Motorcar Parts of America Reports Strong Fiscal 2022 Second Quarter

  • Record net sales for the quarter and six-month period
  • Net sales for the quarter up 13.5 percent; 29.8 percent for six months; and 25.1 percent from the pre-COVID-19 six months
  • Net income for first half $4.5 million versus $12.2 million in the prior year, predominantly impacted by non-cash and non-economic foreign exchange items; and $38,000 for the pre-COVID-19 six-month period
  • Net income before impacting items for first half $21.8 million versus $15.1 million in the prior year (Exhibits attached); and $14.5 million for the pre-COVID-19 six-month period

Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2022 second quarter ended September 30, 2021 – reflecting record sales for a quarter and six-month period.

Net sales for the fiscal 2022 second quarter increased 13.5 percent to $175.5 million from $154.7 million a year ago, and 16.7 percent from the pre-COVID-19 fiscal second quarter two years ago. Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 included $13.7 million in core revenue compared with $12.8 million in the prior-year second quarter period, due to a realignment of inventory at customer distribution centers with expected future sales benefits as product mix changes.

Net income for the fiscal 2022 second quarter was $3.7 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with $15.2 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, a year ago. Details of items impacting net income totaling $0.49 per diluted share are shown in Exhibit 1.

“Net sales and profitability for the fiscal second quarter benefitted from continued strong demand for non-discretionary aftermarket parts, notwithstanding global supply chain challenges and disruptions that restrained our record sales performance. The company’s ongoing success continues to benefit from our multi-year strategic footprint expansion, with additional efficiencies expected to be realized moving forward,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts of America.

He emphasized that the company has instituted price increases to mitigate ongoing freight and supply chain cost increases, and that the demand outlook continues to be strong. Joffe noted that the gross margins for the quarter only reflect a small portion of the price increases.

“In addition, our presence in the electric vehicle market is continuing to gain momentum -- driven by increasing demand for battery power emulation, testing and development of inverters, electric motors, and high-speed battery-charging station applications offered by our wholly owned D&V subsidiary,” Joffe added.

Gross profit and operating expenses for the fiscal second quarter continued to be impacted by COVID-19 expenses related to safety, health initiatives, inefficiencies in the supply chain and incrementally higher freight costs totaling approximately $6.0 million on a pre-tax basis, or $0.23 per share on a tax-effected basis.

Net cash used in operating activities was $19.6 million for the fiscal 2022 second quarter and net debt was $120.6 million at September 30, 2021 compared with $97.6 million at June 30, 2021, reflecting working capital requirements to support the record sales for the quarter and inventory increases for anticipated business growth.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2022 second quarter was $36.0 million compared with $39.7 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal 2022 second quarter was 20.5 percent compared with 25.7 percent a year earlier. Gross margin was primarily impacted by higher costs related to COVID-19; brake caliper start-up costs and other product relocation expenses related to the expansion in Mexico; and other items, including non-cash and non-economic expenses totaling 5.1 percent, as detailed in Exhibit 3 of the press release. In addition to the above items, gross profit was further impacted by growth initiatives in connection with the expansion of the company’s new product lines, and inflationary costs related to the global pandemic, especially disruptions with worldwide supply chain and logistics services.

Six-Month Results

Net sales for the fiscal 2022 six-month period increased 29.8 percent to $324.6 million from $250.1 million a year earlier, and 25.1 percent from the pre-COVID-19 fiscal six-month period two years ago. Net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2021 included $13.7 million in core revenue compared with $12.8 million in the prior-year period, as discussed above.

Net income for the fiscal 2022 six-month period was $4.5 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared with net income of $12.2 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, a year ago. Details of items impacting net income totaling $0.88 per diluted share are shown in Exhibit 2.

Net cash used in operating activities was $24.3 million during the six months ended September 30, 2021, and net debt was $120.6 million at September 30, 2021 compared with $88.9 million at March 31, 2021, reflecting working capital requirements to support the record sales for the six-month period and inventory increases for anticipated business growth.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2022 six-month period was $59.5 million compared with $53.1 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal 2022 six-month period was 18.3 percent compared with 21.2 percent a year earlier. Details of items impacting gross profit as a percentage of net sales totaling 5.9 percent are shown in Exhibit 4.

Use of Non-GAAP Measure

This press release includes the following non-GAAP measure - EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. The company believes this non-GAAP measure, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s results of operations. However, this non-GAAP measure has significant limitations in that it does not reflect all the costs and other items associated with the operation of the company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. For a reconciliation of EBITDA to its corresponding GAAP measures, see the financial tables included in this press release. Also, refer to our Form 8-K to which this release is attached, and other filings we make with the SEC, for further information regarding these measures.

Additional Information and 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 additional information and non-GAAP financial measures for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Among other things, the company uses such additional information and non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in addition to and together with corresponding GAAP measures to help analyze the performance of its business.

The company believes this information helps provide a more complete understanding of the company's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the company's business. However, this information should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, information contained in the company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies.
