**MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA, INC.**

**GLOSSARY**

The following terms are frequently used in the text of this report and have the meanings indicated below.

"Used Core" — An automobile part which has previously been used in the operation of a vehicle. Generally, the Used Core is an original equipment ("OE") automobile part installed by the vehicle manufacturer and subsequently removed for replacement. Used Cores contain salvageable parts, which are an important raw material in the remanufacturing process. We obtain most Used Cores by providing credits to our customers for Used Cores returned to us under our core exchange programs. Our customers receive these Used Cores from consumers who deliver a Used Core to obtain credit from our customers upon the purchase of a newly remanufactured automobile part. When sufficient Used Cores are not available from our customers, we purchase Used Cores from core brokers, who are in the business of buying and selling Used Cores. The Used Cores purchased from core brokers or returned to us by our customers under the core exchange programs, and which have been physically received by us, are part of our raw material and work-in-process inventory. Used Cores returned by consumers to our customers but not yet returned to us are classified as contract assets until we physically receive these Used Cores.

"Remanufactured Core" — The Used Core underlying an automobile part that has gone through the remanufacturing process and through that process has become part of a newly remanufactured automobile part. The remanufacturing process takes a Used Core, breaks it down into its component parts, replaces those components that cannot be reused and reassembles the salvageable components of the Used Core and additional new components into a remanufactured automobile part. Remanufactured Cores held for sale at our customer locations are included in long-term contract assets. The Remanufactured Core portion of stock adjustment returns are classified as contract assets until we physically receive them.

#### PART I

#### Item 1. Business
**General**

We are a leading supplier of automotive aftermarket non-discretionary replacement parts and test solutions and diagnostic equipment -- building upon industry leading technology to be ***"The Global Leader for Parts and Solutions that Move Our World Today and Tomorrow"***. We operate in the $130 billion automotive aftermarket for replacement hard parts in North America. Our hard parts products include light-duty rotating electrical products, wheel hub products, brake-related products, and turbochargers. In addition, we sell test solutions and diagnostic equipment, which were added with our acquisitions of D&V Electronics Ltd. in July 2017 and Mechanical Power Conversion, LLC in December 2018 and heavy-duty rotating electrical products, which were added with our January 2019 acquisition of Dixie Electric, Ltd.

The automotive aftermarket is divided into two markets. The first is the do-it-yourself ("DIY") market, which is generally serviced by the large retail chain outlets and online resellers. Consumers who purchase parts from the DIY market generally install parts into their vehicles themselves. In most cases, this is a less expensive alternative than having the repair performed by a professional installer. The second is the professional installer market, commonly known as the do-it-for-me ("DIFM") market. Traditional warehouse distributors, dealer networks, and commercial divisions of retail chains service this market. Generally, the consumer in this market is a professional parts installer. Our products are distributed to both the DIY and DIFM markets. The distinction between these two markets has become less defined over the years, as retail outlets leverage their distribution strength and store locations to attract customers.

Demand for replacement parts generally increases with the age of vehicles and miles driven, which provides favorable opportunities for sales of our products. The current population of light-duty vehicles in the U.S. is approximately 292 million, and the average age of these vehicles is approximately 13 years and is expected to continue to grow, in particular during recession years. Although miles driven can fluctuate for various reasons, including fuel prices, they have been generally increasing for several years.

In addition, we operate in the $11 billion-plus rapidly emerging global market for automotive test solutions and diagnostic equipment and see the opportunity for accelerating growth rates for today and the future as electrification becomes increasingly important around the world. We also operate in the $40 billion market for medium and heavy-duty automotive aftermarket replacement parts for truck, industrial, marine, and agricultural applications.

**Growth Strategies and Key Initiatives**

With a scalable infrastructure and abundant growth opportunities, we are focused on growing our aftermarket business in the North American marketplace and growing our leadership position in the test solutions and diagnostic equipment market by providing innovative and intuitive solutions to our customers.

To accomplish our strategic vision, we are focused on the following key initiatives:

***Hard Parts***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● *Grow our current product lines both with existing and potential new customers.* We continue to develop and offer current and new sales programs to ensure that we are supporting our customers' business needs.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

Our Hard Parts operating segment meets the criteria of a reportable segment. The Test Solutions and Diagnostic Equipment and Heavy Duty segments are not material, and are not required to be separately reported. See Note 20 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for more information.

**Sales, Marketing and Distribution** 

We sell our hard parts products to the largest automotive chains, including Advance Auto Parts, AutoZone, Genuine Parts (NAPA), and O'Reilly Auto Parts with an aggregate of approximately 26,000 retail outlets. In addition, these products are sold to warranty replacement programs ("OES") customers, professional installers, and a diverse group of automotive warehouse distributors. Our heavy-duty products, which have some overlap with the light-duty automotive aftermarket, are also sold via specialty distribution channels through OES, fleet, and auto electric outlets. We also sell test solutions and diagnostic equipment to the automotive chains listed above and via direct and indirect sales channels, technical conferences, and trade shows to some of the world's leading automotive companies, and to the aerospace/aviation sector. We offer testing services at our technical center located in Detroit, Michigan. During fiscal 2025, we sold approximately 98% of our products in North America, with approximately 2% of our products sold in Asian and European countries.

We publish printed and electronic catalogs with part numbers and applications for our products along with a detailed technical glossary and informational database. In addition, we publish printed and electronic product and service brochures and data sheets for our test solutions and diagnostic equipment and service offerings. We believe that we maintain one of the most extensive catalog and product identification systems available to the market.

We primarily ship our products from our facilities and various third-party warehouse distribution centers in North America, including our 410,000 square foot distribution center in Tijuana, Mexico. In addition, during fiscal 2025, we added a new warehousing and distribution facility in Malaysia to support our future direct shipment programs.

**Customers: Customer Concentration**. While we continually seek to diversify our customer base, we currently derive, and have historically derived, a substantial portion of our sales from a small number of large customers. Sales to our three largest customers in the aggregate represented 86%, 83%, and 84%, and sales to our largest customer, represented 39%, 35%, and 37% of our net sales during fiscal 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Any meaningful reduction in the level of sales to any of these customers, deterioration of the financial condition of any of these customers or the loss of any of these customers could have a materially adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

**Customer Arrangements: Impact on Working Capital**. We have various length agreements with our customers. Under these agreements, which in most cases have initial terms of at least four years, we are designated as the exclusive or primary supplier for specified categories of our products. Because of the very competitive nature of the market and the limited number of customers for these products, our customers have sought and obtained price concessions, significant marketing allowances and more favorable delivery and payment terms in consideration for our designation as a customer's exclusive or primary supplier. These incentives differ from contract to contract and can include: (i) the purchase of Remanufactured Core inventory on customer shelves, (ii) the issuance of a specified amount of credits against receivables in accordance with a schedule set forth in the relevant contract, (iii) support for a particular customer's research or marketing efforts provided on a scheduled basis, (iv) discounts granted in connection with each individual shipment of product, and (v) store expansion or product development support. These contracts typically require that we meet ongoing performance standards.

While these longer-term agreements strengthen our customer relationships, the increased demand for our products often requires that we increase our inventories and personnel. Customer demands that we purchase and maintain their Remanufactured Core inventory also requires the use of our working capital. The marketing and other allowances we typically grant our customers in connection with our new or expanded customer relationships adversely impact near-term revenues, profitability and associated cash flows from these arrangements. However, we believe the investment we make in these new or expanded customer relationships will improve our overall liquidity and cash flow from operations over time.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

**Competition**

Our business is highly competitive. We compete with several large and medium-sized companies, including (i) Terrepower, First Brands and DRIV for hard parts, (ii) Burke Porter and Langdi Measurement Control for test solutions and diagnostic equipment, and (iii) a large number of smaller regional and specialty companies. We also compete with other overseas manufacturers, particularly those located in Asia who are increasing their operations and could become a significant competitive force in the future.

We believe that the reputations for quality, reliability, and customer service that a supplier provides are significant factors in our customers' purchase decisions. We continuously strive to increase our competitive and technical advantages as the industry and technologies rapidly evolve. Our advanced power emulators are protected by U.S. patents that provide us a strong competitive barrier for a large segment of the market and allow us to be lower cost and more efficient.

We believe our ability to educate also helps to distinguish us from many of our competitors. We have created an online library of video courses, aimed at supporting our customers as they seek to train the next generation of technicians. We also offer live and web-based training courses via our education center within our Torrance, California headquarters. We believe our ability to provide quality replacement automotive parts, rapid and reliable delivery capabilities as well as promotional support also distinguishes us from many of our competitors. In addition, favorable pricing, our core exchange programs, and extended payment terms are also very important competitive factors in customers' purchase decisions.

We seek to protect our proprietary processes and other information by relying on trade secret laws and non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements, as well as limiting the number of employees and other persons who have access to that information.

**Operations**

**Production Process for Non-discretionary Replacement Parts.** The majority of our products are remanufactured at our facilities in Mexico, Canada, and to a lesser extent in Malaysia. We also manufacture and assemble new products at our facilities in Canada, Malaysia and India. Our remanufacturing process begins with the receipt of Used Cores from our customers or core brokers. The Used Cores are evaluated for inventory control purposes and then sorted by part number. Each Used Core is completely disassembled into its fundamental components. The components are cleaned in an environmentally sound process that employs customized equipment and cleaning materials in accordance with the required specifications of the particular component. All components known to be subject to major wear and those components determined not to be reusable or repairable are replaced by new components. Non-salvageable components of the Used Core are sold as scrap.

After the cleaning process is complete, the salvageable components of the Used Core are inspected and tested as prescribed by our IATF 16949 and ISO 9001:2015 approved quality programs, which have been implemented throughout the production processes. IATF 16949 and ISO 9001:2015 are internationally recognized, world class, quality programs. Upon passage of all tests, which are monitored by designated quality control personnel, all the component parts are assembled in a work cell into a finished product. Inspection and testing are conducted at multiple stages of the remanufacturing process, and each finished product is inspected and tested on equipment designed to simulate performance under operating conditions. To maximize remanufacturing efficiency, we store component parts ready for assembly in our production facilities.

Our remanufacturing processes combine product families with similar configurations into dedicated factory work cells. This remanufacturing process, known as "lean manufacturing," eliminates a large number of inventory moves and the need to track inventory movement through the remanufacturing process. This manufacturing enables us to significantly reduce the time it takes to produce a finished product. We continue to explore opportunities for improving efficiencies in our remanufacturing process.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

**Production Process for Test Solutions and Diagnostic Equipment.** Our test solutions and diagnostic equipment are engineered and manufactured in North America at facilities in Toronto, Canada and Binghamton, New York, U.S. Our facility in Canada is certified under ISO 9001:2015 quality management system, which mandates that we foster continuous improvement to our manufacturing processes. Materials for custom systems are purchased in a "just-in-time" environment while materials for standard systems are purchased in economic quantities. All materials and components are inspected and tested when required. Certain components require certificates of compliance or test results from our vendors prior to shipping to us. Our manufacturing process combines skilled labor from certified and licensed technicians with raw materials, manufactured components, purchased components, and purchased capital components to complete our test solutions and diagnostic equipment. All test solutions and diagnostic equipment are inspected and tested per our quality control program, which has been approved by the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system.

Our facility in New York, U.S., manufactures test solutions and diagnostic equipment using purchased electronic and custom components that are primarily assembled at this facility. While some circuit card assemblies are handled by outside subcontractors, most of the assemblies are manufactured in-house along with the fabrication of electronic subassemblies. Quality control and testing is completed on these subassemblies prior to their final installation into the overall equipment rack that includes mechanical, electrical and thermal management operations. Final inspection and acceptance testing are performed to predefined procedures prior to the equipment being packaged in a crate for shipment.

**Used Cores.** The majority of our Used Cores are obtained from customers through the core exchange programs. To supplement Used Cores received from our customers we purchase Used Cores from core brokers. Although this is not a primary source of Used Cores, it is a critical source for meeting our raw material demands. Remanufacturing consumes, on average, more than one Used Core for each remanufactured unit produced since not all Used Cores are reusable. The yield rates depend upon both the product and customer specifications.

We recycle materials, including metal from the Used Cores and corrugated packaging, in keeping with our focus as a remanufacturer to lessen our footprint on the environment.

**Purchased Finished Goods**. In addition to our remanufactured goods, we also purchase finished goods from various approved suppliers, including several located in Asia. We perform supplier qualification, product inspection and testing according to our IATF 16949 or ISO 9001:2015 certified quality systems to assure product quality levels. We also perform periodic site audits of our suppliers' manufacturing facilities.

**Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Human Capital** 

***Our Culture.*** Our Company was founded in 1968 on the values of integrity, common decency and respect for others. Our core values are Excellence, Passion/Productivity, Innovation/Integrity, Community, and Quality ("EPICQ") and characterize our daily corporate focus. These values are embodied in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which has been adopted by our Board of Directors to serve as a statement of principles to guide our decision-making and reinforce our commitment to these values in all aspects of our business. We believe that our commitment to our Company, our employees and the communities within which we operate has led to high employee satisfaction and low employee turnover, and our commitment to our customers, suppliers and business partners has resulted in high customer satisfaction, as evidenced by the customer awards that we routinely win, and decades-long customer relationships.

***Environmental.*** Environmental and sustainable processes have been our hallmark since the Company's establishment. We take our commitment to environmental stewardship seriously. The use of Remanufactured Cores results in a substantial reduction of raw materials and energy consumption. With the potential to significantly reduce material and energy consumption, industry sources believe that remanufacturing is the most efficient and sustainable process for producing aftermarket replacement parts – making our business practices green by nature.

#### Item 1A. Risk Factors
While we believe the risk factors described below are all the material risks currently facing our business, additional risks we are not presently aware of or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. Our financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely impacted by these risks, and the trading price of our common stock could be adversely impacted by any of these risks. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information included in or incorporated by reference into this Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K.

**<u>Risks Related to Economic, Political and Health Conditions</u>**

***Developments in global and local economic, political, and social conditions, such as international trade disputes, disruptions from rapid changes in trade policy and new or increased tariffs, a foreign or domestic debt crisis, currency volatility, natural disasters, war, such as the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Israel, Gaza and the surrounding areas, epidemics and pandemics, the fear of spread of contagious diseases and civil unrest, may have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition, and the continuation of or worsening of such conditions could have a similar or worse impact.***

A variety of economic, political, and social conditions have led to adverse impacts on the U.S. and global economies and created uncertainty regarding the potential effects of such conditions on our employees, supply chains, operations, and customer demand including international trade disputes, disruptions from rapid changes in trade policy and new or increased tariffs, a foreign or domestic debt crisis, currency volatility, natural disasters, war, such as the war in Ukraine and the conflict in Israel, Gaza and surrounding areas, epidemics and pandemics, the fear of spread of contagious diseases and civil unrest. Certain of these conditions may impact our operations and the operations of our customers, suppliers, and vendors in a number of ways, including but not limited to, the following:

● significantly increased costs and uncertainty in future costs due to higher tariff rates charged on components and finished goods by the United States and by other countries, and uncertainty regarding future tariff rates due to rapidly evolving trade policy in the U.S. and the potential for retaliatory tariffs charged by other countries;

● supply chain delays or stoppages due to shipping delays (cargo ship, train and truck shortages as well as staffing shortages) resulting in increased freight costs, closed supplier facilities or distribution centers, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods from some countries or areas;

● change in demand for or availability of our products as a result of our customers modifying their restocking, fulfillment, or shipping practices;

● increased raw material, and other input costs;

● increased working capital needs and/or an increase in trade accounts receivable write-offs as a result of increased financial pressures on our suppliers or customers; and

● fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates.

***Unfavorable economic conditions may adversely affect our business.***

Adverse changes in economic conditions, including inflation, slower economic growth and the potential for a recession, increased fuel prices, rapid changes in trade policy, new or increased tariffs, including retaliatory tariffs, global trade disruptions, unemployment levels, decreased availability of consumer credit, taxation or instability in the financial markets or credit markets may either lower demand for our products or increase our operational costs, or both. In addition, rapidly evolving federal, state and local government policies, the results of elections, and other changes in the political landscape could have similar effects, and responding to such changes in policy may divert the attention of senior management from our operations. Such conditions may also materially impact our customers, suppliers and other parties with whom we do business. Our revenue will be adversely affected if demand for our products declines, including if we are forced to make our products more expensive for customers as a result of increasing costs, including regulatory expenses such as tariffs, and our customers don't agree to these increased costs. The impact of unfavorable economic conditions may also impair the ability of our customers to pay for products they have purchased. As a result, reserves for doubtful accounts and write-offs of accounts receivables may increase, and delay or failure to collect a significant portion of amounts due on those receivables could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, we also get pressure from our suppliers to pay them faster and our customers to pay us slower, which impacts our cash flows.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

**<u>Risks Related to Our Business and Industry</u>**

***We rely on a few customers for a majority of our business, and the loss of any of these customers, significant changes in the prices, marketing allowances or other important terms provided to any of these customers, or adverse developments with respect to the financial condition of these customers, could harm our operating results.***

Our net sales are concentrated among a small number of our customers. Sales to our three largest customers in the aggregate represented 86%, and sales to our largest customer represented 39% of our net sales during fiscal 2025. We are under ongoing pressure from our major customers to offer lower prices, extend payment terms, increase marketing and other allowances and other terms more favorable to these customers because our sales to these customers are concentrated, and provide the market in which we operate is very competitive. Customer demands have put continued pressure on our operating margins and profitability, resulted in periodic contract renegotiation to provide more favorable prices and terms to these customers and significantly increased our working capital needs. The loss of or a significant decline in sales to any of these customers could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. In addition, customer concentration leaves us vulnerable to any adverse change in the financial condition of these customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We regularly review our accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality and age of the accounts receivable, and the current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay amounts owed to us. We participate in trade accounts receivable discount programs with our major customers. If the creditworthiness of any of our major customers was downgraded, we could be adversely affected as we may be subjected to higher interest rates on the use of these discount programs or we could be forced to wait longer for payment. In certain cases, we have experienced higher interest rates due to changes in customer credit profiles, which has impacted the overall cost of these financing arrangements. Should our customers experience significant cash flow problems, our financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and our losses could include the outstanding receivable balance, Used Cores expected to be returned by customers, and the value of the Remanufactured Cores held at customers' locations. We maintain an allowance for credit losses that, in our opinion, provides for an adequate reserve to cover losses that may be incurred. However, we cannot assure you that our losses will not exceed our reserve for the reasons and risks above. Changes in terms with, significant allowances for, and collections from these customers could affect our operating results and cash flows.

***Failure to compete effectively could reduce our market share and significantly harm our financial performance.***

Our industry is highly competitive, and our success depends on our ability to compete with suppliers of automotive aftermarket products, some of which may have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. The automotive aftermarket industry is highly competitive, and our success depends on our ability to compete with domestic and international suppliers of automotive aftermarket products. Due to the diversity of our product offering, we compete with several large and medium-sized companies, including (i) Terrepower, First Brands and DRIV for hard parts, (ii) Burke Porter and Langdi Measurement Control for test solutions and diagnostic equipment, and (iii) a large number of smaller regional and specialty companies. We also face competition from original equipment manufacturers, which, through their automotive dealerships, supply many of the same types of replacement parts we sell. In addition, other overseas competitors, particularly those located in Asia, are increasing their operations and are becoming a significant competitive force.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

Some of our competitors may have larger customer bases and significantly greater financial, technical and marketing resources than we do. In addition, some of our competitors may have a different manufacturing and distributing structure and footprint. These factors may allow our competitors to:

● respond more quickly than we can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements by devoting greater resources than we can to the development, promotion and sale of automotive aftermarket products;

● engage in more extensive research and development;

● Absorb more regulatory, tax, and tariff costs than the Company; and

● allocate more money and resources on marketing and promotion.

Increased competition could put additional pressure on us to reduce prices or take other actions, which may have an adverse effect on our operating results. We may also lose significant customers or lines of business to competitors.

***If we do not respond appropriately, the evolution of the automotive industry could adversely affect our business.***

Many leaders and consumers in the automotive industry are increasingly focused on the development of hybrid and electric vehicles and of advanced driver assistance technologies, with the goal of a commercially-viable, fully-automated driving experience. There has also been an increase in consumer preferences for mobility on demand services, such as car and ride sharing, as opposed to automobile ownership, which may result in a long-term reduction in the number of vehicles per capita. In addition, some industry participants are exploring transportation through alternatives to automobiles. These evolving areas have also attracted increased competition from entrants outside the traditional automotive industry. If we do not continue to innovate and develop, or acquire, new and compelling products that capitalize upon new technologies in response to consumer preferences, it could have a materially adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. These changes may also reduce demand for our products for combustion engine vehicles.

***Work stoppages, production shutdowns and similar events could significantly disrupt our business.***

Because the automotive industry relies heavily on just-in-time delivery of components during the assembly and manufacture of vehicles, a work stoppage or production shutdown at one or more of our manufacturing and assembly facilities could have adverse effects on our business. Similarly, if one or more of our customers were to experience a work stoppage, that customer would likely halt or limit purchases of our products. In recent years, we have also experienced significant disruptions in the supply of several key components from Asia due to work stoppages, production shutdowns, government closures, and other supply chain issues at many of our suppliers, leading to an adverse effect on our financial results.

***Interruptions or delays in obtaining component parts could impair our business and adversely affect our operating results.***

In our remanufacturing processes, we obtain Used Cores, primarily through the core exchange programs with our customers, and component parts from third-party manufacturers. To supplement Used Cores received from our customers we purchase Used Cores from core brokers. Historically, the Used Core returned from customers together with purchases from core brokers have provided us with an adequate supply of Used Cores, but increases or uncertainty in tariff rates and global trade disruptions may cause a significant disruption in the supply of Used Cores, which may cause our operating activities to be materially and adversely impacted. Additionally, increased Used Core acquisitions by existing or new competitors or other changes could further disrupt the supply of Used Cores and increase the significance of such impacts. In addition, a number of the other components used in the remanufacturing process are available from a very limited number of suppliers. We are, as a result, vulnerable to any disruption in component supply and often are forced to purchase new units to obtain particularly difficult to get cores, and any meaningful disruption in this supply from uncertainty in tariff rates and global trade disruptions or other factors would materially and adversely impact our operating results. The imposition of tariffs, or even the potential imposition of tariffs are likely to cause a significant disruption in our manufacturing process, depending on the level and breadth of such tariff.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

***Increases in the market prices of key component raw materials could increase the cost of our products and negatively impact our profitability.***

In addition to the continuous pressure on pricing which we have experienced from our largest customers, we also may not be able to recoup the higher costs of our products due to changes in the prices of raw materials, including, but not limited to, aluminum, copper, steel, and cardboard. We recover a substantial portion of our raw materials from Used Cores returned to us by our customers through the core exchange programs. To supplement Used Cores received from our customers, we purchase Used Cores from core brokers. Although this is not a primary source of Used Cores, it is a critical source for meeting our raw material demands. The higher prices of these Used Cores that we purchase could impact the cost of raw materials. Raw material price increases have had an impact on our product costs and profitability and continued increases will similarly adversely affect us.

***Our financial results are affected by automotive parts failure rates that are outside of our control.***

Our operating results are affected over the long term by automotive parts failure rates. These failure rates are impacted by a number of factors outside of our control, including the reliability and durability of vehicles, the installation of the part, the number of miles driven by consumers, and the average age of vehicles on the road. These trends could reduce the demand for our products and thus adversely affect our sales and profitability.

***Our reliance on foreign suppliers for some of the automotive parts we sell to our customers or included in our products presents risks to our business*.**

A significant portion of automotive parts and components we use in our remanufacturing process are imported from suppliers located outside the U.S., including China and other countries in Asia. As a result, we are subject to various risks of doing business in foreign markets and importing products from abroad, such as the following, which we have experienced in the last fiscal year:

● significant delays in the delivery of cargo due to port security and over-crowding considerations;

● imposition of new and evolving duties, taxes, tariffs or other charges on imports;

● financial or political instability in the countries in which our product is manufactured;

● potential recalls or cancellations of orders for products that do not meet our quality standards;

● disruption of imports by labor disputes or strikes and local business practices;

● inability of our non-U.S. suppliers to obtain adequate credit or access liquidity to finance their operations; and

● natural disasters, conflicts, disease epidemics and health related concerns, which could result in closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of goods.

We also face the following risks related to doing business in foreign markets and importing products from abroad:

● imposition of new legislation relating to import quotas or other restrictions that may limit the quantity of our product that may be imported into the U.S. from countries or regions where we do business;

● political or military conflict involving foreign countries or the U.S., which could cause a delay in the transportation of our products and an increase in transportation costs;

● heightened terrorism security concerns, which could subject imported goods to additional, more frequent or more thorough inspections, leading to delays in deliveries or impoundment of goods for extended periods; and

● our ability to enforce agreements with our foreign suppliers.

Any of the foregoing factors, or a combination of them, could increase the cost or reduce the supply of products available to us and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

In addition, because we depend on independent third parties to manufacture a significant portion of our brake-related products, and other purchased finished goods, we cannot be certain that we will not experience operational difficulties with such manufacturers, such as reductions in the availability of production capacity, errors in complying with merchandise specifications, insufficient quality controls and failure to meet production deadlines or increases in manufacturing costs.

***An increase in the cost or a disruption in the flow of our imported products may significantly decrease our sales and profits.***

Merchandise manufactured offshore represents a significant portion of our total product purchases. Disruptions in the shipping or cost of such merchandise recently have and may continue to or may more significantly decrease our sales and profits. In addition, if imported merchandise continues to become more expensive or less available due to increased tariff rates, trade disputes or other unfavorable impacts, the transition to alternative sources may not occur in time to meet our demands. Merchandise from alternative sources may also be of lesser quality and more expensive than those we currently import. Risks associated with our reliance on imported merchandise include disruptions in the shipping and importation or increase in the costs of imported products. For example, common risks include:

● increased sensitivity to changes in tariff rates;

● raw material shortages;

● problems with oceanic shipping, including shipping container shortages;

● increased customs inspections of import shipments or other factors causing delays in shipments; and

● increases in shipping rates, all of which we experienced.

As well as the following common risks, which we may experience in the future:

● work stoppages;

● strikes and political unrest;

● economic crises;

● international disputes and wars;

● loss of "most favored nation" trading status by the U. S. in relations to a particular foreign country;

● import duties; and

● import quotas and other trade sanctions.

Products manufactured overseas and imported into the U.S. and other countries are subject to import restrictions and duties, which could delay their delivery or increase their cost. We are regularly in contact with customs officials from various countries and disagree from time to time on the amounts due. In addition, government agencies and self-regulatory organizations have the ability to conduct periodic examinations of and administrative proceedings regarding our business.

***Our operating results may continue to fluctuate significantly.*** 

We have experienced significant variations in our annual and quarterly results of operations. These fluctuations have resulted from many factors, including shifts in the demand and pricing for our products, general economic conditions, including changes in prevailing interest rates, wage inflation and multiple minimum wage increases in Mexico in the past and likely in the future, and the introduction of new products. Our gross profit percentage fluctuates due to numerous factors, some of which are outside of our control. These factors include the timing and level of marketing allowances provided to our customers, actual sales during the relevant period, pricing strategies, the mix of products sold during a reporting period, and general market and competitive conditions. We also incur allowances, accruals, charges and other expenses that differ from period to period based on changes in our business, which causes our operating income to fluctuate.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

***Changes in effective tax rates could adversely affect our results.***

We are subject to income taxes in a variety of domestic and foreign jurisdictions. Our future income tax liability could be materially adversely affected by earnings that are lower than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have lower statutory rates, earnings that are higher than anticipated in jurisdictions where we have higher statutory rates, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in the amount of our unrecognized tax benefits, or changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof.

Tax laws and regulations continue to evolve. For example, ongoing tax reform discussions in the U.S. and other jurisdictions could further impact our tax liabilities. Proposals to modify corporate tax rates, implement new taxation mechanisms on foreign earnings, or change existing tax deductions and credits could materially affect our financial results. Given the political and economic uncertainty surrounding tax policy, we cannot predict the likelihood, form, or timing of such changes, but any unfavorable developments could have an adverse impact on our effective tax rate, income tax expense, and overall financial performance.

In addition, recent legislative changes in international tax initiatives, including the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD")'s global minimum tax framework under Pillar Two, aim to establish a minimum corporate tax rate of 15% for large multinational enterprises. As countries implement these measures, our tax obligations could increase, and compliance requirements may become more complex. While we do not currently meet the minimum revenue threshold for Pillar Two and are not subject to its provisions, any future compliance could increase our tax obligations, impose additional compliance costs, and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Furthermore, changes in global tax laws may lead to increased tax costs or compliance burdens. The OECD's Base Erosion and Profit Shifting ("BEPS") initiatives and similar measures adopted by various jurisdictions may further contribute to tax uncertainty. As new regulations and interpretations emerge, our ability to mitigate risks associated with these changes may be limited, and our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

***Natural disasters or other disruptions in our business in California, Baja California, Mexico, and Asia could increase our operating expenses or cause us to lose revenues.***

A substantial portion of our operations are located in Southern California, Baja California, Mexico, and Asia, including our headquarters, remanufacturing and warehouse facilities. Any natural disaster, such as an earthquake, or other damage to our facilities from weather, fire or other events could cause us to lose inventory, delay delivery of orders to customers, incur additional repair-related expenses, disrupt our operations or otherwise harm our business. These events could also disrupt our information systems, which would harm our ability to manage our operations worldwide and compile and report financial information. As a result, we could incur additional expenses or liabilities or lose revenues, which could exceed any insurance coverage and would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

***Our failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting may affect our ability to accurately report our financial results and could materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.***

Under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we must maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, which requires significant resources and management oversight. Effective internal and disclosure controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud and to operate successfully as a public company. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed. We cannot assure you that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in the future or that other material weakness will not be discovered in the future. Any failure to maintain effective controls or timely effect any necessary improvement of our internal and disclosure controls could harm operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, which could affect our ability to remain listed with the Nasdaq Global Select Market or subject us to adverse regulatory consequences. Ineffective internal and disclosure controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

**<u>Risks Related to Our Overseas Operations</u>**

***Our offshore remanufacturing and logistic activities expose us to increased political and economic risks and place a greater burden on management to achieve quality standards.***

Our international operations, especially our operations in Mexico, increase our exposure to political, criminal or economic instability in the host countries and to currency fluctuations. Risks are inherent in international operations, including:

● exchange controls and currency restrictions;

● currency fluctuations and devaluations;

● changes in local economic conditions;

● repatriation restrictions (including the imposition or increase of withholding and other taxes on remittances and other payments by foreign subsidiaries);

● global sovereign uncertainty and hyperinflation;

● uncertainty in laws and regulations relating to export and import restrictions;

● exposure to government actions;

● increased required employment related costs;

● labor union activities, and

● exposure to local political or social unrest including resultant acts of war, terrorism or similar events.

These and other factors may have a material adverse effect on our international activities and on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our overall success as a business depends substantially upon our ability to manage our foreign operations. We may not continue to succeed in developing and implementing policies and strategies that are effective in each location where we do business, and failure to do so could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***Unfavorable currency exchange rate fluctuations could adversely affect us.*** 

We are exposed to market risk from material movements in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the foreign countries in which we operate. In fiscal 2025, approximately 29% of our total expenses were in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. As a result of our extensive operations in Mexico, our primary risk relates to changes in the rates between the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso. To mitigate this currency risk, we enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to exchange U.S. dollars for Mexican pesos. We also enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to exchange U.S. dollars for Chinese yuan in order to mitigate risk related to our purchases and payments to our Chinese vendors. The extent to which we use forward foreign exchange contracts is periodically reviewed in light of our estimate of market conditions and the terms and length of anticipated requirements. The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to reduce our exposure to the risk that the eventual net cash outflow resulting from funding the expenses of the foreign operations will be materially affected by changes in the exchange rates. We do not engage in currency speculation or hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. These contracts generally expire in a year or less. Any change in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts is accounted for as an increase or decrease to foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the consolidated statements of operations. We recorded non-cash losses of $4,179,000, $1,373,000, and a non-cash gain of $2,776,000, due to the change in the fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts during fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. In addition, we recorded a loss of $11,713,000, and gains of $5,187,000 and $6,515,000, in connection with the remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated lease liabilities during fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

***Changes in trade policy and other factors beyond our control could materially adversely affect our business.***

We are affected by trade policy, including global tariffs, the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") and the World Trade Organization (the "WTO"). In December 2019, the United States, Mexico and Canada signed the amended United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (the "USMCA"), which replaced NAFTA. In July 2020, the U.S. notified the United Nations of its intention to withdraw from the WTO. The U.S. government has recently indicated that it intends to negotiate changes to the USMCA in 2026 with the Mexican and Canadian governments. The effects of such negotiations and any changes to the USMCA may negatively impact our operations in Mexico and Canada and may significantly and materially increase our costs by increasing the cost of shipping products from our distribution center or remanufacturing facilities in Mexico and our subsidiaries in Canada. While the U.S. continues to be a member of the WTO, it remains difficult to predict what effect the USMCA, the WTO or other trade agreements and organizations will have on our business. If the U.S. were to withdraw from or materially modify any other international trade agreements to which it is a party or if the U.S. imposes significant additional tariffs on imports from China or other restrictions, it could have a materially adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

***Tariffs imposed by the United States government could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.***

The U.S. government has recently placed increased tariffs on certain goods imported from China and other countries and may impose new tariffs on goods imported from China and other countries, including products that we import. In response, China and other countries have, and may again in the future, impose increased tariffs on a wide range of products imported from the U.S. and adjust the value of its currency. Further, the U.S. government has recently imposed new tariffs on additional countries, including Mexico and Canada from which we remanufacture and distribute products, and we have operations. While such tariffs on Mexico and Canada were paused in connection with an agreement to renegotiate the USMCA, similar tariffs could significantly increase the cost of the products that we import and may materially impact our cost of goods and business.

If renegotiations related to existing or threatened tariffs are unsuccessful or additional tariffs or trade restrictions are implemented by the U.S. or other countries in connection with a global trade war, the resulting escalation of trade tensions could have a material adverse effect on world trade and the global economy. Even in the absence of further tariffs or trade restrictions, the related uncertainty and the market's fear of an economic slowdown could lead to a decrease in consumer spending, and we may experience lower net sales than expected. Reduced net sales may result in reduced operating cash flows if we are not able to appropriately manage inventory levels or leverage expenses.

**<u>Risks Related to Our Indebtedness</u>**

***Our debt can impact our operating results and cash flows and limit our operations.***

As of March 31, 2025, we had $90,787,000 of debt outstanding under our credit facility, which is at variable interest rates. Fluctuations in those rates could impact our operating results and cash flows. The weighted average interest on our debt was 7.46% at March 31, 2025 compared to 8.43% at March 31, 2024. In addition, our credit facility has restrictions that could limit aspects of our operations.

In addition, on March 31, 2023, we issued and sold $32,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of 10.0% convertible notes due in 2029 (the "Convertible Notes"). The issuance of shares of our common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes may dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders and reduce our per share results of operations. Any sales in the public market of our common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

We may also incur additional debt in the future, which could further increase our leverage, reduce our cash flow or further restrict our business.

***Our lenders may not waive future defaults under our credit agreements.*** 

Our credit agreement with our lenders contains certain financial and other covenants. If we fail to meet any of these covenants in the future, there is no assurance that our lenders will waive any such defaults or that we will otherwise be able to cure them. If we obtained a waiver, it may impose significant costs or covenants on us. In addition, as the capital markets get more volatile, it may become more difficult to obtain such waivers or refinance our debt.

***Weakness in conditions in the global credit markets and macroeconomic factors, including interest rates, could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.***

The banking industry and global credit markets also experience difficulties from time to time, and issues involving our lenders could impact our deposits, the availability, terms and cost of borrowings or our ability to refinance our debt. Any weakness in the credit markets could result in significant constraints on liquidity and availability of borrowing terms from lenders and accounts payable terms with vendors. These issues could also result in more stringent lending standards and terms and higher interest rates. In addition, we are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and receivable discount programs, which have interest costs that vary with interest rate movements. Any limitations on our ability to fund our operations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and ability to grow.

**<u>Risks Related to Owning Our Stock</u>**

***Our stock price is volatile and could decline substantially.*** 

Our stock price has fluctuated in the past and may decline substantially in the future as a result of developments in our business, the volatile nature of the stock market, and other factors beyond our control. Our stock price and the stock market generally has, from time to time, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Many factors may cause the market price for our common stock to decline, including: (i) our operating results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in any period, (ii) downward revisions in securities analysts' estimates, (iii) market perceptions concerning our future earnings prospects, (iv) public or private sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock, (v) adverse changes in general market conditions or economic trends, and (vi) market shocks generally or in our industry. Our stock price is also affected by volume, which impacts the ability of investors to buy or sell our stock.

**<u>General Risk Factors</u>**

***We have made and may continue to make strategic acquisitions of other companies and businesses, and these acquisitions have and may continue to introduce significant risks and uncertainties, including risks related to integrating the acquired businesses and achieving benefits from the acquisitions.***

In order to position ourselves to take advantage of growth opportunities, we have made, and may continue to make, strategic acquisitions that involve significant risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include:

● the difficulty in integrating newly-acquired businesses and operations in an efficient and effective manner;

● the challenges in achieving strategic objectives, cost savings and other benefits from acquisitions;

● the potential loss of key employees of the acquired businesses;

● the risk of diverting the attention of senior management from our operations;

● risks associated with integrating financial reporting and internal control systems;

● difficulties in expanding information technology systems and other business processes to accommodate the acquired businesses; and

● future impairments of any goodwill of an acquired business.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

We may also incur significant expenses to pursue and consummate acquisitions. Any of the foregoing, or a combination of them, could cause us to incur additional expenses and materially and adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

***Increased attention to environmental, social, and governance matters may impact our business, financial results, or stock price.***

In recent years, investors and other stakeholders have often focused on corporate activities related to environmental, social, and governance ("ESG") matters in public discourse. A number of advocacy groups, both domestically and internationally, have campaigned for governmental and private action to promote change at public companies related to ESG matters, including through the investment and voting practices of investment advisers, public pension funds, universities, and other members of the investing community. As they evaluate investment decisions, many investors and customers, look not only at company disclosures but also to ESG rating systems that have been developed by third parties to allow ESG comparisons among companies. Although we participate in a number of these ratings systems, we do not participate in all such systems. The criteria used in these ratings systems may conflict and change frequently, and we cannot predict how these third parties will score us, nor can we have any assurance that they score us accurately or other companies accurately or that other companies have provided them with accurate data. We supplement our participation in ratings systems with published disclosures of our ESG activities, but some investors and other stakeholders may desire other disclosures that we do not provide. We also incur significant costs in complying with reporting obligations and could incur liability if a regulator or other third party disagrees with our statements.

In addition, some of the domestic and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate could mandate additional ESG disclosure and impose additional requirements on us. For example, in October 2023, California passed two bills that require certain companies that do business in California to disclose their GHG emissions and climate-related financial risks starting in 2026. A failure to comply with investor or other stakeholder expectations and standards, which are evolving, or if we are perceived to not have responded appropriately to the growing concern for ESG issues, regardless of whether there is a legal requirement to do so, could also cause reputational harm to our business and could cause certain investors to be unwilling to invest in our stock, which could adversely impact our ability to raise capital and could have other material adverse effects on us.

***Regulations related to conflict minerals could adversely impact our business.***

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act ("Dodd-Frank") contains provisions to improve transparency and accountability concerning the supply of certain minerals, known as "conflict minerals", originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC") and adjoining countries. These rules could adversely affect the sourcing, supply, and pricing of materials used in our products, as the number of suppliers who provide conflict-free minerals may be limited. We may also suffer reputational harm if we determine that certain of our products contain minerals not determined to be conflict-free or if we are unable to modify our products to avoid the use of such materials. We may also face challenges in satisfying customers who may require that our products be certified as containing conflict-free minerals.

The products we manufacture or contract to manufacture contain small quantities of Tin and Gold. We manufacture or contract to manufacture one product with small quantities of Tantalum. For the reporting year ending December 31, 2024, we surveyed 204 smelters or refiners for these minerals that are, or could be, in our supply chain. Of these, 94% were validated as Compliant or Conformant as conflict-free, per publicly available information on the Conflict Free Sourcing Initiative website. We have not been able to ascertain the conflict-free status of the remaining smelters or refiners.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

Our strategy for managing risks associated with conflict minerals in products includes continuing to encourage our suppliers to engage in conflict-free sourcing and obtaining data from our suppliers that is more applicable to the products we purchase. We continue to monitor progress on industry efforts to ascertain whether some facilities that suppliers identified are actually smelters. We do not believe conflict minerals pose risk to our operations. We are a member of the Automobile Industry Action Group (AIAG) and support their efforts in the conflict minerals area.

***If our technology and telecommunications systems were to fail, or we were not able to successfully anticipate, invest in or adopt technological advances in our industry, it could have an adverse effect on our operations.***

We rely on computer and telecommunications systems to communicate with our customers and vendors and manage our business. The temporary or permanent loss of our computer and telecommunications equipment and software systems, through casualty, operating malfunction, software virus or service provider failure, could disrupt our operations. In addition, our future growth may require additional investment in our systems to keep up with technological advances in our industry. If we are not able to invest in or adopt changes to our systems, or such upgrades take longer or cost more than anticipated, our business, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.

***We use artificial intelligence technologies in our business, and the use of these technologies involve technological and legal risk.***

We currently use artificial intelligence ("AI") and automated decision-making technologies (collectively, "AI Technologies") in certain internal business practices. Technological advances in AI are rapidly evolving, and along with this rapid evolution comes risks and challenges that could negatively impact our business. AI Technologies may create incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading outputs or other discriminatory or unexpected results or behaviors, such as hallucinatory behavior that can generate irrelevant, nonsensical, or factually incorrect results. While we take measures designed to ensure the accuracy of such AI-generated content, those measures may not always be successful. Accordingly, reliance on these models could lead us to make impaired decisions that could result in adverse consequences to us, including legal liability, reputational and competitive harm, and loss of customers. Additionally, sensitive or otherwise confidential information could be leaked, disclosed, or revealed in connection with the use of AI Technologies by our employees, vendors, contractors, and where an AI model processes personal information and makes connections with that data, it may disclose sensitive, proprietary, or confidential information generated by the model.

***Cyber-attacks or other breaches of information technology security could adversely impact our business and operations.***

The incidence of cyber-attacks and other breaches of information technology security have increased worldwide. Cyber-attacks or other breaches of network or information technology security may cause equipment failure or disruption to our operations. We may face such attacks through use of malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails and other means for disruption or unauthorized access. The risk of a cybersecurity attack, including by computer hackers (individual or hacking organizations), foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity, and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. The techniques and sophistication used to conduct cyber-attacks and breaches of IT systems, as well as the sources and targets of these attacks, change frequently and are often not recognized until such attacks are launched or have been in place for a period of time.

We have been impacted by security incidents in the past and will likely continue to experience security incidents of varying degrees. The preventive actions we take to reduce the risk of cyber incidents and protect our information technology and networks may be insufficient to repel a major cyber-attack in the future. As cyber-attacks continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. In addition, our remediation efforts may not be successful. To the extent that any disruption or security breach results in a loss or damage to our data or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, it could cause significant damage to our reputation, affect our relationship with our customers, suppliers and employees, and lead to claims against us and ultimately harm our business. Additionally, we may be required to incur significant costs to protect against damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in the future including if such security breaches result in a violation of applicable federal and state privacy and other laws, or subject us to private consumer, business partner, or securities litigation and governmental investigations and proceedings, any of which could result in our exposure to material civil or criminal liability. While we maintain specific cyber insurance coverage, which may apply in the event of various breach scenarios, the amount of coverage may not be adequate in any particular case. Furthermore, because cyber threat scenarios are inherently difficult to predict and can take many forms, some breaches may not be covered under our cyber insurance coverage.

#### Item 1C. Cybersecurity
**Material Effects of Cybersecurity Incidents** 

Risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have not materially affected us, including our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Further information regarding cybersecurity risks can be found in Item 1A. Risk Factors - risks relating to "cyber-attacks or other breaches of information technology security could adversely impact our business and operations".

**Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy** 

We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity program designed to provide structured and thorough cybersecurity risk management and governance. Our cybersecurity program prioritizes, among other things, prevention of unauthorized access; protection of sensitive information; detection, assessment, and response to cyber threats; and continuous improvement of our cybersecurity measures. We seek to achieve our cybersecurity program priorities through a multi-pronged approach to address cyber threats and incidents that includes (i) implementation of various industry best practices, (ii) proactive monitoring of our IT systems, (iii) ongoing employee training, (iv) quarterly phishing campaigns, (v) continued education for our cybersecurity team, and (vi) regular risk assessments. We also maintain cyber insurance coverage to help mitigate a portion of the potential costs in the event of covered events.

Our cybersecurity program is aligned with various frameworks for managing cybersecurity risks, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework for IT. We have an Information Technology Steering Committee that oversees the IT function, material projects, budgeting, and cybersecurity. In addition, we have an Incident Response Team, as highlighted in our cybersecurity policy to respond to any information security risks or incidents. These committees report directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is responsible for overall oversight of the Company's cybersecurity program.

We rely upon both internal and external resources for evaluating and enhancing our cyber posture. Our information security team works with external cybersecurity firms to review and provide feedback on improving our cybersecurity program, including in the areas of data protection, threat and vulnerability management, and end-point protection. We require annual cybersecurity training by our employees, send out regular tips and memos to help our employees recognize phishing emails and other social engineering tactics, and provide various methods for employees to report suspicious activity that may give rise to a cyber-incident or threat. Significant results of such testing and reviews are communicated to our executive management team and our Audit Committee, as applicable, and are utilized in our cybersecurity program's continuous improvement process.

In response to the growing risks associated with third-party service providers, we do not have any direct connections between our enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system and our third-party suppliers nor service providers as their access to our IT systems could significantly disrupt our operations.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

We maintain a set of core practices and procedures when responding to certain high-risk information security threats and incidents, which are designed to ensure appropriate resources are utilized to provide an effective, timely, and coordinated response in managing crises, including significant cyber threats and incidents. Our Management Risk Committee will assume overall responsibility in an effort to ensure that the appropriate functions and work streams are mobilized and coordinated to effectively manage any significant cyber events.

We have been a target of cyber-attacks and other hacking activities, as have certain of our third-party service providers. While our cybersecurity program is designed to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive information, including through continuous improvement of our cybersecurity measures, and we have not experienced any material cyber threats or incidents to date, we can give no assurance that we will be able to prevent, identify, respond to, or mitigate the impact of all cyber threats or incidents. To the extent future cyber threats or incidents result in significant disruptions and costs to our operations, reduce the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, result in intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, harm to our employees or customers, violations of privacy laws or damage our reputation or otherwise substantially impact our business, it could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. For additional discussion on our cybersecurity risks, refer to Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of this Form 10-K.

**Cybersecurity Governance** 

Our Board of Directors oversees the management of risks inherent in the operation of our business, with a focus on the most significant risks that we face, including those related to cybersecurity. Our Board of Directors has delegated oversight of cybersecurity, including privacy and information security, as well as enterprise risk management to the Audit Committee. In connection with that oversight responsibility, our VP of IT and General Counsel meet with the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis to provide information and updates on a range of cybersecurity topics which may include our cybersecurity program and governance processes; cyber risk monitoring and management; the status of projects to strengthen our cybersecurity and privacy capabilities; recent significant incidents or threats impacting our operations, industry, or third-party suppliers; and the emerging threat landscape.

Our cybersecurity team is managed by a dedicated information security team, led by our VP of IT. Our VP of IT has more than 25 years of information technology experience across various disciplines, including nearly 15 years of experience in the financial, re-manufacturing, and distribution industries. She has led our global information security organization for almost three years. In addition to her employment experience in the cybersecurity field, our VP of IT has a Bachelor's of Business Administration and Computer Information Systems, and meets regularly with other members of our executive team to provide relevant updates on our cybersecurity program.

**Management Overview**

With a scalable infrastructure and abundant growth opportunities, we are focused on growing our aftermarket business in the North American marketplace and growing our leadership position in the test solutions and diagnostic equipment market by providing innovative and intuitive solutions to our customers. Our on-going investments in global infrastructure and human resources reflects the significant expansion of manufacturing capacity to support multiple product lines. These investments included (i) a 410,000 square foot distribution center, (ii) two buildings totaling 372,000 square feet for remanufacturing and core sorting of brake calipers, and (iii) the realignment of production at our original 312,000 square foot facility in Mexico. In addition, during fiscal 2025, we added a new warehousing and distribution facility in Malaysia to support our future direct shipment programs.

During fiscal 2025, we ceased manufacturing at our Torrance, California facility, reduced our headcount, and incurred certain transition expenses in connection with our on-going strategy to utilize our global footprint to enhance operating efficiencies and expect to realize future benefit from these cost-saving measures.

**Highlights and Accomplishments in Fiscal 2025**

During fiscal 2025, we continued to focus on strategic growth, improving profitability, and leveraging our industry position as a leading non-discretionary aftermarket parts supplier and customer relationships. The following significant accomplishments support our optimism:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

● We made continued progress on further enhancing our *Environmental, Social and Governance* practices on a global basis.

**Trends Affecting Our Business**

Our business is impacted by various factors within the economy that affect both our customers and our industry, including but not limited to foreign currency, evolving tariff policy, inflation, interest rates, and other economic conditions. Given the nature of these various factors, we cannot predict whether or for how long certain trends will continue, nor can we predict to what degree these trends will impact us in the future.

***Foreign Currency***

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risks inherent in our purchases and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We transact business in the following foreign currencies: Mexican pesos, Malaysian ringgit, Singapore dollar, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, and the Canadian dollar. Our primary currency risks result from fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso and to a lesser extent, the Chinese yuan. To mitigate these risks, we enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to exchange U.S. dollars for these foreign currencies.

We have operations located outside the United States with various functional currencies. Because our consolidated financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, the assets, liabilities, net sales, and expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar must be converted into U.S. dollars using exchange rates for the current period. As a result, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may impact our financial results.

***Tariffs***

We source the majority of our raw materials and parts from suppliers in a variety of non-U.S. countries. The current U.S. government recently implemented tariffs and announced the possibility of increasing current tariffs or implementing additional ones. We expect these actions and retaliatory tariff adjustments by other countries to impact our business and contribute to inflationary cost increases. As a result, we are taking actions designed to mitigate the potential impacts of these tariffs, including, but not limited to, passing along price increases to our customers and negotiating cost concessions from our suppliers where possible. Absent any changes in trade regulations, we anticipate inflationary cost increases due to these tariffs and any resulting impact on macroeconomic conditions and our business to continue. There can be no assurance that the recently announced tariffs or future imposition of any tariffs, changes thereto, or actions taken by countries in response to the tariffs will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity in any period or that any actions we take to mitigate the impact of the tariffs will be effective.

***Inflation***

The cost to manufacture and distribute our products is impacted by the cost of raw materials, finished goods, labor, and transportation. During fiscal 2025, we continued to experience increased costs of raw materials, finished goods, higher labor costs in Mexico, and other administrative costs. We can only pass our increased costs onto customers on a limited basis. Future general price inflation and its impact on costs and availability of materials could adversely affect our financial results.

***Interest Rates***

Interest rates in the U.S. remain high as a result of the federal government's efforts to curb on-going inflation. Although interest rates decreased slightly during fiscal 2025, overall, interest costs for our accounts receivable discount programs and borrowings under our credit facility, which have interest costs that vary with interest rate movements, remain high. The majority of our interest costs result from our accounts receivable discount programs, which had a weighted average discount rate of 6.2% for fiscal 2025 compared with 6.8% for fiscal 2024. The weighted average interest on borrowings under our credit facility was 7.46% at March 31, 2025 compared to 8.43% at March 31, 2024. Any future increases in interest rates will continue to adversely impact our financial results.

**Segment Reporting**

Our three operating segments are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

● **Hard Parts**, which includes (i) light duty rotating electric products such as alternators and starters, (ii) wheel hub products, (iii) brake-related products, including brake calipers, brake boosters, brake rotors, brake pads and brake master cylinders, and (iv) turbochargers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

● **Test Solutions and Diagnostic Equipment**, which includes (i) applications for combustion engine vehicles, including bench-top testers for alternators and starters, (ii) equipment for the pre- and post-production of electric vehicles, and (iii) software emulation of power system applications for the electrification of all forms of transportation (including automobiles, trucks, the emerging electrification of systems within the aerospace industry, and electric vehicle charging stations), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

● **Heavy Duty**, which includes non-discretionary automotive aftermarket replacement hard parts for heavy-duty truck, industrial, marine, and agricultural applications.

Our Hard Parts operating segment meets the criteria of a reportable segment. The Test Solutions and Diagnostic Equipment and Heavy Duty segments are not material, and are not required to be separately reported. See Note 20 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for more information.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in the United States. Our significant accounting policies are discussed in detail below and in Note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements.

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we use estimates and assumptions for matters that are inherently uncertain. We base our estimates on historical experiences and reasonable assumptions. Our use of estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and the amount and timing of revenues and expenses we recognize for and during the reporting period. We are not currently aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to our estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of our assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2025. However, these estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our remanufacturing operations include core exchange programs for the core portion of the finished goods. The Used Cores that we acquire and are returned to us from our customers are a necessary raw material for remanufacturing. We also offer our customers marketing and other allowances that impact revenue recognition. These elements of our business give rise to more complex accounting than many businesses our size or larger.

***Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements***

*Reportable Segment Disclosures*

In November 2023, the FASB issued *ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)*. This standard requires us to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and are included within each reported measure of segment operating results. The standard also requires us to disclose the total amount of any other items included in segment operating results, which were not deemed to be significant expenses for separate disclosure, along with a qualitative description of the composition of these other items. In addition, the standard also requires disclosure of the CODM's title and position, as well as detail on how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment operating results to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The standard also aligns interim segment reporting disclosure requirements with annual segment reporting disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this guidance as of March 31, 2025 increased our disclosures (see Note 20 of the notes to consolidated financial statements) but did not have any material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

***Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted***

*Disclosure Improvements*

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, *Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative*. This standard was issued in response to the SEC's disclosure update and simplification initiative, which affects a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected Topics unless otherwise indicated. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.

*Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)*. This standard requires us to provide further disaggregated income tax disclosures for specific categories on the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as additional information about federal, state/local and foreign income taxes. The standard also requires us to annually disclose our income taxes paid (net of refunds received), disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be applied prospective basis, although optional retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.

*Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("DISE") (Subtopic 220-40)*. This standard requires us to disclose, in the footnotes at each interim and annual reporting period, information about expenses by the nature of the expense in addition to certain disclosures about selling expenses. Entities are required to include the following relevant expense captions: (i) purchase of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization, and (v) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Clarifying the Effective Date*, which is intended to clarify the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03. As clarified in ASU 2025-01, the new 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. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.

*Debt with Conversion and Other Options*

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, *Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments*, which seeks to clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

***Inventory***

Inventory is comprised of: (i) Used Core and component raw materials, (ii) work-in-process, and (iii) remanufactured and purchased finished goods.

Used Core, component raw materials, and purchased finished goods are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Work-in-process is in various stages of production and is valued at the average cost of Used Cores and component raw materials issued to work orders still open, including allocations of labor and overhead costs. Historically, work-in-process inventory has not been material compared to the total inventory balance.

Remanufactured finished goods include: (i) the Used Core cost and (ii) the cost of component raw materials, and allocations of labor and variable and fixed overhead costs (the "Unit Cost"). The allocations of labor and variable and fixed overhead costs are based on the actual use of the production facilities over the prior 12 months which approximates normal capacity. This method prevents the distortion in allocated labor and overhead costs that would occur during short periods of abnormally low or high production. In addition, we exclude certain unallocated overhead such as severance costs, duplicative facility overhead costs, start-up costs, training, and spoilage from the calculation and expense these unallocated overhead costs as period costs. Purchased finished goods also include an allocation of fixed overhead costs.

The estimate of net realizable value is subjective and based on our judgment and knowledge of current industry demand and management's projections of industry demand. The estimates may, therefore, be revised if there are changes in the overall market for our products or market changes that in our judgment impact our ability to sell or liquidate potentially excess or obsolete inventory. Net realizable value is determined at least quarterly as follows:

● Net realizable value for finished goods by customer, by product line are determined based on the agreed upon selling price with the customer for a product in the trailing 12 months. We compare the average selling price, including any discounts and allowances, to the finished goods cost of on-hand inventory, less any reserve for excess and obsolete inventory. Any reduction of value is recorded as cost of goods sold in the period in which the revaluation is identified.

● Net realizable value for Used Cores are determined based on current core purchase prices from core brokers to the extent that core purchases in the trailing 12 months are significant. Remanufacturing consumes, on average, more than one Used Core for each remanufactured unit produced since not all Used Cores are reusable. The yield rates depend upon both the product and customer specifications. We purchase Used Cores from core brokers to supplement our yield rates and Used Cores not returned under the core exchange programs. We also consider the net selling price our customers have agreed to pay for Used Cores that are not returned under our core exchange programs to assess whether Used Core cost exceeds Used Core net realizable value on a by customer, by product line basis. Any reduction of core cost is recorded as cost of goods sold in the period in which the revaluation is identified.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

● We record an allowance for potentially excess and obsolete inventory based upon recent sales history, the quantity of inventory on-hand, and a forecast of potential use of the inventory. We periodically review inventory to identify excess quantities and part numbers that are experiencing a reduction in demand. Any part numbers with quantities identified during this process are reserved for at rates based upon our judgment, historical rates, and consideration of possible scrap and liquidation values which may be as high as 100% of cost if no liquidation market exists for the part. As a result of this process, we recorded reserves for excess and obsolete inventory of $18,964,000 and $17,372,000 at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase in the reserve was primarily due to excess inventory of certain finished goods on hand at March 31, 2025 compared with March 31, 2024.

We record vendor discounts as a reduction of inventories and are recognized as a reduction to cost of sales as the inventories are sold.

***Inventory Unreturned***

Inventory unreturned represents our estimate, based on historical data and prospective information provided directly by the customer, of finished goods shipped to customers that we expect to be returned, under our general right of return policy, after the balance sheet date. Inventory unreturned includes only the Unit Cost of a finished goods. The return rate is calculated based on expected returns within the normal operating cycle, which is generally one year. As such, the related amounts are classified in current assets. Inventory unreturned is valued in the same manner as our finished goods inventory.

***Contract Assets***

Contract assets consists of: (i) the core portion of the finished goods shipped to customers, (ii) upfront payments to customers in connection with customer contracts, (iii) core premiums paid to customers, (iv) finished goods premiums paid to customers, and (v) long-term core inventory deposits.

Remanufactured Cores held at customers' locations as a part of the finished goods sold to the customer are classified as long-term contract assets. These assets are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value of Used Cores on hand (see Inventory above). For these Remanufactured Cores, we expect the finished good containing the Remanufactured Core to be returned under our general right of return policy or a similar Used Core to be returned to us by the customer, under our core exchange programs, in each case for credit. Remanufactured Cores and Used Cores returned by consumers to our customers but not yet returned to us are classified as "Cores expected to be returned by customers", which are included in short-term contract assets until we physically receive them during our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year.

Upfront payments to customers represent marketing allowances, such as sign-on bonuses, slotting fees, and promotional allowances provided to our customers. These allowances are recognized as an asset and amortized over the appropriate period of time as a reduction of revenue if we expect to generate future revenues associated with the upfront payment. If we do not expect to generate additional revenue, then the upfront payment is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when payment occurs as a reduction of revenue. Upfront payments expected to be amortized during our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are classified as short-term contract assets.

Core premiums paid to customers represent the difference between the Remanufactured Core acquisition price paid to customers generally in connection with new business, and the related Used Core cost. The core premiums are treated as an asset and recognized as a reduction of revenue through the later of the date at which related revenue is recognized or the date at which the sales incentive is offered. We consider, among other things, the length of our largest ongoing customer relationships, duration of customer contracts, and the average life of vehicles on the road in determining the appropriate period of time over which to amortize these premiums. These core premiums are amortized over a period typically ranging from six to eight years, adjusted for specific circumstances associated with the arrangement. Core premiums are recorded as long-term contract assets. Core premiums expected to be amortized within our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are classified as short-term contract assets.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

Finished goods premiums paid to customers represent the difference between the finished good acquisition price paid to customers, generally in connection with new business, and the related finished good cost, which is treated as an asset and recognized as a reduction of revenue through the later of the date at which related revenue is recognized or the date at which the sales incentive is offered. We consider, among other things, the length of our largest ongoing customer relationships, duration of customer contracts, and the average life of vehicles on the road in determining the appropriate period of time over which to amortize these premiums. Finished goods premiums are amortized over a period typically ranging from six to eight years, adjusted for specific circumstances associated with the arrangement. Finished goods premiums are recorded as long-term contract assets. Finished goods premiums expected to be amortized within our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are classified as short-term contract assets.

Long-term core inventory deposits represent the cost of Remanufactured Cores we have purchased from customers, which are held by the customers and remain on the customers' premises. The costs of these Remanufactured Cores were established at the time of the transaction based on the then current cost. The selling value of these Remanufactured Cores was established based on agreed upon amounts with these customers. We expect to realize the selling value and the related cost of these Remanufactured Cores should our relationship with a customer end, a possibility that we consider remote based on existing long-term customer agreements and historical experience.

***Revenue Recognition***

Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Revenue is recognized net of all anticipated returns, marketing allowances, volume discounts, and other forms of variable consideration. Revenue is recognized either when products are shipped or when delivered, depending on the applicable contract terms.

The price of a finished remanufactured product sold to customers is generally comprised of separately invoiced amounts for the Remanufactured Core included in the product ("Remanufactured Core value") and the unit portion included in the product ("Unit Value"), for which revenue is recorded based on our then current price list, net of applicable discounts and allowances. The Remanufactured Core value is recorded as revenue based upon the estimate of Used Cores that will not be returned by the customer for credit. These estimates are subjective and based on management's judgment and knowledge of historical, current, and projected return rates. As reconciliations are completed with the customers the actual rates at which Used Cores are not being returned may differ from the current estimates. This may result in periodic adjustments of the estimated contract asset and liability amounts recorded and may impact the projected revenue recognition rates used to record the estimated future revenue. These estimates may also be revised if there are changes in contractual arrangements with customers, or changes in business practices. A significant portion of the remanufactured automotive parts sold to customers are replaced by similar Used Cores sent back for credit by customers under the core exchange programs (as described in further detail below). The number of Used Cores sent back under the core exchange programs is generally limited to the number of similar Remanufactured Cores previously shipped to each customer.

*Revenue Recognition — Core Exchange Programs*

Full price Remanufactured Cores: When remanufactured products are shipped, certain customers are invoiced for the Remanufactured Core value of the product at the full Remanufactured Core sales price. For these Remanufactured Cores, revenue is only recognized based upon an estimate of the rate at which these customers will pay cash for Remanufactured Cores in lieu of sending back similar Used Cores for credits under the core exchange programs. The remainder of the full price Remanufactured Core value invoiced to these customers is established as a long-term contract liability rather than being recognized as revenue in the period the products are shipped as we expect these Remanufactured Cores to be returned for credit under our core exchange programs.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

Nominal price Remanufactured Cores: Certain other customers are invoiced for the Remanufactured Core value of the product shipped at a nominal (generally $0.01 or less) Remanufactured Core price. For these nominal Remanufactured Cores, revenue is only recognized based upon an estimate of the rate at which these customers will pay cash for Remanufactured Cores in lieu of sending back similar Used Cores for credits under the core exchange programs. Revenue amounts are calculated based on contractually agreed upon pricing for these Remanufactured Cores for which the customers are not returning similar Used Cores. The remainder of the nominal price Remanufactured Core value invoiced to these customers is established as a long-term contract liability rather than being recognized as revenue in the period the products are shipped as we expect these Remanufactured Cores to be returned for credit under our core exchange programs.

*Revenue Recognition; General Right of Return*

Customers are allowed to return goods that their end-user customers have returned to them, whether or not the returned item is defective (warranty returns). In addition, under the terms of certain agreements and industry practice, customers from time to time are allowed stock adjustments when their inventory of certain product lines exceeds the anticipated sales to end-user customers (stock adjustment returns). Customers have various contractual rights for stock adjustment returns, which are typically less than 5% of units sold. In some instances, a higher level of returns is allowed in connection with significant restocking orders. The aggregate returns are generally limited to less than 20% of unit sales.

The allowance for warranty returns is established based on a historical analysis of the level of this type of return as a percentage of total unit sales. The allowance for stock adjustment returns is based on specific customer inventory levels, inventory movements, and information on the estimated timing of stock adjustment returns provided by customers. Stock adjustment returns do not occur at any specific time during the year. The return rate for stock adjustments is calculated based on expected returns within the normal operating cycle, which is generally one year.

The Unit Value of the warranty and stock adjustment returns are treated as reductions of revenue based on the estimations made at the time of the sale. The Remanufactured Core value of warranty and stock adjustment returns are provided for as indicated in the paragraph "Revenue Recognition – Core Exchange Programs".

As is standard in the industry, we only accept returns from on-going customers. If a customer ceases doing business with us, we have no further obligation to accept additional product returns from that customer. Similarly, we accept product returns and grant appropriate credits to new customers from the time the new customer relationship is established.

***Contract Liability***

Contract liability consists of: (i) customer allowances earned, (ii) accrued core payments, (iii) customer core returns accruals, (iv) core bank liability, (v) finished goods liabilities, and (vi) customer deposits.

Customer allowances earned includes all marketing allowances provided to customers. Such allowances include sales incentives and concessions. Voluntary marketing allowances related to a single exchange of product are recorded as a reduction of revenues at the time the related revenues are recorded or when such incentives are offered. Other marketing allowances, which may only be applied against future purchases, are recorded as a reduction to revenues in accordance with a schedule set forth in the relevant contract. Sales incentive amounts are recorded based on the value of the incentive provided. Customer allowances to be provided to customers within our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are considered short-term contract liabilities and the remainder are recorded as long-term contract liabilities.

Accrued core payments represent the sales price of Remanufactured Cores purchased from customers, generally in connection with new business, which are held by these customers and remain on their premises. The sales price of these Remanufactured Cores will be realized when our relationship with a customer ends, a possibility that we consider remote based on existing long-term customer agreements and historical experience. The payments to be made to customers for purchases of Remanufactured Cores within our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are considered short-term contract liabilities and the remainder are recorded as long-term contract liabilities.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

Customer core returns accruals represent the full and nominally priced Remanufactured Cores shipped to our customers. When we ship product, we recognize an obligation to accept a similar Used Core sent back under the core exchange programs based upon the Remanufactured Core price agreed upon by us and our customer. The contract liability related to Used Cores returned by consumers to our customers but not yet returned to us are classified as short-term contract liabilities until we physically receive these Used Cores as they are expected to be returned during our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year and the remainder are recorded as long-term contract liabilities.

The core bank liability represents the full Remanufactured Core sales price for cores returned under our core exchange programs. The payment for these returned cores are made over a contractual repayment period pursuant to our agreement with this customer. Payments to be made within our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are considered short-term contract liabilities and the remainder are recorded as long-term contract liabilities.

Finished goods liabilities represents the agreed upon price of finished goods acquired from customers, generally in connection with new business. The payment for these finished goods are made over a contractual repayment period pursuant to our agreement with the customer. Payments to be made within our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are considered short-term contract liabilities and the remainder are recorded as long-term contract liabilities.

Customer deposits represent the receipt of prepayments from customers for the obligation to transfer goods or services in the future. We classify these customer deposits as short-term contract liabilities as we expect to satisfy these obligations within our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year.

***Customer Finished Goods Returns Accrual***

The customer finished goods returns accrual represents our estimate of our exposure to customer returns, including warranty returns, under our general right of return policy to allow customers to return items that their end user customers have returned to them and from time to time, stock adjustment returns when the customers' inventory of certain product lines exceeds the anticipated sales to end-user customers. The customer finished goods returns accrual represents the Unit Value of the estimated returns and is classified as a current liability due to the expectation that these returns will occur within the normal operating cycle of one year. Our customer finished goods returns accrual was $34,411,000 and $38,312,000 at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in the customer finished goods returns accrual primarily resulted from the timing of returned goods authorizations ("RGAs") issued at March 31, 2025 compared with March 31, 2024.

***Income Taxes***

We account for income taxes using the liability method, which measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The resulting asset or liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The primary components of our income tax expense were (i) federal income taxes, (ii) state income taxes, (iii) change in realizable deferred tax items, (iv) foreign income taxed at rates that are different from the federal statutory rate, and (v) impact of the non-deductible executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred tax assets. We make these estimates and judgments about our future taxable income based on assumptions that are consistent with our future plans. A valuation allowance is established when we believe it is not more likely than not all or some of a deferred tax assets will be realized. In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction in which they arise, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, past financial performance, and tax planning strategies. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, we had a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that is considered not more likely than not to be realized under U.S. GAAP. Should the actual amount differ from our estimate, the amount of our valuation allowance could be impacted.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

We have made an accounting policy election to recognize the U.S. tax effects of global intangible low-taxed income as a component of income tax expense in the period the tax arises.

**Results of Operations**

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

The following summarizes certain key operating consolidated data for the periods indicated:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Fiscal Years Ended March 31,** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Fiscal Years Ended March 31,** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Fiscal Years Ended March 31,** |

| Finished goods turnover (1) | &nbsp;&nbsp;3.8 | &nbsp;&nbsp;3.7 | &nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 |

---

------

(1) Finished goods turnover is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold for the year by the average of beginning and ending non-core finished goods inventory values, for each fiscal year. We believe that this provides a useful measure of our ability to turn our inventory into revenues.

*Net Sales*. Our consolidated net sales for fiscal 2025 were $757,354,000, which represents an increase of $39,670,000, or 5.5%, from fiscal 2024 of $717,684,000 due to strong demand for both our rotating electric and brake-related product lines.

The following summarizes consolidated net sales by product mix:

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

*Gross Profit.* Our consolidated gross profit for fiscal 2025 increased $21,277,000, or 16.1%, to $153,828,000 from $132,551,000 for fiscal 2024. Our consolidated gross margin, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, improved by 1.8% for fiscal 2025 to 20.3% from 18.5% for fiscal 2024. The increase in our gross margin for fiscal 2025 reflects the benefit of our on-going strategy to utilize our global footprint to enhance operating efficiencies and our cost-saving initiatives. These increases were partially offset by (i) $4,607,000 for certain tariff costs paid for products sold before price increases were effective, (ii) $3,960,000 of certain one-time expenses for onboarding new business and (iii) $1,298,000 of transition expenses in connection with our on-going strategy to utilize our global footprint to enhance operating efficiencies. We expect to continue to realize benefits from these initiatives.

In addition, our gross margin for fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024 was impacted by (i) amortization of core and finished goods premiums paid to customers related to new business of $10,738,000 and $10,963,000, respectively and (ii) the non-cash quarterly revaluation of cores that are part of the finished goods on the customers' shelves (which are included in contract assets) to the lower of cost or net realizable value, which resulted in a write-down of $2,805,000 and $5,353,000, respectively.

*General and Administrative.* Our general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2025 were $64,047,000, which represents an increase of $6,278,000, or 10.9%, from fiscal 2024 of $57,769,000. This increase was primarily due to a loss of $2,987,000 during fiscal 2025 compared with a gain of $515,000 during fiscal 2024 resulting from unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on transactions denominated in foreign currencies during the year. In addition, our general and administrative expenses were impacted by $2,544,000 of increased severance during fiscal 2025 due to headcount reductions in connection with our strategy to enhance operating efficiencies.

*Sales and Marketing*. Our sales and marketing expenses were consistent at $22,561,000 for fiscal 2025 compared with $22,481,000 for fiscal 2024.

*Research and Development*. Our research and development expenses for fiscal 2025 were $11,405,000, which represents an increase of $1,410,000, or 14.1%, from fiscal 2024 of $9,995,000. This increase was primarily due to increased headcount, supplies, and outside consulting services.

*Foreign Exchange Impact of Lease Liabilities and Forward Contracts*. Our foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts were a non-cash loss of $15,892,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $3,814,000 for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. This change during fiscal 2025 compared with fiscal 2024 was primarily due to (i) the remeasurement of our foreign currency-denominated lease liabilities, which resulted in a non-cash loss of $11,713,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $5,187,000, respectively, due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and (ii) the forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which resulted in non-cash losses of $4,179,000 and $1,373,000, respectively, due to the changes in their fair values.

***Operating Income***

*Consolidated Operating Income*. Our consolidated operating income for fiscal 2025 was $39,923,000 compared with $46,120,000 for fiscal 2024. This decrease was primarily due our foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts, which were a non-cash loss of $15,892,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $3,814,000 for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, partially offset by higher gross profit and other items as discussed above.

***Interest Expense***

*Interest Expense, net.* Our interest expense for fiscal 2025 was $55,550,000, which represents a decrease of $4,490,000, or 7.5%, from interest expense for fiscal 2024 of $60,040,000. This decrease was primarily due to lower outstanding balances under our credit facility of $90,787,000 at March 31, 2025 compared with $128,000,000 at March 31, 2024 and lower interest rates on our accounts receivable discount programs and credit facility. The weighted average interest rate on our accounts receivable discount programs was 6.2% for fiscal 2025 compared with 6.8% for fiscal 2024. The weighted average interest on borrowings under our credit facility was 7.46% at March 31, 2025 compared to 8.43% at March 31, 2024.

***Change in Fair Value of Compound Net Derivative Liability***

*Change in Fair Value of Compound Net Derivative Liability.* Our change in fair value of compound net derivative liability was a non-cash loss of $60,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $1,020,000 for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively, associated with the convertible notes issued on March 31, 2023.

***Loss on Extinguishment of Debt***

*Loss on Extinguishment of Debt.* Our loss on extinguishment of debt was $168,000 in connection with the repayment of the remaining outstanding balance of our term loans during fiscal 2024.

***Provision for Income Taxes***

*Income Tax*. We recorded a income tax expense of $3,783,000, or an effective tax rate of (24.1)%, and $36,176,000, or an effective tax rate of (276.8)%, for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 was primarily impacted by (i) the change in valuation allowance, (ii) foreign income taxed at rates that are different from the federal statutory rate, and (iii) non-deductible executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2024 was primarily impacted by the establishment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that were not expected to be realized.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Overview***

We had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $160,446,000 and $156,034,000, a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.5:1.0 at March 31, 2025 and 1.4:1.0 at March 31, 2024.

In June 2024, we enrolled in a feature with our lenders, under which we sweep our cash collections to pay down our revolving facility and borrow on-demand to fund payments. This feature is expected to reduce interest expense on borrowings under the credit facility.

Our primary source of liquidity was from cash generated from operations, the use of our receivable discount programs, and credit facility during fiscal 2025. We believe our cash and cash equivalents, use of receivable discount programs, amounts available under our credit facility, and other sources are sufficient to satisfy our expected future liquidity needs, including lease and capital expenditure obligations over the next 12 months.

***Cash Flows***

The following summarizes cash flows as reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows:

*Fiscal 2025 Compared with Fiscal 2024*

Net cash provided by operating activities was $45,477,000 and $39,172,000 for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in our net cash provided by operating activities was due to increased operating results (net loss plus the net add-back for non-cash transactions in earnings), partially offset by changes in our working capital requirements to support our growth initiatives. We continue to manage our working capital to maximize our operating cash flow.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4,469,000 and $479,000 for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in our investing activities primarily resulted from increased capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $44,655,000 and $36,439,000 for fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. The change in our financing activities primarily resulted from (i) the net repayments of amounts outstanding under our revolving facility of $37,213,000 during fiscal 2025 compared with $17,200,000 during fiscal 2024 and (ii) the repurchase of 542,134 shares of our common stock for $4,832,000 during fiscal 2025. During the prior fiscal year, we paid off our remaining term loans of $13,125,000.

*Fiscal 2024 Compared with Fiscal 2023*

A discussion of the changes in our operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2024, as compared with the year ended March 31, 2023, has been omitted from this Form 10-K but may be found in [Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/918251/000114036124029700/ef20026278_10k.htm#ManagementsDiscussionandA) of the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on June 11, 2024, and the 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2024, which is available free of charge on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov by searching with our ticker symbol "MPAA" or at our internet address, www.motorcarparts.com, by clicking "Investors/Financials/SEC Filings" located at the top of the page.

***Capital Resources***

*Credit Facility*

We are party to a $268,620,000 senior secured financing, (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Facility") with a syndicate of lenders, and PNC Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, consisting of (i) a $238,620,000 revolving loan facility, subject to borrowing base restrictions, a $24,000,000 sublimit for borrowings by Canadian borrowers, and a $20,000,000 sublimit for letters of credit (the "Revolving Facility") and (ii) a $30,000,000 term loan facility (the "Term Loans"). The Term Loans were repaid during the year ended March 31, 2024. The Credit Facility matures on December 12, 2028. The lenders have a security interest in substantially all of our assets. In June 2024, we enrolled in a feature with our lenders, under which we sweep our cash collections to pay down our revolving facility and borrow on-demand to fund payments. This feature is expected to reduce interest expense on borrowings under the Credit Facility.

We had $90,787,000 and $128,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, $7,047,000 was outstanding for letters of credit at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, after certain contractual adjustments, $135,150,000 was available under the Revolving Facility. The interest rate on our Revolving Facility was 7.46% and 8.43%, at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Credit Facility requires us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if undrawn availability is less than 22.5% of the aggregate revolving commitments and a specified minimum undrawn availability. During the period ended March 31, 2025, undrawn availability was greater than the 22.5% threshold, therefore, the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant was not required to be tested.

*Convertible Notes*

On March 31, 2023, we entered into a note purchase agreement, as amended, (the "Note Purchase Agreement") with Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Bison Capital Partners VI-A, L.P. (collectively, the "Purchasers") and Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P., as the purchaser representative (the "Purchaser Representative") for the issuance and sale of $32,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due in 2029 (the "Convertible Notes"), which was used for general corporate purposes. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, compounded annually, and payable (i) in kind or (ii) in cash, annually in arrears on April 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2024. In April 2024, non-cash accrued interest on the Convertible Notes of $3,209,000 was paid in-kind and is included in the principal amount of Convertible Notes at March 31, 2025.

The aggregate proceeds from the offering were approximately $31,280,000, net of initial purchasers' fees and other related expenses. The initial conversion rate is 66.6667 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.00 per share of common stock). At March 31, 2025, we had 28,240,973 shares of our common stock available to be issued if the Convertible Notes were converted.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, we entered into common stock warrants (the "Warrants") with the Purchasers, which mature on March 30, 2029. The Warrants do not become exercisable unless a Company Redemption (as defined below) occurs and the volume weighted average price of our common stock for 20 consecutive days prior to the redemption is less than $15.00. The fair value of the Warrants, using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model, was zero at March 31, 2025 and 2024. We estimate the fair value of the Warrants at each balance sheet date. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of the Warrants will be recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

The Convertible Notes may be converted, subject to certain conditions, at an initial conversion price of $15.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the Convertible Notes (the "Conversion Option"). The Convertible Notes also include a provision for a return of interest ("Return of Interest"), which requires the Purchasers to return 15.0% of the interest paid to us in certain circumstances, subject to reduction of the Return of Interest amount in the event that the Return of Interest amount would result in total payments to the Purchasers of less than two times the original principal amount. The Return of Interest provision is accounted for as part of the Conversion Option and if the Conversion Option is exercised in the future, the Return of Interest provision will remain outstanding until the Purchaser sells all of the underlying stock received upon conversion. Upon conversion, any value associated with the Return of Interest provision will be reflected as a derivative asset upon conversion, with changes in fair value being recorded in earnings in the consolidated statements of operations until settlement in connection with the sale of the underlying stock by the Purchaser. Unless and until we deliver a redemption notice, the Purchasers of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their option. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes will be settled in shares of our common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. The Convertible Notes have a stated maturity of March 30, 2029, subject to earlier conversion or redemption in accordance with their terms.

If there is a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the Form of Convertible Promissory Note, we may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes. Except in the case of the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, we may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to March 31, 2026. After March 31, 2026, we may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes for a cash purchase (the "Company Redemption") price equal to the Redemption Price (as defined below) plus $5,000,000, but only if (i) we are listed on a national exchange, (ii) there is no "Event of Default" occurring and continuing and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA for the prior four quarters is greater than $80,000,000. The "Redemption Price" shall mean a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. However, if the volume weighted average price of our common stock for 20 consecutive days prior to the notice of the Company Redemption is less than $15, the Purchasers may exercise the warrants and we will pay the Redemption Price plus $2,000,000.

The Conversion Option and the Company Redemption both met the criteria for bifurcation from the Convertible Notes as derivatives and have been combined as a compound net derivative liability (the "Compound Net Derivative Liability"). The Compound Net Derivative Liability has been recorded within convertible note, related party in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Conversion Option and the Company Redemption option using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model was a liability of $9,000,000 and $9,800,000, and an asset of $1,530,000 and $2,390,000 at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We estimate the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability at each balance sheet date. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability is recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded a loss of $60,000 and a gain of $1,020,000, respectively, as the change in fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Convertible Notes also contain additional features, such as, default interest and options related to a Fundamental Transaction, requiring bifurcation which were not separately accounted for as the value of such features were not material at March 31, 2025 and 2024. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of those features is recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Convertible Notes include customary provisions relating to the occurrence of Events of Default, which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Convertible Notes; (ii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving us or any of our subsidiaries; (iii) the entering of one or more final judgments or orders against us or any of our subsidiaries for an aggregate payment exceeding $25,000,000; (iv) the acceleration of senior debt or any other debt greater than $25,000,000; (v) certain failures of us to comply with certain provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement or material breaches of the Note Purchase Agreement by us or any of our subsidiaries; (vi) any material provision of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the guarantee, the subordination agreement, the Warrants or the registration rights agreement, for any reason, ceases to be valid and binding on us or any subsidiary, or any subsidiary shall so claim in writing to challenge the validity of or our liability under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, or the registration rights agreement; or (vii) we fail to maintain the listing of our capital stock on a national securities exchange. Events of Default will be subject to a 30-day cure period except for those related to clause (ii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, we shall deliver written notice to the Purchasers within 5 business days of first learning of such Event of Default. If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to us (and not solely with respect to our significant subsidiary) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action.

Unamortized debt issuance costs of $916,000 and $1,058,000 are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amounts of the Convertible Notes at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method through the maturity of the Convertible Notes and recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The effective interest rate was 18.3% as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Debt issuance costs of $360,000 allocated to the Compound Net Derivative Liability were immediately expensed to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2023.

Additionally, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, subject to certain conditions, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right to nominate one director to serve (the "Investor Director") on our Board of Directors (the "Board"). If an Investor Director is not currently serving on the Board, and subject to certain other conditions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right to designate one person to have observation rights with respect to all meetings of the Board. In connection with our entry into the Note Purchase Agreement, we appointed Douglas Trussler to serve on our Board.

*Accounts Receivable Discount Programs*

We use accounts receivable discount programs offered by certain customers and their respective banks. Under these programs, we have options to sell those customers' receivables to those banks at a discount to be agreed upon at the time the receivables are sold. These accounts receivable discount programs allow us to accelerate receipt of payment on customers' receivables. While these arrangements have reduced our working capital needs, there can be no assurance that these accounts receivable discount programs will continue in the future. Interest expense resulting from these accounts receivable discount programs would increase if interest rates rise, if utilization of these accounts receivable discount programs expand, if customers extend their payment to us, or if the discount period is extended to reflect more favorable payment terms to customers.

The following is a summary of the accounts receivable discount programs:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Fiscal Years Ended March 31,** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Fiscal Years Ended March 31,** |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **2025** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Receivables discounted | $&nbsp;&nbsp;643918000 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;618012000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Weighted average days | &nbsp;&nbsp;343 | &nbsp;&nbsp;336 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Weighted average discount rate | &nbsp;&nbsp;6.2% | &nbsp;&nbsp;6.8% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; Amount of discount as interest expense | $&nbsp;&nbsp;38021000 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;39175000 |

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

*Supplier Finance Programs*

We utilize a supplier finance program, which allows certain of our suppliers to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institutions. The program is administered by a third party. Commitments from participating financial institutions that are available to suppliers under this program increased to $30,000,000 from $15,000,000 during fiscal 2025. We have no economic interest in the sale of these receivables and no direct relationship with the financial institution. Payments to the third-party administrator are based on services rendered and are not related to the volume or number of financing agreements between suppliers, financial institution, and the third-party administrator. We are not a party to agreements negotiated between participating suppliers and the financial institution. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and payment terms, are not affected by a supplier's decision to participate in this program. We do not provide guarantees and there are no assets pledged to the financial institution or the third-party administrator for the committed payment in connection with this program. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $33,661,000 and $1,695,000, respectively, of outstanding supplier obligations confirmed as valid under this program, included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

The following is a summary of the changes in outstanding supplier obligations confirmed as valid under this program:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Year Ended March 31,** |
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **2025** |
| Confirmed obligations outstanding at March 31, 2024 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;1695000 |
| Invoices confirmed as valid during the year | &nbsp;&nbsp;91951000 |
| Confirmed invoices paid during the year | &nbsp;&nbsp;(59985000) |
| Confirmed obligations outstanding at March 31, 2025 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;33661000 |

---

*Multi-year Customer Agreements*

We have or are renegotiating long-term agreements with many of our major customers. Under these agreements, which in most cases have initial terms of at least four years, we are designated as the exclusive or primary supplier for specified categories of our products. Because of the very competitive nature of the market and the limited number of customers for these products, our customers have sought and obtained price concessions, significant marketing allowances and more favorable delivery and payment terms in consideration for our designation as a customer's exclusive or primary supplier. These incentives differ from contract to contract and can include (i) the issuance of a specified amount of credits against receivables in accordance with a schedule set forth in the relevant contract, (ii) support for a particular customer's research or marketing efforts provided on a scheduled basis, (iii) discounts granted in connection with each individual shipment of product, and (iv) other marketing, research, store expansion or product development support. These contracts typically require that we meet ongoing performance standards.

While these longer-term agreements strengthen our customer relationships, the increased demand for our products often requires that we increase our inventories and personnel. Customer demands that we purchase their Remanufactured Core inventory also require the use of our working capital. The marketing and other allowances we typically grant our customers in connection with our new or expanded customer relationships adversely impact the near-term revenues, profitability and associated cash flows from these arrangements. However, we believe the investment we make in these new or expanded customer relationships will improve our overall liquidity and cash flow from operations over time.

***Share Repurchase Program***

In August 2018, our board of directors approved an increase in our share repurchase program from $20,000,000 to $37,000,000 of our common stock. During fiscal 2025, we repurchased 542,134 shares of our common stock for $4,832,000. During fiscal 2024 and 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2025, $23,577,000 was utilized and $13,423,000 remains available to repurchase shares under the authorized share repurchase program, subject to the limit in our Credit Facility and Convertible Notes. We retired the 1,379,141 shares repurchased under this program through March 31, 2025. Our share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

During fiscal 2025, we adopted a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the SEC rule to facilitate share repurchases under our current authorized program. The adoption of a 10b5-1 plan allows us the ability to repurchase shares when we would be ordinarily restricted from purchases due to blackout periods or being in possession of material non-public information.

***Capital Expenditures and Commitments***

Our total capital expenditures were $6,066,000 for fiscal 2025 and $1,755,000 for fiscal 2024. These capital expenditures include (i) cash paid for the purchase of plant and equipment, (ii) equipment acquired under finance leases, and (iii) non-cash capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 primarily include the purchase of equipment for our current operations and our global growth initiatives. We expect to incur approximately $9,500,000 of capital expenditures primarily to support our global growth initiatives and maintenance of our facilities and equipment during fiscal 2026. We have used and expect to continue using our working capital and additional capital lease obligations to finance these capital expenditures.

*Contractual Obligations*

The following summarizes our contractual obligations and other commitments as of March 31, 2025 and the effect such obligations could have on our cash flows in future periods:

---

| | | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

(1) Finance lease obligations represent amounts due under finance leases for various types of equipment.

(2) Operating lease obligations represent amounts due for rent under our leases for all our facilities and certain equipment.

(3) Obligations under our Revolving Facility mature on December 12, 2028. This debt is classified as a short term liability on our balance sheet as we expect to use our working capital to repay the amounts outstanding under our Revolving Facility.

(4) Obligations under our Convertible Notes mature on March 30, 2029. There are no future payments required under the Convertible Notes prior to their maturity, therefore, the carrying value of the notes plus interest payable in kind, assuming no early redemption or conversion has occurred, is included in the above table based on their maturity date of March 30, 2029.

(5) Accrued core payment represents the amounts due for principal of $6,964,000 and interest payments of $323,000 to be made in connection with the purchases of Remanufactured Cores from our customers, which are held by these customers and remain on their premises.

(6) The core bank liability represents the amounts due for principal of $11,843,000 and interest payments of $270,000 to be made in connection with the return of Used Cores from our customers.

(7) Finished goods liabilities represents the amounts due for principal of $518,000 and no interest payments to be made in connection with the purchase of finished goods from our customers.

(8) We are unable to reliably estimate the timing of future payments related to uncertain tax position liabilities at March 31, 2025; therefore, future tax payment accruals related to uncertain tax positions in the amount of $1,362,000 have been excluded from the table above.

(9) Customer allowances earned represent commitments we have with certain customers to provide marketing allowances in consideration for multi-year customer agreements to provide products over a defined period.

#### Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our primary market risk relates to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and customer credit. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As our overseas operations expand, our exposure to the risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations will continue to increase.

***Interest rate risk***

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and receivable discount programs, which have interest costs that vary with interest rate movements. Our revolving facility bears interest at variable base rates, plus an applicable margin, which was 7.46% and 8.43% at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At March 31, 2025, borrowings under our revolving facility totaled $90,787,000. If interest rates were to increase 1%, our net annual interest expense on our revolving facility would have increased by approximately $908,000. In addition, during the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, collections under our accounts receivable discount program were $643,918,000 and $618,012,000, respectively. The weighted average discount rate was 6.2% and 6.8% during fiscal 2025 and 2024, respectively. If discount rates were to increase 1%, our net annual interest expense on our accounts receivable discount programs would have increased by approximately $6,439,000.

***Foreign currency risk***

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk inherent in our purchases and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We transact business in the following foreign currencies: Mexican pesos, Malaysian ringgit, Singapore dollar, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, and the Canadian dollar. Our primary currency risks result from fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso and to a lesser extent, the Chinese yuan. To mitigate these risks, we enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to exchange U.S. dollars for these foreign currencies. The extent to which we use forward foreign currency exchange contracts is periodically reviewed in light of our estimate of market conditions and the terms and length of anticipated requirements. The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to reduce our exposure to the risk that the eventual net cash outflow resulting from funding the expenses of the foreign operations will be materially affected by changes in exchange rates. These contracts generally expire in a year or less. Any changes in the fair values of our forward foreign currency exchange contracts are reflected in current period earnings. Based upon our forward foreign currency exchange contracts related to these currencies, an increase of 10% in exchange rates at March 31, 2025 would have increased our operating expenses by approximately $4,023,000. During fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, losses of $4,179,000 and $1,373,000, respectively, were recorded due to the change in the value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts subsequent to entering into the contracts. In addition, we recorded a loss of $11,713,000 and a gain of $5,187,000 in connection with the remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated lease liabilities during fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024, respectively.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

***Credit Risk***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We regularly review our accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality and age of the accounts receivable, and the current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay such amounts owed to us. The majority of our sales are to leading automotive aftermarket parts suppliers. We participate in trade accounts receivable discount programs with our major customers. If the creditworthiness of any of our customers was downgraded, we could be adversely affected, in that we may be subjected to higher interest rates on the use of these discount programs or we could be forced to wait longer for payment.In certain cases, we have experienced higher interest rates due to changes in customer credit profiles, which has impacted the overall cost of these financing arrangements. Should our customers experience significant cash flow problems, our financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and the maximum amount of loss that would be incurred would be the outstanding receivable balance, Used Cores expected to be returned by customers, and the value of the Remanufactured Cores held at customers' locations. We maintain an allowance for credit losses that, in our opinion, provides for an adequate reserve to cover losses that may be incurred.

#### Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The information required by this item is set forth in the consolidated financial statements, commencing on page F-1 included herein.

#### Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure
None.

#### Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
**Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO"), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the "Exchange Act,") as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, CFO and CAO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures, and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, our CEO, CFO and CAO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2025.

**Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting**

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d- 15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025 using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its assessment, our management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2025.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025 has been audited by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP. Their assessment is included in the accompanying Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

**Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal control performed during the period covered by this report, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls**

Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake.

Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

#### Item 9B. Other Information
**Trading Arrangements**

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" as each such term is defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, the Company adopted a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the SEC rule to facilitate share repurchases by the Company under its current authorized program. The adoption of a 10b5-1 plan allows the Company the ability to repurchase shares when it would be ordinarily restricted from purchases due to blackout periods or being in possession of material non-public information.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Motorcar Parts of America, Inc.

**Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

We have audited Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. and subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15a.(2) and our report dated June 9, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

**Basis for Opinion**

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Motorcar Parts of America, Inc.

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15a.(2) (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated June 9, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**Critical Audit Matter**

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

|  | ***Marketing Allowances***  |
| *Description of the Matter*  | As more fully described in Note 2 and Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements, revenue is recognized net of applicable marketing allowances. These marketing allowances vary by contract and can include (i) the issuance of specified credits against receivables, (ii) support for research or marketing efforts, (iii) discounts granted in connection with each individual shipment of product, and (iv) other marketing, research, store expansion or product development support. At March 31, 2025, marketing allowances recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet was $16,283,000, which is presented within contract liabilities.<br>Auditing the completeness of marketing allowances was complex due to the high volume of transactions processed by the Company and the variability of marketing allowances by contract.  |

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit*  | &nbsp;&nbsp; We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the marketing allowances processes, including management's review of contracts with customers containing marketing allowances, management's review of the completeness and accuracy of data used in the marketing allowance accrual analysis at period end, and management's review of credits issued to customers subsequent to the balance sheet date. <br>Our audit procedures to test the completeness of marketing allowances included, among others, reviewing significant contracts with customers, obtaining confirmations of contractual terms and conditions from a sample of the Company's customers, and testing credits issued or payments made to customers subsequent to year-end. We tested the completeness and accuracy of data used in the calculation of the marketing allowance accrual by agreeing contractual terms to the underlying agreements. In addition, we evaluated the relationship between revenue and marketing allowances and assessed subsequent events to determine whether there was any new information that would require adjustments to the amounts recorded.  |

**2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies**

***Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements***

*Reportable Segment Disclosures*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In November 2023, the FASB issued *ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280)*. This standard requires the Company to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and are included within each reported measure of segment operating results. The standard also requires the Company to disclose the total amount of any other items included in segment operating results, which were not deemed to be significant expenses for separate disclosure, along with a qualitative description of the composition of these other items. In addition, the standard also requires disclosure of the CODM's title and position, as well as detail on how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment operating results to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The standard also aligns interim segment reporting disclosure requirements with annual segment reporting disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance as of March 31, 2025 increased the Company's disclosures (see Note 20) but did not have any material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

**Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted**

*Disclosure Improvements*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, *Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC's Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative*. This standard was issued in response to the SEC's disclosure update and simplification initiative, which affects a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected topics unless otherwise indicated. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC's removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.

*Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, *Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740)*. This standard requires the Company to provide further disaggregated income tax disclosures for specific categories on the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as additional information about federal, state/local and foreign income taxes. The standard also requires the Company to annually disclose its income taxes paid (net of refunds received), disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be applied prospective basis, although optional retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.

*Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, *Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("DISE") (Subtopic 220-40)*. This standard requires the Company to disclose, in the footnotes at each interim and annual reporting period, information about expenses by the nature of the expense in addition to certain disclosures about selling expenses. Entities are required to include the following relevant expense captions: (i) purchase of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization, and (v) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, *Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) Clarifying the Effective Date*, which is intended to clarify the effective date of ASU No. 2024-03. As clarified in ASU 2025-01, the new 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. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.

*Debt with Conversion and Other Options*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, *Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments*, which seeks to clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.

***Principles of Consolidation***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

***Segment Reporting***

The Company's three operating segments are as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● **Hard Parts**, which includes (i) light duty rotating electric products such as alternators and starters, (ii) wheel hub products, (iii) brake-related products, including brake calipers, brake boosters, brake rotors, brake pads and brake master cylinders, and (iv) turbochargers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● **Test Solutions and Diagnostic Equipment**, which includes (i) applications for combustion engine vehicles, including bench-top testers for alternators and starters, (ii) equipment for the pre- and post-production of electric vehicles, and (iii) software emulation of power system applications for the electrification of all forms of transportation (including automobiles, trucks, the emerging electrification of systems within the aerospace industry, and electric vehicle charging stations), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● **Heavy Duty**, which includes non-discretionary automotive aftermarket replacement hard parts for heavy-duty truck, industrial, marine, and agricultural applications.

The Company's Hard Parts operating segment meets the criteria of a reportable segment. The Test Solutions and Diagnostic Equipment and Heavy Duty segments are not material, and are not required to be separately reported. See Note 20 for more information.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cash primarily consists of cash on hand and bank deposits. Cash equivalents consist of money market funds. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained with various financial institutions.

***Accounts Receivable***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company's accounts receivable are recorded at amortized cost less an allowance for credit losses that are not expected to be recovered. The net amount of accounts receivable and corresponding allowance for credit losses are presented in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses resulting from the expected failure or inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company does not require collateral for accounts receivable. The Company believes its credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable is limited due to its credit evaluation process and the long-term nature of its relationships with its largest customers. The Company utilizes a historical loss rate method, adjusted for any changes in economic conditions or risk characteristics, to estimate its expected credit losses each period. When developing an estimate of expected credit losses, the Company considers all available relevant information regarding the collectability of cash flows, including historical information, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions over the contractual life of the receivable. The historical loss rate method considers past write-offs of trade accounts receivable over a period commensurate with the initial term of the Company's contracts with its customers. The Company recognizes the allowance for credit losses at inception and reassesses quarterly based on management's expectation of the asset's collectability. The Company's accounts receivable are short-term in nature and written off only when all collection attempts have failed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company has receivable discount programs that have been established with certain major customers and their respective banks. Under these programs, the Company has the option to sell those customers' receivables to those banks at a discount to be agreed upon at the time the receivables are sold. Once the customer chooses which outstanding invoices are going to be made available for discounting, the Company can accept or decline the bundle of invoices provided. The receivable discount programs are non-recourse, and funds cannot be reclaimed by the customer or its bank after the related invoices have been discounted.

***Inventory***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inventory is comprised of: (i) Used Core and component raw materials, (ii) work-in-process, (iii) remanufactured finished goods and purchased finished goods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Used Core, component raw materials, and purchased finished goods are stated at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Work-in-process is in various stages of production and is valued at the average cost of Used Cores and component raw materials issued to work orders still open, including allocations of labor and overhead costs. Historically, work-in-process inventory has not been material compared to the total inventory balance.

Remanufactured finished goods include: (i) the Used Core cost and (ii) the cost of component raw materials, and allocations of labor and variable and fixed overhead costs (the "Unit Cost"). The allocations of labor and variable and fixed overhead costs are based on the actual use of the production facilities over the prior 12 months which approximates normal capacity. This method prevents the distortion in allocated labor and overhead costs that would occur during short periods of abnormally low or high production. In addition, the Company excludes certain unallocated overhead such as severance costs, duplicative facility overhead costs, start-up costs, training, and spoilage from the calculation and expenses these unallocated overhead costs as period costs. Purchased finished goods also include an allocation of fixed overhead costs.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The estimate of net realizable value is subjective and based on management's judgment and knowledge of current industry demand and management's projections of industry demand. The estimates may, therefore, be revised if there are changes in the overall market for the Company's products or market changes that in management's judgment impact its ability to sell or liquidate potentially excess or obsolete inventory. Net realizable value is determined at least quarterly as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net realizable value for finished goods by customer, by product line are determined based on the agreed upon selling price with the customer for a product in the trailing 12 months. The Company compares the average selling price, including any discounts and allowances, to the finished goods cost of on-hand inventory, less any reserve for excess and obsolete inventory. Any reduction of value is recorded as cost of goods sold in the period in which the revaluation is identified.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net realizable value for Used Cores are determined based on current core purchase prices from core brokers to the extent that core purchases in the trailing 12 months are significant. Remanufacturing consumes, on average, more than one Used Core for each remanufactured unit produced since not all Used Cores are reusable. The yield rates depend upon both the product and consumer specifications. The Company purchases Used Cores from core brokers to supplement its yield rates and Used Cores not returned under the core exchange programs. The Company also considers the net selling price its customers have agreed to pay for Used Cores that are not returned under its core exchange programs to assess whether Used Core cost exceeds Used Core net realizable value on a by customer, by product line basis. Any reduction of core cost is recorded as cost of goods sold in the period in which the revaluation is identified.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

● The Company records an allowance for potentially excess and obsolete inventory based upon recent sales history, the quantity of inventory on-hand, and a forecast of potential use of the inventory. The Company periodically reviews inventory to identify excess quantities and part numbers that are experiencing a reduction in demand. Any part numbers with quantities identified during this process are reserved for at rates based upon management's judgment, historical rates, and consideration of possible scrap and liquidation values which may be as high as 100% of cost if no liquidation market exists for the part. As a result of this process, the Company recorded reserves for excess and obsolete inventory of $18,964,000 and $17,372,000 at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This increase in the reserve was primarily due to excess inventory of certain finished goods on hand at March 31, 2025 compared with March 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company records vendor discounts as a reduction of inventories and are recognized as a reduction to cost of sales as the inventories are sold.

***Inventory Unreturned***

Inventory unreturned represents the Company's estimate, based on historical data and prospective information provided directly by the customer, of finished goods shipped to customers that the Company expects to be returned under its general right of return policy, after the balance sheet date. Inventory unreturned includes only the Unit Cost of a finished good. The return rate is calculated based on expected returns within the normal operating cycle, which is generally one year. As such, the related amounts are classified in current assets. Inventory unreturned is valued in the same manner as the Company's finished goods inventory.

***Contract Assets***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Contract assets consists of: (i) the core portion of the finished goods shipped to customers, (ii) upfront payments to customers in connection with customer contracts, (iii) core premiums paid to customers, (iv) finished goods premiums paid to customers, and (v) long-term core inventory deposits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Remanufactured Cores held at customers' locations as a part of the finished goods sold to the customer are classified as long-term contract assets. These assets are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value of Used Cores on hand (see Inventory above). For these Remanufactured Cores, the Company expects the finished good containing the Remanufactured Core to be returned under the Company's general right of return policy or a similar Used Core to be returned to the Company by the customer, under the Company's core exchange programs, in each case for credit.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Remanufactured Cores and Used Cores returned by consumers to the Company's customers but not yet returned to the Company are classified as "Cores expected to be returned by customers", which are included in short-term contract assets until the Company physically receives them during its normal operating cycle, which is generally one year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Upfront payments to customers represent marketing allowances, such as sign-on bonuses, slotting fees, and promotional allowances provided by the Company to its customers. These allowances are recognized as an asset and amortized over the appropriate period of time as a reduction of revenue if the Company expects to generate future revenues associated with the upfront payment. If the Company does not expect to generate additional revenue, then the upfront payment is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations when payment occurs as a reduction of revenue. Upfront payments expected to be amortized during the Company's normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are classified as short-term contract assets.

Core premiums paid to customers represent the difference between the Remanufactured Core acquisition price paid to customers, generally in connection with new business, and the related Used Core cost. The core premiums are treated as an asset and recognized as a reduction of revenue through the later of the date at which related revenue is recognized or the date at which the sales incentive is offered. The Company considers, among other things, the length of its largest ongoing customer relationships, duration of customer contracts, and the average life of vehicles on the road in determining the appropriate period of time over which to amortize these premiums. These core premiums are amortized over a period typically ranging from six to eight years, adjusted for specific circumstances associated with the arrangement. Core premiums are recorded as long-term contract assets. Core premiums expected to be amortized within the Company's normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are classified as short-term contract assets.

Finished goods premiums paid to customers represent the difference between the finished good acquisition price paid to customers, generally in connection with new business, and the related finished good cost, which is treated as an asset and recognized as a reduction of revenue through the later of the date at which related revenue is recognized or the date at which the sales incentive is offered. The Company considers, among other things, the length of its largest ongoing customer relationships, duration of customer contracts, and the average life of vehicles on the road in determining the appropriate period of time over which to amortize these premiums. Finished goods premiums are amortized over a period typically ranging from six to eight years, adjusted for specific circumstances associated with the arrangement. Finished goods premiums are recorded as long-term contract assets. Finished goods premiums expected to be amortized within our normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are classified as short-term contract assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Long-term core inventory deposits represent the cost of Remanufactured Cores the Company has purchased from customers, which are held by the customers and remain on the customers' premises. The costs of these Remanufactured Cores were established at the time of the transaction based on the then current cost. The selling value of these Remanufactured Cores was established based on agreed upon amounts with these customers. The Company expects to realize the selling value and the related cost of these Remanufactured Cores should its relationship with a customer end, a possibility that the Company considers remote based on existing long-term customer agreements and historical experience.

***Customer Finished Goods Returns Accrual***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The customer finished goods returns accrual represents the Company's estimate of its exposure to customer returns, including warranty returns, under its general right of return policy to allow customers to return items that their end user customers have returned to them and from time to time, stock adjustment returns when the customers' inventory of certain product lines exceeds the anticipated sales to end-user customers. The customer finished goods returns accrual represents the Unit Value of the estimated returns and is classified as a current liability due to the expectation that these returns will occur within the normal operating cycle of one year.

***Income Taxes***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method, which measures deferred income taxes by applying enacted statutory rates in effect at the balance sheet date to the differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements. The resulting asset or liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The primary components of the Company's income tax expense were (i) federal income taxes, (ii) state income taxes, (iii) change in realizable deferred tax items, (iv) foreign income taxed at rates that are different from the federal statutory rate, and (v) impact of the non-deductible executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company's ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets. The Company makes these estimates and judgments about its future taxable income based on assumptions that are consistent with the Company's future plans. A valuation allowance is established when the Company believes it is not more likely than not all or some deferred tax assets will be realized. In evaluating the Company's ability to recover deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction in which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, past financial performance, and tax planning strategies. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that is considered not more likely than not to be realized under U.S. GAAP. Should the actual amount differ from the Company's estimate, the amount of the valuation allowance could be impacted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company has made an accounting policy election to recognize the U.S. tax effects of global intangible low-taxed income as a component of income tax expense in the period the tax arises.

***Plant and Equipment***

Plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of additions and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives. Machinery and equipment are depreciated over a range from five to ten years. Office equipment and fixtures are depreciated over a range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the leasehold improvements, whichever is shorter. Depreciation of assets recorded under finance leases is included in depreciation expense. The Company evaluates plant and equipment, including leasehold improvements, equipment, construction in progress, and right-of-use assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. There was no impairment recorded during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023.

***Leases***

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Lease assets and lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, which includes the minimum unconditional term of the lease. Certain of the Company's leases include options to extend the leases for up to five years. When the Company has the option to extend the lease term, terminate the lease before the contractual expiration date, or purchase the leased asset, and it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option, the option is considered in determining the classification and measurement of the lease. The lease assets are recorded net of any lease incentives received. The Company exempts leases with an initial term of 12 months or less from balance sheet recognition and, for all classes of assets, combines non-lease components with lease components. Lease assets are tested for impairment in the same manner as long-lived assets used in operations.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate for each of its leases in determining the present value of its expected lease payments based on the information available at the lease commencement date as the rate implicit for each of its leases is not readily detainable. The Company's incremental borrowing rate is determined by analyzing and combining (i) an applicable risk-free rate, (ii) a financial spread adjustment, and (iii) any lease specific adjustment. Certain leases contain provisions for property-related costs that are variable in nature for which the Company is responsible, including common area maintenance and other property operating services, which are expensed as incurred and not included in the determination of lease assets and lease liabilities. These costs are calculated based on a variety of factors including property values, tax and utility rates, property services fees, and other factors. The Company records rent expense for operating leases, some of which have escalating rent payments, on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has material non-functional currency leases. As required for other monetary liabilities, lessees shall remeasure a foreign currency-denominated lease liability using the exchange rate at each reporting date, but the lease assets are nonmonetary assets measured at historical rates, which are not affected by subsequent changes in the exchange rates. The Company recorded a loss of $11,713,000 and gains of $5,187,000 and $6,515,000 during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which are included in foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the consolidated statements of operations. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the Company's leases.

***Goodwill***

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level, which represents the Company's operating segments. In testing for goodwill impairment, the Company may elect to utilize a qualitative assessment to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If the Company's qualitative assessment indicates that goodwill impairment is more likely than not, it will proceed with performing the quantitative assessment. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value an impairment loss will be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. The Company completes the required annual testing of goodwill impairment for each of the reporting units during the fourth quarter of the year. No impairment was recorded during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023.

***Intangible Assets***

The Company's intangible assets other than goodwill are finite–lived and amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective useful lives. The Company analyzes its finite-lived intangible assets for impairment when and if indicators of impairment exist. No impairment was recorded during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 or 2023.

***Debt Issuance Costs***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Debt issuance costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain financing. Debt issuance costs related to the Company's convertible notes are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from carrying amounts of the convertible notes. Debt issuance costs related to the Company's revolving loan are presented in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, regardless of whether or not there are any outstanding borrowings under the revolving loan. Debt issuance costs related to the Company's convertible notes are amortized using the effective interest method and debt issuance costs related to the Company's revolving loans are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the term of the related loans and included in interest expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

***Foreign Currency Translation***

For financial reporting purposes, the functional currency of the foreign subsidiaries is the local currency. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations for which the local currency is the functional currency are translated into the U.S. dollar at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. The accumulated foreign currency translation adjustment is presented as a component of comprehensive income or loss in the consolidated statements of shareholders' equity. Aggregate foreign currency transactions recorded in general and administrative expenses were a loss of $2,987,000, a gain of $515,000, and a loss of $1,401,000, for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

***Revenue Recognition***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Revenue is recognized when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the Company's customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of its products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Revenue is recognized net of all anticipated returns, marketing allowances, volume discounts, and other forms of variable consideration. Revenue is recognized either when products are shipped or when delivered, depending on the applicable contract terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The price of a finished remanufactured product sold to customers is generally comprised of separately invoiced amounts for the Remanufactured Core included in the product ("Remanufactured Core value") and the unit portion included in the product ("Unit Value"), for which revenue is recorded based on our then current price list, net of applicable discounts and allowances. The Remanufactured Core value is recorded as revenue based upon the estimate of Used Cores that will not be returned by the customer for credit. These estimates are subjective and based on management's judgment and knowledge of historical, current, and projected return rates. As reconciliations are completed with the customers the actual rates at which Used Cores are not being returned may differ from the current estimates. This may result in periodic adjustments of the estimated contract asset and liability amounts recorded and may impact the projected revenue recognition rates used to record the estimated future revenue. These estimates may also be revised if there are changes in contractual arrangements with customers, or changes in business practices. A significant portion of the remanufactured automotive parts sold to customers are replaced by similar Used Cores sent back for credit by customers under the core exchange programs (as described in further detail below). The number of Used Cores sent back under the core exchange programs is generally limited to the number of similar Remanufactured Cores previously shipped to each customer.

*Revenue Recognition — Core Exchange Programs*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Full price Remanufactured Cores: When remanufactured products are shipped, certain customers are invoiced for the Remanufactured Core value of the product at the full Remanufactured Core sales price. For these Remanufactured Cores, revenue is only recognized based upon an estimate of the rate at which these customers will pay cash for Remanufactured Cores in lieu of sending back similar Used Cores for credits under the core exchange programs. The remainder of the full price Remanufactured Core value invoiced to these customers is established as a long-term contract liability rather than being recognized as revenue in the period the products are shipped as the Company expects these Remanufactured Cores to be returned for credit under its core exchange programs.

Nominal price Remanufactured Cores: Certain other customers are invoiced for the Remanufactured Core value of the product shipped at a nominal (generally $0.01 or less) Remanufactured Core price. For these nominal Remanufactured Cores, revenue is only recognized based upon an estimate of the rate at which these customers will pay cash for Remanufactured Cores in lieu of sending back similar Used Cores for credits under the core exchange programs. Revenue amounts are calculated based on contractually agreed upon pricing for these Remanufactured Cores for which the customers are not returning similar Used Cores. The remainder of the nominal price Remanufactured Core value invoiced to these customers is established as a long-term contract liability rather than being recognized as revenue in the period the products are shipped as the Company expects these Remanufactured Cores to be returned for credit under its core exchange programs.

*Revenue Recognition; General Right of Return*

Customers are allowed to return goods that their end-user customers have returned to them, whether or not the returned item is defective (warranty returns). In addition, under the terms of certain agreements and industry practice, customers from time to time are allowed stock adjustments when their inventory of certain product lines exceeds the anticipated sales to end-user customers (stock adjustment returns). Customers have various contractual rights for stock adjustment returns, which are typically less than 5% of units sold. In some instances, a higher level of returns is allowed in connection with significant restocking orders. The aggregate returns are generally limited to less than 20% of unit sales.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The allowance for warranty returns is established based on a historical analysis of the level of this type of return as a percentage of total unit sales. The allowance for stock adjustment returns is based on specific customer inventory levels, inventory movements, and information on the estimated timing of stock adjustment returns provided by customers. Stock adjustment returns do not occur at any specific time during the year. The return rate for stock adjustments is calculated based on expected returns within the normal operating cycle, which is generally one year.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Unit Value of the warranty and stock adjustment returns are treated as reductions of revenue based on the estimations made at the time of the sale. The Remanufactured Core value of warranty and stock adjustment returns are provided for as indicated in the paragraph "Revenue Recognition – Core Exchange Programs".

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As is standard in the industry, the Company only accepts returns from on-going customers. If a customer ceases doing business with the Company, it has no further obligation to accept additional product returns from that customer. Similarly, the Company accepts product returns and grants appropriate credits to new customers from the time the new customer relationship is established.

***Shipping Costs***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company includes shipping and handling charges in the gross invoice price to customers and classifies the total amount as revenue. All shipping and handling costs are expensed as cost of sales as inventory is sold.

***Contract Liability***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Contract liability consists of: (i) customer allowances earned, (ii) accrued core payments, (iii) customer core returns accruals, (iv) core bank liability, (v) finished goods liabilities, and (vi) customer deposits.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Customer allowances earned includes all marketing allowances provided to customers. Such allowances include sales incentives and concessions. Voluntary marketing allowances related to a single exchange of product are recorded as a reduction of revenues at the time the related revenues are recorded or when such incentives are offered. Other marketing allowances, which may only be applied against future purchases, are recorded as a reduction to revenues in accordance with a schedule set forth in the relevant contract. Sales incentive amounts are recorded based on the value of the incentive provided. See Note 15 for a description of all marketing allowances. Customer allowances to be provided to customers within the Company's normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are considered short-term contract liabilities and the remainder are recorded as long-term contract liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Accrued core payments represent the sales price of Remanufactured Cores purchased from customers, generally in connection with new business, which are held by these customers and remain on their premises. The sales price of these Remanufactured Cores will be realized when the Company's relationship with a customer ends, a possibility that the Company considers remote based on existing long-term customer agreements and historical experience. The payments to be made to customers for purchases of Remanufactured Cores within the Company's normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are considered short-term contract liabilities and the remainder are recorded as long-term contract liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Customer core returns accruals represent the full and nominally priced Remanufactured Cores shipped to the Company's customers. When the Company ships the product, it recognizes an obligation to accept a similar Used Core sent back under the core exchange programs based upon the Remanufactured Core price agreed upon by the Company and its customer. The Contract liability related to Used Cores returned by consumers to the Company's customers but not yet returned to the Company are classified as short-term contract liabilities until the Company physically receives these Used Cores as they are expected to be returned during the Company's normal operating cycle, which is generally one year and the remainder are recorded as long-term contract liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The core bank liability represents the full Remanufactured Core sales price paid for cores returned under the core exchange programs. The payment for these cores are made over a contractual repayment period pursuant to the Company's agreement with this customer. Payments to be made within the Company's normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are considered short-term contract liabilities and the remainder are recorded as long-term contract liabilities.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Finished goods liabilities represents the agreed upon price of finished goods purchased from customers, generally in connection with new business. The payment for these finished goods are made over a contractual repayment period pursuant to the Company's agreement with the customer. Payments to be made within the Company's normal operating cycle, which is generally one year, are considered short-term contract liabilities and the remainder are recorded as long-term contract liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Customer deposits represent the receipt of prepayments from customers for the obligation to transfer goods or services in the future. The Company classifies these customer deposits as short-term contract liabilities as the Company expects to satisfy these obligations within its normal operating cycle, which is generally one year.

***Advertising Costs***

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were $435,000, $614,000, and $606,000, respectively.

***Net Loss Per Share***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as stock options, warrants, and Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 8), which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock to the extent such impact is not anti-dilutive.

The following presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net loss per share.

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Years Ended March 31,** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Years Ended March 31,** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Years Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **2023** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net loss  | $&nbsp;&nbsp;(19470000) | $&nbsp;&nbsp;(49244000) | $&nbsp;&nbsp;(4207000) |

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net loss per share:  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Basic net loss per share  | $&nbsp;&nbsp;(0.99) | $&nbsp;&nbsp;(2.51) | $&nbsp;&nbsp;(0.22) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Diluted net loss per share  | $&nbsp;&nbsp;(0.99) | $&nbsp;&nbsp;(2.51) | $&nbsp;&nbsp;(0.22) |

---

Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted net income per share or decreasing diluted net loss per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares are not included in calculating diluted net loss per share. For the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, there were 2,323,321, 2,122,863, and 1,854,795, respectively, of potential common shares not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

In addition, for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, there were 2,493,963, 1,693,778, and 5,846, respectively, of potential common shares not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share under the "if-converted" method for the Convertible Notes because their effect was anti-dilutive. The potential common shares related to the Warrants (as defined below) issued in connection with the Convertible Notes (see Note 8) are anti-dilutive until they become exercisable and as of March 31, 2025, the Warrants were not exercisable.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

***Use of Estimates***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including allowances for credit losses, valuation of inventory and Used Cores, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives of long-lived assets, litigation matters, valuation of deferred tax assets, share-based compensation, sales returns and other customer marketing allowances, the incremental borrowing rate used in determining the present value of lease liabilities, and valuation of the embedded derivatives in connection with the convertible notes. Although the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimate or in the assumptions used in calculating the estimate, unforeseen changes in the industry, or business could materially impact the estimate and may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Financial Instruments***

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of short-term investments approximates their fair value as the shares of these mutual funds trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable the Company to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis. The carrying amounts of the revolving loan and other long-term liabilities approximate their fair value based on the variable nature of interest rates and current rates for instruments with similar characteristics. The estimated fair value of the Company's Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 8) was $42,398,000 and $38,276,000 using Level 3 inputs at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 14 for further information concerning the fair value of the Company's Convertible Notes.

***Share-Based Payments***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company has share-based compensation plans and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period for its share-based plans based on the fair value of the awards on the date of the grant, award or issuance and accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Share-based plans include stock option awards, restricted stock units, restricted stock awards, and performance stock units issued under the Company's incentive plans. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on (i) the estimated fair value of the award using the Black-Scholes option pricing model for stock options, (ii) the closing share price of the Company's stock on the grant date for restricted stock units and restricted stock awards, (iii) the closing share price of the Company's stock on the grant date for performance stock units subject to performance conditions, and (iv) the estimated fair value of the award using the Monte Carlo valuation model for performance stock units subject to market conditions. See Note 19 for further information concerning the Company's share-based payments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Black-Scholes option-pricing model and Monte Carlo valuation model require the input of assumptions including the expected volatility of the underlying stock and the expected holding period of the option. These assumptions are based on both historical and other information. Changes in the values assumed and used in the model can materially affect the estimate of fair value.

***Credit Risk***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality and age of the accounts receivable, and the current economic conditions that may affect a customer's ability to pay. The majority of the Company's sales are to leading automotive aftermarket parts suppliers. The Company participates in trade accounts receivable discount programs with its major customers. If the creditworthiness of any of its customers was downgraded, the Company could be adversely affected, in that it may be subjected to higher interest rates on the use of these discount programs or it could be forced to wait longer for payment. In certain cases, the Company has experienced higher interest rates due to changes in customer credit profiles, which has impacted the overall cost of these financing arrangements.Should the Company's customers experience significant cash flow problems, its financial position and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and the maximum amount of loss that would be incurred would be the outstanding receivable balance, Used Cores expected to be returned by customers, and the value of the Remanufactured Cores held at customers' locations. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses that, in its opinion, provide for an adequate reserve to cover losses that may be incurred.

***Deferred Compensation Plan***

The Company has a deferred compensation plan for certain members of management. The plan allows participants to defer salary and bonuses. The assets of the plan, which are held in a trust and are subject to the claims of the Company's general creditors under federal and state laws in the event of insolvency, are recorded as short-term investments in the consolidated balance sheets. Consequently, the trust qualifies as a Rabbi trust for income tax purposes. The plan's assets consist primarily of mutual funds and are recorded at market value with any unrealized gain or loss recorded as general and administrative expense. The carrying value of plan assets were $1,881,000 and $1,837,000, and the deferred compensation liability, which is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, was $1,881,000 and $1,837,000 at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company made contributions of $36,000, $6,000 and $75,000, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company's matching contributions under its deferred compensation plan were temporarily halted through February 2024 when they were reinstated.

During the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, employee contributions of $46,000, $82,000, and $287,000, respectively, were made to the deferred compensation plan. During the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company redeemed $151,000, $603,000, and $297,000, respectively, of its short-term investments for the payment of deferred compensation liabilities.

The following summarizes the gain (loss) on the Company's equity investments:

***Comprehensive Income or Loss***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Comprehensive income or loss is defined as the change in equity during a period resulting from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company's total comprehensive income or loss consists of net unrealized income or loss from foreign currency translation adjustments.

**3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets**

*Goodwill*

The Company had goodwill of $3,205,000 at March 31, 2025 and 2024, which was comprised of $2,551,000 for the Hard Parts segment and $654,000 for all others, respectively.

*Intangible Assets*

The following is a summary of acquired intangible assets subject to amortization:

| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Less: accumulated depreciation  | &nbsp;&nbsp;(78075000) | &nbsp;&nbsp;(73283000) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Total plant and equipment**  | $&nbsp;&nbsp;31990000 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;38338000 |

---

Plant and equipment located in the foreign countries where the Company has facilities, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $27,760,000 and $33,455,000, of which $25,001,000 and $30,992,000 is located in Mexico, at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**8.** **Debt** 

The Company has $268,620,000 in senior secured financing, (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Facility") consisting of a $238,620,000 revolving loan facility (the "Revolving Facility"), subject to certain restrictions, and a $30,000,000 term loan facility (the "Term Loans"). The Term Loans were repaid during the year ended March 31, 2024. The Credit Facility matures on December 12, 2028. The lenders have a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. In June 2024, the Company enrolled in a feature with its lenders, under which the Company sweeps its cash collections to pay down its Revolving Facility and borrows on-demand to fund payments.

The Company had $90,787,000 and $128,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, $7,047,000 was outstanding for letters of credit at March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2025, after certain contractual adjustments, $135,150,000 was available under the Revolving Facility. The interest rate on the Company's Revolving Facility was 7.46% and 8.43% at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if undrawn availability is less than 22.5% of the aggregate revolving commitments and a specified minimum undrawn availability. During the period ended March 31, 2025, undrawn availability was greater than the 22.5% threshold, therefore, the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant was not required to be tested.

*Convertible Notes, Related Party*

On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement, as amended, (the "Note Purchase Agreement") with Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Bison Capital Partners VI-A, L.P. (collectively, the "Purchasers") and Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P., as the purchaser representative (the "Purchaser Representative") for the issuance and sale of $32,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due in 2029 (the "Convertible Notes"), which was used for general corporate purposes. The Convertible Notes will bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, compounded annually, and payable (i) in kind or (ii) in cash, annually in arrears on April 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2024. In April 2024, non-cash accrued interest on the Convertible Notes of $3,209,000 was paid in-kind and is included in the principal amount of Convertible Notes at March 31, 2025.

The Company's Convertible Notes are comprised of the following:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **March 31, 2025** | **March 31, 2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Convertible Notes, related party**  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Principal amount of Convertible Notes  | $&nbsp;&nbsp;35209000 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;32000000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Less: unamortized debt discount attributed to Compound Net Derivative Liability  | &nbsp;&nbsp;(6556000) | &nbsp;&nbsp;(7576000) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Less: unamortized debt discount attributed to debt issuance costs  | &nbsp;&nbsp;(916000) | &nbsp;&nbsp;(1058000) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Carrying amount of the Convertible Notes  | &nbsp;&nbsp;27737000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;23366000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Plus: Compound Net Derivative Liability  | &nbsp;&nbsp;7470000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;7410000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **Net carrying amount of Convertible Notes, related party**  | $&nbsp;&nbsp;35207000 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;30776000 |

---

The aggregate proceeds from the offering were approximately $31,280,000, net of initial purchasers' fees and other related expenses. The initial conversion rate is 66.6667 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.00 per share of common stock). At March 31, 2025, the Company had 28,240,973 shares of its common stock available to be issued if the Convertible Notes were converted.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into common stock warrants (the "Warrants") with the Purchasers, which mature on March 30, 2029. The Warrants do not become exercisable unless a Company Redemption (as defined below) occurs and the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock for 20 consecutive days prior to the redemption is less than $15.00. The fair value of the Warrants, using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model, was zero at March 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company estimates the fair value of the Warrants at each balance sheet date. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of the Warrants will be recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Convertible Notes may be converted, subject to certain conditions, at an initial conversion price of $15.00, subject to adjustment as provide in the Convertible Notes (the "Conversion Option"). The Convertible Notes also include a provision for a return of interest ("Return of Interest"), which requires the Purchasers to return 15.0% of the interest paid to the Company in certain circumstances, subject to reduction of the Return of Interest amount in the event that the Return of Interest amount would result in total payments to the Purchasers of less than two times the original principal amount. The Return of Interest provision is accounted for as part of the Conversion Option and if the Conversion Option is exercised in the future, the Return of Interest provision will remain outstanding until the Purchaser sells all of the underlying stock received upon conversion. Upon conversion, any value associated with the Return of Interest provision will be reflected as a derivative asset upon conversion, with changes in fair value being recorded in earnings in the consolidated statements of operations until settlement in connection with the sale of the underlying stock by the Purchaser. Unless and until the Company delivers a redemption notice, the Purchasers of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their option. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes will be settled in shares of the Company's common stock. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to customary adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events. The Convertible Notes have a stated maturity of March 30, 2029, subject to earlier conversion or redemption in accordance with their terms.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

If there is a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the Form of Convertible Promissory Note, the Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes. Except in the case of the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to March 31, 2026. After March 31, 2026, the Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes for a cash purchase (the "Company Redemption") price equal to the Redemption Price (as defined below) plus $5,000,000, but only if (i) it is listed on a national exchange, (ii) there is no "Event of Default" occurring and continuing, and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA for the prior four quarters is greater than $80,000,000. The "Redemption Price" shall mean a cash amount equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest. However, if the volume weighted average price of the Company's common stock for 20 consecutive days prior to the notice of the Company Redemption is less than $15, the Purchasers may exercise the warrants and the Company will pay the Redemption Price plus $2,000,000.

The Conversion Option and the Company Redemption both met the criteria for bifurcation from the Convertible Notes as derivatives and have been combined as a compound net derivative liability (the "Compound Net Derivative Liability"). The Compound Net Derivative Liability has been recorded within convertible note, related party in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Conversion Option and the Company Redemption option using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model was a liability of $9,000,000 and $9,800,000, and an asset of $1,530,000 and $2,390,000 at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability at each balance sheet date. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability is recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded a loss of $60,000 and a gain of $1,020,000, respectively, as the change in fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability in the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash flows.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Convertible Notes also contain additional features, such as, default interest and options related to a Fundamental Transaction, requiring bifurcation which were not separately accounted for as the value of such features were not material at March 31, 2025 and 2024. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of those features is recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Convertible Notes include customary provisions relating to the occurrence of Events of Default, which include the following: (i) certain payment defaults on the Convertible Notes; (ii) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) the entering of one or more final judgments or orders against the Company or any of its subsidiaries for an aggregate payment exceeding $25,000,000; (iv) the acceleration of senior debt or any other debt greater than $25,000,000; (v) certain failures of the Company to comply with certain provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement or material breaches of the Note Purchase Agreement by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (vi) any material provision of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, the guarantee, the subordination agreement, the Warrants or the registration rights agreement, for any reason, ceases to be valid and binding on the Company or any subsidiary, or any subsidiary shall so claim in writing to challenge the validity of or the Company's liability under the Note Purchase Agreement, the Convertible Notes, or the registration rights agreement; or (vii) the Company fails to maintain the listing of its capital stock on a national securities exchange. Events of Default will be subject to a 30-day cure period except for those related to clause (ii) and (iv) of the preceding sentence.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, then, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Purchasers within 5 business days of first learning of such Event of Default. If an Event of Default involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization events with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to its significant subsidiary) occurs, then the principal amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Convertible Notes then outstanding will immediately become due and payable without any further action.

Unamortized debt issuance costs of $916,000 and $1,058,000 are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amounts of the Convertible Notes at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Debt issuance costs are amortized using the effective interest method through the maturity of the Convertible Note and recorded in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. The effective interest rate was 18.3% as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Debt issuance costs of $360,000 allocated to the Compound Net Derivative Liability were immediately expensed to interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2023.

Additionally, pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, subject to certain conditions, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right to nominate one director to serve (the "Investor Director") on the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). If an Investor Director is not currently serving on the Board, and subject to certain other conditions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser Representative shall have the right to designate one person to have observation rights with respect to all meetings of the Board. In connection with the Company's entry into the Note Purchase Agreement, Douglas Trussler was appointed to serve on its Board.

There are no future payments required under the Convertible Notes prior to their maturity, therefore, the principal amount of the notes plus interest payable in-kind, assuming no early redemption or conversion has occurred, of $56,704,000 would be paid on March 30, 2029.

The Company also has finance leases for certain office and manufacturing equipment, which generally range from three to five years. The Company has material non-functional currency leases, which resulted in a remeasurement loss of $11,713,000 and remeasurement gains of $5,187,000 and $6,515,000 during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. These remeasurement losses and gains are included in foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the consolidated statements of operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company ceased manufacturing operations at its Torrance, California facility as a part of its on-going strategy to utilize its global footprint to enhance its operating efficiencies. This represented a significant change to the use of this right-of-use asset, which required a reassessment of the Company's asset groups. The Company concluded that this right-of-use asset was no longer part of the Hard Parts asset group. The Company performed a test for recoverability (using Level 3 inputs) which resulted in no impairment at March 31, 2025. Any future changes to the assumptions and estimates from those anticipated may affect the carrying value of right-of-use assets and could result in impairment charges.

Balance sheet information for leases is comprised of the following:

**11. Accounts Receivable Discount Programs**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company uses accounts receivable discount programs offered by certain customers and their respective banks. Under these accounts receivable discount programs, the Company may sell those customers' receivables to those banks at a discount to be agreed upon at the time the receivables are sold. These accounts receivable discount programs allow the Company to accelerate receipt of payment on customers' receivables.

**12. Supplier Finance Programs**

The Company utilizes a supplier finance program, which allows certain of the Company's suppliers to sell their receivables due from the Company to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institutions. The program is administered by a third party. Commitments from participating financial institutions that are available to suppliers under this program increased to $30,000,000 from $15,000,000 during the year ended March 31, 2025. The Company has no economic interest in the sale of these receivables and no direct relationship with the financial institution. Payments to the third-party administrator are based on services rendered and are not related to the volume or number of financing agreements between suppliers, financial institution, and the third-party administrator. The Company is not a party to agreements negotiated between participating suppliers and the financial institution. The Company's obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and payment terms, are not affected by a supplier's decision to participate in this program. The Company does not provide guarantees and there are no assets pledged to the financial institution or the third-party administrator for the committed payment in connection with this program. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had $33,661,000 and $1,695,000, respectively, of outstanding supplier obligations confirmed as valid under this program, included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheet.

The following is a summary of the changes in outstanding supplier obligations confirmed as valid under this program:

**13. Financial Risk Management and Derivatives**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Purchases and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which are primarily related to the Company's facilities overseas, expose the Company to market risk from material movements in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies. The Company's primary risk exposure is from fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso and to a lesser extent, the Chinese yuan. To mitigate these risks, the Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to exchange U.S. dollars for these foreign currencies. The extent to which forward foreign currency exchange contracts are used is modified periodically in response to the Company's estimate of market conditions and the terms and length of anticipated requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and not to engage in currency speculation. The use of derivative financial instruments allows the Company to reduce its exposure to the risk that the eventual cash outflow resulting from funding the expenses of the foreign operations will be materially affected by changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are designated for forecasted expenditure requirements to fund foreign operations.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

The Company had forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of $45,921,000 and $54,092,000 at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These contracts generally have a term of one year or less, at rates agreed at the inception of the contracts. The counterparty to this derivative transaction is a major financial institution with investment grade credit rating; however, the Company is exposed to credit risk with this institution. The credit risk is limited to the potential unrealized gains (which offset currency fluctuations adverse to the Company) in any such contract should this counterparty fail to perform as contracted. Any changes in the fair values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included in foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the consolidated statements of operations.

The following shows the effect of the Company's derivative instruments on its consolidated statements of operations:

---

The changes in the fair values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included in foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. The fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts of $1,663,000 is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2025. The fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts of $2,516,000 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024.

**14. Fair Value Measurements**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company uses a three-tier valuation hierarchy based upon observable and unobservable inputs:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**•** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**•** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**•** &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Level 3 — Valuation is based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular item to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, including the consideration of inputs specific to the asset or liability.

***Short-term Investments and Deferred Compensation***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company's short-term investments, which fund its deferred compensation liabilities, consist of investments in mutual funds. These investments are classified as Level 1 as the shares of these mutual funds trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable the Company to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.

***Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are primarily measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers (See Note 13).

***Compound Net Derivative Liability***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company estimates the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability (see Note 8) using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model at the balance sheet date. The Monte Carlo simulation model requires the input of assumptions including the expected volatility of the underlying stock. These assumptions are based on both historical and other information. Changes in the values assumed and used in the model can materially affect the estimate of fair value. This amount is recorded within convertible notes, related party in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2025 and 2024. Any changes in the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability are recorded in change in fair value of compound net derivative liability in the consolidated statements of operations and in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **March 31, 2025** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **March 31, 2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Risk free interest rate  | &nbsp;&nbsp;3.91% | &nbsp;&nbsp;4.36% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cost of equity  | &nbsp;&nbsp;21.30% | &nbsp;&nbsp;23.20% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Weighted average cost of capital  | &nbsp;&nbsp;14.90% | &nbsp;&nbsp;14.90% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Expected volatility of MPA common stock  | &nbsp;&nbsp;40.00% | &nbsp;&nbsp;50.00% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; EBITDA volatility  | &nbsp;&nbsp;45.00% | &nbsp;&nbsp;40.00% |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the revolving loan and other long-term liabilities approximate their fair value based on the variable nature of interest rates and current rates for instruments with similar characteristics. At March 31, 2025 and 2024, the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes was $35,207,000 and $30,776,000, respectively, (see Note 8). The estimated fair value of the Company's Convertible Notes was $42,398,000 and $38,276,000 using Level 3 inputs at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**15. Commitments and Contingencies**

***Warranty Returns***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company allows its customers to return goods that their consumers have returned to them, whether or not the returned item is defective ("warranty returns"). The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty returns based on a historical analysis of the level of this type of return as a percentage of total unit sales. Amounts charged to expense for these warranty returns are considered in arriving at the Company's net sales.

The following summarizes the changes in the warranty return accrual:

***Commitments to Provide Marketing Allowances under Long-Term Customer Contracts***

The Company has or is renegotiating long-term agreements with many of its major customers. Under these agreements, which in most cases have initial terms of at least four years, the Company is designated as the exclusive or primary supplier for specified categories of the Company's products. Because of the very competitive nature of the market and the limited number of customers for these products, the Company's customers have sought and obtained price concessions, significant marketing allowances, and more favorable delivery and payment terms in consideration for the Company's designation as a customer's exclusive or primary supplier. These incentives differ from contract to contract and can include (i) the issuance of a specified amount of credits against receivables in accordance with a schedule set forth in the relevant contract, (ii) support for a particular customer's research or marketing efforts provided on a scheduled basis, (iii) discounts granted in connection with each individual shipment of product, and (iv) other marketing, research, store expansion or product development support.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The marketing and other allowances the Company typically grants its customers in connection with its new or expanded customer relationships adversely impact the near-term revenues, profitability, and associated cash flows from these arrangements. Such allowances include sales incentives and concessions and typically consist of: (i) allowances which may only be applied against future purchases and are recorded as a reduction to revenues in accordance with a schedule set forth in the long-term contract, (ii) allowances related to a single exchange of product that are recorded as a reduction of revenues at the time the related revenues are recorded or when such incentives are offered, and (iii) amortization of core premiums paid to customers generally in connection with new business.

The following summarizes the breakout of marketing allowances discussed above, recorded as a reduction to revenues:

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company's ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company's provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets. The Company makes these estimates and judgments about its future taxable income that are based on assumptions that are consistent with the Company's future plans. A valuation allowance is established when the Company believes it is not more likely than not all or some deferred tax assets will be realized. In evaluating the Company's ability to recover deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction in which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, past financial performance, and tax planning strategies. The net increase in the valuation allowance was $6,834,000 during the year ended March 31, 2025. This net increase in the valuation allowance is primarily due to the increase in the Company's U.S. federal and various state deferred tax assets and the establishment of a valuation allowance on one of its Mexican subsidiaries partially offset by the reversal of the valuation allowance of one of its Canadian subsidiary's deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor its position in future periods. Should the actual amount differ from the Company's estimates, the amount of any valuation allowance could be impacted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the primary components of the Company's income tax expense were (i) federal income taxes, (ii) state income taxes, (iii) change in realizable deferred tax items, (iv) foreign income taxed at rates that are different from the federal statutory rate, and (v) impact of the non-deductible executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). In addition, for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company's income tax expense included the impact of an excess tax benefit from share-based compensation.

The difference between the income tax expense at the federal statutory rate and the Company's effective tax rate is as follows:

***Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock (collectively "RSUs")***

During the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 the Company granted 453,453, 100,624, and 229,121, respectively, of time-based vesting restricted stock units, based on the closing market price on the grant date. During the year ended March 31, 2023, the Company also granted performance-based restricted stock awards which had a threshold performance level of 33,333 shares, a target performance level of 66,667 shares, and a maximum performance level of 100,000 shares at the grant date. The estimated grant date fair value of the RSUs of $2,984,000, $800,000, and $4,430,000, for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, was based on the closing market price on the date of grant. The fair value related to these awards is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. These awards generally vest in three equal installments beginning each anniversary from the grant date, subject to continued employment. Upon vesting, these awards may be net share settled to cover the required withholding tax with the remaining amount converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock. Total shares withheld during the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were 19,761, 42,720, and 74,854, respectively, based on the value of these awards as determined by the Company's closing stock price on the vesting date.

The following is a summary of non-vested RSUs:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Number of<br>Shares** | **Weighted Average<br>Grant Date Fair<br>Value** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Outstanding at March 31, 2024  | 240923 | $12.23 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Granted  | 453453 | $6.58 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Vested  | (184850) | $12.02 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Forfeited/Cancelled  | (4153) | $8.81 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Outstanding at March 31, 2025  | 505373 | $7.26 |

---

As of March 31, 2025, there was $2,298,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards, which will be recognized over the remaining vesting period of approximately 2.0 years.

***Performance Stock Units ("PSUs")***

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted 258,983 PSUs (at target performance levels), which cliff vest after a three-year performance period, subject to continued employment. The number of shares earned at the end of the three-year performance period will vary, based only on actual performance, from 0% to 150% of the target number of PSUs granted depending on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") percentile rank relative to that of a peer group over the performance period. TSR is measured based on a comparison of the closing price on the first trading day of the performance period and the average closing price over the last 30 trading days of the performance period. TSR is considered a market condition because it measures the Company's return against the performance of the Russell 3000, excluding companies classified as financials and real estate and companies with a market capitalization of more than $600 million, over a given period of time. Compensation cost is determined at the grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period to the extent the conditions are deemed probable. Compensation cost related to the TSR award will not be adjusted even if the market condition is not met.

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted 585,583 PSUs, which vest, subject to continued employment, as follows: (i) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $10.00 per share, then 1/3 of the grant will vest, (ii) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share then the next 1/3 of the grant will vest, and (iii) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $20.00 per share then the final 1/3 of the grant will vest. Recipients are eligible to vest in between 50% and 150% of the third tranche by achieving a stock price between $17.50 and $25.00 per share (each stock price target must be met for thirty consecutive trading days). The Company calculated the fair value of these PSUs individually for each tranche using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model at the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized over the estimated derived service period. Compensation cost related to these awards will not be adjusted even if the market condition is not met.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

During the years ended March 31, 2023, the Company granted 126,028 of performance-based PSUs (at target performance levels), respectively, to its executives, which typically cliff vest after three-years subject to continued employment. These awards are contingent and granted separately for each of the following metrics: adjusted EBITDA, net sales, and relative TSR. Compensation cost is determined at the grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period to the extent the conditions are deemed probable. The number of shares earned at the end of the three-year period will vary, based only on actual performance, from 0% to 150% of the target number of PSUs granted. Adjusted EBITDA and net sales are considered performance conditions. The Company will reassess the probability of achieving each performance condition separately each reporting period. TSR is considered a market condition because it measures the Company's return against the performance of the Russell 3000, excluding companies classified as financials and real estate, over a given period of time. Compensation cost related to the TSR award will not be adjusted even if the market condition is not met. The Company calculated the fair value of the PSUs for each component individually.

The fair value of PSUs subject to performance conditions is equal to the closing stock price on the grant date. The fair value of PSUs subject to a market condition is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the awards subject to market conditions:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Year Ended March 31,** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Year Ended March 31,** | &nbsp;&nbsp; **Year Ended March 31,** |

| Average correlation coefficient of peer companies  | &nbsp;&nbsp; 16.5-17.4% | &nbsp;&nbsp; - | &nbsp;&nbsp;27.50 |
| Expected dividend yield  | &nbsp;&nbsp; - | &nbsp;&nbsp; - | &nbsp;&nbsp; - |
| Grant date fair value  | $&nbsp;&nbsp; 8.65-8.88 | $&nbsp;&nbsp; 3.57-8.37 | $&nbsp;&nbsp;16.02 |

---

Upon vesting, these awards may be net share settled to cover the required withholding tax with the remaining amount converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock. Total shares withheld during the year ended March 31, 2025 were 75,491, based on the value of these awards as determined by the Company's closing stock price on the vesting date. No shares were withheld during the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 since no PSUs were vested during those years.

The following is a summary of non-vested PSUs:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Number of<br>Shares** | **Weighted Average<br>Grant Date Fair<br>Value** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Outstanding at March 31, 2024  | 773923 | $7.73 |

(1) Granted includes 10,952 additional PSUs issued in connection with the vesting of the Company's June 2021 PSU grant based on actual Company performance metrics excding target performance levels.

At March 31, 2025, there was $1,872,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 2.1 years.

**20. Segment Information**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company has identified its Chief Executive Officer as its chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The Company has identified its operating segments based on the nature of the products the Company sells, the Company's organizational and management reporting structure, and the operating results that are regularly reviewed by the Company's CODM to make decisions about the resources to be allocated to the business units and to assess performance. The CODM primarily uses operating income to evaluate the performance of the Company's operating segments and to allocate resources.

The Company's three operating segments are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● **Hard Parts**, which includes (i) light duty rotating electric products such as alternators and starters, (ii) wheel hub products, (iii) brake-related products, including brake calipers, brake boosters, brake rotors, brake pads and brake master cylinders, and (iv) turbochargers,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● **Test Solutions and Diagnostic Equipment**, which includes (i) applications for combustion engine vehicles, including bench-top testers for alternators and starters, (ii) equipment for the pre- and post-production of electric vehicles, and (iii) software emulation of power system applications for the electrification of all forms of transportation (including automobiles, trucks, the emerging electrification of systems within the aerospace industry, and electric vehicle charging stations), and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● **Heavy Duty**, which includes non-discretionary automotive aftermarket replacement hard parts for heavy-duty truck, industrial, marine, and agricultural applications.

**21. Share Repurchase Program**

In August 2018, the Company's board of directors approved an increase in its share repurchase program from $20,000,000 to $37,000,000 of its common stock. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 542,134 shares of its common stock for $4,832,000. During the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. As of March 31, 2025, $23,577,000 was utilized and $13,423,000 remains available to repurchase shares under the authorized share repurchase program, subject to the limit in the Company's Credit Facility and Convertible Notes. The Company retired the 1,379,141 shares repurchased under this program through March 31, 2025. The Company's share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares and shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents1)

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company adopted a written trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the SEC rule to facilitate share repurchases under its current authorized program. The adoption of a 10b5-1 plan allows the Company the ability to repurchase shares when it would be ordinarily restricted from purchases due to blackout periods or being in possession of material non-public information.

**22. Related Party Transactions**

*Lease*

In December 2022, the Company entered into an operating lease for its 35,000 square foot manufacturing, warehouse, and office facility in Ontario, Canada, with a company co-owned by a member of management. The lease, which commenced January 1, 2023, has an initial term of one year with a base rent of approximately $27,000 per month and includes options to renew for up to four years. In November 2023, the Company exercised one of these options to renew for an additional one-year period. In February 2025, the Company exercised a second extension term for an additional three-year period with a base rent of approximately $30,000 per month, which took effect on January 1, 2025.The rent expense recorded for the related party lease was $332,000, $328,000 and $82,000 for the years ended March 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

*Convertible Note and Election of New Director*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Bison Capital Partners VI-A, L.P., and Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P. as the Purchaser Representative, for the issuance and sale of the Convertible Notes. In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes and at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board and in connection with the bylaws of the Company, the Board appointed Douglas Trussler, a co-founder of Bison Capital in 2001, to the Board. Mr. Trussler's compensation is consistent with the Company's previously disclosed standard compensation practices for non-employee directors, other than Mr. Trussler does not accept the annual grant of equity to non-employee directors, which are described in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement, filed with the SEC on July 26, 2024. There are no other transactions between Mr. Trussler and the Company that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

**MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA, INC.**

 **INSIDER TRADING COMPLIANCE POLICY**

I. <u>SUMMARY</u>

Preventing insider trading is necessary to comply with securities laws and to preserve the reputation and integrity of Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (the "Company") as well as that of all persons affiliated with the Company. "Insider trading" occurs when any person purchases or sells a security while in possession of inside information relating to the security. As explained in Section III below, "inside information" is information that is both "material" and "non-public." Insider trading is a crime. The penalties for violating insider trading laws include imprisonment, disgorgement of profits, civil fines, and criminal fines of up to $5 million for individuals and $25 million for corporations. Insider trading is also prohibited by this Insider Trading Compliance Policy (this "Policy"), and violation of this Policy may result in Company-imposed sanctions, including removal or dismissal for cause.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This Policy applies to all officers, directors and employees of the Company. Individuals subject to this Policy are responsible for ensuring that members of their households also comply with this Policy. This Policy also applies to any entities controlled by individuals subject to the Policy, including any corporations, partnerships or trusts, and transactions by these entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for the individual's own account. This Policy extends to all activities within and outside an individual's Company duties. Every officer, director and employee must review this Policy. Questions regarding the Policy should be directed to the Company's General Counsel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This Policy is intended to incorporate by reference and supplement the provisions regarding insider trading in the Company's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

II. <u>STATEMENT OF POLICIES PROHIBITING INSIDER TRADING</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No officer, director or employee shall purchase or sell any type of security while in possession of material, non-public information relating to the security, whether the issuer of such security is the Company or any other company.

**Additionally, none of the Company's board of directors, named officers or employees listed on <u>Schedule I</u> (as amended from time to time) shall purchase or sell any security of the Company during the period beginning the first calendar day after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company and ending upon completion of the first full trading day after the public release of earnings data for such fiscal quarter or during any other trading suspension period declared by the Company.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; These prohibitions do not apply to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• purchases of the Company's securities from the Company or sales of the Company's securities to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• exercises of stock options or other equity awards or the surrender of shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price or in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement, or vesting of equity-based awards, that in each case do not involve a market sale of the Company's securities (the "cashless exercise" of a Company stock option through a broker does involve a market sale of the Company's securities, and therefore would not qualify under this exception);

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• bona fide gifts of the Company's securities; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• purchases or sales of the Company's securities made pursuant to any binding contract, specific instruction or written plan entered into while the purchaser or seller, as applicable, was unaware of any material, non-public information and which contract, instruction or plan (i) meets all requirements of the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1 ("Rule 10b5-1") promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), (ii) was pre- cleared in advance pursuant to this Policy and (iii) has not been amended or modified in any respect after such initial pre-clearance without such amendment or modification being pre-cleared in advance pursuant to this Policy. For more information about Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, see Section VI below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No officer, director or employee shall directly or indirectly communicate (or "tip") material, non-public information to anyone outside the Company (except in accordance with the Company's policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of Company information) or to anyone within the Company other than on a need-to-know basis.

III. <u>EXPLANATION OF INSIDER TRADING</u>

*"Insider trading"* refers to the purchase or sale of a security while in possession of "material," "non-public" information relating to the security.

*"Securities"* includes stocks, bonds, notes, debentures, options, warrants and other convertible securities, as well as derivative instruments.

*"Purchase"* and *"sale"* are defined broadly under the federal securities law. *"Purchase"* includes not only the actual purchase of a security, but any contract to purchase or otherwise acquire a security. *"Sale"* includes not only the actual sale of a security, but any contract to sell or otherwise dispose of a security. These definitions extend to a broad range of transactions, including conventional cash-for-stock transactions, conversions, the exercise of stock options, and acquisitions and exercises of warrants or puts, calls or other derivative securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is generally understood that insider trading includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Trading by insiders while in possession of material, non-public information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Trading by persons other than insiders while in possession of material, non-public information, if the information either was given in breach of an insider's fiduciary duty to keep it confidential or was misappropriated; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Communicating or tipping material, non-public information to others, including recommending the purchase or sale of a security while in possession of such information.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. <u>What Facts are Material?</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The materiality of a fact depends upon the circumstances. A fact is considered "material" if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in making a decision to buy, sell or hold a security, or if the fact is likely to have a significant effect on the market price of the security. Material information can be positive or negative and can relate to virtually any aspect of a company's business or to any type of security, debt or equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Examples of material information include (but are not limited to) information about dividends; corporate earnings or earnings forecasts; possible mergers, acquisitions, tender offers or dispositions; major new products or product developments; important business developments such as major contract awards or cancellations, trial results, developments regarding strategic collaborators or the status of regulatory submissions; management or control changes; significant borrowing or financing developments including pending public sales or offerings of debt or equity securities; defaults on borrowings; bankruptcies; and significant litigation or regulatory actions. Moreover, material information does not have to be related to a company's business. For example, the contents of a forthcoming newspaper column that is expected to affect the market price of a security can be material.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A good general rule of thumb: **When in doubt, do not trade.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. <u>What is Non-public?</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Information is "non-public" if it is not available to the general public. In order for information to be considered public, it must be widely disseminated in a manner making it generally available to investors through such media as <u>Dow Jones,</u> <u>Business Wire,</u> <u>Reuters,</u> <u>The</u> <u>Wall Street Journal,</u> <u>Associated Press,</u> or <u>United Press International,</u> a broadcast on widely available radio or television programs, publication in a widely available newspaper, magazine or news web site, a Regulation FD-compliant conference call, or public disclosure documents filed with the SEC that are available on the SEC's web site.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The circulation of rumors, even if accurate and reported in the media, does not constitute effective public dissemination. In addition, even after a public announcement, a reasonable period of time must lapse in order for the market to react to the information. Generally, one should allow two full trading days following publication as a reasonable waiting period before such information is deemed to be public.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. <u>Who is an Insider?</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "Insiders" include officers, directors and employees of a company and anyone else who has material inside information about a company. Insiders have independent fiduciary duties to their company and its stockholders not to trade on material, non-public information relating to the company's securities. All officers, directors and employees of the Company should consider themselves insiders with respect to material, non-public information about the Company's business, activities and securities. Officers, directors and employees may not trade in the Company's securities while in possession of material, non-public information relating to the Company, nor may they tip such information to anyone outside the Company (except in accordance with the Company's policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of Company information) or to anyone within the Company other than on a need-to- know basis.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Individuals subject to this Policy are responsible for ensuring that members of their households also comply with this Policy. This Policy also applies to any entities controlled by individuals subject to the Policy, including any corporations, partnerships or trusts, and transactions by these entities should be treated for the purposes of this Policy and applicable securities laws as if they were for the individual's own account.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. <u>Trading by Persons Other than Insiders</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Insiders may be liable for communicating or tipping material, non-public information to a third party ("tippee"), and insider trading violations are not limited to trading or tipping by insiders. Persons other than insiders also can be liable for insider trading, including tippees who trade on material, non-public information tipped to them or individuals who trade on material, non-public information that has been misappropriated.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Tippees inherit an insider's duties and are liable for trading on material, non-public information illegally tipped to them by an insider. Similarly, just as insiders are liable for the insider trading of their tippees, so are tippees who pass the information along to others who trade. In other words, a tippee's liability for insider trading is no different from that of an insider. Tippees can obtain material, non-public information by receiving overt tips from others or through, among other things, conversations at social, business, or other gatherings.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. <u>Penalties for Engaging in Insider Trading</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Penalties for trading on or tipping material, non-public information can extend significantly beyond any profits made or losses avoided, both for individuals engaging in such unlawful conduct and their employers. The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and Department of Justice have made the civil and criminal prosecution of insider trading violations a top priority. Enforcement remedies available to the government or private plaintiffs under the federal securities laws include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• SEC administrative sanctions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Securities industry self-regulatory organization sanctions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Civil injunctions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Damage awards to private plaintiffs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Disgorgement of all profits;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Civil fines for the violator of up to three times the amount of profit gained or loss avoided;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Civil fines for the employer or other controlling person of a violator (i.e., where the violator is an employee or other controlled person) of up to the greater of $1,425,000 or three times the amount of profit gained or loss avoided by the violator;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Criminal fines for individual violators of up to $5,000,000 ($25,000,000 for an entity); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Jail sentences of up to 20 years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In addition, insider trading could result in serious sanctions by the Company, including dismissal. Insider trading violations are not limited to violations of the federal securities laws. Other federal and state civil or criminal laws, such as the laws prohibiting mail and wire fraud and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), also may be violated in connection with insider trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; F. <u>Size of Transaction and Reason for Transaction Do Not Matter</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The size of the transaction or the amount of profit received does not have to be significant to result in prosecution. The SEC has the ability to monitor even the smallest trades, and the SEC performs routine market surveillance. Brokers or dealers are required by law to inform the SEC of any possible violations by people who may have material, non-public information. The SEC aggressively investigates even small insider trading violations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; G. <u>Examples of Insider Trading</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Examples of insider trading cases include actions brought against corporate officers, directors, and employees who traded in a company's securities after learning of significant confidential corporate developments; friends, business associates, family members and other tippees of such officers, directors, and employees who traded in the securities after receiving such information; government employees who learned of such information in the course of their employment; and other persons who misappropriated, and took advantage of, confidential information from their employers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The following are illustrations of insider trading violations. These illustrations are hypothetical and, consequently, not intended to reflect on the actual activities or business of the Company or any other entity.

<u>Trading by Insider</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An officer of X Corporation learns that earnings to be reported by X Corporation will increase dramatically. Prior to the public announcement of such earnings, the officer purchases X Corporation's stock. The officer, an insider, is liable for all profits as well as penalties of up to three times the amount of all profits. The officer also is subject to, among other things, criminal prosecution, including up to $5,000,000 in additional fines and 20 years in jail. Depending upon the circumstances, X Corporation and the individual to whom the officer reports also could be liable as controlling persons.

<u>Trading by Tippee</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An officer of X Corporation tells a friend that X Corporation is about to publicly announce that it has concluded an agreement for a major acquisition. This tip causes the friend to purchase X Corporation's stock in advance of the announcement. The officer is jointly liable with his friend for all of the friend's profits, and each is liable for all civil penalties of up to three times the amount of the friend's profits. The officer and his friend are also subject to criminal prosecution and other remedies and sanctions, as described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Section 13(b)(2) of the 1934 Act requires companies subject to the Act to maintain proper internal books and records and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. The SEC has supplemented the statutory requirements by adopting rules that prohibit (1) any person from falsifying records or accounts subject to the above requirements and (2) officers or directors from making any materially false, misleading, or incomplete statement to any accountant in connection with any audit or filing with the SEC. These provisions reflect the SEC's intent to discourage officers, directors and other persons with access to the Company's books and records from taking action that might result in the communication of materially misleading financial information to the investing public.

IV. <u>STATEMENT OF PROCEDURES PREVENTING INSIDER TRADING</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The following procedures have been established, and will be maintained and enforced, by the Company to prevent insider trading. Every officer, director and employee is required to follow these procedures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A.

<u>Pre-Clearance of All Trades by the Board of Directors, Named Officers and Key Employees</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; To provide assistance in preventing inadvertent violations of applicable securities laws and to avoid the appearance of impropriety in connection with the purchase and sale of the Company's securities, **all transactions in the Company's securities (including without limitation, acquisitions and dispositions of Company stock, the exercise of stock options and the sale of Company stock issued upon exercise of stock options) by the Company's board of directors, named officers, VPs, directors and managers listed on <u>Schedule II</u> (as amended from time to time) each, a "Pre-Clearance Person") must be pre-cleared** by the Company's General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer. Pre-clearance does not relieve anyone of his or her responsibility under SEC rules.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A request for pre-clearance may be oral or in writing (including by e-mail), should be made at least two business days in advance of the proposed transaction and should include the identity of the Pre-Clearance Person, the type of proposed transaction (for example, an open market purchase, a privately negotiated sale, an option exercise, etc.), the proposed date of the transaction and the number of shares or other securities to be involved. In addition, the Pre- Clearance Person must execute a certification (in the form approved by the General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer) that he or she is not aware of material nonpublic information about the Company. The General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer shall have sole discretion to decide whether to clear any contemplated transaction. (The General Counsel or Chief Executive Officer shall have sole discretion to decide whether to clear transactions by the General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer or persons or entities subject to this policy as a result of their relationship with the General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer.) All trades that are pre-cleared must be effected within five business days of receipt of the pre-clearance unless a specific exception has been granted by the General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer. A pre-cleared trade (or any portion of a pre-cleared trade) that has not been effected during the five business day period must be pre- cleared again prior to execution. Notwithstanding receipt of pre-clearance, if the Pre-Clearance Person becomes aware of material non-public information or becomes subject to a black-out period before the transaction is effected, the transaction may not be completed.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; None of the Company, the General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer or the Company's other employees will have any liability for any delay in reviewing, or refusal of, a request for pre-clearance submitted pursuant to this Section IV.A. Notwithstanding any pre-clearance of a transaction pursuant to this Section IV.A, none of the Company, the General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer or the Company's other employees assumes any liability for the legality or consequences of such transaction to the person engaging in such transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B.

<u>Black-Out Periods</u>

**Additionally, none of the Company's board of directors, named officers or employees listed on <u>Schedule I</u> (as amended from time to time) shall purchase or sell any security of the Company during the period beginning the first calendar day after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company and ending upon completion of the first full trading day after the public release of earnings data for such fiscal quarter or during any other trading suspension period declared by the Company,** except for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; purchases of the Company's securities from the Company or sales of the Company's securities to the Company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; exercises of stock options or other equity awards the surrender of shares to the Company in payment of the exercise price or in satisfaction of any tax withholding obligations in a manner permitted by the applicable equity award agreement, or vesting of equity-based awards that do not involve a market sale of the Company's securities (the "cashless exercise" of a Company stock option through a broker <u>does</u> involve a market sale of the Company's securities, and therefore would not qualify under this exception);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• *bona fide* gifts of the Company's securities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; purchases or sales of the Company's securities made pursuant to any binding contract, specific instruction or written plan entered into while the purchaser or seller, as applicable, was unaware of any material, non-public information and which contract, instruction or plan (i) meets all requirements of the affirmative defense provided by Rule 10b5-1, (ii) was pre-cleared in advance pursuant to this Policy and (iii) has not been amended or modified in any respect after such initial pre-clearance without such amendment or modification being pre-cleared in advance pursuant to this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Exceptions to the black-out period policy may be approved only by the Company's General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer or, in the case of exceptions for directors, the Board of Directors or Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

------

From time to time, the Company, through the Board of Directors, the Company's General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer, may recommend that officers, directors, employees or others suspend trading in the Company's securities because of developments that have not yet been disclosed to the public. Subject to the exceptions noted above, all those affected should not trade in our securities while the suspension is in effect, and should not disclose to others that we have suspended trading.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. <u>Information Relating to the Company</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Access to Information</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Access to material, non-public information about the Company, including the Company's business, earnings or prospects, should be limited to officers, directors and employees of the Company on a need-to-know basis. In addition, such information should not be communicated to anyone outside the Company under any circumstances (except in accordance with the Company's policies regarding the protection or authorized external disclosure of Company information) or to anyone within the Company on an other than need-to-know basis.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In communicating material, non-public information to employees of the Company, all officers, directors and employees must take care to emphasize the need for confidential treatment of such information and adherence to the Company's policies with regard to confidential information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Inquiries From Third Parties</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Inquiries from third parties, such as industry analysts or members of the media, about the Company should be directed to the General Counsel at (310) 212-7910.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. <u>Limitations on Access to Company Information</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The following procedures are designed to maintain confidentiality with respect to the Company's business operations and activities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; All officers, directors and employees should take all steps and precautions necessary to restrict access to, and secure, material, non-public information by, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Maintaining the confidentiality of Company-related transactions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Conducting their business and social activities so as not to risk inadvertent disclosure of confidential information. Review of confidential documents in public places should be conducted so as to prevent access by unauthorized persons;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Restricting access to documents and files (including computer files) containing material, non-public information to individuals on a need-to-know basis (including maintaining control over the distribution of documents and drafts of documents);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Promptly removing and cleaning up all confidential documents and other materials from conference rooms following the conclusion of any meetings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Disposing of all confidential documents and other papers, after there is no longer any business or other legally required need, through shredders when appropriate;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Restricting access to areas likely to contain confidential documents or material, non-public information;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Safeguarding laptop computers, tablets, memory sticks, CDs and other items that contain confidential information; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Avoiding the discussion of material, non-public information in places where the information could be overheard by others such as in elevators, restrooms, hallways, restaurants, airplanes or taxicabs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Personnel involved with material, non-public information, to the extent feasible, should conduct their business and activities in areas separate from other Company activities.

V. <u>ADDITIONAL PROHIBITED TRANSACTIONS</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company has determined that there is a heightened legal risk and/or the appearance of improper or inappropriate conduct if the persons subject to this Policy engage in certain types of transactions. Therefore, officers, directors and employees shall comply with the following policies with respect to certain transactions in the Company securities:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A. <u>Short Sales</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Short sales of the Company's securities evidence an expectation on the part of the seller that the securities will decline in value, and therefore signal to the market that the seller has no confidence in the Company or its short-term prospects. In addition, short sales may reduce the seller's incentive to improve the Company's performance. For these reasons, short sales of the Company's securities are prohibited by this Policy. In addition, as noted below, Section 16(c) of the 1934 Act absolutely prohibits Section 16 reporting persons from making short sales of the Company's equity securities, *i.e.*, sales of shares that the insider does not own at the time of sale, or sales of shares against which the insider does not deliver the shares within 20 days after the sale.

B <u>Publicly Traded Options</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A transaction in options is, in effect, a bet on the short-term movement of the Company's stock and therefore creates the appearance that an officer, director or employee is trading based on inside information. Transactions in options also may focus an officer's, director's or employee's attention on short-term performance at the expense of the Company's long-term objectives. Accordingly, transactions in puts, calls or other derivative securities involving the Company's equity securities, on an exchange or in any other organized market, are prohibited by this Policy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. <u>Hedging Transactions</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Certain forms of hedging or monetization transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, allow an officer, director or employee to lock in much of the value of his or her stock holdings, often in exchange for all or part of the potential for upside appreciation in the stock. These transactions allow the officer, director or employee to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When that occurs, the officer, director or employee may no longer have the same objectives as the Company's other stockholders. Therefore, such transactions involving the Company's equity securities are prohibited by this Policy.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;D. <u>Purchases of the Company's Securities on Margin; Pledging the Company's Securities to Secure Margin or Other Loans</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Purchasing on margin means borrowing from a brokerage firm, bank or other entity in order to purchase the Company's securities (other than in connection with a cashless exercise of stock options under the Company's equity plans). Margin purchases of the Company's securities are prohibited by this Policy. Pledging the Company's securities as collateral to secure loans is also prohibited. This prohibition means, among other things, that you cannot hold the Company's securities in a "margin account" (which would allow you to borrow against your holdings to buy securities).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;E. <u>Director and Executive Officer Cashless Exercises</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company will not arrange with brokers to administer cashless exercises on behalf of directors and executive officers of the Company. Directors and executive officers of the Company may use the cashless exercise feature of their equity awards only if (i) the director or officer retains a broker independently of the Company, (ii) the Company's involvement is limited to confirming that it will deliver the stock promptly upon payment of the exercise price and (iii) the director or officer uses a "T+3" cashless exercise arrangement, in which the Company agrees to deliver stock against the payment of the purchase price on the same day the sale of the stock underlying the equity award settles. Under a T+3 cashless exercise, a broker, the issuer, and the issuer's transfer agent work together to make all transactions settle simultaneously. This approach is to avoid any inference that the Company has "extended credit" in the form of a personal loan to the director or executive officer. Questions about cashless exercises should be directed to the General Counsel or Chief Compliance Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;F. <u>Partnership Distributions</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Nothing in this Policy is intended to limit the ability of a venture capital partnership or other similar entity with which a director is affiliated to distribute Company securities to its partners, members or other similar persons. It is the responsibility of each affected director and the affiliated entity, in consultation with their own counsel (as appropriate), to determine the timing of any distributions, based on all relevant facts and circumstances and applicable securities laws.

VI. <u>RULE 10b5-1 TRADING PLANS, SECTION 16 AND RULE 144</u>

A <u>Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Overview</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rule 10b5-1 will protect directors, officers and employees from insider trading liability under Rule 10b5-1 for transactions under a previously established contract, plan or instruction to trade in the Company's stock (a "Trading Plan") entered into in good faith and in accordance with the terms of Rule 10b5-1 and all applicable state laws and will be exempt from the trading restrictions set forth in this Policy. The initiation of, and any modification to, any such Trading Plan will be deemed to be a transaction in the Company's securities, and such initiation or modification is subject to all limitations and prohibitions relating to transactions in the Company's securities. Each such Trading Plan, and any modification thereof, must be submitted to and pre-approved by the Company's General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer, or such other person as the Board of Directors may designate from time to time (the "Authorizing Officer"), who may impose such conditions on the implementation and operation of the Trading Plan as the Authorizing Officer deems necessary or advisable. However, compliance of the Trading Plan to the terms of Rule 10b5-1 and the execution of transactions pursuant to the Trading Plan are the sole responsibility of the person initiating the Trading Plan, not the Company or the Authorizing Officer.

------

**Trading Plans do not exempt individuals from complying with Section 16 short- swing profit rules or liability.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rule 10b5-1 presents an opportunity for insiders to establish arrangements to sell (or purchase) Company stock without the restrictions of trading windows and black-out periods, even when there is undisclosed material information. A Trading Plan may also help reduce negative publicity that may result when key executives sell the Company's stock. Rule 10b5-1 only provides an "affirmative defense" in the event there is an insider trading lawsuit. It does not prevent someone from bringing a lawsuit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A director, officer or employee may enter into a Trading Plan only when he or she is not in possession of material, non-public information, and only during a trading window period outside of the trading black-out period. Although transactions effected under a Trading Plan will not require further pre-clearance at the time of the trade, any transaction (including the quantity and price) made pursuant to a Trading Plan of a Section 16 reporting person must be reported to the Company promptly on the day of each trade to permit the Company's filing coordinator to assist in the preparation and filing of a required Form 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company reserves the right from time to time to suspend, discontinue or otherwise prohibit any transaction in the Company's securities, even pursuant to a previously approved Trading Plan, if the Authorizing Officer or the Board of Directors, in its discretion, determines that such suspension, discontinuation or other prohibition is in the best interests of the Company. Any Trading Plan submitted for approval hereunder should explicitly acknowledge the Company's right to prohibit transactions in the Company's securities. Failure to discontinue purchases and sales as directed shall constitute a violation of the terms of this Section VI and result in a loss of the exemption set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Officers, directors and employees may adopt Trading Plans with brokers that outline a pre-set plan for trading of the Company's stock, including the exercise of options. Trades pursuant to a Trading Plan generally may occur at any time. However, the Company requires a cooling-off period of 30 days between the establishment of a Trading Plan and commencement of any transactions under such plan. An individual may adopt more than one Trading Plan. Please review the following description of how a Trading Plan works.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Pursuant to Rule 10b5-1, an individual's purchase or sale of securities will not be "on the basis of" material, non-public information if:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• First, before becoming aware of the information, the individual enters into a binding contract to purchase or sell the securities, provides instructions to another person to sell the securities or adopts a written plan for trading the securities (i.e., the Trading Plan).

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Second, the Trading Plan must either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• specify the amount of securities to be purchased or sold, the price at which the securities are to be purchased or sold and the date on which the securities are to be purchased or sold;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• include a written formula or computer program for determining the amount, price and date of the transactions; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• prohibit the individual from exercising any subsequent influence over the purchase or sale of the Company's stock under the Trading Plan in question.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Third, the purchase or sale must occur pursuant to the Trading Plan and the individual must not enter into a corresponding hedging transaction or alter or deviate from the Trading Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Revocation of and Amendments to Trading Plans</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Revocation of Trading Plans should occur only in unusual circumstances. Effectiveness of any revocation or amendment of a Trading Plan will be subject to the prior review and approval of the Authorizing Officer. Once a Trading Plan has been revoked, the participant should wait at least 30 days before trading outside of a Trading Plan and 180 days before establishing a new Trading Plan. You should note that revocation of a Trading Plan can result in the loss of an affirmative defense for past or future transactions under a Trading Plan. You should consult with your own legal counsel before deciding to revoke a Trading Plan. In any event, you should not assume that compliance with the 180-day bar will protect you from possible adverse legal consequences of a Trading Plan revocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A person acting in good faith may amend a prior Trading Plan so long as such amendments are made outside of a quarterly trading black-out period and at a time when the Trading Plan participant does not possess material, non-public information. Plan amendments must not take effect for at least 30 days after the plan amendments are made.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Under certain circumstances, a Trading Plan *must* be revoked. This may include circumstances such as the announcement of a merger or the occurrence of an event that would cause the transaction either to violate the law or to have an adverse effect on the Company. The Authorizing Officer or administrator of the Company's stock plans is authorized to notify the broker in such circumstances, thereby insulating the insider in the event of revocation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Discretionary Plans</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Although non-discretionary Trading Plans are preferred, discretionary Trading Plans, where the discretion or control over trading is transferred to a broker, are permitted if pre- approved by the Authorizing Officer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Authorizing Officer must pre-approve any Trading Plan, arrangement or trading instructions, etc., involving potential sales or purchases of the Company's stock or option exercises, including but not limited to, blind trusts, discretionary accounts with banks or brokers, or limit orders. The actual transactions effected pursuant to a pre-approved Trading Plan will not be subject to further pre-clearance for transactions in the Company's stock once the Trading Plan or other arrangement has been pre-approved.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. <u>Reporting (if Required)</u>

If required, an SEC Form 144 will be filled out and filed by the individual/brokerage firm in accordance with the existing rules regarding Form 144 filings. A footnote at the bottom of the Form 144 should indicate that the trades "are in accordance with a Trading Plan that complies with Rule 10b5-1 and expires ." For Section 16 reporting persons, Form 4s should be filed before the end of the second business day following the date that the broker, dealer or plan administrator informs the individual that a transaction was executed, provided that the date of such notification is not later than the third business day following the trade date. A similar footnote should be placed at the bottom of the Form 4 as outlined above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. <u>Options</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Exercises of options for cash may be executed at any time. "Cashless exercise" option exercises are subject to trading windows. However, the Company will permit same day sales under Trading Plans. If a broker is required to execute a cashless exercise in accordance with a Trading Plan, then the Company must have exercise forms attached to the Trading Plan that are signed, undated and with the number of shares to be exercised left blank. Once a broker determines that the time is right to exercise the option and dispose of the shares in accordance with the Trading Plan, the broker will notify the Company in writing and the administrator of the Company's stock plans will fill in the number of shares and the date of exercise on the previously signed exercise form. The insider should not be involved with this part of the exercise.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. <u>Trades Outside of a Trading Plan</u>

During an open trading window, trades differing from Trading Plan instructions that are already in place are allowed as long as the Trading Plan continues to be followed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. <u>Public Announcements</u>

The Company may make a public announcement that Trading Plans are being implemented in accordance with Rule 10b5-1. It will consider in each case whether a public announcement of a particular Trading Plan should be made. It may also make public announcements or respond to inquiries from the media as transactions are made under a Trading Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. <u>Prohibited Transactions</u>

The transactions prohibited under Section V of this Policy, including among others short sales and hedging transactions, may not be carried out through a Trading Plan or other arrangement or trading instruction involving potential sales or purchases of the Company's securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. <u>No Section 16 Protection</u>

The use of Trading Plans does not exempt participants from complying with the Section 16 reporting rules or liability for short-swing trades.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10.

<u>Limitation on Liability</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; None of the Company, the Authorizing Officer or the Company's other employees will have any liability for any delay in reviewing, or refusal of, a Trading Plan submitted pursuant to this Section VI.A. Notwithstanding any review of a Trading Plan pursuant to this Section VI.A, none of the Company, the Authorizing Officer or the Company's other employees assumes any liability for the legality or consequences relating to such Trading Plan to the person adopting such Trading Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B. <u>Section 16: Insider Reporting Requirements, Short-Swing Profits and Short Sales (Applicable to Officers, Directors and 10% Stockholders)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Reporting Obligations Under Section 16(a): SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Section 16(a) of the 1934 Act generally requires all officers, directors and 10% stockholders ("insiders"), within 10 days after the insider becomes an officer, director, or 10% stockholder, to file with the SEC an "Initial Statement of Beneficial Ownership of Securities" on SEC Form 3 listing the amount of the Company's stock, options and warrants which the insider beneficially owns. Following the initial filing on SEC Form 3, changes in beneficial ownership of the Company's stock, options and warrants must be reported on SEC Form 4, generally within two days after the date on which such change occurs, or in certain cases on Form 5, within 45 days after fiscal year end. The two-day Form 4 deadline begins to run from the trade date rather than the settlement date. A Form 4 must be filed even if, as a result of balancing transactions, there has been no net change in holdings. In certain situations, purchases or sales of Company stock made within six months *prior* to the filing of a Form 3 must be reported on Form 4. Similarly, certain purchases or sales of Company stock made within six months *after* an officer or director ceases to be an insider must be reported on Form 4.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Recovery of Profits Under Section 16(b)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For the purpose of preventing the unfair use of information which may have been obtained by an insider, any profits realized by any officer, director or 10% stockholder from any "purchase" and "sale" of Company stock during a six-month period, so called "short-swing profits," may be recovered by the Company. When such a purchase and sale occurs, good faith is no defense. The insider is liable even if compelled to sell for personal reasons, and even if the sale takes place after full disclosure and without the use of any inside information.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The liability of an insider under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act is only to the Company itself. The Company, however, cannot waive its right to short swing profits, and any Company stockholder can bring suit in the name of the Company. Reports of ownership filed with the SEC on Form 3, Form 4 or Form 5 pursuant to Section 16(a) (discussed above) are readily available to the public, and certain attorneys carefully monitor these reports for potential Section 16(b) violations. In addition, liabilities under Section 16(b) may require separate disclosure in the Company's annual report to the SEC on Form 10-K or its proxy statement for its annual meeting of stockholders. No suit may be brought more than two years after the date the profit was realized. However, if the insider fails to file a report of the transaction under Section 16(a), as required, the two-year limitation period does not begin to run until after the transactions giving rise to the profit have been disclosed. Failure to report transactions and late filing of reports require separate disclosure in the Company's proxy statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Officers and directors should consult the attached "Short-Swing Profit Rule Section 16(b) Checklist" attached hereto as "Attachment A" in addition to consulting the General Counsel prior to engaging in any transactions involving the Company's securities, including without limitation, the Company's stock, options or warrants.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. <u>Short Sales Prohibited Under Section 16(c)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Section 16(c) of the 1934 Act prohibits insiders absolutely from making short sales of the Company's equity securities. Short sales include sales of stock which the insider does not own at the time of sale, or sales of stock against which the insider does not deliver the shares within 20 days after the sale. Under certain circumstances, the purchase or sale of put or call options, or the writing of such options, can result in a violation of Section 16(c). Insiders violating Section 16(c) face criminal liability.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The General Counsel should be consulted if you have any questions regarding reporting obligations, short-swing profits or short sales under Section 16.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;C. <u>Rule 144 (Applicable to Officers, Directors and 10% Stockholders)</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rule 144 provides a safe harbor exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for certain resales of "restricted securities" and "control securities." "Restricted securities" are securities acquired from an issuer, or an affiliate of an issuer, in a transaction or chain of transactions not involving a public offering. "Control securities" are *any* securities owned by directors, executive officers or other "affiliates" of the issuer, including stock purchased in the open market and stock received upon exercise of stock options. Sales of Company securities by affiliates (generally, directors, officers and 10% stockholders of the Company) must comply with the requirements of Rule 144, which are summarized below:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Current Public Information. The Company must have filed all SEC-required reports during the last 12 months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Volume Limitations. Total sales of Company common stock by a covered individual for any three-month period may not exceed the greater of: (i) 1% of the total number of outstanding shares of Company common stock, as reflected in the most recent report or statement published by the Company, or (ii) the average weekly reported volume of such shares traded during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of the requisite Form 144.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Method of Sale. The shares must be sold either in a "broker's transaction" or in a transaction directly with a "market maker." A "broker's transaction" is one in which the broker does no more than execute the sale order and receive the usual and customary commission. Neither the broker nor the selling person can solicit or arrange for the sale order. In addition, the selling person or Board member must not pay any fee or commission other than to the broker. A "market maker" includes a specialist permitted to act as a dealer, a dealer acting in the position of a block positioner, and a dealer who holds himself out as being willing to buy and sell Company common stock for his own account on a regular and continuous basis.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Notice of Proposed Sale. A notice of the sale (a Form 144) must be filed with the SEC at the time of the sale. Brokers generally have internal procedures for executing sales under Rule 144 and will assist you in completing the Form 144 and in complying with the other requirements of Rule 144.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If you are subject to Rule 144, you must instruct your broker who handles trades in Company securities to follow the brokerage firm's Rule 144 compliance procedures in connection with all trades.

VII. <u>EXECUTION AND RETURN OF CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; After reading this Policy, all officers, directors and employees should execute and return to the Company's General Counsel the Certification of Compliance form attached hereto as "Attachment B."

Note: ANY combination of PURCHASE AND SALE or SALE AND PURCHASE within six months of each other by an officer, director or 10% stockholder (or any family member living in the same household or certain affiliated entities) results in a violation of Section 16(b), and the "profit" must be recovered by Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (the "Company"). It makes no difference how long the shares being sold have been held or, for officers and directors, that you were an insider for only one of the two matching transactions. The highest priced sale will be matched with the lowest priced purchase within the six-month period.

**Sales**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If a sale is to be made by an officer, director or 10% stockholder (or any family member living in the same household or certain affiliated entities):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Have there been any purchases by the insider (or family members living in the same household or certain affiliated entities) within the past six months?

2. Have there been any option grants or exercises not exempt under Rule 16b-3 within the past six months?

3. Are any purchases (or non-exempt option exercises) anticipated or required within the next six months?

4. Has a Form 4 been prepared?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Note: If a sale is to be made by an affiliate of the Company, has a Form 144 been prepared and has the broker been reminded to sell pursuant to Rule 144?

**Purchases And Option Exercises**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; If a purchase or option exercise for Company stock is to be made:

1. Have there been any sales by the insider (or family members living in the same household or certain affiliated entities) within the past six months?

2. Are any sales anticipated or required within the next six months (such as tax- related or year-end transactions)?

3. Has a Form 4 been prepared?

**Before proceeding with a purchase or sale, consider whether you are aware of material inside information which could affect the price of the Company stock. All transactions in the Company's securities by officers and directors must be <u>pre-cleared</u> by contacting the Company's General Counsel or Chief Financial Officer.**
