Basis of Presentation [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Note 1. Basis of Presentation Standard Motor Products, Inc. and its 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 in the automotive aftermarket, and custom-engineered solutions for vehicle control and thermal management categories in diversified end markets. We sell our products primarily to automotive aftermarket retailers, warehouse distributors, original equipment manufacturers and original equipment service part operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Mexico and other Latin American countries. 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, 2022. 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 2023 presentation. Reportable Segments Beginning on January 1, 2023, we reorganized our business into three operating segments – Engineered Solutions, Vehicle Control and Temperature Control. The new operating segment structure provides clarity regarding the unique dynamics and margin profiles of the markets served by each segment, better aligns our operating segments with our strategic focus on diversification, and provides greater transparency into our positioning to capture growth opportunities in the future. Prior period segment results have been reclassified to conform to our operating segment reorganization. For additional information related to our segment reorganization, see Note 7, “Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets,” Note 16, “Industry Segments,” and Note 17, “Net Sales.”
