LOS ANGELES, Nov. 09, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. MPAA today reported results for its fiscal 2016 second quarter– reflecting record sales and adjusted profitability, supported by strong growth in all product categories.

Net sales for the fiscal 2016 second quarter increased 29.4 percent to $91.7 million from $70.8 million for the same period a year earlier.  Adjusted for certain customer allowances for new business, net sales climbed 25.0 percent to $101.7 million from $81.4 million in the fiscal 2015 second quarter. The company's sales performance for the fiscal 2016 second quarter reflects continued strength of its rotating electrical and wheel hub business, as well as increased contributions from the company's emerging master cylinder product line.  The company recently introduced full-line master cylinder coverage, which includes remanufactured units.

The company reported a net loss for the fiscal second quarter of $1.4 million, or $0.08 per share, compared with net income of $1.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, a year ago – reflecting a one-time $9.3 million expense for the company's litigation settlement, net of insurance recoveries, in the June 2013 bankruptcy cases relating to discontinued subsidiaries.

Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2016 second quarter increased 15.9 percent to $11.8 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, from $10.2 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, in the same period a year earlier – as noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2016 second quarter increased 18.5 percent to $21.8 million from $18.4 million a year earlier.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the fiscal 2016 second quarter was 23.8 percent compared with 26.0 percent a year earlier.  Gross margin was impacted by product mix, as well as customer allowances related to the company's new remanufactured brake master cylinder line and additional rotating electrical business.

Adjusted gross profit was $31.4 million compared with $28.5 million a year ago.  Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months was 30.9 percent compared with an unusually strong 35.0 percent a year earlier.

Net sales for the fiscal 2016 six-month period increased 32.6 percent to $177.5 million from $133.8 million for the same period a year earlier.  Adjusted for certain customer allowances for new business, net sales climbed 30.1 percent to $188.4 million from $144.8 million in the same six-month period a year earlier.  The company's sales performance for first half of fiscal 2016, as noted above for the quarter, reflects continued strength of its rotating electrical and wheel hub business, as well as increased contributions from the company's emerging master cylinder product line.

Net income for the fiscal 2016 six-month period was $518,000 or $0.03 per diluted share, compared with net income of $5.4 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, a year ago – reflecting a one-time $9.3 million expense for the company's litigation settlement, net of insurance recoveries, in the June 2013 bankruptcy cases relating to discontinued subsidiaries.

Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2016 six-month period increased 35.3 percent to $20.1 million, or $1.07 per diluted share, from $14.9 million, or $0.91 per diluted share, in the same period a year earlier – as noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2016 six-month period increased 31.9 percent to $47.8 million from $36.2 million a year ago. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the same period was 26.9 percent compared with 27.1 percent a year earlier.  As noted above, gross margin was impacted by product mix, as well as customer allowances related to the company's new remanufactured brake master cylinder line and additional rotating electrical business.

Adjusted gross profit was $58.2 million compared with $47.7 million last year.  Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of sales for the six months was 30.9 percent compared with 32.9 percent a year earlier.

 "Results for the fiscal 2016 second quarter reflect continued strength across all product lines which bodes well for our success in the second half of fiscal 2016 – supported by an aging vehicle population, increased miles driven, positive operating synergies and product line expansion opportunities.  Our growth and success are attributable to the dedication of our entire team and their daily commitment to excellence, customer service and the company," said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts of America.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net sales, net income (loss), EBITDA, income from operations, gross profit or gross profit margin as a measure of financial performance.  Adjusted net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin 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 net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross profit margin to their corresponding GAAP measures, see the financial tables included in this 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 six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. 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 six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:
