REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2007 RESULTS

CARSON, California, May 10, 2007 — U.S. Auto Parts Network, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRTS), a leading online provider of aftermarket auto parts and accessories, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.

Net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007 were $43.7 million, an increase of 143% from $18.0 million in the prior year period. The increase in net sales was driven by strong organic growth and from the acquisition of Partsbin, which closed in May 2006. Net profit for the first quarter of 2007 was $0.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share on approximately 26.6 million shares outstanding, compared to net income of $2.7 million, or $0.18 per diluted share on approximately 15.4 million shares outstanding for the prior year period. Diluted EPS for the first quarter of 2007 includes $2.1 million of amortization expense related to intangibles or $0.08 per diluted share. Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2007, which excludes share-based compensation expense related to option grants of $0.4 million, was $3.4 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $3.1 million in the prior year period. For a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

“We experienced accelerated growth this quarter, validating the strong market demand for our product offerings,” said Mehran Nia, President and Chief Executive Officer. “While we are pleased with our sequential growth in profitability and our baseline level of profitability, many opportunities for improvement still exist. We have a number of initiatives in place that we believe will help us continue to grow sales on an even more profitable basis in the future, the impact of which we expect to realize in the second half of this year.”

Michael McClane, Chief Financial Officer, added, “In the first quarter, we moved into the execution phase on many important initiatives ranging from projects designed to optimize pricing, improve our conversion rates and increase efficiency in our marketing expenditures to those that will allow us to take more direct control of the critical aspects of our customer relationships. All of these initiatives are designed to help us better serve our customers and to find more ways to grow our sales and increase our profitability over time.”

For a reconciliation of non-GAAP free cash flow to cash flow generated from operating activities, see Non-GAAP Financial Measures below.

Outlook for 2007

The Company is maintaining its guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 as follows:

 

  Ÿ Net sales are expected to be in the range of $170 million to $185 million.

 

  Ÿ Operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization of software and intangibles) as a percentage of net sales is expected to be in the range of 30% to 33%.

 

  Ÿ Diluted net income per share is expected to be in the range of $0.05 to $0.17 assuming approximately 29.3 million shares outstanding.

 

  - This includes the estimated impact of share-based compensation expense of $0.09 per diluted share.

 

  - This includes the estimated impact of depreciation and amortization of software and intangibles of approximately $0.31 per diluted share.

 

  Ÿ Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $14 million to $18 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Regulation G, “Conditions for Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” and other provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, define and prescribe the conditions for use of certain non-GAAP financial information. We provide “Adjusted EBITDA” and “free cash flow,” which are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted EBITDA consists of net income before (a) interest expense, net;


(b) income tax provision (benefit); (c) amortization of intangibles; and (d) depreciation and amortization, and excludes share-based compensation expense related to the Company’s grant of stock options and other equity instruments. U.S. Auto Parts defines non-GAAP free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less cash paid for purchases of fixed assets and intangibles.

The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide important supplemental information to management and investors. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of the Company’s operations that, when viewed with the GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting the Company’s business and results of operations.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance because it assists in comparisons of the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of items not directly resulting from core operations. Internally, these non-GAAP measures are also used by management for planning purposes, including the preparation of internal budgets; to allocate resources to enhance financial performance; to evaluate the effectiveness of operational strategies; and to evaluate the Company’s capacity to fund capital expenditures and to expand its business. The Company also believes that analysts and investors use Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures to evaluate the overall operating performance of companies in our industry.

Management believes that non-GAAP free cash flow provides meaningful information about the Company’s liquidity and future cash availability. Management uses this measure internally for planning purposes and resource allocations. Further, management believes that non-GAAP free cash flow provides increased consistency in financial reporting and comparability with similar companies in the Company’s industry.

These non-GAAP financial measures are used in addition to and in conjunction with results presented in accordance with GAAP and should not be relied upon to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company’s consolidated financial statements in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. In addition, the Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the non-GAAP adjustments described above, and exclusion of these items from the Company’s non-GAAP measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.
