Motorcar Parts of America Reports Fiscal 2019 Third Quarter Results


-- Record Sales for Quarter and Nine Months --

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPAA) today announced results for its fiscal 2019 third quarter ended December 31, 2018 – reflecting record sales for both the quarter and nine months on a reported and adjusted basis, and investments to support new business, product line expansion, and continued growth.

Net sales for the fiscal 2019 third quarter increased 20.6 percent to $124.1 million from $102.9 million for the same period a year earlier, predominantly as a result of increases in the company’s rotating electrical business.

Adjusted net sales for the fiscal 2019 third quarter increased 14.4 percent to $119.6 million from $104.5 million a year earlier.

“The company is at an important inflection point in its multi-year strategy to expand market share within existing and new product categories. We are encouraged by our growth and the progress we are making with our new product lines, as well as the build-out and ramp-up of our existing and expanding facilities,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Net loss for the fiscal 2019 third quarter was $3.1 million, or $0.16 per share – reflecting the impact of the items listed below compared with net loss of $2.5 million, or $0.13 per share, a year ago.

Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2019 third quarter was $6.7 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared with $7.9 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, a year earlier.

The results for the quarter and gross margin were primarily impacted by five items totaling $9.7 million.

  • Customer allowances and stock adjustment costs of $2.7 million related to new business and product line expansion, including up-front costs and core buy back premium amortization expense.
  • Core sales of $7,753,000, less related cost of goods sold of $7,750,000, and a fixed cost of $767,000 in connection with the cancellation of a customer contract.
  • A non-cash write-down of $2.6 million associated with the quarterly revaluation for cores on customers' shelves. (This does not affect the reimbursable amount for the full value of cores on the customers’ shelves should business with the customer be discontinued.)
  • Net tariff costs of $1.5 million paid for products sold before price increases were effective.
  • Transition costs of $2.1 million associated with the expansion of manufacturing and distribution capacity to support increased demand for products, including new brake product lines.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2019 third quarter was $21.2 million compared with $26.1 million a year earlier.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal 2019 third quarter was 17.0 percent compared with 25.3 percent a year earlier.

Adjusted gross profit for the fiscal 2019 third quarter was $30.9 million compared with $30.7 million a year ago.  Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of adjusted net sales for the three months was 25.8 percent compared with 29.4 percent a year earlier.

Adjusted gross margin for the quarter was impacted by several factors -- including higher freight and wage costs, higher returns, the introduction of electric vehicle test systems, overtime and other costs related to the increase in new business, and other strategic initiatives for long-term growth. 

“Other than the wage inflation and higher freight costs, these margin headwinds are expected to reverse in the next fiscal year.  With respect to off-shore wage inflation, we are evaluating alternative operating efficiencies and pricing strategies,” Joffe said.

Nine-Month Results

Net sales for the fiscal 2019 nine-month period increased 11.7 percent to $343.7 million from $307.8 million a year earlier.

Adjusted net sales for the fiscal 2019 nine-month period increased 9.5 percent to $343.6 million from $313.7 million last year.

Net loss for the fiscal 2019 nine-month period was $5.1 million, or $0.27 per share, compared with net income of $10.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018.

Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2019 nine-month period was $21.2 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, compared with $26.5 million, or $1.37 per diluted share, in fiscal 2018.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2019 nine-month period was $63.2 million compared with $77.9 million a year earlier.  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal 2019 nine-month period was 18.4 percent compared with 25.3 percent a year earlier.

Adjusted gross profit for the fiscal 2019 nine-month period was $89.8 million compared with $90.8 million a year ago.  Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of adjusted net sales for the nine months was 26.1 percent compared with 28.9 percent a year earlier.

Revenue Recognition

Effective April 1, 2018, the company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, ("ASC 606") using the full retrospective transition method. As a result, the prior year three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 were revised to reflect the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standards.  The effects of the adoption were an increase to previously reported revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 of $1,165,000 and $1,029,000, respectively. The revenue changes were accompanied by related changes to cost of goods sold – an increase to previously reported cost of goods sold for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017 of $984,000 and $225,000, respectively. 

Also, as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 and the resultant changes in company policy, the effect on the consolidated balance sheets was to create contract asset and contract liability accounts to document those balance sheet items being impacted by the new revenue recognition requirements.  Additional information will be available in the company’s Form 10-Q filing later today. 

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes the following non-GAAP measures - adjusted net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin, which are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net sales, net income (loss), EBITDA, income from operations, gross profit or gross profit margin as a measure of financial performance.  The Company believes these non-GAAP measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s results of operations.  However, these non-GAAP measures have significant limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP.  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 reconciliation of adjusted net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to their corresponding GAAP measures, 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 these adjustments.

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 nine months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. 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.
