LOS ANGELES, Aug. 10, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq:MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2016 first quarter– reflecting record sales and adjusted profitability for a first quarter, supported by new business and product-line expansion contributions.
Net sales for the fiscal 2016 first quarter increased 36.3 percent to $85.8 million from $63.0 million for the same period a year earlier. On an adjusted basis, net sales climbed 36.6 percent to $86.6 million from $63.4 million in the fiscal 2015 first quarter -- excluding certain customer allowances related to new business. The company's sales performance for the fiscal 2016 quarter reflects new rotating electrical business gains, as well as increased contributions from wheel hubs and the company's emerging master cylinder business.
Net income for the quarter was $1.9 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared with net income of $3.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, a year ago – reflecting the impact of certain unusual items, as well as an 18.6 percent increase in the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the fiscal 2016 period.
Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2016 first quarter increased 77.0 percent to $8.4 million, or $0.44 per diluted share, from $4.7 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, the same period a year earlier -- excluding certain expenses noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below.
Gross profit increased 45.9 percent to $26.0 million from $17.8 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the fiscal 2016 first quarter was 30.3 percent compared with 28.3 percent a year earlier -- due primarily to product mix, overall lower per-unit costs related to improved purchasing, enhanced production and better overhead absorption. In addition, gross profit a year ago was impacted by certain start-up costs.
Adjusted gross profit was $26.8 million compared with $19.2 million a year ago, representing a 39.6 percent increase. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months was 30.9 percent compared with 30.2 percent a year earlier.
"Results for the fiscal 2016 first quarter reflect sales gains across all product lines, and we are well-positioned for continued success -- supported by an aging vehicle population, increased miles driven, positive operating synergies and product line expansion opportunities," 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 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 months ended June 30, 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.
