MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA REPORTS RECORD FIRST QUARTER SALES
LOS ANGELES, CA – August 9, 2022 – Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2023 first quarter ended June 30, 2022 – reflecting strong demand after a modest start, with momentum building in May and June.
Fiscal 2023 First Quarter Highlights
| • | Net sales reached a fiscal first quarter record of $164.0 million, an increase of $15.0 million, or 10.0 percent year over year. |
|---|---|
| • | Gross profit was $30.3 million, an increase of $6.7 million, or 28.6 percent year over year. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Operating expenses were impacted by non-cash foreign currency exchange fluctuations of approximately $820,000 compared with the prior year. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Results were impacted by $3.0 million of increased interest expenses, primarily due to higher interest rates related to participation in the accounts receivable discount<br> programs offered by customers. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Results were also impacted by $0.22 per share of non-cash items, and $0.15 per share of other items, primarily due to continuing, though diminishing, transitory costs related<br> to supply chain disruptions. |
| --- | --- |
| • | EBITDA (defined below) was $10.5 million, which was impacted by $5.5 million of non-cash items and $3.7 million of other items, primarily due to transitory costs. |
| --- | --- |
Fiscal 2023 Considerations
| • | Future margin expansion expected from additional price increases in the fiscal second quarter; anticipated improved operating efficiencies as brake-related product volume increases and fixed cost<br> leveraging opportunities are enhanced. |
|---|---|
| • | Cash flow improvement expected as the new fiscal year gains momentum; strategic inventory build in fiscal 2022 is expected to benefit from previously announced top-line sales targets across all<br> product lines. |

“We reported record sales for a fiscal first quarter, which supports our optimism as we start a new fiscal year – supported by strong demand for replacement parts and tailwinds from an aging car fleet. Our emerging brake-related products -- including brake calipers and in particular pads and rotors, which we formally launched this quarter, are experiencing strong demand. Our investments are bearing fruit and we are well-positioned to capitalize on the company’s leadership position within the retail and traditional markets,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president, and chief executive officer.
Net sales for the fiscal 2023 first quarter increased $15.0 million, or 10.0 percent, to $164.0 million from $149.0 million in the prior-year period.
Net loss for the fiscal 2023 first quarter was $175,000, or $0.01 per share, compared with net income of $861,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, a year ago -- impacted by approximately $4.2 million, or $0.22 per share, of non-cash items, including a non-cash loss of $678,000, or $0.04 per share on a pre-tax basis, for the foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts, as detailed in Exhibit 1. The company also was impacted by approximately $2.8 million, or $0.15 per share, of other costs, primarily transitory costs related to supply chain disruptions. Results for the fiscal first quarter were also impacted by $3.0 million of higher interest expenses compared with the prior year.
Prior-year net income of $861,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, was impacted by approximately $2.0 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, of non-cash items, including a non-cash gain of $2.5 million, or $0.13 per diluted share on a pre-tax basis, for the foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts, as detailed in Exhibit 1. The company also was impacted by approximately $5.6 million, or $0.29 per share, of other costs, primarily transitory costs related to supply chain disruptions for the prior year.
Gross profit for the fiscal 2023 first quarter increased $6.7 million, or 28.6 percent, to $30.3 million from $23.6 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal 2023 first quarter was 18.5 percent compared with 15.8 percent a year earlier. Gross margin for the fiscal 2023 first quarter was impacted by 2.2 percent by the aforementioned non-cash items and 1.6 percent by the transitory supply chain disruptions, as detailed in Exhibit 2. In addition to the items mentioned above, gross margin for the fiscal first quarter was further impacted by inflationary costs and new product line growth initiatives.

Use of Non-GAAP Measure
This press release includes the following non-GAAP measure – EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. The company believes this non-GAAP measure, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s results of operations. However, this non-GAAP measure has significant limitations in that it does not reflect all the costs and other items associated with the operation of the company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies. 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 definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, its corresponding GAAP measure, 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 this measure.
