Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

On November 1, 2024 (the "closing date"), Standard Motor Products, Inc. (“Standard Motor Products,” “SMP,” or the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of SMP Nissens III ApS (formerly known as AX V Nissens III ApS) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (“Nissens Automotive”), pursuant to the terms of a Share Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of July 5, 2024, by and among the Company, the sellers party thereto, and Axcel V K/S, as the sellers’ representative. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired the entire share capital of Nissens Automotive for €366 million ($397 million), after closing adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 gives effect to the Acquisition, as if this transaction had been completed on September 30, 2024 and combines the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Standard Motor Products as of September 30, 2024 with Nissens Automotive’s unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared as if the Acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023. These unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma combined income statements are collectively referred to as the pro forma financial information. The pro forma financial information has been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Standard Motor Products and Nissens Automotive.

The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:

●The accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma combined financial information;

●The separate audited consolidated financial statements of Standard Motor Products as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes, included in Standard Motor Products' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023;

●The separate unaudited consolidated financial statements of Standard Motor Products as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the related notes, included in Standard Motor Products' Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024;

●The separate historical audited consolidated financial statements of Nissens Automotive as of and for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024, and the related notes, included in Nissens Automotive’s financial statements and audit report for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2024.

The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses” as adopted by the SEC on May 20, 2020. Article 11 permits presentation of reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”). The Company has elected not to present Management’s Adjustments and is only presenting transaction accounting adjustments in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements.

Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the Acquisition and the other related transactions occurred on the dates indicated. Further, the unaudited pro forma combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of Standard Motor Products following the completion of the Acquisition and the other related transactions. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed. The pro forma financial information does not include adjustments to reflect any potential revenue, synergies or dis-synergies, or cost savings that may be achievable in connection with the Acquisition, or the associated costs that may be necessary to achieve such revenues, synergies, or cost savings.

Accounting for the Acquisition

The Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method, with Standard Motor Products as the accounting acquirer, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under this method of accounting, the aggregate purchase consideration will be allocated to Nissens Automotive’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of completion of the Acquisition. The process of valuing the net assets of Nissens Automotive immediately prior to the Acquisition, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary. Accordingly, the aggregate purchase consideration allocation and related adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value. Refer to Note 2 - Basis of Presentation for more information.

Standard Motor Products financed the Acquisition primarily with borrowings under a new five-year credit agreement entered into on September 16, 2024, with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent and a syndicate of lenders (the "2024 Credit Agreement") as well as with cash from the combined company balance sheets. Refer to Notes 6(g) and 7(c) for more information.

Standard Motor Products' financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") while Nissens Automotive’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The accounting policies used in the preparation of the pro forma financial information are those set out in Standard Motor Products' audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. The conformation of Nissens Automotive’s accounting policies along with Standard Motor Products' accounting policies is described below in Note 3.

The transaction accounting adjustments are preliminary, based upon available information as of the date of filing the Current Report on Form 8-K/A to which this pro forma financial information is included as an Exhibit, and prepared solely for the purpose of this pro forma financial information. These adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and will be different from the adjustments that may be determined based on final acquisition accounting, and these differences could be material. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on the consideration paid for the Acquisition, cash on hand and indebtedness adjustments, and the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This assessment will not be completed until Standard Motor Products reports its results for the year ended December 31, 2024 and through the measurement period. The estimated fair values assigned in this pro forma financial information are preliminary and represent Standard Motor Products' current best estimate of fair value and are subject to revision.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted)

Note 1 – Description of Transaction

On July 5, 2024, Standard Motor Products entered into an agreement to acquire Nissens Automotive, a leading European automotive parts manufacturer and distributor of aftermarket engine cooling and air conditioning products. The transaction closed on November 1, 2024. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, SMP acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Nissens Automotive. The preliminary fair value of consideration transferred was €366 million ($397 million), after closing adjustments.

In connection with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into a credit agreement on September 16, 2024 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “2024 Credit Agreement") which provides for borrowings of approximately $750 million consisting of:

•$430 million multi-currency revolving credit facility;

•$10 million multi-currency revolving credit facility which will be available to wholly-owned Danish subsidiaries of the Company;

•$200 million delayed draw term loan facility; and

•€100 million delayed draw term loan facility.

Borrowings under the 2024 Credit Agreement were used to finance the Company’s acquisition of Nissens Automotive and related transaction costs.

Note 2 - Basis of Presentation

The pro forma combined balance sheet was prepared using the historical unaudited balance sheets of Standard Motor Products and Nissens Automotive as of September 30, 2024. Standard Motor Products' most recent fiscal year ended on December 31, 2023, and Nissens Automotive's most recent fiscal year ended on April 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations were prepared using the historical:

•audited consolidated statement of operations of Standard Motor Products for the year ended December 31, 2023;

•unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Standard Motor Products for the nine months ended September 30, 2024; and

•unaudited consolidated statements of operations of Nissens Automotive, which were derived from the general ledger data for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The pro forma financial information reflects transaction accounting adjustments that management believes are necessary to present fairly Standard Motor Products' pro forma results of operations and financial position following the closing of the Acquisition as of and for the periods indicated. The transaction accounting adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report Standard Motor Products' financial condition and results of operations as if the Acquisition was completed on January 1, 2023 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations and September 30, 2024 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet.

The initial allocation of the preliminary estimated consideration in this pro forma financial information is based upon the estimated fair value of the consideration as of the Acquisition closing date on November 1, 2024.

Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated purchase price over the estimated fair value of Nissens Automotive’s identifiable assets and liabilities, including the fair value of the estimated identifiable indefinite-lived and finite-lived intangible assets. Goodwill will not be amortized but will be subject to periodic impairment testing. The goodwill balance shown in the pro forma financial information is preliminary and subject to change as a result of the same factors affecting both the estimated consideration and the estimated fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. The goodwill balance represents the combined company’s expectations of the strategic opportunities available to it as a result of the Acquisition, as well as business specific knowledge and the replacement cost of an assembled workforce that may be derived from the Acquisition.

Upon completion of the final valuation, the estimated fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities will be updated and allocation of the excess purchase price, if any, will be recorded to goodwill. The calculation of goodwill could be materially impacted by measurement period adjustments. Under ASC 805, costs related to the transaction are expensed in the period they are incurred. Total transaction-related costs incurred by Standard Motor Products in connection with the Acquisition are estimated to be $9.5 million. The total amount is reflected as an expense in the unaudited combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023.

For purposes of preparing the pro forma financial information, the historical financial information of Nissens Automotive and related pro forma adjustments were translated from Danish kroner ("DKK") to U.S. dollars ("USD") using the following historical exchange rates:

Closing exchange rate as of September 30, 2024			0.14972
Average exchange rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024			0.14574
Average exchange rate for the year ended December 31, 2023			0.14519

These exchange rates may differ from future exchange rates which would have an impact on the pro forma financial information and would also impact purchase accounting.

Note 3 - Significant Accounting Policies

Standard Motor Products' financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP while Nissens Automotive's financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the pro forma financial information are those set out in Standard Motor Products' audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Certain adjustments were made to conform the IFRS presentation to U.S. GAAP presentation in alignment with Standard Motor Products' presentation of U.S. GAAP as specified in Note 4. These adjustments and reclassifications have no effect on previously reported total assets, total liabilities and stockholders’ equity, or net income or

loss of Standard Motor Products or Nissens Automotive. Accounting policy differences and additional reclassification adjustments may be identified as Standard Motor Products completes its acquisition accounting in accordance with ASC 805.

At the time of filing the Current Report on Form 8-K/A to which this pro forma financial information is included as an Exhibit, except U.S. GAAP and reclassification adjustments specified in Note 4 related to certain balances presented in the historical financial statements of Nissens Automotive, Standard Motor Products is not aware of any material differences between the accounting policies of the two entities that would continue to exist subsequent to the application of acquisition accounting.

The estimated income tax impacts of the pre-tax adjustments that are reflected in the unaudited combined pro forma financial information are calculated using an estimated blended statutory rate, which is based on preliminary assumptions related to the jurisdictions in which the income (expense) adjustments will be recorded. The estimated blended statutory rate and the effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different depending on the post-transaction activities and geographical composition of profit or loss before taxes.

Note 4 – Reclassifications and U.S. GAAP Adjustments

The unaudited combined pro forma financial information has been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications in the presentation in Nissens Automotive's financial statements to conform to Standard Motor Products' financial statement presentation. In addition, management reviewed the historical Nissens Automotive accounting policies to conform to those of Standard Motor Products. At the current time, the Company is not aware of any differences in accounting policies that would have a material impact on the pro forma financial information.

The Company will conduct a further review of Nissens Automotive’s accounting policies during its post-acquisition integration to determine if there are any additional differences that require adjustment of Nissens Automotive’s revenues, expenses, assets, or liabilities to conform accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, the Company may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the pro forma financial information.

Note 5 – Preliminary purchase consideration and purchase price allocation

The accounting for the Acquisition, including the preliminary aggregate purchase consideration, is based on provisional amounts, and the associated purchase accounting is not final. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities is based upon the preliminary estimate of fair values. For the preliminary estimate of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Nissens Automotive, Standard Motor Products used management's forecasted cash flows, publicly available benchmarking information as well as a variety of other assumptions, including market participant assumptions. Standard Motor

---

Products is expected to use widely accepted income-based, market-based, and cost-based valuation approaches upon finalization of purchase accounting for the Acquisition. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that Standard Motor Products believes are reasonable under the circumstances.

The following table summarizes the fair value of consideration transferred and the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the Acquisition:

(in 000's USD)						Preliminary estimated amount
Total estimated purchase consideration						$	396,732
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents						18,377
Accounts receivable, less allowances for discounts and expected credit losses						57,410
Inventories						89,429
Prepaid expenses and other current assets						636
Property, plant and equipment, net						29,048
Operating lease right-of-use assets						9,186
Other intangibles, net						227,100
Deferred income taxes						1,966
Other assets						385
Total assets acquired						433,538
Accounts payable						35,686
Sundry payables and accrued expenses						22,664
Accrued customer returns						1,032
Accrued rebates						22,958
Payroll and commissions						3,417
Long-term debt						16,479
Noncurrent operating lease liabilities						6,172
Other accrued liabilities						1,409
Deferred tax liabilities						56,265
Total liabilities assumed						166,083
Net assets acquired						267,456
Goodwill						$	129,277

(i) The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet has been adjusted to record Nissens Automotive’s inventories at a preliminary fair value of approximately $89.4 million, an increase of $9.4 million from the carrying value. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been adjusted to recognize additional cost of sales related to the increased basis based on Nissens Automotive's average historical inventory turnover.

(ii) Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma combined financial information consists of the following:

(in 000's USD)			Preliminary Fair Value			Estimated Useful Life
Tradenames - Nissens			$	73,300		Indefinite
Tradenames - AVA			2,300			Indefinite
Tradenames - Highway			1,100			15.0
Customer relationships			150,400			16.0
Intangible assets acquired			$	227,100

A 10% change in the valuation of intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the amortization expense of approximately $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Pro forma amortization is preliminary and based on the use of straight-line amortization. The amount of amortization following the Acquisition may differ significantly between periods based upon the final value assigned and amortization methodology used for each identifiable intangible asset.

(iii) The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet has been adjusted to record Nissens Automotive’s property, plant and equipment (consisting of land, buildings and improvements, equipment, furniture and fixtures, and leasehold improvements) at a preliminary fair value of approximately $29.0 million, an increase of $9.9 million from the carrying value. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations have been adjusted to recognize additional depreciation expense related to the increased basis in selling, general and administrative expenses. The additional depreciation expense is computed with the assumption that the related assets will be depreciated over a useful life of 25 years on a straight-line basis.
