Guidance is representative of management's estimates and expectations as of the date it is published. Previous guidance was presented in our second quarter 2025 earnings press release published on July 31, 2025. Current guidance as presented in this press release considers October 2025 S&P Global production forecasts for relevant light vehicle platforms and models, customers' planned production schedules, including estimated impact of temporary production disruptions in the fourth quarter, and other internal assumptions.¹

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

/PRNewswire/ -- Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CPS) today reported results for the third quarter 2025.NORTHVILLE, Mich.Oct. 30, 2025

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

"Our operating performance continues to be outstanding, delivering results for the first nine months of the year that exceeded our original plans," said Jeffrey Edwards, chairman and CEO, Cooper Standard. "We expect our execution will enable us to successfully navigate further temporary customer production disruptions in the fourth quarter and continue to drive higher margins and improved shareholder value going forward."

Consolidated Results

Sales increased by 1.5% in the third quarter due primarily to favorable foreign exchange and favorable volume and mix, partially offset by certain customer price adjustments.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $7.6 million, including restructuring charges of $3.5 million and other special items. Net loss for the third quarter of 2024 was $11.1 million, including restructuring charges of $1.5 million and other special items. Excluding these special items and their related tax impact, adjusted net loss was $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to adjusted net loss of $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, or an improvement of $7.6 million year-over-year. The improvement was primarily driven by increased manufacturing and purchasing efficiency and favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by unfavorable volume, mix and price, higher selling, general administration and engineering (SGA&E) expense related to stock price appreciation adjustments for certain equity-based incentive compensation accruals, and ongoing general inflation.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2025 was $53.3 million compared to $46.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. The year-over-year improvement was primarily driven by increased manufacturing and purchasing efficiency and favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by unfavorable volume, mix and price, higher SGA&E expense related to stock price appreciation adjustments for certain equity-based incentive compensation accruals, and ongoing general inflation.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter of 2025 was $38.6 million, an increase of $10.8 million compared to the third quarter of 2024. Free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures) in the third quarter of 2025 was $27.4 million, an increase of $10.5 million compared to the third quarter of 2024. The increase was driven primarily by improved operating earnings and positive net change in working capital.

As of September 30, 2025, Cooper Standard had cash and cash equivalents totaling $147.6 million. Total liquidity, including availability under the Company's amended senior asset-based revolving credit facility, was $313.5 million at the end of the third quarter of 2025. Based on current expectations for light vehicle production and customer demand for our products, the Company believes it has sufficient financial resources to support ongoing operations and the execution of planned strategic initiatives for the foreseeable future. These financial resources include current cash on hand, continuing access to flexible credit facilities, and expected future positive cash generation.

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

New Business Awards

The Company continues to leverage its world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities, its innovation programs and its reputation for quality and service to win new business awards with its OEM customers and capitalize on positive global trends associated with hybrid and battery electric vehicles. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company received net new business awards totaling $96.4 million in anticipated future annualized sales. Through the first nine months of 2025, the Company has received $228.5 million in net new business awards, primarily related to battery-electric and hybrid vehicle platforms.

Segment Results of Operations

Additional detail on our quarterly segment variance analyses is available in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Outlook

The Company believes it is well positioned to continue driving sustainable value through profitable growth and margin enhancement. While supply chain disruptions, changing trade and tariff policies, and affordability concerns have impacted near-term production forecasts, the Company believes that the underlying demand for new light vehicle production in its key operating regions remains strong, supported by the age of the existing fleet, increasing population, increasing numbers of newly licensed drivers, and declining vehicle inventories. The Company remains confident that the continuing successful execution of its plans and strategies, including expanding relationships with new customers and the continued launch of new, innovative programs with enhanced contribution margins, will drive increasing profit margins and returns on invested capital over time as markets stabilize.

Following strong actual results in the first nine months of the year, the Company has adjusted its full year guidance to reflect approximately $25 million of expected lost profit related to temporary customer production cuts stemming from supply chain and other market disruptions in the fourth quarter. The revised guidance is as follows:

Financial statements and related notes follow:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

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