Interest expense for the fiscal 2026 second quarter decreased by $1.5 million to $12.7 million from $14.2 million a year ago, reflecting lower average outstanding balances under the company’s credit facility and lower interest rates compared with a year ago.

Net loss for the fiscal 2026 second quarter was $2.1 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with a net loss of $3.0 million, or $0.15 per share, for the prior year.  Net loss was impacted by non-cash expenses of $4.8 million, or $0.25 per share, and one-time cash expenses of $523,000, or $0.03 per share, as detailed in Exhibit 1.

“Results for the fiscal second quarter reflect continued success at leveraging the company’s prominent position within the non-discretionary automotive aftermarket and North American footprint,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president, and chief executive officer.

He noted favorable industry dynamics remain catalysts for automotive aftermarket growth -- which include an increasing number of vehicles on the road and an aging car parc climbing to a current 12.8 years in the United States.

“The

      company’s solid financial position, cash flow generation and continued net debt reduction should continue to enhance our competitive position and support opportunities in a rapidly changing industry environment,” Joffe said.

Joffe highlighted that the company generated cash of approximately $21.9 million from operating activities during the fiscal 2026 second quarter and reduced net bank debt by $17.7 million to $56.7 million from $74.4 million.  He also highlighted that the company generated cash of approximately $31.9 million during the six-month period compared with $2.0 million for the prior year and reduced net bank debt by $24.6 million to $56.7 million from $81.4 million.

Six-Month Results

Net sales for the fiscal 2026 six-month period increased 31.8 million, or 8.4 percent, to a record $409.8 million from $378.1 million.  Net sales for the six-month period reflect $14.8 million of core revenue in connection with the realignment of inventory at certain customer distribution centers offset by the timing of purchases by one of our largest customers.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2026 six-month period increased to a record $76.6 million from $70.5 million a year earlier.  Gross margin for the fiscal 2026 six-month period was 18.7 percent compared with 18.6 percent a year earlier.  Gross margin for the fiscal 2026 six-month period was impacted by non-cash expenses of $7.4 million, or 2.5 percent, and one-time cash expenses of $2.1 million, or 0.5 percent, as detailed in Exhibit 4.

Interest expense decreased by $3.1 million for the six months to $25.5 million from $28.6 million a year ago, reflecting lower average outstanding balances under the company’s credit facility and lower interest rates compared with a year ago.

Net income for the fiscal 2026 six-month period was $893,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, impacted by non-cash expenses of $3.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, and one-time cash expenses of $1.6 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $21.0 million, or $1.07 per share, a year ago, impacted by various items detailed in Exhibit 2.

Share Repurchase

During the fiscal 2026 second quarter, the company repurchased 90,114 shares for $1.4 million at an average share price of $15.41 under its current authorization program, supported by solid cash generation from operating activities. For the six-month period, the company repurchased 287,910 shares for $3.4 million at an average share price of $11.65.

The company anticipates further opportunities to build shareholder value through enhanced profitability and strong cash generation.

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.

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 six months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. 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.
