Dorman Products, Inc. Reports Sales and Earnings for the Second Quarter Ended
June 30, 2007
Colmar, Pennsylvania (August 1, 2007) - Dorman Products, Inc.,
(NASDAQ:DORM) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended
June 30, 2007.
Sales in the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased 16% to $85.8
from $74.2 million in the same period last year. Revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 were up 12% to $160.1 million from $143.1 million last year.
Revenues increased as a result of higher new product sales and two large product
line updates that shipped during the quarter. Approximately 1% of the 2007 net
sales increase was due to the favorable effect of foreign currency exchange.
Reported net income in the second quarter of 2007 was $5.8 million
compared to net income of $0.9 million in the same period last year. Reported
diluted earnings per share in the second quarter of 2007 were $0.32 compared to
$0.05 in the same period last year. Excluding the vacation adjustment, goodwill
impairment and deferred tax write off discussed below, net income in the second
quarter of 2007 was $5.5 million compared to net income of $4.1 million in the
same period last year and diluted EPS in the second quarter of 2007 increased
35% to $0.31 from $0.23 in the same period last year.
For the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006:
o Gross profit margin decreased to 33.9% from 36.0% in the same
period last year. The decrease is the result of higher customer
allowances and initiatives designed to maintain and increase
market share for us and our customers. We partially offset the
impact of these initiatives through material cost savings from
suppliers and lower required provisions for excess and obsolete
inventory.
o Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 1% despite
the 16% sales increase, and declined from 26.1% to 22.4% of sales.
We were able to offset inflationary cost increases and variable
spending increases related to sales growth with cost reductions
and a $0.3 million reduction in vacation expense due to the
vacation policy change mentioned below. Also, results for the
three months ended July 1, 2006 include a $0.6 million charge for
the write-off of accounts receivable after the loss of two large
customers of our Swedish subsidiary.
o Interest expense, net, decreased to $0.5 million from $0.6
million due to lower overall borrowing levels. o Our effective
tax rate decreased to 38.2% from 76.1% in the same period last
year. The decrease is the result of the $2.9 million goodwill
impairment charge in 2006 which was not tax deductible and
therefore had no income tax benefit associated with it. In
addition, the Company's provision for income taxes for the
thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2006, included a $0.3 million charge
to write off deferred tax assets.
Reported net income in the first six months of 2007 was $9.8 million
compared to net income of $4.3 million in the same period last year. Reported
diluted earnings per share in the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $0.54
compared to $0.24 in the same period last year. Excluding the vacation
adjustment, goodwill impairment and deferred tax write off discussed below, net
income in the first six months of 2007 was $9.3 million compared to net income
of $7.6 million in the same period last year and diluted EPS for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 increased 24% to $0.52 from $0.42 in the same period last
year.
Effective December 31, 2006, we changed our vacation policy so that
vacation is earned ratably throughout the year rather than at the end of the
preceding year. This change will result in a reduction in our vacation accrual
of approximately $1.6 million in 2007. Results for the three months and six
months ended June 30, 2007 include vacation expense reductions of $0.1 million
and $0.2 million in cost of goods sold and $0.3 million and $0.6 million in
selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively.
Results for the second quarter and six months ended July 1, 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.
Mr. Richard Berman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
said, "Customers at all levels continue to benefit from our new product
offerings. Operating expenses were essentially flat despite strong top line
growth, which provided bottom line leverage to drive our profit growth. Our
Spring 2007 Service Dealer Guide was well received and contributed to the sales
growth as well. We plan to build on this success with our fall 2007 guide which
will begin to be distributed to over 600,000 parts distributors and service
dealers in the fourth quarter of 2007. In addition, we will make further
controlled investments in new product infrastructure in the second half of the
year to generate additional long term growth for our customers and our
business."

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
(in thousands, except per-share amounts)
Effective December 31, 2006, we changed our vacation policy so that
vacation is earned ratably throughout the year rather than at the end of the
preceding year. This change will result in a reduction in our vacation accrual
of approximately $1.6 million in 2007. As a result, vacation expense in cost of
goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses will be reduced
during each of the fiscal quarters in 2007. Results for the second quarter and
six months ended July 1, 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. This press release contains non-GAAP
measures which adjust net income and diluted earnings per share to exclude the
impact of these items. The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is intended
to enhance the usefulness of the financial information by providing measures
which the Company's management uses internally to evaluate the Company's
baseline performance. A reconciliation of net income and diluted earnings per
share follows:
