Consolidated net sales for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were $500.8 million, compared to consolidated net sales of $480.6 million during the comparable period in 2012.  Earnings from continuing operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 were $26 million or $1.12 per diluted share, compared to $19.2 million or 83 cents per diluted share in the comparable period of 2012.  Excluding non-operational gains and losses identified on the attached reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP measures, earnings from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $26 million or $1.12 per diluted share and $19 million or 82 cents per diluted share, respectively.

Commenting on the results, Mr. Lawrence I. Sills, Standard Motor Products’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are pleased with our second quarter results. We continued to show significant improvement in net earnings and earnings per share for the quarter and for six months.

“The primary driver was gross margin, which increased roughly three percentage points for the quarter and for the six months. We are seeing the fruits of our efforts over the past several years – with increased basic manufacturing, continued growth in our low cost manufacturing operations, and savings from consolidating and streamlining our recent acquisitions.

“Regarding sales, our Engine Management division had sales increases for the quarter and for the six months, in line with, or slightly better than, industry averages. Our one weak spot was Temperature Control sales, which were behind 2012 in the second quarter, including the benefit of the CWI acquisition. The fall off in sales led to a slight decline in Temperature Control operating profit.

“The primary cause for the Temperature Control sales decline was the cool and wet spring, as most of our accounts were well behind the prior year in their “out the door” sales for April and May. In June, however, their sales matched or slightly exceeded the prior year.

“We believe we are also seeing some inventory consolidation, as some of our accounts are combining their Four Seasons and CWI inventories. This is essentially a one-time event.

“In July, certain areas of the country experienced a heat wave. Some of this will be reflected in third quarter volume, but with the season rapidly drawing to a close, many of our accounts will not replace the product that was sold, and instead use this as an opportunity to reduce their inventory going into the winter months.

“Despite the decline in sales, our Temperature Control gross margin increased approximately two percentage points for the quarter and for the six months. We are beginning to see the benefits of consolidating the CWI operations into our facilities in Grapevine, Texas and Reynosa, Mexico.

“As we have said many times, our Temperature Control business is weather dependent, and results can fluctuate in the short term. In the long run, however, we are pleased with the continuing improvement of this business.

“Our cash flow needs normally peak at mid-year due to the seasonality of our business. Including our latest acquisitions, our total debt at the end of June 2013 was $68.5 million, a reduction of $28.8 million from June 2012.

“In sum, despite the drop in sales in Temperature Control, we are satisfied with our second quarter results, both financially and operationally, though, as always, we work for continued improvement.”

The Board of Directors has approved payment of a quarterly dividend of eleven cents per share on the common stock outstanding. The dividend will be paid on September 3, 2013 to stockholders of record on August 19, 2013.
