NORTHVILLE, Mich., Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CPS) today reported results for the second quarter 2026 that demonstrate continued progress towards sustained financial improvements, long-term profitable growth and positive cash flows.

Second Quarter 2026 Summary

  • Sales of $721.3 million, an increase of 2.2% vs. the second quarter of 2025
  • Net loss of $18.8 million, or $(1.04) per diluted share
  • Adjusted net loss of $2.3 million, or $(0.13) per diluted share

"Our teams are continuing to operate at world-class levels, delivering consistent value for our customers." said Jeffrey Edwards, chairman and CEO, Cooper Standard. "While higher oil prices drove inflationary pressures on our costs in the second quarter as we had anticipated, we expect to recover most of those incremental costs in the second half of the year. With our continued operating excellence and expected cost recoveries, we believe we remain on track to achieve our sales and profitability targets for the full year."

  principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"), are provided in the attached supplemental schedules.

Sales increased by 2.2% in the second quarter due primarily to favorable foreign exchange and favorable volume and mix.

Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $18.8 million, including restructuring charges of $17.1 million. Net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $1.4 million, including restructuring charges of $2.9 million. Excluding these special items and their related tax impact, adjusted net loss was $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to adjusted net income of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. The year-over-year change was driven primarily by higher material costs, general inflationary pressures, unfavorable volume and mix, and increased customs duties and tariffs. These cost increases were partially offset by continuing supply chain optimization and lean manufacturing savings.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter of 2026 was $30.1 million. Free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures) in the second quarter of 2026 was $16.3 million, an increase of $39.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2025.

As of June 30, 2026, Cooper Standard had cash and cash equivalents totaling $126.6 million. Total liquidity, including availability under the Company's amended senior asset-based revolving credit facility, was $294.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2026. 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.

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 second quarter of 2026, the Company received net new business awards totaling $118.4 million in anticipated incremental future annualized sales, including $36.6 million in new awards associated with battery electric or full-hybrid platforms. For the first six months of the year, net new business awards totaled $246.3 million, including $68.3 million in new awards associated with battery electric or full-hybrid platforms.

Outlook

The Company believes it is well positioned to continue driving sustainable value through profitable growth and margin enhancement as production volumes and commodity costs stabilize over time. Key value drivers include expanding relationships with new customers, the continued launch of new, innovative programs, enhanced index-based commercial agreements, and further actions to optimize our global manufacturing footprint.

Following actual reported results in the first half of the year, the Company believes it remains on track to achieve full-year results for sales and adjusted EBITDA in line with its original 2026 business plan. In terms of adjusted EBITDA, this is reflected at the midpoint of guidance, which remains unchanged, while the upper and lower bounds of the range have been tightened to reflect improved mid-year visibility. Other elements of full-year guidance and light vehicle production volume assumptions have been adjusted as follows:

 1 Guidance is representative of management's estimates and expectations as of the date it is published. Initial guidance was presented in our Fourth quarter 2025 earnings press release published on February 12, 2026. Current guidance as presented in this press
  release considers July 2026 Mobility Global production forecasts for relevant light vehicle platforms and models, customers' planned production schedules, and other internal assumptions.


 (2) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company has not provided a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income (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.

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. 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.
