SMP depends on a few large aftermarket customers — in 2025 three (unnamed) customers each exceeded 10% of consolidated net sales at 25.2%, 18.6% and 10.5%; loss of the top customer would materially hurt results.

“In 2025, three customers each accounted for more than 10% of our consolidated net sales at 25.2 % , 18.6 % and 10.5 %, respectively.”

SMP carries product-liability exposure including asbestos-related contingent liabilities (a long-running aftermarket-brake-parts exposure).

“we operate manufacturing plants in, and rely on imports primarily from Canada, Mexico, China and the European Union to serve our customers in the United States, and therefore, we are exposed to the adverse impacts of higher tariffs on imported raw materials, components and finished goods.”
