Standard Motor Products (SMP) grew profitably in Q1 2026. Net sales rose to $451.2 million from $413.4 million, driven by strong growth in Vehicle Control, Nissens Automotive and Engineered Solutions, with Temperature Control roughly flat after a strong 2025.
Gross margin improved to 30.8% from 30.2%, helped by higher volumes, cost controls and the absence of a $4.6 million inventory fair value amortization that reduced 2025 margins. Operating income increased to $34.1 million versus $24.5 million, lifting operating margin to 7.6%.
Diluted EPS attributable to SMP rose to $0.75 from $0.56, including a $0.06 loss per share from discontinued asbestos-related operations. Operating cash flow was a seasonal outflow of $41.9 million, mainly from higher receivables, while total debt increased to $658.6 million and cash stood at $59.2 million.
Standard Motor Products reported first-quarter 2026 results with net sales of $451.2 million, up 9.1% from the prior year. GAAP diluted earnings from continuing operations were $0.81 per share versus $0.61, while non-GAAP diluted EPS rose to $0.82 from $0.81 and adjusted EBITDA reached $44.5 million versus $42.8 million.
The company reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance for low to mid-single digit sales growth and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 11%–12%. Net debt was $599.4 million with leverage of 3.0x, and the board approved a quarterly dividend of $0.33 per share, payable June 1, 2026.
