these measures are useful for evaluating the core operating performance of our continuing business across reporting periods and in analyzing our historical operating results. We define Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share as Net Income and Loss and Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share adjusted to eliminate the impact of net income and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, income and loss from discontinued operations, restructuring and transaction related expenses, amortization expense related to all acquired intangible assets, gains and losses on debt extinguishment, changes in fair value of contingent consideration liabilities, other gains and losses related to acquisitions, equity method investments, or divestitures, impairment charges, direct impacts of the Ukraine\/Russia conflict, excess tax benefits and deficiencies from stock-based payments and any tax effect of these adjustments. The tax effect of these adjustments is calculated using the effective tax rate for the applicable period or for certain discrete items the specific tax expense or benefit for the adjustment. These financial measures are used by management in its decision making and overall evaluation of our operating performance and are included in the metrics used to determine incentive compensation for our senior management. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share should not be construed as alternatives to Net Income and Loss or Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report measures similar to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share 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.<\/p>\n<p align=\"start\">\n        <strong>Forward-Looking Statements<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Statements and information in this press release 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 \u201csafe harbor\u201d provisions of such Act.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our outlook, expectations, beliefs, hopes, intentions and strategies.
