The segment saw a strong performance with sales of $2.2 billion in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting a strategic focus on operational efficiency and market expansion.
GPC’s financial stability is underscored by its robust performance in the fiscal year, reporting sales of $23.1 billion for the year ending December 31, 2023. This represents a 4.5% increase compared to 2022. The company generated $1.4 billion in cash flow from operations over the same period, ending the year with $2.6 billion in total liquidity. GPC’s ongoing investments in supply chain, technology, and acquisitions, as well as its commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, highlight its balanced approach to growth and shareholder value.
Under the leadership of Chairman and CEO Paul Donahue, GPC continues to focus on strategic initiatives such as the One GPC Team approach, which drives productivity and efficiency across global operations. With a team of over 60,000 employees, the company remains dedicated to serving its customers and maintaining its competitive edge through innovation and strategic acquisitions, like the recent purchase of Recambios y Accesorios Gaudí in Spain.
