Dorman Products, Inc. Reports Sales and Earnings for the Fourth Quarter and Year Ended December 30, 2006

COLMAR, PA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 23, 2007 -- Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: DORM) (formerly R&B, Inc. NASDAQ: RBIN) today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 30, 2006. The Company operates on a fifty-two, fifty-three week period ending on the last Saturday of the calendar year. As a result, fourth quarter 2005 results are for 14 weeks and fiscal 2005 includes 53 weeks while the current year results are for 13 and 52 weeks, respectively.

Sales increased 5% to $77.9 million for the fourth quarter ended December 30, 2006 from $74.5 million in the same period last year despite one less selling week in the current year. Sales for the year ended December 30, 2006 increased 6% to $295.8 million from $278.1 million in the same period last year. Revenue growth was driven primarily by increased sales from new products.

Net income in the fourth quarter of 2006 was $4.9 million compared to net income of $4.4 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share in the fourth quarter increased 13% to $0.27 from $0.24 in the same period last year.

Results for the year ended December 30, 2006 include a one-time $3.2 million non-cash write-down for goodwill impairment ($2.9 million or $0.16 per share) and the write off of deferred tax benefits ($0.3 million or $0.02 per share) associated with the Company's Swedish subsidiary (Scan-Tech). The charges, which are not tax deductible, were the result of a second quarter review of the Scan-Tech business in response to bad debt charge offs at two large customers and the resulting loss of those customers in the first half of the year.

Excluding the goodwill impairment and deferred tax write off, net income for the year was $17.0 million compared to net income of $17.1 million last year and fully diluted EPS for the year were $0.94 compared to $0.93 last year. Reported net income for the year ended December 30, 2006 was $13.8 million compared to net income of $17.1 million in the same period last year. Reported diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 30, 2006 decreased to $0.76 from $0.93 in the same period last year.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" and related interpretations and began expensing the grant date fair value of employee stock options. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized in net income for employee stock options in the prior year. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective transition method and therefore has not restated prior periods. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R in 2006 reduced diluted earnings per share for the year by $0.02.

Mr. Richard Berman, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Stronger fourth quarter orders resulted in solid revenue growth after adjusting for last year's 14-week quarter. The higher sales level enabled us to better leverage our expenses, which is necessary to offset the impact that a shifting mix to higher priced but lower margin hard parts has on reducing our gross margin. We remain committed to making the right investments to ensure new product leadership in all of our markets. Dorman will continue to be the leader in new product development for the automotive aftermarket."

                 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
               (in thousands, except per-share amounts)

During the second quarter of 2006 the Company recorded a $3.2 million non-cash write-down for goodwill impairment ($2.9 million) and the write off of deferred tax benefits ($0.3 million) associated with the Company's Swedish operation (Scan-Tech). This press release contains non-GAAP measures which adjust current year net income and fully diluted earnings per share to exclude the impact of these charges. 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. A reconciliation of net income and fully diluted earnings per share follows:
