Driver killed, truck hits historic building in Death Valley National Park
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A truck driver died Tuesday when a tractor-trailer rig ran off the road and into a building in Death Valley National Park, officials said on Wednesday.
The single-vehicle crash scattered debris and left diesel fuel on CA-190 between Stovepipe Wells and Towne Pass, closing the main road through the park for about 22 hours. The road reopened at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday.
The crash was likely caused by a brake malfunction, officials said. CA-190 has long, steep grades on both sides of Towne Pass, and truck fires have been a problem recently. An electrical contractor truck burned after descending Towne Pass on April 9. Six commercial trucks and one fifth-wheel RV caught on fire below Towne Pass in 2024.
LAST YEAR: Truck fire marks 8th of 2024 on steep Death Valley road
The truck collided with the historic stone Emigrant Ranger Station, built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps. It hit the building's porch, destroying two stone columns, damaging the roof and breaking windows, park officials said.
Stan Jones wrote the song 'Ghost Riders in the Sky' while living in the building and working as a park ranger in 1947, officials said. The building hasn't been used for several decades.
A hazmat team worked overnight to clean up the spill. The truck was carrying a load from a mine in the Searles Valley

Interest expense for the fiscal fourth quarter decreased by $2.1 million to $12.5 million from $14.6 million a year ago, impacted by lower average outstanding balances under the company's credit facility and lower interest rates. Net loss for the fiscal 2025 fourth quarter was $722,000, or $0.04 per share, reflecting the impact of $4.6 million, or $0.24 per share pre-tax, for certain tariffs costs paid for products sold before price increases were effective, as mentioned above.

He noted that the company is working with its suppliers and customers to address the current geopolitical environment and related challenges -- specifically tariffs and pricing. The company's solid financial position and cash flow generation support its competitive position and anticipated future growth. Joffe noted that over the last several years, the company proactively has focused on significantly reducing its reliance on Chinese suppliers, which today represents less than 25 percent, and has an established footprint in North America that could be utilized to further reduce this reliance going forward. Joffe highlighted that the company generated cash of approximately $45.5 million from operating activities during fiscal 2025, reduced net bank debt by $32.6 million for the fiscal year to $81.4 million from $114.0 million and also utilized $4.8 million for share repurchases. Twelve-Month Results Net sales for fiscal 2025 increased 5.5 percent to a record $757.4 million from $717.7 million a year ago. Gross profit for fiscal 2025 increased 16.1 percent to a record $153.8 million from $132.6 million a year earlier. Gross margin for fiscal 2025 was 20.3 percent compared with 18.5 percent a year earlier. Gross margin for fiscal 2025 was impacted by $13.5 million, or 1.8 percent, of non-cash expenses, and $5.9 million, or 0.8 percent, of one-time cash expenses, as detailed in Exhibit 4. Interest expense decreased by $4.5 million for fiscal 2025 to $55.6 million from $60.0 million a year ago, impacted by lower average outstanding balances under the company's credit facility and lower interest rates. Net loss for fiscal 2025 was $19.5 million, or $0.99 per share, including the impact of non-cash expenses of $25.0 million, or $1.27 per share, and one-time cash expenses of $6.9 million, or $0.35 per share, as detailed in Exhibit 2. Net loss for the prior fiscal year was $49.2 million, or $2.51 per share, including the impact of non-cash expenses of $50.3 million, or $2.56 per share, and cash expenses of $7.0 million, or $0.36 per share, as detailed in Exhibit 2. Share Repurchase During fiscal 2025 fourth quarter, the company repurchased 274,004 shares for $2.7 million at an average share price of $9.98, and for the full fiscal year, the company repurchased 542,134 shares for $4.8 million at an average share price of $8.91 under its current authorization program, supported by solid cash generation from operating activities. The company anticipates further opportunities to build shareholder value through enhanced profitability and strong cash generation. Fiscal 2026 Guidance Motorcar Parts of America expects net sales for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 to be between $780 million to $800 million, representing between 3.0 percent and 5.6 percent year-over-year growth. Operating income is expected to be between $86 million and $91 million, representing between 4.3 percent and 10.4 percent year-over-year growth. The company estimates depreciation and amortization will be approximately $11 million. These estimates do not include certain non-cash items and one-time expenses and exclude the impact of tariffs recently enacted due to the uncertainty and continuing changes. Use of Non-GAAP Measure This press release includes the following non-GAAP measure – EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. The company believes this non-GAAP measure, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's results of operations. However, this non-GAAP measure has significant limitations in that it does not reflect all the costs and other items associated with the operation of the company's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies. 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 definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, its corresponding GAAP measure, 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 this measure.

He noted that the company is working with its suppliers and customers to address the current geopolitical environment and related challenges -- specifically tariffs and pricing. The company's solid financial position and cash flow generation support its competitive position and anticipated future growth. Joffe noted that over the last several years, the company proactively has focused on significantly reducing its reliance on Chinese suppliers, which today represents less than 25 percent, and has an established footprint in North America that could be utilized to further reduce this reliance going forward.

Use of Non-GAAP Measure This press release includes the following non-GAAP measure – EBITDA, which is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance. The company believes this non-GAAP measure, when considered together with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors and management regarding financial and business trends relating to the company's results of operations. However, this non-GAAP measure has significant limitations in that it does not reflect all the costs and other items associated with the operation of the company's business as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company's non-GAAP measures may be calculated differently and are therefore not comparable to similar measures by other companies. 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 definition and reconciliation of EBITDA to net income, its corresponding GAAP measure, 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 this measure.
