NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Genuine Parts Company (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or “its”) for the year ended December 31, 2021. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures herein should be read in conjunction with our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Significant accounting policies and other items disclosed in our Annual Report have been omitted from this report because they have not changed.
The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we make estimates and assumptions in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for inventory adjustments, the accrual of bad debts, credit losses on guaranteed loans, customer sales returns, and volume incentives earned, among others. Inventory adjustments (including adjustments for a majority of inventories that are valued under the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method) are accrued on an interim basis and adjusted in the fourth quarter based on the annual book to physical inventory adjustment and LIFO valuation. Reserves for bad debts, credit losses on guaranteed loans and customer sales returns are estimated and accrued on an interim basis based on a consideration of historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Volume incentives are estimated based upon cumulative and projected purchasing levels.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods have been made. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. We have reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results for the year ended December 31, 2022. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements covered by this quarterly report were issued.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs and have determined that any recently adopted accounting pronouncements did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs. This standard requires disclosure of the key terms of outstanding supply chain finance programs and a rollforward of the related amounts due to vendors participating in these programs. The new standard does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of any amounts due. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of 2023, except for the rollforward, which is effective in the first quarter of 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the adoption of this new guidance.
Debt
1.750 % and 2.750 % Senior Notes Offering
On January 6, 2022, we issued $ 500 million of unsecured 1.750 % Senior Notes due 2025. Simultaneously, we issued $ 500 million of unsecured 2.750 % Senior Notes due 2032. For both offerings, interest is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2022.
We utilized the proceeds from these offerings to repay borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, which were incurred to finance a significant portion of the Kaman Distribution Group ("KDG") acquisition.

Derivatives and Hedging
We are exposed to various risks arising from business operations and market conditions, including fluctuations in interest rates and certain foreign currencies. When deemed appropriate, we use derivative and non-derivative instruments as risk management tools to mitigate the potential impact of interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks. The objective of using these tools is to reduce fluctuations in our earnings and cash flows associated with changes in these rates. Derivative instruments are recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and are designated as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. They are valued using inputs other than quoted prices, such as foreign exchange rates and yield curves.
The following table summarizes the classification and carrying amounts of derivative instruments and the foreign currency denominated debt, a non-derivative financial instrument, that are designated and qualify as part of hedging relationships (in thousands):

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
As of September 30, 2022 the fair value of our senior unsecured notes was approximately $ 2.8 billion, which are designated as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Our valuation technique is based primarily on prices and other relevant information generated by observable transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Guarantees
We guarantee the borrowings of certain independently controlled automotive parts stores and businesses (“independents”) and certain other affiliates in which we have a noncontrolling equity ownership interest (“affiliates”). While such borrowings of the independents and affiliates are outstanding, we are required to maintain compliance with certain covenants. At September 30, 2022, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
As of September 30, 2022, the total borrowings of the independents and affiliates subject to guarantee by us were approximately $ 908 million. These loans generally mature over periods from one to six years . We regularly monitor the performance of these loans and the ongoing operating results, financial condition and ratings from credit rating

agencies of the independents and affiliates that participate in the guarantee programs. In the event that we are required to make payments in connection with these guarantees, we would obtain and liquidate certain collateral pledged by the independents or affiliates (e.g., accounts receivable and inventory) to recover all or a substantial portion of the amounts paid under the guarantees. We recognize a liability equal to current expected credit losses over the lives of the loans in the guaranteed loan portfolio, based on a consideration of historical experience, current conditions, the nature and expected value of any collateral, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. To date, we have not had significant losses in connection with guarantees of independents’ and affiliates’ borrowings and the current expected credit loss reserve is not material. As of September 30, 2022, there are no material guaranteed loans for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and recovery is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral.
As of September 30, 2022, we have recognized certain assets and liabilities amounting to $ 74 million each for the guarantees related to the independents’ and affiliates’ borrowings. These assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities relate to our noncontingent obligation to stand ready to perform under the guarantee programs and they are distinct from our current expected credit loss reserve.
Earnings Per Share
We maintain various long-term incentive plans, which provide for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance awards, dividend equivalents and other share-based awards. Certain outstanding options are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

3. Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement
Under our accounts receivable sales agreement (the "A/R Sales Agreement"), we continuously sell designated pools of receivables as they are originated by us and certain U.S. subsidiaries to a separate bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (“SPE”). The A/R Sales Agreement has a three year term, which we intend to renew.
We continue to be involved with the receivables transferred by the SPE to the unaffiliated financial institution by providing collection services. As cash is collected on sold receivables, the SPE continuously transfers ownership and control of new qualifying receivables to the unaffiliated financial institution so that the total principal amount outstanding of receivables sold is approximately $ 1 billion at any point in time (which is the maximum amount allowed under the agreement as amended on January 3, 2022).
11
Table of Contents
The total principal amount outstanding of receivables sold is approximately $ 1.0 billion and $ 800 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The amount of receivables pledged as collateral as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is approximately $ 1.1 billion and $ 973 million, respectively.
The following table summarizes the activity and amounts outstanding under the A/R Sales Agreement as of:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021
Receivables sold to the financial institution and derecognized $ 2,281,934 $ 1,884,023 $ 6,760,652 $ 5,700,895
Cash collected on sold receivables $ 2,281,926 $ 1,884,028 $ 6,560,655 $ 5,700,896
Continuous cash activity related to the A/R Sales Agreement is reflected in net cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The SPE incurs fees due to the unaffiliated financial institution related to the accounts receivable sales transactions. Those fees, which are immaterial, are recorded within other non-operating expense (income) in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The SPE has a recourse obligation to repurchase from the unaffiliated financial institution any previously sold receivables that are not collected due to the occurrence of certain events, including credit quality deterioration and customer sales returns. The reserve recognized for this recourse obligation as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 is not material. The servicing liability related to our collection services also is not material, given the high quality of the customers underlying the receivables and the anticipated short collection period.
4. Employee Benefit Plans
Net periodic benefit income from our pension plans included the following components for our pension benefits:

Service cost is recorded in selling, administrative and other expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income while all other components are recorded within other non-operating expense (income). Pension benefits also include amounts related to supplemental retirement plans.
5. Acquisitions
We acquired several businesses, including KDG, for approximately $ 1.6 billion, net of cash acquired, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, acquisitions totaled $ 143 million, net of cash acquired.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized approximately $ 408 million and $ 818 million of revenue, net of store closures, related to our Automotive and Industrial acquisitions, respectively. The results of operations for acquired businesses are included in our condensed consolidated statements of income beginning on their respective acquisition dates.
For each acquisition, we allocate the purchase price to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed based on their fair values as of their respective acquisition dates. Excluding KDG, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, we recorded approximately $ 200 million and $ 97 million of goodwill and other intangible assets associated with acquisitions. Other intangible assets acquired consisted primarily of customer relationships with a weighted average amortization lives of 20 years.

Table of Contents
KDG Acquisition
On January 3, 2022, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Motion Industries, Inc., acquired all of the equity interests in KDG for a purchase price of approximately $ 1.3 billion in cash. KDG, which is headquartered in Bloomfield, Connecticut, is a power transmission, automation and fluid power industrial distributor and solutions provider with operations throughout the United States, providing electro-mechanical products, bearings, power transmission, motion control and electrical and fluid power components to MRO and OEM customers. KDG has approximately 1,700 employees with approximately 220 locations across the United States and Puerto Rico. As of January 3, 2022, KDG had estimated annual revenues of approximately $ 1 billion.
The net cash consideration transferred of approximately $ 1.3 billion is net of the estimated cash acquired of approximately $ 30 million.
The KDG acquisition was financed using a combination of borrowings under the existing unsecured revolving credit facility, proceeds of $ 200 million from the selling of additional receivables under our amended A/R Sales Agreement and $ 109 million of cash.
The following table summarizes the preliminary, estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as adjustments made to the acquisition accounting during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (referred to as the "measurement period adjustments"). The measurement period adjustments primarily resulted from revisions to the valuation of certain tangible and intangible assets. The fair value of the acquired identifiable intangible assets is provisional pending completion of the final valuations for these assets. We are in the process of analyzing the estimated values of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including, among other things, obtaining valuations of certain tangible and intangible assets, as well as the fair value of certain contracts and the determination of certain tax balances. Additional adjustments may be made to the acquisition accounting during the measurement period primarily related to intangible asset revaluations, tax accounting and leases.
As of January 3, 2022

Total liabilities assumed 294,000 ( 15,000 ) 279,000
Net assets acquired $ 1,309,000 $ 3,000 $ 1,312,000
The other intangible assets acquired included $ 527 million of customer relationship intangibles and a $ 41 million favorable trade name licensing agreement, with amortization lives of 17 and 1.5 years, respectively. The other intangible assets have a total weighted amortization life of 16 years.
The goodwill was assigned to the Industrial segment and is attributable primarily to expected synergies and the assembled workforce. Approximately $ 261 million of the estimated goodwill recognized as part of the KDG acquisition is expected to be tax deductible.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, approximately $ 5 million of inventory amortization step-up cost related to this acquisition was included in cost of goods sold. Further, $ 49 million of transaction and other one-time

costs, inclusive of the impairment charge described below, were included in selling, administrative, and other expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.
In June 2022, we incurred a $ 17 million non-cash impairment charge related to our decision to retire certain legacy Industrial trade names, classified as other intangible assets, prior to the end of their estimated useful lives as part of the KDG integration and rebranding strategy. We evaluate other intangible assets for potential impairment indicators annually or more frequently if circumstances change.

The AOCL components related to the pension benefits are included in the computation of net periodic benefit income in the employee benefit plans footnote. Generally, tax effects in AOCL are established at the currently enacted tax rate and reclassified to net income in the same period that the related pre-tax AOCL reclassifications are recognized.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. There have been no significant developments to the information presented in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K with respect to litigation or commitments and contingencies.
Environmental Liabilities
Item 103 of SEC Regulation S-K requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we reasonably believe will exceed an applied threshold not to exceed $1 million. Applying this threshold, there are no environmental matters to disclose for this period.

Overview
Genuine Parts Company is a service organization engaged in the global distribution of automotive and industrial replacement parts. We have a long tradition of growth dating back to 1928, the year we were founded in Atlanta, Georgia. We conduct business in North America, Europe and Australasia from a network of more than 10,300 locations.
At Genuine Parts Company, our mission is to be a world-class service organization and the employer of choice, supplier of choice, valued customer of choice and investment of choice - we keep the world moving! This is our purpose and the foundation of how we do business. Additionally, we strive to be a respected business community member and a good corporate citizen. Our strategic financial objectives are intended to align with our mission and drive value for all our stakeholders. Our strategic financial objectives include: (1) top line revenue growth in excess of market growth; (2) improved operating margin; (3) strong balance sheet and cash flows; and (4) effective capital allocation.
Our Automotive Parts Group operated in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, France, the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Australia and New Zealand as of September 30, 2022, and accounted for 62% of total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our Industrial Parts Group operated in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia and Singapore. The Industrial Parts Group accounted for 38% of our total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Key Business Metrics - Comparable Sales
We consider comparable sales, which refers to period-over-period comparisons of our net sales excluding the impact of acquisitions, foreign currency and other, to be a key business metric. Management uses comparable sales to evaluate the results of operations and we believe that this key indicator provides additional perspective and insights when analyzing the operating performance of our business from period to period and trends in its historical operating results. While this metric is widely used by industry stakeholders, our calculation of the metric may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other companies, because not all companies and analysts calculate this metric in the same manner. This metric should not be considered superior to, as a substitute for or as an alternative to, and should be considered in conjunction with, the GAAP financial measures presented in this report.
Results of Operations
Overview
Our Automotive Parts Group and Industrial Parts Group both reported strong sales and segment profit growth during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same prior year period. Our Industrial Parts Group also benefited from the January 2022 acquisition of KDG. We expect this strategic and highly synergistic acquisition to significantly enhance our scale and to strengthen our market leading position in industrial solutions. Additionally both businesses continued to be highly effective in managing the impacts of inflationary pressures, a dynamic geopolitical landscape and ongoing supply chain challenges, all of which we expect to continue throughout the remainder of the year.
Sales
Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $5.7 billion, a 17.8% increase compared to $4.8 billion for the same period of the prior year. The increase in sales is attributable to a 12.7% increase in comparable sales and a 9.1% benefit from acquisitions, slightly offset by a net unfavorable impact of foreign currency and other of 4.0%. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $16.6 billion, a 17.8% increase compared to $14.1 billion for the same period of the prior year. The increase in sales is due to a 12.1% increase in comparable sales, a 8.7% benefit from acquisitions, slightly offset by a 3.0% net unfavorable impact of foreign currency and other. The increase in comparable sales reflects the benefits of price increases to offset higher product costs and other inflationary pressures and, to a lesser extent, continued increase in consumer activity when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. We continue to execute our strategic pricing and other sales initiatives to mitigate product and other inflationary cost pressures.
Sales for the Automotive Parts Group increased 8.9% and 9.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year. This group's revenue increase for the three months ended September 30, 2022 consisted of an approximate 9.2% increase in comparable sales driven by price increases to offset higher product costs and other inflationary pressures and strong demand. The overall sales increase also included a 5.3% benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by a 5.6% net unfavorable impact of foreign currency and other. This group's revenue increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2022

consisted of an approximate 9.3% increase in comparable sales and 4.4% benefit from acquisitions, partially offset by a 4.3% net unfavorable impact from foreign currency and other compared to the same period in 2021.
Sales for the Industrial Parts Group increased 35.3% and 34.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021. The increases for both periods reflect benefits of approximately 17% and primarily from the acquisition of KDG and increases of 19.6% and 17.9% in comparable sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Our Industrial Parts Group continues to benefit from the ongoing execution of our pricing, supply chain and other strategic initiatives and the continued resilience and expansion in the industrial economy, which is evident in indicators such as the Purchasing Managers Index and Industrial Production Index.
Cost of Goods Sold and Operating Expenses
Cost of goods sold includes the total cost of merchandise sold, including freight expenses associated with moving merchandise from our suppliers to our distribution centers, retail stores and branches, as well as supplier volume incentives and inventory adjustments.
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $3.7 billion, an 18.9% increase from $3.1 billion for the same period in 2021. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold was 65.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 64.5% for the same period in 2021. As a result, gross margin declined to 34.9% from 35.5% for the same period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cost of goods sold was $10.8 billion, an 18.4% increase from $9.1 billion for the same nine month period in 2021. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold was 65.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to 64.9% for the same period in 2021. As a result, gross margin declined to 34.8% from 35.1% in the same period in 2021.
The decreases in gross margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was driven primarily by the impact of supplier incentives as compared to the same period in 2021, unfavorable foreign exchange, and a business mix shift due to the increased sales from our Industrial Parts Group. This decline was partially offset by the ongoing favorable impact of strategic category management and pricing initiatives in our business.
Our operating expenses are substantially comprised of compensation and benefit-related costs for personnel. Other major expense categories include facility occupancy costs for headquarters, distribution centers and retail store/branch operations, transportation and delivery costs, technology and digital costs, accounting, legal and professional services, insurance costs, and travel and advertising.
Total operating expenses increased 9.6% to $1.6 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.4 billion for the same three month period in 2021. As a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 27.3% compared to 29.4% for same three month period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, these expenses totaled $4.5 billion, compared to $4.1 billion for the same period in 2021, and as a percentage of net sales, operating expenses decreased to 27.2% compared to 29.3% for the same nine month period in 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 operating expenses included $57 million of transaction and other costs associated with the KDG acquisition, inclusive of a non-cash impairment charge of $17 million from the retirement of certain legacy trade names that will no longer be used as result of the on-going KDG integration. The increase in total operating expenses for the nine month period was partially offset by a one-time benefit of $103 million from a gain on the sale of real estate that had been leased to S.P. Richards. The overall decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net sales for the period is primarily related to improved leverage on stronger sales and cost control initiatives.
Segment Profit
The Automotive Parts Group's segment profit increased 10.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021, and its segment profit margin improved to 8.9% compared to 8.8% for the same period of the previous year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, segment profit increased 11.0% compared to the same period of the prior year, and segment profit margin increased to 8.8% compared to 8.6% for the same period in 2021. These improvements in segment profit and segment profit margin, despite inflationary headwinds, reflect strong operating results in all geographical regions, driven primarily by strong sales demand and the execution of our strategic growth and operating initiatives around supply chain, pricing and technology.
The Industrial Parts Group's segment profit increased 46.3% and 48.7% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2021, primarily driven by the acquisition of KDG. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, this group's segment profit margin increased to 11.1% and 10.4%, respectively, compared to 10.3% and 9.4%, respectively, for the same periods of the previous year. These improved segment profit margins are primarily due to the benefit of strong sales growth and strategic initiatives in areas such as supply chain, category management and pricing.

Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 25.3% compared to 23.5% for the same three month period in 2021. The rate increase is primarily due to geographic income mix shifts with a higher percentage in international.

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 24.7% compared to 24.8%, for the same period in 2021. The rate decrease is primarily due to a prior year United Kingdom rate change that required deferred tax asset and liability remeasurement increasing the 2021 comparative rate, which was partially offset by geographic income mix shifts.
Net Income
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net income was $312 million, an increase of 36.6% compared to net income of $229 million for the same three month period of the prior year. On a per share diluted basis, net income was $2.20, an increase of 38.4% compared to $1.59 for the same three month period of 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income was $931 million, an increase of 44.8% compared to net income of $643 million for the same nine month period in 2021. On a per share diluted basis, net income was $6.53, an increase of 47.1% compared to $4.44 for the same nine month period of the prior year.
For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net income on an adjusted basis was $317 million, an increase of 17.3% compared to adjusted net income of $270 million for the same three month period of the prior year. On a per share basis, net income on an adjusted diluted basis was $2.23 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 18.6% compared to $1.88 for the same three month period of 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income on an adjusted basis was $896 million, an increase of 21.0% compared to adjusted net income of $741 million for the same nine month period of the prior year. On a per share basis, net income on an adjusted diluted basis was $6.29 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of 22.9% compared to $5.12 for the same nine month period of 2021. Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are both non-GAAP measures (see table below for reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures).
The growth in net income and adjusted net income in all periods presented reflects strong operating results in both of our segments, driven primarily by strong sales demand, the benefits of key acquisitions (including KDG), and the execution of our strategic growth initiatives, despite inflationary and other macroeconomic headwinds.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income and diluted net income per common share to adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per common share to account for the impact of these adjustments. We believe that the presentation of adjusted net income and adjusted diluted net income per common share, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to those measures, provide meaningful supplemental information to both management and investors that is indicative of our core operations. We consider these metrics useful to investors because they provide greater transparency into management’s view and assessment of our ongoing operating performance by removing items management believes are not representative of our operations and may distort our longer-term operating trends. We believe these measures are useful and enhance the comparability of our results from period to period and with our competitors, as well as show ongoing results from operations distinct from items that are infrequent or not associated with our core operations. We do not, nor do we suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures, as superior to, in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP financial information.

(5)    Adjustment primarily reflects costs associated with the January 3, 2022 acquisition and integration of KDG. These costs also include a $17 million impairment charge driven by a decision to retire certain legacy trade names, classified as other intangible assets, prior to the end of their estimated useful lives as part of executing our KDG integration and rebranding strategy. Refer to the acquisition footnote for more information regarding the acquisition.
Financial Condition
Our cash balance of $629 million at September 30, 2022 decreased $86 million, from December 31, 2021. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we had net cash provided by operating activities of $1.2 billion, net cash used in investing activities of $1.7 billion and net cash provided by financing activities of $386 million.
The cash provided by operating activities was driven by higher net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the effective management of our working capital, including a $200 million benefit related to increasing the facility limit of our A/R Sales Agreement. We used $1.7 billion cash for investing activities primarily in connection with the acquisition of KDG, in addition to $244 million for capital expenditures. The financing activities consisted primarily of $1 billion of net proceeds from debt primarily from the Senior Notes offering (as discussed below). This was partially offset by $369 million for dividends paid to our shareholders and $173 million of share repurchases.
Each of our working capital line items were impacted by the acquisition of KDG (refer to our acquisitions footnote in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further information). Accounts receivable increased $417 million, or 23.2%, from December 31, 2021. Inventory increased $411 million, or 10.6%, from December 31, 2021. In addition to the KDG acquisition, accounts receivable and inventory were both impacted by increases in revenues and related product demand. Accounts payable increased $726 million, or 15.1% from December 31, 2021. Apart from KDG, this was due largely to increased purchases to meet demand, inflationary pressures, and extended payment terms with certain suppliers. Total debt of $3.2 billion at September 30, 2022 increased $824 million, or 34.2%, from December 31, 2021 driven primarily by the Senior Notes offering (as discussed below).
We continue to negotiate extended payment dates with our suppliers. Our current payment terms with the majority of our suppliers range from 30 to 360 days. Several global financial institutions offer voluntary supply chain finance (“SCF”) programs which enable our suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables from us to these financial institutions on a non-recourse basis at a rate that takes advantage of our credit rating and may be beneficial to them. The SCF program is primarily available to suppliers of goods and services included in cost of goods sold in our condensed consolidated statements of income. Our suppliers and us agree on commercial terms for the goods and services we procure, including prices, quantities and payment terms, regardless of whether the supplier elects to participate in the SCF program. The suppliers sell goods or services, as applicable, to us and they issue the associated invoices to us based on the agreed-upon contractual terms. Then, if they are participating in the SCF program, our suppliers, at their sole discretion, determine which invoices, if any, they want to sell to the financial institutions. In turn, we direct payment to the financial institutions, rather than the suppliers, for the invoices sold to the financial institutions. No guarantees are provided by us or any of our subsidiaries on third-party performance under the SCF program; however, we guarantee the payment by our subsidiaries to the financial institutions participating in the SCF program for the applicable invoices. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SCF program, and we have no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions, as it relates to the SCF program. Accordingly, amounts due to our suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program are included in the line item accounts payable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. All activity related to amounts due to suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF program is reflected in cash flows from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding payment obligations to the financial institutions are $3.1 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. The amount settled through the SCF program was $2.7 billion and $2.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We ended the quarter with $2.1 billion of total liquidity (comprising $1.5 billion availability on the revolving credit facility and $629 million of cash and cash equivalents). From time to time, we may enter into other credit facilities or financing arrangements to provide additional liquidity and to manage against foreign currency risk. We currently believe that the existing lines of credit and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to fund anticipated operations for the foreseeable future.

Table of Contents
We have a healthy cash position and the financial strength to pursue future growth opportunities through disciplined, strategic capital deployment. Our key priorities include reinvesting in our businesses through capital expenditures, mergers and acquisitions, the dividend and share repurchases. These investments are designed to drive growth, improve efficiencies and productivity, and enhance shareholder value.
On January 3, 2022, we amended our A/R Sales Agreement to increase the facility limit by an additional $200 million bringing the total to $1 billion. The terms of the A/R Sales Agreement limit the balance of receivables sold to approximately $1 billion at any point in time. Refer to the A/R Sales Agreement footnote in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.
On January 6, 2022, we issued $500 million of unsecured 1.750% Senior Notes due 2025. Simultaneously, we issued $500 million of unsecured 2.750% Senior Notes due 2032. For both offerings, interest is payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2022. We utilized the proceeds from these offerings to repay the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility which were incurred to finance a significant portion of the KDG Acquisition.
At September 30, 2022, our total average cost of debt was 2.34%, and we remain in compliance with all covenants connected with our borrowings. Any failure to comply with our debt covenants or restrictions could result in a default under our financing arrangements or could require us to obtain waivers from our lenders for failure to comply with these restrictions. The occurrence of a default that remains uncured or the inability to secure a necessary consent or waiver could create cross defaults under other debt arrangements and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
On February 14, 2022, we announced a 10% increase in the regular quarterly cash dividend for 2022. Our Board of Directors increased the cash dividend payable to an annual rate of $3.58 per share compared with the previous dividend of $3.26 per share. We have paid a cash dividend every year since going public in 1948, and 2022 marks the 66th consecutive year of increased dividends paid to shareholders.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, refer to “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in Item 7A of Part II of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or furnishes under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On January 3, 2022, we completed the KDG acquisition. We are in the process of integrating KDG into our system of internal control over financial reporting.
Excluding the KDG acquisition, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 of the SEC that occurred during our last quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
