    Highlights:

    • Record net sales of $348.4 million, up 16% as compared to $300.6 million in Q3 2020.
    • Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.04, compared to $1.06 in Q3 2020.
    • Adjusted diluted EPS* of $1.18 compared to $1.14 in Q3 2020.
    • Completed acquisition of Dayton Parts, accelerating Dorman’s heavy-duty growth strategy.

    COLMAR, Pa., Oct. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (the “Company” or “Dorman”) (NASDAQ:DORM), a leading supplier in the automotive aftermarket industry, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 25, 2021.

    Third Quarter Financial Results
    Dorman reported quarterly net sales in the third quarter of 2021 of $348.4 million, up 16% as compared to net sales of $300.6 million in the third quarter of 2020. The strong net sales performance in the quarter reflected robust customer demand across all of the Company’s product channels and was underpinned by the addition of Dayton Parts. Year-over-year net sales growth, excluding Dayton Parts, was 7% as compared to the third quarter of 2020 and 26% as compared to the third quarter of 2019.

    Gross profit was $116.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, or 33.5% of net sales, compared to $107.8 million, or 35.9% of net sales for the same quarter last year. Adjusted gross margin* was 34.4% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to 36.6% in the same quarter last year. Dayton Parts had a 60bps dilutive impact on adjusted gross margin* in the third quarter, although Dayton Parts’ impact on operating income as a percentage of net sales was neutral. Similar to the second quarter of 2021, we experienced broad-based inflationary impacts due to global transportation and logistics constraints. Although pass-through price increases implemented will largely offset these inflationary impacts on a go-forward basis, we did not experience a full quarter of these price increases in the third quarter. Pricing increases implemented to pass through the increased costs had no added profit and consequently will result in a lower gross margin percentage.  

    Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $72.7 million, or 20.9% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $63.0 million, or 21.0% of net sales, in the same quarter last year. Adjusted SG&A expenses* were $70.4 million, or 20.2% of net sales, in the third quarter of 2021 compared to $61.9 million, or 20.6% of net sales, in the same quarter last year. The year-over-year decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales in the quarter was primarily due to leverage from the increase in net sales, partially offset by wage and benefits inflation.

    Income tax expense was $10.4 million in the third quarter of 2021, or 24.0% of income before income taxes, compared to $10.5 million, or 23.5% of income before income taxes, recorded in the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily driven by higher state income taxes.

    Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $33.1 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, compared to $34.3 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Adjusted net income* in the third quarter of 2021 was $37.6 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, compared to $36.8 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter.

    During the quarter, Dorman completed its acquisition of Dayton Parts, a complementary acquisition that accelerates Dorman’s heavy-duty growth strategy. To fund the acquisition, the Company used borrowings of $252 million under its new $600 million revolving credit facility and $102 million of cash on hand. The Company’s total net leverage ratio, as defined in that credit facility, was 0.80x at the end of the third quarter of 2021. The Company has $350 million available for borrowing under its credit facility and $57 million of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter of 2021.

    Kevin Olsen, Dorman’s President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I would like to start by thanking all of our Contributors, whose continued hard work and dedication to servicing our customers drove record breaking net sales performance in the third quarter. I am particularly pleased that our business continues to show strong consistent growth as demonstrated by net sales for the nine months ended September 2021 growing 16% year over year, excluding Dayton Parts. The underlying aftermarket industry fundamentals remain strong, and we continue to see robust customer demand across all channels. Delivering new and innovative solutions to the marketplace remains very much at the core of our strategy, and our new product launches have increased by 45% year to date as compared to the same period last year. Key highlights of our new product launches included new extensions to our park assist cameras line, a new upgraded Dorman® OE FIX™ aluminum oil filter housing solution, and aftermarket-exclusive hub rotor and caliper bracket bolt kits. These new products demonstrate the breadth and depth of Dorman’s innovation capabilities. Additionally, we are excited to have completed the acquisition of Dayton Parts in August, which was the largest acquisition in the Company’s history cementing our position in the heavy-duty aftermarket. This acquisition is highly complementary and presents additional opportunities for us to bring innovation to the aftermarket. Our teams, which share a culture of contribution, are working together to integrate our two businesses effectively, and results are on plan and meeting our expectations.

    “I am proud of how our organization is pulling together to service the robust customer demand we continue to experience despite the tight labor market and disrupted sourcing and logistical network that have increased costs and impacted fulfillment levels. Our strategy to deal with the increased costs associated with these inflationary challenges has been to offset them with pass-through pricing to maintain gross profit dollars, however this approach will result in a decline in gross margin percentage. Our strong, long-standing relationships with our suppliers and logistics partners, combined with the deep experience of our Contributors located both in the U.S. and abroad, gives us confidence in our ability to successfully manage through this market volatility.”

    2021 Guidance

     Updated GuidancePrevious Guidance
    Net Sales$1,300 - $1,330 million$1,263 - $1,300 million
    Growth vs 202019% - 22%16% - 19%
    Adjusted Diluted EPS*$4.56 - $4.80$4.56 - $4.80
       

    The Company has revised its previous guidance of full year net sales growth to now be from 19% - 22%, while its full year adjusted diluted EPS* guidance remains unchanged, at $4.56 - $4.80 per diluted share. The Company’s guidance includes the impact of the Dayton Parts acquisition but excludes any potential impacts from future acquisitions or further possible government-mandated shutdowns or supply chain disruptions caused by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

    Mr. Olsen continued, “Our updated guidance reflects our expectations for our performance given our results year to date, visibility into the remainder of the year, and our belief that the automotive aftermarket industry dynamics will remain strong throughout the remainder of 2021. We are adjusting our net sales guidance to reflect the expectation of continued strength in customer demand as well as the anticipated impact of pass-through pricing actions. While we anticipate that freight and material inflation costs will be a headwind to the Company throughout the remainder of the year, we have actions in place to help offset these impacts, and as a result we are not revising our adjusted diluted EPS* guidance. Finally, our balance sheet and liquidity remain strong, and we are well positioned to continue to execute on our strategic priorities.”

    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.
