  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 a complete set of financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (comprising only normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 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, 2025.

  1. Sales of Accounts Receivable

We have entered into 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 when sold. Sales of accounts receivable under these agreements, and associated factoring costs, which were included in selling, general, and administrative expenses, were as follows:

  1. Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to, or otherwise involved in, legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including various claims and legal actions involving contracts, employment disputes, competitive practices, intellectual property infringement, product liability claims, and other matters related to 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.

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). The ruling did not address refunds of IEEPA tariffs paid. However, in March 2026, the Court of International Trade (“CIT”) ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) to begin the refund process for all importers who were subject to IEEPA duties. CIT's order may be subject to U.S. government challenge. We are the importer of record for certain products that were previously subject to tariffs under IEEPA. While we intend to pursue refunds for IEEPA tariffs, there can be no assurance that we will receive all or any portion of such refunds. No adjustments have been recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

  1. Stock-Based Compensation

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

We grant RSUs to participants in our equity plans. Performance-based RSUs granted in the three months ended March 28, 2026, 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 on achievement of return on invested capital targets over athree-year performance period (performance condition).

Compensation cost related to RSU grants was $3.9 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended March 28, 2026, and March 29, 2025, respectively, and was included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

The following table summarizes our RSU activity for the three months ended March 28, 2026:

SharesWeightedAverageFair Value
Balance at December 31, 2025324,125$117.70
Granted183,581$117.92
Vested(125,922)$107.42
Canceled(6,661)$121.34
Balance at March 28, 2026375,123$121.19

As of March 28, 2026, there was $38.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested RSU grants that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 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 not material for the three months ended March 28, 2026, and March 29, 2025.

The following table summarizes our stock option activity for the three months ended March 28, 2026:

Exercisable at March 28, 2026174,970$88.173.2$2,882

As of March 28, 2026, there was $0.5 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.0 years.

  1. 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. To calculate diluted earnings per share, common stock equivalents are added to the weighted average number of shares of common stock 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 28, 2026, and March 29, 2025, there were approximately 78,000 shares and 39,000 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. There were no shares repurchased from the 401(k) Plan during the three months ended March 28, 2026. The following table summarizes the repurchase and cancellation of common stock by the Company for the three months ended March 29, 2025:

Three Months Ended
Shares repurchased and canceled2,070
Total cost of shares repurchased and canceled (in thousands)$261
Average price per share$126.08

Separately, we repurchase shares under share repurchase programs authorized by our Board of Directors. 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 Company is not obligated to acquire a specific number of shares under the programs.

The following table summarizes the repurchase and cancellation of common stock in the three months ended March 28, 2026, and March 29, 2025:

Three Months Ended
March 28, 2026March 29, 2025
Shares repurchased and canceled435,17493,800
Total cost of shares repurchased and canceled (in thousands)$51,430$11,818
Average price per share$118.18$125.99

At March 28, 2026, $407.9 million was available for repurchase under the share repurchase program.

  1. Income Taxes

At March 28, 2026, we had $10.5 million of net unrecognized tax benefits, $9.0 million of which would lower our effective tax rate if recognized. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. At March 28, 2026, accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $4.4 million.

We file income tax returns in the United States, Canada, China, India, and Mexico. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2022 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 2022 is closed for income tax purposes in Canada, China, and India. The statute of limitations for tax years before 2020 is closed for income tax purposes in Mexico.

  1. 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 values due to their short-term nature. 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. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 this new standard by its effective date, and do not anticipate that its adoption will have an impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
