Total net sales for the second quarter increased by 3.4% year-over-year to $6.16 billion, driven by a 2.6% contribution from acquisitions and a favorable foreign currency impact of 0.6%. The automotive segment saw a 5.0% increase in sales, reaching $3.91 billion, while the industrial segment reported a modest 0.7% growth to $2.25 billion. However, comparable sales remained flat, reflecting ongoing challenges in the macroeconomic environment, including inflation and trade uncertainties.
The company undertook several strategic initiatives during the period, including a global restructuring plan initiated in February 2024, which resulted in $100 million in restructuring costs for the first half of 2025. GPC also completed acquisitions totaling approximately $211 million in the first half of 2025, contributing to its revenue growth. The company’s gross profit increased by 6.6% in the second quarter, with gross margin improving by 110 basis points to 37.7%, attributed to successful pricing and sourcing strategies.
Operationally, GPC's employee headcount and customer engagement metrics were not disclosed in the filing. However, the company reported a significant increase in accounts receivable and inventory, reflecting a 19.1% and 4.7% rise, respectively, from the end of 2024, driven by increased revenues and product demand. The company ended the quarter with $458 million in cash and cash equivalents and $4.8 billion in total debt, which increased by 12.2% from the previous year.
Looking ahead, GPC remains cautious about the economic landscape, particularly regarding the impact of new trade tariffs and inflationary pressures. The company is focused on executing its strategic initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and drive growth, while also maintaining a strong liquidity position to support future investments.
