STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
Standard Motor Products, Inc. and subsidiaries (referred to hereinafter in these notes to the consolidated financial statements as “we,” “us,” “our,” “SMP,” or the “Company”) is a leading manufacturer and distributor of premium replacement parts utilized in the maintenance, repair and service of vehicles in the automotive aftermarket industry along with a complementary focus on specialized equipment parts for manufacturers across multiple industries around the world.
The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include our accounts and all domestic and international companies in which we have more than a 50% equity ownership, except in instances where the minority shareholder maintains substantive participating rights, in which case we follow the equity method of accounting. In instances where we have more than a 50% equity ownership and the minority shareholder does not maintain substantive participating rights, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company on a consolidated basis with its net income and equity reported at amounts attributable to both our equity position and that of the noncontrolling interest. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for on the equity method, as we do not have a controlling financial interest but have the ability to exercise significant influence. All significant inter-company items have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 presentation.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated annual and quarterly financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We have made a number of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. We can give no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Although we do not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates, or in the assumptions that we use in calculating the estimates, the uncertain future effects, if any, of disruptions in the supply chain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine and resultant sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other governments, future increases in interest rates, and other unforeseen changes in the industry, or business, could materially impact the estimates, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some of the more significant estimates include allowances for expected credit losses, cash discounts, valuation of inventory, valuation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, product liability exposures, asbestos, environmental and litigation matters, valuation of deferred tax assets, share based compensation and sales returns and other allowances.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) – (Continued)
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We occasionally use derivative financial instruments to reduce our market risk for changes in interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. Derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in other current and long-term assets, and other current and long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. For derivative financial instruments that have been formally designated as cash flow interest rate hedges (“interest rate swap agreements”), provided that the hedging instrument is highly effective, the entire change in the fair value of the derivative will be deferred and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in the consolidated balance sheets. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized (i.e., when the interest payments on the underlying borrowing are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations), the gain/loss included in AOCI is recorded in earnings and reflected on the same line as the gain/loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk (i.e., interest expense). At the inception of each transaction, we formally document the hedge relationship, including the identification of the hedge instrument, the related hedged items, the effectiveness of the hedge, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies.
Other than the addition of the foregoing accounting policy, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Note 1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Standards that are not yet adopted as of September 30, 2022
The following table provides a brief description of recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not yet been adopted as of September 30, 2022, and that could have an impact on our financial statements:

The new standard is applicable to contracts that reference LIBOR, or another reference rate, expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. |  | Effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 |  | The new standard may be applied as of the beginning of an interim period that includes March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. As certain of our contracts reference LIBOR, including our supply chain financing arrangements, we are currently reviewing the optional guidance in the standard to determine its impact upon the discontinuance of LIBOR. At this time, we do not believe that the new guidance, nor the discontinuance of LIBOR, will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2021 Business Acquisitions
Acquisition of Capital Stock of Stabil Operative Group GmbH (“Stabil”)
In September 2021, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Stabil Operative Group GmbH, a German company (“Stabil”), for Euros 13.7 million, or $16.3 million. Stabil is a manufacturer and distributor of a variety of components, including electronic sensors, control units, and clamping devices to the European Original Equipment (“OE”) market, serving both commercial and light vehicle applications. The acquired Stabil business was paid for with cash funded by borrowings under our revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, and is headquartered on the outskirts of Stuttgart, Germany with facilities in Germany and Hungary. The acquisition, reported as part of our Engine Management Segment, aligns with our strategy of expansion beyond our core aftermarket business into complementary areas, and gives us exposure to a diversified group of blue chip European commercial and light vehicle OE customers.

Note 5. Sale of Receivables
We are party to several supply chain financing arrangements, in which we may sell certain of our customers’ trade accounts receivable to such customers’ financial institutions. We sell our undivided interests in certain of these receivables at our discretion when we determine that the cost of these arrangements is less than the cost of servicing our receivables with existing debt. Under the terms of the agreements, we retain no rights or interest, have no obligations with respect to the sold receivables, and do not service the receivables after the sale. As such, these transactions are being accounted for as a sale.
Pursuant to these agreements, we sold $236.3 million and $610.4 million of receivables during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $232.5 million and $626.9 million for the comparable periods in 2021. Receivables presented at financial institutions and not yet collected as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were approximately $9.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and remained in our accounts receivable balance for those periods. All receivables sold were reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet at the time of sale. A charge in the amount of $10.6 million and $21.8 million related to the sale of receivables was included in selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $3 million and $8.7 million for the comparable periods in 2021.
To the extent that these arrangements are terminated, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity could be adversely affected by extended payment terms, delays or failures in collecting trade accounts receivables. The utility of the supply chain financing arrangements also depends upon the LIBOR rate, or an alternative benchmark reference rate, as it is a component of the discount rate applicable to each arrangement. If the LIBOR rate, or alternative benchmark reference rate, increases significantly, we may be negatively impacted as we may not be able to pass these added costs on to our customers, which could have a material and adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 6. Inventories

Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance leases are not material.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facilities
In March 2022, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, SMP Motor Products Ltd. and Trumpet Holdings, Inc., entered into an amendment to our existing Credit Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2015, as amended (the “2015 Credit Agreement”), with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, and a syndicate of lenders for our senior secured revolving credit facility. The amendment provided for the drawdown of an additional $50 million from the agreement’s accordion feature to increase the line of credit under the revolving credit facility from $250 million to $300 million, and updated the benchmark provisions to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR as the reference rate.
In June 2022, the Company entered into a new Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million credit facility comprised of a $100 million term loan facility (the “term loan”) and a $400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility available in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Sterling, Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars and other currencies as agreed to by the administrative agent and the lenders (the “revolving facility”). The Credit Agreement replaces and refinances the 2015 Credit Agreement.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement, and pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement, with future borrowings used for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. The term loan amortizes in quarterly installments of 1.25% in each of the first four years, and quarterly installments of 2.5% in the fifth year of the Credit Agreement. The revolving facility has a $25 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $25 million sub-limit for the borrowing of swingline loans. The maturity date is June 1, 2027. The Company may request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date.
The Company may, upon the agreement of one or more then existing lenders or of additional financial institutions not currently party to the Credit Agreement, increase the revolving facility commitments or obtain incremental term loans by an aggregate amount not to exceed (x) the greater of (i) $168 million or (ii) 100% of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date, plus (y) the amount of any voluntary prepayment of term loans, plus (z) an unlimited amount so long as, immediately after giving effect thereto, the pro forma First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) does not exceed 2.5 to 1.0.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) – (Continued)
Term loan and revolver facility borrowings in U.S. Dollars bear interest, at the Company’s election, at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus 0.10% plus an applicable margin, or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin, where the alternate base rate is the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and one-month Term SOFR plus 0.10% plus 1.00%. Term loan borrowings are being made at one-month Term SOFR. The applicable margin for the term benchmark borrowings ranges from 1.0% to 2.0%, and the applicable margin for alternate base rate borrowings ranges from 0% to 1.0%, in each case, based on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries. The Company may select interest periods of one, three or six months for Term SOFR borrowings. Interest is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its material domestic subsidiaries (each, a “Guarantor”), and secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of the Company and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. The collateral security described above also secures certain banking services obligations and interest rate swaps and currency or other hedging obligations of the Company owing to any of the then existing lenders or any affiliates thereof. Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into a seven year interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Co-Syndication Agent and lender under the Credit Agreement, on $100 million of borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap agreement matures in May 2029.
Outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2022 under the Credit Agreement were $268.5 million, consisting of current borrowings of $57.1 million and long-term debt of $211.4 million; while outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2021 under the 2015 Credit Agreement were $125.3 million, consisting of current borrowings. Letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $2.4 million at September 30, 2022, and $2.6 million under the 2015 Credit Agreement at December 31, 2021. Borrowings at December 31, 2021 under the 2015 Credit Agreement have been classified as current liabilities based upon accounting rules and certain provisions in the agreement.
At September 30, 2022, the weighted average interest rate under our Credit Agreement was 4.4%, which consisted of $268 million in borrowings at 4.4% under Term SOFR, adjusted for the impact of the interest rate swap agreement on $100 million of borrowings, and an alternative base rate borrowing of $0.5 million at 6.8%. At December 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on our 2015 Credit Agreement was 1.4%, which consisted of $125 million in direct borrowings at 1.4% and alternative base rate loan of $0.3 million at 3.5%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our average daily alternative base rate loan balance was $7.5 million, compared to a balance of $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and a balance of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, acquisitions, investments, loans and guarantees, subject, in each case, to customary exceptions, thresholds and baskets. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.
Polish Overdraft Facility
In February 2022, our Polish subsidiary, SMP Poland sp. z.o.o., amended its overdraft facility with HSBC Continental Europe (Spolka Akcyjna) Oddzial w Polsce, formerly HSBC France (Spolka Akcyjna) Oddzial w Polsce. The amended overdraft facility provides for borrowings of up to Zloty 30 million (approximately $6.1 million). Availability under the amended facility commenced in March 2022, with automatic three-month renewals until 2027 subject to cancellation by either party, at its sole discretion, at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the three-month renewal period. Borrowings under the overdraft facility will bear interest at a rate equal to WIBOR + 1.5% and are guaranteed by Standard Motor Products, Inc., the ultimate parent company. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, borrowings under the overdraft facility were Zloty 4.9 million (approximately $1 million) and Zloty 12.3 million (approximately $3 million), respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs
We have deferred financing costs of approximately $2.2 million and $0.4 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Deferred financing costs are related to our term loan and revolving credit facilities. In connection with the amendment to the 2015 Credit Agreement entered into in March 2022 and the Credit Agreement entered into in June 2022 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, we incurred and capitalized approximately $0.2 million, and $1.9 million, respectively, of deferred financing costs related to bank, legal, and other professional fees which are being amortized, along with certain preexisting deferred financing costs, through June 2027, the term of the Credit Agreement. In addition, upon entering into the Credit Agreement, we wrote-off $40,000 of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the 2015 Credit Agreement. Unamortized deferred financing costs written-off in June 2022 were recorded in other non-operating income (expense), net in our consolidated statement of operations.
Deferred financing costs as of September 30, 2022, assuming no prepayments, are being amortized as follows:

Note 11. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
We account for our stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation, which requires that a company measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.
Restricted and Performance Stock Grants
We are authorized to issue, among other things, shares of restricted and performance-based stock to eligible employees and restricted stock to directors of up to 2,050,000 shares under the Amended and Restated 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“Plan”). Shares issued under the Plan that are cancelled, forfeited or expire by their terms are eligible to be granted again under the Plan.
As part of the Plan, we currently grant shares of restricted stock to eligible employees and our independent directors and performance-based shares to eligible employees. We grant eligible employees two types of restricted stock (standard restricted shares and long-term retention restricted shares). Standard restricted shares granted to employees become fully vested no earlier than three years after the date of grant. Long-term retention restricted shares granted to selected executives vest at a 25% rate on or within approximately two months of an executive reaching the ages 60 and 63, and become fully vested on or within approximately two months of an executive reaching the age 65. Restricted shares granted to directors become fully vested upon the first anniversary of the date of grant.
Performance-based shares issued to eligible employees are subject to a three-year measuring period and the achievement of performance targets and, depending upon the achievement of such performance targets, they may become vested no earlier than three years after the date of grant. Each period we evaluate the probability of achieving the applicable targets, and we adjust our accrual accordingly. Restricted shares (other than long-term retention restricted shares) and performance shares issued to certain key executives and directors are subject to a one or two year holding period upon the lapse of the vesting period. Forfeitures on stock grants are estimated at 5% for employees and 0% for executives and directors based on our evaluation of historical and expected future turnover.
Our restricted and performance-based share activity was as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

|  | Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |
Balance at December 31, 2021 |  |  | 807,019 |  |  | $ | 34.92 |
Granted |  |  | 246,125 |  |  |  | 28.44 |

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) – (Continued)
We recorded compensation expense related to restricted shares and performance-based shares of $5.7 million ($4.2 million, net of tax) and $6.8 million ($5.1 million, net of tax) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The unamortized compensation expense related to our restricted and performance-based shares was $16.6 million at September 30, 2022, and is expected to be recognized as they vest over a weighted average period of 4.55 years and 0.56 years for employees and directors, respectively.
Note 12. Employee Benefits
We provide certain medical and dental care benefits to 14 former U.S. union employees. The postretirement medical and dental benefit obligation to the former union employees as of September 30, 2022, and the related net periodic benefit cost for the plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were not material.
We maintain a defined contribution Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for key employees. Under the plan, these employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation and, in addition, we may at our discretion make contributions to the plan on behalf of the employees. In March 2022, we made company contributions to the plan of $0.8 million related to calendar year 2021.
We also have an Employee Stock Ownership Plan for employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. In connection therewith, we maintain an employee benefits trust to which we contribute shares of treasury stock. We are authorized to instruct the trustees to distribute such shares toward the satisfaction of our future obligations under the plan. The shares held in trust are not considered outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share until they are committed to be released. The trustees will vote the shares in accordance with their fiduciary duties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we contributed to the trust an additional 48,200 shares from our treasury and released 48,200 shares from the trust leaving 200 shares remaining in the trust as of September 30, 2022.
Note 13. Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
We occasionally use derivative financial instruments to reduce our market risk for changes in interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. The principal financial instruments used for cash flow hedging purposes are interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swaps effectively convert a portion of our variable rate borrowings under our existing facilities to a fixed rate based upon determined notional amount. We do not enter into interest rate swap agreements, or other financial instruments, for trading or speculative purposes.
In June 2022, we entered into a seven year interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $100 million that is to mature in May 2029. The interest rate swap agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge of interest payments on $100 million of borrowings under our Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the swap agreement, we will receive monthly variable interest payments based on one month Term SOFR and will pay interest based upon a fixed rate of 2.683% per annum, adjusted upward for the credit spread adjustment in the Credit Agreement of 0.10% and the loan margin in the Credit Agreement of 1.50% at September 30, 2022.
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement as of September 30, 2022 was an asset of $5.8 million, which has been deferred and recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of income taxes, in our consolidated balance sheet. When the interest expense on the underlying borrowing is recognized, the deferred gain/loss in accumulated other comprehensive income is recorded in earnings as interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. We perform quarterly hedge effectiveness assessments and anticipate that the interest rate swap will be highly effective throughout its term.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements
We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of “observable inputs” and minimize the use of “unobservable inputs.” The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The following is a summary of the estimated fair values, carrying amounts, and classification under the fair value hierarchy of our financial instruments at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

|  |  | September 30, 2022 |  |  | December 31, 2021 |
| Fair Value Hierarchy |  | Fair Value |  |  | Carrying Amount |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Carrying Amount |
Cash and cash equivalents | LEVEL 1 |  | $ | 17,525 |  |  | $ | 17,525 |  |  | $ | 21,755 |  |  | $ | 21,755 |
Deferred compensation | LEVEL 1 |  |  | 19,386 |  |  |  | 19,386 |  |  |  | 23,623 |  |  |  | 23,623 |
Short term borrowings | LEVEL 1 |  |  | 58,136 |  |  |  | 58,136 |  |  |  | 128,415 |  |  |  | 128,415 |
Long-term debt | LEVEL 1 |  |  | 211,400 |  |  |  | 211,400 |  |  |  | 21 |  |  |  | 21 |
Cash flow interest rate swap | LEVEL 2 |  |  | 5,816 |  |  |  | 5,816 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short maturity of those investments. The fair value of the underlying assets held by the deferred compensation plan are based on the quoted market prices of the underlying funds which are held by registered investment companies. The carrying value of our variable rate short-term borrowings and long-term debt under our credit facilities approximates fair value as the variable interest rates in the facilities reflect current market rates. The fair value of our cash flow interest rate swap agreement obtained from two independent third parties, is based upon market quotes, and represents the net amount required to terminate the interest rate swap, taking into consideration market rates and counterparty credit risk.

In the aftermarket channel, we sell our products to warehouse distributors and retailers. Our customers buy directly from us and sell directly to jobber stores, professional technicians and to “do-it-yourselfers” who perform automotive repairs on their personal vehicles. In the Specialized Original Equipment (“OE”) and Original Equipment Service (“OES”) channel, we sell our products to original equipment manufacturers who redistribute our products within their distribution network, independent dealerships and service dealer technicians. Lastly, in the Export channel, our domestic entities sell to customers outside the United States.
Note 18. Commitments and Contingencies
Asbestos
In 1986, we acquired a brake business, which we subsequently sold in March 1998 and which is accounted for as a discontinued operation in the accompanying statement of operations. When we originally acquired this brake business, we assumed future liabilities relating to any alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products manufactured by the seller of the acquired brake business. In accordance with the related purchase agreement, we agreed to assume the liabilities for all new claims filed on or after September 2001. Our ultimate exposure will depend upon the number of claims filed against us on or after September 2001, and the amounts paid for settlements, awards of asbestos-related damages, and defense of such claims. At September 30, 2022, approximately 1,550 cases were outstanding for which we may be responsible for any related liabilities. Since inception in September 2001 through September 30, 2022, the amounts paid for settled claims and awards of asbestos-related damages, including interest, were approximately $64 million. We do not have insurance coverage for the indemnity and defense costs associated with the claims we face.
In evaluating our potential asbestos-related liability, we have considered various factors including, among other things, an actuarial study of the asbestos related liabilities performed by an independent actuarial firm, our settlement amounts and whether there are any co-defendants, the jurisdiction in which lawsuits are filed, and the status and results of such claims. As is our accounting policy, we consider the advice of actuarial consultants with experience in assessing asbestos-related liabilities to estimate our potential claim liability; and perform an actuarial evaluation in the third quarter of each year and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that additional provisions may be necessary. The methodology used to project asbestos-related liabilities and costs in our actuarial study considered: (1) historical data available from publicly available studies; (2) an analysis of our recent claims history to estimate likely filing rates into the future; (3) an analysis of our currently pending claims; (4) an analysis of our settlements and awards of asbestos-related damages to date; and (5) an analysis of closed claims with pay ratios and lag patterns in order to develop average future settlement values. Based on the information contained in the actuarial study and all other available information considered by us, we have concluded that no amount within the range of settlement payments and awards of asbestos-related damages was more likely than any other and, therefore, in assessing our asbestos liability we compare the low end of the range to our recorded liability to determine if an adjustment is required.

Index
STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) – (Continued)
In accordance with our policy to perform an annual actuarial evaluation in the third quarter of each year, an updated actuarial study was performed as of August 31, 2022. The results of the August 31, 2022 study included an estimate of our undiscounted liability for settlement payments and awards of asbestos-related damages, excluding legal costs, ranging from $68.8 million to $111.6 million for the period through 2065. The change from the prior year study, which was in August 31,2021, was a $7.9 million increase for the low end of the range, and an $11.4 million increase for the high end of the range. The increase in the estimated undiscounted liability from the prior year study at both the low end and the high end of the range reflects our actual experience, our historical data, recent settlements and certain assumptions with respect to events that may occur in the future.
Based upon the results of the August 31, 2022 actuarial study, in September 2022, we increased our asbestos liability to $68.8 million, the low end of the range, and recorded an incremental pre-tax provision of $18.5 million in earnings (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations. Future legal costs, which are expensed as incurred and reported in earnings (loss) from discontinued operations in the accompanying statement of operations, are estimated, according to the August 31, 2022 study, to range from $53.2 million to $105.7 million for the period through 2065. Total operating cash outflows related to discontinued operations, which include settlements, awards of asbestos-related damages and legal costs, net of taxes, were $11 million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We plan to perform an annual actuarial evaluation during the third quarter of each year for the foreseeable future and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that additional provisions may be necessary. Given the uncertainties associated with projecting such matters into the future and other factors outside our control, we can give no assurance that additional provisions will not be required. We will continue to monitor events and changes in circumstances surrounding these potential liabilities in determining whether to perform additional actuarial evaluations and whether additional provisions may be necessary. At the present time, however, we do not believe that any additional provisions would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity or consolidated financial position.
Other Litigation
We are currently involved in various other legal claims and legal proceedings (some of which may involve substantial amounts), including claims related to commercial disputes, product liability, employment, and environmental. Although these legal claims and legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties, based on our understanding and evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances, we believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We may at any time determine that settling any of these matters is in our best interests, which settlement may include substantial payments. Although we cannot currently predict the specific amount of any liability that may ultimately arise with respect to any of these matters, we will record provisions when the liability is considered probable and reasonably estimable. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination as to whether an exposure can be reasonably estimated. As additional information becomes available, we reassess our potential liability related to these matters. Such revisions of the potential liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Note 19. Subsequent Event
In October 2022, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Kade Trading GmbH (“Kade”) headquartered in Glinde, Germany for Euros 1.9 million (approximately $1.9 million), net of closing balance sheet adjustments, plus a Euros 0.5 million (approximately $0.5 million) earn-out based upon Kade’s performance in 2024 and 2025. Kade is a supplier across Europe of mobile temperature control components to commercial vehicle, passenger car and specialty equipment markets and has been a distributor of SMP products including electric compressors, hose assemblies and receiver dryers, with annual sales of approximately $6 million. The acquired Kade business, to be reported as part of our Temperature Control segment, was paid for with cash funded by borrowings under our Credit Agreement with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent.

Overview of Financial Performance
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto. This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our results of operations and the financial condition of our business during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

|  | Three Months Ended September 30, |
(In thousands, except per share data) |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |
Net sales |  | $ | 381,373 |  |  | $ | 370,310 |
Gross profit |  |  | 106,784 |  |  |  | 105,205 |

Earnings from continuing operations |  |  | 23,192 |  |  |  | 29,185 |
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes |  |  | (14,294 | ) |  |  | (5,122 | )
Net earnings |  |  | 8,898 |  |  |  | 24,063 |
Net earnings (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest |  |  | 52 |  |  |  | 13 |
Net earnings attributable to SMP |  |  | 8,846 |  |  |  | 24,050 |
Per share data attributable to SMP – Diluted: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Earnings from continuing operations |  | $ | 1.06 |  |  | $ | 1.29 |
Discontinued operations |  |  | (0.66 | ) |  |  | (0.22 | )
Net earnings per common share |  | $ | 0.40 |  |  | $ | 1.07 |

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $381.4 million, an increase of $11.1 million, or 3% compared to net sales of $370.3 million in the same period in 2021. Net sales increased in both our Engine Management and Temperature Control segments against strong net sales in the comparable period of 2021.
Engine Management net sales were favorably impacted by continued strong customer demand and price increases implemented in 2022, while Temperature Control segment’s strength in net sales reflects the impact of price increases, the continued strong customer demand fueled by healthy customer POS sales, and record heat across the country.
Gross margin as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 28% as compared to 28.4% for the comparable period in 2021. Compared to the third quarter of 2021, gross margins at Engine Management decreased 0.8 percentage points from 27% to 26.2%, while gross margins at Temperature Control increased 0.4 percentage points from 28.4% to 28.8%.
Engine Management’s gross margins were negatively impacted by inflationary cost increases in certain raw materials, labor and transportation expense, which were somewhat offset by increased pricing, and some higher freight expense resulting from higher inventory balances. The gross margin percentage increase at Temperature Control reflects the impact of seasonal volumes, customer mix and increased pricing, which more than offset the impact of inflationary cost increases in raw materials, labor and transportation and higher freight and related expenses from higher inventory levels.
Operating margin as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was 8.8% as compared to 10.4% for the comparable period in 2021. Included in our operating margin were selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) of $73.2 million, or 19.2% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $66.5 million, or 18% of net sales, for the same period in 2021. The higher SG&A expenses in 2022 resulted principally from higher interest rate related costs incurred in our supply chain financing arrangements.
Overall, our core automotive aftermarket business demand remains strong, and we continue to make major strides into new complementary markets with upside potential.

New $500 Million Credit Facility
In June 2022, we entered into a new Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million credit facility comprised of a $100 million term loan facility (the “term loan”) and a $400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “revolving facility”). Concurrently with our entry into the Credit Agreement, we also entered into a seven year interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Co-Syndication Agent and lender under the Credit Agreement on $100 million of borrowings under the Credit Agreement to manage exposure to interest rate changes. The interest rate swap agreement matures in May 2029.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the existing 2015 Credit Agreement, and pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement, with future borrowings used for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. The term loan amortizes in quarterly installments of 1.25% in each of the first four years, and quarterly installments of 2.5% in the fifth year of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement matures on June 1, 2027. The Company may request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date.

Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine, and the resultant sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other governments, have created risks, uncertainties and disruptions impacting business continuity, liquidity and asset values not only in the Ukraine and Russia, but in markets worldwide. Significant price increases have occurred in gas and energy markets, as well as in other commodities. Although we have no facilities or business operations in either the Ukraine or Russia, have historically had only minor sales to customers in Russia, which we have subsequently discontinued, and have not experienced additional significant disruptions in the supply chain, the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding the invasion are being closely monitored. We have manufacturing and distribution facilities in Bialystok, Poland and Pecel, Hungary. Our facility in Bialystok, Poland does not use natural gas in its production process, or for heating, and, as such, is not impacted by Russia’s decision to halt the export of all natural gas to Poland and Bulgaria. While we have not been impacted by the war to date, there can be no assurances that any escalation of the invasion will not have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Impact of Global Supply Chain Disruption and Inflation
Disruptions in the global economy have impeded global supply chains, resulted in longer lead times and delays in procuring component parts and raw materials, and resulted in inflationary cost increases in certain raw materials, labor and transportation. In response to the global supply chain volatility and inflationary cost increases, we have taken, and continue to take, several actions to mitigate the impact by working closely with our suppliers and customers to minimize any potential adverse impacts on our business, including implementing cost savings initiatives and the pass through of higher costs to our customers in the form of price increases, and increasing inventory levels to minimize the obvious disruptions from out-of-stock raw materials and components to ensure higher fill rates with our customers. We believe that we have also benefited from our geographically diversified manufacturing footprint and our strategy to bring more product manufacturing in-house, especially with respect to product availability and fill rates. We expect these inflationary trends to continue for some time, and while we believe that we will be able to somewhat offset the impact, there can be no assurances that unforeseen future events in the global supply chain affecting the availability of materials and components, and/or increasing commodity pricing, will not have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021
Sales. Consolidated net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $381.4 million, an increase of $11.1 million, or 3%, compared to $370.3 million in the same period of 2021, with the majority of our net sales to customers located in the United States. Consolidated net sales increased in both our Engine Management and Temperature Control Segments.
The following table summarizes consolidated net sales by segment and by major product group within each segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

|  | Three Months Ended September 30, |

Engine Management’s net sales increased $4.6 million, or 1.9%, to $251.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Net sales in ignition, emission control, fuel and safety related system products for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $215 million, an increase of $6.6 million, or 3.2%, compared to $208.4 million in the same period of 2021. Net sales in the wire and cable product group for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $36.7 million, a decrease of $2 million, or 5.1%, compared to $38.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Engine Management’s increase in net sales for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 reflects the impact of strong customer demand and price increases implemented in 2022, which were implemented to pass through inflationary increases in raw materials, distribution and labor costs.
Temperature Control’s net sales increased $3.9 million, or 3.3%, to $123 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Net sales in the compressors product group for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $78.2 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 4.2%, compared to $75.1 million in the same period of 2021. Net sales in the other climate control parts product group for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $44.8 million, an increase of $0.8 million, or 1.8%, compared to $44 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Temperature Control’s increase in net sales for the third quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 reflects the impact of continued strong customer demand, fueled by record heat across the country in 2022, and the impact of price increases, which were implemented to pass through inflationary increases in raw materials, distribution and labor costs. Full year results will be dependent upon ongoing weather conditions and customer inventory levels.

Gross Margins. Gross margins, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, decreased to 28% in the third quarter of 2022, compared to 28.4% in the third quarter of 2021. The following table summarizes gross margins by segment for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively (in thousands):

Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Engine Management |  |  | Temperature Control |  |  | Other |  |  | Total |
2022 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net sales |  | $ | 251,741 |  |  | $ | 122,991 |  |  | $ | 6,641 |  |  | $ | 381,373 |
Gross margins |  |  | 66,026 |  |  |  | 35,415 |  |  |  | 5,343 |  |  |  | 106,784 |
Gross margin percentage |  |  | 26.2 | % |  |  | 28.8 | % |  |  | — |  |  |  | 28 | %
2021 |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net sales |  | $ | 247,151 |  |  | $ | 119,075 |  |  | $ | 4,084 |  |  | $ | 370,310 |
Gross margins |  |  | 66,714 |  |  |  | 33,815 |  |  |  | 4,676 |  |  |  | 105,205 |
Gross margin percentage |  |  | 27 | % |  |  | 28.4 | % |  |  | — |  |  |  | 28.4 | %

Compared to the third quarter of 2021, gross margins at Engine Management decreased 0.8 percentage points from 27% to 26.2%, while gross margins at Temperature Control increased 0.4 percentage points from 28.4% to 28.8%. The gross margin percentage decrease in Engine Management compared to the prior year primarily reflects the impact of inflationary cost increases in raw materials, labor and transportation, which were somewhat offset by increased pricing, and higher freight and related expenses resulting from higher inventory levels; while the gross margin percentage increase in Temperature Control reflects the positive impact seasonal volumes, customer mix and increased pricing, which more than offset the impact of inflationary cost increases in raw materials, labor and transportation and higher freight and related expenses resulting from higher inventory levels. While we anticipate continued margin pressures at both Engine Management and Temperature Control resulting from inflationary cost increases, we believe that our annual cost initiatives, and our ability to pass through higher prices to our customers, will help to mitigate the impact of the inflationary increases on our margins.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $73.2 million, or 19.2% of consolidated net sales, in the third quarter of 2022, as compared to $66.5 million, or 18% of consolidated net sales, in the third quarter of 2021. The $6.7 million increase in SG&A expenses as compared to the third quarter of 2021 is principally due to higher interest rate related costs incurred in our supply chain financing arrangements.
Restructuring and Integration Expenses. Restructuring and integration expenses of $166,000 in third quarter of 2021 related to the relocation, in our Engine Management Segment, of certain inventory, machinery, and equipment, acquired in our March 2021 soot sensor acquisition, to our facilities in Independence, Kansas and Bialystok, Poland. The soot sensor product line relocation has been substantially completed.
Operating Income. Operating income was $33.6 million, or 8.8% of consolidated net sales, in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $38.5 million, or 10.4% of consolidated net sales, in the third quarter of 2021. The year-over-year decrease in operating income of $4.9 million is primarily the result of higher SG&A expenses driven by the increased interest rate costs incurred in our supply chain financing arrangements, and to a lesser extent by the impact of lower gross margins as a percentage of consolidated net sales offset, in part, by marginally higher consolidated net sales.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net. Other non-operating income, net was $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in other non-operating income, net results the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Index
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2021. The year-over-year increase in interest expense reflects the impact of higher average outstanding borrowings in the third quarter of 2022 when compared to the third quarter of 2021, and higher year-over-year average interest rates on our credit facilities.
Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision in the third quarter of 2022 was $8.3 million at an effective tax rate of 26.3% compared to $9.5 million at an effective tax rate of 24.5% for the same period in 2021. The higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the comparable period in 2021 results primarily from the income tax provision impact related to the exercise of restricted stock.
Loss from Discontinued Operations. Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, during the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, reflects information contained in the actuarial studies performed as of August 31, 2022 and 2021, other information available and considered by us, and legal expenses associated with our asbestos related liability. During the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax was $14.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The loss from discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 includes an $18.5 million and a $5.3 million pre-tax provision, respectively, to increase our indemnity liability in line with the August 31, 2022 and 2021 actuarial studies. As discussed more fully in Note 18, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements (unaudited), we are responsible for certain future liabilities relating to alleged exposure to asbestos containing products.
Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. In May 2021, we acquired the Trombetta business for $111.7 million. As part of the acquisition, we acquired a 70% ownership in a joint venture in Hong Kong, with operations in Shanghai and Wuxi, China (“Trombetta Asia, Ltd.”). Net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $52,000 and $13,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, represents 30% of the net earnings of Trombetta Asia, Ltd.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Sales. Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $1,063.6 million, an increase of $74.7 million, or 7.6%, compared to $988.9 million in the same period of 2021, with the majority of our net sales to customers in the United States. Consolidated net sales increased in both our Engine Management and Temperature Control Segments.
The following table summarizes consolidated net sales by segment and by major product group within each segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Engine Management’s net sales increased $40.5 million, or 5.8%, to $732.9 million for the first nine months of 2022. Net sales in ignition, emission control, fuel and safety related system products for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $618.2 million, an increase of $43.6 million, or 7.6%, compared to $574.6 million in the same period of 2021. Net sales in the wire and cable product group for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $114.7 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 2.6%, compared to $117.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Engine Management’s increase in net sales for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 reflects the impact of the positive contribution of incremental sales from our soot sensor, Trombetta and Stabil acquisitions, strong customer demand and price increases implemented in 2022, which were implemented to pass through inflationary increases in raw materials, distribution and labor costs.
Incremental net sales from our soot sensor, Trombetta and Stabil acquisitions of $44.6 million were included in the net sales of the ignition, emission control, fuel and safety related system products group for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021, excluding the incremental net sales from the acquisitions, net sales in the ignition, emission control, fuel and safety related product group were essentially flat and Engine Management net sales decreased $4.1 million.
Temperature Control’s net sales increased $30.7 million, or 10.7%, to $318.7 million for the first nine months of 2022. Net sales in the compressors product group for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $193.6 million, an increase of $15.6 million, or 8.7%, compared to $178 million in the same period of 2021. Net sales in the other climate control parts product group for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $125.2 million, an increase of $15.2 million, or 13.8%, compared to $110 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Temperature Control’s increase in net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 reflects the impact of continued strong customer demand, fueled by record heat across the country in 2022 and the replenishment of customer inventory levels after very warm summer conditions in 2021, and the impact of price increases, which were implemented to pass through inflationary increases in raw materials, distribution and labor costs. Full year results will be dependent upon ongoing weather conditions and customer inventory levels.
Gross Margins. Gross margins, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, decreased to 27.5% in the first nine months of 2022, compared to 29.1% during the same period in 2021. The following table summarizes gross margins by segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively (in thousands):

Nine Months Ended September 30, |  | Engine Management |  |  | Temperature Control |  |  | Other |  |  | Total |

Gross margin percentage |  |  | 28.8 | % |  |  | 27.2 | % |  |  | — |  |  |  | 29.1 | %

Compared to the first nine months of 2021, gross margins at Engine Management decreased 2.3 percentage points from 28.8% to 26.5%, while gross margins at Temperature Control decreased 0.2 percentage points from 27.2% to 27%. The gross margin percentage decrease in Engine Management compared to the prior year reflects the impact of lower fixed cost absorption due to lower and more normalized production, inflationary cost increases in raw materials, labor and transportation, which were somewhat offset by increased pricing, the higher mix of non-aftermarket parts sales from recent acquisitions, which have a different profile than our aftermarket business with lower gross margins but comparable operating margin, and higher freight and related expenses resulting from higher inventory levels. The gross margin percentage decrease in Temperature Control reflects the impact of inflationary cost increases in raw materials, labor and transportation, and higher freight and related expenses resulting from higher inventory levels, which were somewhat offset by seasonal volume, customer mix and increased pricing. While we anticipate continued margin pressures at both Engine Management and Temperature Control resulting from inflationary cost increases, we believe that our annual cost initiatives, and our ability to pass through higher prices to our customers, will help to mitigate the impact of the inflationary increases on our margins.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $204.6 million, or 19.2% of consolidated net sales, in the first nine months of 2022, as compared to $183.3 million, or 18.5% of consolidated net sales in the first nine months of 2021. The $21.3 million increase in SG&A expenses as compared to the first nine months of 2021 is principally due to (1) higher interest rate related costs incurred in our supply chain financing arrangements, (2) the impact of incremental expenses of $7.2 million from our soot sensor, Trombetta and Stabil acquisitions, including amortization of intangible assets acquired, and (3) the impact of inflationary cost increases resulting in higher distribution and freight costs. SG&A expenses in the first nine months of 2022 were favorably impacted by the higher mix of non-aftermarket parts sales from recent acquisitions, which have a different profile than our aftermarket business with lower SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales.
Restructuring and Integration Expenses. Restructuring and integration expenses were $44,000 in nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to restructuring and integration expenses of $166,000 in the same period of 2021. Restructuring and integration expenses incurred in both the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 related to the relocation, in our Engine Management Segment, of certain inventory, machinery, and equipment, acquired in our March 2021 soot sensor acquisition, to our facilities in Independence, Kansas and Bialystok, Poland. The soot sensor product line relocation has been substantially completed.
Operating Income. Operating income was $88.4 million, or 8.3% of consolidated net sales, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $104.8 million, or 10.6% of consolidated net sales, in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The year-over-year decrease in operating income of $16.4 million is primarily the result of higher SG&A expenses driven by the increased interest rate costs incurred in our supply chain financing arrangements, and to a lesser extent by the impact of lower gross margins as a percentage of consolidated net sales offset, in part, by higher consolidated net sales.
Other Non-Operating Income (Expense), Net. Other non-operating income, net was $4.9 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $2.2 million in the first nine months of 2021. The year-over-year increase in other non-operating income, net results primarily from the increase in year-over-year equity income from our joint ventures and the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased to $6.3 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2021. The year-over-year increase in interest expense reflects the impact of higher average outstanding borrowings in the first nine months of 2022 when compared to first nine months of 2021, and higher year-over-year average interest rates on our credit facilities.
Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $22.4 million at an effective tax rate of 25.7%, compared to $26.3 million at an effective tax rate of 24.9% for the same period in 2021. The higher effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the comparable period in 2021 results primarily from the income tax provision impact related to the exercise of restricted stock.
Loss from Discontinued Operations. Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, reflects information contained in the actuarial studies performed as of August 31, 2022 and 2021, other information available and considered by us, and legal expenses associated with our asbestos related liability. During the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax was $17.1 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 includes an $18.5 million and a $5.3 million pre-tax provision, respectively, to increase our indemnity liability in line with the August 31, 2022 and 2021 actuarial studies. As discussed more fully in Note 18, “Commitments and Contingencies” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements (unaudited), we are responsible for certain future liabilities relating to alleged exposure to asbestos containing products.

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. In May 2021, we acquired the Trombetta business for $111.7 million. As part of the acquisition, we acquired a 70% ownership in a joint venture in Hong Kong, with operations in Shanghai and Wuxi, China (“Trombetta Asia, Ltd.”). Net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest of $129,000 and $32,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, represents 30% of the net earnings of Trombetta Asia, Ltd.
Restructuring and Integration Programs
All of our restructuring and integration programs have been substantially completed. For a detailed discussion on the restructuring and integration costs, see Note 4, “Restructuring and Integration Expenses,” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements (unaudited).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Operating Activities. During the first nine months of 2022, cash used in operating activities was $75.5 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $79.1 million in the same period of 2021. The increase in cash used in operating activities resulted primarily from the decrease in net earnings, the larger year-over-year increase in accounts receivable, the larger year-over-year increase in inventories, the decrease in accounts payable compared to a year-over-year increase in accounts payable, increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets compared to a year-over-year decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a smaller year-over-year increase in sundry payables and accrued expenses.
Net earnings during the first nine months of 2022 were $47.5 million compared to $72.2 million in the first nine months of 2021. During the first nine months of 2022, (1) the increase in accounts receivable was $51.9 million compared to the year-over-year increase in accounts receivable of $15.3 million in 2021; (2) the increase in inventories was $75.3 million compared to the year-over-year increase in inventories of $52.7 million in 2021; (3) the decrease in accounts payable was $31.8 million compared to the year-over-year increase in accounts payable of $24.2 million in 2021; (4) the increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets was $6.3 million compared to the year-over-year decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $2.3 million in 2021; and (5) the increase in sundry payables and accrued expenses was $3.8 million compared to the year-over-year increase in sundry payables and accrued expenses of $18.9 million in 2021. The increase in inventories during the first nine months of 2022 reflects actions taken to meet ongoing customer demand, the impact of materials inflation, and higher safety stocks of raw materials given the volatility in the supply chain; while the year-over-year comparative increase in receivables during the first nine months of 2022 reflects the impact of $50 million of receivables presented at financial institutions pursuant to our supply chain financing arrangements on December 31, 2020 sold in the first quarter of 2021. We continue to actively manage our working capital to maximize our operating cash flow.
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $19.5 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to $144 million in the same period of 2021. Investing activities during the first nine months of 2022 consisted of capital expenditures of $19.5 million; while investing activities during the first nine months of 2021 consisted of (1) the payment of $15.4 million, net of $0.9 million of cash acquired, for our acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Stabil Operative Group GmbH, a German company, (“Stabil”); (2) the payment of $107.1 million, net of $4.6 million of cash acquired, for our acquisition of 100% of the capital stock of Trumpet Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (“Trombetta”); (3) the payment of $2.1 million for our acquisition of certain assets of the soot sensor product lines from Stoneridge, Inc.; and (4) capital expenditures of $19.4 million.
Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $92 million in the first nine months of 2022 as compared to $79.1 million in the same period of 2021. In June 2022, we entered into a new credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent. The new credit agreement provides for a $500 million credit facility comprised of a $100 million term loan facility and a $400 million revolving credit facility. Borrowings under the new credit facility were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the then existing revolving credit facility, and certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the refinancing.

During the first nine months of 2022, we (1) increased our borrowings under our credit facilities by $141.5 million; (2) made cash payments of $2.1 million for debt issuance costs in connection with our refinancing; (3) made cash payments for the repurchase of shares of our common stock of $29.7 million; and (4) paid dividends of $17.6 million. Cash provided by borrowings under our credit facilities were used to fund our operating activities, investing activities, payment of debt issuance costs, purchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends.
During the first nine months of 2021, we (1) increased our borrowings under our revolving credit facility by $118.9 million; (2) increased our borrowings under lease obligations and our Polish overdraft facility by $2.9 million; (3) made cash payments for the repurchase of shares of our common stock of $26.5 million; and (4) paid dividends of $16.7 million. Cash provided by operating activities, along with borrowings under our revolving credit agreement, lease obligations and Polish overdraft facility were used to fund our investing activities, purchase shares of our common stock and pay dividends.
Dividends of $17.6 million and $16.7 million were paid in 2022 and 2021, respectively. In February 2022, our Board of Directors voted to increase our quarterly dividend from $0.25 per share in 2021 to $0.27 per share in 2022.
Liquidity.
Our primary cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, regular quarterly dividends, stock repurchases, principal and interest payments on indebtedness and acquisitions. Our primary sources of funds are ongoing net cash flows from operating activities and availability under our Credit Agreement (as detailed below).
In June 2022, Standard Motor Products, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million credit facility comprised of a $100 million term loan facility (the “term loan”) and a $400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility available in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Sterling, Swiss Francs, Canadian Dollars and other currencies as agreed to by the administrative agent and the lenders (the “revolving facility”). The Credit Agreement replaces and refinances the existing Credit Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2015, among the Company, SMP Motor Products Ltd. and Trumpet Holdings, Inc., as borrowers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and lender, and the other lenders named therein (the “2015 Credit Agreement”).
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement, and pay certain fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement, with future borrowings used for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. The term loan amortizes in quarterly installments of 1.25% in each of the first four years, and quarterly installments of 2.5% in the fifth year of the Credit Agreement. The revolving facility has a $25 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a $25 million sub-limit for the borrowing of swingline loans. The maturity date is June 1, 2027. The Company may request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date.
The Company may, upon the agreement of one or more of then existing lenders or of additional financial institutions not currently party to the Credit Agreement, increase the revolving facility commitments or obtain incremental term loans by an aggregate amount not to exceed (x) the greater of (i) $168 million or (ii) 100% of consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for the four fiscal quarters ended most recently before such date, plus (y) the amount of any voluntary prepayment of term loans, plus (z) an unlimited amount so long as, immediately after giving effect thereto, the pro forma First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) does not exceed 2.5 to 1.0.

Index
Term loan and revolver facility borrowings in U.S. Dollars bear interest, at the Company’s election, at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus 0.10% plus an applicable margin, or an alternate base rate plus an applicable margin, where the alternate base rate is the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and one-month Term SOFR plus 0.10% plus 1.00%. Term loan borrowings are being made at one-month Term SOFR. The applicable margin for the term benchmark borrowings ranges from 1.0% to 2.0%, and the applicable margin for alternate base rate borrowings ranges from 0% to 1.0%, in each case, based on the total net leverage ratio of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries. The Company may select interest periods of one, three or six months for Term SOFR borrowings. Interest is payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly.
The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by its material domestic subsidiaries (each, a “Guarantor”), and secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the existing and future personal property of the Company and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. The collateral security described above also secures certain banking services obligations and interest rate swaps and currency or other hedging obligations of the Company owing to any of the then existing lenders or any affiliates thereof. Concurrently with the Company’s entry into the Credit Agreement, the Company also entered into a seven year interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Co-Syndication Agent and lender under the Credit Agreement, on $100 million of borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate swap agreement matures in May 2029.
Outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2022 under the Credit Agreement were $268.5 million, consisting of current borrowings of $57.1 million and long-term debt of $211.4 million; while outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2021 under the 2015 Credit Agreement were $125.3 million, consisting of current borrowings. Letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $2.4 million at September 30, 2022, and $2.6 million under the 2015 Credit Agreement at December 31, 2021. Borrowings at December 31, 2021 under the 2015 Credit Agreement have been classified as current liabilities based upon accounting rules and certain provisions in the agreement.
At September 30, 2022, the weighted average interest rate under our Credit Agreement was 4.4%, which consisted of $268 million in borrowings at 4.4% under Term SOFR, adjusted for the impact of the interest rate swap agreement on $100 million of borrowings, and an alternative base rate borrowing of $0.5 million at 6.8%. At December 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on our 2015 Credit Agreement was 1.4%, which consisted of $125 million in direct borrowings at 1.4% and alternative base rate loan of $0.3 million at 3.5%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, our average daily alternative base rate loan balance was $7.5 million, compared to a balance of $1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and a balance of $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants limiting, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sales of assets, dividends and other payments in respect of equity interests, acquisitions, investments, loans and guarantees, subject, in each case, to customary exceptions, thresholds and baskets. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.
In February 2022, our Polish subsidiary, SMP Poland sp. z.o.o., amended its overdraft facility with HSBC Continental Europe (Spolka Akcyjna) Oddzial w Polsce, formerly HSBC France (Spolka Akcyjna) Oddzial w Polsce. The amended overdraft facility provides for borrowings of up to Zloty 30 million (approximately $6.1 million). Availability under the amended facility commenced in March 2022, with automatic three-month renewals until June 2027, subject to cancellation by either party, at its sole discretion, at least 30 days prior to the commencement of the three-month renewal period. Borrowings under the overdraft facility will bear interest at a rate equal to WIBOR + 1.5% and are guaranteed by Standard Motor Products, Inc., the ultimate parent company. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, borrowings under the overdraft facility were Zloty 4.9 million (approximately $1 million) and Zloty 12.3 million (approximately $3 million), respectively.
In order to reduce our accounts receivable balances and improve our cash flow, we are party to several supply chain financing arrangements, in which we may sell certain of our customers’ trade accounts receivable to such customers’ financial institutions. We sell our undivided interests in certain of these receivables at our discretion when we determine that the cost of these arrangements is less than the cost of servicing our receivables with existing debt. Under the terms of the agreements, we retain no rights or interest, have no obligations with respect to the sold receivables, and do not service the receivables after the sale. As such, these transactions are being accounted for as a sale.

Index
Pursuant to these agreements, we sold $236.3 million and $610.4 million of receivables during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $232.5 million and $626.9 million for the comparable periods in 2021. Receivables presented at financial institutions and not yet collected as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were approximately $9.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and remained in our accounts receivable balance for those periods. All receivables sold were reflected as a reduction of accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet at the time of sale. A charge in the amount of $10.6 million and $21.8 million related to the sale of receivables was included in selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $3 million and $8.7 million for the comparable periods in 2021.
To the extent that these arrangements are terminated, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and liquidity could be adversely affected by extended payment terms, delays or failures in collecting trade accounts receivables. The utility of the supply chain financing arrangements also depends upon the LIBOR rate, or an alternative benchmark reference rate, as it is a component of the discount rate applicable to each arrangement. If the LIBOR rate, or alternative benchmark reference rate, increases significantly, we may be negatively impacted as we may not be able to pass these added costs on to our customers, which could have a material and adverse effect upon our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
In October 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $30 million of our common stock under a stock repurchase program. Stock repurchases under this program, during the year ended December 31, 2022 were 7,000 shares at a total cost of $0.3 million, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were 70,182 shares and 692,067 shares of our common stock, respectively, at a total cost of $3.2 million and $29.7 million, respectively, thereby completing the October 2021 Board of Directors authorization.
In July 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to an additional $30 million of our common stock under a new stock repurchase program. Stock will be purchased from time to time in the open market, or through private transactions, as market conditions warrant. To date, there have been no repurchases of our common stock under the program.
Material Cash Commitments
Material cash commitments as of September 30, 2022 consist of required cash payments to service our outstanding borrowings of $268.5 million under our Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, and the future minimum cash requirements of $56.8 million through 2033 under operating leases. All of our other cash commitments as of September 30, 2022 are not material. For additional information related to our material cash commitments, see Note 8, “Leases,” and Note 9, “Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements (unaudited).
We anticipate that our cash flow from operations, available cash, and available borrowings under our Credit Agreement will be adequate to meet our future liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that we will be able to mitigate the future impact, if any, of disruptions in the supply chain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine and resultant sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other governments, future increases in interest rates, and significant inflationary cost increases in raw materials, labor and transportation that we are unable to pass through to our customers, and that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity or capital requirements. If material adverse developments were to occur in any of these areas, there can be no assurance that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us under our Credit Agreement in amounts sufficient to enable us to pay the principal and interest on our indebtedness, or to fund our other liquidity needs. In addition, if we default on any of our indebtedness, or breach any financial covenant in our Credit Agreement, our business could be adversely affected.
For further information regarding the risks in our business, refer to Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified the accounting policies and estimates surrounding the “Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets and Goodwill,” and “Asbestos Litigation” as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies and estimates on our business operations is discussed throughout “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” where such policies and estimates affect our reported and expected financial results. Other than the addition of the “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” accounting policy described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in the notes to our consolidated financial statements (unaudited), which has not been identified as a critical accounting policy, there have been no other material changes made to our accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Note 1 of the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
You should be aware that preparation of our consolidated quarterly financial statements in this Report requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We can give no assurances that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Although we do not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates, or in the assumptions that we use in calculating the estimates, the uncertain future effects, if any, of disruptions in the supply chain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine and resultant sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other governments, and other unforeseen changes in the industry, or business, could materially impact the estimates, and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to foreign currency exchange and interest rates. These exposures are actively monitored by management. Our exposure to foreign exchange rate risk is due to certain costs, revenues and borrowings being denominated in currencies other than one of our subsidiary’s functional currency. Similarly, we are exposed to market risk as the result of changes in interest rates, which may affect the cost of our financing. It is our policy and practice to use derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to manage exposures. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Exchange Rate Risk
We have exchange rate exposure primarily with respect to the Canadian Dollar, the Euro, the British Pound, the Polish Zloty, the Hungarian Forint, the Mexican Peso, the Taiwan Dollar, the Chinese Yuan Renminbi and the Hong Kong Dollar. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our monetary assets and liabilities which are subject to this exposure are immaterial, therefore, the potential immediate loss to us that would result from a hypothetical 10% change in foreign currency exchange rates would not be expected to have a material impact on our earnings or cash flows. This sensitivity analysis assumes an unfavorable 10% fluctuation in the exchange rates affecting the foreign currencies in which monetary assets and liabilities are denominated and does not take into account the incremental effect of such a change on our foreign currency denominated revenues.
Interest Rate Risk
We manage our exposure to interest rate risk through the proportion of fixed rate debt and variable rate debt in our debt portfolio. To reduce our market risk for changes in interest rates on our variable rate borrowings, and to manage a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates, we occasionally enter into interest rate swap agreements.
In June 2022, we entered into a seven year interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $100 million that is to mature in May 2029. The interest rate swap agreement has been designated as a cash flow hedge of interest payments on $100 million of borrowings under our Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the swap agreement, we will receive monthly variable interest payments based on one month Term SOFR and will pay interest based upon a fixed rate of 2.683% per annum, adjusted upward for the credit spread adjustment in the Credit Agreement of 0.10% and the loan margin in the Credit Agreement of 1.50% at September 30, 2022.
As of September 30, 2022, we had approximately $269.5 million of outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities, of which approximately $169.5 million bears interest at variable rates of interest and $100 million bears interest at fixed rates, after consideration of the interest rate swap agreement entered into in June 2022. Additionally, we invest our excess cash in highly liquid short-term investments. Based upon our current level of borrowings under our facilities and our excess cash, the effect of a hypothetical, instantaneous and unfavorable change of 100 basis points in the interest rate may have an approximate $1.5 million annualized negative impact on our earnings or cash flows.
In addition, we are party to several supply chain financing arrangements, in which we may sell certain of our customers’ trade accounts receivable to such customers’ financial institutions. We sell our undivided interests in certain of these receivables at our discretion when we determine that the cost of these arrangements is less than the cost of servicing our receivables with existing debt. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold $236.3 million and $610.4 million of receivables, respectively. Depending upon the level of sales of receivables pursuant these agreements, the effect of a hypothetical, instantaneous and unfavorable change of 100 basis points in the margin rate may have an approximate $2.4 million and $6.1 million negative impact on our earnings or cash flows during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The charge related to the sale of receivables is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Other than the aforementioned, there have been no significant changes to the information presented in Item 7A (Market Risk) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

(b) | Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we have not made any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. We review, document and test our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in the 2013 Internal Control – Integrated Framework. We may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business. These efforts may lead to various changes in our internal control over financial reporting.
