Mr. Enterline continued, "In fiscal year 2014, we remain focused on executing our long-term, multi-faceted growth strategy of continued penetration in existing and potential new vehicle categories, capitalizing on international growth opportunities, and expanding our brand into relevant adjacencies while continuing to focus on further margin improvements.

Approximately 220 basis points of the improvement in gross margin relates to the Company's successful execution of initiatives designed to improve operating efficiencies. The remaining 320 basis points is largely due to additional warranty and other related costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2012 to upgrade certain dampers contained in the Company's suspension products which costs did not recur in 2013.

Non-GAAP adjusted net income in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $5.9 million, an increase of 118.4% compared to non-GAAP adjusted net income of $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $0.16, calculated on 37.6 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding, compared to non-GAAP adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.08, calculated on 34 million weighted average diluted shares outstanding in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted net income to the GAAP measure net income and the calculation of non-GAAP adjusted earnings per share are provided at the end of this press release.
Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 was $10.8 million, a 68.1% increase compared to $6.4 million in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA margin in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 improved 520 basis points to 16.6%, compared to 11.4% in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, reflecting the Company's ability to leverage its operating platform and the aforementioned damper warranty issue.

The Company will acquire the assets of Sport Truck in an asset purchase transaction for approximately $44 million due at closing. The transaction is being financed with debt and includes a potential earn-out opportunity of up to a maximum of $29.3 million payable over the next three years contingent upon the achievement of certain performance based financial targets. The transaction is expected to close by the end of March 2014.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), FOX is including in this press release "Non-GAAP Adjusted net income", "Non-GAAP Adjusted earnings per diluted share", "Adjusted EBITDA", and "Adjusted EBITDA margin", which are non-GAAP financial measures. FOX defines Non-GAAP Adjusted net income as net income adjusted for amortization of purchased intangibles, net of tax, acquisition expenses, net of tax and the management fee which was previously payable to an affiliate of its majority stockholder, net of tax, and the write-off of unamortized loan origination fees in connection with the August 2013 termination of the Company's prior credit facility, net of tax, and Non-GAAP Adjusted earnings per diluted share as Non-GAAP Adjusted net income divided by the number of diluted shares of common stock outstanding. FOX defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted for interest expense, other income (expense), net, provision for income taxes, amortization of purchased intangibles, depreciation, stock-based compensation, acquisition expenses, and the management fee which was previously payable to an affiliate of its majority stockholder and Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. FOX includes these non-GAAP financial measures because it believes they allow investors to understand and evaluate the Company's core operating performance and trends. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses in calculating adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Adjusted net income (and accordingly, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Non-GAAP Adjusted earnings per diluted share) can provide a useful measure for period-to-period comparisons of the Company's core business. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, including the fact that such non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies and other companies may calculate Non-GAAP Adjusted net income, Non-GAAP Adjusted earnings per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin differently than FOX does. For more information regarding these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables included at the end of this press release.
