--News Direct--

Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CPS) today reported results for the third quarter 2022.

Third Quarter 2022 Summary

  • Sales totaled $657.2 million, an increase of 24.8% compared to third quarter 2021
  • Net loss narrowed to $32.7 million or $(1.90) per diluted share compared to a net loss of $123.2 million or $(7.20) per diluted share in the third quarter 2021
  • Adjusted EBITDA totaled $20.5 million; adjusted EBITDA margin improved by approximately 950 basis points vs. third quarter 2021
  • Quarter-end cash balance of $231 million; continuing strong total liquidity of $387 million
  • Net new business awards on electric vehicles of $27 million in the quarter and $72 million year to date; Total net new business awards of $66 million in the quarter and $124 million year to date

“We were able to leverage our improving cost structure, enhanced commercial agreements and higher year-over-year industry production levels to drive positive results in the quarter,” said Jeffrey Edwards, chairman and CEO, Cooper Standard. “OEM production schedules remain erratic, however, with actual volumes still falling well short of industry forecasts and our customers' own releases. Despite this continuing challenge, we expect to deliver further operational improvements and margin expansion through the remainder of the year.”

The year-over-year increase in third quarter sales was primarily attributable to favorable volume and mix as well as realized recoveries of material cost inflation, which are reflected in price adjustments. These were partially offset by foreign exchange.

Net loss for the third quarter 2022 was $(32.7) million, including restructuring charges of $1.7 million and other special items. Net loss for the third quarter 2021 was $(123.2) million, including restructuring charges of $1.6 million and other special items. Adjusted net loss, which excludes restructuring, other special items and their related tax impact, was $(29.5) million in the third quarter 2022 compared to $(106.4) million in the third quarter of 2021. The year-over-year improvement was primarily due to improved volume and mix, lower income tax expense and improved operating efficiencies. These were partially offset by continuing material cost inflation net of realized customer recoveries, higher labor costs and other inflationary headwinds.

Adjusted net loss, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted loss per diluted share are non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures, calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), are provided in the attached supplemental schedules.

Automotive New Business Awards

The Company continues to leverage its world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities, its innovation programs and its reputation for quality and service to win new business awards with its customers. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company received net new business awards representing approximately $66 million in incremental anticipated future annualized sales, including $27 million of awards on electric vehicle platforms. Year to date net new business awards totaled $124 million, including $72 million on electric vehicle platforms. Since the beginning of 2020, the Company has received net new business awards on electric vehicle platforms totaling over $275 million in expected incremental annualized sales.

* Net of customer price adjustments

** Net of deconsolidation

  • Volume and mix, net of customer price adjustments including recoveries, was driven by vehicle production volume increases due to a lessening impact on customer production schedules for semiconductor-related supply issues in the current year period.
  • The impact of foreign currency exchange was primarily related to the Euro and Brazilian Real, partially offset by the Mexican Peso.
  • The Cost (Increases) / Decreases category above includes:

    • Commodity cost and inflationary economics;
    • Manufacturing efficiencies and purchasing savings through lean initiatives;
    • Increased compensation-related expenses; and

    • Decreased costs related to ongoing salaried headcount initiatives and restructuring savings.

Cash and Liquidity

As of September 30, 2022, Cooper Standard had cash and cash equivalents totaling $231.2 million. Total liquidity, including availability under the Company's amended senior asset-based revolving credit facility, was $386.9 million at the end of the third quarter.

Based on current expectations for light vehicle production and customer demand for our products, the Company expects its current solid cash balance and access to flexible credit facilities will provide sufficient resources to support ongoing operations and the execution of planned strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future. The Company’s ability to meet its debt service requirements for the next twelve months is contingent upon its ability to refinance its term loan facility. The Company continues its discussions with certain investors with respect to potential refinancing alternatives. While discussions are ongoing, the Company has not reached an agreement with respect to such a transaction for refinancing its capital structure and there can be no assurances that such an agreement will be reached in the future.

Outlook

Industry projections for global light vehicle production growth, while still positive, have moderated over the past three months. Based on these industry projections, macroeconomic conditions, current customer production schedules and the Company's results to date, the Company is adjusting its 2022 full year guidance as follows:

1 Guidance is representative of management's estimates and expectations as of the date it is published. Current guidance as presented in this press release considers September 2022 S&P Global (IHS Markit) production forecasts for relevant light vehicle platforms and models, customers' planned production schedules and other internal assumptions.

2 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income because full-year net income will include special items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end. Due to this uncertainty, the Company cannot reconcile projected adjusted EBITDA to U.S. GAAP net income without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share and free cash flow are measures not recognized under U.S. GAAP and which exclude certain non-cash and special items that may obscure trends and operating performance not indicative of the Company’s core financial activities. Net new business is a measure not recognized under U.S. GAAP which is a representation of potential incremental future revenue but which may not fully reflect all external impacts to future revenue. Management considers EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow and net new business to be key indicators of the Company’s operating performance and believes that these and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Company’s performance. In addition, similar measures are utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants and ratios contained in the Company’s financing arrangements and management uses these measures for developing internal budgets and forecasting purposes. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to reflect income tax expense (benefit), interest expense net of interest income, depreciation and amortization, and adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA further adjusted to reflect certain items that management does not consider to be reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) adjusted to reflect certain items that management does not consider to be reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is defined as adjusted net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares, respectively, outstanding during the period. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures and is useful to both management and investors in evaluating the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt. Net new business reflects anticipated sales from formally awarded programs, less lost business, discontinued programs and replacement programs and is based on IHS Markit forecast production volumes. The calculation of “net new business” does not reflect customer price reductions on existing programs and may be impacted by various assumptions embedded in the respective calculation, including actual vehicle production levels on new programs, foreign exchange rates and the timing of major program launches.

When analyzing the Company’s operating performance, investors should use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow and net new business as supplements to, and not as alternatives for, net income (loss), operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and not as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s liquidity. EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow and net new business have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the Company’s results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. Other companies may report EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss), adjusted earnings (loss) per share, free cash flow and net new business differently and therefore the Company’s results may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, in evaluating adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss), it should be noted that in the future the Company may incur expenses similar to or in excess of the adjustments in the below presentation. This presentation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income (loss) should not be construed as an inference that the Company’s future results will be unaffected by special items. Reconciliations of EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income (loss) and free cash flow follow.
