MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA REPORTS YEAR-END RESULTS

- Record Sales for the Fiscal Year; Operating Income Up Sharply;

Solid Outlook with Strong Cash Flow

LOS ANGELES, CA – June 11, 2024 – Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2024 fourth quarter and year ended March 31, 2024 – reflecting year-over-year increases in sales, operating income and cash flow from operating activities, despite industry softness in the fourth quarter.

Key highlights for the fiscal year.

•

Net sales increased 5.1 percent to $717.7 million.

•

Gross profit increased 16.3 percent to $132.6 million.

•

Gross margin increased 1.8 percentage points to 18.5 percent.

•

Operating income increased 26.5 percent to $46.1 million.

•

The company generated cash from operations of approximately $39.2 million.

Fiscal 2024 Fourth Quarter Results

Net sales for the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter were $189.5 million compared with $194.7 million in the prior year, impacted by industry softness. Sales in April and May 2024 indicate a strong start to the new fiscal year.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter was $34.8 million compared with $36.2 million a year earlier. Gross margin for the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter was 18.4 percent compared with 18.6 percent a year earlier. Gross margin for the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter was impacted by $3.7 million, or 2.0 percent, of non-cash items, and approximately $700,000, or 0.4 percent, of non-recurring cash items, as detailed in Exhibit 3.

2-2-2

Operating income for the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter was $12.2 million compared with $23.7 million in the prior year, impacted by $5.6 million of less favorable foreign exchange rate related gains associated with lease liabilities and forward contracts compared with the prior year and a $5.1 million employee retention credit benefit in the prior year.

Interest expense for the fiscal fourth quarter increased by $2.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, to $14.6 million from $11.9 million a year ago, primarily due to higher market interest rates and increased collection of receivables utilizing accounts receivable discount programs on higher sales, partially offset by lower average outstanding balances under the company’s credit facility.

Net income for the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter was $1.3 million compared with $1.5 million for the prior year. Net income for the fiscal 2024 fourth quarter was impacted by approximately $800,000, or $0.04 per diluted share, of non-cash items, and $1.2 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, of cash items, as detailed in Exhibit 1.

“Our fiscal 2024 results indicate continued progress in growing sales, increasing gross margins and gross profit and generating positive cash flow, which we expect to continue in the new fiscal year. Our brake-related product categories continue to gain momentum, which will result in gross margin accretion. We remain focused on executing our strategic plans, supported by positive cash flow and neutralizing working capital,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president, and chief executive officer.

Twelve-Month Results

Net sales for fiscal 2024 increased 5.1 percent to a record $717.7 million from $683.1 million, despite the industry softness in the fourth quarter as noted above.

Gross profit for fiscal 2024 increased 16.3 percent to $132.6 million from $114.0 million a year earlier. Gross margin for fiscal 2024 increased to 18.5 percent from 16.7 percent a year earlier. Gross margin for fiscal 2024 was impacted by $16.3 million, or 2.3 percent, of non-cash items, and $7.5 million, or 1.0 percent, of non-recurring cash items, as detailed in Exhibit 4.

Operating income for fiscal 2024 increased 26.5 percent to $46.1 million from $36.4 million in the prior year.

Interest expense for fiscal 2024 increased by $20.5 million, or $0.78 per share, to $60.0 million from $39.6 million a year ago, primarily due to higher market interest rates and increased collection of receivables utilizing accounts receivable discount programs on higher sales, partially offset by lower average outstanding balances under the company’s credit facility.

3-3-3

Due primarily to $50.3 million, or $2.56 per share, of non-cash items, including a $38.0 million U.S. federal and state deferred tax asset valuation allowance under U.S. GAAP, or $1.94 per share, net loss for fiscal 2024 was $49.2 million, or $2.51 per share, compared with a net loss of $4.2 million, or $0.22 per share, a year ago. The valuation allowance does not impact any operating metrics. The non-cash items discussed above, and cash items of $7.0 million, or $0.36 per share, are detailed in Exhibit 2.

The company generated approximately $39.2 million of cash from operating activities during fiscal 2024 and reduced net bank debt by $32.5 million to $114.0 million from $146.5 million, notwithstanding $9.3 million cash used in operating activities during the fourth quarter due to seasonality of the company’s business.

Further Considerations

•

Sales volume improving:

Ordering activity has gained momentum.

Industry fundamentals are improving and will drive product demand.

•

Margin improvement:

Enhanced by multiple rounds of price increases.

Improving overhead absorption as brake-related business gains further momentum.

Improving operational efficiencies through volume increases.

•

Strong cash flow outlook.

Fiscal 2025 Guidance

Motorcar Parts of America expects net sales for its fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 to be between $746 million to $766 million, representing between 3.9 percent and 6.7 percent year-over-year growth. Operating income is expected to be between $62 million and $67 million, before the non-cash foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts and the non-cash impact of revaluation of cores on customers’ shelves. The company estimates other non-cash items will be approximately $17 million, including core and finished goods premium amortization and share-based compensation. The company estimates depreciation and amortization will be approximately $11 million.

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 definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, its corresponding GAAP measure, 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 this measure.

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 twelve months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. 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.
