The company reported fourth-quarter revenue growth of 3.3% year-on-year to $5.77 billion, beating the analyst <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/02/n43776670/genuine-parts-company-reports-fourth-quarter-and-full-year-2024-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">consensus estimate of $5.71 billion</a>.
The increase was driven by a 3.2% benefit from acquisitions, a net 0.6% favorable impact of foreign currency and other, partially offset by a 0.5% decrease in comparable sales.
Automotive Parts Group sales grew 6.1% Y/Y. Segment&nbsp;EBITDA of&nbsp;$285 million decreased 6.2%, with segment EBITDA margin of 7.8%, down 100 basis points from the same period of the prior year.
Sales for the Industrial Parts Group declined 1.2%. Segment&nbsp;EBITDA of&nbsp;$271 million&nbsp;decreased 4.3% with segment EBITDA margin of 12.9%, down 40 basis points year over year.
Adjusted EPS of $1.61 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beat the consensus estimate of $1.55.</a>
Gross profit increased 1.8% Y/Y to $2.1 billion. Selling, administrative and other expenses were $1.69 billion, an 11.5% rise Y/Y.
Cash and equivalents totaled $479.9 million as of December 31. Net cash generated from operating activities for the twelve months totaled $1.25 billion.
The company&#8217;s Board of Directors approved a 3% increase in its regular quarterly cash dividend for 2025 from $1.00 to $1.03&nbsp;per share, which is payable&nbsp;April 2, 2025,&nbsp;to shareholders of record&nbsp;March 7, 2025.
Due to expanded restructuring program, the company will incur about $150 million&nbsp;to&nbsp;$180 million&nbsp;in 2025, which will continue to be reported as a non-recurring expense.
&#8220;While the year presented challenges due to macroeconomic conditions and softer end-market demand, we remained focused on controlling what we could—advancing our strategic initiatives to strengthen the business and effectively managing our operations,&#8221; said President and CEO Will Stengel.
Outlook: Genuine Parts sees FY25 revenue growth of 2% – 4%. The company expects FY25 adjusted EPS of $7.75 – $8.25 versus the consensus of $8.29.
The company sees FY25 free cash flow of $800 million – $1.0 billion and an operating cash flow of $1.2 billion – $1.4 billion.
