About this update from Dorman Products, Inc.

Highlights (All comparisons are to the prior year period unless otherwise noted) : COLMAR, Pa., Aug. 03, 2026 (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 27, 2026. Kevin Olsen, Dorman's Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Our second quarter results included record earnings and strong cash flow generation, reflecting both solid operating performance and the recovery of IEEPA tariff costs recognized in prior periods. Year-over-year, net sales for the quarter increased 1% to $545 million, diluted EPS increased 53% to $2.93, and adjusted diluted EPS increased 50% to $3.08. In addition, we generated $153 million of operating cash flow in the quarter and returned capital to shareholders through $47 million of share repurchases. We believe our cash flow generation positions the company well to make strategic investments and drive long-term growth. "Given our performance through the first half of the year and targeted pricing actions we are taking as a result of a more stable tariff environment, we are updating our full-year 2026 guidance. We now expect net sales growth of 3% to 5%, diluted EPS in the range of $7.93 to $8.23, and adjusted diluted EPS in the range of $8.50 to $8.80. "Supported by our strengthened balance sheet, expanded liquidity from our recent debt refinancing, and the strategic advantages of our diversified supplier network and innovation engine, we remain confident in our ability to deliver differentiated solutions for our customers and strong value for our shareholders."

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.
