**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.

#### &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 and brake-related products. 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 296 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 continue to focus on strategic growth by leveraging our competitive advantage and growing our industry position 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**](#tableOfContents0)

&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.

**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 25,000 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, national and international technical conferences, and trade shows to some of the world's leading automotive companies, and to the aerospace/aviation sector. We also offer testing services at our technical center located in Detroit, Michigan. During fiscal 2026, we sold approximately 99% of our products in North America, with approximately 1% 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 Mexico and our warehouse and distribution center in Malaysia that supports our 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 85%, 86%, and 83%, and sales to our largest customer, represented 42%, 39%, and 35% of our net sales during fiscal 2026, 2025 and 2024, 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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

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.

**Competition**

Our business is highly competitive. We compete with several large and medium-sized companies, including (i) Terrepower 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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

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.

**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 standard, which mandates that we foster continuous improvement to our manufacturing processes. Materials for custom systems are procured on a "just-in-time" basis while materials for standard systems are purchased in economic quantities to optimize efficiency. All incoming materials and components are inspected and tested as required. Certain components require vendor-supplied certificates of compliance or test results prior to shipment; remaining items are inspected upon arrival according to established protocols. 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. Comprehensive inspections and tests are conducted in alignment with our quality control program, which complies with ISO 9001:2015 standards.

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.

***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. See more information on this at *investors.motorcarparts.com/esg*. Highlights of our eco-friendly remanufacturing processes include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; sorting the Used Cores returned by customers utilizing an innovative and efficient core-sorting process;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; reconditioning and re-utilizing durable components after passing rigorous testing processes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; savings of raw materials due to a reduction in the required materials used in the remanufacturing production process, compared with new product processes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; recycling of water, cardboard, and metal.

***Human Capital.*** We regard our team members as integral to our strategic growth and success. We recognize that safety, inclusion, and offering exciting opportunities are fundamental to facilitating high retention and satisfaction of high performance team members. Equally important, we provide competitive compensation and excellent benefit programs, and support numerous programs that build connections between our team members and their communities. We believe our team members share our corporate ethics and values, as demonstrated in their daily interactions with customers, co-workers, vendors, and the public at large.

As of March 31, 2026, we employed approximately 5,600 people, with 300 people in the United States, 4,900 people in Mexico, 200 people in Canada, and 200 people in Malaysia and China. Approximately 5,200 people are production employees. We have non-union and unionized facilities. Approximately 4,700 production employees are covered by a local union in Mexico. We believe we have a strong relationship with the union that represents our employees.

***Inclusion and Diversity***. Our board is ethnically diverse and comprised of six independent directors, including one woman. We believe an inclusive workforce is critical to our success, with an ongoing focus on the hiring, retention, and advancement of women and other underrepresented ethnic groups. We employ 37% women and 63% men globally. In the United States, 68% of our workforce are considered ethnic minorities.

***Health, Safety and Wellness***. The success of our business is connected to the safety and well-being of our team members and their families. We provide our employees and their families with flexible and convenient health and wellness programs. Our programs are intended to support the physical and mental well-being with the tools and resources for employees to improve or maintain their health, and we encourage engagement in healthy behaviors for team members and their families.

***Compensation and benefits***. We provide competitive compensation and benefit programs that meet the needs of our employees, and are tailored to their local markets. In addition to wages and salaries, these programs may include annual cash bonuses, stock awards, a 401(k) Plan, healthcare, and insurance. We have also implemented methodologies to manage performance, provide feedback and develop talent.

***Social Responsibility.*** We are firmly committed to social responsibility. While safety, respect, and inclusion have always been fundamental to our company, these qualities are more important than ever. Our socially responsible initiatives include subsidized food programs for certain employees, donations to community organizations, sponsorship of sport teams and weekend family events.

**Information Security and Risk Oversight**

We have an information security risk program committed to regular risk management practices surrounding the protection of confidential data. This program includes various technical controls, including security monitoring, data leakage protection, network segmentation and access controls around the computer resources that house confidential or sensitive data. We have also implemented employee awareness training programs around phishing, malware, and other cyber risks. We continually evaluate the security environment surrounding the handling and control of our critical data and have instituted additional measures to help protect us from system intrusion or data breaches.

#### 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 conflicts in Iran, 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.***

Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including direct or indirect conflict involving Iran, have had and could continue to have significant global economic and operational impacts. Such conflicts may disrupt global trade routes, energy supplies, and financial markets, and may lead to increased volatility in fuel prices, transportation costs, and availability and pricing of key materials. In particular, disruptions in critical maritime shipping routes, including those in or near the Strait of Hormuz or other strategic chokepoints, could significantly delay or increase the cost of transporting goods and raw materials. Additionally, such conflicts may result in the imposition of sanctions, export controls, or other trade restrictions that could affect our ability to source components or conduct business in certain regions. These developments could materially disrupt our supply chain, increase our operating costs, reduce customer demand, and adversely impact our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

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, 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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; significantly increased costs and uncertainty in future costs due to higher tariff rates charged on components and finished goods by the U.S. 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; increased raw material, and other input costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

***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 have a material impact on 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 with 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 from our customers to pay us slower, which impacts our cash flows.

**<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 85%, and sales to our largest customer represented 42% of our net sales during fiscal 2026. 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.

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 have had an impact on 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 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.

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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; engage in more extensive research and development;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.

***Increased competition from manufacturers in China and other low-cost regions, including those with advanced automated manufacturing capabilities, could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.***

We face increasing competition from overseas manufacturers, particularly those located in China and other regions with lower labor and production costs. Certain of these competitors are investing heavily in advanced automated manufacturing technologies, including robotics, artificial intelligence-driven production systems, and large-scale manufacturing infrastructure. These capabilities may allow such competitors to produce automotive aftermarket products at lower cost, with greater speed, scalability, and consistency than we are able to achieve.

As a result, our competitors may be able to offer more competitive pricing, improved product availability, or enhanced product features, which could result in loss of market share, pressure on our margins, or reduced customer demand for our products. In addition, government support, subsidies, or favorable industrial policies in certain foreign jurisdictions may further enhance the competitive position of these manufacturers.

If we are unable to effectively compete with these manufacturers, including by continuing to invest in automation, operational efficiencies, and technological innovation, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

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

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

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. We have had and could continue to have 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, however, 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 is likely to cause a significant disruption in our manufacturing process, depending on the level and breadth of such tariff.

***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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

***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 recently experienced:

● significant delays in the delivery of cargo due to port security and overcrowding 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.

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 shipping and importation or increase in the costs of imported products. For example, common risks include:

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; increased sensitivity to changes in tariff rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; raw material shortages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; problems with oceanic shipping, including shipping container shortages;

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; work stoppages;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; strikes and political unrest;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; economic crises;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; international disputes and wars;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; import duties; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.

***We could be subject to changes in tax rates, the adoption of new U.S. or international tax legislation, or exposure to additional tax liabilities***.

Our effective income tax rate depends on many factors, including changes in tax laws or treaties and their interpretation, accounting guidance, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, and our ability to sustain tax positions on examination. We operate in multiple jurisdictions, which increases the complexity of our tax profile and may result in greater volatility in our effective tax rate. Adverse audit outcomes or increased compliance requirements could increase our tax obligations and adversely affect our results of operations.

International tax reform initiatives, including the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's global minimum tax framework, have been enacted or proposed in certain jurisdictions in which we operate, and additional guidance continues to evolve. In addition, recent and future changes to U.S. tax legislation, including the provisions of the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act, may affect our tax obligations. While the ultimate impact of these developments remains uncertain, they could increase our tax expense or effective tax rate in future periods.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

***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.

***Disruptions in the automotive aftermarket industry, including the financial distress or bankruptcy of significant competitors, suppliers, or customers, could adversely affect our business and operating results.***

The automotive aftermarket industry has experienced, and may continue to experience, consolidation and financial distress among market participants, including manufacturers, distributors, and suppliers. The bankruptcy or restructuring of a significant industry participant, such as a major competitor, could result in substantial disruption to the market.

Such disruptions may include aggressive pricing or liquidation of inventory by distressed competitors, changes in customer purchasing behavior, supply shortages, loss of key suppliers, or shifts in market share. In addition, we may experience increased pressure from customers seeking more favorable pricing or terms as a result of such disruptions, or may be required to assume additional operational or financial burdens in response to changes in the competitive landscape.

These dynamics could negatively impact our sales, margins, supply chain stability, and overall financial performance. We cannot predict the timing or extent of such disruptions or their impact on our business.

***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.

**<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:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; exchange controls and currency restrictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; currency fluctuations and devaluations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; changes in local economic conditions;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; global sovereign uncertainty and hyperinflation;

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; exposure to government actions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; increased required employment related costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; labor union activities, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 2026, 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 a non-cash gain of $2,515,000, and non-cash losses of $4,179,000, and $1,373,000, due to the change in the fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts during fiscal 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. In addition, we recorded a gain of $6,409,000, 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 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

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

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

We are affected by trade policy, including global tariffs. In December 2019, the United States, Mexico and Canada signed the amended United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (the "USMCA"). The U.S. government has 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. It remains difficult to predict what effect the USMCA 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 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 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 reduce expenses.

In addition, recent legal challenges to U.S. trade measures, including tariffs imposed under statutes such as the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"), have introduced further uncertainty regarding the scope, duration and enforceability of such tariffs. In early 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed a lower court decision invalidating certain tariffs previously imposed under IEEPA, and subsequent executive actions have created additional uncertainty regarding the potential reinstatement, modification or replacement of such tariffs.

These developments may result in shifting trade policies, including the possibility of retroactive adjustments, refund claims or new tariff regimes, which could impact the cost of imported components, the competitiveness of our products and our overall supply chain strategy. Ongoing or future litigation and regulatory actions may continue to create volatility in trade policy, making it difficult to predict the ultimate impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**<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, 2026, we had $94,668,000 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 6.79% at March 31, 2026 compared to 7.46% at March 31, 2025. 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**](#tableOfContents0)

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; future impairments of any goodwill of an acquired business.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

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 the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act ("SB-253"), which mandates the disclosure of greenhouse gas emissions, including Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions; and the Climate-Related Financial Risk Act ("SB-261"), which mandates the disclosure of climate-related financial risks, and measures adopted to reduce and adapt to such risks. California has delayed formal rulemaking for SB-253 until the first quarter of 2026. As of the date of this Annual Report, SB-261 is subject to a court injunction on its implementation. We continue to monitor and review developments relating to SB-253 and SB-261. 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, 2025, we surveyed 245 smelters or refiners for these minerals that are, or could be, in our supply chain. Of these, 85% 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**](#tableOfContents0)

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.

***Our failure to effectively adopt and integrate artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies into our operations and products could adversely affect our competitiveness and business performance.***

While we currently utilize artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies in certain aspects of our business, the pace of technological advancement in AI and related fields is rapid and may significantly impact the automotive aftermarket industry. Competitors that successfully integrate AI into manufacturing, supply chain management, pricing, forecasting, customer service, and product development may achieve meaningful competitive advantages.

If we are unable to timely and effectively adopt, implement, or scale AI and other advanced technologies, we may experience reduced operational efficiency, higher costs, slower innovation cycles, and diminished customer value propositions. This could result in loss of market share, reduced profitability, and decreased competitiveness relative to peers who more effectively leverage such technologies.

Additionally, the costs associated with developing, acquiring, and implementing AI technologies may be significant, and we may not realize the expected benefits of such investments.

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

Cybersecurity threats continue to evolve in sophistication and scale, and may be exacerbated by geopolitical tensions, including potential cyberwarfare conducted by nation-state actors or affiliated organizations. These attacks may target critical infrastructure, supply chains, financial systems, or corporate networks. As a result, we may face increased risk of cyber-attacks that could disrupt our operations, compromise sensitive data, impair our systems, or result in financial loss. Such attacks could include ransomware, data exfiltration, denial-of-service attacks, or other forms of malicious activity. Although we have implemented cybersecurity measures and risk management practices, these measures may not be sufficient to prevent or mitigate all potential threats. A successful cyber-attack could result in operational disruption, reputational harm, legal liability, and increased costs, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

**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.

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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

In December 2025, our board of directors approved an increase in our share repurchase program from $37,000,000 to $57,000,000 of our common stock. As of March 31, 2026, $34,928,000 has been utilized and $22,072,000 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 2,334,749 shares repurchased under this program through March 31, 2026. 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.

#### Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The following discussion contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, our expectations and statements regarding our outlook and future revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, plans, strategies and objectives of management and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements and factors that might cause future actual results to differ materially from our recent results or those projected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the section titled "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or our risk factors for any reason.

**Management Overview**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; With a scalable infrastructure and abundant growth opportunities, we continue to focus on strategic growth by leveraging our competitive advantage and growing our industry position by providing innovative and intuitive solutions to our customers. To support our strategic growth, we have made investments, which 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, (iii) the realignment of production at our original 312,000 square foot facility in Mexico, and (iv) the addition of a warehousing and distribution facility in Malaysia to support our direct shipment programs.

**Highlights and Accomplishments in Fiscal 2026**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During fiscal 2026, we continued to focus on strategic growth, improving profitability and leveraging our industry position within a rapidly changing competitive environment for non-discretionary aftermarket parts and solutions. Our solid financial position, quality products and customer relationships are key competitive strengths, and we expect to further capitalize on these distinctive qualities in fiscal 2027. The following significant accomplishments support our optimism:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Financial performance:

▸

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net sales increased 4.3 percent to a record $789.8 million;

▸

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Gross profit increased 3.9 percent to a record $159.9 million;

▸

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Operating income increased 64.9 percent to $65.8 million;

▸

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net income increased to $12.4 million from a net loss of $19.5 million in the prior year;

▸

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Generated cash from operating activities of approximately $19.2 million;

▸

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Repurchased 955,608 shares of our common stock for $11.4 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Awarded significant new business commitments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Expanded brand equity by increasing sales under the MPA portfolio of brands, including Quality-Built® in the professional installer market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Expanded product coverage with more than 237 new part numbers -- covering more than approximately 54 million vehicles in operation in North America for our Hard Parts products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Successfully executed tariff mitigation programs, including sourcing from lower tariff countries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Commenced the relocation of certain of our operations to our lower cost operation in Mexico, which will enable these products to become more competitive;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Continued sales growth in the emerging Mexican market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Continued market share gains for our JBT-1 bench-top testers, with the majority of retail stores in North America deploying our diagnostic units; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Commenced direct shipments from our distribution center in Malaysia.

**Trends Affecting Our Business**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, geopolitical events, 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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

***Foreign Currency***

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We source the majority of our raw materials and parts from suppliers in a variety of non-U.S. countries, which are subject to tariffs. As a result, we have taken actions designed to mitigate the potential impacts of 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 these tariffs or future imposition of any additional tariffs, changes thereto, or actions taken by countries in response to these 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 these tariffs will be effective.

***Inflation***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The cost to manufacture and distribute our products is impacted by the cost of raw materials, finished goods, labor, and transportation. During fiscal 2026, 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***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 2026, 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. Most of our interest costs result from our accounts receivable discount programs, which had a weighted average discount rate of 5.4% for fiscal 2026 compared with 6.2% for fiscal 2025. The weighted average interest on borrowings under our credit facility was 6.79% at March 31, 2026 compared with 7.46% at March 31, 2025. Any future increases in interest rates will continue to adversely impact our financial results.

**Segment Reporting**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our three operating segments are as follows:

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

&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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, 2026. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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***

*Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 on a prospective basis, although optional retrospective application is permitted. We adopted this standard on a prospective basis as of March 31, 2026, which expanded our income tax disclosures.

***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. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our 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 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, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our 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, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

*Measurement of Credit Losses*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, *Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets,* which provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities that elect the practical expedient and, if applicable, make the accounting policy election are required to apply the amendments prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

*Internal-Use Software*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software*, which amends the recognition and disclosure guidance for internal-use software costs, removing the previous software development stage model with a probable-to-complete recognition threshold. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

*Interim Reporting*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, *Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements*, which improves the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, *Interim Reporting*, and clarifies when it applies. Under this guidance, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

*Codification Improvements*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, *Codification Improvements*, which addresses suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the Accounting Standards Codification and makes other incremental improvements to GAAP. The update represents changes to the Accounting Standards Codification that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments to ASC 260 retrospectively. All other amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

***Inventory***

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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:

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

&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. 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.

&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 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ● &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 $19,002,000 and $18,964,000 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 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 our 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, and (iv) finished goods premiums paid to customers.

&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, 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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 of up 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.

***Revenue Recognition***

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

&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 we expect these Remanufactured Cores to be returned for credit under our core exchange programs.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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*

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

&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, 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***

&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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

&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. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Accrued core payments represent the agreed upon 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.

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 $29,923,000 and $34,411,000 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in the customer finished goods returns accrual primarily resulted from the timing of returned goods authorizations ("RGAs") issued at March 31, 2026 compared with March 31, 2025.

***Income Taxes***

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

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, 2026 and 2025, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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**

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

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

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Fiscal Years Ended March 31,** | **Fiscal Years Ended March 31,** | **Fiscal Years Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cash flows provided by operations  | $19158000 | $45477000 | $39172000 |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 2026 were $789,806,000, which represents an increase of $32,452,000, or 4.3%, from fiscal 2025 of $757,354,000. The increase in our sales for fiscal 2026 compared with fiscal 2025 includes the recognition of remanufactured core revenue of $34,714,000 in connection with the realignment of inventory at certain customers' distribution centers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The following summarizes consolidated net sales by product mix:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During fiscal 2026, we combined our wheel hub products into our brake-related products. Prior year amounts have been recast to conform to the current year presentation.

*Gross Profit.* Our consolidated gross profit was $159,901,000, or 20.2% of consolidated net sales, for fiscal 2026 compared with $153,828,000, or 20.3% of consolidated net sales, for fiscal 2025. Our gross margin for fiscal 2026 compared with fiscal 2025 was impacted by (i) continued amortization of core and finished goods premiums of $11,901,000 and $10,738,000, respectively, (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 $3,590,000 and $2,805,000, respectively, (iii) transition expenses of $2,571,000 and $1,298,000, respectively, in connection with our on-going strategy to utilize our global footprint to enhance operating efficiencies, and (iv) net tariff costs paid for products sold before price increases were effective of $2,124,000 and $4,607,000, respectively.

| Foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts | (1.1)% | 2.1% |

---

*General and Administrative.* Our general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2026 were $63,303,000, which represents a decrease of $744,000, or 1.2%, from fiscal 2025 of $64,047,000. This decrease was primarily due to $2,265,000 in decreased severance costs partially offset by $1,087,000 of increased information technology costs in connection with cybersecurity and other productivity tools.

*Sales and Marketing*. Our sales and marketing expenses for fiscal 2026 were $25,491,000, which represents an increase of $2,930,000, or 13.0%, from fiscal 2025 of $22,561,000. This increase was primarily due to (i) $986,000 from increased headcount to support our growth initiatives, (ii) $782,000 in increased commissions expense, and (iii) $829,000 in increased advertising and other marketing expenses.

*Research and Development*. Our research and development expenses for fiscal 2026 were $14,196,000, which represents an increase of $2,791,000, or 24.5%, from fiscal 2025 of $11,405,000. This increase was primarily due to (i) $1,213,000 for increased employee-related costs primarily to support our new product introductions, (ii) $999,000 for engineering-related professional services, and (iii) $454,000 in increased expense for supplies and our sample library.

*Foreign Exchange Impact of Lease Liabilities and Forward Contracts*. Our foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts were a non-cash gain of $8,924,000 compared with a non-cash loss of $15,892,000 for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. This change during fiscal 2026 compared with fiscal 2025 was primarily due to (i) the remeasurement of our foreign currency-denominated lease liabilities resulted in a non-cash gain of $6,409,000 compared with a non-cash loss of $11,713,000, respectively, and (ii) the change in the fair values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts resulted in a non-cash gain of $2,515,000 compared with a non-cash loss of $4,179,000, respectively.

***Operating Income***

*Consolidated Operating Income*. Our consolidated operating income for fiscal 2026 was $65,835,000 compared with $39,923,000 for fiscal 2025. This increase was primarily due to the impact of the foreign exchange remeasurement of lease liabilities and forward contracts and other items as discussed above.

***Interest Expense***

*Interest Expense, net.* Our interest expense for fiscal 2026 was $46,696,000, which represents a decrease of $8,854,000, or 15.9%, from interest expense for fiscal 2025 of $55,550,000. This decrease was primarily due to (i) lower interest rates on both our credit facility and accounts receivable discount programs, (ii) lower average outstanding balances under our credit facility, and (iii) lower utilization of our accounts receivable discount programs.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

***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 gain of $1,130,000 compared with a non-cash loss of $60,000 for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively, associated with the convertible notes issued on March 31, 2023.

***Provision for Income Taxes***

*Income Tax*. We recorded income tax expense of $7,875,000, or an effective tax rate of 38.9%, and $3,783,000, or an effective tax rate of (24.1)%, for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2026 and 2025 were primarily impacted by (i) the change in valuation allowance on certain jurisdictions' deferred tax assets resulting from current year activities, (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).

**Fiscal 2025 Compared with Fiscal 2024**

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Overview***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $184,386,000 and $160,446,000, a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.5:1.0 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our primary source of liquidity was from cash generated from operations and the use of our accounts receivable discount programs during the year ended March 31, 2026. We believe our cash generated from operations, cash and cash equivalents, use of accounts receivable discount programs, and amounts available under our credit facility are sufficient to satisfy our expected future liquidity needs over the next 12 months.

*Fiscal 2026 Compared with Fiscal 2025*

Net cash provided by operating activities was $19,158,000 and $45,477,000 for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our operating activities were primarily impacted by the following changes in our working capital: (i) the build-up of our inventory to support future sales and (ii) higher accounts receivable balances resulting from increased sales that will be collected in future periods. In addition, our operating activities were further impacted by changes in operating results (net income (loss) plus the net add-back for non-cash transactions in earnings). We continue to manage our working capital to maximize our operating cash flow.

Net cash used in investing activities was $3,590,000 and $4,469,000 for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in our investing activities primarily resulted from decreased capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $10,980,000 and $44,655,000 for fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. The change in our financing activities primarily resulted from (i) net borrowing of $3,881,000 in fiscal 2026 compared with net repayments of $37,213,000 in fiscal 2025, under our revolving facility and (ii) the repurchase of 955,608 shares of our common stock for $11,351,000 in fiscal 2026 compared with 542,134 shares of our common stock for $4,832,000 in fiscal 2025.

***Capital Resources***

*Credit Facility*

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

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We had $94,668,000 and $90,787,000 outstanding under the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, $15,470,000 was outstanding for letters of credit at March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, after certain contractual adjustments, $119,048,000 was available under the Revolving Facility. The interest rate on our Revolving Facility was 6.79% and 7.46%, at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 year ended March 31, 2026, 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*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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. In April 2025, non-cash accrued interest on the Convertible Notes of $3,521,000 was paid in-kind and is included in the principal amount of Convertible Notes at March 31, 2026. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, 2026, we had 28,680,086 shares of our common stock available to be issued if the Convertible Notes were converted.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, 2026 and 2025. 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.

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 $16,900,000 and $9,000,000, and an asset of $10,560,000 and $1,530,000 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 are recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, we recorded a gain of $1,130,000, 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, 2026 and 2025. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of those features are recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Unamortized debt issuance costs of $745,000 and $916,000 are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amounts of the Convertible Notes at March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2026, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 (i) interest rates were to rise, (ii) utilization of these accounts receivable discount programs expand, (iii) customers extend their payment to us, or (iv) the discount period is extended to reflect more favorable payment terms to customers.

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

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Years Ended March 31,** | **Years Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Receivables discounted  | $620561000 | $643918000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Weighted average days  | 346 | 343 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Weighted average discount rate  | 5.4% | 6.2% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Amount of discount as interest expense  | $32023000 | $38021000 |

---

*Supplier Finance Programs*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 were $40,000,000 as of March 31, 2026. 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, 2026 and 2025, we had $42,076,000 and $33,661,000, respectively, in outstanding supplier obligations confirmed as valid under this program, included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

*Multi-year Customer Agreements*

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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 December 2025, our board of directors approved an increase in our share repurchase program from $37,000,000 to $57,000,000 of our common stock. During fiscal 2026, we repurchased 955,608 shares of our common stock for $11,351,000. As of March 31, 2026, $34,928,000 has been utilized and $22,072,000 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 2,334,749 shares repurchased under this program through March 31, 2026. 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.

***Capital Expenditures and Commitments***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our total capital expenditures were $6,915,000 in fiscal 2026 and $6,066,000 in fiscal 2025. These capital expenditures include (i) cash paid for the purchase of plant and equipment, (ii) plant and equipment acquired under finance leases, and (iii) accrued capital expenditures. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2026 primarily include the purchase of equipment for our current operations. We expect to incur approximately $9,000,000 of capital expenditures primarily to support our operations in fiscal 2027. We have used and expect to continue using our working capital and additional capital lease obligations to finance these capital expenditures.

---

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Finance lease obligations represent amounts due under finance leases for various types of equipment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (2)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Operating lease obligations represent amounts due for rent under our leases for all our facilities and certain equipment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (3)

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (4)

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (5)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Accrued core payment represents the amounts due for principal of $13,725,000 and interest payments of $744,000 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (6)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The core bank liability represents the amounts due for principal of $10,048,000 and interest payments of $47,000 to be made in connection with the return of Used Cores from our customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (7)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Finished goods liabilities represents the amounts due for principal of $837,000 and no interest payments to be made in connection with the purchase of finished goods from our customers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (8)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We are unable to reliably estimate the timing of future payments related to uncertain tax position liabilities at March 31, 2026; therefore, future tax payment accruals related to uncertain tax positions in the amount of $913,000 have been excluded from the table above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (9) Allowances incurred under long-term customer contracts 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
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of the use of our accounts receivable discount programs and borrowing under our Credit Facility, which have interest costs that vary with interest rate movements. During the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, collections under our accounts receivable discount program were $620,561,000 and $643,918,000, respectively. The weighted average discount rate was 5.4% and 6.2% during fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively. If discount rates were to increase 1%, our net annual interest expense on our accounts receivable discount programs would have increased by approximately $6,206,000. In addition, our Revolving Facility bears interest at variable base rates, plus an applicable margin, which was 6.79% and 7.46% at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. At March 31, 2026, borrowings under our Revolving Facility totaled $94,668,000. If interest rates were to increase 1%, our net annual interest expense on our Revolving Facility would have increased by approximately $947,000.

***Foreign currency risk***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, Canadian dollar, Malaysian ringgit, Singapore dollar, Chinese yuan, and the Indian rupee. 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, 2026 would have increased our operating expenses by approximately $3,994,000. During fiscal 2026 and 2025, a gain of $2,515,000 and a loss of $4,179,000, respectively, were recorded due to the change in the fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts subsequent to entering into the contracts. In addition, we recorded a gain of $6,409,000 and a loss of $11,713,000 in connection with the remeasurement of foreign currency-denominated lease liabilities during fiscal 2026 and 2025, respectively.

***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 accounts receivable 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. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The information required by this item is set forth in the consolidated financial statements, commencing on page F-1 included herein.

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

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, 2026.

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 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, 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026 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**

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

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

**Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls**

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

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

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

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

**Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We have audited Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. and subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2026, 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, 2026, based on the COSO criteria.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2026, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15a.(2) and our report dated June 8, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

**Basis for Opinion**

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

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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**

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

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2026, 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, 2026 and 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2026, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, 2026, 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 8, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

**Basis for Opinion**

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

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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*  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, 2026, marketing allowances recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheet were $19,616,000, which is presented within contract liabilities. <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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.  |

| *How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit*  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&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>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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***

*Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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 on a prospective basis, although optional retrospective application is permitted. The Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis as of March 31, 2026, which expanded the Company's income tax disclosures (see Note 17).

***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.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

*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, with early adoption 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, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its financial statement disclosures.

*Measurement of Credit Losses*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, *Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets,* which provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, *Revenue from Contracts with Customers*. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities that elect the practical expedient and, if applicable, make the accounting policy election are required to apply the amendments prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

*Internal-Use Software*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, *Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software*, which amends the recognition and disclosure guidance for internal-use software costs, removing the previous software development stage model with a probable-to-complete recognition threshold. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

*Interim Reporting*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, *Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements*, which improves the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270, *Interim Reporting*, and clarifies when it applies. Under this guidance, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of such financial statements, interim disclosures requirements, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

*Codification Improvements*

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, *Codification Improvements*, which addresses suggestions received from stakeholders regarding the Accounting Standards Codification and makes other incremental improvements to GAAP. The update represents changes to the Accounting Standards Codification that clarify, correct errors in or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to apply the amendments to ASC 260 retrospectively. All other amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and 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 include (i) light duty rotating electric products such as alternators and starters and (ii) brake-related products, which includes brake calipers, brake boosters, brake rotors, brake pads and brake master cylinders, and wheel hub assemblies and bearings,

&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.

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

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

***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 accounts 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 accounts 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.

&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 $19,002,000 and $18,964,000 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company records vendor discounts as a reduction of inventories and are recognized as a reduction to cost of goods sold 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 as 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, and (iv) finished goods premiums paid to customers.

&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. 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.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

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 of up 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.

***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, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2026, 2025, or 2024.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

***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.

&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 gain of $6,409,000, a loss of $11,713,000, and a gain of $5,187,000 during the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024, 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, 2026, 2025, or 2024.

***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, 2026, 2025 or 2024.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

***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 the 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 gain of $494,000, a loss of $2,987,000, and a gain of $515,000 for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, 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 the Company's 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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

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.

&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 agreed upon 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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

&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.

&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.

***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 (i) 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 (ii) 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.

***Advertising Costs***

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025 and 2024 were $1,041,000, $435,000, and $614,000, respectively.

***Net Income (Loss) Per Share***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (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. 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 income (loss) per share.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

The following presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Years Ended March 31,** | **Years Ended March 31,** | **Years Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net income (loss)  | $12394000 | $(19470000) | $(49244000) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Basic shares  | 19304105 | 19685322 | 19601204 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dilutive effect of share-based awards  | 674965 |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Diluted shares  | 19979070 | 19685322 | 19601204 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net income (loss) per share:  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Basic net income (loss) per share  | $0.64 | $(0.99) | $(2.51) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Diluted net income (loss) per share  | $0.62 | $(0.99) | $(2.51) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Anti-dilutive shares (excluded from per-share calculations):  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Outstanding share-based awards  | 982116 | 2323321 | 2122863 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dilutive effect of Convertible Notes under the "if-converted" method  | 2743359 | 2493963 | 1693778 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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, 2026, the Warrants were not exercisable.

***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 (as defined in Note 8). 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***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 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. See Note 14 for information concerning the fair value of the Company's Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 8).

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

***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 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, provides 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 $2,028,000 and $1,881,000, and the deferred compensation liability, which is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, was $2,028,000 and $1,881,000 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, the Company made contributions of $80,000, $36,000 and $6,000, 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, 2026, 2025, and 2024, employee contributions of $115,000, $46,000, and $82,000, respectively, were made to the deferred compensation plan. During the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, the Company redeemed $301,000, $151,000, and $603,000, respectively, of its short-term investments for the payment of deferred compensation liabilities.

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

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Years Ended March 31,** | **Years Ended March 31,** | **Years Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Net gain recognized on equity securities  | $252000 | $105000 | $347000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Less: net gain recognized on equity securities sold  | 27000 | 8000 | 74000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Unrealized gain recognized on equity securities still held  | $225000 | $97000 | $273000 |

***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.

***Restructuring Costs***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company periodically implements restructuring programs to enhance operating efficiencies. Restructuring costs, including severance and other employee termination benefits, facility exit costs, transition expenses, and other incremental costs directly associated with an approved restructuring plan, are recognized when management has approved the restructuring plan, the plan has been communicated to affected employees, and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Restructuring costs are recorded within each respective line item in the consolidated statements of operations based on the nature of the costs and the functions of the affected employees and activities. Restructuring costs, including relocation costs, associated with future activities are expensed as incurred.

**3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets**

*Goodwill*

The Company had goodwill of $3,205,000 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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:

|  **Total plant and equipment**  | $30739000 | $31990000 |

---

Plant and equipment located in the foreign countries where the Company has facilities, net of accumulated depreciation, totaled $27,321,000 and $27,760,000, of which $24,126,000 and $25,001,000 is located in Mexico, at March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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.

The Company had $94,668,000 and $90,787,000 outstanding under the Revolving Facility at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, $15,470,000 was outstanding for letters of credit at March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, after certain contractual adjustments, $119,048,000 was available under the Revolving Facility. The interest rate on the Company's Revolving Facility was 6.79% and 7.46% at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

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 year ended March 31, 2026, 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. In April 2025, non-cash accrued interest for the Convertible Notes of $3,521,000 was paid in-kind and is included in the principal amount of Convertible Notes at March 31, 2026. 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, 2026** | **March 31, 2025** |
| **Convertible Notes, related party**  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Principal amount of Convertible Notes  | $38730000 | $35209000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Less: unamortized debt discount attributed to Compound Net Derivative Liability  | (5332000) | (6556000) |

| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Carrying amount of the Convertible Notes  | 32653000 | 27737000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Plus: Compound Net Derivative Liability  | 6340000 | 7470000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Net carrying amount of Convertible Notes, related party**  | $38993000 | $35207000 |

---

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, 2026, the Company had 28,680,086 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, 2026 and 2025. 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**](#tableOfContents0)

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 $16,900,000 and $9,000,000, and an asset of $10,560,000 and $1,530,000 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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 are recorded in current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations. During the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, the Company recorded a gain of $1,130,000, 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, 2026 and 2025. Any subsequent changes from the initial recognition in the fair value of those features are 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 $745,000 and $916,000 are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amounts of the Convertible Notes at March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

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.

Interest expense related to the Convertible Notes is as follows:

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Total interest expense**  | $5268000 | $4683000 | $4172000 |

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.

**10. Leases**

The Company leases various facilities in North America and Asia under operating leases expiring through August 2033. 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 gain of $6,409,000, a remeasurement loss of $11,713,000 and a remeasurement gain of $5,187,000 during the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively. These remeasurement gains and losses are included in foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the consolidated statements of operations.

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, 2026 and 2025, respectively. 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 were $40,000,000 as of March 31, 2026. 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, 2026 and 2025, the Company had $42,076,000 and $33,661,000, 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:

**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**](#tableOfContents0)

The Company had forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of $43,076,000 and $45,921,000 at March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2026, 2025, and 2024. The fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts of $852,000 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2026. The fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts of $1,663,000 is included in other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2025.

**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.

| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Compound Net Derivative Liability  | 6340000 |  |  | 6340000 | 7470000 |  |  | 7470000 |

---

***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, 2026 and 2025. 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:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **March 31, 2026** | **March 31, 2025** |
| Risk free interest rate | 3.81% | 3.91% |
| Cost of equity | 19.4% | 21.3% |
| Weighted average cost of capital | 12.8% | 14.9% |
| Expected volatility of MPA common stock | 70% | 40% |
| EBITDA volatility | 40% | 45% |

The following summarizes the activity for Level 3 fair value measurements:

|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Years Ended March 31,** | **Years Ended March 31,** | **Years Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** | **2024** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Beginning balance  | $7470000 | $7410000 | $8430000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Changes in the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability included in earnings  | (1130000) | 60000 | (1020000) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ending balance  | $6340000 | $7470000 | $7410000 |

---

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2026 and 2025, the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes was $38,993,000 and $35,207,000, respectively (see Note 8). The estimated fair value of the Company's Convertible Notes was $50,363,000 and $42,398,000 using Level 3 inputs at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**15. Commitments and Contingencies**

***Tariffs***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were not authorized by statute. Following the ruling, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to suspend collection of such tariffs and to establish a process to refund amounts previously collected. As a result of this ruling, the Company may be eligible to receive refunds of tariffs previously paid on qualifying imports. The timing and ultimate resolution of these refund claims, including the amount and timing of any cash receipts, are subject to administrative processing and remain uncertain as of the date the financial statements were issued. Accordingly, no amounts related to tariff refunds have been recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company will recognize any refunds when realization is considered probable and the amounts are reasonably estimable.

***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:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Years Ended March 31,** | **Years Ended March 31,** | **Years Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** | **2024** |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Balance at beginning of year  | $19677000 | $19326000 | $19830000 |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Charged to expense  | 157877000 | 151764000 | 142240000 |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Amounts processed  | (158366000) | (151413000) | (142744000) |
|  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Balance at end of year  | $19188000 | $19677000 | $19326000 |

---

At March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company's total warranty return accrual was $19,188,000 and $19,677,000, respectively, of which $7,479,000 and $6,478,000, respectively, was included in the customer returns RGA issued within accounts receivable—net and $11,709,000 and $13,199,000, respectively, was included in the customer finished goods returns accrual in the consolidated balance sheets.

***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.

------

[**Table of Contents**](#tableOfContents0)

&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:

| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Allowances related to a single exchange of product  | 121642000 | 133169000 | 130918000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Amortization of core premiums paid to customers  | 10797000 | 9826000 | 10181000 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Total marketing allowances recorded as a reduction to revenues**  | $141344000 | $151731000 | $151227000 |

| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Total** | $15497000 | $39385000 | $54882000 |

---

***Contingencies***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Company is subject to various lawsuits and claims. In addition, government agencies and self-regulatory organizations have the ability to conduct periodic examinations of and administrative proceedings regarding the Company's business, and its compliance with law, code, and regulations related to matters including, but not limited to, environmental, information security, taxes, levies, tariffs. In the opinion of management, such litigation is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

**16. Significant Customer and Other Information**

***Significant Customer Concentrations***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While the Company continually seeks to diversify its customer base, it currently derives, and has historically derived, a substantial portion of its sales from a small number of large customers. 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 the Company's business, results of operations, and financial condition.

As of March 31, 2026, before tax effect, the Company had federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards. These net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards were generated in various tax years and have different expiration periods depending on the applicable laws at the time they were generated. As of March 31, 2026, the Company's NOL carryforwards are as follows (i) $337,000 in federal NOL carryforwards, with limited carryforward, that were generated before January 1, 2018 and will expire beginning in fiscal year 2034, (ii) $1,442,000 in federal NOL carryforwards, with unlimited carryforward, that were generated after December 31, 2017 and can be carried forward indefinitely, subject to an annual limitation of 80% of taxable income, (iii) $123,000 in state NOL carryforwards, with limited carryforward, that were generated from states with various carryforward periods and will expire beginning in fiscal year 2032 with amounts and expiration periods varying by state, (iv) $50,000 in state NOL carryforwards, with unlimited carryforward, that were generated from states with indefinite carryforward, subject to specific annual limitations on utilization varying by state, and (v) $13,305,000 in Canadian NOL carryforwards, with limited carryforward, that can be carried forward for up to 20 years and expire beginning in fiscal year 2038. As of March 31, 2026, the Company also had non-US tax credit carryforwards of $1,687,000, which will expire beginning in fiscal year 2034.

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 $2,432,000 during the year ended March 31, 2026. 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 an increase in one of its Canadian subsidiary's deferred tax assets resulting from current year activities. 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, 2026, 2025, and 2024, 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, (v) impact of the non-deductible executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), and (vi) impact of an excess tax benefit from share-based compensation.

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

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 353,778 PSUs (at target performance levels) based on the Company's stock price or a total shareholder return ("TSR") market conditions. During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company granted 258,983 PSUs (at target performance levels), based on a TSR market condition. During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted 585,583 PSUs based on the Company's stock price market condition. All PSUs granted have a three-year performance period, subject to continued employment. The estimated grant date fair value of the PSUs of $3,738,000, $2,264,000, and $2,637,000, for the years ended March 31, 2026, 2025, and 2024, respectively, was based on the estimated fair value of the award using the Monte Carlo valuation model for performance stock units subject to market conditions.

*Stock Price PSUs*

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted 176,893 PSUs (at target performance levels), which vest as follows: (i) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share, then 1/3 of the grant will vest, (ii) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $17.00 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 $18.00 and $22.00 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.

During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company did not grant any PSUs based on the Company's stock price.

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted 585,583 PSUs, which vest 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.

*TSR PSUs*

During the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company granted 176,885 and 258,983 PSUs (at target performance levels), respectively, which cliff vest and 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 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, as of the start of the performance period. 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not grant any PSUs based on a TSR market condition.

## Exhibit 97.1

**EXHIBIT 97.1**

**MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA, INC. POLICY FOR RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION**

Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (the "***Company***") has adopted this Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (the "***Policy***"), effective as of October 2, 2023 (the "***Effective Date***"). Capitalized terms used in this Policy but not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 11.

**1.** **<u>Persons Subject to Policy</u>**

This Policy shall apply to current and former Officers of the Company. Each Officer shall be required to sign an Acknowledgment Agreement pursuant to which such Officer will agree to be bound by the terms of, and comply with, this Policy; however, any Officer's failure to sign any such Acknowledgment Agreement shall not negate the application of this Policy to the Officer.

**2.** **<u>Compensation Subject to Policy</u>**

This Policy shall apply to Incentive-Based Compensation received on or after the Effective Date. For purposes of this Policy, the date on which Incentive-Based Compensation is "received" shall be determined under the Applicable Rules, which generally provide that Incentive-Based Compensation is "received" in the Company's fiscal period during which the relevant Financial Reporting Measure is attained or satisfied, without regard to whether the grant, vesting or payment of the Incentive-Based Compensation occurs after the end of that period.

**3.** **<u>Recovery of Compensation</u>**

In the event that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement, the Company shall recover, reasonably promptly, the portion of any Incentive-Based Compensation that is Erroneously Awarded Compensation, unless the Committee has determined that recovery would be Impracticable. Recovery shall be required in accordance with the preceding sentence regardless of whether the applicable Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement for the Restatement and regardless of whether or when restated financial statements are filed by the Company. For clarity, the recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation under this Policy will not give rise to any person's right to voluntarily terminate employment for "good reason," or due to a "constructive termination" (or any similar term of like effect) under any plan, program or policy of or agreement with the Company or any of its affiliates.

**4.** **<u>Manner of Recovery; Limitation on Duplicative Recovery</u>**

The Committee shall, in its sole discretion, determine the manner of recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation, which may include, without limitation, reduction or cancellation by the Company or an affiliate of the Company of Incentive-Based Compensation, Erroneously Awarded Compensation or time-vesting equity awards, reimbursement or repayment by any person subject to this Policy of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and, to the extent permitted by law, an offset of the Erroneously Awarded Compensation against other compensation payable by the Company or an affiliate of the Company to such person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise prohibited by the Applicable Rules, to the extent this Policy provides for recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation already recovered by the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or Other Recovery Arrangements, the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation already recovered by the Company from the recipient of such Erroneously Awarded Compensation may be credited to the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation required to be recovered pursuant to this Policy from such person.

------

**5.** **<u>Administration</u>**

This Policy shall be administered, interpreted and construed by the Committee, which is authorized to make all determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for such purpose. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "***Board***") may re-vest in itself the authority to administer, interpret and construe this Policy in accordance with applicable law, and in such event references herein to the "Committee" shall be deemed to be references to the Board. Subject to any permitted review by the applicable national securities exchange or association pursuant to the Applicable Rules, all determinations and decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of this Policy shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company and its affiliates, equityholders and employees. The Committee may delegate administrative duties with respect to this Policy to one or more directors or employees of the Company, as permitted under applicable law, including any Applicable Rules.

**6.** **<u>Interpretation</u>**

This Policy will be interpreted and applied in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of the Applicable Rules, and to the extent this Policy is inconsistent with such Applicable Rules, it shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to ensure compliance therewith.

**7.** **<u>No Indemnification; No Liability</u>**

The Company shall not indemnify or insure any person against the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation pursuant to this Policy, nor shall the Company directly or indirectly pay or reimburse any person for any premiums for third-party insurance policies that such person may elect to purchase to fund such person's potential obligations under this Policy. None of the Company, an affiliate of the Company or any member of the Committee or the Board shall have any liability to any person as a result of actions taken under this Policy.

**8.** **<u>Application; Enforceability</u>**

Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or the Board, the adoption of this Policy does not limit, and is intended to apply in addition to, any other clawback, recoupment, forfeiture or similar policies or provisions of the Company or its affiliates, including any such policies or provisions of such effect contained in any employment agreement, bonus plan, incentive plan, equity-based plan or award agreement thereunder or similar plan, program or agreement of the Company or an affiliate or required under applicable law (the "***Other Recovery Arrangements***"). The remedy specified in this Policy shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy at law or in equity that may be available to the Company or an affiliate of the Company.

**9.** **<u>Severability</u>**

The provisions in this Policy are intended to be applied to the fullest extent of the law; provided, however, to the extent that any provision of this Policy is found to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted, and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required under applicable law.

**10.** **<u>Amendment and Termination</u>**

The Board or the Committee may amend, modify or terminate this Policy in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion. This Policy will terminate automatically when the Company does not have a class of securities listed on a national securities exchange or association.

**11.** **<u>Definitions</u>**

"***Applicable Rules***" means Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 promulgated thereunder, the listing rules of the national securities exchange or association on which the Company's securities are listed, and any applicable rules, standards or other guidance adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange or association on which the Company's securities are listed.

**PERTAINING TO THE MOTORCAR PARTS OF AMERICA, INC. POLICY FOR RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED COMPENSATION**

In consideration of, and as a condition to, the receipt of future cash and equity incentive compensation from Motorcar Parts of America, Inc. (the "Company"), _________________ ("Executive") and the Company are entering into this Acknowledgment Agreement.

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

1. Executive agrees that compensation received by Executive may be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture and/or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with the Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (as amended from time to time, the "Policy"). Executive acknowledges that Executive has received and has had an opportunity to review the Policy.

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

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

3. Executive further acknowledges and agrees that Executive is not entitled to indemnification in connection with any enforcement of the Policy and expressly waives any rights to such indemnification under the Company's organizational documents or otherwise.

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

4. Executive agrees to take all actions requested by the Company in order to enable or facilitate the enforcement of the Policy (including, without limitation, any reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment of any compensation that Executive has received or to which Executive may become entitled).

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

5. To the extent any recovery right under the Policy conflicts with any other contractual rights Executive may have with the Company or any affiliate, Executive understands that the terms of the Policy shall supersede any such contractual rights. Executive agrees that no recovery of compensation under the Policy will be an event that triggers or contributes to any right of Executive to resign for "good reason" or "constructive termination" (or similar term) under any agreement with the Company or any affiliate.
