The earnings call presented strong revenue and margin growth driven by effective pricing strategies and supplier diversification, contributing to a significant increase in EPS. However, challenges remain due to tariff-related impacts on cash flow and specific segment struggles, especially in the Heavy Duty and Specialty Vehicle segments.
Company Guidance
During the Dorman Products Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call, the company provided guidance reflecting strong performance in the first nine months of the year. Dorman reaffirmed its net sales growth forecast of 7% to 9% for 2025, with adjusted diluted EPS expected to range from $8.60 to $8.90, representing an increase of 21% to 25% compared to the previous year. The company highlighted that this guidance is based on current tariffs, with potential updates if significant trade disruptions occur. Dorman anticipates a reduced gross margin in the fourth quarter due to tariff impacts on cost of goods sold and expects the full-year tax rate to be around 23.5%. The guidance reflects Dorman's confidence in continuing to deliver strong year-over-year growth despite uncertainties related to tariffs and trade dynamics.

EPS Growth
Adjusted diluted EPS grew 34% year-over-year to $2.62, driven by growth, margin expansion, and timing dynamics of pricing and costs related to tariffs.
