--Sales Up 32.1 Percent for Quarter; 21.4 percent for Year--
LOS ANGELES, CA –June 16, 2014 – Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported record results for its fiscal 2014 fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2014 – reflecting continued growth of its rotating electrical business and the third full quarter of contributions from the company’s wheel hub product line.
Net sales for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter increased 32.1 percent to $76.7 million from $58.0 million for the same period last year. Net income for the quarter was $3.1 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $73.7 million, or $5.08 per share, a year ago, which was impacted by the company’s former discontinued undercar business.
Excluding certain costs and non-cash expenses noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below, adjusted net income for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter increased 86 percent to $6.8 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, from $3.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier. Per-share results reflect a 9.2 percent increase in the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Gross profit for the fiscal 2014 fourth quarter was $23.9 million compared with $18.1 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 31.2 percent compared with 31.2 percent a year earlier.
Net sales for the full-year period increased 21.4 percent to $258.7 million from $213.2 million a year ago. Net income for fiscal 2014 was $107.4 million, or $7.01 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $91.5 million, or $6.36 per share, a year ago. Net income (loss) for both periods was impacted by the company’s former discontinued undercar business.
Excluding certain costs and non-cash expenses noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below, adjusted net income for the full-year period increased 55 percent to $21.3 million, or $1.39 per diluted share, from $13.8 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier.

Gross profit for the full year was $81.6 million compared with $69.3 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 31.5 percent compared with 32.5 percent a year earlier, reflecting product mix.
“We anticipate our solid growth will continue on a year-over-year basis, supported by an aging vehicle population, new product introductions and further opportunities for manufacturing and distribution leverage. I appreciate our team’s efforts in accomplishing industry-leading customer service levels, and their dedicated focus on excellence,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts of America.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for certain items related to the company’s discontinued subsidiaries, as well as financing, consulting and other fees. We define Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net income (loss), plus interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted net income (loss) does not reflect many items that affect the company’s net income (loss), including many items related to company’s discontinued subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of a number of items that affect the company’s net income, including financing costs and matters related to the company’s discontinued subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or income from operations as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) have significant limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) see the financial tables included in the press release.

Reconciliation of 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 non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in this press release and in the webcast to discuss the Company's financial results for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Each of these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses and gains. Among other things, the Company uses such non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in addition to and in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures to help analyze the performance of its business.
These non-GAAP adjusted financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company's business. However, these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
