ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On September 24, 2008, representatives of LKQ Corporation will make a presentation at the Deutsche Bank Leveraged Finance Conference using slides that are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.

 

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information set forth in Exhibit 99, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

The financial data contained in the presentation includes earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and provides a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

 

We have presented EBITDA as we believe it provides investors, security analysts and other interested parties useful information regarding our results of operations, because it assists in analyzing our performance and the value of our business.  EBITDA provides insight into our profitability trends and allows management and investors to analyze our operating results with and without the impact of depreciation, amortization, interest and income tax expense.  We believe EBITDA is used by security analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies, many of which present EBITDA when reporting their results.
