LOS ANGELES, Feb. 09, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq:MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2016 third quarter and nine months – reflecting record sales and profitability for a quarter, supported by strong growth across all product categories.
Net sales for the fiscal 2016 third quarter increased 11.9 percent to $94.0 million from $84.0 million for the same period a year earlier. The company’s sales performance for the fiscal 2016 third quarter reflects continued strength of its rotating electrical and wheel hub business, as well as increased contributions from the company’s emerging master cylinder product line. The company’s sales and profit performance for the prior fiscal 2015 third quarter reflects the benefits of recognizing net core revenue of $12.6 million that was previously deferred.
Net income for the fiscal 2016 third quarter was $7.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, a year ago.
Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2016 third quarter increased 23.5 percent to $9.9 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, from $8.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, in the same period a year earlier – as noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below.
Gross profit for the fiscal 2016 third quarter increased 18.3 percent to $28.9 million from $24.4 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the fiscal 2016 second quarter was 30.7 percent compared with 29.1 percent a year earlier. Gross margin benefited from better overhead absorption, including favorable purchasing and production metrics.
Adjusted gross profit was $29.7 million compared with $25.3 million a year ago. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months was 31.5 percent compared with 29.7 percent a year earlier.
Net sales for the fiscal 2016 nine-month period increased 24.7 percent to $271.5 million from $217.8 million for the same period a year earlier. Adjusted for certain customer allowances for new business, net sales were $282.4 million compared with $229.8 million in the same nine-month period a year earlier. As noted above, the company’s sales and profit performance for the prior year period reflects the benefits of recognizing net core revenue of $12.6 million that was previously deferred.
Net income for the fiscal 2016 nine-month period was $8.3 million or $0.44 per diluted share, compared with net income of $8.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, a year ago. Results for the fiscal 2016 nine-month period reflect the impact of a one-time $9.3 million expense for the company’s litigation settlement, net of insurance recoveries, in the June 2013 bankruptcy cases relating to discontinued subsidiaries, which was partially offset by a $5.8 million gain in connection with a separate litigation settlement related to discontinued subsidiaries.
Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2016 nine-month period increased 31.2 percent to $30.1 million, or $1.59 per diluted share, from $22.9 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, in the same period a year earlier – as noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below.
Gross profit for the fiscal 2016 nine-month period increased 26.5 percent to $76.7 million from $60.7 million a year ago. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the same period was 28.3 percent compared with 27.9 percent a year earlier.
Adjusted gross profit was $87.8 million compared with $72.9 million last year. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of sales for the nine months was 31.1 percent compared with 31.7 percent a year earlier.
“Results for the fiscal 2016 third quarter reflect continued strength across all product lines – supported by an aging vehicle population, increased miles driven, positive operating synergies and product line expansion. As always, our growth and success are attributable to the dedication of our entire team and their daily commitment to excellence, customer service and the company,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts of America.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net sales, net income (loss), EBITDA, income from operations, gross profit or gross profit margin as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin 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 net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin to their corresponding GAAP measures, see the financial tables included in this 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 nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. 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.
