(Nasdaq: MPAA) today reported results for its fiscal 2021 first quarter ended June 30, 2020 -- reflecting the impact of industry softness in April with subsequent month-over-month increases in sales for the quarter, and extending into July.\n\n\nNet sales for the fiscal 2021 first quarter were $95.4 million compared with $109.1 million for the same period a year earlier.\n\n\nNet loss for the fiscal 2021 first quarter was $3.0 million, or $0.16 per share, compared with a net loss of $6.2 million, or $0.33 per share, a year ago.
