MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA REPORTS FISCAL 2015 THIRD QUARTER AND
NINE-MONTH RESULTS

-- Strong Momentum Continues; Business Outlook Favorable --

LOS ANGELES, CA –February 9, 2015 – Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2015 third quarter ended December 31, 2014 – reflecting continued sales growth and profitability.
 
Net sales for the fiscal 2015 third quarter increased 28.1 percent to $84.0 million from $65.6 million for the same period a year earlier.  On an adjusted basis, net sales climbed 29.7 percent to $85.0 million from $65.6 million in fiscal 2014.  The company’s sales performance for the fiscal 2015 third quarter and year-to-date period reflects the benefits of recognizing net core revenue of $12.6 million that was previously deferred, as well as increased contributions from wheel hubs and the company’s emerging master cylinder business that commenced in late July 2014.
 
Net income for the quarter was $2.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, a year ago – reflecting a 22.0 percent increase in the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the fiscal 2015 period.
 
Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2015 third quarter increased 36.1 percent to $8.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, from $5.9 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, the same period a year earlier -- excluding certain expenses noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below.
 
Gross profit was $24.4 million compared with $21.9 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the fiscal 2015 third quarter was 29.1 percent compared with 33.4 percent a year earlier, primarily due to changes in the mix of products sold and ramp-up and related costs associated with new business that commenced in the fiscal 2015 fourth quarter.
 
Adjusted gross profit was $25.3 million compared with $21.9 million a year ago, representing a 15.2 percent increase.  Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months was 29.7 percent compared with 33.4 percent a year earlier.

Net sales for the fiscal 2015 nine-month period increased 19.7 percent to $217.8 million from $182.0 million for the same period a year earlier.  On an adjusted basis, net sales increased 25.3 percent to $229.8 million from $183.4 million in fiscal 2014.
 
Net income for the nine months was $8.4 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared with net income of $104.3 million, or $6.98 per diluted share, a year ago – reflecting the fiscal 2014 period impact of $100.9 million income from discontinued operations, as well as a 15.1 percent increase in the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding in the fiscal 2015 nine-month period.
 
Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2015 nine-month period increased 58.4 percent to $22.9 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, from $14.5 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier -- excluding certain expenses noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below.
 
Gross profit was $60.7 million compared with $57.6 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the fiscal 2015 nine-month period was 27.9 percent compared with 31.7 percent a year earlier.
 
Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of sales for the nine months was 31.7 percent compared with 32.2 percent a year earlier.  Adjusted gross profit was $72.9 million compared with $59.0 million a year ago, representing a 23.6 percent increase.
 
“Results for the quarter, while strong, were impacted by expenses related to the ramp up for new business that commenced in the current fourth quarter. We are well-positioned across expanding product lines, supported by new business wins, an aging vehicle population, lower fuel costs and positive operating synergies, as we complete our fiscal year and begin another.  Our team is passionate about building shareholder value through superior product quality and exemplary customer service levels,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts of America.
 
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
 
We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for certain items related to the company’s discontinued subsidiaries, as well as financing, consulting and other fees.  We define Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net income (loss), plus interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted net income (loss) does not reflect many items that affect the company’s net income (loss), including many items related to company’s discontinued subsidiaries.  Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of a number of items that affect the company’s net income, including financing costs and matters related to the company’s discontinued subsidiaries.  Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or income from operations as a measure of liquidity.  Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) have significant limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP.  For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) to net income (loss) see the financial tables included in the press release.

Reconciliation of 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 non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in this press release and in the webcast to discuss the Company's financial results for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Each of these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses and gains.  Among other things, the Company uses such non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in addition to and in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures to help analyze the performance of its business.
 
These non-GAAP adjusted financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company's operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company's results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company's business. However, these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Income statement information for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
