Dorman Products, Inc. Reports Sales and Earnings for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2006

COLMAR, PA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 30, 2006 -- Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: DORM) (formerly R&B, Inc. NASDAQ: RBIN) today reported sales increased 1.5% to $74.9 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 from $73.8 million in the same period last year. Sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased 7.0% to $217.9 million from $203.6 million in the same period last year. Revenue growth from products introduced in the past two years continued to climb during the quarter, but was offset by a softening of demand from most of the Company's aftermarket customers.

Net income in the third quarter of 2006 was $4.5 million compared to net income of $4.6 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share for both the third quarter of 2006 and the third quarter of 2005 were $0.25.

Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include a one-time $3.2 million non-cash write-down for goodwill impairment ($2.9 million or $0.16 per share) and the write off of deferred tax benefits ($0.3 million or $0.02 per share) associated with the Company's Swedish subsidiary (Scan-Tech). The charges, which are not tax deductible, were the result of a second quarter review of the Scan-Tech business in response to bad debt charge offs at two large customers and the resulting loss of those customers in the first half of the year. Total bad debt charges for the Swedish business were $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Excluding the goodwill impairment and deferred tax write off, net income for the first nine months of the year was $12.1 million compared to net income of $12.7 million in the same period last year and fully diluted EPS for the first nine months of the year were $0.67 compared to $0.69 in the same period last year. Net income for the first nine months of 2006 was $8.9 million compared to net income of $12.7 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share for the first nine months of 2006 decreased to $0.49 from $0.69 in the same period last year.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" and related interpretations and began expensing the grant date fair value of employee stock options. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized in net income for employee stock options in the prior year. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated prior periods. The estimated impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R in 2006, is expected to reduce diluted earnings per share for the year by approximately $0.02.

Mr. Richard Berman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Order patterns were lower than expected throughout the third quarter. We remain enthusiastic about our new product initiatives despite the softened demand that we experienced in the third quarter. We look forward to sharing many of these exciting new product ideas with our customers during this week's AAPEX show."

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

During the second quarter of 2006 the Company recorded a $3.2 million non-cash write-down for goodwill impairment ($2.9 million) and the write off of deferred tax benefits ($0.3 million) associated with the Company's Swedish operation (Scan-Tech). This press release contains non-GAAP measures which adjust current year net income and fully diluted earnings per share to exclude the impact of these charges. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is intended to enhance the usefulness of the financial information by providing measures which the Company's management uses internally to evaluate the Company's baseline performance. A reconciliation of net income and fully diluted earnings per share follows:
