LOS ANGELES, Nov. 10, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq:MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2015 second quarter ended September 30, 2014 – reflecting continued sales growth and enhanced profitability.
Net sales for the fiscal 2015 second quarter increased 7.1 percent to $70.8 million from $66.2 million for the same period a year earlier. On an adjusted basis before accounting for customer allowances associated with new business gains, net sales climbed 21.7 percent to $81.4 million from $66.9 million in fiscal 2014. The increase in net sales was due to strength in rotating electrical and the benefits of the company's growing wheel hub product sales and the partial quarter contributions from its new brake master cylinder product sales that commenced in late July 2014.
Net income for the quarter was $1.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, a year ago – reflecting a 14.4 percent increase in the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the fiscal 2015 period.
Adjusted net income, excluding certain expenses noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below, for the fiscal 2015 second quarter almost doubled to $10.2 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, from $5.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the fiscal 2015 second quarter was 26.0 percent compared with 29.8 percent a year earlier. Gross profit was $18.4 million compared with $19.7 million a year earlier. Reported second quarter gross profit was negatively impacted by customer allowances associated with inventory purchases for new business gains noted above.
Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of sales for the second quarter was 35.0 percent compared with 31.0 percent a year earlier. Adjusted gross profit was $28.5 million compared with $20.7 million a year ago, representing a 37.5 percent increase.
Net sales for the fiscal 2015 six-month period increased 14.9 percent to $133.8 million from $116.4 million for the same period a year earlier. On an adjusted basis before accounting for customer allowances associated with new business gains, net sales increased 22.9 percent to $144.8 million from $117.8 million in fiscal 2014.
Net income for the six months was $5.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, compared with net income of $103.1 million, or $7.02 per diluted share, a year ago – reflecting the fiscal 2014 period impact of $100.9 million income from discontinued operations as well a 11.4 percent increase in the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the fiscal 2015.
Adjusted net income, excluding certain expenses noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below, for the fiscal 2015 six-month period increased 73.8 percent to $14.9 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, from $8.6 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier.
Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the fiscal 2015 six-month period was 27.1 percent compared with 30.7 percent a year earlier. Gross profit was $36.2 million compared with $35.7 million a year earlier.
Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of sales for the six months was 32.9 percent compared with 31.5 percent a year earlier. Adjusted gross profit was $47.7 million compared with $37.1 million a year ago, representing a 28.5 percent increase.
"The first half of fiscal 2015 bodes well for the year, as we continue to experience strong interest in our new product introductions and solid growth in rotating electrical. An aging vehicle population, lower fuel costs and positive operating synergies support our growth potential. Our team is passionate about building shareholder value through superior product quality and exemplary customer service levels," said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts of America.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for certain items related to the company's discontinued subsidiaries, as well as financing, consulting and other fees. We define Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net income (loss), plus interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted net income (loss) does not reflect many items that affect the company's net income (loss), including many items related to company's discontinued subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of a number of items that affect the company's net income, including financing costs and matters related to the company's discontinued subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or income from operations as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) have significant limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) see the financial tables included in the press release.

Reconciliation of 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 non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in this press release and in the webcast to discuss the Company's financial results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Each of these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses and gains. Among other things, the Company uses such non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in addition to and in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures to help analyze the performance of its business.
These non-GAAP adjusted financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company's business. However, these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
