MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA REPORTS RECORD SALES FOR FISCAL 2014
THIRD QUARTER AND NINE-MONTHS

--Sales Up 29.4 Percent for Quarter--

LOS ANGELES, CA –February 10, 2014 – Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2014 third quarter and nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 – reflecting continued growth of its rotating electrical business and the second full quarter of contributions from the company’s wheel hub product line.

Net sales for the fiscal 2014 third quarter increased 29.4 percent to $65.6 million from $50.7 million for the same period last year. Net income for the quarter was $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with net income of $935,000, or $0.06 per diluted share, a year ago – reflecting the impact of mark-to-market warrant expense due to stock appreciation and the write-off of prior deferred loan origination fees associated with the previous loan.

Excluding certain costs and non-cash expenses noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below, adjusted net income for the fiscal 2014 third quarter was $5.9 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared with $2.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2014 third quarter was $21.9 million compared with $16.3 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 33.4 percent compared with 32.2 percent a year earlier. Gross profit in the current fiscal year benefited from enhanced utilization of our facilities, due in part to higher production and purchasing volume.

Net sales for the nine months increased 17.3 percent to $182.0 million from $155.1 million a year ago. Net income for the fiscal 2014 nine-month period was $104.3 million, or $7.04 per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $17.9 million, or $1.25 per share, a year ago. Results for the fiscal 2014 nine-month period reflect a nonrecurring gain on the deconsolidation of assets and liabilities of the company’s discontinued subsidiaries realized in the first fiscal quarter of 2014.

Excluding certain costs and non-cash expenses noted in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures tables below, adjusted net income for the nine-month period was $14.5 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared with $10.1 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, for the same period a year earlier.

“Results for the quarter benefitted from continued strong industry dynamics within the non-discretionary automotive aftermarket sector. We anticipate this momentum will continue, supported by an aging vehicle population and recent extreme weather conditions throughout most of the nation. I appreciate our team’s efforts in accomplishing industry-leading customer service levels,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts of America.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

We define adjusted net income (loss) as net income (loss) adjusted for certain items related to the company’s discontinued subsidiaries, as well as financing, consulting and other fees. We define Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net income (loss), plus interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted net income (loss) does not reflect many items that affect the company’s net income (loss), including many items related to company’s discontinued subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the impact of a number of items that affect the company’s net income, including financing costs and matters related to the company’s discontinued subsidiaries. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net income or income from operations as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) 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 net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) see the financial tables included in the press release.

Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer, and David Lee, chief financial officer, will host an investor conference call today at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time to discuss the company’s financial results and operations.

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 nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. 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 nine months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:
