MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA REPORTS FISCAL 2022 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Record net sales up 32 percent for the quarter and 31 percent for nine months

LOS ANGELES, CA – February 9, 2022 – Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2022 third quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Fiscal Third Quarter Highlights

Record net sales of $161.8 million versus $122.6 million a year earlier, reflecting strong organic growth and favorable industry dynamics.
Net income of $3.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with $8.5 million, or $0.44 per diluted share a year ago. Net income for the fiscal third quarter of 2022 was impacted by $4.8 million of non-cash<br> items, or $0.25 per diluted share, and $3.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, due to transitory cost pressures related to supply chain disruptions.
--- ---
EBITDA of $11.9 million, which was impacted by $6.4 million of non-cash items and $4.9 million of transitory cost pressures related to the aforementioned supply chain disruptions. EBITDA in the prior-year period<br> was $18.8 million.
--- ---

“We delivered record net sales for the quarter and nine months despite continued global supply chain constraints. This is indicative of the strategic success of our organic growth initiatives and sustainable industry tailwinds from an aging car fleet, driving continuously greater demand for parts replacement. We achieved growth across all product categories and increased momentum in our emerging brake caliper business,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president, and chief executive officer.

“While industry dynamics remain positive, we continue to operate in a challenging supply chain environment. We have taken concrete measures to mitigate increases in freight rates, inflationary costs, and wage increases by implementing freight surcharges and price increases. We expect these initiatives to be in effect in the fiscal first quarter ending June 30, 2022. In addition to these measures, we have resumed production in Malaysia -- allowing for elimination of the temporary higher tariff expenses incurred during recent months due to necessary outsourcing of production to countries subject to higher import tariffs. Lastly, we are focused on the safety and well-being of our employees. It is a testament of our employees’ commitment that more than 93 percent globally have been vaccinated, helping mitigate operational risk,” Joffe said.

“Our business is strong. We have numerous multi-year strategic growth initiatives underway, including our growth strategy in the electric vehicle market. As the EV market continues to gain momentum, we will benefit from increased demand for battery power emulation, testing and development of inverters, electric motors, and high-speed battery-charging station applications offered by our wholly owned D&V subsidiary,” Joffe added.

Fiscal Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

- Net sales for the fiscal 2022<br> third quarter increased 32 percent to a record $161.8 million from $122.6 million in the prior-year period – reflecting the success of our strategic growth initiatives, growth across all product lines, and continued tailwinds in the<br> automotive aftermarket parts industry.
- Net income for the fiscal 2022<br> third quarter was $3.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with $8.5 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, a year ago. Net income was impacted by approximately $4.8 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, of non-cash items – including core and finished goods premium amortization, revaluation of cores on customer shelves, and share-based compensation, as detailed in Exhibit 1. The company also incurred an<br> impact of approximately $3.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, due to increased shipping rates, higher relative tariffs, and other transitory cost pressures related to supply chain disruptions due to<br> COVID-19. Freight surcharges and price increases to offset these expenses are expected to take effect in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022 to mitigate these headwinds.
--- ---

Net income for the prior-year third quarter was impacted favorably by $6.1 million of non-cash items, or $0.31 per diluted share, including a non-cash gain from the foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts of $12.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted share on a pre-tax basis. Cash impacts to net income for the prior-year period totaled $4.3 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, due to brake caliper start-up costs, product relocation expenses related to the expansion in Mexico, and other costs associated with COVID-19.

- Net cash used in operating activities was $22.2 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2021, reflecting working capital, including inventory<br> increases to support business growth and strategic investments designed to address potential supply chain disruptions.

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 reconciliation of EBITDA to its 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 measures.

Additional Information and 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 additional information and non-GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Among other things, the company uses such additional information and non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in addition to and together with corresponding GAAP measures to help analyze the performance of its business.

The company believes this information helps provide a more complete understanding of the company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the company’s business. However, this information should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, information contained in the company’s financial statements prepared 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.

The company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income is provided below along with information regarding such items.
