ATLANTA, July 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Genuine Parts
Company (NYSE: GPC) announced today sales and earnings for the second quarter and six months ended June
30, 2017.
Sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017 were $4.1
billion, a new record and a 5% increase compared to $3.9 billion for the same period in
2016. Net income for the second quarter was $190.0 million compared to $191.4 million recorded for the same period in the previous year. Earnings per share on a diluted basis
were $1.29, up 1% from $1.28 for the second quarter last
year.
Paul Donahue, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are encouraged by the
steady and consistent total sales increase thus far in 2017, which reflects the diversified aspects of our Company combined with
an ongoing strategy to drive both organic and acquisitive growth. This represents our second consecutive quarter of 5%
total sales growth for the Company and includes sales increases in each of our four distribution businesses, with our strongest
performances in the Industrial and Electrical segments."
Second quarter sales for the Automotive Group were up 4%, including an approximate 1.5% comparable sales increase. Sales
at Motion Industries, our Industrial Group, were up 7%, including a 5% comparable sales increase, and sales at EIS, our
Electrical/Electronic Group, grew 11%, with comparable sales down 1%. Sales for S.P.
Richards, our Office Products Group, were up 5% for the quarter, including a 4% decrease in comparable sales.
Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $8.0 billion,
also a new record and a 5% increase compared to $7.6 billion for the same period in 2016. Net
income for the six months was $350.1 million compared to $349.4
million in 2016, and earnings per share on a diluted basis were $2.36, up 1% compared to
$2.33 in 2016.
Mr. Donahue concluded, "Our teams are committed to generating sustainable sales growth, while also streamlining our cost
structure to improve profitability. We believe our focus in these areas, along with a strong balance sheet, solid cash
flows and effective capital allocation, will drive long-term growth for the Company and serve to maximize shareholder value."
2017 Outlook
For the full year 2017, the Company continues to expect total sales to be up 3% to 4%. The Company expects diluted
