COLMAR, Pa., Aug. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:DORM), a leading supplier in the automotive aftermarket, today announced sales and EPS for the second quarter.
2nd Quarter Financial Results
Net Sales for the second quarter ended July 1, 2017 increased $19.7 million, or 9.4%, to $229.3 million from $209.6 million for the second quarter ended 2016. Diluted Earnings Per Share for the second quarter increased 10.7% to $0.83 per share from $0.75 per share in the second quarter of 2016.
“The team delivered very solid results in the second quarter. Despite an overall challenging automotive aftermarket demand environment, our top line sales growth remained robust, driven by the continued growth of new products. Some key highlights in the Quarter were:
- We launched 1,011 Unique SKU’s in the second quarter, a 16% increase over last year
- Dorman HD Solutions sales grew 26% over the second quarter of 2016
- Complex Electronics lines grew 17% over the second quarter of 2016
In the quarter, we also started to realize meaningful revenue from the launch of our Dorman Premium full line chassis program. We are truly excited to see the results of a lot of hard work by the team as we strive to become a market leader in this category. Overall, we continue to execute well, and although we are very pleased with our first half growth, we remain cautious entering the back half of the year given current market conditions. However, our previously issued full year guidance for top and bottom line growth remains unchanged” said Matt Barton, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Gross Profit for the second quarter increased 10.6% to $90.9 million (or 39.6% of Net Sales) from $82.2 million (or 39.2% of Net Sales) in the second quarter of 2016. Product mix (higher sales concentration of higher margin products) was the main driver of the year over year Gross Margin percentage improvement. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses for the second quarter increased 11.4% to $45.9 million (or 20.0% of sales) from $41.2 million (or 19.6% of sales) in the second quarter of 2016. Continued investment in new product development, variable expenses tied to growth and general wage and benefit inflation drove the year over year increases.
Operating Cash Flow was $3.8 million in the quarter compared to $12.6 million in the same quarter last year. Investment in inventories (of approximately $29 million in the quarter), to ensure high customer fill rates, was the driver of the decreased Operating Cash Flows. We expect inventory to plateau in the third quarter and begin to decline slightly in the second half of the year.
Under its share repurchase program, Dorman repurchased 300.6 thousand shares of its common stock for $24.0 million at an average share price of $79.73 during the second quarter ended July 1, 2017, bringing year to date purchases to 439.5 shares at an average price of $79.64
