News Explained

At June 27, refinancing left Dorman with $131,982 thousand cash, no current debt due, and $440,479 thousand long-term debt.

Dorman ProductsAugust 3, 2026 release reports second-quarter results and updated 2026 guidance; its reported June 27, 2026 balance sheet shows a debt-and-liquidity structure with $131,982 thousand of cash, no current portion of long-term debt, and $440,479 thousand of long-term debt.

The release identifies retirement of term-loan debt and modification of the revolving credit facility as the refinancing-related actions associated with its debt-issuance-cost write-off.

At December 31, 2025, cash was $49,436 thousand, long-term debt was $402,413 thousand, and the current portion of long-term debt was $37,500 thousand; by June 27, 2026, the reported figures were $131,982 thousand, $440,479 thousand, and zero, respectively.

The updated 2026 guidance excludes future acquisitions, divestitures, and additional share repurchases, so those items are outside the current outlook and would require later disclosure to be reflected.

Key Terms

ieepa, diluted eps, sg&a, non-gaap financial measures
4 terms
ieepa regulatory
"Earnings and cash from operating activities benefited from IEEPA tariff cost recovery"
A U.S. law that gives the president broad authority to control trade, freeze assets, and block financial transactions during a declared national emergency. Investors care because those powers can abruptly restrict a company's ability to sell products, access cash, or do business with certain countries or parties, creating sudden risks to revenues, supply chains and share prices — like an emergency brake that can stop or reroute parts of a business overnight.
diluted eps financial
"Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $2.93, up 53%"
Diluted earnings per share (EPS) shows how much profit a company makes for each share of stock, assuming all possible shares from stock options or convertible securities are used. It provides a more conservative estimate than basic EPS, accounting for potential share increases that could dilute ownership. Investors use diluted EPS to get a clearer picture of a company's true profitability on a per-share basis.
sg&a financial
"Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $135.0 million"
SG&A stands for Selling, General, and Administrative expenses. It includes the costs a company spends on selling products, running the business day-to-day, and managing staff, like advertising, rent, and salaries. These expenses matter because they affect how much profit a company can make from its sales.
non-gaap financial measures financial
"Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

  • Net sales of $544.6 million for the quarter, up 0.7%
  • Diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $2.93, up 53%, and adjusted diluted EPS* of $3.08, up 50%

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
(in thousands, except per-share amounts)

Our financial results include certain financial measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). 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.

[1] – Pretax acquisition-related intangible asset amortization results from allocating the purchase price of an acquisition to the acquired tangible and intangible assets of the acquired business and recognizing the cost of the intangible asset over the period of benefit. Such costs were $5.2 million pretax (or $3.9 million after tax) and $10.3 million pretax (or $7.9 million after tax) during the three and six months ended June 27, 2026, respectively. Such costs were $5.4 million pretax (or $4.1 million after tax) and $10.9 million pretax (or $8.2 million after tax) during the three and six months ended June 28, 2025, respectively.
