Peer Group Issuers, Footnote     The peer group reflects the peer group composite index used in the Stock Performance Graph included in our Annual Report. In constructing this peer group, the Company used the shareholder returns of various publicly held companies (weighted in accordance with each company’s stock market capitalization and including reinvestment of dividends) that compete with the Company in its two industry segments: automotive parts and industrial parts (each group of companies included in the peer group as competing with the Company in a separate industry segment). Included in the automotive parts peer group are those companies making up the Dow Jones U.S. Auto Parts Index (the Company is a member of such industry group, and its individual shareholder return was included when calculating the peer group results). Included in the industrial parts peer group are Applied Industrial Technologies, Inc., Fastenal Company, and W.W. Grainger, Inc. In determining the total peer group, each industry segment was weighted to reflect the Company’s annual net sales in each industry segment.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure    
As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain financial performance of the Company. The following table sets forth information regarding compensation for our principal executive officer and average compensation related to our other named executive officers versus our Company performance for the past four years.
Total shareholder return assumes that $100 was invested on the measurement date in Genuine Parts Company common stock and the peer group as set forth below. The measurement date is established by the market close on the last trading day before the beginning of the Company's fifth preceding fiscal year. This shareholder return assumes reinvestment of all dividends.Reflects net income as shown in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
Financial Performance Measures
As described in detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program consists of several compensation elements reflecting the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, including equity compensation which is directly tied to the returns experienced by our shareholders.
The most important financial performance measures used to link compensation actually paid to the Company’s named executive officers with the Company’s performance for 2025 are as follows:
•Total Shareholder Return
•Adjusted Earnings per Share ("EPS")
•Net Sales
•Working Capital
Analysis of the Information Presented in the Pay versus Performance Table
As described in more detail in the section “Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Company’s executive compensation program reflects a variable pay-for-performance philosophy. While the Company utilizes several performance measures to align executive compensation with Company performance, all of those Company measures are not presented in the Pay versus Performance table. Moreover, the Company generally seeks to incentivize long-term performance, and therefore does not specifically align the Company’s performance measures with compensation that is actually paid (as computed in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) for a particular year. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the Pay versus Performance table.
The charts below reflect the relationship among compensation actually paid compared to the Company's total shareholder return and peer group total shareholder return, net income, and adjusted EBITDA over the past five fiscal years. Compensation actually paid reflects the value of outstanding performance-based grants at specified fiscal year ends and does not have a direct comparison to performance trends.
