GENUINE PARTS COMPANY
REPORTS RECORD SALES UP 12% AND
RECORD EARNINGS PER SHARE UP 23%
FOR THE SECOND QUARTER
ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
Atlanta, Georgia, July 15, 2011 — Genuine Parts Company (NYSE: GPC) reported sales and earnings for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011. Thomas C. Gallagher, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, announced today that sales totaling $3.2 billion were up 12% compared to the second quarter of 2010. Net income for the quarter was $151.8 million, an increase of 22% from $124.5 million recorded in the same period of the previous year. Earnings per share on a diluted basis were 96 cents, up 23% compared to 78 cents for the second quarter last year.
In reviewing the quarter, Mr. Gallagher commented, “We are especially pleased to report record sales and earnings for the second quarter. The Automotive Group produced another period of solid growth, with sales up 9% for the third consecutive quarter. We remain encouraged by the ongoing positive impact of our sales initiatives and the sound fundamentals of the aftermarket. Our Industrial and Electrical businesses continue to produce the strongest growth among our four business segments. Sales for Motion Industries, our Industrial Group, reached the $1 billion mark for the first time in their history and were up 19% in the quarter. EIS, our Electrical Group, generated a 28% sales increase. Both Motion Industries and EIS sell into the manufacturing sector of the economy, which continues to perform well today. S.P. Richards, our Office Products Group, showed a 4% sales increase for the quarter, marking their third consecutive period of sales growth, despite the continued moderation in demand in the office products industry. We believe this positive sales trend reflects the ongoing benefits of their internal growth initiatives.”
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, sales totaled $6.2 billion, up 13% compared to the same period in 2010. Net income for the six months was $278.3 million, an increase of 24% from the same period in 2010. Earnings per share on a diluted basis were $1.76, up 24% compared to $1.42 for the same period last year.
Mr. Gallagher added, “In addition to these fine results for the quarter and six months, our balance
sheet as of June 30, 2011 remains in excellent condition. We ended the period with cash of $517
million and we continue to generate strong cash flows as a result of our working capital, asset
management and cost
reduction initiatives. Our priorities for cash include the dividends paid to shareholders,
the ongoing reinvestment back into each of our four businesses, strategic acquisitions and share
repurchases.”
Mr. Gallagher concluded, “We are encouraged by the sales and earnings growth achieved in the second quarter and for the first six months in 2011. We also remain optimistic that our businesses will show continued progress over the balance of the year. Our management team remains committed to sustaining good revenue growth, further improving operating margins, generating solid cash flows and maintaining a strong balance sheet.”
