Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies and methods of application as the Company's most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements. The following accounting policy was applied during the interim period as a result of the completed transaction to jointly provide vehicle parts dismantling and distribution services through the newly created venture LKQ SYNETIQ. Refer to Note 14 for further details. Equity Method Investments The Company accounts for investments which it does not control, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee through majority ownership, by applying the equity method of accounting pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 323, Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company's share of income and losses of equity method investees and impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated income statements during the period that they are incurred. The Company presents distributions received from equity method investees in the consolidated statements of cash flows based on the cumulative earnings approach. Following the cumulative earnings approach, when cumulative distributions less distributions received in prior periods that were deemed returns of investment are in excess of cumulative equity earnings, such excess is considered a return of investment and classified as cash flows from investing activities. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment when events or circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of the investment may be impaired. An impairment loss on an equity method investment is recognized as a component of operating income when a decline in its value is determined to be other-than-temporary. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which will require enhanced annual disclosures within rate reconciliations and disaggregated income taxes paid information. The amendments are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which will require disaggregated disclosure of specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements. The amendments are effective for the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and interim periods in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2028. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact that the above pronouncements may have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
