MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA REPORTS FISCAL 2018
FIRST QUARTER RESULTS

-- Recent Tester Systems Acquisition Expected to Drive Growth and Further Distinguish Company’s Leadership Position in Automotive Sector--

LOS ANGELES, CA –August 9, 2017 – Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported record sales for its fiscal 2018 first quarter on a reported and adjusted basis.

Net sales for the fiscal 2018 first quarter increased 11.3 percent to $95.1 million from $85.4 million for the same period a year earlier. The company’s sales performance for the fiscal 2018 first quarter reflects continued strength of its rotating electrical business, as well as contributions from its other product lines -- including the company’s emerging brake power boosters, which began shipping last August.

All results labeled as “adjusted” in this press release are non-GAAP measures as discussed more fully below under the heading “Use of Non-GAAP Measures.”

Adjusted net sales for the fiscal 2018 first quarter increased 1.3 percent to $95.1 million from $93.8 million a year earlier.

Net income for the fiscal 2018 first quarter was $7.6 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, compared with $7.5 million, or $0.39 per share, a year ago.

Adjusted net income for the fiscal 2018 first quarter was $7.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared with $10.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the same period a year earlier.

Gross profit for the fiscal 2018 first quarter was $25.8 million compared with $20.4 million a year earlier. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the fiscal 2018 first quarter was 27.2 percent compared with 23.9 percent a year earlier. The gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the year ago period was impacted by customer allowances and return accruals related to new business.

Adjusted gross profit for the fiscal 2018 first quarter was $27.2 million compared with $30.3 million a year ago. Adjusted gross profit as a percentage of adjusted net sales for the three months was 28.6 percent compared with 32.3 percent a year earlier. The current quarter adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales was impacted by higher returns.

“We begin our new fiscal year well-positioned within a $125 billon aftermarket hard parts industry, with a strong focus on organic growth, product line expansion and complementary acquisition opportunities,” said Selwyn Joffe, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Motorcar Parts of America.

“Despite some industry-wide softness in the first quarter due to various factors, including a mild winter as has been widely discussed by industry leaders, we achieved record sales for the quarter on a reported and adjusted basis. The outlook for non-discretionary automotive parts is strong, and we remain encouraged by the numerous opportunities for growth as we harness our distribution relationships, leverage our scale, global footprint and financial strength to deliver growth and profits to shareholders. We anticipate increased sales volume as demand and order timing re-align to support the favorable industry dynamics. As always, we thank our entire team for their day-in and day-out commitment to excellence and our company,” Joffe said.

As previously announced, Motorcar Parts of America last month acquired D&V Electronics, an Ontario, Canada-based company focused on designing and manufacturing leading edge tester systems utilized for a variety of applications – including: alternators, starters, electric motors, inverters and belt starter generators for both the OE and aftermarket.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes the following non-GAAP measures - adjusted net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin, which 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. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s results of operations. However, these non-GAAP measures have significant limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP. 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 reconciliation of adjusted net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to their corresponding GAAP measures, 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 these adjustments.

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 months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. 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.
