Earnings

NORTHVILLE, MI / ACCESSWIRE / May 6, 2021 / Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (NYSE:CPS) today reported results for the first quarter 2021.

First Quarter 2021 Summary

  • Sales increased by 2.1 percent to $669.0 million; organic sales growth was 6.3 percent
  • Gross profit margin increased by 360 basis points year-over-year
  • Selling, administrative and engineering expense (SGA&E) as a percent of sales decreased by 210 basis points year-over-year
  • Net loss narrowed by 69.4 percent to $33.9 million or $(2.00) per diluted share vs. net loss of $110.6 million or $(6.55) per diluted share in the prior year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased by 366 percent year-over-year to $38.5 million or 5.8 percent of sales

"Our team delivered results very close to our original operating plan for the quarter despite the significant microchip-related production cuts and supply chain disruptions that occurred in our markets," said Jeffrey Edwards, chairman and CEO, Cooper Standard. "While headwinds are continuing and have intensified in the second quarter, we anticipate automotive production will rebound in the second half of the year. Given our ongoing operating improvements, we are in a position to leverage the higher production levels to drive increasing value for our customers and our shareholders."

The year-over-year change in first quarter sales was primarily attributable to favorable volume and mix, including the non-recurrence of COVID-related customer shutdowns, and favorable foreign exchange partially offset by the divestiture of certain businesses in India and Europe in July 2020. Organic sales growth, which excludes the impacts of foreign exchange and divestitures, was 6.3 percent year-over-year.

Net loss for the first quarter 2021 included restructuring charges of $21.0 million and other special items. Net loss for the first quarter 2020 included asset impairment charges of $74.1 million, restructuring charges of $7.3 million and other special items. Adjusted net loss, which excludes these items and their related tax impact, was $14.5 million in the first quarter 2021 compared to $36.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. The year-over-year improvement was due to increased manufacturing efficiencies, lower selling, administrative and engineering (SGA&E) expense and favorable volume and mix including the non-recurrence of COVID-19-related customer shutdowns in Asia, partially offset by higher interest expense and general inflation.

Adjusted net loss, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted loss 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 is continuing to leverage world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities as well its innovation programs and reputation for quality to win new business awards with its customers. During the first quarter of 2021, the Company received net new business awards representing an incremental $40 million in anticipated future annualized sales. Importantly, $31 million of these net new business awards are on electric vehicle platforms.

Continuing Execution of ROIC and Margin Enhancement Initiatives

The Company remains focused on improving returns on invested capital and adjusted EBITDA margins to above 10 percent. A defined, company-wide initiative to accomplish these goals was initiated in late 2019 and the execution on the defined workstreams is ongoing. Full execution of the "Driving Value Plan" is expected to take approximately three years from inception. We believe we are on track to achieve the stated goals of the initiative by the end of 2022 with the first full year of sustained double-digit ROIC and adjusted EBITDA margins expected to be in 2023.

* Net of customer price reductions

  • Volume and mix, net of customer price reductions, was driven by volume increases in China due to the impact of COVID-19 plant shutdowns in 2020, partially offset by the impact of customer shutdowns primarily due to semiconductor supply shortages in both North American and Europe in 2021.
  • The impact of foreign currency exchange primarily related to the Euro, Renminbi, and Brazilian Real.

* Net of customer price reductions

  • Volume and mix, net of customer price reductions, was driven by the regional mix of vehicle production in each of our segments and includes increases in China due to the impact of COVID-19 plant shutdowns in 2020, partially offset by the impact of customer shutdowns primarily due to the semiconductor supply shortages in both North America and Europe in 2021.
  • The impact of foreign currency exchange was driven by the Mexican Peso, Polish Zloty, Czech Koruna, and Chinese Renminbi.
  • The Cost (Increases) / Decreases category above includes:
    • Reduction in compensation-related expenses due to salaried headcount initiatives, lower travel expenses, purchasing savings through lean initiatives, and restructuring savings;
    • Commodity cost, wage and variable employee compensation increases; and
    • Manufacturing efficiencies of $18 million, primarily driven by our North America and Asia Pacific segments.

Cash and Liquidity

At March 31, 2021, Cooper Standard had cash and cash equivalents totaling $398.8 million. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the Company had $141.4 million available under its amended senior asset-based revolving credit facility ("ABL"), inclusive of outstanding letters of credit, for total liquidity of $540.2 million at March 31, 2021. Based on our current expectations for light vehicle production and customer demand for our products, we expect our current strong cash balance and access to flexible credit facilities will provide sufficient resources to support ongoing operations and the execution of planned strategic initiatives.

Outlook

The ongoing global microchip shortage has caused significant delays and disruption of automotive production around the world. The timeframe for a resolution to the microchip market imbalance is uncertain. As a result, our largest customers have announced significant reductions of their production schedules for certain key vehicles in the second quarter of 2021.

At the same time, demand for new light vehicles remains strong. We anticipate that when microchips become more readily available, light vehicle production will ramp up quickly to fill inventory pipelines and meet strong consumer demand. Despite ongoing uncertainty and incremental commodity headwinds, the Company still expects to deliver full-year results within the ranges of our original guidance.

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, 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 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 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 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 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, net debt, 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 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 net income (loss) and free cash flow follow.
