    COLMAR, Pa., April 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company” or “Dorman”) (NASDAQ:DORM), a leading supplier in the automotive aftermarket industry, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 26, 2022.

    First Quarter Financial Results
    The Company reported first quarter 2022 net sales of $401.6 million, up 39% compared to net sales of $288.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. The record first quarter results reflect a continuation of favorable underlying industry dynamics across the Company’s customer channels, new product penetration, the addition of Dayton Parts, and price increases to offset logistics, wage and commodity inflation. Net sales growth excluding Dayton Parts was 21% compared to the first quarter of 2021, and 35% compared to the first quarter of 2020.

    Gross profit was $133.2 million in the first quarter of 2022, or 33.2% of net sales, compared to $104.5 million, or 36.3% of net sales for the same quarter last year. Adjusted gross margin* was 34.1% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 36.3% in the same quarter last year. Dayton Parts had a 50bps dilutive impact on adjusted gross margin* in the first quarter. During the quarter, the Company experienced broad-based inflationary cost impacts due to global transportation and logistics constraints as well as commodity and wage rate pressures. Dorman continued to implement cost-saving initiatives and price increases to offset the inflationary cost increases experienced during the quarter that maintained gross profit dollars but resulted in a lower gross margin percentage.

    Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $86.5 million, or 21.5% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $62.9 million, or 21.8% of net sales, in the same quarter last year. Adjusted SG&A expenses* were $83.2 million, or 20.7% of net sales, in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $62.0 million, or 21.5% of net sales, in the same quarter last year. The decrease in adjusted SG&A expenses* as a percentage of net sales was due to improved leverage from the increase in net sales in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, partially offset by higher wage and benefits inflation as well as higher accounts receivable factoring costs.

    Income tax expense was $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2022, or 22.7% of income before income taxes, compared to $8.9 million, or 21.3% of income before income taxes, recorded in the same quarter last year. The increase in the effective tax rate was due to an increase in state tax expense and higher Canadian income tax associated with the Canadian operations acquired as part of the Dayton Parts transaction.

    Net income for the first quarter of 2022 was $35.2 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, compared to $32.7 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income* in the first quarter of 2022 was $40.7 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, compared to $33.4 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

    Kevin Olsen, Dorman’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am pleased to report a strong start to the fiscal year as we continue to execute on our strategic priorities. We recorded record-high net sales during the first quarter, which was a continuation of strong customer demand that we have been experiencing across all our channels, as the underlying aftermarket industry fundamentals remain strong. Our performance in the quarter was achieved despite the headwinds that we faced from inflation, higher interest rates, tight labor conditions, and global supply chain disruptions. We also continued our commitment to bring new and innovative solutions to the aftermarket. This quarter, we launched a number of OE FIX™ products that expanded our complex electronics portfolio, including new transmission control modules and fuel pump driver modules. OE FIX™ products are exclusive and only offered in the marketplace by Dorman, demonstrating our industry-leading, problem-solving capabilities. Additionally, the integration of Dayton Parts is on schedule and their first quarter financial results exceeded our expectations.

    “I would like to thank all of our Contributors for their dedication, commitment, and creativity, which has enabled our organization to service the robust customer demand we continue to experience despite a very challenging environment that has impacted fulfillment levels and increased our costs. We have been working hard to execute cost savings initiatives and have successfully executed pass-through pricing actions to address the increased costs associated with these inflationary challenges. As a result, we remain confident in our ability to offset the gross margin dollar impact of the higher inflationary costs we are experiencing. We also consider ourselves quite fortunate to have strong, long-standing relationships with our suppliers and logistics partners. These relationships, combined with the deep experience of our Contributors located both in the U.S. and abroad, gives us confidence in our ability to successfully manage through this market volatility.”

    2022 Guidance
    The Company is reaffirming its full-year 2022 guidance, detailed in the table below, which includes the impact of the Dayton Parts acquisition but excludes any potential impacts from future acquisitions or further possible government-mandated shutdowns or supply chain disruptions.

     2022 Fiscal Year 
    Net Sales$1,600 - $1,640 million 
    Growth vs 202119% - 22% 
    Diluted EPS$4.94 - $5.14 
    Growth vs 202120% - 25% 
    Adjusted Diluted EPS*$5.35 - $5.55 
    Growth vs 202115% - 20% 
    Tax Rate Estimate22.5% 

     

    Mr. Olsen further stated, “Our 2022 guidance reflects our belief that the aftermarket industry dynamics will remain strong throughout the year, but also anticipates continued inflationary cost pressures from global transportation and logistics constraints, labor availability, and higher commodity, interest rate, and wage rate costs, especially in the second half of 2022. To offset those pressures, we expect to execute further pricing and cost improvement actions, if necessary, to protect gross margin dollars. Finally, our balance sheet and liquidity remain strong, and we are well-positioned to execute on our strategic priorities.”

    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 $3.0 million pretax (or $2.3 million after tax) during the three months ended March 26, 2022 and were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Such costs were $0.8 million pretax (or $0.6 million after tax) during the three months ended March 27, 2021 and were included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

    [2] – Pretax acquisition-related transaction and other costs include costs incurred to complete and integrate acquisitions, adjustments to contingent consideration obligations, inventory fair value adjustments and facility consolidation expenses. During the three months ended March 26, 2022, we incurred charges included in cost of goods sold for integration costs, other facility consolidation expenses and inventory fair value adjustments of $3.9 million pretax (or $3.0 million after tax). During the three months ended March 26, 2022, we incurred charges included in selling, general and administrative expenses to complete and integrate acquisitions of $0.3 million pretax (or $0.3 million after tax).

    During the three months ended March 27, 2021, we incurred charges included in cost of goods sold for integration costs of $0.0 million pretax (or $0.0 million after tax). During the three months ended March 27, 2021, we incurred charges included in selling, general and administrative expenses to complete and integrate acquisitions of $0.1 million pretax (or $0.1 million after tax).

    [3] – Tax adjustments represent the aggregate tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments reflected in the table above, and totaled $(1.6) million during the three months ended March 26, 2022 and $(0.2) million during the three months ended March 27, 2021. Such items are estimated by applying our statutory tax rate to the pretax amount, or an actual tax amount for discrete items.
