Management Commentary

David Meniane, Chief Executive Officer, commented: "In the first quarter of 2026, we reached a milestone we have been building toward for five consecutive quarters: our first positive adjusted EBITDA since Q1 2024. Adjusted EBITDA was positive $585,000, a swing of nearly $7 million from the same quarter last year, driven by deliberate action across every line item in the P&L: advertising efficiency, customer acquisition quality, lifecycle monetization, warehouse operations, offshore savings, and a fixed cost base that is now mostly embedded in our run rate. The work is not done. But the evidence is in the results, and the momentum is real.

The initiatives are executing. A-Premium is approaching $45 million in annualized run rate revenue, up from $35 million at year-end. The initial 7,000 JC Whitney SKUs are live on Amazon and generating sales, with revenue growing week over week. We launched the CarParts.com Mastercard. We opened a branch office in Taipei to deepen three decades of supplier relationships that represent approximately 70% of our purchases. Spark and Zaap, our AI systems for customer experience and internal operations, are live. And we are running next day delivery out of 2 of our 4 warehouses today, with a target of 300,000 packages through our last mile network over the next 12 to 24 months.

We have always been two companies in one: a digital layer and a physical asset base. In a world where AI is commoditizing digital execution, the physical infrastructure (our distribution network, our last mile capability, and our global supply chain) becomes the moat. That is where we are investing. We ended the quarter with $38 million in cash and no revolver debt. The path to sustained free cash flow runs through levers we control, and we are executing against them today."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Net sales in the first quarter of 2026 were $132.0 million, down 10% from $147.4 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by the Company’s efforts to increase profitability by rationalizing marketing spend.

Gross profit was $42.9 million in the first quarter compared to $47.3 million in the year-ago quarter, with gross margin increasing 40 basis points to 32.5%. The increase was primarily driven by product mix and favorable freight costs.

Total operating expenses in the first quarter were $46.0 million compared to $62.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by favorable payroll costs due to headcount reductions, favorable marketing spend and a gain on sale of our Philippines subsidiary.

Net loss in the first quarter was ($1.9) million compared to a net loss of ($15.3) million in the year-ago quarter, primarily driven by lower operating expenses and the increase in gross margin.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter was $0.6 million compared to ($6.2) million in the year-ago quarter.

​

On April 4, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $37.9 million, $25.3 million of convertible notes payable balance and no revolver loan balance, compared to a $25.8 million cash balance, $25.2 million of convertible notes payable balance and no revolver loan balance at prior fiscal year-end January 3, 2026.
