COLMAR, Pa., Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dorman Products, Inc. (the "Company" or "Dorman") (NASDAQ: DORM), a leading supplier in the motor vehicle aftermarket industry, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 28, 2025.

Kevin Olsen, Dorman's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We had an outstanding second quarter, with top- and bottom-line growth exceeding our expectations. Strong demand in our Light Duty business drove total net sales growth of 7.6% compared to last year's second quarter. Additionally, we continued to drive cost savings across the enterprise through our supply chain diversification, productivity, and automation initiatives, which contributed to a 25% increase in diluted EPS and a 23% increase in adjusted diluted EPS over the same period.

"With our strong performance through the first half of the year, along with our improved outlook, and the timing dynamics of when pricing and costs will be recognized from tariffs, we are raising our net sales and diluted EPS guidance ranges. For 2025, we now expect net sales growth to be in the range of 7% to 9%, diluted EPS to be in the range of $8.05 to $8.35, and adjusted diluted EPS to be in the range of $8.60 to $8.90."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(in thousands, except per-share amounts)

Our financial results include certain financial measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures, or considered in isolation, for the purpose of analyzing our operating performance, financial position or cash flows. Additionally, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. However, we have presented these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe this presentation, when reconciled to the corresponding GAAP measure, provides useful information to investors by offering additional ways of viewing our results, profitability trends, and underlying growth relative to prior and future periods and to our peers. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and in evaluating our performance. Non-GAAP financial measures may reflect adjustments for charges such as fair value adjustments, amortization, transaction costs, severance, accelerated depreciation, and other similar expenses related to acquisitions as well as other items that we believe are not related to our ongoing performance.

[1] - Pretax acquisition-related intangible asset amortization results from allocating the purchase price of acquisitions to the acquired tangible and intangible assets of the acquired business and recognizing the cost of the intangible asset over the period of benefit. Such costs were $5.4 million pretax (or $4.1 million after tax) and $10.9 million pretax (or $8.2 million after tax) during the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, respectively. Such costs were $5.5 million pretax (or $4.1 million after tax) and $11.0 million pretax (or $8.2 million after tax) during the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, respectively.

[2] - Pretax acquisition-related transaction and other costs include costs incurred to complete and integrate acquisitions. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, we incurred charges included in selling, general, and administrative expenses to complete and integrate acquisitions of $0.3 million pretax (or $0.2 million after tax) and $0.8 million pretax (or $0.6 million after tax), respectively.

During both the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, we incurred charges included in cost of goods sold for integration costs of $0.0 million pretax (or $0.0 million after tax). During the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, we incurred charges included in selling, general, and administrative expenses to complete and integrate acquisitions of $0.4 million pretax (or $0.3 million after tax) and $0.9 million pretax (or $0.7 million after tax), respectively.

[3] - Pretax reduction in workforce costs represents costs incurred in connection with our planned workforce reduction including severance and other payroll-related costs, insurance continuation costs, modifications of share-based compensation awards, and other costs directly attributable to the action. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, the expenses were $0.0 million pretax (or $0.0 million after tax) and $0.1 million pretax (or $0.1 million after tax), respectively. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, the expenses were $0.3 million pretax (or $0.2 million after tax) and $4.9 million pretax (or $3.7 million after tax), respectively.

[4] - Tax adjustments represent the aggregate tax effect of all non-GAAP adjustments reflected in the table above and totaled $(1.4) million and $(2.9) million during the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, respectively, and $(1.6) million and $(4.2) million during the three and six months ended June 29, 2024, respectively. Such items are estimated by applying our statutory tax rate to the pretax amount, or an actual tax amount for discrete items.
