Cooper Standard Highlights Continued Strong New Business Awards in the Third Quarter of 2026

PR Newswire

NORTHVILLE, Mich., Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CPS) today reported results for the third quarter 2026 that include continued strong new business awards amid ongoing inflation and production volume headwinds.

Third Quarter 2026 Summary

  • Sales of $708.6 million, an increase of 1.9% vs. the third quarter of 2025
  • Net loss of $20.4 million, or $(1.13) per diluted share
  • Adjusted net loss of $2.1 million, or $(0.11) per diluted share
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $52.8 million, or 7.5% of sales
  • Net new business awards totaling $148.8 million during the quarter
  • Net cash provided by operating activities of $5.2 million

"We are continuing to leverage our strong customer relationships to book new business awards at a record pace, with overall average contribution margins consistent with our longer-term strategic plans and targets," said Jeffrey Edwards, chairman and CEO, Cooper Standard. "While headwinds from commodity prices and general inflation remained greater than we had expected in the third quarter, we are working with our customers to refine our commercial agreements and accelerate the timing of cost recoveries wherever possible. We expect these actions will further de-risk our business and enable greater long-term value creation going forward."

 *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.

Sales increased by 1.9% in the third quarter compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to favorable volume, mix and price adjustments. This was despite global light vehicle production volumes being down 2.3%.

Net loss for the third quarter of 2026 was $20.4 million, including restructuring charges of $19.2 million. Net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $7.6 million, including restructuring charges of $3.5 million. Excluding these special items and their related tax impact, adjusted net loss was $2.1 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to adjusted net loss of $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2025. The year-over-year improvement was driven primarily by lower compensation related expense, savings related to manufacturing and purchasing efficiencies, lower selling, administration and engineering (SGA&E) expense, and lower customs, duties and tariffs. These positive factors were partially offset by increased material costs, general inflationary pressures, and unfavorable volume and mix.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2026 was $52.8 million compared to $53.3 million in the third quarter of 2025 as lower compensation related expense, savings related to manufacturing and purchasing efficiencies, lower SGA&E expense and lower customs, duties and tariffs partially offset higher material costs, continuing general inflation, and unfavorable volume and mix.

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 2026, the Company received net new business awards totaling $148.8 million in anticipated incremental future annualized sales, including $28.2 million in new awards associated with battery electric or full-hybrid platforms. For the first nine months of the year, net new business awards totaled $395.1 million, including $96.6 million in new awards associated with battery electric or full-hybrid platforms.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Net cash provided by operating activities in the third quarter of 2026 was $5.2 million. Free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures) in the third quarter of 2026 was an outflow of $10.8 million.

As of September 30, 2026, Cooper Standard had cash and cash equivalents totaling $112.3 million. Total liquidity, including availability under the Company's amended senior asset-based revolving credit facility, was $305.4 million at the end of the third 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.

Outlook

The Company believes it is well positioned to continue driving sustainable value through profitable growth and margin enhancement as commodity costs and production volumes 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 nine months of the year, and considering near-term commodity costs and general inflation headwinds that remain higher than previously expected, however, the Company has adjusted its full year 2026 guidance as follows:

 1 Guidance is representative of management's estimates and expectations as of the date it is published. Prior guidance was presented in our second quarter 2026 earnings press release published on August 5, 2026. Current guidance as presented in this press release considers October 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.
