COLMAR, Pa., Aug. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company” or “Dorman”) (NASDAQ:DORM), a leading supplier in the motor vehicle aftermarket industry, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended July 1, 2023.

Second Quarter Financial Results
The Company reported second quarter 2023 net sales of $480.6 million, up 15% compared to net sales of $417.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. The sales growth was primarily driven by the addition of SuperATV, along with price increases to offset inflation and the introduction of new products to the market. Net sales growth excluding acquisitions was 1% compared to the second quarter of 2022, and 16% compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Gross profit was $163.5 million in the second quarter of 2023, or 34.0% of net sales, compared to $141.5 million, or 33.9% of net sales, for the same quarter last year. Adjusted gross margin* was 35.1% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 34.0% in the same quarter last year. The 110-basis-point increase in adjusted gross margin* is primarily due to the recognition of sales of lower-cost inventory, price increases and the addition of SuperATV, which has a higher gross margin percentage than the Company average. In addition, adjusted gross margin* increased 270 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2023.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $108.3 million, or 22.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $92.1 million, or 22.1% of net sales, for the same quarter last year. Adjusted SG&A expenses* were $114.4 million, or 23.8% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2023 compared to $88.7 million, or 21.3% of net sales, in the same quarter last year. The increase in adjusted SG&A expenses* as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to the addition of SuperATV, which has higher SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales than the Company average, and the impact of higher interest rates on our customer accounts receivable factoring programs.

Net interest expense was $12.6 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $1.6 million for the same quarter last year. The increase of $11.0 million primarily reflects the addition of the term loan used to complete the acquisition of SuperATV in October 2022, and significantly higher interest rates compared to the prior year.

Income tax expense was $10.3 million, or 23.8% of income before income taxes, compared to $10.1 million, or 21.1% of income before income taxes, in the same quarter last year. The increase in the effective tax rate was due to an increase in state tax expense and the effect of foreign operations.

Net income for the second quarter of 2023 was $32.8 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, compared to $37.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter. Adjusted net income* in the second quarter of 2023 was $31.9 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to $40.6 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, in the prior-year quarter.

Kevin Olsen, Dorman’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We reported another solid quarter due to the continuous dedication and hard work of our Contributors. Overall, the quarter played out largely as expected. The forecasted sequential improvement in adjusted gross margin* materialized as we saw a 270 basis-point improvement over the first quarter of 2023, which drove adjusted diluted EPS* growth of more than 80% over the same period. We expect to see gross margins continue to improve throughout the second half of 2023, as a large portion of products sourced when inflationary pressures were much higher are now out of our inventory.

“We were pleased with net sales performance, recognizing that we were up against strong prior year comparables. During the first half of 2022, we believe we benefited from customers restocking their inventories as global supply chains rebounded from the impact of the global pandemic. As a result, our shipments outpaced customer point-of-sale over that time frame. Year-to-date, end-user demand for our products has remained strong as our customer point-of-sale growth was estimated to be in the low double digits, and we expect this demand profile to continue throughout the balance of 2023.

“SuperATV, our latest acquisition, continues to perform well. The business generated high-single-digit year-over-year sales growth and was accretive to both our overall operating margin and EPS in the quarter. We couldn’t be happier with the team, which continues to deliver on our integration and synergy plans.

“As global supply chains have improved, we have been able to reduce inventory $113 million from December 31, 2022. Lower inventory drove a robust $67 million of cash from operating activities in the quarter, which was used to repay $52 million of indebtedness, for a total repayment of $79 million for the first half of 2023. We expect strong cash flows to continue in the second half of 2023, driven by further inventory reductions, and to further pay down our debt.

“Regarding new product development, we launched hundreds of new products during the quarter, including a new Dorman® OE FIX™ engine heater hose assembly and torque converter lock-up solenoid, a first-to-the-aftermarket suspension sway bar bracket kit, and additional offerings for the Electric Vehicle (EV) market. We believe that our focus on innovation and new product development will enable us to continue to deliver the products desired by end users and help drive profitable growth for our customers.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(in thousands, except per-share amounts)

Our financial results include certain financial measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures, or considered in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position or cash flows. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. However, we have presented these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe this presentation, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing our results, profitability trends, and underlying growth relative to prior and future periods and to our peers. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. Non-GAAP financial measures may reflect adjustments for charges such as fair value adjustments, amortization, transaction costs, severance, accelerated depreciation, and other similar expenses related to acquisitions as well as other items that we believe are not related to our ongoing performance.

[1] – Pretax acquisition-related intangible asset amortization results from allocating the purchase price of acquisitions to the acquired tangible and intangible assets of the acquired business and recognizing the cost of the intangible asset over the period of benefit. Such costs were $5.4 million pretax (or $4.0 million after tax) during the three months ended July 1, 2023 and $10.9 million pretax (or $8.1 million after tax) during the six months ended July 1, 2023. Such costs were $3.0 million pretax (or $2.3 million after tax) during the three months ended June 25, 2022 and $6.0 million pretax (or $4.6 million after tax) during the six months ended June 25, 2022.

[2] – Pretax acquisition-related transaction and other costs include costs incurred to complete and integrate acquisitions, accretion on contingent consideration obligations, inventory fair value adjustments and facility consolidation and start-up expenses. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, we incurred charges included in cost of goods sold for integration costs, other facility consolidation expenses and inventory fair value adjustments of $5.0 million pretax (or $3.8 million after tax) and $11.8 million pretax (or $8.9 million after tax), respectively. During the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, we incurred charges included in selling, general and administrative expenses to complete and integrate acquisitions, accretion on contingent consideration obligations and facility consolidation and start-up expenses of $0.9 million pretax (or $0.7 million after tax) and $2.6 million pretax (or $2.0 million after tax), respectively.

During the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, we incurred charges included in cost of goods sold for integration costs, other facility consolidation expenses and inventory fair value adjustments of $0.2 million pretax (or $0.1 million after tax) and $ 4.1 (or $3.1 million after tax), respectively.

[3] – Executive transition service expenses represents an accrual for costs required to be paid under an agreement in connection with the planned transition of our Executive Chairman to Non-Executive Chairman, and other professional services rendered in connection with the execution of the agreement. The expense was $1.8 million pretax (or $1.4 million after tax) during the six months ended July 1, 2023.

[4] – Fair value adjustments to contingent consideration represents the change to our estimates of ultimate earnout payment amounts for a previously completed acquisition based on projections of financial performance compared to the target amounts defined in the purchase agreement and totaled $12.4 million pretax (or $9.4 million after tax) during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023.

[5] – Tax adjustments represent the aggregate tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments reflected in the table above, and totaled $0.2 million and $(3.7) million during the three and six months ended July 1, 2023, respectively, and $(0.8) million and $(2.5) million during the three and six months ended June 25, 2022, respectively. Such items are estimated by applying our statutory tax rate to the pretax amount, or an actual tax amount for discrete items.
