The results for the quarter and gross margin were primarily impacted by three items totaling $12.9 million.

Fiscal 2020 Guidance

Motorcar Parts of America expects adjusted net sales for its fiscal year 2020 ending March 31 to be between $552 million and $562 million, representing between 16 and 18 percent organic growth year over year -- ramping up throughout the year.  Adjusted gross margin for fiscal year 2020 is expected to be approximately 27 percent, impacted by product mix.  Profitability and cash flow are expected to improve on a year-over-year basis. For new business, the company is unable to reconcile adjusted net sales and adjusted gross margin to net sales and gross margin on a GAAP basis, because GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation is dependent upon predicting both returns and stock adjustment accruals, and customer allowances.

Revenue Recognition

Effective April 1, 2018, the company adopted Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, (“ASC 606”) using the full retrospective transition method. As a result, the prior-year three and twelve month periods ended March 31, 2018 were revised to reflect the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standards.  The effects of the adoption were a decrease of $472,000 to previously reported revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and an increase of $557,000 to previously reported revenues for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018.  The revenue impact was accompanied by changes to cost of goods sold – a decrease of $159,000 to previously reported cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and an increase of $66,000 to previously reported cost of goods sold for the twelve months ended March 31, 2018.

Also, as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 and the resultant changes in company policy, the effect on the consolidated balance sheets was to create contract asset and contract liability accounts to document those balance sheet items being impacted by the new revenue recognition requirements.  Additional information will be available in the company’s Form 10-K filing.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

This press release includes the following non-GAAP measures - adjusted net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin, which are not measures of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as alternatives to net sales, net income (loss), EBITDA, income from operations, gross profit or gross profit margin as a measure of financial performance.  The Company believes these non-GAAP measures, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provide useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company’s results of operations.  However, these non-GAAP measures have significant limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of the company’s business as determined in accordance with GAAP.  Therefore, investors should consider non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP.  For a reconciliation of adjusted net sales, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted gross profit and adjusted gross margin to their corresponding GAAP measures, see the financial tables included in this press release.  Also, refer to our Form 8-K to which this release is attached, and other filings we make with the SEC, for further information regarding these adjustments.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the Company has included the following non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in this press release and in the webcast to discuss the Company’s financial results for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018. Each of these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures is adjusted from results based on GAAP to exclude certain expenses and gains.  Among other things, the Company uses such non-GAAP adjusted financial measures in addition to and in conjunction with corresponding GAAP measures to help analyze the performance of its business.

These non-GAAP adjusted financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations and the factors and trends affecting the Company’s business. However, these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Income statement information for the three and twelve months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:
