Cooper Standard Reports Second Quarter Results

NOVI, Mich., July 31, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CPS) today reported results for the second quarter 2018.

Second Quarter 2018 Highlights

    --  Sales increased 2.1 percent to $928.3 million
    --  Net income of $41.9 million or $2.28 per diluted share
    --  Adjusted EBITDA of $107.9 million or 11.6 percent of sales
    --  Adjusted net income of $50.3 million or $2.74 per diluted share
    --  Net new business awards totaled $144 million for the quarter

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company generated net income of $41.9 million, or $2.28 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA of $107.9 million on sales of $928.3 million. These results compare to net income of $40.5 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA of $113.8 million on sales of $909.1 million in the second quarter of 2017. The Company's adjusted EBITDA as a percent of sales ("Adjusted EBITDA Margin") for the second quarter of 2018 was 11.6 percent compared to 12.5 percent in the second quarter of 2017.

"Our team continued to perform well despite challenging market conditions in the quarter," stated Jeffrey Edwards, chairman and CEO of Cooper Standard. "We are on pace for a record year of new business awards and our focus on driving cost efficiencies generated nearly $22 million in savings within our core business. In addition, we announced two strategic acquisitions that will expand our product offerings and further diversify the markets we serve. We expect improved performance in the second half of the year as the volume and mix of vehicle production returns to planned levels, especially in North America."

The Company's second quarter net income, excluding restructuring and other special items ("adjusted net income"), totaled $50.3 million, or $2.74 per diluted share, compared to $49.0 million, or $2.60 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2017. The change in adjusted net income was driven primarily by improvements in operating efficiency and lower selling, general administrative and engineering ("SGA&E") expense, partially offset by unfavorable volume and mix, customer price reductions and higher material costs. The improvement in adjusted net income per share was driven by the increase in adjusted net income and lower average diluted shares outstanding, which is primarily due to the Company's repurchase of 698,088 shares between June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018.

For the first six months of 2018, the Company reported net income of $98.7 million, or $5.36 per diluted share on sales of $1.90 billion. Adjusted EBITDA for the first six months of the year was $230.5 million. By comparison, the Company reported net income of $82.2 million, or $4.34 per diluted share, and adjusted EBITDA of $224.8 million on sales of $1.81 billion in the first six months of 2017. The Company's adjusted EBITDA margin for the first six months of 2018 was 12.2 percent compared to 12.4 percent in the first six months of 2017.

Adjusted net income for the first six months of 2018 was $114.1 million or $6.19 per diluted share. This compares to adjusted net income of $104.9 million or $5.54 per diluted share in the first six months of 2017.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures. Definitions of these measures and 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.

Notable Developments

During the second quarter, Cooper Standard launched 51 new customer programs and was awarded $144 million in annual net new business. New contract awards for the Company's recent product innovations, including both new and replacement business, totaled $49 million in the quarter. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company received its first production order for Fortrex(TM) sealing products in China. Cooper Standard's expanding portfolio of commercialized innovation products includes: MagAlloy(TM); ArmorHose(TM); ArmorHose(TM) TPV; Gen III Posi-Lock; TP Microdense; and Fortrex(TM).

Cooper Standard continues to pursue a strategy of profitable growth through organic activities as well as strategic acquisitions. During the second quarter, the Company agreed to acquire a majority ownership stake in the automotive business of LS Mtron of South Korea. This acquisition will expand Cooper Standard's product and technology portfolio to include brake jounce lines and charged air cooling components. In addition, the LS Mtron acquisition will improve the Company's positioning with key Korean automotive customers and expand its competitive position in China and South America. Final closing of this acquisition is subject to customary regulatory approval.

Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, Cooper Standard announced an agreement to acquire Lauren Manufacturing and Lauren Plastics from Lauren International. Upon closing, these acquisitions will significantly expand the Company's Industrial and Specialty Group (ISG), consistent with a strategy to further diversify Company sales and profits outside of the automotive industry.

Consolidated Results

Second quarter 2018 sales increased by $19.1 million or 2.1 percent compared to the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year increase was primarily attributable to $29.0 million of favorable foreign exchange, primarily in Europe and Asia, and improved volume and mix, primarily in Europe. These were partially offset by customer price reductions.

Second quarter adjusted EBITDA decreased by $5.9 million or 5.2 percent compared to the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to unfavorable volume and mix, customer price reductions, higher net material costs and general inflation, partially offset by net operational efficiencies of $21.8 million, lower SGA&E and compensation expense, and favorable foreign exchange.

The Company has adopted a new accounting standard related to Compensation - Retirement Benefits (ASU 2017-07) that reclassifies the presentation of the components of net periodic benefit costs in the statements of net income. As a result, prior period data have been recast.

Segment Results

North America

The Company's North America segment reported sales of $477.6 million in the second quarter, a decrease of 0.8 percent compared to $481.6 million in sales reported in the second quarter 2017. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to customer price reductions.

North America segment profit was $59.7 million, or 12.5 percent of sales, in the second quarter. This compared to segment profit of $64.5 million or 13.4 percent of sales in the second quarter 2017. The year-over-year change in segment profit was driven primarily by customer price reductions, general inflation, unfavorable volume and mix, and higher net material costs, partially offset by net operational efficiencies and lower SGA&E expense.

Europe

The Company's Europe segment reported sales of $279.1 million in the second quarter, an increase of 7.2 percent compared to sales of $260.4 million in the second quarter 2017. The year-over-year improvement was primarily attributable to favorable foreign exchange and favorable volume and mix, net of customer price reductions.

The Europe segment reported a loss of $5.4 million in the second quarter compared to segment loss of $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2017. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to net customer price adjustments and higher net material costs, partially offset by net operating efficiencies, restructuring savings and lower SGA&E expense.

Asia Pacific

The Company's Asia Pacific segment reported sales of $148.0 million in the second quarter, an increase of 5.1 percent compared to sales of $140.8 million in the second quarter 2017. The year-over-year increase was largely attributable to favorable foreign exchange and incremental sales from acquisitions, partially offset by unfavorable volume and mix, and customer price reductions.

The Asia Pacific segment reported segment profit of $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $4.5 million in the second quarter 2017. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to unfavorable volume and mix and customer price reductions, partially offset by net favorable material costs and net operational efficiencies.

South America

The Company's South America segment reported sales of $23.5 million in the second quarter, a decrease of 10.3 percent compared to sales of $26.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decline was primarily attributable to unfavorable foreign exchange.

The South America segment reported a loss of $3.4 million in the second quarter, compared to a segment loss of $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2017.

Liquidity and Cash Flow

At June 30, 2018, Cooper Standard had cash and cash equivalents totaling $440.2 million. Net cash provided by operating activities in the second quarter 2018 was $108.9 million and free cash flow for the quarter (defined as net cash used/provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures) was $70.0 million.

In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Company had $200.5 million available under its amended senior asset-based revolving credit facility ("ABL") for total liquidity of $640.7 million at June 30, 2018.

Total debt at June 30, 2018 was $757.2 million. Net debt (defined as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) was $317.0 million. Cooper Standard's net leverage ratio (defined as net debt divided by trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA) at June 30, 2018 was 0.7 times.

During the second quarter the Company used $43.5 million of cash to repurchase shares of its common stock through an accelerated share repurchase program as well as open market transactions. In June 2018, the Company's board of directors approved a new common stock repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase, in aggregate, up to $150.0 million of its outstanding common stock.

    (1) Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have not provided
     a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA margin range to projected net
     income margin range because full-year net income will include special items that
     have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty
     prior to year-end. Due to this uncertainty, we cannot reconcile projected
     adjusted EBITDA margin range to a comparable US GAAP net income margin range
     without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, net debt 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. Management considers EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, net debt and free cash flow 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 adjusted to reflect income tax expense, 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 EBITDA margin is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by sales. Adjusted net income is defined as net income adjusted to reflect certain items that management does not consider to be reflective of the Company's core operating performance. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares, respectively, outstanding during the period. Net debt is defined as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents. 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.

When analyzing the Company's operating performance, investors should use EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, net debt and free cash flow as supplements to, and not as alternatives for, net income, 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 EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, net debt and free cash flow 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, adjusted earnings per share, net debt and free cash flow 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, 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 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 net income and free cash flow follow.
