A Message from Our CEO

To our shareholders, customers, employees, and partners:

As I reflect on another year at Standard Motor Products, I am proud of what our team has accomplished — and energized by the opportunities that lie ahead. We operate in an industry that is undergoing profound transformation, and SMP is uniquely positioned to lead through it.

Our Automotive Aftermarket division continues to deliver consistent performance, supported by a vehicle fleet that is aging and increasingly complex. Professional technicians rely on our parts every day, and our commitment to quality, coverage, and availability has never been stronger.

Our Engineered Solutions division is where I see our most exciting growth potential. As the automotive industry accelerates toward electrification and advanced driver assistance systems, demand for the sophisticated electronic components and sensors we manufacture is growing rapidly. We have invested significantly in our engineering capabilities, our facilities, and our talent to capture this opportunity.

Across both divisions, we remain focused on the fundamentals: operational excellence, disciplined capital allocation, and a relentless commitment to our customers. We are also deepening our sustainability practices — reducing our environmental footprint, investing in our communities, and building a workplace where every employee can thrive.

I am grateful for the trust our shareholders place in us, the dedication of our employees, and the partnerships we have built with customers and suppliers around the world. The next chapter of Standard Motor Products will be defined by the same qualities that have sustained us for more than 100 years: integrity, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Thank you for your continued support.
