Business Combinations

In November 2013, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of Pick A Part, Inc., a used auto parts business with one store in the Olympia metropolitan area in Washington, which expanded the Auto Parts Business’ presence in the Pacific Northwest and is near the Metals Recycling Business’ operations in Tacoma, Washington. The acquisition was not material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Pro forma operating results for the acquisition are not presented, since the aggregate results would not be significantly different than reported results.
