Motorcar Parts of America Reports Strong Fiscal 2011 First Quarter Results

Net Income More Than Doubles; Sales Climb


LOS ANGELES, Aug. 9, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq:MPAA) today reported strong results for its fiscal 2011 first quarter ended June 30, 2010, reflecting increased sales and improved productivity.

Net income for the fiscal 2011 first quarter climbed sharply to $2.5 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.2 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the comparable period a year earlier.

Net sales for the fiscal 2011 first quarter increased 10.8 percent to $36.2 million from $32.7 million for the same period last year.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2011 first quarter was $11.5 million compared with $7.2 million for the same period a year ago.

Operating income for the fiscal first quarter climbed 77.4 percent to $5.4 million from $3.1 million in the same period a year ago.

General and administrative expenses were negatively impacted by a $471,000 non-cash loss as a result of negative foreign currency fluctuations in the fiscal 2011 first quarter. The company benefitted in the same period a year earlier as a result of a non-cash gain in foreign currency fluctuations of $964,000.

"The 2011 fiscal year is off to an excellent start, with strong sales momentum and solid profitability as the company continues to focus on operating leverage and increased usage of available capacity," said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts.
