<b>Dorman Products, Inc. Reports Sales and Earnings for the First Quarter Ended March 28, 2009</b>
<p>COLMAR, PA -- (Marketwire - May       01, 2009) -  Dorman Products, Inc. (NASDAQ: DORM) today
announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 28, 2009.
</p>
<p>
Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange and the sale of our
Canadian subsidiary, revenues increased 10.6% over the prior year.
Reported sales increased 7.9% to $86.4 million for the three months ended
March 28, 2009 from $80.1 million last year.  The revenue growth was driven
by overall strong demand for our products and higher new product sales.
</p>
<p>
Net income in the first quarter of 2009 was $4.6 million compared to net
income of $2.7 million in the same period last year.  Diluted earnings per
share were up 67% in the first quarter of 2009 to $0.25 compared to $0.15
in the same period last year.
</p>
<p>
For the thirteen weeks ended March 28, 2009 and March 29, 2008:
</p>
<p>
<pre>
--  Gross profit margin was 32.9% in 2009 compared to 30.8% in the prior
    year.  The increase is primarily the result of lower charges for excess and
    obsolete inventory in 2009 and a reduction of $0.8 million in air freight
    costs over last year.
--  Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2009 increased 4.8% to
    $20.9 million from $20.0 million in 2008.
--  Interest expense, net, decreased to $0.1 million in 2009 from $0.3
    million in 2008 due to lower borrowing levels and interest rates.
--  Our effective tax rate decreased to 38.3% from 39.7% in the prior
    year.  Our 2008 tax provision included a $0.1 million valuation allowance
    on the deferred tax assets of our Canadian subsidiary which resulted in a
    higher effective tax rate last year.
    </pre>
</p>
<p>
Mr. Richard Berman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We
experienced strong demand for our products from a number of customers
during the first quarter, which resulted in solid sales growth.  The
improvement in our order patterns along with recently-reported strong sales
growth reported by some of our customers is encouraging.  Operating cash
flow during the quarter was $8.5 million as several recently-implemented
inventory management changes have helped us improve inventory turns.  As a
result we ended the quarter with just $3.2 million in net debt; putting us
in a position to capitalize on growth opportunities that may present
themselves in this difficult economic environment.  We continue to invest
heavily in new product development to ensure that we maintain our
leadership position in the aftermarket with innovative new products and
solutions for our customers and end users."
