MPAA reported a fiscal Q1 net loss of $13.4M on $168M in sales, down from $188.4M a year ago, with gross margin compressing to 16.2% from 18.0% due in part to a ~$3.5M FX hit and customer order timing tied to a competitor's bankruptcy liquidation; the company reaffirmed full-year fiscal 2027 net sales guidance of $780–$800M and operating income guidance of $86–$91M, and expects to add more than $100M of additional annualized net sales by year-end.
