1. Overview
Basis of Presentation
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Cooper Standard”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (“CSA U.S.”), is a leading manufacturer of sealing and fluid handling systems (consisting of fuel and brake delivery systems and fluid transfer systems). The Company’s products are primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks that are manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
As disclosed in its 2023 Annual Report, effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its management reporting structure with the launch of global product line-focused business segments. This resulted in the realignment of its reportable segments, which are determined based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. As a result, the Company established two reportable segments: Sealing Systems and Fluid Handling Systems. All other business activities are reported in Corporate, eliminations and other. The segment realignment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. All segment information included in this Form 10-Q is reflective of this new structure and prior period information has been revised to conform to the Company’s current period presentation. Refer to Note 16. “Segment Reporting” for additional information on the Company’s reportable segments and to Note 6. “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for the impact thereof to the evaluation of recorded goodwill balances.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted the following Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, which did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements:
StandardDescriptionEffective Date
ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
Requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM beginning with annual disclosures in 2024. The amendments in this update also require all annual segment disclosures to be included in interim periods beginning in 2025.January 1, 2024

2. Divestitures
2023 Divestiture
In the second quarter of 2023, the Company signed a share purchase and assignment agreement to sell its European technical rubber products business. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company closed the transaction and received cash proceeds in the amount of $15,009. Upon finalization of the sale, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $443 in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. The loss included the write off of goodwill with a carrying amount of $1,300.
2023 Joint Venture Divestiture
In the third quarter of 2023, the Company completed the sale of its entire controlling equity interest of a joint venture in the Asia Pacific region. As a result, during the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain of $109 in its condensed consolidated statements of operations.
3. Revenue
Revenue is recognized for manufactured parts at a point in time, generally when products are shipped or delivered. The Company usually enters into agreements with customers to produce products at the beginning of a vehicle’s life. Blanket purchase orders received from customers and related documents generally establish the annual terms, including pricing, related to a vehicle model. Customers typically pay for parts based on customary business practices with payment terms generally between 30 and 90 days.
Consistent with the Company’s change in reportable segments as described in Note 1. “Overview”, the Company has revised its revenue disaggregation presentation to align with the new reportable segment structure. Revenue by customer group for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:

Contract Estimates
The amount of revenue recognized is usually based on the purchase order price and adjusted for variable consideration, including pricing concessions. The Company accrues for pricing concessions by reducing revenue as products are shipped or delivered. The accruals are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and management’s best judgment. The Company also generally has ongoing adjustments to customer pricing arrangements based on the content and cost of its products. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with customers. Customer returns, which are infrequent, are usually related to quality or shipment issues and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company generally does not recognize significant return obligations due to their infrequent nature.
Contract Balances
The Company’s contract assets consist of unbilled amounts associated with variable pricing arrangements in the Asia Pacific region. Once pricing is finalized, contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable. As a result, the timing of revenue recognition and billings, as well as changes in foreign exchange rates, will impact contract assets on an ongoing basis. Contract assets were not materially impacted by any other factors during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Amounts related to commitments of future payments to customers in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were current liabilities of $9,509 and $10,164, respectively, and long-term liabilities of $1,662 and $4,293, respectively.
The Company provides assurance-type warranties to its customers. Such warranties provide customers with assurance that the related product will function as intended and complies with any agreed-upon specifications, and are recognized in cost of products sold.
4. Restructuring
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its business and objectives to ensure that it is properly configured and sized based on changing market conditions. Accordingly, the Company has implemented several restructuring initiatives, including the closure or consolidation of facilities throughout the world and the reorganization of its operating structure.
In May 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan that will eliminate up to 400 salaried, contract and open positions based on the Company’s recently announced product line organizational structure and current and anticipated market demands. The restructuring effort aims to further improve and maximize the Company’s operational efficiency by streamlining business practices and deployed resources, and improving the organization’s overall cost structure.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized total restructuring expenses of $1,516 and $20,430, respectively, $17,200 of which related to the restructuring plan approved in May 2024. The Company anticipates total expense related to the restructuring plan approved in May 2024 of approximately $17,200 to $19,000 to be primarily recognized in 2024. The cash expenditures include severance and other related costs directly attributable to the restructuring activities which will be paid in 2024 and 2025. The Company anticipates these restructuring activities to provide approximately $40,000 to $45,000 in annualized savings upon completion.
The Company’s restructuring charges consist of severance, retention and outplacement services, and severance-related postemployment benefits (collectively, “employee separation costs”), along with other related exit costs and asset impairments related to restructuring activities (collectively, “other exit costs”). Employee separation costs are recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy.
As further described in Note 16. “Segment Reporting”, effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its management reporting structure with the launch of global product line-focused business segments. As a result, the Company established two reportable segments: Sealing Systems and Fluid Handling Systems. Accordingly, prior period restructuring charges have been revised to conform to the Company’s current period presentation. Restructuring charges by segment were as follows:

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill
As further described in Note 16. “Segment Reporting”, effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its management reporting structure with the launch of global product line-focused business segments. Based on this change, the Company established two reportable segments: Sealing Systems and Fluid Handling Systems. The two reportable segments, along with the Industrial Specialty Group business, are the applicable reporting units for purposes of goodwill assignment and evaluation.
As a result of the segment realignment, the Company allocated goodwill to the reporting units existing under the new organizational structure on a relative fair value basis. The Company estimated the fair values of the reporting units based upon the present value of their anticipated future cash flows. The Company’s determination of fair value involved judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions. In conjunction with the goodwill allocation, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill immediately before and after the segment realignment. The quantitative analyses did not result in any impairment charges as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying value. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:
Sealing SystemsFluid Handling SystemsIndustrial Specialty GroupTotal
Balance as of December 31, 2023$47,775 $80,303 $12,736 $140,814 
Foreign exchange translation(87)— — (87)
Balance as of September 30, 2024$47,688 $80,303 $12,736 $140,727 
Goodwill is tested for impairment by reporting unit annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. There were no indicators of potential impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

ABL Facility
On November 2, 2016, the Company entered into a third amendment and restatement of the ABL Facility. In March 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“the First Amendment”). As a result of the First Amendment, the ABL Facility maturity was extended to March 2025 and the aggregate revolving loan commitment was reduced to $180,000. In May 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which modified certain covenants under the ABL Facility. In December 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which became effective on January 27, 2023. In May 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which, among other things, (1) extended the termination date for revolving commitments totaling $150,000 from March 24, 2025 ( “Existing Termination Date”) to May 6, 2029; (2) provided for leverage-based interest rate margin and commitment fee step-downs; and (3) replaced the Canadian BA Rate with Term CORRA as the applicable benchmark rate for all purposes under the ABL Facility for revolving loans denominated in Canadian Dollars. In September 2024, the Company entered into an agreement which transferred and assigned revolving commitments totaling $35,000 from certain existing ABL Facility lenders to new ABL Facility lenders and which also extended the termination date for all outstanding revolving commitments not previously extended from the Existing Termination Date to May 6, 2029.
The aggregate revolving loan availability includes a $100,000 letter of credit sub-facility and a $25,000 swing line sub-facility. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted $100,000 incremental loan facility, for a potential total ABL Facility of $280,000 (if requested by the Borrowers and the lenders agree to fund such increase). No consent of any lender (other than those participating in the increase) is required to effect any such increase. The Company’s borrowing base as of September 30, 2024 was $180,000 and the monthly fixed charge coverage ratio was at a level that provided the Company full access to the borrowing base. Net of $6,888 of outstanding letters of credit, the Company effectively had $173,112 available for borrowing under its ABL Facility as of September 30, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no borrowings under the ABL Facility.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $1,890 and $862, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility recorded in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Debt Covenants
The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants of the First Lien Notes, Third Lien Notes, 2026 Senior Notes, and ABL Facility as of September 30, 2024.

Other Financing
Finance leases and other. Other borrowings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 reflect finance leases and other borrowings under local bank lines classified in debt payable within one year in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Receivable factoring. As a part of its working capital management, the Company sells certain receivables through a single third-party financial institution (the “Factor”) in a pan-European program. The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow needs of the Company. These are permitted transactions under the Company’s credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and the indentures governing the First Lien Notes, Third Lien Notes, and 2026 Secured Notes. The European factoring facility allows the Company to factor up to €70,000 of its Euro-denominated accounts receivable, accelerating access to cash and reducing credit risk. The factoring facility expires on December 31, 2026.
Costs incurred on the sale of receivables are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The sale of receivables under this contract is considered an off-balance sheet arrangement to the Company and is accounted for as a true sale and is excluded from accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts outstanding under receivable transfer agreements entered into by various locations as of the period end were as follows:
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Off-balance sheet arrangements$62,205 $47,903

8. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2:Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The Company also considers the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair value and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. In certain instances where market data is not available, the Company uses management judgment to develop assumptions that are used to determine fair value. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023Input
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets$— $1,285 Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities$(4,687)$(998)Level 2
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: (1)
Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets$— $— Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities$— $— Level 2
(1)    The derivatives not designated as hedging instruments had a zero fair value as of September 30, 2024 due to the one-month forward exchange contract being executed on such date. At inception, forward contracts usually have zero fair values as a result of there being no immediate value attributed to the contract. The Company did not have any outstanding non-designated derivatives as of December 31, 2023.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Items Not Carried at Fair Value
Fair values of the Company’s First Lien Notes, Third Lien Notes, and 2026 Senior Notes were as follows:
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Aggregate fair value$1,010,079 $984,448 
Aggregate carrying value (1)
$1,051,175 $1,038,808 
(1)    Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount.
Fair values were based on quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into derivative instruments primarily to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows and designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in order to qualify for hedge accounting. The Company also enters into derivative instruments to manage exposure related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.
The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities.
For a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, to the extent that the hedges are effective, and reclassified into earnings when the underlying hedged transaction is realized. The realized gains and losses are recorded on the same line as the hedged transaction in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. Cash flows from derivatives used to manage foreign exchange risks are classified as operating activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on its derivative financial instruments. The Company mitigates this credit risk exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions with high credit standards that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.
Cash Flow Hedges
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts. The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flows arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include various European currencies, the Canadian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the notional amount of these contracts was $244,045 and $207,131, respectively, and consisted of hedges of cash flow transactions extending out to December 2025.
Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) were as follows:

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts. Effective in the third quarter of 2024, the Company began using one-month forward contracts to manage exposure related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The contracts are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges under ASC 815, and therefore are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded to earnings. The principal currency hedged by the Company is the Mexican Peso. As of September 30, 2024, the notional amount outstanding was $14,749. The Company did not have any outstanding non-designated derivatives as of December 31, 2023.
Pretax amounts related to the Company’s non-designated derivatives recognized in other expense, net were as follows:

Pension Plan Termination
On October 11, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to merge certain of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans and terminate the resulting merged plan (“U.S. Pension Plan”) effective December 31, 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company completed the transfer of all lump sum payments to eligible plan participants who elected such lump sums or otherwise met the criteria for lump sum payments as part of the termination process.
On April 3, 2024, the Company irrevocably transferred approximately $137,000 of remaining pension benefit obligations and associated plan assets related to the U.S. Pension Plan to a highly rated insurance company, thereby reducing the Company’s pension obligations and assets by the same amount. This transaction further de-risks the Company’s retirement-related plans by eliminating the potential for the Company to make future cash contributions to fund the remaining pension benefit obligations being transferred to the insurer. Beginning in June 2024, the insurance company began paying plan benefits to eligible plan participants through a group annuity contract.
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company received $2,216 of excess plan assets from the insurance company administering the group annuity contract due to a reduction in remaining pension benefit obligations transferred to the insurer. The Company received $775 of cash and elected to use the remaining $1,441 to fund future obligations associated with the Company’s U.S. salaried defined contribution savings plan. The Company recognized a pension settlement credit of $2,216 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the refund of plan assets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a net one-time, non-cash pension settlement charge of $44,571 ($45,974 net of tax) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, primarily related to the accelerated recognition of accumulated actuarial losses included within AOCI in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The termination of the U.S. Pension Plan is expected to be completed during the year ended December 31, 2024.

11. Income Taxes
The Company determines its effective tax rate each quarter based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company records the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate.

Income tax expense, (loss) income before income taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

Effective tax rate(36)%28 %(15)%(7)%
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 varied from the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the geographic mix of pre-tax income and losses, and the inability to record a tax expense for pre-tax income and a benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to valuation allowances, adjustments to uncertain tax positions, and other permanent items.
The income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 varied from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inability to record a tax expense for pre-tax income and a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to valuation allowances, tax credits, the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, adjustments to uncertain tax positions, and other permanent items.
The Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by changes in valuation allowances in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and, except for certain jurisdictions, no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine, based on the weight of the evidence, if a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Company’s decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities.
The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions. During the examination of the Company’s 2015-2018 U.S. federal income tax filings, the IRS asserted that income earned by a Netherlands subsidiary from its Mexican branch operations should be categorized as foreign based company sales income under Section 954(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and should be recognized currently as taxable income on the Company’s 2015-2018 U.S. federal income tax filings. As a result of this assertion, the IRS issued a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”). The Company believes the proposed adjustment is without merit and is in the process of contesting the matter. Currently, the protest with the IRS for the 2015-2018 tax years is with the IRS’s administrative appeals office, and the Company is having continuing discussion about the issue. The Company believes, after consultation with tax and legal counsel, that it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be successful in defending its position. As such, the Company has not recorded any impact of the IRS’s proposed adjustment in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. In the event the Company is not successful in defending its position, the potential income tax expense impact, including interest, related to tax years 2015 through September 30, 2024 is less than $10,000. The Company intends to vigorously contest the conclusions reached in the NOPA through the IRS’s administrative appeals process, and, if necessary, through litigation.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Action of 2022, which, among other things, implements a 15% minimum tax on financial statement income of certain large corporations, a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases and several tax incentives to promote clean energy. The provisions were effective in the first quarter of 2023 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Numerous countries have agreed to a statement in support of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) model rules that propose a global minimum tax rate of 15%, and European Union member states have agreed to implement the global minimum tax. Certain countries, including European Union member states, have enacted or are

expected to enact legislation to be effective as early as 2024, with widespread implementation of a global minimum tax expected by 2025. The Company has recorded the impact of the global minimum tax as currently enacted in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As further legislation becomes effective in countries in which the Company does business, the Company’s provision for income taxes could be impacted. The Company will continue to monitor pending legislation and implementation by individual countries and adjust its calculations accordingly.
12. Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.
Basic net (loss) income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed using the treasury stock method by dividing diluted net (loss) income available to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, using the average share price during the period.
Information used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was as follows:

Securities excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share were approximately 264,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 239,000 and 66,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, because the inclusion of such securities in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. There were no anti-dilutive securities during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

14. Common Stock
Share Repurchase Program
In June 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program (the “2018 Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $150,000 of its outstanding common stock. Under the 2018 Program, repurchases may be made on the open market, through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, as determined by management and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations. The Company expects to fund any future repurchases from cash on hand and future cash flows from operations. The Company is not obligated to acquire a particular amount of securities, and the 2018 Program may be discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. The 2018 Program became effective in November 2018. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $98,720 of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program. The Company did not make any repurchases under the 2018 Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.
15. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is periodically involved in claims, litigation and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for claims, litigation and various legal matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters.
In addition, the Company conducts and monitors environmental investigations and remedial actions at certain locations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $10,062 and $11,354, respectively, reserved in accrued liabilities and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets on an undiscounted basis. While the Company’s costs to defend and settle known claims arising under environmental laws have not been material in the past and are not currently estimated to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, such costs may be material to the Company’s financial statements in the future.
16. Segment Reporting
The Company had historically managed its automotive business in four reportable segments: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. All other business activities were reported in Corporate, eliminations and other. As disclosed in its 2023 Annual Report, effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its management reporting structure with the launch of global product line-focused business segments. This resulted in the realignment of the Company’s reportable segments, which are based on how the CODM manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance. Based on this change, the Company established two reportable automotive segments: Sealing Systems and Fluid Handling Systems. All other business activities are reported in Corporate, eliminations and other. Additional information related to the composition of each reportable segment is included below:
•Sealing Systems: The Sealing Systems segment is comprised of products that are designed and manufactured to protect vehicle interiors from weather, dust and noise intrusion for an improved driving experience. Its products also provide aesthetic and functional class-A exterior surface treatment. As disclosed in its 2023 Annual Report, the Company believes it is the largest global producer of sealing systems.
•Fluid Handling Systems: The Fluid Handling Systems segment is comprised of products that help convey, connect, control and communicate throughout fluid systems for superior performance across diverse powertrains. The Company leverages its innovation expertise and vertically integrated manufacturing process with strong global standardization to support customers throughout the world.
The new structure is expected to optimize asset and resource allocation, enhance operating efficiency and aid in accelerating growth. The segment realignment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. All segment information is reflective of this new structure, and prior period information has been revised to conform to the Company’s current period presentation.
The Company uses segment adjusted EBITDA as the measure of earnings to assess the performance of each segment and determine the resources to be allocated to the segments. The results of each segment include certain allocations for general,
24

administrative and other shared costs. Segment adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Item 2.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding and assessing the trends and significant changes in our results of operations and financial condition. Our historical results may not indicate, and should not be relied upon as an indication of, our future performance. Our forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events, are based on assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below for a discussion of risks associated with reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause differences between actual results and those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“2023 Annual Report”), including Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” The following should be read in conjunction with our 2023 Annual Report and the other information included herein. Our discussion of trends and conditions supplements and updates such discussion included in our 2023 Annual Report. References in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) to “we,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Executive Overview
Our Business
We design, manufacture and sell sealing and fluid handling systems (consisting of fuel and brake delivery and fluid transfer systems) for use primarily in passenger vehicles and light trucks manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). We are primarily a “Tier 1” supplier, with approximately 84% of our sales in 2023 made directly to major OEMs.
Recent Trends and Conditions
General Economic Conditions and Outlook
The global automotive industry is susceptible to uncertain economic conditions that could adversely impact new vehicle demand and production. Business conditions may vary significantly from period to period or region to region. In 2022, global automotive production was negatively impacted by broad supply chain challenges, labor market disruptions and other lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2023, light vehicle production showed resilience and strong growth, supported by sustained consumer demand and OEM efforts to replenish depleted inventory levels. This resilience and growth was despite continued uncertainty in the global economy created by continued inflation, rising interest rates and increased geopolitical tension in key regions of the world. In 2024, light vehicle production has slowed modestly as inventory levels continue to ramp slowly higher, interest rates remain relatively high, and the geopolitical tensions driving global economic uncertainty persist.
In North America, U.S. consumer confidence has increased from 2023 levels but remains well below pre-pandemic historical averages. Slowing inflation and the Federal Reserve Board’s recent policy rate actions have been key drivers of improved consumer sentiment. However, uncertainty regarding the upcoming elections, the timing and magnitude of further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, and increasing consumer debt continue to weigh on economic activity. Economists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are expecting the economies of the United States, Canada and Mexico to grow by 2.8 percent, 1.3 percent and 1.5 percent, respectively, in 2024.
In Europe, lower inflation and more stable energy costs are supporting stronger household consumption. Momentum in the services sector slowly increased in the first half of the year and export activity has been improving. Uncertainty related to ongoing geopolitical tension and the war in Ukraine continues, however, and remains a constraining factor to overall economic growth. In the current uncertain environment, economists at the IMF are expecting the economy in the Eurozone region to grow by approximately 0.8 percent in 2024.
In the Asia Pacific region, China’s post-COVID-19 economy has been burdened by a protracted property crisis, weak consumer and business confidence, and mounting local government debts. However, China’s economy has been buoyed by a new round of government stimulus actions, a rebound in private consumption and strong exports. Net of these factors, economists at the IMF are expecting the growth rate of the Chinese economy to slow modestly to 4.8 percent in 2024.
In South America, the Brazilian economy has been strengthened by an increase in the minimum wage and a continuing strong labor market contributing to consumer demand. In addition, economic disruptions from seasonal flooding have been less than expected and inflation has stabilized slightly above target levels set by the Brazilian central bank. As a result, economists at the IMF are now estimating the Brazilian economy will grow 3.0 percent in 2024.

Production Levels
Our business is directly affected by the automotive vehicle production rates in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. These production rates can be impacted periodically by changing macro and micro-economic conditions, geopolitical actions, regional consumer sentiment, labor disruptions and changing regulatory requirements, among other factors.
Light vehicle production by region for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

South America0.9 0.8 9.4%2.2 2.2 (1.6)%
(1)Production data based on S&P Global, October 2024.
Current industry forecasts suggest global light vehicle production in 2024 will be slightly lower than full year 2023, followed by modest growth in 2025 and 2026. The anticipated growth in 2025 and 2026 is expected to be driven primarily by production increases in China, South Asia and South America. Actual production volumes have varied and may further vary from forecasted levels due to a number of factors including, but not limited to, consumer demand, the regulatory environment, incentives offered and industry competitiveness. The electric vehicle segment has been particularly challenged with regard to production volumes meeting forecasted levels.
Raw Materials
Our business is susceptible to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials. Abrupt changes in the market prices or availability of certain key raw materials may result in operational and profitability challenges for the Company and the industry as a whole. Since 2020, market prices for key raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and oil-derived commodities, experienced a period of extreme volatility, which led to significant cost increases for our business. In response, we worked with our customers to implement or expand index-based commercial agreements that have enabled us to partially recover incremental material costs incurred and significantly reduce our exposure and risk related to commodity price fluctuations going forward. Global commodity markets and pricing have stabilized to a large degree in 2024, and material cost impacts on our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were relatively small.
General Inflation and Recovery Strategy
In response to inflationary cost pressures that we continue to experience, we have implemented aggressive lean and cost optimization initiatives that are helping to offset these cost pressures. In addition, we continue to actively pursue pricing adjustments from our customers to offset higher costs on our current business, where the higher costs are market driven and beyond our immediate control.

* Net of customer price adjustments, including recoveries.
** Net of divestitures and restructuring savings.
Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of materials, labor, manufacturing overhead, freight, depreciation and other direct operating expenses. Materials comprise the largest component of our cost of products sold and represented approximately 51% of total cost of products sold for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. The change in cost of products sold was impacted by manufacturing and purchasing savings through lean initiatives, the impact of savings from our restructuring initiative in the current year, lower material input costs, and the divestiture of our European technical rubber products business and a joint venture in the Asia Pacific region in the prior year, partially offset by unfavorable volume and mix, net of recoveries, unfavorable foreign exchange, and higher inflation of labor and overhead.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $30.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The change was driven by unfavorable volume and mix, net of customer price adjustments including recoveries, higher inflation of labor and overhead, unfavorable foreign exchange, and the impact of the divestiture of our European technical rubber products business and a joint venture in the Asia Pacific region in the prior year, partially offset by manufacturing and purchasing savings through lean initiatives, the impact of savings from our restructuring initiative in the current year, and lower material input costs.
Selling, Administration and Engineering Expenses. Selling, administration and engineering expenses include administrative expenses as well as product engineering and design and development costs. Selling, administration and engineering expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were $49.7 million, or 7.3% of sales, compared to $49.8 million, or 6.8% of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase as a percentage of sales was primarily due to higher compensation-related costs and foreign exchange.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $4.7 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in payment-in-kind interest on our Third Lien Notes. We elected to pay the third and fourth interest payments, due June 15, 2024 and December 15, 2024, respectively, in cash at the lower 5.625% Cash Pay interest rate as opposed to accruing for interest at the higher 10.625% PIK rate.
Pension Settlement Credit. A pension settlement credit of $2.2 million was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2024 due to a refund of plan assets received from the insurance company administering the group annuity contract related to the termination of the aforementioned U.S. pension plan. See Note 9. “Pension and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.
Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $2.0 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange, partially offset by a decrease in periodic benefit cost other than service cost.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.9 million on losses before income taxes of $8.0 million compared to an income tax expense of $4.3 million on earnings before income taxes of $15.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 differed from the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the geographic mix of pre-tax losses, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to valuation allowances, adjustments to uncertain tax positions, and other permanent items.

The Company’s material portion of cost of products sold was approximately 51% and 52% of total cost of products sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change in cost of products sold was impacted by favorable manufacturing and purchasing savings through lean initiatives, the divestiture of our European technical rubber products business and a joint venture in the Asia Pacific region in the prior year, the impact of savings from our restructuring initiative in the current year, lower volume and mix, net of recovery, and lower material input costs, partially offset by higher inflation of labor and overhead, and unfavorable foreign exchange .
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased 2.3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was driven by unfavorable foreign exchange, higher inflation of labor and overhead, unfavorable volume and mix, net of customer price adjustments including recoveries and the divestiture of our European technical rubber products business and a joint venture in the Asia Pacific region in the prior year, partially offset by manufacturing and purchasing savings through lean initiatives, the impact of savings from our restructuring initiative in the current year and lower material input costs.
Selling, Administration and Engineering Expenses. Selling, administration and engineering expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were $157.5 million, or 7.6% of sales, compared to $156.5 million, or 7.3% of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation-related costs and foreign exchange.
Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $7.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a cost optimization restructuring plan that was implemented in the second quarter of 2024. See Note 4. “Restructuring” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.
Impairment Charges. Impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily related to nonrecurring impairments of certain assets in Asia Pacific in the prior year.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $11.0 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in payment-in-kind interest on our Third Lien Notes. We elected to pay the third and fourth interest payments, due June 15, 2024 and December 15, 2024, respectively, in cash at the lower 5.625% Cash Pay interest rate as opposed to accruing for interest at the higher 10.625% PIK rate.
30

Loss on Refinancing and Extinguishment of Debt. Loss on refinancing and extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $81.9 million which resulted from certain fees and the partial write off of new and unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount related to refinancing transactions that occurred in 2023.
Pension Settlement Charge. A one-time, non-cash pension settlement charge of $44.6 million was incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to the termination of the aforementioned U.S. pension plan. See Note 9. “Pension and Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.
Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $4.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the unfavorable impact of foreign currency exchange, partially offset by a decrease in periodic benefit cost other than service cost.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $15.1 million on losses before income taxes of $103.3 million compared to income tax expense of $9.5 million on losses before income taxes of $138.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 differed primarily from the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 due to the geographic mix of pre-tax losses, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to valuation allowances, adjustment to uncertain tax positions, and other permanent items.
Segment Results of Operations
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its management reporting structure with the launch of global product line-focused business segments. This resulted in the realignment of its reportable segments, which are determined based on how the CODM manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance. As a result, the Company established two reportable segments: Sealing Systems and Fluid Handling Systems. All other business activities are reported in Corporate, eliminations and other. The segment realignment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. All reportable segment information included in this Form 10-Q is reflective of this new structure and prior period information has been revised to conform to the Company’s current period segment presentation.
The Company uses segment adjusted EBITDA as the measure of earnings to assess the performance of each segment and determine the resources to be allocated to the segments. We have defined adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring expense, and special items.
The following tables present sales and segment adjusted EBITDA for each of the reportable segments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks
The sources to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements are a combination of cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our senior asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) and receivables factoring. We utilize intercompany loans and equity contributions to fund our worldwide operations. There may be country-specific regulations which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. See Note 7. “Debt and Other Financing” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.
We continue to actively preserve cash and enhance liquidity, including proactively managing our capital expenditures. We continuously monitor and forecast our liquidity situation in light of automotive industry, customer and economic factors, and take the necessary actions to preserve our liquidity and evaluate other financial alternatives that may be available to us should the need arise. Our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments and other obligations, and to comply with the financial covenants, including borrowing base limitations under our ABL Facility, depend on our future operating performance and cash flows and many factors outside of our control, including industry production levels, the costs of raw materials, the state of the overall automotive industry and financial and economic conditions, including work stoppages and the continued impact of public health events, and other factors. Based on those actions and current projections of light vehicle production and customer demand for our products, we believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand, availability under our ABL Facility and receivables factoring will enable us to meet our ongoing working capital requirements, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements for the foreseeable future, despite the challenges facing the industry.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operations was $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided by operations of $37.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The net change was primarily due to changes in net working capital balances.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $38.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $47.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The net
33

change was primarily due to lower capital expenditures. We expect to continue initiatives to reduce overall capital spending and anticipate that we will spend approximately $45.0 to $50.0 million on capital expenditures in 2024.
Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $39.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The net change was primarily due to $120.0 million of borrowings drawn on our revolving credit facility in 2023, partially offset by the impact of the Refinancing Transactions in 2023.
Share Repurchase Program
In June 2018, our Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program (the “2018 Program”) authorizing us to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Under the 2018 Program, repurchases may be made on the open market, through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, as determined by us and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations. We expect to fund any future repurchases from cash on hand and future cash flows from operations. The specific timing and amount of any future repurchase will vary based on market and business conditions, changes in tax laws and other factors. We are not obligated to acquire a particular amount of securities, and the 2018 Program may be discontinued at any time at our discretion. The 2018 Program became effective in November 2018. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $98.7 million of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program. We did not make any repurchases under the 2018 Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.
Other Matters
We may, from time to time, seek to purchase our outstanding debt securities or loans, including the First Lien Notes, Third Lien Notes and 2026 Senior Notes. Such transactions could be privately negotiated or open market transactions, pursuant to tender offers or otherwise. Any such purchases will be made in our sole discretion in light of market conditions, applicable limitations contained in the agreements governing our indebtedness and other relevant factors. The amounts involved in any such purchase transactions, individually or in the aggregate, may be material. Any such purchases may equate to a substantial amount of a particular class or series of debt, which may reduce the trading liquidity of such class or series.
In the third quarter of 2023, we designated Liveline Technologies, Inc. (“Liveline”) an unrestricted subsidiary under the terms of certain of its debt agreements, but Liveline remains a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. Liveline incurred a net loss of $1.3 million and $1.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, Liveline had less than $0.1 million of gross assets, and will rely on Cooper Standard for necessary funding until it is able to sustain itself through sales of its products and services.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key indicators of our operating performance. Our management also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
•because similar measures are utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants and ratios contained in our financing arrangements;
•in developing our internal budgets and forecasts;
•as a significant factor in evaluating our management for compensation purposes;
•in evaluating potential acquisitions;
•in comparing our current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry; and
•in presentations to the members of our board of directors to enable our board of directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in their assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company.
In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net of interest income, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA, as adjusted for items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, restructuring costs, certain impairment charges, non-cash fair value adjustments and acquisition-related costs.
34

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measurements recognized under U.S. GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to, and not as alternatives for, net income (loss), operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. These limitations include the following:
•they do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditure or contractual commitments;
•they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
•they do not reflect interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments under our ABL Facility, First Lien Notes, Third Lien Notes, and 2026 Senior Notes;
•they do not reflect certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and
•other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently and, as the number of differences in the way companies calculate these measures increases, the degree of their usefulness as a comparative measure correspondingly decreases.
In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, it should be noted that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the below presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by special items.
The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from net (loss) income, which is the most comparable financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor created thereby. Our use of words “estimate,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “project,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “outlook,” “guidance,” “forecast,” or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could,” “would,” or “may,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, we cannot assure you that these expectations, beliefs and projections will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or achievements to be materially different from the future results or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Among other items, such factors may include: volatility or decline of the Company’s stock price, or absence of stock price appreciation; impacts and disruptions related to the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East; our ability to achieve commercial recoveries and to offset the adverse impact of higher commodity and other costs through pricing and other negotiations with our customers; work stoppages or other labor disruptions with our employees or our customers’ employees; prolonged or material contractions in automotive sales and production volumes; our inability to realize sales represented by awarded business; escalating pricing pressures; loss of large customers or significant platforms; our ability to successfully compete in the automotive parts industry; availability and increasing volatility in costs of manufactured components and raw materials; disruption in our supply base; competitive threats and commercial risks associated with our diversification strategy; possible variability of our working capital requirements; risks associated with our international operations, including changes in laws, regulations, and policies governing the terms of foreign trade such as increased trade restrictions and tariffs; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; our ability to control the operations of our joint ventures for our sole benefit; our substantial amount of indebtedness and variable rates of interest; our ability to obtain adequate financing sources in the future; operating and financial restrictions imposed on us under our debt instruments; the underfunding of our pension plans; significant changes in discount rates and the actual return on pension assets; effectiveness of continuous improvement programs and other cost savings plans; significant costs related to manufacturing facility closings or consolidation; our ability to execute new program launches; our ability to meet customers’ needs for new and improved products; the possibility that our acquisitions and divestitures may not be successful; product liability, warranty and recall claims brought against us; laws and regulations, including environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; legal and regulatory proceedings, claims or investigations against us; the potential impact of any future public health events on our financial condition and results of operations; the ability of our intellectual property to withstand legal challenges; cyber-attacks, data privacy concerns, other disruptions in, or the inability to implement upgrades to, our information technology systems; the possible volatility of our annual effective tax rate; the possibility of a failure to maintain effective controls and procedures; the possibility of future impairment charges to our goodwill and long-lived assets; our ability to identify, attract, develop and retain a skilled, engaged and diverse workforce; our ability to procure insurance at reasonable rates; and our dependence on our subsidiaries for cash to satisfy our obligations.
You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q also contains estimates and other information that is based on industry publications, surveys, and forecasts. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information.

Item 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative information about the Company’s market risk from those previously disclosed in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report.

Item 4.        Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Overview Overview
Basis of Presentation
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Cooper Standard”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (“CSA U.S.”), is a leading manufacturer of sealing and fluid handling systems (consisting of fuel and brake delivery systems and fluid transfer systems). The Company’s products are primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks that are manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
As disclosed in its 2023 Annual Report, effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its management reporting structure with the launch of global product line-focused business segments. This resulted in the realignment of its reportable segments, which are determined based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. As a result, the Company established two reportable segments: Sealing Systems and Fluid Handling Systems. All other business activities are reported in Corporate, eliminations and other. The segment realignment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. All segment information included in this Form 10-Q is reflective of this new structure and prior period information has been revised to conform to the Company’s current period presentation. Refer to Note 16. “Segment Reporting” for additional information on the Company’s reportable segments and to Note 6. “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for the impact thereof to the evaluation of recorded goodwill balances.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] Revenue
Revenue is recognized for manufactured parts at a point in time, generally when products are shipped or delivered. The Company usually enters into agreements with customers to produce products at the beginning of a vehicle’s life. Blanket purchase orders received from customers and related documents generally establish the annual terms, including pricing, related to a vehicle model. Customers typically pay for parts based on customary business practices with payment terms generally between 30 and 90 days.
Consistent with the Company’s change in reportable segments as described in Note 1. “Overview”, the Company has revised its revenue disaggregation presentation to align with the new reportable segment structure. Revenue by customer group for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was as follows:

Contract Estimates
The amount of revenue recognized is usually based on the purchase order price and adjusted for variable consideration, including pricing concessions. The Company accrues for pricing concessions by reducing revenue as products are shipped or delivered. The accruals are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and management’s best judgment. The Company also generally has ongoing adjustments to customer pricing arrangements based on the content and cost of its products. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with customers. Customer returns, which are infrequent, are usually related to quality or shipment issues and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company generally does not recognize significant return obligations due to their infrequent nature.
Contract Balances
The Company’s contract assets consist of unbilled amounts associated with variable pricing arrangements in the Asia Pacific region. Once pricing is finalized, contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable. As a result, the timing of revenue recognition and billings, as well as changes in foreign exchange rates, will impact contract assets on an ongoing basis. Contract assets were not materially impacted by any other factors during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company’s contract liabilities consist of advance payments received and due from customers. Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following:

Contract assets$698 $437 $261 
Contract liabilities(15)(15)— 
Net contract assets$683 $422 $261 
Other
The Company, at times, enters into agreements that provide for lump sum payments to customers. These payment agreements are recorded as a reduction of revenue during the period in which the commitment is made, unless the payment is contractually recoverable. Amounts related to commitments of future payments to customers in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were current liabilities of $9,509 and $10,164, respectively, and long-term liabilities of $1,662 and $4,293, respectively.
The Company provides assurance-type warranties to its customers. Such warranties provide customers with assurance that the related product will function as intended and complies with any agreed-upon specifications, and are recognized in cost of products sold.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring Restructuring
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its business and objectives to ensure that it is properly configured and sized based on changing market conditions. Accordingly, the Company has implemented several restructuring initiatives, including the closure or consolidation of facilities throughout the world and the reorganization of its operating structure.
In May 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a restructuring plan that will eliminate up to 400 salaried, contract and open positions based on the Company’s recently announced product line organizational structure and current and anticipated market demands. The restructuring effort aims to further improve and maximize the Company’s operational efficiency by streamlining business practices and deployed resources, and improving the organization’s overall cost structure.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized total restructuring expenses of $1,516 and $20,430, respectively, $17,200 of which related to the restructuring plan approved in May 2024. The Company anticipates total expense related to the restructuring plan approved in May 2024 of approximately $17,200 to $19,000 to be primarily recognized in 2024. The cash expenditures include severance and other related costs directly attributable to the restructuring activities which will be paid in 2024 and 2025. The Company anticipates these restructuring activities to provide approximately $40,000 to $45,000 in annualized savings upon completion.
The Company’s restructuring charges consist of severance, retention and outplacement services, and severance-related postemployment benefits (collectively, “employee separation costs”), along with other related exit costs and asset impairments related to restructuring activities (collectively, “other exit costs”). Employee separation costs are recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy.
As further described in Note 16. “Segment Reporting”, effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its management reporting structure with the launch of global product line-focused business segments. As a result, the Company established two reportable segments: Sealing Systems and Fluid Handling Systems. Accordingly, prior period restructuring charges have been revised to conform to the Company’s current period presentation. Restructuring charges by segment were as follows:

Goodwill
As further described in Note 16. “Segment Reporting”, effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its management reporting structure with the launch of global product line-focused business segments. Based on this change, the Company established two reportable segments: Sealing Systems and Fluid Handling Systems. The two reportable segments, along with the Industrial Specialty Group business, are the applicable reporting units for purposes of goodwill assignment and evaluation.
As a result of the segment realignment, the Company allocated goodwill to the reporting units existing under the new organizational structure on a relative fair value basis. The Company estimated the fair values of the reporting units based upon the present value of their anticipated future cash flows. The Company’s determination of fair value involved judgment and the use of estimates and assumptions. In conjunction with the goodwill allocation, the Company performed a quantitative impairment assessment of goodwill immediately before and after the segment realignment. The quantitative analyses did not result in any impairment charges as the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its respective carrying value. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reporting unit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows:

Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2:Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The Company also considers the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair value and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. In certain instances where market data is not available, the Company uses management judgment to develop assumptions that are used to determine fair value. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023Input
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets$— $1,285 Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities$(4,687)$(998)Level 2
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: (1)
Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets$— $— Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities$— $— Level 2
(1)    The derivatives not designated as hedging instruments had a zero fair value as of September 30, 2024 due to the one-month forward exchange contract being executed on such date. At inception, forward contracts usually have zero fair values as a result of there being no immediate value attributed to the contract. The Company did not have any outstanding non-designated derivatives as of December 31, 2023.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Items Not Carried at Fair Value
Fair values of the Company’s First Lien Notes, Third Lien Notes, and 2026 Senior Notes were as follows:
September 30, 2024December 31, 2023
Aggregate fair value$1,010,079 $984,448 
Aggregate carrying value (1)
$1,051,175 $1,038,808 
(1)    Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount.
Fair values were based on quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into derivative instruments primarily to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows and designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in order to qualify for hedge accounting. The Company also enters into derivative instruments to manage exposure related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.
The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities.
For a cash flow hedge, the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, to the extent that the hedges are effective, and reclassified into earnings when the underlying hedged transaction is realized. The realized gains and losses are recorded on the same line as the hedged transaction in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. Cash flows from derivatives used to manage foreign exchange risks are classified as operating activities within the consolidated statements of cash flows.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on its derivative financial instruments. The Company mitigates this credit risk exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions with high credit standards that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.
Cash Flow Hedges
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts. The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flows arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include various European currencies, the Canadian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the notional amount of these contracts was $244,045 and $207,131, respectively, and consisted of hedges of cash flow transactions extending out to December 2025.
Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) were as follows:

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts. Effective in the third quarter of 2024, the Company began using one-month forward contracts to manage exposure related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The contracts are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges under ASC 815, and therefore are marked-to-market with changes in fair value recorded to earnings. The principal currency hedged by the Company is the Mexican Peso. As of September 30, 2024, the notional amount outstanding was $14,749. The Company did not have any outstanding non-designated derivatives as of December 31, 2023.

Pension Plan Termination
On October 11, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to merge certain of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans and terminate the resulting merged plan (“U.S. Pension Plan”) effective December 31, 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company completed the transfer of all lump sum payments to eligible plan participants who elected such lump sums or otherwise met the criteria for lump sum payments as part of the termination process.
On April 3, 2024, the Company irrevocably transferred approximately $137,000 of remaining pension benefit obligations and associated plan assets related to the U.S. Pension Plan to a highly rated insurance company, thereby reducing the Company’s pension obligations and assets by the same amount. This transaction further de-risks the Company’s retirement-related plans by eliminating the potential for the Company to make future cash contributions to fund the remaining pension benefit obligations being transferred to the insurer. Beginning in June 2024, the insurance company began paying plan benefits to eligible plan participants through a group annuity contract.
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company received $2,216 of excess plan assets from the insurance company administering the group annuity contract due to a reduction in remaining pension benefit obligations transferred to the insurer. The Company received $775 of cash and elected to use the remaining $1,441 to fund future obligations associated with the Company’s U.S. salaried defined contribution savings plan. The Company recognized a pension settlement credit of $2,216 in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the refund of plan assets.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized a net one-time, non-cash pension settlement charge of $44,571 ($45,974 net of tax) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, primarily related to the accelerated recognition of accumulated actuarial losses included within AOCI in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The termination of the U.S. Pension Plan is expected to be completed during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Income Taxes Income Taxes
The Company determines its effective tax rate each quarter based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company records the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate.
Income tax expense, (loss) income before income taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

(Loss) income before income taxes(8,032)15,721(103,312)(138,688)
Effective tax rate(36)%28 %(15)%(7)%
The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 varied from the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the geographic mix of pre-tax income and losses, and the inability to record a tax expense for pre-tax income and a benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to valuation allowances, adjustments to uncertain tax positions, and other permanent items.
The income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 varied from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inability to record a tax expense for pre-tax income and a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to valuation allowances, tax credits, the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, adjustments to uncertain tax positions, and other permanent items.
The Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by changes in valuation allowances in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and, except for certain jurisdictions, no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine, based on the weight of the evidence, if a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Company’s decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities.
The Company, or one of its subsidiaries, files income tax returns in the United States and other foreign jurisdictions. During the examination of the Company’s 2015-2018 U.S. federal income tax filings, the IRS asserted that income earned by a Netherlands subsidiary from its Mexican branch operations should be categorized as foreign based company sales income under Section 954(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and should be recognized currently as taxable income on the Company’s 2015-2018 U.S. federal income tax filings. As a result of this assertion, the IRS issued a Notice of Proposed Adjustment (“NOPA”). The Company believes the proposed adjustment is without merit and is in the process of contesting the matter. Currently, the protest with the IRS for the 2015-2018 tax years is with the IRS’s administrative appeals office, and the Company is having continuing discussion about the issue. The Company believes, after consultation with tax and legal counsel, that it is more likely than not that it will ultimately be successful in defending its position. As such, the Company has not recorded any impact of the IRS’s proposed adjustment in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. In the event the Company is not successful in defending its position, the potential income tax expense impact, including interest, related to tax years 2015 through September 30, 2024 is less than $10,000. The Company intends to vigorously contest the conclusions reached in the NOPA through the IRS’s administrative appeals process, and, if necessary, through litigation.
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Action of 2022, which, among other things, implements a 15% minimum tax on financial statement income of certain large corporations, a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases and several tax incentives to promote clean energy. The provisions were effective in the first quarter of 2023 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Numerous countries have agreed to a statement in support of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) model rules that propose a global minimum tax rate of 15%, and European Union member states have agreed to implement the global minimum tax. Certain countries, including European Union member states, have enacted or are
expected to enact legislation to be effective as early as 2024, with widespread implementation of a global minimum tax expected by 2025. The Company has recorded the impact of the global minimum tax as currently enacted in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. As further legislation becomes effective in countries in which the Company does business, the Company’s provision for income taxes could be impacted. The Company will continue to monitor pending legislation and implementation by individual countries and adjust its calculations accordingly.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. Net (Loss) Income Per Share Attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.
Basic net (loss) income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed using the treasury stock method by dividing diluted net (loss) income available to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, using the average share price during the period.
Information used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was as follows:

In June 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program (the “2018 Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $150,000 of its outstanding common stock. Under the 2018 Program, repurchases may be made on the open market, through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, as determined by management and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations. The Company expects to fund any future repurchases from cash on hand and future cash flows from operations. The Company is not obligated to acquire a particular amount of securities, and the 2018 Program may be discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. The 2018 Program became effective in November 2018. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $98,720 of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program. The Company did not make any repurchases under the 2018 Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023.

Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is periodically involved in claims, litigation and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for claims, litigation and various legal matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters.
In addition, the Company conducts and monitors environmental investigations and remedial actions at certain locations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $10,062 and $11,354, respectively, reserved in accrued liabilities and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets on an undiscounted basis. While the Company’s costs to defend and settle known claims arising under environmental laws have not been material in the past and are not currently estimated to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, such costs may be material to the Company’s financial statements in the future.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Disclosure Segment Reporting
The Company had historically managed its automotive business in four reportable segments: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. All other business activities were reported in Corporate, eliminations and other. As disclosed in its 2023 Annual Report, effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its management reporting structure with the launch of global product line-focused business segments. This resulted in the realignment of the Company’s reportable segments, which are based on how the CODM manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions, and evaluates operating performance. Based on this change, the Company established two reportable automotive segments: Sealing Systems and Fluid Handling Systems. All other business activities are reported in Corporate, eliminations and other. Additional information related to the composition of each reportable segment is included below:
•Sealing Systems: The Sealing Systems segment is comprised of products that are designed and manufactured to protect vehicle interiors from weather, dust and noise intrusion for an improved driving experience. Its products also provide aesthetic and functional class-A exterior surface treatment. As disclosed in its 2023 Annual Report, the Company believes it is the largest global producer of sealing systems.
•Fluid Handling Systems: The Fluid Handling Systems segment is comprised of products that help convey, connect, control and communicate throughout fluid systems for superior performance across diverse powertrains. The Company leverages its innovation expertise and vertically integrated manufacturing process with strong global standardization to support customers throughout the world.
The new structure is expected to optimize asset and resource allocation, enhance operating efficiency and aid in accelerating growth. The segment realignment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. All segment information is reflective of this new structure, and prior period information has been revised to conform to the Company’s current period presentation.
The Company uses segment adjusted EBITDA as the measure of earnings to assess the performance of each segment and determine the resources to be allocated to the segments. The results of each segment include certain allocations for general,
administrative and other shared costs. Segment adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Basis of presentation
Basis of Presentation
Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Cooper Standard”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (“CSA U.S.”), is a leading manufacturer of sealing and fluid handling systems (consisting of fuel and brake delivery systems and fluid transfer systems). The Company’s products are primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks that are manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”), as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.
As disclosed in its 2023 Annual Report, effective January 1, 2024, the Company changed its management reporting structure with the launch of global product line-focused business segments. This resulted in the realignment of its reportable segments, which are determined based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. As a result, the Company established two reportable segments: Sealing Systems and Fluid Handling Systems. All other business activities are reported in Corporate, eliminations and other. The segment realignment had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. All segment information included in this Form 10-Q is reflective of this new structure and prior period information has been revised to conform to the Company’s current period presentation. Refer to Note 16. “Segment Reporting” for additional information on the Company’s reportable segments and to Note 6. “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for the impact thereof to the evaluation of recorded goodwill balances.

On November 2, 2016, the Company entered into a third amendment and restatement of the ABL Facility. In March 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“the First Amendment”). As a result of the First Amendment, the ABL Facility maturity was extended to March 2025 and the aggregate revolving loan commitment was reduced to $180,000. In May 2020, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Second Amendment”), which modified certain covenants under the ABL Facility. In December 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), which became effective on January 27, 2023. In May 2024, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), which, among other things, (1) extended the termination date for revolving commitments totaling $150,000 from March 24, 2025 ( “Existing Termination Date”) to May 6, 2029; (2) provided for leverage-based interest rate margin and commitment fee step-downs; and (3) replaced the Canadian BA Rate with Term CORRA as the applicable benchmark rate for all purposes under the ABL Facility for revolving loans denominated in Canadian Dollars. In September 2024, the Company entered into an agreement which transferred and assigned revolving commitments totaling $35,000 from certain existing ABL Facility lenders to new ABL Facility lenders and which also extended the termination date for all outstanding revolving commitments not previously extended from the Existing Termination Date to May 6, 2029.
The aggregate revolving loan availability includes a $100,000 letter of credit sub-facility and a $25,000 swing line sub-facility. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted $100,000 incremental loan facility, for a potential total ABL Facility of $280,000 (if requested by the Borrowers and the lenders agree to fund such increase). No consent of any lender (other than those participating in the increase) is required to effect any such increase. The Company’s borrowing base as of September 30, 2024 was $180,000 and the monthly fixed charge coverage ratio was at a level that provided the Company full access to the borrowing base. Net of $6,888 of outstanding letters of credit, the Company effectively had $173,112 available for borrowing under its ABL Facility as of September 30, 2024.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no borrowings under the ABL Facility.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $1,890 and $862, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility recorded in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Debt Covenants
The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants of the First Lien Notes, Third Lien Notes, 2026 Senior Notes, and ABL Facility as of September 30, 2024.
Other Financing
Finance leases and other. Other borrowings as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 reflect finance leases and other borrowings under local bank lines classified in debt payable within one year in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Receivable factoring. As a part of its working capital management, the Company sells certain receivables through a single third-party financial institution (the “Factor”) in a pan-European program. The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow needs of the Company. These are permitted transactions under the Company’s credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and the indentures governing the First Lien Notes, Third Lien Notes, and 2026 Secured Notes. The European factoring facility allows the Company to factor up to €70,000 of its Euro-denominated accounts receivable, accelerating access to cash and reducing credit risk. The factoring facility expires on December 31, 2026.
Costs incurred on the sale of receivables are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The sale of receivables under this contract is considered an off-balance sheet arrangement to the Company and is accounted for as a true sale and is excluded from accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
