NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollar amounts in thousands except Note 15, per share and share amounts)

1. Overview

Basis of presentation

Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company,” “Cooper-Standard,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a leading manufacturer of fluid handling, body sealing, and Anti-Vibration Systems (“AVS”) components, systems, subsystems, and modules. The Company’s products are primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks that are manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the Company. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. The operating results for the interim period ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU requires companies to present the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income, but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The effects of adoption were not significant and the additional required disclosures are included in Note 8. “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, Equity and Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests.”

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. This ASU permits companies to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired before performing the quantitative impairment test. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012 (early adoption is permitted). The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2013. The impact of the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

2. Goodwill and Intangibles

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are summarized as follows:


	North America			International			Total
Balance at January 1, 2013	$	115,420		$	18,296		$	133,716
Foreign exchange translation		(101	)		(373	)		(474	)

Balance at March 31, 2013	$	115,319		$	17,923		$	133,242

Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment, either annually or when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist, by reporting units determined in accordance with ASC 350, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”

3. Restructuring

The Company implemented several restructuring initiatives in prior years in connection with the closure or consolidation of facilities in North America, Europe, South America, Australia and Asia.

The Company commenced these initiatives prior to December 31, 2010 and continued to execute these initiatives through March 31, 2013. The majority of the costs associated with these initiatives were incurred shortly after the original implementation. However, the Company continues to incur costs on some of the initiatives related principally to the disposal of the respective facilities. The total expense incurred related to these actions amounted to $303 and $126 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. As of March 31, 2013 there is a liability of $130 associated with these initiatives recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

7. Income Taxes

Under ASC Topic 270, “Interim Reporting,” the Company is required to determine its effective tax rate each quarter based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company is also required to record the tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and effects of changes in tax laws or rates, in the interim period in which they occur. In addition, jurisdictions with a projected loss for the year where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was 28% as compared to 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 varies from statutory rates due to a discrete benefit for the effect of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 which retroactively reinstated the Federal Research and Development Tax Credit (as signed into law in early 2013), as well as the exclusion from U.S. federal taxable income of certain interest, dividends, rents, and royalty income of foreign affiliates, and the benefits of the credits with that income. Additionally, the income tax rate varies from statutory rates due to income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories of income, tax credits, income tax incentives, withholding taxes, and other permanent items. Further, the Company’s current and future provision for income taxes may be impacted by the recognition of valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

14. Business Segments

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes the standards for reporting information about operating segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company has determined that it operates in two segments, North America and International. The Company’s principal product lines within each of these segments are body and chassis products and fluid handling products. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment profit before tax. The results of each segment include certain allocations for general, administrative, interest, and other shared costs.

The Company intends to revise its segment disclosures beginning with the second quarter of 2013 from the two segments described above to four reportable segments, North America, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific. The Company organized, managed and reported its global business operations through the two geographic regions in the first quarter of 2013. In April 2013, the Company initiated a process of accumulating, summarizing and analyzing financial information under the four reportable segments. This new financial information will be used by management and the Company will modify its segment reporting starting in the second quarter of 2013.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands except Note 15, per share and share amounts)

16. Financial Instruments

Fair values of the Senior Notes approximated $480,938 and $487,125 at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively, based on quoted market prices, compared to the recorded value of $450,000. This fair value measurement is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair values of the redeemable preferred stock approximated $169,193 and $184,967 at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively, compared to the recorded values of $121,649 and $121,997 at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively. This fair value measurement is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company completed an agreement with FMEA on May 2, 2011, to establish a joint venture that combined the Company’s French body sealing operations and the operations of Société des Polymères Barre-Thomas (“SPBT”). SPBT was a French supplier of anti-vibration systems and low pressure hoses, as well as body sealing products, which FMEA acquired as a preliminary step to the joint venture transaction. SPBT changed its name to Cooper Standard France SAS (“CS France”) subsequent to the transaction. The Company has 51 percent ownership and FMEA has 49 percent ownership. In connection with the investment in CS France, the noncontrolling shareholders have the option, which is embedded in the noncontrolling interest, to require the Company to purchase the remaining 49 percent noncontrolling share at a formula price designed to approximate fair value based on operating results of the entity.

The noncontrolling interest is redeemable at other than fair value as the put value is determined based on a formula described above. The Company records the noncontrolling interests in CS France at the greater of 1) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling shareholders’ share of net income or loss and its share of other comprehensive income or loss and dividends (“carrying amount”) or 2) the cumulative amount required to accrete the initial carrying amount to the redemption value, which resulted in accretion of $219 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Such accretion amounts are recorded as increases to redeemable noncontrolling interests with offsets to equity. According to authoritative accounting guidance, the redeemable noncontrolling interest is classified outside of permanent equity, in mezzanine equity, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2013 the estimated redemption value of the put option is $10,290. The redemption amount related to the put option is guaranteed by the Company and secured with the CS France shares held by a subsidiary of the Company. The Company has determined that the non-recurring fair value measurement related to this calculation relies primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company’s assumptions, as observable inputs are not available. As such, the Company has determined that this fair value measurement resides within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. To determine the fair value of the put option, the Company utilizes the projected cash flows expected to be generated by the joint venture, then discounts the future cash flows by using a risk-adjusted rate for the Company.

According to authoritative accounting guidance for redeemable noncontrolling shareholders’ interests, to the extent the noncontrolling shareholders have a contractual right to receive an amount upon exercise of a put option that is other than fair value, and such amount is greater than carrying value, then the noncontrolling shareholder has, in substance, received a dividend distribution that is different than other common stockholders. Therefore the redemption amount in excess of fair value should be reflected in the computation of earnings per share available to the Company’s common stockholders. At March 31, 2013 there was no difference between redemption value and fair value.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including forwards and swap contracts, to manage its exposures to fluctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates. For a fair value hedge, both the effective and ineffective, if significant, portions are recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The ineffective portion, if significant, is recorded in other income or expense. When the underlying hedged transaction is realized or the hedged transaction is no longer probable, the gain or loss included in AOCI is recorded in earnings and reflected in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income on the same line as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands except Note 15, per share and share amounts)

The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the cash flow hedges. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities.

Cash Flow Hedges

Forward foreign exchange contracts – The Company enters into forward contracts to hedge currency risk of the U.S. Dollar against the Mexican Peso, the Romanian Leu against the Euro and the Euro against the Polish Zloty and the U.S. Dollar. The forward contracts are used to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flow arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. As of March 31, 2013, the notional amount of these contracts was $18,520. The fair values of these contracts at March 31, 2013 were $563 in the asset position recorded in other current assets and $14 in the liability position recorded in accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The gains or losses on the forward contracts are reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amount reclassified from AOCI into cost of products sold was $(50) for the three months ended March 31, 2013. These foreign currency derivative contracts consist of hedges of transactions up to December 2013.

Interest rate swaps – The Company has an interest rate swap contract to manage cash flow fluctuations of variable rate debt due to changes in market interest rates. This contract which fixes the interest payment of a certain variable rate debt instrument is accounted for as a cash flow hedge. As of March 31, 2013, the USD notional amount of this contract was $1,032. At March 31, 2013, the fair value before taxes of the Company’s interest rate swap contract was a liability of $40 and is recorded in accrued liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet with the offset reflected in AOCI, net of deferred taxes. The amount reclassified from AOCI into interest expense for this swap was $53 and $40 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The amount to be reclassified in the next twelve months is expected to be approximately $40. The maturity date of this swap contract is September 2013.

Undesignated Derivatives

As part of the FMEA joint venture, SPBT had undesignated derivative forward contracts to hedge currency risk of the Euro against the Polish Zloty which are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The forward contracts are used to mitigate the potential volatility of cash flows arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. These foreign currency derivative contracts relate to hedge transactions through April 2014. At March 31, 2013, the fair value of the Company’s undesignated derivative forward contracts was a net liability of $211 and is recorded in other current assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The unrealized gain or loss on the forward contracts is reported as a component of other income (expense), net. The unrealized gain (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 was $2,834 and $(188), respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:


Level 1:		Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2:		Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3:		Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except Note 15, per share and share amounts)

Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The Company also considers the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair value, and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. In certain instances where market data is not available, the Company uses management judgment to develop assumptions that are used to determine fair value. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, are shown below:


	December 31, 2012

Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these non-recurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For further information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, see Note 3. “Restructuring.”

17. Accounts Receivable Factoring

As a part of its working capital management, the Company sells certain receivables through third party financial institutions with and without recourse. The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow needs of the Company. The Company continues to service the receivables. These are permitted transactions under the Company’s credit agreement.

At March 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company had $85,678 and $89,015, respectively, outstanding under receivable transfer agreements without recourse entered into by various locations. The total amount of accounts receivable factored was $92,647 and $113,402 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Costs incurred on the sale of receivables were $609 and $645 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are recorded in other income (expense), net and interest expense, net of interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

At March 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company had $17,552 and $15,197, respectively, outstanding under receivable transfer agreements with recourse. The secured borrowings are recorded in debt payable within one year and receivables are pledged equal to the balance of the borrowings. The total amount of accounts receivable factored was $24,539 and $22,712 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Costs incurred on the sale of receivables were $110 and $84 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. These amounts are recorded in other income (expense), net and interest expense, net of interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

18. Subsequent Events

Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018

On April 3, 2013, Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. issued $175,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018 (the “Senior PIK Toggle Notes”) at an issue price to the public of 99.5%. Net proceeds were $171,063, which consisted of $175,000 of gross proceeds less $3,063 representing the discount payable to the initial purchasers with respect to the offering of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes and less the $875 issue price discount. The Senior PIK Toggle Notes were issued in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Senior PIK Toggle Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of April 3, 2013 between Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

Escrow of Proceeds; Special Mandatory Redemption. Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. deposited the proceeds of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes offering, together with additional cash on hand, into a segregated escrow account. Escrowed funds will be released to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. upon satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of the escrow release condition that $150,000 in value of the shares of Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.’s common stock is validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Equity Tender Offer (as defined below) on or before July 1, 2013. During the second quarter, the escrow release condition was satisfied and the funds were released and were used to finance, in part, the purchase of shares pursuant to the Equity Tender Offer and pay related fees and expenses.

Equity Tender Offer

On April 5, 2013, the Company commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to 4,651,162 shares of its common stock at a price of $43.00 per share (the “Equity Tender Offer”). During the second quarter, the Company purchased 4,651,162 shares pursuant to the Equity Tender Offer at a purchase price of $43.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $200,000. The Company used the proceeds from the issuance of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes (described above), together with cash on hand, to finance the purchase of shares pursuant to the Equity Tender Offer.

The following discussion and analysis, which should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes included elsewhere in this report, contains certain forward-looking statements relating to anticipated future financial condition and operating results of the Company and its current business plans. In the future, the financial condition and operating results of the Company could differ materially from those discussed herein and its current business plans could be altered in response to market conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences or changes include those discussed elsewhere in this report (see “Forward-Looking Statements”) and in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (see Item 1A. Risk Factors).

Business Environment and Outlook

Our business is directly affected by the automotive build rates in North America and Europe. It is also becoming increasingly impacted by build rates in Brazil and Asia Pacific. New vehicle demand is driven by macro-economic and other factors, such as interest rates, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment levels, income growth trends, as well as manufacturer and dealer sales incentives.

Competition in the automotive supplier industry is intense and has increased in recent years as OEMs have demonstrated a preference for stronger relationships with fewer suppliers. There are typically three or more significant competitors and numerous smaller competitors for most of the products we produce. Globalization and the importance of servicing customers around the world will continue to shape the success of suppliers going forward.

OEMs have shifted some research and development, design and testing responsibility to suppliers, while at the same time shortening new product cycle times. To remain competitive, suppliers must have state-of-the-art engineering and design capabilities and must be able to continuously improve their engineering, design and manufacturing processes to effectively service the customer. Suppliers are increasingly expected to collaborate on, or assume the product design and development of, key automotive components and to provide innovative solutions to meet evolving technologies aimed at improved fuel economy, emissions and safety.

Pricing pressure has continued as competition for market share has reduced the overall profitability of the industry and resulted in continued pressure on suppliers for price concessions. Consolidations and market share shifts among vehicle manufacturers continues to put additional pressures on the supply chain. These pricing and market pressures will continue to drive our focus on reducing our overall cost structure through lean initiatives, capital redeployment, restructuring and other cost management processes.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

Sales. Sales were $747.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $765.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $17.7 million, or 2.3%. Sales were negatively impacted by decreased volumes, customer price concessions and unfavorable foreign exchange of $4.8 million.

Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of material, labor, manufacturing overhead, depreciation and amortization and other direct operating expenses. Cost of products sold was $627.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $643.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $16.3 million or 2.5%. Raw materials comprise the largest component of our cost of products sold and represented 51% and 50% of total cost of products sold for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The period was favorably impacted by lean savings and foreign exchange, partially offset by higher staffing costs and other expenses associated with vehicle launches.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $120.3 compared to $121.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $1.4 million or 1.1%. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 15.9% and 16.1% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin was driven primarily by the favorable impact of our lean and restructuring savings, partially offset by customer price concessions, higher staffing costs and expenses associated with vehicle launches.

Selling, Administration and Engineering. Selling, administration and engineering expense was $75.1 million or 10% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $72 million or 9.4% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The three months ended March 31, 2013 was impacted by increased staffing and compensation expenses as we increase our research and development and engineering resources to support our growth initiatives around the world.

Restructuring. Restructuring charges decreased $1.3 million to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This decrease is due primarily to the timing of our various restructuring initiatives.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense of $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013 resulted primarily from interest and debt issue amortization recorded on the Senior Notes.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.3 million, which consisted primarily of unrealized losses related to forward contracts of $0.2 million, foreign currency gains of $0.3 million and loss on sale of receivables of $0.4 million. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $2.9 million, which consisted primarily of unrealized gains related to forward contracts of $2.8 million, foreign currency losses of $0.6 million, loss on sale of receivables of $0.2 million and miscellaneous income of $0.9 million.

Provision for Income Tax Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded an income tax provision of $7.9 million on income before income taxes of $27.8 million. This compares to an income tax provision of $8.1 million on income before income taxes of $32.2 million for the same period of 2012. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 differs from statutory rates due to a discrete benefit for the effect of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 which retroactively reinstated the Federal Research and Development Tax Credit (as signed into law in early 2013), as well as the exclusion from U.S. federal taxable income of certain interest, dividends, rents, and royalty income of foreign affiliates, and the benefits of the credits with that income. Additionally, the income tax rate varies from statutory rates due to income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories of income, tax credits, income tax incentives, withholding taxes, and other permanent items. Further, our current and future provision for income taxes may be impacted by the recognition of valuation allowances in certain countries. We intend to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Segment Results of Operations

The following table presents sales and segment profit (loss) for each of the reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2013:

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2012

North America. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased $5.3 million, or 1.4%, primarily due to a decrease in sales volume and customer price concessions. Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 decreased by $4.2 million, primarily due to decreased volumes, customer price concessions, higher staffing costs and expenses associated with vehicle launches, partially offset by the favorable impact of our lean savings.

International. Sales decreased $12.4 million, or 3.3%, primarily due to a decrease in sales volume, customer price concessions and unfavorable foreign exchange of $4.7 million. Segment loss increased by $0.2 million, primarily due to decreased volumes, customer price concessions and higher staffing costs, partially offset by the favorable impact of our lean and restructuring savings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

We intend to fund our ongoing capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operations, cash on hand and borrowings under our Senior ABL Facility in addition to certain receivable factoring. We anticipate that funds generated by operations, cash on hand and funds available under our Senior ABL Facility will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements for the next 12 months. For additional information, see Note 5. “Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Based on our current and anticipated levels of operations and the condition in our markets and industry, we believe that our cash on hand, cash flow from operations and availability under our Senior ABL Facility will enable us to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements for the foreseeable future. However, our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments and other obligations, and to comply with the financial covenants,

including borrowing base limitations, under our Senior ABL Facility, as amended, depends on our future operating performance and cash flow and many factors outside of our control, including the costs of raw materials, the state of the overall automotive industry and financial and economic conditions and other factors. Any future acquisitions, joint ventures or other similar transactions will likely require additional capital and there can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operations was $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which included $67.2 million of cash used that related to changes in operating assets and liabilities. The use of cash related to operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of increased accounts receivables and inventories, partially offset by increased accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net cash used in operations was $34.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which included $95.8 million of cash used that related to changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $31.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which consisted primarily of $34.3 million of capital spending, offset by a $2.1 million return on equity investments. Net cash used in investing activities was $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which consisted of $29.2 million of capital spending and final payment of $1.7 million related to the acquisition of Sigit S.p.A., offset by proceeds of $4.3 million for the sale of fixed assets. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $165 million on capital expenditures in 2013.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which consisted primarily of repurchase of common stock of $11.1 million, purchase of noncontrolling interest of $1.9 million, payments on long-term debt of $1.8 million and payment of cash dividends of $1.6 million, offset by an increase in short-term debt of $4.9 million. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, which consisted primarily of repurchase of preferred stock of $4.9 million, payments on long-term debt of $1.8 million and payment of cash dividends of $1.6 million, offset by an increase in short-term debt of $2.4 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating our business, management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as key indicators of our operating performance. Our management also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

•

because similar measures are utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants and ratios contained in our financing arrangements;

•

in developing our internal budgets and forecasts;

•

as a significant factor in evaluating our management for compensation purposes;

•

in evaluating potential acquisitions;

•

in comparing our current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry; and

•

in presentations to the members of our board of directors to enable our board of directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in their assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company.

In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus provision for income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net of interest income, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA, as adjusted for items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. These adjustments include restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-cash fair value adjustments, acquisition related costs and non-cash stock based compensation.

We calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting net income (loss) to eliminate the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measurements recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as alternatives for, net income (loss), operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. These limitations include:

•

they do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditure or contractual commitments;

•

they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

•

they do not reflect interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments under our Senior Notes and Senior ABL Facility;

•

they do not reflect certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;

•

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and

•

other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently and, as the number of differences in the way companies calculate these measures increases, the degree of their usefulness as a comparative measure correspondingly decreases.

In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, it should be noted that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the below presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2012			2013
	(dollar amounts in millions)
Net income attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.	$	23.8		$	20.7

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor created thereby. We make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and may make such statements in future filings with the SEC. We may also make forward-looking statements in our press releases or other public or stockholder communications. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions, business trends, and other information that is not historical information and, in particular, appear under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors,” and “Business Environment and Outlook.” When used in this report, the words “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends and data are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, no assurances can be made that these expectations, beliefs, and projections will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or achievements to be materially different from the future results or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this report include, among others: cyclicality of the automotive industry with the possibility of further material contractions in automotive sales and production effecting the viability of our customers and financial condition of our customers; global economic uncertainty, particularly in Europe; loss of large customers or significant platforms; supply shortages; escalating pricing pressures and decline of volume requirements from our customers; our ability to meet significant increases in demand; availability and increasing volatility in cost of raw materials or manufactured components; our ability to continue to compete successfully in the highly competitive automotive parts industry; risks associated with our non-U.S. operations; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; our ability to control the operations of joint ventures for our benefit; the effectiveness of our lean manufacturing and other cost savings plans; product liability and warranty and recall claims that may be brought against us; work stoppages or other labor conditions; natural disasters; our ability attract and retain key personnel; our ability to meet our customers’ needs for new and improved products in a timely manner or cost-effective basis; the possibility that our acquisition strategy may not be successful; our legal rights to our intellectual property portfolio; environmental and other regulations; legal proceedings or commercial and contractual disputes that we may be involved in; the possible volatility of our annual effective tax rate; our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness, obtain future financing, and meet dividend obligations on our 7% preferred stock; our underfunded pension plans; significant changes in discount rates and the actual return on pension assets; the possibility of future impairment charges to our goodwill and long-lived assets; the ability of certain stockholders to nominate certain members of the board of directors; and operating and financial restrictions imposed on us by our bond indentures and credit agreement. See Item 1A. Rick Factors, in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties. There may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf apply only as of the date of this report and are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative information about the Company’s market risk from those previously disclosed in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. However, based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are periodically involved in claims, litigation and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. In addition, we conduct and monitor environmental investigations and remedial actions at certain locations. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably for us. A reserve estimate is established for each matter and updated as additional information becomes available. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”) which could materially impact our business, financial condition or future results. Risks disclosed in the Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may materially adversely impact our business, financial condition or operating results.
