ATLANTA, Oct. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Genuine Parts Company (NYSE: GPC) announced today its results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

"The GPC team remained focused on our top priorities through the third quarter, aggressively managing our operations through the challenges of COVID-19. We are proud of everyone's hard work and commitment to operational excellence, which has required effective measures to maintain a safe work environment while also providing first class customer service," said Paul Donahue, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Genuine Parts Company.

Third Quarter 2020 Results

Sales from continuing operations were $4.4 billion, a 3.4% decrease compared to $4.5 billion in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in sales is attributable to a 1.8% decline in comparable sales and a 4.2% impact from divestitures. These items were partially offset by a 1.3% benefit from acquisitions and a 1.3% net impact of foreign currency and other. Excluding divestitures, net sales from continuing operations were up 0.8% in the third quarter[1], which compares to a 10.1% sales decrease in the second quarter.

Net income from continuing operations was $232.9 million, or a diluted earnings per share of $1.61. This compares to net income from continuing operations of $212.3 million, or $1.45 per diluted share in the prior year period. Excluding the impact of restructuring and transaction and other costs, the Company's adjusted net income from continuing operations was $236.8 million, compared to $203.8 million a year ago. On a per share diluted basis, adjusted net income from continuing operations was $1.63, an increase of 17.3% compared to $1.39 per diluted share last year1.

Mr. Donahue stated, "We entered the third quarter focused on driving profitable growth and productivity initiatives for our streamlined Automotive and Industrial portfolio. Our progress for the quarter reflects the resiliency in our businesses and the benefits of these initiatives. Our financial performance was highlighted by strengthening sales trends, continued gross margin expansion, significant cost savings, operating margin expansion in each of our businesses, a stronger balance sheet, enhanced liquidity and substantial cash flows. We were pleased to report a strong financial performance for the quarter."

Third Quarter 2020 Segment Highlights

Automotive Parts Group

Sales for the Automotive Group were $3.0 billion in the third quarter, up 6.0% from 2019 and representing 68% of total company revenues. The increase consisted of an approximate 2.2% increase in comparable sales, a 2.2% net impact of favorable foreign currency and other and a 1.6% benefit from acquisitions. Segment profit of $266 million was up 19.6%, with profit margin at 9.0%, up 100 basis points from 2019.

Industrial Parts Group

Sales for the Industrial Parts Group were $1.4 billion, down 18.6%, or down 8.7% excluding the EIS divestiture, and representing 32% of total company revenues. The decrease in sales and sales excluding divestitures includes an approximate 9.2% decrease in comparable sales, slightly offset by a 0.4% benefit from acquisitions and a favorable foreign currency impact. Segment profit of $126 million was down 8.7%, with profit margin up at 8.9%, up 100 basis points from 20191.

Nine Months 2020 Results

Sales from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $12.3 billion, a 7.2% decrease compared to $13.2 billion for the same period in 2019. Excluding divestitures, net sales from continuing operations were down 2.8% for the nine months. The net loss from continuing operations for the nine months was $8.2 million, or a loss of $0.06 per diluted share. Excluding items which impact comparability with prior periods, as noted above, the Company's adjusted net income from continuing operations was $544.1 million, or $3.76 per diluted share1.

Balance Sheet, Cash Flow and Capital Allocation

The Company generated operating cash flow from continuing operations of $1.4 billion during the first nine months of 2020, a significant increase from the prior year, driven primarily by entering into an agreement to sell accounts receivable which provided $500 million of operating cash flows and the effective management of our working capital. Free cash flow was $1.3 billion for the first nine months of 2020, also up significantly1.

The Company returned $435 million to shareholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, including $339 million in the form of quarterly dividends and $96 million in share repurchases. As previously announced, the Company decided to suspend its share repurchase program and limit its M&A activities to smaller, bolt-on acquisitions until there is greater visibility into the macro environment.

We ended the quarter with $2.8 billion of total liquidity (comprising $1.9 billion availability on the revolving credit facility and $0.9 billion of cash and cash equivalents). The Company reduced debt by $300 million during the quarter and is in compliance with all its debt covenants.

Mr. Donahue concluded, "As we move forward through the balance of 2020, our teams will execute on a number of strategic initiatives to build on the positive momentum of the third quarter. Our plans focus on maximizing the value of our Automotive and Industrial business segments and positioning GPC for sustained long-term growth and improved profitability. We look forward to reporting on our progress in the quarters ahead."

2020 Outlook

On April 6, 2020, the Company withdrew its full-year 2020 guidance due to the economic uncertainty relating to the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic and the limited visibility on the impacts to our businesses. Given the continued lack of visibility, we will not be providing annual guidance updates until macro-economic conditions stabilize further.

Non-GAAP Information

This release contains certain financial information not derived in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These items include changes in sales excluding divestitures, adjusted net (loss) income from continuing operations, adjusted diluted net (loss) income from continuing operations per common share and free cash flow to account for the impact of these adjustments. The Company believes that the presentation of changes in sales excluding divestitures, adjusted net (loss) income from continuing operations, adjusted diluted net (loss) income from continuing operations per common share and free cash flow, which are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, 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 our continuing operations and may distort our longer-term operating trends. We believe these measures are useful and enhance the comparability of our results from period to period and with our 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.

Comparable Sales

Comparable sales is a key metric that refers to period-over-period comparisons of our sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency. 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 in our industry, although our 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.

Daily Sales

Daily sales is a key metric that represents the amounts invoiced to the Company's customers each day. Daily sales do not represent GAAP-based sales because, among other things, invoices are not always generated at the same time goods and services are delivered to customers and the amounts do not include adjustments for estimates of returns, rebates or other forms of variable consideration. Management uses this metric to monitor demand trends at each of its subsidiaries throughout each month for the purposes of monitoring performance against forecasts and to make operational decisions. The Company considers this metric useful to investors because it provides greater transparency into management's view and assessment of the Company's ongoing operations. The calculation of this 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.
