COLMAR, Pa., Oct. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company” or “Dorman”) (NASDAQ:DORM), a leading supplier in the motor vehicle aftermarket industry, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 24, 2022.
Third Quarter Financial Results
The Company reported third quarter 2022 net sales of $413.5 million, up 19% compared to net sales of $348.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. The growth in net sales reflects a continuation of favorable underlying industry dynamics across all customer channels, successful new product launches, the addition of Dayton Parts, and price increases to offset inflationary costs. Net sales growth excluding Dayton Parts was 8% compared to the third quarter of 2021.
Gross profit was $131.9 million in the third quarter of 2022, or 31.9% of net sales, compared to $116.9 million, or 33.5% of net sales for the same quarter last year. Adjusted gross margin* was 32.0% in the third quarter of 2022 compared to 34.4% in the same quarter last year. The decline in gross margin as a percentage of net sales is largely due to broad-based inflationary cost pressures. The Company implemented price increases and cost-savings initiatives to offset these costs, which maintained gross profit dollars but resulted in a lower gross margin percentage.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $89.8 million, or 21.7% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $72.7 million, or 20.9% of net sales, for the same quarter last year. The increase in SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales was due primarily to higher factoring expense, amortization of intangibles and transaction-related expenses, partially offset by improved leverage from the increase in net sales and lower wages and benefits expenses. Adjusted SG&A expenses* were $82.3 million, or 19.9% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $70.4 million, or 20.2% of net sales, in the same quarter last year. The decrease in adjusted SG&A expenses* as a percentage of net sales was due primarily to improved leverage from the increase in net sales and lower wages and benefits expenses, partially offset by the impact of higher interest rates on factoring expenses.
Income tax expense was $9.1 million, or 22.9% of income before income taxes, compared to $10.4 million, or 24.0% of income before income taxes, in the same quarter last year. The decrease in the effective tax rate was due to favorable discrete items in the quarter, partially offset by higher Canadian income tax associated with the Canadian operations acquired as part of the Dayton Parts acquisition.
Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $30.6 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, compared to $33.1 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income* in the third quarter of 2022 was $37.0 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $37.6 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. In addition to the factors described above, net income for the third quarter of 2022 was also impacted by an additional $1.6 million of net interest expense. The higher expense in comparison to the third quarter of 2021 was primarily from a full quarter of outstanding borrowings in 2022 under our revolving credit facility, used to complete the acquisition of Dayton Parts in August 2021, compared to a partial period of outstanding borrowings in the prior year quarter. Additionally, interest expense was negatively impacted by significantly higher interest rates in the current quarter.
After the close of the third quarter, Dorman completed the acquisition of SuperATV, expanding Dorman’s product offering into the innovative and rapidly growing powersports aftermarket. The Company acquired the business for $490 million in cash at closing, plus a two-year earnout of up to $100 million in the aggregate based on the achievement of 2023 and 2024 performance targets. Adjusted for approximately $45 million of estimated tax benefits, the transaction value is $445 million, excluding the potential earn-out. The transaction was financed with a five-year $500 million incremental term loan obtained in connection with an amendment to the Company’s existing credit agreement. As of the October 4, 2022 closing date of the transaction, the Company’s total net leverage ratio, as defined in the amended credit agreement, was estimated to be approximately 2.3x, with approximately $360 million remaining available for borrowing under its revolving credit facility.
As of the end of the third quarter, the Company was in the final stages of opening a new distribution center in Whiteland, Indiana, which is expected to begin shipping products in late October. The facility is approximately 830,000 square feet, making it one of Dorman’s largest distribution centers and significantly increasing the Company’s fulfillment capacity to accommodate future growth plans. Dorman expects to see enhanced efficiencies and improved shipping times from this facility by leveraging a state-of-the-art warehouse management system and automation technology. The Company incurred $1.9 million of start-up costs in the quarter related to the opening of the new distribution center. The Company also has begun to retrofit other key distribution centers with state-of-the-art automation, which the Company expects will facilitate a lower cost to serve, greater flexibility and an enhanced customer experience.
Kevin Olsen, Dorman’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are encouraged by the continued strength in the underlying markets we serve, driving strong topline growth. Fundamentals across the vehicle aftermarket remain strong, as vehicle miles driven continue to increase, the average age of vehicles continues to rise, the number of cars in the 8 to 13-year-old sweet spot for the aftermarket continues to grow, and the lack of availability of new vehicles benefits the aftermarket. Based on these favorable trends, we are optimistic about the future demand profile of the aftermarket.
“Inflationary cost pressures, however, have a more mixed outlook. The rapidly increasing interest rates continue to weigh on our results (negatively impacting diluted EPS by approximately $0.17 for the quarter due to higher factoring expense) and are challenging to manage due to their immediate impact. Conversely, we are encouraged by signs of global supply chain constraints easing, which we expect will lead to significantly lower ocean freight and commodity costs that will be reflected in future quarter results, and should result in margin improvements.
“During the third quarter, we continued to drive market-leading product innovation across our business. We launched numerous new OE FIX™ products, including an upgraded window regulator for certain electric vehicles, a pre-programmed fuel pump driver module, and a power band clamp for millions of Ram trucks. Our OE FIX products are re-engineered to increase reliability and improve the repair experience for our end customers and technicians alike.”
Mr. Olsen added, “Continuing with the themes of growth and innovation, we are particularly pleased to have closed on the SuperATV acquisition just a few weeks ago. While SuperATV will largely operate independently from our light-, medium- and heavy-duty automotive business, it fits with our strategy of diversifying into high-growth, adjacent markets. With a similar, innovation-focused culture, we are excited to expand upon their extensive portfolio of widely recognized brands and proprietary products to drive growth in the powersports aftermarket.”
2022 Guidance
The Company is updating its full-year 2022 guidance, detailed in the table below, which includes the impact of the SuperATV acquisition for the remainder of the year, which we expect will add approximately $50 million in net sales and low-single-digit cents per share in Adjusted Diluted EPS*. This guidance excludes any potential impacts from future acquisitions, further supply chain disruptions, or share repurchases.
Mr. Olsen stated, “We have incurred significantly higher factoring expenses due to continued and aggressive actions by the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. This has led to higher costs in the third quarter than we anticipated and will negatively impact fourth quarter results as well. Rising interest rates present a challenge for us as expenses related to higher rates are immediately recognized in the period they are incurred, while the impact of our actions to mitigate these expenses are expected to occur in future periods. While we expect to offset the impact of higher interest rates through pricing and cost-saving initiatives, we also expect continued timing lags in offsetting these higher expenses and have lowered EPS guidance to reflect this impact. Despite these challenges, we remain very optimistic about the future against a backdrop of strong consumer demand for our current products and our pipeline of innovative new products, and by the easing of inflationary pressures, particularly on ocean freight, commodity pricing and a strengthened U.S. dollar.”

*Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to the financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this earnings release also contains Non-GAAP financial measures. The reasons why we believe these measures provide useful information to investors and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to these Non-GAAP measures are included in the supplemental schedules attached. A reconciliation of 2022 fiscal year adjusted diluted EPS to diluted EPS is not provided because the Company is unable to do so without unreasonable effort because of the potential impact of purchase accounting related to the acquisition of SuperATV. Although the effects of purchase accounting are generally excluded for purposes of the Company’s measure of adjusted diluted EPS, these effects could have a significant effect on diluted EPS calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(in thousands, except per-share amounts)
Our financial results include certain financial measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures, or considered in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position or cash flows. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. However, we have presented these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe this presentation, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing our results, profitability trends, and underlying growth relative to prior and future periods and to our peers. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. Non-GAAP financial measures may reflect adjustments for charges such as fair value adjustments, amortization, transaction costs, severance, accelerated depreciation, and other similar expenses related to acquisitions as well as other items that we believe are not related to our ongoing performance.

[1] – Pretax acquisition-related intangible asset amortization results from allocating the purchase price of acquisitions to the acquired tangible and intangible assets of the acquired business and recognizing the cost of the intangible asset over the period of benefit. Such costs were $3.0 million pretax (or $2.2 million after tax) during the three months ended September 24, 2022 and $9.0 million pretax (or $6.8 million after tax) during the nine months ended September 24, 2022 and were included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Such costs were $1.2 million pretax (or $0.9 million after tax) during the three months ended September 25, 2021 and $2.8 million pretax (or $2.1 million after tax) during the nine months ended September 25, 2021 and were included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
[2] – Pretax acquisition-related transaction and other costs include costs incurred to complete and integrate acquisitions, adjustments to contingent consideration obligations, inventory fair value adjustments and facility consolidation and start-up expenses. During the three and nine months ended September 24, 2022, we incurred charges included in cost of goods sold for integration costs, other facility consolidation expenses and inventory fair value adjustments of $0.3 million pretax (or $0.2 million after tax) and $4.4 million pretax (or $3.3 million after tax), respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 24, 2022, we incurred charges included in selling, general and administrative expenses to complete and integrate acquisitions, adjustments to contingent consideration obligations, and facility consolidation and start-up expenses of $4.6 million pretax (or $3.9 million after tax) and $5.2 million pretax (or $4.4 million after tax), respectively.
During the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021, we incurred charges included in cost of goods sold for integration costs, severance, other facility consolidation expenses, inventory fair value adjustments and inventory transfer costs of $3.1 million pretax (or $2.3 million after tax) and $3.1 million pretax (or $2.4 million after tax), respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021, we incurred charges included in selling, general and administrative expenses to complete and integrate acquisitions of $1.0 million pretax (or $1.2 million after tax) and $5.1 million pretax (or $4.3 million after tax), respectively.
[3] – Tax adjustments represent the aggregate tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments reflected in the table above, and totaled $(1.5) million and $(3.9) million during the three and nine months ended September 24, 2022, respectively, and $(0.9) million and $(2.2) million during the three and nine months ended September 25, 2021, respectively. Such items are estimated by applying our statutory tax rate to the pretax amount, or an actual tax amount for discrete items.
