STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 a custom-engineered solutions provider to vehicle and equipment manufacturers in diverse non-aftermarket end markets. Our automotive aftermarket is comprised of two segments, Vehicle Control and Temperature Control, while our Engineered Solutions segment offers a broad array of conventional and future-oriented technologies in markets for commercial and light vehicles, construction, agriculture, power sports, marine, hydraulics and lawn and garden. We sell our products primarily to 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, 2023. 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 in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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 GAAP 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 2024 presentation.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of consolidated annual and quarterly financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 geo-political risks, future increases in interest rates, inflation, macroeconomic uncertainty, 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
We have reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded they were either not applicable or not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Business Acquisitions and Investments
Investment in Foshan GWO YNG SMP Vehicle Climate Control & Cooling Products Co. Ltd.
In April 2014, we formed Foshan GWO YNG SMP Vehicle Climate Control & Cooling Products Co. Ltd. (“Gwo Yng”), a 50/50 joint venture with Gwo Yng Enterprise Co., Ltd., a China-based manufacturer of air conditioner accumulators, filter driers, hose assemblies and switches. We acquired our 50% interest in the joint venture for approximately $14 million. In March 2018, we acquired an additional 15% equity interest in the joint venture for Chinese yuan renminbi 26,475,583 (approximately $4.2 million), thereby increasing our equity interest in the joint venture to 65%. While we increased our equity interest in the joint venture to 65%, the minority shareholder maintained substantive participating rights that allowed it to participate in certain significant financial and operating decisions that occur in the ordinary course of business. As a result, we continued to account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity method of accounting.
In July 2023, we acquired an additional 15% equity interest in the joint venture for Chinese yuan renminbi 27,378,290 (approximately $4 million), thereby increasing our equity interest in Gwo Yng to 80%. In connection with the transaction, we amended and restated the charter documents of Gwo Yng to remove all minority shareholder substantive participating rights, giving SMP control of Gwo Yng. As a result, as of the closing date of the transaction, Gwo Yng was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages (“a step acquisition”). Accordingly, commencing on the closing of the transaction, we reported the results of Gwo Yng on a consolidated basis with the minority ownership interest reported as a noncontrolling interest.
The following table summarizes the allocation of the total step acquisition purchase consideration to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values (in thousands):

Total purchase consideration (a) |  |  |  |  | $ | 21,725 |
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 6,779 |  |  |  |  |
Receivables |  |  | 5,912 |  |  |  |  |
Inventory |  |  | 5,945 |  |  |  |  |
Other current assets |  |  | 528 |  |  |  |  |
Property, plant and equipment, net |  |  | 2,924 |  |  |  |  |
Operating lease right-of-use assets |  |  | 4,372 |  |  |  |  |
Intangible assets (b) |  |  | 532 |  |  |  |  |
Goodwill |  |  | 2,208 |  |  |  |  |
Long term investments and other assets |  |  | 7,257 |  |  |  |  |
Current liabilities |  |  | (6,004 | ) |  |  |  |
Noncurrent operating lease liabilities |  |  | (3,455 | ) |  |  |  |
Subtotal |  |  |  |  |  |  | 26,998 |
Fair value of acquired noncontrolling interest |  |  |  |  |  |  | (5,273 | )
Total purchase consideration allocated to net assets acquired |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 21,725 |

| (a) | Total purchase consideration is the sum of the fair value of the previously held equity investment interest in Gwo Yng of $17.7 million and the cash paid of $4 million for the acquisition of the additional 15% equity ownership interest.

| (b) | Intangible assets consists of customer relationships of $0.4 million and capitalized software of $0.1 million.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
Intangible assets of $0.4 million consisting of customer relationships is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 10 years. Goodwill of $2.2 million was allocated to the Temperature Control and Engineered Solutions segments in the amounts of $1.2 million and $1 million, respectively. The goodwill reflects relationships, business specific knowledge and the replacement cost of an assembled workforce associated with personal reputations
Note 4. Restructuring and Integration Expenses
Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program
During the quarter we offered a voluntary retirement incentive package of severance and other benefit enhancements to eligible employees in the United States and Canada as part of our commitment to optimizing our cost structure and providing professional development opportunities to our employees. The offer period ended on June 14, 2024. Costs primarily comprise of compensation expense and enhanced medical benefits and are charged to restructuring and integration expenses in our statement of operations as a one-time termination benefit either when the employee accepted the offer or over their remaining period of service based on the agreed retirement date. We anticipate that the Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program will be substantially complete by the end of 2027. Additional pre-tax restructuring costs related to the program are expected to be $3.1 million in the remainder of 2024, $0.4 million in 2025, and $0.1 million in 2026 for an aggregate cost of approximately $6.2 million.
Activity for the six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the voluntary retirement incentive program workforce reduction consisted of the following (in thousands):

Exit activity liability at December 31, 2023 |  | $ | — |
Restructuring and integration costs: |  |  |  |
Amounts provided for during 2024 (a) |  |  | 2,589 |
Stock-based compensation |  |  | 166 |
Cash payments |  |  | (128 | )
Exit activity liability at June 30, 2024 |  | $ | 2,627 |

(a) | Restructuring and integration expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2024 consist of $1.1 million in our Vehicle Control segment, $0.2 million in our Temperature Control segment, $0.4 million in our Engineered Solutions segment and $0.9 million in our Other segment.

Cost Reduction Initiative
During the fourth quarter of 2022, to further our ongoing efforts to improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs, we announced plans for a reduction in our sales force, and initiated plans to relocate certain product lines from our Independence, Kansas manufacturing facility and from our St. Thomas, Canada manufacturing facility to our manufacturing facilities in Reynosa, Mexico.

Restructuring and integration activities are included within “sundry payables and accrued expenses” and “other accrued liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet.
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 accounted for as a sale.
Pursuant to these agreements, we sold $230.1 million and $400.9 million of receivables during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $211.6 million and $382.5 million for the comparable periods in 2023. Receivables presented at financial institutions and not yet collected as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were approximately $14.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and remained in our accounts receivable balance as of that date. 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 $13.4 million and $23.4 million related to the sale of receivables was included in selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $12.4 million and $21.5 million for the comparable periods in 2023.
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, or delays or failures in collecting trade accounts receivable. The utility of the supply chain financing arrangements also depends upon a benchmark reference rate for the purpose of determining the discount rate applicable to each arrangement. If the 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.

Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility
In June 2022, the Company entered into a five-year Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”) which matures on June 1, 2027. The Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million credit facility comprised of a $100 million term loan facility (the “Term A-1 Loan”) and a $400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility available in U.S. dollars, euros, British pound sterling, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars and other currencies as agreed to by the administrative agent and the lenders (the “revolving facility”). 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.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement, and are used for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Term A-1 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. 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 lenders not currently party to the Credit Agreement, increase the revolving facility 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) any voluntary prepayment of term loans, plus (z) any amount that, after giving effect to the increase, the pro forma First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) does not exceed 2.5 to 1.0.
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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.10% plus a margin, or an alternate base rate plus a 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 1.10%. The Term A-1 Loan was made at one-month Term SOFR. The margin for benchmark borrowings ranges from 1.0% to 2.0%, and the 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.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
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. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Co-Syndication Agent and lender concurrently with the Credit Agreement.
Outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2024 under the Credit Agreement were $208 million, consisting of current borrowings of $5 million and long-term debt of $203 million; while outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2023 were $156 million, consisting of current borrowings of $5 million and long-term debt of $151 million. Letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $2.3 million at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
At June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate under our Credit Agreement was 5.7%, which consisted of $208 million in borrowings under Term SOFR, adjusted for the impact of the interest rate swap agreement on $100 million of borrowings. At December 31, 2023, the weighted average interest rate under our Credit Agreement was 5%, which consisted of $156 million in borrowings at 5% under Term SOFR, adjusted for the impact of the interest rate swap agreement on $100 million of borrowings. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our average daily alternative base rate loan balance was $1 million, compared to a balance of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and a balance of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
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 May 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement to transition from the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) to the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) for benchmark borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars.
In July 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, to provide for a new $125 million term loan (the “Term A-2 Loan”) and the use of funds available under the existing revolving facility to finance the acquisition of AX V Nissens III APS and its subsidiaries (“Nissens Automotive”) and related transaction costs. For additional information on our agreement to acquire Nissens Automotive see Note 19, “Subsequent Event”. The Term A-2 Loan matures five years after it is funded on the closing of the acquisition, and amortizes in quarterly installments of 1.25% in each of the first and second year, quarterly installments of 1.875% in the third year, and quarterly installments of 2.50% in each of the fourth and fifth year.
Polish Overdraft Facility
In November 2023, our Polish subsidiary, SMP Poland sp. z.o.o., further amended its overdraft facility with HSBC Continental Europe (Spolka Akcyjna) Oddzial w Polsce. The overdraft facility, as amended, provides for borrowings under the facility in euros and U.S. dollars. Under the amended terms, the overdraft facility provides for borrowings of up to Polish zloty 30 million (approximately $7.5 million) if borrowings are solely in Polish zloty, or up to 85% of the Polish zloty 30 million limit (approximately $6.4 million) if borrowings are in euros and/or U.S. dollars. The overdraft facility had an original maturity date in March 2024, 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. The facility automatically renewed in June 2024 to a September 2024 maturity date. Borrowings under the amended overdraft facility will bear interest at a rate equal to (1) the one month Warsaw Interbank Offered Rate (“WIBOR”) + 1.0% for borrowings in Polish zloty, (2) the one month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) + 1.0% for borrowings in euros, and (3) the Mid-Point of the Fed Target Range + 1.25% for borrowings in U.S. dollars. Borrowings under the overdraft facility are guaranteed by Standard Motor Products, Inc., the ultimate parent company. There were no borrowings outstanding under the overdraft facility at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

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.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
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 six months ended June 30, 2024:

|  | Shares |  |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share |
Balance at December 31, 2023 |  |  | 880,976 |  |  | $ | 29.48 |
Granted |  |  | 6,775 |  |  |  | 27.64 |

Balance at June 30, 2024 |  |  | 822,917 |  |  | $ | 29.48 |

We recorded compensation expense related to restricted shares and performance-based shares of $3 million ($2.3 million, net of tax) and $3.2 million ($2.4 million, net of tax) for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The unrecognized compensation expense related to our restricted and performance-based shares was $9.9 million at June 30, 2024, and is expected to be recognized as they vest over a weighted average period of 3.67 years and 0.83 years for employees and directors, respectively.
Note 12. Employee Benefits
We provide certain medical and dental care benefits to 13 former U.S. union employees. The postretirement medical and dental benefit obligation to the former union employees as of June 30, 2024, and the related net periodic benefit cost for the plan for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 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 2024, we made company contributions to the plan of $0.5 million related to calendar year 2023.
We also have an Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, we contributed to the trust an additional 68,700 shares from our treasury and released 68,700 shares from the trust leaving 200 shares remaining in the trust as of June 30, 2024.

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.
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was an asset of $5.9 million and $3.9 million, respectively, 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

|  |  | June 30, 2024 |  |  | December 31, 2023 |

Long-term investments | 2 |  |  | 7,573 |  |  |  | 7,573 |  |  |  | 7,468 |  |  |  | 7,468 |

(a) | As of June 30, 2024 cash and cash equivalents consist solely of cash of $26.2 million, which is classified as Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2023 cash and cash equivalents consist of cash of $29.5 million and cash equivalents of $3 million, which are classified as Level 1 and Level 2, respectively, under the fair value hierarchy.

Cash equivalents consist of certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months, or less. These securities are accounted for as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost, which approximates their fair values at June 30, 2024. 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 is obtained from an independent third party, 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. Long-term investments consist of certificates of deposit with original maturities in excess of twelve months. These securities are accounted for as held-to-maturity and recorded at amortized cost, which approximates their fair values at June 30, 2024.

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 June 30, 2024, approximately 1,500 cases were outstanding for which we may be responsible for any related liabilities. Since inception in September 2001 through June 30, 2024, the amounts paid for settled claims and awards of asbestos-related damages, including interest, were approximately $80.3 million. We do not have insurance coverage for the indemnity and defense costs associated with the claims we face.

STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
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 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.
In accordance with our policy to perform an annual actuarial evaluation in the third quarter of each year, an actuarial study was performed as of August 31, 2023. The results of the August 31, 2023 study included an estimate of our undiscounted liability for settlement payments and awards of asbestos-related damages, excluding legal costs, ranging from $84 million to $135.3 million for the period through 2065. The change from the prior year study, which was as of August 31,2022, was a $15.2 million increase for the low end of the range and a $23.7 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 high end of the range reflects our actual experience, our historical data and certain assumptions with respect to events that may occur in the future.
Based upon the results of the August 31, 2023 actuarial study, in September 2023 we increased our asbestos liability to $84 million, the low end of the range, and recorded an incremental pre-tax provision of $23.8 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, 2023 study, to range from $53.1 million to $105.2 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 $5.2 million and $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
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.

Overview
We are a leading manufacturer and distributor of premium replacement parts in the automotive aftermarket and a custom-engineered solutions provider to vehicle and equipment manufacturers in diverse non-aftermarket end markets. Our business is organized into three operating segments. Our automotive aftermarket business is comprised of two segments, Vehicle Control and Temperature Control, while our Engineered Solutions Segment offers a broad array of conventional and future-oriented technologies. We sell our products primarily to retailers, warehouse distributors, original equipment manufacturers and original equipment service part operations in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, Mexico and other Latin America countries.
Our Vehicle Control operating segment services our core automotive aftermarket customers, deriving its sales from three major product groups:– (1) Ignition, Emissions & Fuel Delivery, which includes the traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) dependent categories; (2) Electrical & Safety, which includes powertrain neutral vehicle technologies such as electrical switches/relays, safety related products such as anti-lock brake and vehicle speed sensors, tire pressure monitoring, park assist sensors, and advanced driver assistance components; and (3) Wire Sets & Other, which includes spark plug wire sets and other related products, and are product categories we have noted to be in secular decline based upon product life cycle.
Our Temperature Control operating segment services our core automotive aftermarket customers with thermal products, and is poised to benefit from the broader adoption of air conditioning and other thermal systems. These systems will provide passenger comfort regardless of the vehicles’ powertrain, and are being developed to cool batteries and other products used on electric vehicles. Segment offerings include sales from thermal products in the aftermarket business under two major product groups:– (1) AC System Components, which includes compressors, connecting lines, heat exchangers, and expansion devices; and (2) Other Thermal Components, which includes parts that provide engine, transmission, electric drive motor, and battery temperature management.

Our Engineered Solutions operating segment supplies custom-engineered solutions to vehicle and equipment manufacturers in highly diversified global end-markets such as commercial and light vehicles, construction, agriculture, power sports and marine. Segment offerings include product categories that offer a broad array of conventional and future-oriented technologies, including those that are specific to vehicle electrification as well as those that are powertrain-neutral.
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 June 30, 2024 and 2023.

|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |
(In thousands, except per share data) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
Net sales |  | $ | 389,829 |  |  | $ | 353,075 |
Gross profit |  |  | 111,447 |  |  |  | 101,269 |
Gross profit % |  |  | 28.6 | % |  |  | 28.7 | %

Operating income % |  |  | 6.4 | % |  |  | 7.7 | %
Earnings from continuing operations before income taxes |  |  | 24,433 |  |  |  | 24,697 |
Provision for income taxes |  |  | 6,109 |  |  |  | 6,289 |
Earnings from continuing operations |  |  | 18,324 |  |  |  | 18,408 |
Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes |  |  | (917 | ) |  |  | (9,221 | )
Net earnings |  |  | 17,407 |  |  |  | 9,187 |
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest |  |  | 344 |  |  |  | 50 |
Net earnings attributable to SMP |  |  | 17,063 |  |  |  | 9,137 |
Per share data attributable to SMP – Diluted: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Earnings from continuing operations |  | $ | 0.81 |  |  | $ | 0.83 |
Discontinued operations |  |  | (0.04 | ) |  |  | (0.42 | )
Net earnings per common share |  | $ | 0.77 |  |  | $ | 0.41 |

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were $389.8 million, an increase of $36.7 million, or 10.4%, compared to net sales of $353.1 million in the same period in 2023. Net sales increased in all our operating segments, when compared to the comparable period in the prior year.
The increase in net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the comparable period in the prior year reflects the impact of multiple factors including:

| • | stable demand in the automotive aftermarket business across our major product groups,

| • | warmer year-over-year weather conditions along with the timing of early season customer orders in our Temperature Control operating segment in 2024, and

| • | strong customer demand in our Engineered Solutions operating segment with successful results from our cross-selling efforts.

Gross margins as a percentage of net sales decreased very slightly to 28.6% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 28.7% in the second quarter of 2023. The gross margin percentage in our Temperature Control segment increased year-over-year, while the gross margin percentage decreased in both our Vehicle Control and Engineered Solutions segments. The gross margin percentage increase in our Temperature Control segment results from the impact of higher sales volumes, customer mix and the impact of cost control measures, while the gross margin percentage decrease in our Vehicle Control segment reflects the lingering inflationary increase in material and labor costs. Although Engineered Solutions’ gross margin percentages improved from levels reported in the first quarter of 2024, the Engineered Solutions’ gross margin percentage continued to be negatively impacted by inflationary cost increases. While we anticipate continued margin pressure resulting from inflationary headwinds, we believe that our annual cost savings initiatives coupled with customer pricing should help to offset this impact to our gross margins.

Index
Operating margin as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased to 6.4% as compared to 7.7% for the same period in 2023. Included in our operating margin were selling, general and administrative expenses of $83.9 million, or 21.5% of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $73.8 million, or 20.9% of net sales, for the same period in 2023. The $10.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023 is principally due to (1) $2.4 million of due diligence, legal and other professional fees related to our planned acquisition of Nissens Automotive, (2) increased rent and incremental expenses of approximately $1.3 million as we transition away from our Edwardsville, Kansas distribution center to our new distribution facility in Shawnee, Kansas, (3) higher interest related costs of $0.9 million incurred in our supply chain financing arrangements, and (4) higher distribution and freight costs of $3.1 million related to higher sales.
Overall, our core automotive aftermarket business remains stable, and we continue to be optimistic about the long-term growth potential of the complementary markets served in our Engineered Solutions operating segment.
New Distribution Facility in Shawnee, Kansas
In May 2023, we signed a lease for a new distribution facility in Shawnee, Kansas with a lease commencement date of July 1, 2023. The new facility will expand our total distribution network square footage to meet our growing demands in the automotive aftermarket industry. The new 575,000 square foot facility will replace our current 363,000 square foot facility in Edwardsville, Kansas, and integrate state-of-the-art technologies to deliver improved logistics capabilities, operational efficiencies, as well as enhanced employee, customer and supplier experiences. The new facility is located just five miles away from our Edwardsville facility, enabling us to retain our existing workforce avoiding the additional costs of hiring and training. The facility will have a phased opening that began in 2024 and will be fully operational in early 2025. We will incur additional costs in 2024 and 2025 during the phase-in period while we operate the two facilities.
Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program
During the second quarter of 2024, as part of our commitment to optimize our cost structure and provide professional development opportunities to our employees, we offered a voluntary incentive package of severance and other benefit enhancements to eligible employees in the United States and Canada. The offer period ended on June 14, 2024. During the second quarter of 2024 we recorded expenses of $2.6 million, with additional expenses to be recorded of approximately $3.1 million in the remainder of 2024, $0.4 million in 2025, and $0.1 million in 2026 for an aggregate cost of approximately $6.2 million. It is anticipated that the voluntary retirement incentive program will reduce operating expenses beginning in the second half of 2024. Expenses incurred pursuant to the program are recorded in restructuring and integration expenses in our statement of operations.
We continue to look for opportunities to reduce our operating cost structure to remain competitive while continuing to grow our business.

Index
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 maintaining inventory at levels to minimize potential 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.
Sustainability
Our Company was founded in 1919 on the values of integrity, common decency and respect for others. These values are embodied in our Code of Ethics, which has been adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company to serve as a statement of principles to guide our decision-making and reinforce our commitment to these values in all aspects of our business. These values also serve as the foundation for our continued focus on many important sustainability issues.
We have made significant strides with respect to our sustainability initiatives, building awareness of the environmental impact of our operations, and challenging ourselves to reduce our impact by reducing our usage of energy and water, reducing our generation of waste, increasing our recycling efforts and reducing our Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, we believe our product offering contributes to a greener car parc through several key product categories that are critical components in automotive systems designed to improve fuel economy and reduce harmful emissions, such as fuel injectors, exhaust gas recirculation valves, sensors and tubes, and evaporative emission control system components. We also bring to market alternative energy products, which utilize cleaner burning fuels or are designed for electric or hybrid electric vehicles, and we remanufacture key categories within our product portfolio, such as air conditioning compressors, diesel injectors and diesel pumps, through processes that save energy and reduce waste.
With each year, we intend to further our commitment to sustainability initiatives, improving our environmental stewardship, finding ways to give back to our communities, and enhancing the diversity and inclusion of our workforce while offering opportunities for development. Information on our sustainability initiatives can be found in our most current sustainability report and on our corporate website at ir.smpcorp.com under “Sustainability” and at smpcares.smpcorp.com. Information in our sustainability report and on our corporate websites regarding our sustainability initiatives are referenced for general information only and are not incorporated by reference in this Report.

Temperature Control’s net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $27.4 million, or 28.2%, to $124.5 million compared to $97.1 million in the same period of 2023. Temperature Control’s net sales for the second quarter of 2024 reflects the impact of the timing of early season customer orders in 2024 as compared to the second quarter of 2023. The strong customer orders in the second quarter of 2024 reflects the impact of a warm start to the season, while the lower Temperature Control net sales in the second quarter of 2023 reflected the impact of a cooler start to the season across key markets. Overall, full year results at Temperature Control will be dependent upon summer weather conditions and customer inventory levels.
Engineered Solutions’ net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $4.4 million, or 6.1%, to $76.6 million compared to $72.2 million in the same period of 2023. Overall, net sales in our Engineered Solutions operating segment showed year-over-year improvement driven by strong demand with successful results from our cross-selling efforts.

Gross Margins. Gross margins, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, decreased very slightly to 28.6% in the second quarter of 2024, compared to 28.7% in the second quarter of 2023. The following table summarizes gross margins by segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively (in thousands):

Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Vehicle Control |  |  | Temperature Control |  |  | Engineered Solutions |  |  | Other |  |  | Total |

Gross margins |  |  | 60,109 |  |  |  | 26,512 |  |  |  | 14,648 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | 101,269 |
Gross margin percentage |  |  | 32.7 | % |  |  | 27.3 | % |  |  | 20.3 | % |  |  | — |  |  |  | 28.7 | %

Compared to the second quarter of 2023, gross margins at Vehicle Control decreased 0.9 percentage points from 32.7% to 31.8%, gross margins at Temperature Control increased 2.1 percentage points from 27.3% to 29.4%, and gross margins at Engineered Solutions decreased 0.9 percentage points from 20.3% to 19.4%.
The gross margin percentage decrease in our Vehicle Control operating segment reflects the impact of the lingering inflationary increases in material and labor costs, which more than offset the positive impact of increased pricing and saving initiatives. The gross margin percentage increase in our Temperature Control operating segment reflects the impact of higher sales volumes, customer mix and the impact of cost control measures. Gross margins as a percentage of net sales in our Engineered Solutions operating segment decreased in the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the comparable period in 2023 driven primarily by inflationary cost increases. While we anticipate continued margin pressure resulting from inflationary headwinds, we believe that our annual cost savings initiatives coupled with our ability to pass through higher prices to our customers should help to offset much of this impact to our gross margins.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $83.9 million, or 21.5% of consolidated net sales, in the second quarter of 2024, as compared to $73.8 million, or 20.9% of consolidated net sales, in the second quarter of 2023. The $10.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the second quarter of 2024 is principally due to (1) $2.4 million of due diligence, legal and other professional fees related to our planned acquisition of Nissens Automotive, (2) increased rent and incremental expenses of approximately $1.3 million as we transition away from our Edwardsville, Kansas distribution center to our new distribution facility in Shawnee, Kansas, (3) higher interest related costs of $0.9 million incurred in our supply chain financing arrangements, and (4) higher distribution and freight costs of $3.1 million related to higher sales.
Restructuring and Integration Expenses. Restructuring and integration expenses were $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $0.3 million in the same period of 2023. Restructuring and integration expenses incurred in the second quarter of 2024 relate primarily to a voluntary retirement incentive program offered to eligible employees as part of our commitment to optimizing our cost structure and providing professional development opportunities to our employees. Expenses in the second quarter of 2024 of approximately $2.6 million related to the program consists of severance and other benefit enhancements.
Restructuring and integration expenses of $0.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 relate to the Cost Reduction Initiative announced in the fourth quarter of 2024. We anticipate that the Cost Reduction Initiative will be substantially completed by the end of 2024.

Index
Operating Income. Operating income was $25 million, or 6.4% of consolidated net sales, in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $27.2 million, or 7.7% of consolidated net sales, in the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease in operating income of $2.2 million is primarily the result of slightly lower gross margins as a percentage of net sales, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, including incremental distribution expansion costs and due diligence, legal and other professional fees related to our planned acquisition of Nissens Automotive, and higher restructuring and integration expenses, offset, in part, by the impact of higher net sales.
Other Non-Operating Income, Net. Other non-operating income, net was $2.2 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year increase in other non-operating income, net results from the increase in year-over-year equity income from our joint ventures and the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Equity income from our joint ventures increased irrespective of the year-over-year decline in the equity income of Gwo Yng, reflecting the impact of our acquisition of an additional 15% equity interest in Gwo Yng in July 2023. Commencing on the date of our equity interest increase, the financial results of Gwo Yng were no longer accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Instead, Gwo Yng’s financial results are reported on a consolidated basis, resulting in lower joint venture equity income. As such, other non-operating income, net includes equity income of Gwo Yng of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2023.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $3.3 million in the second quarter of 2023. The year-over-year decrease in interest expense reflects the impact of lower average outstanding borrowings in second quarter of 2024 when compared to the second quarter of 2023.
Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision in the second quarter of 2024 was $6.1 million at an effective tax rate of 25.0% compared to $6.3 million at an effective tax rate of 25.5% for the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate was essentially flat year-over-year.
Loss from Discontinued Operations. During the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax was $0.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively. Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, reflects legal expenses and other costs associated with our asbestos-related liability. During the second quarter of 2023, we recorded an $11 million pre-tax provision that arose from the May 11, 2023 court ruling in a breach of contract claim in connection with a legal proceeding with a third party. 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. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest relates to the minority shareholders’ interest in our 70% owned joint venture in Hong Kong, with operations in Shanghai and Wuxi, China (“Trombetta Asia, Ltd.”) and, in our 80% ownership in Gwo Yng, commencing in July 2023 upon the completion of our step acquisition. Net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest were $344,000 and $50,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Vehicle Control’s net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $5.9 million, or 1.6%, to $374.3 million compared to $368.4 million in the same period of 2023. Demand in the Vehicle Control aftermarket segment remains relatively stable across our major product groups.
Temperature Control’s net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $26.6 million, or 15.7%, to $196.1 million compared to $169.5 million in the same period of 2023. Temperature Control’s net sales for the first six months of 2024 reflect the impact of the timing of pre and early season customer orders in 2024 as compared to the first six months of 2023, and the impact of strong second quarter 2024 net sales when compared to the comparable prior period. The strong net sales in the second quarter of 2024 reflects the impact of a warm start to the season compared to lower net sales in the second quarter of 2023 resulting from the impact of a cooler start to the season across all markets. Overall, full year results at Temperature Control will be dependent upon summer weather conditions and customer inventory levels.
Engineered Solutions’ net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $7.6 million, or 5.3%, to $150.9 million compared to $143.3 million in the same period of 2023. Overall, net sales in our Engineered Solutions operating segment showed a year-over-year improvement driven by strong demand with successful results from our cross-selling efforts.

Index
Gross Margins. Gross margins, as a percentage of consolidated net sales, decreased to 27.9% in the first six months of 2024, compared to 28.3% during the same period in 2023. The following table summarizes gross margins by segment for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively (in thousands):

Six Months Ended June 30, |  | Vehicle Control |  |  | Temperature Control |  |  | Engineered Solutions |  |  | Other |  |  | Total |

Gross margin percentage |  |  | 32.2 | % |  |  | 26.9 | % |  |  | 19.7 | % |  |  | — |  |  |  | 28.3 | %

Compared to the first six months of 2023, gross margins at Vehicle Control decreased 0.4 percentage points from 32.2% to 31.8%, gross margins at Temperature Control increased 1.8 percentage points from 26.9% to 28.7%, and gross margins at Engineered Solutions decreased 2.6 percentage points from 19.7% to 17.1%.
The gross margin percentage decrease in our Vehicle Control operating segment reflects the impact of the lingering inflationary increases in material and labor costs, which more than offset the positive impact of pricing and saving initiatives. The gross margin percentage increase in our Temperature Control operating segment reflects the impact of higher sales volumes, customer mix and the impact of cost control measures. Gross margins as a percentage of net sales in our Engineered Solutions operating segment decreased in the second quarter of 2024 when compared to the comparable period in 2023 driven primarily by unfavorable customer sales mix and inflationary cost increases. While we anticipate continued margin pressure resulting from inflationary headwinds, we believe that our annual cost savings initiatives coupled with our ability to pass through higher prices to our customers should help to offset much of this impact to our gross margins.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $158.6 million, or 22.0% of consolidated net sales, in the first six months of 2024, as compared to $143.5 million, or 21.1% of consolidated net sales in the first six months of 2023. The $15.1 million increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the first six months of 2023 is principally due to (1) $2.3 million of due diligence, legal and other professional fees related to our planned acquisition of Nissens Automotive, (2) increased rent and incremental expenses of approximately $2.4 million as we transition away from our Edwardsville, Kansas distribution center to our new distribution facility in Shawnee, Kansas, (3) higher interest related costs of $1.9 million incurred in our supply chain financing arrangements and (4) higher distribution and freight costs of $5.4 million related to higher sales.
Restructuring and Integration Expenses. Restructuring and integration expenses were $2.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $1.2 million in the comparable period of 2023. Restructuring and integration expenses incurred in the first six months of 2024 relate primarily to a voluntary retirement incentive program offered to eligible employees as part of our commitment to optimizing our cost structure and provide professional development opportunities to our employees. Expenses in the first six months of 2024 of approximately $2.6 million related to the program consists of severance and other benefit enhancements.
Restructuring and integration expenses of $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 relate to the Cost Reduction Initiative announced in the fourth quarter of 2024. We anticipate that the Cost Reduction Initiative will be substantially completed by the end of 2024.

Operating Income. Operating income was $39.6 million, or 5.5% of consolidated net sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $47.9 million, or 7% of consolidated net sales, in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The year-over-year decrease in operating income of $8.3 million is primarily the result of lower gross margins as a percentage of net sales, higher selling, general and administrative expenses, including the incremental distribution expansion costs and due diligence, legal and other professional fees related to our planned acquisition of Nissens Automotive, and higher restructuring and integration expenses, offset, in part, by the impact of higher net sales.
Other Non-Operating Income, Net. Other non-operating income, net was $3 million in the six months of 2024, compared to $1 million for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year increase in other non-operating income, net results from the increase in year-over-year equity income from our joint ventures and the favorable impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Equity income from our joint ventures increased irrespective of the year-over-year decline in the equity income of Gwo Yng, reflecting the impact of our acquisition of an additional 15% equity interest in Gwo Yng in July 2023. Commencing on the date of our equity interest increase, the financial results of Gwo Yng were no longer accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Instead, Gwo Yng’s financial results are reported on a consolidated basis. As such, other non-operating income, net includes equity income of Gwo Yng of $0.6 million in the first six months of 2023.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $4.8 million in the six months of 2024, compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2023. The year-over-year decrease in interest expense reflects the impact of lower average outstanding borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the comparable period of 2023.
Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $9.5 million at an effective tax rate of 25.0%, compared to $10.7 million at an effective tax rate of 25.5% for the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate was essentially flat year-over-year.
Loss from Discontinued Operations. During the first six months of 2024 and 2023, the loss from discontinued operations, net of tax was $2 million and $10 million, respectively. Loss from discontinued operations, net of income tax, reflects legal expenses and other costs associated with our asbestos-related liability. During the first six months of 2023, we recorded an $11 million pre-tax provision that arose from the May 11, 2023 court ruling in a breach of contract claim in connection with a legal proceeding with a third party. 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. Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest relates to the minority shareholders’ interest in our 70% owned joint venture in Hong Kong, with operations in Shanghai and Wuxi, China (“Trombetta Asia, Ltd.”) and, in our 80% ownership in Gwo Yng, commencing in July 2023 upon the completion of our step acquisition. Net earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interest were $510,000 and $89,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Restructuring and Integration Programs

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary cash requirements include working capital, capital expenditures, regular quarterly dividends, stock repurchases, principal and interest payments on indebtedness and acquisitions. The following table summarizes our primary sources of funds including ongoing net cash flows from operating activities and availability under our Credit Agreement.

Operating Activities. During the first six months of 2024, cash used in operating activities was $10.1 million compared to cash provided by operating activities of $39.4 million in the same period of 2023. The increase in cash used in operating activities resulted primarily from the larger year-over-year increase in accounts receivable of $81.1 million compared to an increase in accounts receivable of $48.3 million in the same period of 2023, and the increase in inventories of $3.6 million compared to a decrease in inventories of $30.9 million in the same period of 2023, offset, in part, by the larger year-over-year increase in sundry payables and accrued expenses of $30 million compared to an increase of $2.8 million in the same period of 2023 and by the increase in net earnings.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we generated significant operating cash flow by reducing our inventory to more normalized levels while actively managing our accounts receivable and accounts payable. We continue to actively manage our working capital to maximize our operating cash flow.
Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities was $22.9 million in the first six months of 2024, compared to $9.4 million in the same period of 2023. Investing activities during the first six months of 2024 and 2023 primarily consisted of capital expenditures of $22.9 million and $9.5 million, respectively. The year-over-year increase in capital expenditures relates to the implementation of upgraded automation equipment, racking and other equipment, as we invest in the start-up of our new distribution facility in Shawnee, Kansas.
Financing Activities. Cash provided by financing activities was $28.5 million in the first six months of 2024 as compared to $29.1 million in the same period of 2023. During the first six months of 2024, we (1) increased our borrowings under our Credit Agreement by $52 million; (2) paid dividends to SMP shareholders of $12.7 million; and (3) made cash payments for the repurchase of shares of our common stock of $10.4 million. Cash provided by borrowings under our Credit Agreement in the six months ended June 30, 2024 was used to fund our operating activities, investing activities, pay dividends, and repurchase shares of our common stock.
During the first six months of 2023, we (1) reduced our borrowings under our Credit Agreement by $16.5 million; and (2) paid dividends to SMP shareholders of $12.5 million. Cash provided by our operating activities was used to reduce our borrowings under our Credit Agreement, fund our investing activities and pay dividends.
Quarterly dividends to SMP shareholders were paid at a rate of $0.29 in both 2024 and 2023.

Liquidity.
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, the Company entered into a five-year Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Agreement”) which matures on June 1, 2027. The Credit Agreement provides for a $500 million credit facility comprised of a $100 million term loan facility (the “Term A-1 Loan”) and a $400 million multi-currency revolving credit facility available in U.S. dollars, euros, British pound sterling, Swiss francs, Canadian dollars and other currencies as agreed to by the administrative agent and the lenders (the “revolving facility”). 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.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all outstanding borrowings under the 2015 Credit Agreement, and are used for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Term A-1 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. 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 lenders not currently party to the Credit Agreement, increase the revolving facility 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) any voluntary prepayment of term loans, plus (z) any amount that, after giving effect to the increase, the pro forma First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) does not exceed 2.5 to 1.0.
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 a margin, or an alternate base rate plus a 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 1.10%. The Term A-1 Loan was made at one-month Term SOFR. The margin for benchmark borrowings ranges from 1.0% to 2.0%, and the 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. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Co-Syndication Agent and lender concurrently with the Credit Agreement.
Outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2024 under the Credit Agreement were $208 million, consisting of current borrowings of $5 million and long-term debt of $203 million; while outstanding borrowings at December 31, 2023 were $156 million, consisting of current borrowings of $5 million and long-term debt of $151 million. Letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $2.3 million at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
At June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate under our Credit Agreement was 5.7%, which consisted of $208 million in borrowings under Term SOFR, adjusted for the impact of the interest rate swap agreement on $100 million of borrowings. At December 31, 2023, the weighted average interest rate under our Credit Agreement was 5%, which consisted of $156 million in borrowings at 5% under Term SOFR, adjusted for the impact of the interest rate swap agreement on $100 million of borrowings. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, our average daily alternative base rate loan balance was $1 million, compared to a balance of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and a balance of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Index
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 May 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement to transition from CDOR to CORRA for benchmark borrowings denominated in Canadian dollars.
In July 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, to provide for a new $125 million term loan (the “Term A-2 Loan”) and the use of funds available under the existing revolving facility to finance the acquisition of Nissens Automotive and related transaction costs. The Term A-2 Loan matures five years after it is funded on the closing of the acquisition, and amortizes in quarterly installments of 1.25% in each of the first and second year, quarterly installments of 1.875% in the third year, and quarterly installments of 2.50% in each of the fourth and fifth year.
In November 2023, our Polish subsidiary, SMP Poland sp. z.o.o., further amended its overdraft facility with HSBC Continental Europe (Spolka Akcyjna) Oddzial w Polsce. The overdraft facility, as amended, provides for borrowings under the facility in euros and U.S. dollars. Under the amended terms, the overdraft facility provides for borrowings of up to Polish zloty 30 million (approximately $7.5 million) if borrowings are solely in Polish zloty, or up to 85% of the Polish zloty 30 million limit (approximately $6.4 million) if borrowings are in euros and/or U.S. dollars. The overdraft facility had an original maturity date in March 2024, 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. The facility automatically renewed in June 2024 to a September 2024 maturity date. Borrowings under the amended overdraft facility will bear interest at a rate equal to (1) the one month WIBOR + 1.0% for borrowings in Polish zloty, (2) the one month EURIBOR + 1.0% for borrowings in euros, and (3) the Mid-Point of the Fed Target Range + 1.25% for borrowings in U.S. dollars. Borrowings under the overdraft facility are guaranteed by Standard Motor Products, Inc., the ultimate parent company. There were no borrowings outstanding under the overdraft facility at both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
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 accounted for as a sale.
Pursuant to these agreements, we sold $230.1 million and $400.9 million of receivables during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $211.6 million and $382.5 million for the comparable periods in 2023. Receivables presented at financial institutions and not yet collected as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were approximately $14.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and remained in our accounts receivable balance as of that date. 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 $13.4 million and $23.4 million related to the sale of receivables was included in selling, general and administrative expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $12.4 million and $21.5 million for the comparable periods in 2023.
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, or delays or failures in collecting trade accounts receivables. The utility of the supply chain financing arrangements also depends upon a benchmark reference rate for the purpose of determining the discount rate applicable to each arrangement. If the 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.

Index
In July 2022, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $30 million of our common stock under a stock repurchase program. Stock will be purchased from time to time in the open market, or through private transactions, as market conditions warrant. Under this program, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 241,307 and 321,229 shares of our common stock at a total cost of $7.8 million and $10.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $19.6 million available for future stock purchases under the program. From the end of the second quarter through July 30, 2024, there have been no additional repurchases of our common stock under the program.
Material Cash Commitments
Material cash commitments as of June 30, 2024 consist of required cash payments to service our outstanding borrowings of $208 million under our Credit Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent, the future minimum cash requirements of $130.8 million through 2034 under operating leases, and expected future cash payments relating to our restructuring activities of $6.3 million with approximately $2.6 million paid in the remainder of 2024, approximately $3.3 million in 2025 and approximately $0.4 million thereafter. All of our other cash commitments as of June 30, 2024 are not material. For additional information related to our material cash commitments, see Note 4, “Restructuring and Integration Expenses”, 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 geo-political risks, future increases in interest rates, and significant inflationary cost increases in raw materials, labor and transportation that we are unable to pass through our customers, macroeconomic uncertainty, 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, 2023.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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. There have been no material changes to these and other 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, 2023.
You should be aware that preparation of our consolidated financial statements 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 the disruptions in the supply chain caused by geo-political risks, future increases in interest rates, inflation, macroeconomic uncertainty, 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 to 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.
As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $208 million of outstanding borrowings under our Credit Agreement, of which approximately $108 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 $0.8 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold $230.1 million and $400.9 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 $2.3 million and $4 million negative impact on our earnings or cash flows during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, 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, 2023.

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 June 30, 2024, 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.
