NOVI, Mich., Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE: CPS) today reported preliminary results for the fourth quarter and full year 2018.
Highlights
-- Full year net income totaled $107.8 million or $5.89 per fully diluted share -- Full year adjusted net income totaled $160.7 million or $8.79 per fully diluted share -- Full year adjusted EBITDA totaled $376.5 million, or 10.4 percent of sales -- Net new business awards totaled $64 million in the quarter and $441 million for the full year -- Sales awards for innovation products totaled $70 million in the quarter and $287 million for the full year
"Market conditions in Asia and Europe remained challenging during the fourth quarter and commodity costs continued to increase globally," stated Jeffrey Edwards, chairman and CEO, Cooper Standard. "While we anticipate similar headwinds in 2019, we are focused on executing our strategy to create value through innovation, improving operating efficiency and increasing returns on invested capital. Strong net new business awards in 2018 and a record number of new program launches planned for 2019, both in our automotive and non-automotive businesses, support our positive long-term outlook for profitable growth."
Consolidated Results*
Quarter Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, 2018 2017 2018 2017 (dollar amounts in millions except per share amounts) Sales $ 872.0 $ 937.9 $ 3,629.3 $ 3,618.1 Net income (loss) $ (23.1) $ 28.5 $ 107.8 $ 135.3 Adjusted net income $ 27.5 $ 63.6 $ 160.7 $ 208.0 Earnings per diluted share $ (1.30) $ 1.53 $ 5.89 $ 7.21 Adjusted earnings per diluted share $ 1.53 $ 3.42 $ 8.79 $ 11.08 Adjusted EBITDA $ 76.4 $ 131.2 $ 376.5 $ 452.0
The year-over-year change in fourth quarter sales was primarily attributable to unfavorable volume and mix, foreign exchange and customer price adjustments, partially offset by the net positive impact of acquisitions and divestitures. For the full year, favorable foreign exchange and the net positive impact of acquisitions and divestitures more than offset customer price adjustments and unfavorable volume and mix.
Net income for the fourth quarter and full year 2018 included the impact of non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill and other assets in the Company's Asia Pacific and Europe reporting units. It also included the tax benefit related to the reversal of the Company's valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets in France and on capital losses in the U.S. Adjusted net income, which excludes these and other special or non-operating items, was down in the fourth quarter and full year 2018 due largely to unfavorable volume and mix, customer price adjustments, higher material costs and general inflation, partially offset by operating efficiencies, lower sales, general, administrative and engineering (SGA&E) expense, and the lower statutory tax rate in the U.S.
The year-over-year change in fourth quarter and full year adjusted EBITDA is largely attributable to unfavorable volume and mix, customer price adjustments, higher raw material costs and general inflation, partially offset by operating efficiencies and lower SGA&E expense.
Adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per diluted share 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.
Notable Developments
During the fourth quarter, Cooper Standard launched 56 new customer programs and was awarded $64 million in annual net new business. For the full year 2018, the Company's annual net new business awards totaled $441 million. New contract awards related to the Company's recent product innovations, including both new and replacement business, totaled $70 million for the quarter. Cooper Standard's expanding portfolio of commercialized innovation products includes: MagAlloy(TM); ArmorHose(TM); ArmorHose(TM) TPV; Gen III Posi-Lock(TM); TP Microdense; and Fortrex(TM).
During the fourth quarter, the Company announced an agreement to sell its anti-vibration systems business and the divestiture is expected to close early in the second quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.
Quarterly Segment Results
North America
Cooper Standard's North America segment reported sales of $476.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $479.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The change was primarily attributable to unfavorable volume and mix and customer price adjustments, offset by incremental sales related to acquisitions.
North America segment profit was $51.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $65.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to unfavorable volume and mix, higher material costs, customer price adjustments and inflation, partially offset by improvements in operating efficiency, lower compensation-related expense and other cost reduction initiatives.
Europe
Cooper Standard's Europe segment reported sales of $230.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $267.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The change was attributable to unfavorable volume and mix, customer price adjustments and foreign exchange.
The Europe segment reported a segment loss of $57.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to a segment profit of $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The year-over-year change was largely attributable to $41.5 million of non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill, fixed assets and other intangible assets, unfavorable volume and mix, customer price adjustments, higher material costs and general inflation, partially offset by savings related to restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives.
Asia Pacific
Cooper Standard's Asia Pacific segment reported sales of $143.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $163.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The change was largely attributable to unfavorable volume and mix, customer price adjustments and foreign exchange, partially offset by incremental sales related to acquisitions.
The Asia Pacific segment reported a segment loss of $68.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to a segment loss of $1.1 million in the fourth quarter 2017. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to $38.9 million of non-cash impairment charges related to goodwill and fixed assets in India and Korea, unfavorable volume and mix, customer price adjustments and inflation, partially offset by improvements in operating efficiency, savings related to restructuring and lower compensation-related expense.
South America
Cooper Standard's South America segment reported sales of $22.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $27.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The change was primarily attributable to foreign exchange and unfavorable volume and mix.
The South America segment reported a segment loss of $3.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to a loss of $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The year-over-year change was primarily attributable to higher material costs.
Liquidity and Cash Flow
At December 31, 2018, Cooper Standard had cash and cash equivalents totaling $265.0 million. Net cash provided by operating activities in the fourth quarter 2018 was $71.4 million compared to $208.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. Free cash flow (defined as net cash provided by operating activities minus capital expenditures) was $13.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2018 compared to $158.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. For the full year 2018, net cash provided by operating activities was $149.4 million compared to $313.1 million in 2017. Free cash flow for the full year 2018 was $(68.7) million compared to $126.3 million in 2017.
In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Company had $144.3 million available under its senior amended asset-based revolving credit facility ("ABL facility") for total liquidity of $409.3 million at December 31, 2018.
Total debt at December 31, 2018 was $831.1 million compared to $758.2 million at December 31, 2017. Net debt (defined as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents) at December 31, 2018 was $566.1 million compared to $242.3 million at December 31, 2017. Cooper Standard's net leverage ratio (defined as net debt divided by adjusted EBITDA) at December 31, 2018 was 1.5 times trailing 12 months adjusted EBITDA.
Outlook
The Company has issued 2019 full year guidance as follows:
Current Guidance Sales $3.40 - $3.60 billion --- Adjusted EBITDA(1) $300 - $340 million --- Capital Expenditures $180 - $190 million --- Cash Restructuring $15 - $25 million --- Effective Tax Rate 16% - 18% ---
(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. We have not provided a reconciliation of projected adjusted EBITDA to projected net income 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 to U.S. GAAP net income without unreasonable effort.

Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings 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. Management considers EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share 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 adjusted EBITDA presented as percentage of 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 earnings per share is defined as adjusted net income divided by the weighted average number of basic and diluted shares. 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 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 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 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 EBITDA margin, adjusted net income and free cash flow follow.
