Nissens Automotive Update A major focus this year was integrating Nissens Automotive. Because our strategies and product categories align closely, our objectives are centered on supplier consolidation, product cost savings, complementary catalog expansion, and targeted commercial efficiencies. We set a goal of achieving $8–$12 million in cost reduction synergies within 24 months, and we are well on track to meet that target. As we enter the new year, we are continuing to drive savings while also pursuing opportunities in cross selling, new category coverage, and strengthening relationships with shared global customers. The team’s engagement and momentum remain exceptionally strong. Business Performance 2025 was another solid year of execution. Nissens contributed meaningfully from the start, and healthy aftermarket fundamentals supported broad based growth. Sales increased 22%, and adjusted diluted earnings per share grew nearly 27%. Vehicle Control delivered consistent gains across its non-discretionary categories. Temperature Control continued to outperform, even with a milder summer, as customers managed inventories effectively to meet early season demand. Our Engineered Solutions business is subject to more cyclical volatility than the aftermarket due to the wide range of new vehicle and equipment end- markets. Demand was sluggish to start the year, but fortunately this trend reversed mid-2025 as the segment experienced sequential improvement. And lastly, Nissens performed better than our expectations during our first full year of ownership. Strong sales and profits meaningfully contributed to SMPs overall solid performance, and we look forward to the exciting opportunities ahead for this segment. TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS ERIC P. SILLS Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer 2025 was a record year for SMP, with sales approaching $1.8 billion. Our North American aftermarket businesses performed well, we completed a successful first full year with Nissens, and we experienced a nice rebound in our Engineered Solutions segment, all while navigating a new tariff environment that required close collaboration with customers and channel partners. * See the Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures on the page facing the inside back cover of this Annual Report Full Year QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 $0.29 $0.31 $0.27 $0.29 $0.25 $0.35 $0.30 $0.25 $0.20 $0.15 $0.10 $0.05 DILUTED EPS (W/O SPECIAL ITEMS)* $5.00 $4.00 $3.00 $2.00 $1.00 $0.00 $4.45 $3.59 $4.02 $3.17 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 $2.92 CONSOLIDATED NET SALES Full Year (Millions) 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 $2,000 $1,500 $1,000 $500 $0 $1,371.8 $1,358.3 $1,463.8 $1,791.2 $1,298.8 $210.0 $180.0 $150.0 $120.0 $90.0 $60.0 $30.0 $0.0 EBITDA (W/O SPECIAL ITEMS)* Full Year (Millions) $146.1 $140.1 $200.9 $161.8 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 $126.7
Looking Ahead Economic uncertainty and volatility remain on the forefront heading into 2026. A bright spot is the stability of the global aftermarket sector that continues to demonstrate enduring resilience, supported by a large and aging vehicle population, the non-discretionary nature of essential repairs, and the counter-cyclical behavior of vehicle maintenance spending as consumers have a propensity to keep their cars on the road and running. The tariff situation continues to be fluid. Our global footprint has helped us effectively manage the tariff environment, and we will continue collaborating with customers and channel partners to mitigate challenges and adapt as conditions evolve. As we move to 2026, our global transformation continues. Beyond cost synergies, Nissens has introduced several new product categories that, although in early stages, should begin contributing as the year progresses. Longer term, we see exciting opportunities to drive growth, margin expansion, and value creation. Our greatest strength remains our people, their ability to execute, innovate, and deliver on the initiatives that will move SMP forward. I am confident in the foundation we have built, and in the path ahead for our shareholders worldwide. Thank you for your continued trust and support.
