Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 31, 2008, Dorman Products, Inc. (the "Company") issued
a press release announcing its operating results for the third quarter ended
September 27, 2008. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit
99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
The information being furnished in this Item 2.02 and in Exhibit 99.1
shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or incorporated by reference in any filing
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act except as
shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
The information being furnished in Exhibit 99.1 contains non-GAAP measures.
The presentation of these non-GAAP measures is intended to enhance the
usefulness of the financial information by providing measures which the
Company's management uses internally to evaluate the Company's baseline
performance. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition
to, not as a substitute for, or superior to net income or other financial
measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of those financial
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included in Exhibit
99.1.
Certain statements in this report constitute "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. While forward-looking statements sometimes are presented with numerical
specificity, they are based on various assumptions made by management regarding
future circumstances over many of which the Company has little or no control.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by words including "anticipate,"
"believe," "estimate," "expect," and similar expressions. The Company cautions
readers that forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those
relating to future business prospects, revenues, working capital, liquidity,
and income, are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that would cause
actual results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-
looking statements include but are not limited to competition in the automotive
aftermarket industry, concentration of the Compan's sales and accounts
receivable among a small number of customers, the impact of consolidation in
the automotive aftermarket industry, foreign currency fluctuations, dependence
on senior management and other risks and factors identified from time to time
in the reports the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially
from those anticipated, estimated or projected. For additional information
concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
the information contained in this report, reference is made to the information
in Part I, "Item 1A, Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007.
