COLMAR, PA — Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: DORM) delivered robust financial results for the second quarter of 2025, driven by solid demand in its Light Duty segment and ongoing cost-reduction efforts. The auto parts manufacturer reported net sales of $541 million, marking a 7.6% increase over the same period last year.
Diluted earnings per share climbed 25% to $1.91, up from $1.53 in the second quarter of 2024. On an adjusted basis, EPS rose 23% to $2.06.
President and CEO Kevin Olsen credited the company’s strong quarter to higher sales and disciplined cost management. “Strong demand in our Light Duty business drove total net sales growth of 7.6%,” Olsen said. He added that productivity gains and supply chain diversification contributed meaningfully to earnings growth.
Gross profit for the quarter rose to $219.5 million, or 40.6% of net sales, up from $199.4 million, or 39.6%, in the prior-year period. Selling, general, and administrative expenses totaled $137 million, representing 25.3% of net sales, while adjusted SG&A expenses came in at $131.3 million, or 24.3% of sales.
Reflecting confidence in its year-to-date performance and improved forecast, Dorman raised its full-year 2025 guidance. The company now expects net sales growth between 7% and 9%, diluted EPS in the range of $8.05 to $8.35, and adjusted diluted EPS between $8.60 and $8.90.
The updated outlook accounts for favorable timing in recognizing pricing and cost shifts tied to tariff impacts.
With strong operational execution and continued market demand, Dorman appears well-positioned to maintain its upward trajectory through the remainder of the year.
