Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. 2-2-2 Gross profit for the fiscal 2027 first quarter was $27.2 million compared with $33.9 million a year earlier. Gross margin for the same period was 16.2 percent compared with 18.0 percent a year ago. Gross margin was impacted by non-cash expenses of 2.4 percent and one-time items of 1.6 percent as detailed in Exhibit 2. Excluding these non-cash expenses and certain one-time cash items, gross margin was 20.2 percent. In addition, the company noted that gross margin was negatively impacted by approximately 2 percent, or $3.5 million, due to foreign currency fluctuations. Operating income for the fiscal 2027 first quarter was $3.5 million compared with $20.1 million in the prior year. Operating income was impacted by non-cash expenses of $4.7 million, and one-time items of $3.0 million as detailed in Exhibit 4. Operating income for the prior year benefited from non-cash items of $3.5 million, and partially offset by one-time cash expenses of $1.4 million, as detailed in Exhibit 4. Excluding these non-cash and certain one-time cash items, operating income was $11.2 million, which includes the $3.5 million unfavorable impact due to foreign currency fluctuations noted above, compared with $18.0 million in the prior year period. Interest expense for the fiscal 2027 first quarter decreased by $768,000 to $12.0 million from $12.8 million a year ago, primarily due to lower sales which resulted in lower utilization of accounts receivable discount programs. Net loss for the fiscal 2027 first quarter was $13.4 million, or $0.71 per share, compared with net income of $3.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the prior year. Net loss was impacted by non-cash expenses of $4.6 million, or $0.25 per share, and one-time items of $2.3 million, or $0.12 per share, as detailed in Exhibit 1, and other items noted above. “We remain confident about our ability to achieve our annual guidance, notwithstanding some expected sales head winds that we and the industry experienced in the first quarter,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer. He reemphasized the company’s significant new business commitments and opportunities in North America -- supported by strength across all product lines, in particular the additive Centric Parts brake business with estimated historical gross sales as high as $400 million at the supplier level. “We have received considerable customer interest in Centric Parts since our recent announcement,” Joffe added. Joffe highlighted the company recently announced the renewal of its loan agreement and extension of the maturity date of the revolver credit facility to August 2031 led by PNC Bank, N.A. The renewal recognizes the company’s milestones, solid position within the automotive aftermarket and management’s commitment to strategic growth and profitability. (more)

Use of Non-GAAP Measure This press release includes the following non-GAAP measure – EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. The company believes this non-GAAP measure, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s results of operations. However, this non-GAAP measure has significant limitations in that it does not reflect all the costs and other items associated with the operation of the company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company’s non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies. Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP. For a definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, its corresponding GAAP measure, see the financial tables included in this press release. Also, refer to our Form 8- K to which this release is attached, and other filings we make with the SEC, for further information regarding this measure.
