Standard Motor reports Q2 non-GAAP EPS 84c, consensus 98c

Reports Q2 revenue $353.1M, consensus $374.45M. Eric Sills, Standard Motor Products’ CEO President stated, “Overall, sales decreased 1.8% versus last year’s strong second quarter, while year-to-date we were roughly flat to 2022. The cooler and wetter conditions in the quarter had a negative impact on our aftermarket business, particularly on our Temperature Control segment. Additionally, we continue to experience the impact of a recent bankruptcy of a large aftermarket customer, negatively impacting our quarterly sales by 1.6%. While we believe in the long run that volume will return, as the business has either been acquired or will be absorbed by other accounts, in the near term it will continue to be a headwind.”
