Motorcar Parts of America Reports Record Results for Fiscal Second Quarter and Six Months

– Record Gross Profit and Strong Cash Flow Generation –

Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported record sales for its fiscal 2024 second quarter and six-month period ended September 30, 2023, with record gross profit and strong cash flow from operating activities.

Net sales for the fiscal 2024 second quarter increased 14.0 percent to a record $196.6 million from $172.5 million in the prior year.

Net loss for the fiscal 2024 second quarter improved to $2.0 million, or $0.10 per share, from a net loss of $6.5 million, or $0.34 per share, a year ago. The company noted that the net loss for the fiscal 2024 second quarter was impacted by $8.7 million, or $0.44 per share, of non-cash items, as detailed in Exhibit 1.

Interest expense for the fiscal second quarter increased by $6.1 million, or $0.23 per share, to $15.4 million from $9.3 million a year ago, primarily due to higher market rates.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2024 second quarter increased 55.2 percent to a record $41.1 million from $26.5 million a year earlier. Gross margin for the fiscal 2024 second quarter was 20.9 percent compared with 15.4 percent a year earlier. Gross margin for the fiscal 2024 second quarter was impacted by $4.7 million, or 2.4 percent, of non-cash items, and $3.2 million, or 1.6 percent, of cash items, as detailed in Exhibit 3.

The company generated approximately $15 million of cash from operating activities during the quarter. During this period, the company intentionally deferred collecting approximately $15 million of receivables offered through its customer supply chain vendor finance programs, which resulted in lowering cash flow by that amount, and interest expense savings of approximately $1 million. This enabled the company to defer interest expenses until price increases for interest rates are fully recognized.

Additionally, the company used its liquidity to pay down the $11.25 million balance of its term loan. Interest rates on the term loan were approximately two percentage points higher than rates offered by the company’s customers’ supply chain vendor finance programs.

“Demand for critical non-discretionary automotive parts is strong and we remain focused on leveraging our leadership position. As sales volume increases, particularly within certain of our emerging brake-related product categories, we expect to realize even further improvement in operational efficiencies. We remain optimistic about achieving our year-over-year financial targets and look forward to a strong second half,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president, and chief executive officer.

Six-Month Results

Net sales for the fiscal 2024 six-month period increased 5.9 percent to a record $356.3 million from $336.5 million.

Net loss for the fiscal 2024 six-month period improved to $3.4 million, or $0.17 per share, from a net loss of $6.7 million, or $0.35 per share, a year ago. The company noted that the net loss for the six months was impacted by $9.1 million, or $0.47 per share, of non-cash items, as detailed in Exhibit 2.

Interest expense increased by $10.9 million, or $0.42 per share, for the six months to $27.1 million from $16.2 million a year ago, primarily due to higher market rates.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2024 six-month period increased 19.2 percent to a record $67.7 million from $56.8 million a year earlier. Gross margin for the fiscal 2024 six-month period was 19.0 percent compared with 16.9 percent a year earlier. Gross margin for the fiscal 2024 six-month period was impacted by $8.1 million, or 2.3 percent, of non-cash items, and $5.2 million, or 1.5 percent, of cash items, as detailed in Exhibit 4.

Considerations for Fiscal 2024 Second Half

  • Sales volume is continuing to gain momentum.
    • Ordering activity strong.
    • Industry fundamentals continue to drive product demand.
  • Margin improvement.
    • Enhanced by multiple rounds of price increases.
    • Improving overhead absorption as brake-related business gains further momentum.
    • Improving operational efficiencies through volume increases.
  • Enhanced cash flow from working capital initiatives.

Use of Non-GAAP Measure

This press release includes the following non-GAAP measure – EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. The company believes this non-GAAP measure, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s results of operations. However, this non-GAAP measure has significant limitations in that it does not reflect all the costs and other items associated with the operation of the company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. For a definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, its corresponding GAAP measure, see the financial tables included in this press release. Also, refer to our Form 8-K to which this release is attached, and other filings we make with the SEC, for further information regarding this measure.

Additional Information and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the company has included the following additional information and non-GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Among other things, the company uses such additional information and non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in addition to and together with corresponding GAAP measures to help analyze the performance of its business.

The company believes this information helps provide a more complete understanding of the company's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the company's business. However, this information should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, information contained in the company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies.

The company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income is provided below along with information regarding such items.
