Item 8.01
Other Events.
LKQ Corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose certain recast prior period financial information resulting from our adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”), effective January 1, 2018. While this information is not required to be reflected in the footnotes to our full year financial statements until the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K for 2018, we are providing the disclosure of the recast financial information at this time in connection with the filing by us under the Securities Act of 1933 of an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and a post-effective amendment to an acquisition shelf registration statement on Form S-4.
ASU 2016-15 includes guidance on classification for the following items: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero coupon bonds, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims and corporate-owned or bank-owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and other separately identifiable cash flows where application of the predominance principle is prescribed. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 had no impact on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows within our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, and no adjustments were required in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017; however, we began presenting a new line item, Payments of deferred purchase price on receivables securitization, in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows contained in Note 16, "Condensed Consolidating Financial Information," beginning with our Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018. As part of our adoption of ASU 2016-15, prior year cash flow information within this footnote was recast to reflect the impact of adopting this accounting standard.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 does not reflect the immaterial impact on prior periods of adopting ASU 2016-15, which had the effect on the information set forth in Note 16, "Condensed Consolidating Financial Information," of decreasing cash flows from operating activities and increasing cash flows from investing activities by $48.2 million, $128.1 million and $21.6 million for the guarantor entities in the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, with corresponding updates to the Eliminations. The cash flow information in Note 16, "Condensed Consolidating Financial Information" for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, as updated to reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-15, is presented in Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.
