Consolidated net sales for 2010 were $810.9 million, compared to consolidated net sales of $735.4 million in 2009. Earnings from continuing operations for 2010 were $24.7 million or $1.09 per diluted share, compared to $5.9 million or 31 cents per diluted share in 2009. Excluding non-operational gains and losses identified on the attached reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP measures, earnings from continuing operations for 2010 and 2009 were $24.2 million or $1.07 per diluted share and $13.5 million or 70 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 to see that our strong results continued through the fourth quarter. We achieved a sales increase of roughly 8% for the quarter and 10% for the year. Adjusting for the sale of our European distribution business, in November 2009, the sales increases were 11.9% for the quarter and 14.4% for the year.
“As has been well documented, the entire aftermarket has experienced solid growth, aided by an ageing car population and the closing of car dealerships. We also benefited from a hot summer for our Temperature Control business, and growth in the wire business acquired from Federal Mogul.
“Our earnings grew at an even faster rate, with Non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations going from 70 cents to $1.07, as a result of the sales increase, plus the benefits of a multi-year effort in cost reduction. A major component of the improvement was a year over year increase in gross margin from 24.1% to 25.6%.
“From a cash flow perspective, we reduced debt by $10 million, from $76 million to $66 million, despite a rise in inventories to support the sales growth. In January we announced an increase in our quarterly dividend, from 5 cents to 7 cents per share.
“In all, we are pleased with 2010 and look forward to 2011.”
