- 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 months ended March 29, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, 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, 2024.

- Commitments and 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.
- 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 three months ended March 29, 2025, 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 $3.3 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024, 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 three months ended March 29, 2025:

For the three months ended March 30, 2024, we granted 32,109 performance-based RSUs containing a market condition with a grant date fair value of $138.58 per share.

As of March 29, 2025, there was $1.7 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.
- Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share was calculated by dividing our net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, excluding unvested RSAs which are considered to be contingently issuable. To calculate diluted earnings per share, common stock equivalents are added to the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents are calculated using the treasury stock method and are computed based on outstanding stock-based awards.
For the three months ended March 29, 2025, and March 30, 2024, there were approximately 39,000 shares and 319,000 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:
| Three Months Ended | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands, except per share data) | March 29, 2025 | March 30, 2024 |
| Net income | $57,505 | $32,828 |

- 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:

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 “Prior Program”). The Prior Program expired on December 31, 2024, along with all amounts that remained available for use under the Prior 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”). At March 29, 2025, $488 million was available for repurchase under the New Program.
Under each of the Prior 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. The 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 New Program in the three months ended March 29, 2025, and under the Prior Program in the three months ended March 30, 2024:

- Fair Value Disclosures
The carrying values 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).
- Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The ASU requires additional disclosures about categories of expenses, including, among other things, quantitative disclosures for employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, selling expenses, and purchases of inventory. The updated guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.
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.
