Standard Motor Products, Inc. Announces
Fourth Quarter and Year End 2012 Results
New York, NY, March 4, 2013......Standard Motor Products, Inc. (NYSE: SMP), an automotive replacement parts manufacturer and distributor, reported today its consolidated financial results for the three months and for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Consolidated net sales for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $192.4 million, compared to consolidated net sales of $174.2 million during the comparable quarter in 2011. Earnings from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $6.3 million or 27 cents per diluted share, compared to $29.5 million or $1.29 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2011. Included in our fourth quarter 2011 (and year-end) results was a non-recurring, non-cash benefit in our tax provision of $24.3 million, primarily related to the reversal of a significant portion of our U.S. deferred tax valuation allowance and other tax adjustments. Excluding non-operational gains and losses identified on the attached reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures, earnings from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $6.5 million or 28 cents, compared to $3.9 million or 17 cents per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Consolidated net sales for 2012 were $948.9 million, compared to consolidated net sales of $874.6 million in 2011. Earnings from continuing operations for 2012 were $43 million or $1.86 per diluted share, compared to $64.3 million or $2.78 per diluted share in 2011. Excluding non-operational gains and losses identified on the attached reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures, earnings from continuing operations for 2012 and 2011 were $42.3 million or $1.83 per diluted share and $36.1 million or $1.57 per diluted share, respectively.
Mr. Lawrence I. Sills, Standard Motor Products’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are very pleased with our 2012 results. For the second year in a row we set records for sales, profit and cash flow. Further, we have taken steps which we believe will strengthen the Company in the years ahead.
“Sales were 10.4% ahead of 2011 for the fourth quarter and 8.5% ahead for the year. While the bulk of the increase came from our recent acquisitions, our major customers continue to report low single digit sales growth in our core product lines.
“Our gross margin increased more than a full point for the year, from 26.2% to 27.4%. This is the result of our continuing efforts to increase in-house manufacturing, expand production in low cost countries, and reduce purchase costs.
“We are pleased with our progress integrating our recent acquisitions. We acquired Forecast Trading Corporation, a leader in economy line Engine Management products, towards the end of 2011. We have maintained the customer base, and achieved savings through consolidating our product lines and eliminating duplication in SG&A.
“Our acquisition of Compressor Works has been well received by our customers. By the end of the first quarter of 2013, we will have relocated their manufacturing to our existing compressor plant in Reynosa, Mexico, and their shipping to our distribution center in Lewisville, Texas. We anticipate margin improvements from these consolidations.
“In both of these acquisitions, the key employees have agreed to stay with the Company. We are confident they will make important contributions in the years ahead.
“Since the beginning of 2013 we have completed two additional transactions. In January we acquired a minority interest in Orange Electronic Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensors, located in Taiwan. An industry market research organization predicts that this product line will triple over the next five years. Orange has been our primary supplier for TPMS sensors. We are pleased that we will now have an enhanced relationship with Orange, and we look forward to working together with them in this increasingly important product category.
“In February we acquired the Original Equipment business from Standard Motor Products Holdings Ltd., our former affiliate in the U.K. The business at present is relatively small, about $8 million annually, but we believe we will be in a position to grow this business. The bulk of the products are designed and manufactured in our factory in Bialystok, Poland, which offers both high technical skills and low operating costs. We will now have a more direct relationship with customers and prospects.
“Our cash flow remains strong. We generated roughly $94 million cash from operations in 2012 to fund our acquisitions, share buybacks and dividends. Net of these uses of cash, we also reduced total debt from $73 million at December 2011 to $41 million at December 2012. As a result of our cash flow and our continued increase in profitability, we were pleased to raise the quarterly dividend from 9 cents to 11 cents, effective March 1. We are also initiating a new share buyback program for 2013 in the amount of $6 million. This is in addition to our outstanding authorization carry forward of $864 thousand from 2012.
“In summary, we are pleased to invest for the future while at the same time reward shareholders with increasing dividends and share repurchase programs.”
