COLMAR, Pa., May 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company” or “Dorman”) (NASDAQ: DORM), a leading supplier in the motor vehicle aftermarket industry, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended March 29, 2025.

Kevin Olsen, Dorman’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We started the year with outstanding performance, including solid top- and bottom-line growth in the first quarter. Total net sales increased 8.3%, driven by strong customer demand in our Light Duty segment. This top-line growth, along with our continuing operational excellence initiatives, drove an impressive 78% increase in diluted EPS and a 54% increase in adjusted diluted EPS*. These results further support our outlook for continued growth in our underlying business in 2025.

“While the recently enacted tariffs are expected to have a significant impact on the entire motor vehicle aftermarket and its global supply chain, we believe we are well-positioned to deliver for our customers and end-users. Over the last several years, we have diversified our supply chain, built deep relationships with our suppliers and customers, invested in innovation and strong brands, and strengthened our balance sheet and liquidity position. These actions have built resiliency within our business, and we believe we have the experience and talent to navigate the economic challenges ahead.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(in thousands, except per-share amounts)

Our financial results include certain financial measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures, or considered in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position or cash flows. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. However, we have presented these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe this presentation, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing our results, profitability trends, and underlying growth relative to prior and future periods and to our peers. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. Non-GAAP financial measures may reflect adjustments for charges such as fair value adjustments, amortization, transaction costs, severance, accelerated depreciation, and other similar expenses related to acquisitions as well as other items that we believe are not related to our ongoing performance.

[1] – Pretax acquisition-related intangible asset amortization results from allocating the purchase price of acquisitions to the acquired tangible and intangible assets of the acquired business and recognizing the cost of the intangible asset over the period of benefit. Such costs were $5.5 million pretax (or $4.1 million after tax) during both the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024.

[2] – Pretax acquisition-related transaction and other costs include costs incurred to complete and integrate acquisitions. During the three months ended March 29, 2025, we incurred charges included in selling, general and administrative expenses to complete and integrate acquisitions of $0.5 million pretax (or $0.4 million after tax).

During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we incurred charges included in cost of goods sold for integration costs of $0.0 million pretax (or $0.0 million after tax). During the three months ended March 30, 2024, we incurred charges included in selling, general and administrative expenses to complete and integrate acquisitions of $0.5 million pretax (or $0.4 million after tax).

[3] – Pretax reduction in workforce costs represents costs incurred in connection with our planned workforce reduction including severance and other payroll-related costs, insurance continuation costs, modifications of share-based compensation awards, and other costs directly attributable to the action. During the three months ended March 29, 2025 and March 30, 2024, the expenses were $0.1 million pretax (or $0.1 million after tax) and $4.6 million pretax (or $3.5 million after tax), respectively.

[4] – Tax adjustments represent the aggregate tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments reflected in the table above and totaled $(1.5) million during the three months ended March 29, 2025, and $(2.5) million during the three months ended March 30, 2024. Such items are estimated by applying our statutory tax rate to the pretax amount, or an actual tax amount for discrete items.
