Motorcar Parts of America reported a weaker quarter for the three months ended June 30, 2026. Net sales were $168.0 million, down 10.8% from $188.4 million a year earlier, mainly from lower rotating electrical product sales partly offset by stronger brake-related demand.
Gross profit fell to $27.2 million, with gross margin slipping to 16.2% from 18.0%, pressured by lower volume, $2.8 million of transition expenses tied to footprint optimization, and ongoing amortization and write-downs of core-related contract assets. Operating income dropped to $3.5 million from $20.1 million.
After $12.0 million of net interest expense and a $1.5 million loss on its compound net derivative liability, the company posted a net loss of $13.4 million versus prior-year net income of $3.0 million, and operating cash flow was negative $11.3 million.
The balance sheet shows total assets of $1.01 billion, with heavy use of working-capital structures: inventory of $413.3 million, contract assets of $373.3 million, and accounts receivable discount programs under which $150.0 million of receivables were sold in the quarter, generating $7.9 million of interest-like cost.
