MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA REPORTS FISCAL 2013 FIRST QUARTER

--Significant Acquisition Transition Progress Continues Subsequent to June 2012 First Quarter;
Rotating Electrical Business Remains Strong--

LOS ANGELES, CA – November 28, 2012 – Motorcar Parts of America, Inc.
(Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2013 first quarter ended June 30, 2012 – reflecting ongoing operating strength of its rotating electrical business and continued progress in the undercar product line transition with an anticipated completion by May 2013.
 
Net sales for the fiscal 2013 first quarter increased 26.3 percent to $89.0 million from $70.5 million for the same period last year.  As anticipated, due to the operating losses of the company’s undercar product line segment as the transition and turnaround of Fenco continues, the company reported a net loss for the fiscal 2013 first quarter of $9.9 million, or $0.71 per share, compared with a net loss of $8.3 million, or $0.68 per share, for the comparable period a year earlier.  Excluding certain undercar-related transition and non-cash expenses noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below, results for the fiscal 2013 first quarter on a consolidated basis would have been a net loss of $4.5 million, or $0.32 per share.
 
Reflecting the impact of higher interest expense for the fiscal 2013 first quarter, non-GAAP adjusted net income for the rotating electrical segment was $2.0 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared with $2.8 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, a year earlier.  Operating income for the rotating electrical segment increased to $6.7 million for the fiscal 2013 first quarter compared with $4.8 million a year ago. On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, EBITDA for the company’s rotating electrical segment was $7.8 million, a record for a first quarter, compared with $6.5 million for the same period a year earlier.
 
Gross profit for the fiscal 2013 first quarter was $12.1 million compared with $7.0 million for the same period a year ago. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal 2013 first quarter was 13.6 percent compared with 10.0 percent in the same quarter a year ago.
 
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the rotating electrical business segment for the fiscal 2013 first quarter was 31.7 percent compared with 32.1 percent in fiscal 2012 first quarter.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the undercar segment was -6.4 percent for the fiscal 2013 first quarter compared with -17.5 percent for the fiscal 2012 first quarter.  Gross profit for the undercar segment was impacted by an inefficient operating structure, unprofitable product lines, inadequate legacy pricing and transition costs which are the focus of the transition plan discussed above.

“Notwithstanding Fenco’s (undercar segment) results for the fiscal 2013 first quarter, we have made significant progress subsequent to June, which continues to support our previous targeted EBITDA guidance of $15 million run rate starting in May 2013.  It is important to note that the results for the June quarter provide a dated perspective with regard to the progress made and we are working diligently to become current with our financial reporting next month,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts.
 
He added that the company’s rotating electrical business continues to be robust and provides a proven template going forward for the undercar segment.
 
Use of EBITDA
                   
EBITDA does not reflect the impact of a number of items that affect the company’s net income, including financing and acquisition-related costs.  EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or income from operations as a measure of performance, nor as alternative to net cash from operating activities as a measure of liquidity.  EBITDA has significant limitations as an analytical tool, 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 net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to EBITDA, 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 or in the webcast to discuss the Company's financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. 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.

Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company has begun providing segment information.  The two segments are defined as rotating electrical and acquired Fenco products now referred to as the undercar segment. Currently all corporate expenses are included under the rotating electrical segment.  Income statement information relating to the Company’s reportable segments for the three months ended June 30, 2012 is as follows:
