"We are pleased to report that our second quarter sales growth represents the sixth consecutive quarter of double digit sales growth. Our continued investments in new product development, and our customers' acceptance of these products, have led to the strong financial results," said Mr. Steven Berman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "During the first half of 2014, we released nearly 2,450 new parts, a 44% increase over the first half of 2013 levels, and nearly equal to the total new part introductions in all of 2012."
Gross profit margin was 37.2% for the second quarter ended June 28, 2014, compared to 39.7% for the same period last year. The decline in margin is primarily the result of competitive pricing pressures and mix shift that resulted in lower overall net selling prices, provisions for excess and obsolete inventory that were $1.5 million higher during the quarter, and higher transportation costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8% in 2014 to $36.3 million from $33.6 million in 2013, but declined as a percentage of sales to 18.7% from 20.3%. Cost increases were primarily the result of higher variable costs associated with the 21% sales growth and additional investments in product development.
For the six months ended June 28, 2014, sales increased 20% over the prior year period to $379.7 million from $316.7 million last year. Net income in 2014 increased 22% to $46.8 million from $38.4 million in the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share in 2014 rose 22% to $1.28 from $1.05 in the same period last year.
"Our sales growth rate in the first half of 2014 is partially the result of large stocking initiatives from certain customers along with a larger than normal level of product line updates. We don't expect this pattern to continue in the second half of the year, and believe that sales growth for the remainder of the year will return to more historic low double digit rates," said Mr. Berman.
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors has authorized an increase to the existing share repurchase program from $30 million to $50 million. During the second quarter ended June 28, 2014, Dorman repurchased 158,300 shares of its common stock for $8.4 million, at an average price of $52.80 per share. During the first six months of 2014, the Company has repurchased 161,900 shares of its common stock for $8.5 million, at an average price of $52.75 per share. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter and through July 28, 2014, the Company repurchased an additional 298,700 shares of its common stock for $14.5 million, at an average price of $48.68 per share.
