Question
Jack Weisenberger from ROTH Capital Partners, LLC asked about the timing and segment-specific impact of tariffs and related price increases. He also questioned how the Nissens business performed against expectations, the overall health of the European aftermarket, and the progress on product synergies between SMP and Nissens.
Answer
CFO Nathan Iles stated that higher tariff costs were incurred in Q2 but are expected to be fully offset by pricing in the second half of the year, declining to give segment-specific details. Chair, CEO & President Eric Sills added that the Nissens acquisition is exceeding expectations and outperforming the European market by gaining share and launching new categories.
