Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

During the Genuine Parts Company second-quarter 2025 earnings call, the company provided updated guidance for the year, citing several key metrics and adjustments. The company reported total sales of $6.2 billion, representing a 3.4% increase from the previous year. Gross margin improved by 110 basis points due to strategic pricing and sourcing initiatives. However, the global automotive segment saw a 110 basis point decrease in EBITDA margin, impacted by rising costs in salaries, rent, and freight. The industrial segment, on the other hand, achieved a 10 basis point increase in EBITDA margin. Genuine Parts revised its full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance to a range of $7.50 to $8.00, down from the previously expected $7.75 to $8.25, due to tariffs and moderated growth expectations. The company anticipates low single-digit pricing benefits and cost increases due to tariffs for the remainder of the year. Despite these challenges, the company remains focused on strategic initiatives, with expectations of generating $1.1 billion to $1.3 billion in cash from operations and $700 million to $900 million in free cash flow.
