COLMAR, PENNSYLVANIA (October 27, 2017) – Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:DORM), a leading supplier in the automotive aftermarket, today announced results for the third quarter.
3rd Quarter Financial Results
Net Sales for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017 increased $11.8 million, or 5.6%, to $224.6 million from $212.8 million for the third quarter ended 2016. Diluted Earnings Per Share for the third quarter increased 3.9% to $0.80 per share from $0.77 per share in the third quarter of 2016.
“We are pleased with our performance this quarter despite a significant inventory reduction initiative at one of our major customers that reduced our growth rate by approximately 3%. The inventory reduction began late in the second quarter and moderated toward the end of the third quarter. Our investment in developing new products continues to pay off, positioning us well for the future. Year to date, our Heavy Duty (HD) Solutions lines are up 36% and our Complex Electronics lines are up 21%. Both of these initiatives continue to present significant future growth opportunities for Dorman. We also launched 954 unique SKU’s in the quarter which represents a 10% increase on a year to date basis. We remain excited about our new Chassis offering which accounted for approximately 1% of our total year to date revenue growth. Our outlook for the full year remains largely unchanged as we estimate annual sales growth to be in the 6% range and EPS growth to be in the high single digit range despite one less week in this year’s fourth quarter” said Matt Barton, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Gross Profit for the third quarter increased 6.0% to $88.1 million (or 39.2% of Net Sales) from $83.1 million (or 39.1% of Net Sales) in the third quarter of 2016. On a year to date basis, Gross Profit has expanded 60Bps from 39.0% in 2016 to 39.6% in 2017. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) for the third quarter increased 9.2% to $45.3 million (or 20.1% of sales) from $41.5 million (or 19.5% of sales) in the third quarter of 2016. Besides variable expenses tied to growth and general wage and benefit inflation, the growth in SG&A is primarily attributable to investment in product development and $0.9 million in additional accounts receivable sale costs compared to a year ago.
Operating Cash Flow was $17.4 million in the third quarter compared to $19.0 million in the same quarter last year. As previously discussed, we made additional investments in inventory to improve customer service levels in the second quarter. We believe inventory has plateaued and we expect it to decline slightly in the fourth quarter.
Under its share repurchase program, Dorman repurchased 342.9 thousand shares of its common stock for $24.0 million at an average share price of $69.98 during the third quarter ended September 30, 2017, bringing year to date purchases to 782.4 thousand shares at an average price of $75.41.
