Dorman Products, Inc. Reports Sales and Earnings for the Third Quarter Ended September 24, 2011
Colmar, Pennsylvania (October 25, 2011) – Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:DORM) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 24, 2011.
Revenues for the third quarter ended September 24, 2011 increased 13% over the prior year to $134.2 million from $119.2 million. Excluding the impact of $3.5 million in costs associated with our previously-announced decision to exit our Swedish business shown in the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures below, adjusted net income increased 17% to $15.0 million in the third quarter from $12.8 million last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share increased 15% to $0.82 in 2011 from $0.71 in 2010.
After the above charge, reported net income in the third quarter of 2011 declined 10% to $11.5 million from $12.8 million in the same period last year. Reported diluted earnings per share in the third quarter of 2011 declined 11% to $0.63 from $0.71 in the same period last year.
For the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010:
• | Revenues increased 17% over the prior year to $390.2 million from $333.2 million. Revenue growth was driven primarily by strong overall demand for our products and higher new product sales. |
• | Excluding the impact of the item shown in the reconciliation of non-GAAP measures below, adjusted net income in 2011 increased 18% to $40.1 million from $33.9 million last year, while adjusted diluted earnings per share in 2011 increased 18% to $2.21 in 2011 from $1.87 in 2010. |
• | Reported net income in 2011 was up 8% to $36.6 million from $33.9 million last year. Reported diluted earnings per share in 2011 rose 7% to $2.01 from $1.87 in 2010. |
• | Reported gross profit margin was 35.6%. Adjusted gross profit margin before $2.9 million in charges for inventory write-downs and other costs associated with the exit of our Swedish business was 36.3% in 2011 compared to 37.9% in 2010. The remaining decline in gross margin is primarily due to an increase in transportation costs and an unfavorable change in sales mix. |
• | Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 12% in 2011 to $79.3 million from $70.9 million in 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses includes $0.6 million in employee related charges and asset write-downs related to the exit of our Swedish business. The remaining spending increase was primarily the result of higher variable costs related to our sales increase and investments in new product development initiatives. |
• | Our effective tax rate decreased to 38.3% from 38.5% in the prior year. |
• | Operating cash flow for 2011 was $30.6 million compared to $14.9 million in 2010. Cash on hand as of September 24, 2011 was $45.6 million. |
Mr. Steven Berman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our sales increases continue to be driven by the success of our new products. We remain on pace to deliver a record number of new products in 2011 and look forward to sharing some of our recent new product opportunities with our customers and end users during next week’s AAPEX Show. Finally, we are excited to announce our upcoming launch of Dorman HD Solutions (TM) – an exclusive offering of Former Dealer Only for the Medium and Heavy Duty vehicle market, which we expect to begin shipping early next year.”
