LKQ said one of its business units in Canada was the target of a cybersecurity incident in November and it would be notifying any affected parties as it analyzes data.
The auto-parts supplier on Friday said the operations of the business unit were adversely affected for a few weeks, but that the company doesn't expect the effects of the cyber incident to be material to its fiscal-year results.
In October, LKQ cut its full-year outlook and guided for a decline in organic revenue of 1.8% to 2.8%, as well as adjusted earnings of $3.38 to $3.52.
"The company believes that it has effectively contained the threat and that none of its other businesses were impacted by the threat, and the Business Unit is now operating near full capacity," it said.
LKQ will seek reimbursement of costs, expenses and losses stemming from the cybersecurity incident by submitting claims to its insurers, the company added.
