Dorman Products, Inc. Reports Sales and Earnings

For the Second Quarter Ended June 29, 2013

Second Quarter Highlights:

 

   

Sales increased 13% to $162.3 million.

 

   

Income from continuing operations increased 20% to $19.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share.

 

   

Operating margin increased to 19.0% from 17.8% during the same period last year.

COLMAR, PENNSYLVANIA (July 30, 2013) – Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:DORM) today announced sales for the second quarter ended June 29, 2013 of $162.3 million, an increase of 13% from $144.2 million in the second quarter of 2012. The Company also announced income from continuing operations of $19.3 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, for the second quarter ended June 29, 2013, up 20% from the prior year’s income from continuing operations of $16.1 million, or $0.44 per diluted share.

“Our growth continues to be fueled by our new product introductions, as 21% of our sales in the second quarter were from parts introduced in the last 24 months,” said Mr. Steven Berman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “During the first half of 2013, we released nearly 1,700 new parts to the automotive aftermarket, up from 1,300 in the first half of 2012.”

Gross profit margin was 39.7% for the second quarter ended June 29, 2013, compared to 36.9% for the same period last year. The improvement in margin is primarily the result of a favorable change in sales mix, lower transportation costs and a lower provision for excess and obsolete inventory during the quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 23% in 2013 to $33.6 million from $27.4 million in 2012. Cost increases were primarily the result of higher variable costs associated with the 13% sales growth, additional product development and selling expenses, and depreciation and other related support costs associated with our recent enterprise reporting system implementation.

For the six months ended June 29, 2013, sales increased 14% over the prior year period to $316.7 million from $279.0 million last year. Income from continuing operations in 2013 increased 22% to $38.4 million from $31.4 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations in 2013 rose 22% to $1.05 from $0.86 in the same period last year.

“Our success continues to be attributable to our contributors’ drive to deliver new products to the market, and our customers’ ability to have our parts immediately available to the technician and DIYer. We are continuing to make additional investments in new product development activities to expand the breadth of new product introductions,” said Mr. Berman.


We have begun an expansion of our Warsaw, Kentucky distribution facility to provide additional capacity to support the current and projected growth of the business. The addition and related equipment, which will cost approximately $7 million, will add approximately 170,000 square feet of warehouse space and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2013. Mr. Berman added, “We are excited with the opportunity to expand our operation in Warsaw and to offer additional employment opportunities in that community. We have every confidence in our contributors to meet the challenges of growing our business.”
