Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 2024 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2023

  1. Basis of Presentation

As used herein, unless the context requires otherwise, “Dorman,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refers to Dorman Products, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Our ticker symbol on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC is “DORM.”

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and under the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. However, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024 or any future period. We may experience significant fluctuations from quarter to quarter in our results of operations due to the timing of orders placed by our customers and the introduction of new products and product lines to customers. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

  1. Sales of Accounts Receivable

We have entered several customer-sponsored programs administered by unrelated financial institutions that permit us to sell (factor) certain accounts receivable at discounted rates to the financial institutions. Transactions under these agreements were accounted for as sales of accounts receivable and the related accounts receivable were removed from our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at the times of the sales transactions.

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

Acquisitions

We have contingent consideration related to acquisitions due to the uncertainty of the ultimate amount of any payments that will become due as earnout payments if performance targets are achieved. If the remaining performance targets for the acquisitions are fully achieved, the maximum additional contingent payments to be made under the transaction documents would be $102.0 million in aggregate.

As of September 28, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we estimated that no such contingent payments are expected to become due in connection with the acquisitions, and therefore accrued no liability.

The contingent consideration liability is measured each reporting period and recorded at fair value. The inputs used to calculate the fair value of the contingent consideration liability are considered to be Level 3 inputs due to the lack of relevant observable market activity and significant management judgment. The approach to valuing the contingent consideration uses unobservable factors such as projected revenues and cost of goods sold over the term of the earnout period, discounted for the period over which the contingent consideration is measured, and volatility rates. Based upon these assumptions, the contingent consideration is then valued using a Monte Carlo simulation. An increase in future revenue and gross profit may result in a higher estimated fair value, while a decrease in future revenue and gross profit may result in a lower estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability.

Other Contingencies

We are a party to or otherwise involved in legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, such as various claims and legal actions involving contracts, employment claims, competitive practices, intellectual property infringement, product liability claims and other matters arising out of the conduct of our business. In the opinion of management, none of the actions, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account relevant insurance coverage, would likely have a material financial impact on the Company and we believe the range of reasonably possible losses from current matters, taking into account relevant insurance coverage, is immaterial. However, legal matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and there exists the possibility that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s cash flows, financial position or results of operations in the period in which any such effects are recorded.

  1. Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”) and Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

We grant RSUs, and prior to January 2020 we granted RSAs, to participants in our equity plans. Performance-based RSUs granted in the nine months ended September 28, 2024 included certain grants that vest based on our total shareholder return ranking relative to the Nasdaq US Benchmark Auto Parts Index over athree-year performance period (market condition), and other grants that vest based upon achievement of return on invested capital targets over athree-year performance period (performance condition).

Compensation cost related to RSA and RSU grants was $3.4 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and $9.1 million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and was included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table summarizes our RSA and RSU activity for the nine months ended September 28, 2024:

SharesWeightedAverageFair Value
Balance at December 31, 2023257,554$97.33

Vested(72,701)$89.90
Canceled(28,792)$112.06
Balance at September 28, 2024343,706$98.56

For the nine months ended September 28, 2024, we granted 32,109 performance-based RSUs containing a market condition with a grant date fair value of $138.58 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we granted 29,399 performance-based RSUs containing a market condition with a grant date fair value of $113.15 per share.

As of September 28, 2024, there was $21.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSA and RSU grants that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Stock Options

From time to time, we grant stock options to participants in our equity plans. Compensation cost related to stock option grants was $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and $1.1 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and was included as selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table summarizes our stock option activity for the nine months ended September 28, 2024:

Exercisable at September 28, 2024174,775$83.344.1$5,284

As of September 28, 2024, there was $2.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP")

During the nine months ended September 28, 2024, we issued 13,555 shares under the ESPP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we issued 14,975 shares under the ESPP.

  1. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share was calculated by dividing our net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested RSAs which are considered to be contingently issuable. To calculate diluted earnings per share, common share equivalents are added to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common share equivalents are calculated using the treasury stock method and are computed based on outstanding stock-based awards.

For the three months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023, there were approximately 214,000 shares and 294,000 shares, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 28, 2024 and September 30, 2023 there were approximately 253,000 shares and 295,000 shares, respectively, that were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share:

  1. Common Stock Repurchases

We periodically repurchase, at the then current market price, and cancel common stock issued to the Dorman Products, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Plan and Trust (the “401(k) Plan”). 401(k) Plan participants can no longer purchase shares of Dorman common stock as an investment option under the 401(k) Plan. Shares are generally purchased by the Company from the 401(k) Plan when participants sell units as permitted by the 401(k) Plan or elect to leave the 401(k) Plan upon retirement, termination or other reasons. The following table summarizes the repurchase and cancellation of common stock by the Company for the periods indicated:

Three Months EndedNine Months Ended

Total cost of shares repurchased and canceled (in thousands)$262$181$1,048$1,009
Average price per share$108.70$89.99$91.85$85.11

Separately, our Board of Directors previously authorized the repurchase of up to $600 million of our common stock through December 31, 2024 under a share repurchase program and subsequent authorizations (the “Existing Program”). At September 28, 2024, $134.6 million was available for repurchase under the Existing Program. The Existing Program will expire on December 31, 2024, along with all amounts that remain available for use under the Existing Program as of that date.

In October 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $500 million of our common stock under a new share repurchase program that is effective from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2027 (the “New Program”).

Under each of the Existing Program and the New Program, share repurchases may be made from time to time depending on market conditions, share price, share availability and other factors at the

Company’s discretion. These share repurchase programs do not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares.

The following table summarizes the repurchase and cancellation of common stock under the Existing Program:

Total cost of shares repurchased and canceled (in thousands)$26,737$—$78,091$—
Average price per share$97.70$—$91.23$—
  1. Income Taxes

At September 28, 2024, we had $3.4 million of net unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would lower our effective tax rate if recognized. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recognized in income tax expense and were not material as of September 28, 2024.

We file income tax returns in the United States, Canada, China, India, and Mexico. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2020 is closed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2017 is closed for the states in which we filed. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2021 is closed for income tax purposes in Canada and China. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2020 is closed for income tax purposes in India. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2019 is closed for income tax purposes in Mexico.

  1. Related-Party Transactions

Prior to December 1, 2023, we leased our Colmar, PA facility from an entity in which Steven Berman, our Non-Executive Chairman, and certain of his family members are owners. On December 1, 2023, the Colmar facility was sold to a third party, subject to our lease. We also lease a portion of our Lewisberry, PA facility from an entity in which Mr. Berman and certain of his family members are owners. The Colmar lease was, and the Lewisberry lease is, a non-cancelable operating lease. The Lewisberry lease expires December 31, 2027.

We also lease our facilities in Madison, IN and Shreveport, LA, from entities in which Lindsay Hunt, our President, Specialty Vehicle, and certain of her family members are owners. Each lease is a non-cancelable operating lease, was renewed in October 2022 in connection with the acquisition of Super ATV, LLC, a leading supplier to the powersports aftermarket ("SuperATV"), and will expire on October 31, 2027.

We have service agreements with counterparties that are majority-owned by a family member of Ms. Hunt. These agreements provide for various warehouse and facility-related services at agreed-upon rates.

The following table represents the estimated payments for the year ending December 31, 2024 and actual payments for the year ended December 31, 2023 under the related party agreements described above:

Year EndingYear Ended
(in thousands)December 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Facility leases with Steven Berman related entities$715$2,918
Facility leases with Lindsay Hunt related entities$2,757$2,603
Service agreements with Lindsay Hunt related entities$54$200

We are a partner in a joint venture withone of our suppliers and own a minority interest intwo other suppliers. Two of these investments are accounted for under the equity method andone is accounted for under the cost method.

  1. Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying value of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair value based on the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of borrowings under our credit facility approximates fair value because these borrowings bear interest at rates indexed to a market rate (Term SOFR).

  1. New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU requires additional disclosures about reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a retrospective basis.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU expands disclosures in the income tax rate reconciliations table and cash taxes paid and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024.

We expect to implement these new standards by their effective dates, and do not expect their adoption to have an impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
