GLOSSARY

The following terms are frequently used in the text of this report and have the meanings indicated below.

“Used Core” — An automobile part which has previously been used in the operation of a vehicle. Generally, the Used Core is an original equipment (“OE”) automobile part installed by the vehicle manufacturer and subsequently removed for replacement. Used Cores contain salvageable parts, which are an important raw material in the remanufacturing process. We obtain most Used Cores by providing credits to our customers for Used Cores returned to us under our core exchange programs. Our customers receive these Used Cores from consumers who deliver a Used Core to obtain credit from our customers upon the purchase of a newly remanufactured automobile part. When sufficient Used Cores are not available from our customers, we purchase Used Cores from core brokers, who are in the business of buying and selling Used Cores. The Used Cores purchased from core brokers or returned to us by our customers under the core exchange programs, and which have been physically received by us, are part of our raw material and work-in-process inventory. Used Cores returned by consumers to our customers but not yet returned to us are classified as contract assets until we physically receive these Used Cores.

“Remanufactured Core” — The Used Core underlying an automobile part that has gone through the remanufacturing process and through that process has become part of a newly remanufactured automobile part. The remanufacturing process takes a Used Core, breaks it down into its component parts, replaces those components that cannot be reused and reassembles the salvageable components of the Used Core and additional new components into a remanufactured automobile part. Remanufactured Cores held for sale at our customer locations are included in long-term contract assets. The Remanufactured Core portion of stock adjustment returns are classified as contract assets until we physically receive them.

7. Debt

The Company has $268,620,000 in senior secured financing, (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a $238,620,000 revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility”), subject to certain restrictions, and a $30,000,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans were repaid during the year ended March 31, 2024. The Credit Facility matures on December 12, 2028. The lenders have a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. In June 2024, the Company enrolled in a feature with its lenders, under which the Company sweeps its cash collections to pay down its revolving facility and borrows on-demand to fund payments. This feature is expected to reduce interest expense on borrowings under the Credit Facility.

The Company had $94,802,000 and $128,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Facility at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, $7,047,000 was outstanding for letters of credit at December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, after certain contractual adjustments, $127,962,000 was available under the Revolving Facility. The interest rate on the Company’s Revolving Facility was 7.66% and 8.43%, at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if undrawn availability is less than 22.5% of the aggregate revolving commitments and a specified minimum undrawn availability. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, undrawn availability was greater than the 22.5% threshold, therefore, the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant was not required to be tested.

Convertible Notes

On March 31, 2023, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement, as amended, (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Bison Capital Partners VI-A, L.P. (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P., as the purchaser representative (the “Purchaser Representative”) for the issuance and sale of $32,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due in 2029 (the “Convertible Notes”), which was used for general corporate purposes. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, compounded annually, and payable (i) in-kind or (ii) in cash, annually in arrears on April 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2024. In April 2024, non-cash accrued interest on the Convertible Notes of $3,209,000 was paid in-kind and is included in the principal amount of Convertible Notes at December 31, 2024. The Convertible Notes have an initial conversion price of $15.00 per share of common stock (“Conversion Option”). Unless and until the Company delivers a redemption notice, the Purchasers of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their option. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock. Except in the case of the occurrence of a fundamental transaction, as defined in the form of convertible promissory note, the Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to March 31, 2026. After March 31, 2026, the Company may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes for a cash purchase (the “Company Redemption”) price. The effective interest rate was 18.3% as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

The Company’s Convertible Notes are comprised of the following:

	December 31, 2024			March 31, 2024

Principal amount of Convertible Notes	$	35,209,000		$	32,000,000
Less: unamortized debt discount attributed to Compound Net Derivative Liability		(6,829,000	)		(7,576,000	)
Less: unamortized debt discount attributed to debt issuance costs		(953,000	)		(1,058,000	)
Carrying amount of the Convertible Notes		27,427,000			23,366,000
Plus: Compound Net Derivative Liability		4,950,000			7,410,000
Net carrying amount of Convertible Notes, related party	$	32,377,000		$	30,776,000

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into common stock warrants (the “Warrants”) with the Purchasers, which mature on March 30, 2029. The fair value of the Warrants, using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model, was zero at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

The Company Redemption option has been combined with the Conversion Option as a compound net derivative liability (the “Compound Net Derivative Liability”). The Compound Net Derivative Liability has been recorded within convertible note, related party in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024. The fair value of the Conversion Option and the Company Redemption option using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model was a liability of $5,600,000 and $9,800,000, and an asset of $650,000 and $2,390,000 at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $260,000 and a loss of $1,160,000, respectively, as the change in fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $2,460,000 and a loss of $1,690,000, respectively, as the change in fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The Convertible Notes also contain additional features, such as, default interest and options related to a fundamental transaction, which were not separately accounted for as the value of such features were not material at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

Interest expense related to the Convertible Notes is as follows:

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	December 31,				December 31,
	2024		2023		2024		2023

Contractual interest expense	$	880,000	$	800,000	$	2,640,000	$	2,400,000
Accretion of debt discount		260,000		217,000		747,000		626,000
Amortization of debt issuance costs		37,000		30,000		105,000		87,000
Total interest expense	$	1,177,000	$	1,047,000	$	3,492,000	$	3,113,000

There are no future payments required under the Convertible Notes prior to their maturity, therefore, the principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus interest payable in-kind, assuming no early redemption or conversion has occurred, of $56,704,000 would be paid on March 30, 2029.

8. Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities are comprised of the following:

Total long-term contract liabilities	$	231,962,000	$	212,068,000

9. Leases

The Company leases various facilities in North America and Asia under operating leases expiring through August 2033. The Company has material nonfunctional currency leases that could have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. As required for other monetary liabilities, lessees remeasure foreign currency-denominated lease liabilities using the exchange rate at each reporting date, but the lease assets are nonmonetary assets measured at historical rates and are not affected by subsequent changes in the exchange rates. In connection with the remeasurement of these leases, the Company recorded a loss of $1,875,000 and a gain of $2,608,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In connection with the remeasurement of these leases, the Company recorded a loss of $11,562,000 and a gain of $4,430,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company ceased manufacturing operations at its Torrance, California facility as a part of its on-going strategy to utilize its global footprint to enhance its operating efficiencies. This represented a significant change to the use of this right-of-use asset, which required a reassessment of the Company’s asset groups. The Company concluded that this right-of-use asset was no longer part of the Hard Parts asset group. The Company performed a test for recoverability (using Level 3 inputs) which resulted in no impairment at December 31, 2024. Any future changes to the assumptions and estimates from those anticipated may affect the carrying value of right-of-use assets and could result in impairment charges.

10. Accounts Receivable Discount Programs

The Company uses accounts receivable discount programs offered by certain customers and their respective banks. Under these programs, the Company may sell those customers’ receivables to those banks at a discount to be agreed upon at the time the receivables are sold. These discount arrangements allow the Company to accelerate receipt of payment on customers’ receivables.

11. Supplier Finance Programs

The Company utilizes a supplier finance program, which allows certain of the Company’s suppliers to sell their receivables due from the Company to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institutions. The program is administered by a third party. Commitments from participating financial institutions that are available to suppliers under this program increased to $27,000,000 from $15,000,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The Company has no economic interest in the sale of these receivables and no direct relationship with the financial institution. Payments to the third-party administrator are based on services rendered and are not related to the volume or number of financing agreements between suppliers, financial institution, and the third-party administrator. The Company is not a party to agreements negotiated between participating suppliers and the financial institution. The Company's obligations to its suppliers, including amounts due and payment terms, are not affected by a supplier's decision to participate in this program. The Company does not provide guarantees and there are no assets pledged to the financial institution or the third-party administrator for the committed payment in connection with this program. At December 31, 2024, the Company had $31,809,000 of outstanding supplier obligations confirmed as valid under this program, included in accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

12. Net Income (Loss) per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share includes the effect, if any, from the potential exercise or conversion of securities, such as stock options, Warrants, and Convertible Notes (as defined in Note 7), which would result in the issuance of incremental shares of common stock to the extent such impact is not anti-dilutive.

The following presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	December 31,					December 31,
	2024		2023			2024			2023

Net income (loss)	$	2,291,000	$	(47,214,000	)	$	(18,748,000	)	$	(50,582,000	)
Basic shares		19,783,170		19,634,306			19,739,481			19,580,960
Effect of potentially dilutive securities		633,788		-			-			-
Diluted shares		20,416,958		19,634,306			19,739,481			19,580,960
Net income (loss) per share:
Basic net income (loss) per share	$	0.12	$	(2.40	)	$	(0.95	)	$	(2.58	)
Diluted net income (loss) per share	$	0.11	$	(2.40	)	$	(0.95	)	$	(2.58	)

Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted net income per share or decreasing diluted net loss per share are considered to be anti-dilutive and as such, these shares are not included in calculating diluted net loss per share. For the three months ended December 31, 2024, there were 15,526 of potential common shares not included in the calculation of diluted net income per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended December 31, 2024, there were 2,516,729 of potential common shares not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, there were 2,130,615, respectively, of potential common shares not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

In addition, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 there were 2,523,304 and 2,464,622, respectively, of potential common shares not included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share under the “if-converted” method for the Convertible Notes because their effect was anti-dilutive. In addition, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, there were 2,293,926, respectively, of potential common shares not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share under the “if-converted” method for the Convertible Notes because their effect was anti-dilutive. The potential common shares related to the Warrants issued in connection with the Convertible Notes (see Note 7) are anti-dilutive until they become exercisable and as of December 31, 2024, the Warrants were not exercisable.

13. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense of $1,115,000, or an effective tax rate of 32.7%, and $37,281,000, or an effective tax rate of (375.3)%, for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $1,849,000, or an effective tax rate of (10.9)%, and $37,226,000, or an effective tax rate of (278.7)%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, was primarily impacted by (i) foreign income taxed at rates that are different from the federal statutory rate, (ii) the change in valuation allowance, and (iii) specific jurisdictions that the Company does not expect to recognize the benefit of losses. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily impacted by the establishment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that were not expected to be realized.

Management continues to monitor its valuation allowance position in its various jurisdictions. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, past financial performance, and tax planning strategies. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result, the Company maintained its valuation allowance. The Company will continue to monitor the need for a valuation allowance in future periods, considering any changes in circumstances that may affect the realizability of deferred tax assets.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns for the U.S. federal, various state, and foreign jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. The Company was previously under examination by the State of California for fiscal years ended March 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, this audit was concluded with no changes required to the Company’s filed income tax returns. At December 31, 2024, the Company remains subject to examination from the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and forward. The Company believes no significant changes in the unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next 12 months.

14. Financial Risk Management and Derivatives

Purchases and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which are primarily related to the Company’s overseas facilities, expose the Company to market risk from material movements in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies. The Company’s primary risk exposure is from fluctuations in the value of the Mexican peso and to a lesser extent the Chinese yuan. To mitigate these risks, the Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to exchange U.S. dollars for these foreign currencies. The extent to which forward foreign currency exchange contracts are used, is modified periodically in response to the Company’s estimate of market conditions and the terms and length of anticipated requirements.

The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to reduce the impact of foreign currency fluctuations and not to engage in currency speculation. The use of derivative financial instruments allows the Company to reduce its exposure to the risk that the eventual cash outflow resulting from funding the expenses of the foreign operations will be materially affected by changes in exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes. The Company designates forward foreign currency exchange contracts for forecasted expenditure requirements to fund foreign operations.

The Company had forward foreign currency exchange contracts with a U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of $50,947,000 and $54,092,000 at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. These contracts generally have a term of one year or less, at rates agreed at the inception of the contracts. The counterparty to these derivative transactions is a major financial institution with investment grade credit rating; however, the Company is exposed to credit risk with this institution. The credit risk is limited to the potential unrealized gains (which offset currency fluctuations adverse to the Company) in any such contract should this counterparty fail to perform as contracted. Any changes in the fair values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included in foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following shows the effect of derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

	Foreign Exchange Impact of Lease Liabilities and Forward Contracts
	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
Derivatives Not Designated as	December 31,					December 31,
Hedging Instruments	2024			2023		2024			2023
(Loss) gain from forward foreign currency exchange contracts	$	(585,000	)	$	541,000	$	(7,404,000	)	$	(1,771,000	)

The fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts of $4,888,000 is included in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2024. The fair value of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts of $2,516,000 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024. The changes in the fair values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts are included in foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

15. Fair Value Measurements

The following summarizes financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value, by level within the fair value hierarchy:

	December 31, 2024								March 31, 2024

Short-term Investments and Deferred Compensation

The Company’s short-term investments, which fund its deferred compensation liabilities, consist of investments in mutual funds. These investments are classified as Level 1 as the shares of these mutual funds trade with sufficient frequency and volume to enable the Company to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are primarily measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers (See Note 14).

Compound Net Derivative Liability

The Company estimates the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability (see Note 7) using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model at the balance sheet date. The Monte Carlo simulation model requires the input of subjective assumptions including the expected volatility of the underlying stock. These subjective assumptions are based on both historical and other information. Changes in the values assumed and used in the model can materially affect the estimate of fair value. This amount is recorded within convertible notes, related party in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024. Any changes in the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability are recorded in change in fair value of compound net derivative liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability:

	December 31, 2024			March 31, 2024
Risk free interest rate		4.35	%		4.36	%
Cost of equity		23.40	%		23.20	%
Weighted average cost of capital		14.40	%		14.90	%
Expected volatility of the Company's common stock		40.00	%		50.00	%
EBITDA volatility		40.00	%		40.00	%

The following summarizes the activity for Level 3 fair value measurements:

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	December 31,					December 31,
	2024			2023		2024			2023
Beginning balance	$	5,210,000		$	8,960,000	$	7,410,000		$	8,430,000
Changes in fair value of Compound Net Derivative Liability included in earnings		(260,000	)		1,160,000		(2,460,000	)		1,690,000
Ending balance	$	4,950,000		$	10,120,000	$	4,950,000		$	10,120,000

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company had no significant measurements of assets or liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to their initial recognition.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of the revolving loan and other long-term liabilities approximate their fair value based on the variable nature of interest rates and current rates for instruments with similar characteristics. At December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes was $32,377,000 and $30,776,000, respectively (see Note 7). The estimated fair value of the Company’s Convertible Notes was $36,168,000 and $38,276,000 using Level 3 inputs at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

16. Share-based Payments

Stock Options

The Company did not grant any options to purchase shares of its common stock during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. The Company granted options to purchase 132,133 shares of common stock during the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

The following assumptions were used to derive the weighted average fair value of the stock options granted:

	Nine Months Ended
	December 31,
	2023
Weighted average risk free interest rate		4.53	%
Weighted average expected holding period (years)		6.57
Weighted average expected volatility		51.29	%
Weighted average expected dividend yield		-
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	3.75

The following is a summary of stock option transactions:

	Number of			Weighted Average
	Shares			Exercise Price
Outstanding at March 31, 2024		1,108,017		$	20.29
Granted		-		$	-
Exercised		-		$	-
Forfeited/Cancelled		(17,723	)	$	20.13
Expired		(36,733	)	$	22.93
Outstanding at December 31, 2024		1,053,561		$	20.20

At December 31, 2024, options to purchase 87,288 shares of common stock were unvested at a weighted average exercise price of $9.32.

At December 31, 2024, there was $282,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option awards, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 1.7 years.

Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)

During the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted 453,453 and 100,624, respectively, of time-based vesting RSUs, based on the closing market price on the grant date.

The following is a summary of non-vested RSUs:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at March 31, 2024		240,923		$	12.23
Granted		453,453		$	6.58
Vested		(184,850	)	$	12.02
Forfeited/Cancelled		(4,069	)	$	8.72
Outstanding at December 31, 2024		505,457		$	7.26

At December 31, 2024, there was $2,819,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 2.1 years.

Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”)

During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted 258,983 PSUs (at target performance levels), which cliff vest after a three-year performance period, subject to continued employment. The number of shares earned at the end of the three-year performance period will vary, based only on actual performance, from 0% to 150% of the target number of PSUs granted depending on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) percentile rank relative to that of a peer group over the performance period. TSR is measured based on a comparison of the closing price on the first trading day of the performance period and the average closing price over the last 30 trading days of the performance period. TSR is considered a market condition because it measures the Company’s return against the performance of the Russell 3000, excluding companies classified as financials and real estate and companies with a market capitalization of more than $600 million, over a given period of time.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company granted 585,583 PSUs, which vest within a three-year period, subject to continued employment, as follows: (i) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $10.00 per share, then 1/3 of the grant will vest, (ii) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share then the next 1/3 of the grant will vest, and (iii) if the stock price is greater than or equal to $20.00 per share then the final 1/3 of the grant will vest. Recipients are eligible to vest in between 50% and 150% of the third tranche by achieving a stock price between $17.50 and $25.00 per share (each stock price target must be met for 30 consecutive trading days).

The Company calculated the fair value of these PSUs individually for each tranche using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model at the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized over the estimated derived service period. Compensation cost related to these awards will not be adjusted even if the market condition is not met. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in determining the fair value of these awards subject to market conditions:

	Nine Months Ended
	December 31,
	2024			2023
Risk free interest rate		4.21-4.45	%		4.32-4.35	%
Expected life in years		3.0			0.2-1.8
Expected volatility of the Company's common stock		59.8-62.8	%		54.2-55.1	%
Average correlation coefficient of peer companies		16.5-17.4	%		-	%
Expected dividend yield		-			-
Grant date fair value	$	8.65-8.88		$	3.57-8.37

The following is a summary of non-vested PSUs:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at March 31, 2024		773,923		$	7.73
Granted (1)		269,935		$	8.74
Vested		(32,848	)	$	22.27
Forfeited/Cancelled		(53,299	)	$	22.89
Outstanding at December 31, 2024		957,711		$	6.83

(1)

Granted includes 10,952 additional PSUs issued in connection with the vesting of the Company’s June 2021 PSU grant based on actual Company performance metrics exceeding target performance levels.

At December 31, 2024, there was $2,248,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards, which will be recognized over the weighted average remaining vesting period of approximately 2.2 years.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Warranty Returns

The Company allows its customers to return goods that their consumers have returned to them, whether or not the returned item is defective (“warranty returns”). The Company accrues an estimate of its exposure to warranty returns based on a historical analysis of the level of this type of return as a percentage of unit sales. Amounts charged to expense for these warranty returns are considered in arriving at the Company’s net sales.

The following summarizes the changes in the warranty returns:

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	December 31,						Dece,ber 31,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Balance at beginning of period	$	16,649,000		$	16,197,000		$	19,326,000		$	19,830,000
Charged to expense		38,116,000			34,532,000			113,212,000			102,666,000
Amounts processed		(35,390,000	)		(34,599,000	)		(113,163,000	)		(106,366,000	)
Balance at end of period	$	19,375,000		$	16,130,000		$	19,375,000		$	16,130,000

At December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company’s total warranty return accrual was $19,375,000 and $19,326,000, respectively, of which $4,840,000 and $5,667,000, respectively, was included in the customer returns RGA issued within accounts receivable—net and $14,535,000 and $13,659,000, respectively, was included in the customer finished goods returns accrual in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Contingencies

The Company is subject to various lawsuits and claims. In addition, government agencies and self-regulatory organizations have the ability to conduct periodic examinations of and administrative proceedings regarding the Company’s business, and its compliance with law, code, and regulations related to matters including, but not limited to, environmental, information security, taxes, levies, tariffs and such. The Company has an immaterial amount accrued related to these exposures to various lawsuits and claims.

20. Related Party Transactions

Lease

In December 2022, the Company entered into an operating lease for its 35,000 square foot manufacturing, warehouse, and office facility in Ontario, Canada, with a company co-owned by a member of management. The lease, which commenced January 1, 2023, has an initial term of one year with a base rent of approximately $27,000 per month and includes options to renew for up to four years. In November 2023, the Company exercised one of these options to renew for an additional one-year period. In February 2025, the Company exercised a second extension term for an additional three-year period with a base rent of approximately $30,000 per month, which took effect on January 1, 2025. The rent expense recorded for the related party lease was $81,000 and $243,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Convertible Note and Election of Director

In connection with the issuance and sale of the Company’s Convertible Notes on March 31, 2023 (see Note 7), the Board appointed Douglas Trussler, a co-founder of Bison Capital, to the Board. Mr. Trussler’s compensation is consistent with the Company’s previously disclosed standard compensation practices for non-employee directors, which are described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement, filed with the SEC on July 26, 2024.

Management Overview

With a scalable infrastructure and abundant growth opportunities, we are focused on growing our aftermarket business in the North American marketplace and growing our leadership position in the test solutions and diagnostic equipment market by providing innovative and intuitive solutions to our customers. Our investments in global infrastructure and human resources during the past few years reflects the significant expansion of manufacturing capacity to support multiple product lines. These investments included (i) a 410,000 square foot distribution center, (ii) two buildings totaling 372,000 square feet for remanufacturing and core sorting of brake calipers, and (iii) the realignment of production at our original 312,000 square foot facility in Mexico. In addition, during the nine months ended December 31, 2024, we ceased manufacturing at our Torrance, California facility, reduced our headcount, and incurred certain transition expenses in connection with our on-going strategy to utilize our global footprint to enhance operating efficiencies and expect to realize future benefit from these cost-saving measures.

Segment Reporting

Our three operating segments are as follows:

●

Heavy Duty, which includes non-discretionary automotive aftermarket replacement hard parts for heavy-duty truck, industrial, marine, and agricultural applications.

Our Hard Parts operating segment meets the criteria of a reportable segment. The Test Solutions and Diagnostic Equipment and Heavy Duty segments are not material, are not required to be separately reported, and are included within the “all other” category.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

The following summarizes certain key consolidated operating data:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2024		2023
Cash flow provided by operations	$	34,357,000	$	53,615,000
Finished goods turnover (annualized) (1)		3.7		3.6

(1)

Annualized finished goods turnover for the fiscal quarter is calculated by multiplying cost of goods sold for the quarter by 4 and dividing the result by the average between beginning and ending non-core finished goods inventory values for the fiscal quarter. We believe this provides a useful measure of our ability to turn our inventory into revenues.

Net Sales and Gross Profit

The following summarizes net sales and gross profit:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2024			2023
Net sales	$	186,176,000		$	171,862,000
Cost of goods sold		141,294,000			141,819,000
Gross profit		44,882,000			30,043,000
Gross margin		24.1	%		17.5	%

Net Sales. Our consolidated net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $186,176,000, which represents an increase of $14,314,000, or 8.3%, from the three months ended December 31, 2023 of $171,862,000. Our sales for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2023 reflect continued strong demand for rotating electrical and brake-related products.

Gross Profit. Our consolidated gross profit was $44,882,000, or 24.1% of consolidated net sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared with $30,043,000, or 17.5% of consolidated net sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in our gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2024 reflects the benefit of our on-going strategy to utilize our global footprint to enhance operating efficiencies and our cost-saving initiatives. We expect to continue to realize benefits from these initiatives.

In addition, our gross margin for the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2023 was impacted by (i) amortization of core and finished goods premiums paid to customers related to new business of $2,664,000 and $2,838,000, respectively and (ii) the non-cash quarterly revaluation of cores that are part of the finished goods on the customers’ shelves (which are included in contract assets) to the lower of cost or net realizable value, which resulted in a write-down of $758,000 and $1,607,000, respectively.

Operating Expenses

The following summarizes our consolidated operating expenses:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2024			2023
General and administrative	$	16,212,000		$	15,198,000
Sales and marketing		5,621,000			5,931,000
Research and development		3,008,000			2,539,000
Foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts		2,460,000			(3,149,000	)

Percent of net sales

General and administrative		8.7	%		8.8	%
Sales and marketing		3.0	%		3.5	%
Research and development		1.6	%		1.5	%
Foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts		1.3	%		(1.8	)%

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $16,212,000, which represents an increase of $1,014,000, or 6.7%, from the three months ended December 31, 2023 of $15,198,000. This increase was primarily due to a loss of $1,272,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared with a gain of $528,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2023 resulting from foreign currency exchange rates partially offset by decreased employee-related expenses.

Sales and Marketing. Our sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $5,621,000, which represents a decrease of $310,000, or 5.2%, from the three months ended December 31, 2023 of $5,931,000. This decrease was due to lower trade shows and commissions expense.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 were $3,008,000, which represents an increase of $469,000, or 18.5%, from the three months ended December 31, 2023 of $2,539,000. This increase was primarily due to increased headcount and outside consulting services.

Foreign Exchange Impact of Lease Liabilities and Forward Contracts. Our foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts were a non-cash loss of $2,460,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $3,149,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This change during the three months ended December 31, 2024 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to (i) the remeasurement of our foreign currency-denominated lease liabilities, which resulted in a non-cash loss of $1,875,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $2,608,000, respectively, due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and (ii) the forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which resulted in a non-cash loss of $585,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $541,000, respectively, due to the changes in their fair values.

Operating Income

Consolidated Operating Income. Our consolidated operating income for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $17,581,000 compared with $9,524,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due increased gross profit partially offset by our foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts, which were a non-cash loss of $2,460,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $3,149,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively and other items as discussed above.

Interest Expense

Interest Expense, net. Our interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $14,435,000, which represents a decrease of $3,862,000, or 21.1%, from interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023 of $18,297,000. This decrease was primarily due to (i) decreased utilization of accounts receivable discount programs and lower discount rates on those programs and (ii) lower average outstanding balances under our credit facility and lower interest rates.

Change in Fair Value of Compound Net Derivative Liability

Change in Fair Value of Compound Net Derivative Liability. Our change in fair value of compound net derivative liability associated with the convertible notes issued on March 31, 2023 was a non-cash gain of $260,000 compared with a non-cash loss of $1,160,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income Tax. We recorded an income tax expense of $1,115,000, or an effective tax rate of 32.7%, and $37,281,000 or an effective tax rate of (375.3)%, for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2024, was primarily impacted by (i) the change in valuation allowance, (ii) specific jurisdictions that we do not expect to recognize the benefit of losses, and (iii) foreign income taxed at rates that are different from the federal statutory rate. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily impacted by the establishment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that were not expected to be realized.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

The following summarizes certain key consolidated operating data:

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2024		2023
Cash flows provided by operations	$	36,368,000	$	48,445,000
Finished goods turnover (annualized) (1)		3.8		3.7

(1)

Annualized finished goods turnover for the fiscal period is calculated by multiplying cost of goods sold for the fiscal period by 1.33 and dividing the result by the average between beginning and ending non-core finished goods inventory values for the fiscal period. We believe this provides a useful measure of our ability to turn our inventory into revenues.

Net Sales and Gross Profit

The following summarizes net sales and gross profit:

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2024			2023
Net sales	$	564,249,000		$	528,206,000
Cost of goods sold		448,916,000			430,448,000
Gross profit		115,333,000			97,758,000
Gross margin		20.4	%		18.5	%

Net Sales. Our consolidated net sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 were $564,249,000, which represents an increase of $36,043,000, or 6.8%, from the nine months ended December 31, 2023 of $528,206,000. Our sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2023 reflect continued strong demand for rotating electrical and brake-related products. In addition, we have experienced strong demand for our test solutions and diagnostic equipment.

Gross Profit. Our consolidated gross profit was $115,333,000, or 20.4% of consolidated net sales, for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared with $97,758,000, or 18.5% of consolidated net sales, for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in our gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 reflects the benefit of our on-going strategy to utilize our global footprint to enhance operating efficiencies and our cost-saving initiatives. These increases were partially offset by (i) $3,960,000 of certain one-time expenses for onboarding new business and (ii) $1,298,000 of transition expenses in connection with our on-going strategy to utilize our global footprint to enhance operating efficiencies. We expect to continue to realize benefits from these initiatives.

In addition, our gross margin for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was impacted by (i) amortization of core and finished goods premiums paid to customers related to new business of $8,013,000 and $8,202,000, respectively and (ii) the non-cash quarterly revaluation of cores that are part of the finished goods on the customers’ shelves (which are included in contract assets) to the lower of cost or net realizable value, which resulted in a write-down of $2,316,000 and $4,380,000, respectively.

Operating Expenses

The following summarizes our consolidated operating expenses:

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2024			2023

Sales and marketing		3.0	%		3.2	%
Research and development		1.4	%		1.4	%
Foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts		3.4	%		(0.5	)%

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 were $47,934,000, which represents an increase of $5,809,000, or 13.8%, from the nine months ended December 31, 2023 of $42,125,000. This increase was primarily due to (i) a loss of $2,998,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared with a gain of $683,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2023 resulting from foreign currency exchange rates and (ii) $2,834,000 of increased severance during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 due to headcount reductions in connection with our strategy to utilize our global footprint to enhance operating efficiencies. These increases were partially offset by $1,259,000 of decreased share-based compensation expense.

Sales and Marketing. Our sales and marketing expenses were consistent at $16,904,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared with $17,038,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Research and Development. Our research and development expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 were $7,884,000, which represents an increase of $532,000, or 7.2%, from the nine months ended December 31, 2023 of $7,352,000. This increase was primarily due to increased headcount partially offset by decreased supplies.

Foreign Exchange Impact of Lease Liabilities and Forward Contracts. Our foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts were a non-cash loss of $18,966,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $2,659,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This change during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 compared with the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily due to (i) the remeasurement of our foreign currency-denominated lease liabilities, which resulted in a non-cash loss of $11,562,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $4,430,000, respectively, due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and (ii) the forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which resulted in non-cash losses of $7,404,000 and $1,771,000, respectively, due to the changes in their fair values.

Operating Income

Consolidated Operating Income. Our consolidated operating income for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $23,645,000 compared with $33,902,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due our foreign exchange impact of lease liabilities and forward contracts, which were a non-cash loss of $18,966,000 compared with a non-cash gain of $2,659,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively partially offset by higher gross profit and other items as discussed above.

Interest Expense

Interest Expense, net. Our interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $43,004,000, which represents a decrease of $2,396,000, or 5.3%, from interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 of $45,400,000. This decrease was primarily due to lower average outstanding balances under our credit facility and lower interest rates.

Change in Fair Value of Compound Net Derivative Liability

Change in Fair Value of Compound Net Derivative Liability. Our change in fair value of compound net derivative liability associated with the convertible notes issued on March 31, 2023 was a non-cash gain of $2,460,000 compared with a non-cash loss of $1,690,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt. Our loss on extinguishment of debt was $168,000 in connection with the repayment of the remaining outstanding balance of our term loans during the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income Tax. We recorded income tax expense of $1,849,000, or an effective tax rate of (10.9)%, and $37,226,000, or an effective tax rate of (278.7)%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2024, was primarily impacted by (i) foreign income taxed at rates that are different from the federal statutory rate, (ii) the change in valuation allowance, and (iii) specific jurisdictions that we do not expect to recognize the benefit of losses. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was primarily impacted by the establishment of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets that were not expected to be realized.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We had working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) of $155,693,000 and $156,034,000, a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.4:1.0, at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

In June 2024, we enrolled in a feature with our lenders, under which we sweep our cash collections to pay down our revolving facility and borrow on-demand to fund payments. This feature is expected to reduce interest expense on borrowings under the credit facility.

Our primary source of liquidity was from cash generated from operations, the use of our receivable discount programs, and credit facility during the nine months ended December 31, 2024. We believe our cash and cash equivalents, use of receivable discount programs, amounts available under our credit facility, and other sources are sufficient to satisfy our expected future liquidity needs, including lease and capital expenditure obligations over the next 12 months.

Share Repurchase Program

In August 2018, our board of directors approved an increase in our share repurchase program from $20,000,000 to $37,000,000 of our common stock. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased 268,130 shares of our common stock for $2,096,000. We did not repurchase any shares of our common stock during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2024, $20,841,000 has been utilized and $16,159,000 remains available to repurchase shares under the authorized share repurchase program, subject to the limit in our Credit Facility. We retired the 1,105,137 shares repurchased under this program through December 31, 2024. Our share repurchase program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares and shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions.

Cash Flows

The following summarizes cash flows as reflected in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2024			2023
Cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	36,368,000		$	48,445,000
Investing activities		(1,614,000	)		(420,000	)
Financing activities		(36,796,000	)		(47,646,000	)
Effect of exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents		(1,122,000	)		180,000

Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	(3,164,000	)	$	559,000

Additional selected cash flow data:
Depreciation and amortization	$	7,862,000		$	8,844,000
Capital expenditures		1,716,000			462,000

Net cash provided by operating activities was $36,368,000 and $48,445,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The changes in our operating activities were primarily impacted by (i) the pay down of our accounts payable balances, (ii) a less significant decrease in accounts receivable balances compared with the prior year, and (iii) an increase in cores that are part of the finished goods on the customers’ shelves (which are included in contract assets) due to higher sales compared with the prior year. These decreases were partially offset by inventory reduction initiatives in the current year compared with the investment in inventory in the prior year and by increased operating results (net income plus the net add-back for non-cash transactions in earnings). We continue to manage our working capital to maximize our operating cash flow.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1,614,000 and $420,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in our investing activities primarily resulted from increased capital expenditures.

Net cash used in financing activities was $36,796,000 and $47,646,000 during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in our financing activities primarily resulted from the repayment of our term loans in the prior year.

Capital Resources

Credit Facility

We have $268,620,000 in senior secured financing (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Facility”) consisting of a $238,620,000 revolving loan facility (the “Revolving Facility”), subject to certain restrictions, and a $30,000,000 term loan facility (the “Term Loans”). The Term Loans were repaid during the year ended March 31, 2024. The Credit Facility matures on December 12, 2028. The lenders have a security interest in substantially all of our assets. In June 2024, we enrolled in a feature with our lenders, under which we sweep our cash collections to pay down our revolving facility and borrow on-demand to fund payments. This feature is expected to reduce interest expense on borrowings under the Credit Facility.

We had $94,802,000 and $128,000,000 outstanding under the Revolving Facility at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. In addition, $7,047,000 was outstanding for letters of credit at December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, after certain contractual adjustments, $127,962,000 was available under the Revolving Facility. The interest rate on our Revolving Facility was 7.66% and 8.43%, at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

The Credit Facility requires us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio if undrawn availability is less than 22.5% of the aggregate revolving commitments and a specified minimum undrawn availability. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024, undrawn availability was greater than the 22.5% threshold, therefore, the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant was not required to be tested.

Convertible Notes

On March 31, 2023, we entered into a note purchase agreement, as amended, (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) with Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P. and Bison Capital Partners VI-A, L.P. (collectively, the “Purchasers”) and Bison Capital Partners VI, L.P., as the purchaser representative (the “Purchaser Representative”) for the issuance and sale of $32,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of convertible notes due in 2029 (the “Convertible Notes”), which was used for general corporate purposes. The Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, compounded annually, and payable (i) in-kind or (ii) in cash, annually in arrears on April 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2024. In April 2024, non-cash accrued interest on the Convertible Notes of $3,209,000 was paid in-kind and is included in the principal amount of Convertible Notes at December 31, 2024. The Convertible Notes have an initial conversion price of approximately $15.00 per share of common stock. (“Conversion Option”). Unless and until we deliver a redemption notice, the Purchasers of the Convertible Notes may convert their Convertible Notes at any time at their option. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes will be settled in shares of our common stock. Except in the case of the occurrence of a fundamental transaction, as defined in the form of convertible promissory note, we may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to March 31, 2026. After March 31, 2026, we may redeem all or part of the Convertible Notes for a cash purchase (the “Company Redemption”) price. The effective interest rate was 18.3% as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

In connection with the Note Purchase Agreement, we entered into common stock warrants (the “Warrants”) with the Purchasers, which mature on March 30, 2029. The fair value of the Warrants, using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model, was zero at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024.

The Company Redemption option has been combined with the Conversion Option as a compound net derivative liability (the “Compound Net Derivative Liability”). The Compound Net Derivative Liability has been recorded within convertible note, related party in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024. The fair value of the Conversion Option and the Company Redemption option using Level 3 inputs and the Monte Carlo simulation model was a liability of $5,600,000 and $9,800,000, and an asset of $650,000 and $2,390,000 at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. During the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a gain of $260,000 and a loss of $1,160,000, respectively, as the change in fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded a gain of $2,460,000 and a loss of $1,690,000, respectively, as the change in fair value of the Compound Net Derivative Liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounts Receivable Discount Programs

We use accounts receivable discount programs offered by certain customers and their respective banks. Under these programs, we have options to sell those customers’ receivables to those banks at a discount to be agreed upon at the time the receivables are sold. These discount arrangements allow us to accelerate receipt of payment on customers’ receivables. While these arrangements have reduced our working capital needs, there can be no assurance that these programs will continue in the future. Interest expense resulting from these programs would increase if interest rates rise, if utilization of these discounting arrangements expands, if customers extend their payment to us, or if the discount period is extended to reflect more favorable payment terms to customers.

The following is a summary of the accounts receivable discount programs:

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2024			2023
Receivables discounted	$	488,505,000		$	465,073,000
Weighted average number of days collection was accelerated		342			334
Annualized weighted average discount rate		6.3	%		6.8	%
Amount of discount recognized as interest expense	$	29,202,000		$	29,395,000

Supplier Finance Programs

We utilize a supplier finance program, which allows certain of our suppliers to sell their receivables due from us to participating financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institutions. The program is administered by a third party. Commitments from participating financial institutions that are available to suppliers under this program increased to $27,000,000 from $15,000,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2024. We have no economic interest in the sale of these receivables and no direct relationship with the financial institution. Payments to the third-party administrator are based on services rendered and are not related to the volume or number of financing agreements between suppliers, financial institution, and the third-party administrator. We are not a party to agreements negotiated between participating suppliers and the financial institution. Our obligations to our suppliers, including amounts due and payment terms, are not affected by a supplier's decision to participate in this program. We do not provide guarantees and there are no assets pledged to the financial institution or the third-party administrator for the committed payment in connection with this program. At December 31, 2024, we had $31,809,000 of outstanding supplier obligations confirmed as valid under this program, included in accounts payable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Capital Expenditures and Commitments

Capital Expenditures

Our total capital expenditures were $2,531,000 and $559,000 for nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These capital expenditures include (i) cash paid for the purchase of plant and equipment plant, (ii) equipment acquired under finance leases, and (iii) non-cash capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 primarily include the purchase of equipment for our current operations. We expect to incur approximately $5,000,000 of capital expenditures primarily to support our global growth initiatives and current operations during fiscal 2025. We have used and expect to continue using our working capital and additional capital lease obligations to finance these capital expenditures.

Related Party Transactions

Lease

In December 2022, we entered into an operating lease for our 35,000 square foot manufacturing, warehouse, and office facility in Ontario, Canada, with a company co-owned by a member of management. The lease, which commenced January 1, 2023, had an initial term of one year with a base rent of approximately $27,000 per month and included options to renew for up to four years. In November 2023, we exercised one of these options to renew for an additional one-year period. In February 2025, we exercised a second extension term for an additional three-year period with a base rent of approximately $30,000 per month, which took effect on January 1, 2025. The rent expense recorded for the related party lease was $81,000 and $243,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Convertible Note and Election of Director

In connection with the issuance and sale of our Convertible Notes on March 31, 2023, the Board appointed Douglas Trussler, a co-founder of Bison Capital, to the Board. Mr. Trussler’s compensation is consistent with our previously disclosed standard compensation practices for non-employee directors, which are described in our Definitive Proxy Statement, filed with the SEC on July 26, 2024.

Litigation

We are subject to various lawsuits and claims. In addition, government agencies and self-regulatory organizations have the ability to conduct periodic examinations of and administrative proceedings regarding our business, and our compliance with law, code, and regulations related to all matters including but not limited to environmental, information security, taxes, levies, tariffs and such. We have an immaterial amount accrued related to these exposures to various lawsuits and claims.

Critical Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates that are presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, which was filed on June 11, 2024, and the 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2024.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

Disclosure Improvements

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. This standard was issued in response to the SEC’s disclosure update and simplification initiative, which affects a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected Topics unless otherwise indicated. The effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.

Reportable Segment Disclosures

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This standard requires us to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and are included within each reported measure of segment operating results. The standard also requires us to disclose the total amount of any other items included in segment operating results, which were not deemed to be significant expenses for separate disclosure, along with a qualitative description of the composition of these other items. In addition, the standard also requires disclosure of the CODM’s title and position, as well as detail on how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment operating results to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources. The standard also aligns interim segment reporting disclosure requirements with annual segment reporting disclosure requirements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). This standard requires us to provide further disaggregated income tax disclosures for specific categories on the effective tax rate reconciliation, as well as additional information about federal, state/local and foreign income taxes. The standard also requires us to annually disclose our income taxes paid (net of refunds received), disaggregated by jurisdiction. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The standard is to be applied prospective basis, although optional retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“DISE”) (Subtopic 220-40). This standard requires us to disclose, in the footnotes at each interim and annual reporting period, information about expenses by the nature of the expense in addition to certain disclosures about selling expenses. Entities are required to include the following relevant expense captions: (i) purchase of inventory, (ii) employee compensation, (iii) depreciation, (iv) intangible asset amortization, and (v) depreciation, depletion and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027 on a prospective basis with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statement disclosures.

Debt with Conversion and Other Options

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which seeks to clarify the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of March 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on June 11, 2024, and the 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2024.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and chief accounting officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and chief accounting officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and chief accounting officer concluded that MPA’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, applying certain estimates and judgments as required.

Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

1. Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

2. Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

3. Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in, except as noted below, the risk factors set forth in Item 1A to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, filed on June 11, 2024, and the 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on June 28, 2024.

Tariffs imposed by the United States government could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

The U.S. government has placed tariffs on certain goods imported from China and other countries and may impose new tariffs on goods imported from China and other countries, including products that we import. In retaliation, China and other countries responded by imposing tariffs on a wide range of products imported from the U.S. and by adjusting the value of its currency. The U.S government has recently imposed new tariffs on additional countries, including Mexico and Canada from which we remanufacture and distribute products, and we have operations. Such tariffs could significantly increase the cost of the products that we import and may materially impact our cost of goods and business.

If renegotiations of existing tariffs are unsuccessful or additional tariffs or trade restrictions are implemented by the U.S. or other countries in connection with a global trade war, the resulting escalation of trade tensions could have a material adverse effect on world trade and the global economy. Even in the absence of further tariffs or trade restrictions, the related uncertainty and the market's fear of an economic slowdown could lead to a decrease in consumer spending, and we may experience lower net sales than expected. Reduced net sales may result in reduced operating cash flows if we are not able to appropriately manage inventory levels or leverage expenses.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Limitation on Payment of Dividends and Share Repurchases

The Credit Facility currently permits the payment of up to $30,000,000 of dividends and share repurchases for fiscal year 2025, subject to pro forma compliance with amended financial covenants.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer

Shares repurchased during the three months ended December 31, 2024 were as follows:

We retired the 1,105,137 shares repurchased under this program through December 31, 2024.
