Dorman Products, Inc. Reports Sales and Earnings for the Third Quarter Ended
September 30, 2006
Colmar, Pennsylvania (October 30, 2006) - Dorman Products, Inc.,
(NASDAQ:DORM) (formerly R&B, Inc. NASDAQ: RBIN) today reported sales
increased 1.5% to $74.9 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006
from $73.8 million in the same period last year. Sales for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 increased 7.0% to $217.9 million from $203.6 million in the
same period last year. Revenue growth from products introduced in the past two
years continued to climb during the quarter, but was offset by a softening of
demand from most of the Company's aftermarket customers.
Net income in the third quarter of 2006 was $4.5 million compared to
net income of $4.6 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per
share for both the third quarter of 2006 and the third quarter of 2005 were
$0.25.
Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include a one-time
$3.2 million non-cash write-down for goodwill impairment ($2.9 million or $0.16
per share) and the write off of deferred tax benefits ($0.3 million or $0.02 per
share) associated with the Company's Swedish subsidiary (Scan-Tech). The
charges, which are not tax deductible, were the result of a second quarter
review of the Scan-Tech business in response to bad debt charge offs at two
large customers and the resulting loss of those customers in the first half of
the year. Total bad debt charges for the Swedish business were $0.8 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Excluding the goodwill impairment and deferred tax write off, net
income for the first nine months of the year was $12.1 million compared to net
income of $12.7 million in the same period last year and fully diluted EPS for
the first nine months of the year were $0.67 compared to $0.69 in the same
period last year. Net income for the first nine months of 2006 was $8.9 million
compared to net income of $12.7 million in the same period last year. Diluted
earnings per share for the first nine months of 2006 decreased to $0.49 from
$0.69 in the same period last year.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R,
"Share-Based Payment" and related interpretations and began expensing the grant
date fair value of employee stock options. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company
applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option
plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized in net income for
employee stock options in the prior year. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R
using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated
prior periods. The estimated impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R in 2006, is
expected to reduce diluted earnings per share for the year by approximately
$0.02.
Mr. Richard Berman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
said, "Order patterns were lower than expected throughout the third quarter. We
remain enthusiastic about our new product initiatives despite the softened
demand that we experienced in the third quarter. We look forward to sharing many
of these exciting new product ideas with our customers during this week's AAPEX
show."
