1. Overview

Basis of Presentation

Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Cooper Standard”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (“CSA U.S.”), is a leading manufacturer of sealing, fuel and brake delivery, and fluid transfer systems. 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial information and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Annual Report”), 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 (“U.S. GAAP”) 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. The operating results for the interim period ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

2. Divestiture

2020 Divestiture

In the fourth quarter of 2019, management approved a plan to sell its European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses, as well as its Indian operations. The entities and the associated assets and liabilities met the criteria for presentation as held for sale as of March 31, 2020, and depreciation of long-lived assets ceased. The divestiture did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation.

Upon meeting the criteria for held for sale classification and during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $86,470 to reduce the carrying value of the held for sale entities to fair value less costs to sell. Fair value, which is categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, was determined using a market approach, estimated based on expected proceeds. The fair value less costs to sell were assessed each reporting period that the asset group remained classified as held for sale.

On July 1, 2020, the Company completed the divestiture of its European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses, as well as its Indian operations, to Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (“Mutares”). The transaction included payment denominated in Euro of €9,000, which consisted of €6,500 in cash paid and €2,500 in deferred payment obligations, payable in December 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded subsequent adjustments resulting in a net gain of $696.

3. Revenue

Revenue is recognized for manufactured parts at a point in time, generally when products are shipped or delivered. The Company usually enters into agreements with customers to produce products at the beginning of a vehicle’s life. Blanket purchase orders received from customers and related documents generally establish the annual terms, including pricing, related to a vehicle model. Customers typically pay for parts based on customary business practices with payment terms generally between 30 and 90 days.

Contract Estimates

The amount of revenue recognized is usually based on the purchase order price and adjusted for variable consideration, including pricing concessions. The Company accrues for pricing concessions by reducing revenue as products are shipped or delivered. The accruals are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and management’s best judgment. The Company also generally has ongoing adjustments to customer pricing arrangements based on the content and cost of its products. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with customers. Customer returns, which are infrequent, are usually related to quality or shipment issues and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company generally does not recognize significant return obligations due to their infrequent nature.

Contract Balances

The Company’s contract assets consist of unbilled amounts associated with variable pricing arrangements in its Asia Pacific region. Once pricing is finalized, contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable. As a result, the timing of revenue recognition and billings, as well as changes in foreign exchange rates, will impact contract assets on an ongoing basis. Contract assets were not materially impacted by any other factors during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The Company’s contract liabilities consist of advance payments received and due from customers. Net contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following:


	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		Change
Contract assets	$	418	$	777	$	(359)
Contract liabilities	(288)		(27)		(261)
Net contract assets	$	130	$	750	$	(620)

Other

The Company, at times, enters into agreements that provide for lump sum payments to customers. These payment agreements are recorded as a reduction of revenue during the period the commitment is made. Amounts related to commitments of future payments to customers on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were current liabilities of $16,254 and $16,932, respectively, and long-term liabilities of $6,818 and $6,828, respectively.

The Company provides assurance-type warranties to its customers. Such warranties provide customers with assurance that the related product will function as intended and complies with any agreed-upon specifications, and are recognized in costs of products sold.

4. Restructuring

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its business and objectives to ensure that it is properly configured and sized based on changing market conditions. Accordingly, the Company has implemented several restructuring initiatives, including closure or consolidation of facilities throughout the world and the reorganization of its operating structure.

The Company’s restructuring charges consist of severance, retention and outplacement services, and severance-related postemployment benefits (collectively, “employee separation costs”), other related exit costs and asset impairments related to restructuring activities. Employee separation costs are recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy.

The Company paid approximately $6,431 of debt issuance costs in connection with the transaction. Additionally, the Senior Secured Notes were issued at a discount of $5,000. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $5,248 and $5,828 of unamortized debt issuance costs, respectively, and $4,200 and $4,605 of unamortized original issue discount, respectively, related to the Senior Secured Notes, which are presented as direct deductions from the principal balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Both the debt issuance costs and the original issue discount are amortized into interest expense over the term of the Senior Secured Notes.

Term Loan Facility

In November 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to its senior term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”), which provides for loans in an aggregate principal amount of $340,000. On May 2, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Term Loan Facility to modify the interest rate. Subsequently, on March 6, 2018, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Term Loan Facility to further modify the interest rate. In accordance with this amendment, borrowings under the Term Loan Facility bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (1) with respect to Eurodollar rate loans, the greater of the applicable Eurodollar rate and 0.75% plus 2.0% per annum, or (2) with respect to base rate loans, the base rate, (which is the highest of the then current federal funds rate plus 0.5%, the prime rate most recently announced by the administrative agent under the term loan, and the one-month Eurodollar rate plus 1.0%) plus 1.0% per annum. The Term Loan Facility matures on November 2, 2023, unless earlier terminated.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $1,384 and $1,680 of unamortized debt issuance costs, respectively, and $892 and $1,084 of unamortized original issue discount, respectively, related to the Term Loan Facility, which are presented as direct deductions from the principal balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In March 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment of the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“the Amendment”). As a

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)

result of the Amendment, the senior asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) maturity was extended to March 2025 and the aggregate revolving loan availability was reduced to $180,000. The aggregate revolving loan availability includes a $100,000 letter of credit sub-facility and a $25,000 swing line sub-facility. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted $100,000 incremental loan facility, for a potential total ABL Facility of $280,000, if requested by the borrowers under the ABL Facility and the lenders agree to fund such increase. No consent of any lender is required to effect any such increase, except for those participating in the increase.

As of June 30, 2021, there were no loans outstanding under the ABL Facility. The Company’s borrowing base was $137,354. Net of the greater of 10% of the borrowing base or $15,000 that cannot be borrowed without triggering the fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance covenant and $5,233 of outstanding letters of credit, the Company effectively had $117,121 available for borrowing under its ABL facility.

Any borrowings under the ABL Facility will mature, and the commitments of the lenders under the ABL Facility will terminate, on the earlier of March 24, 2025 or the date 91 days prior to the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility (or another fixed asset facility replacing the Term Loan Facility).

As a result of the Amendment in March 2020, the Company wrote off $177 in unamortized debt issuance costs, which are presented in interest expense, net of interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $905 and $1,029, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility, which are presented in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Other

Other borrowings as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 reflect borrowings under local bank lines classified in debt payable within one year on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

10. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as 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, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized, 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.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency 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 assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:


	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020		Input
Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets	$	1,339	$	1,826	Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities	(141)		(750)		Level 2

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring 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 nonrecurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these nonrecurring 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 nonrecurring basis see Note 2. “Divestiture” and Note 7. “Property, Plant and Equipment.”

Items Not Carried at Fair Value

Fair values of the Company’s Senior Notes, Senior Secured Notes and Term Loan Facility were as follows:


	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Aggregate fair value	$	978,177	$	965,052
Aggregate carrying value (1)	974,700		976,400

(1) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount.

Fair values were based on quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into derivative instruments primarily to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows and designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in order to qualify for hedge accounting.

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, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and reclassified into earnings when the underlying hedged transaction is realized. The realized gains and losses are recorded on the same line as the hedged transaction in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on its derivative financial instruments. The Company mitigates this credit risk exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions with high credit standards that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.

Cash Flow Hedges

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts - The Company uses forward contracts 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. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include various European currencies, the Canadian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the notional amount of these contracts was $41,877 and $97,503, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to December 2022.

Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) were as follows:


	Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Forward foreign exchange contracts	$	1,190	$	3,372	$	642	$	(9,499)

Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were reclassified from AOCI and recognized in cost of products sold were as follows:


	Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI to Income
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Forward foreign exchange contracts	$	349	$	(4,666)	$	537	$	(4,551)

11. Accounts Receivable Factoring

As a part of its working capital management, the Company sells certain receivables through a single third-party financial institution (the “Factor”) in a pan-European program. The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow needs of the Company. These are permitted transactions under the Company’s credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes. The European factoring facility, which was renewed in March 2020, allows the Company to factor up to €120 million of its Euro-denominated accounts receivable, accelerating access to cash and reducing credit risk. The factoring facility expires in December 2023.

Costs incurred on the sale of receivables are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The sale of receivables under this contract is considered an off-balance sheet arrangement to the Company and is accounted for as a true sale and is excluded from accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts outstanding under receivable transfer agreements entered into by various locations as of the period end were as follows:


	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Off-balance sheet arrangements	$	66,367	$	85,108

Accounts receivable factored and related costs throughout the period were as follows:


	Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Accounts receivable factored	$	100,046	$	50,685	$	217,317	$	227,193
Costs	150		162		304		471

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, cash collections on behalf of the Factor that have yet to be remitted were $7,636 and $1,786, respectively, and are reflected in other current assets as restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

14. Income Taxes

The Company determines its effective tax rate each quarter based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate. The Company records 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.

Income tax benefit, loss before income taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Income tax benefit	$	(17,459)		$	(38,982)		$	(16,523)		$	(53,099)
Loss before income taxes	(81,988)			(174,966)			(115,765)			(301,522)
Effective tax rate	21		%	22		%	14		%	18		%

The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 varied compared to the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to the geographic mix of pre-tax losses, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and U.S. states, and due to a benefit in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 for net operating losses carried back up to five years at tax rates in effect during those periods under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), rather than carried forward at current federal tax rates of 21%. An incremental loss in the six months ended June 30, 2020 was recorded for impairment charges on held for sale entities for which no tax benefit was recognized. Additionally, a discrete expense of $12,871 for the initial recognition of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 varied from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and U.S. states, tax credits, the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, and other permanent items. Additionally, the income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 varied from the U.S. statutory rate as a result of benefits from net operating loss carry backs under the CARES Act. Further, the Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

15. Net Loss Per Share Attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.

Basic net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed by dividing net loss attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed using the treasury stock method by dividing diluted net loss available to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, using the average share price during the period.

Information used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020


Net loss available to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. common stockholders	$	(63,611)	$	(134,219)	$	(97,475)	$	(244,807)

Basic weighted average shares of common stock outstanding	17,031,113		16,914,971		16,991,372		16,899,344
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents	—		—		—		—
Diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding	17,031,113		16,914,971		16,991,372		16,899,344

Basic net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.	$	(3.73)	$	(7.93)	$	(5.74)	$	(14.49)

Diluted net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.	$	(3.73)	$	(7.93)	$	(5.74)	$	(14.49)

Securities excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share were approximately 164,000 and 45,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and approximately 172,000 and 40,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, because the inclusion of such securities in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

17. Common Stock

Share Repurchase Program

In June 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a common stock repurchase program (the “2018 Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $150,000 of its outstanding common stock. Under the 2018 Program, repurchases may be made on the open market, through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, as determined by management and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations. The Company expects to fund any future repurchases from cash on hand and future cash flows from operations. The Company is not obligated to acquire a particular amount of securities, and the 2018 Program may be discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. The 2018 Program became effective in November 2018. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $98,720 of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program.

The Company did not make any repurchases under the 2018 Program during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

18. Share-Based Compensation

The Company’s long-term incentive plans allow for the grant of various types of share-based awards to key employees and directors of the Company and its affiliates. The Company generally awards grants on an annual basis.

In February 2021, the Company granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), Performance Units (“PUs”) and stock options. The RSUs cliff vest after three years, the PUs vest ratably over three years after the initial two-year performance period, and the stock options vest ratably over three years. The number of PUs that will vest depends on the Company’s achievement of target performance goals related to the Company’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and total shareholder return, which may range from 0% to 200% of the target award amount.

Share-based compensation expense was as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
PUs	$	(645)	$	145	$	(306)	$	219
RSUs	885		1,767		2,131		3,410
Stock options	584		649		1,177		1,306
Total	$	824	$	2,561	$	3,002	$	4,935

19. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is periodically involved in claims, litigation and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. As of June 30, 2021, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for claims, litigation and various legal matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters.

In addition, the Company conducts and monitors environmental investigations and remedial actions at certain locations. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had approximately $11,444 and $13,302, respectively, reserved in accrued liabilities and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets on an undiscounted basis. While the Company’s costs to defend and settle known claims arising under environmental laws have not been material in the past and are not currently estimated to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, such costs may be material to the Company’s financial statements in the future.

20. Segment Reporting

The Company’s business is organized in the following reportable segments: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. All other business activities are reported in Corporate, eliminations and other. The Company’s principal products within each of the reportable segments are sealing, fuel and brake delivery, and fluid transfer systems.

The Company uses Segment adjusted EBITDA as the measure of earnings to assess the performance of each segment and determine the resources to be allocated to the segments. The results of each segment include certain allocations for general, administrative and other shared costs. Segment adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding and assessing the trends and significant changes in our results of operations and financial condition. Our historical results may not indicate, and should not be relied upon as an indication of, our future performance. Our forward-looking statements reflect our current views about future events, are based on assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below for a discussion of risks associated with reliance on forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause differences between actual results and those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“2020 Annual Report”), including Item 1A. “Risk Factors.” The following should be read in conjunction with our 2020 Annual Report and the other information included herein. Our discussion of trends and conditions supplements and updates such discussion included in our 2020 Annual Report. References in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) to “we,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Executive Overview

Our Business

We design, manufacture and sell sealing, fuel and brake delivery, and fluid transfer systems for use primarily in passenger vehicles and light trucks manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). We are primarily a “Tier 1” supplier, with approximately 83% of our sales in 2020 made directly to major OEMs. We operate our business along the following reportable segments: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. All other business activities are reported in Corporate, eliminations and other.

Recent Trends and Conditions

General Economic Conditions and Outlook

The global automotive industry is susceptible to uncertain economic conditions that could adversely impact new vehicle demand and production. Business conditions may vary significantly from period to period or region to region. The global COVID-19 pandemic created an unusually high degree of economic disruption and uncertainty during 2020, which has continued into 2021. Although optimism for a global economic recovery has increased in the first half of 2021, a considerable amount of uncertainty remains, including with respect to variant strains of the virus. The rate of recovery has varied across regions, and, in some cases, rapid growth and spikes in consumer and industrial demand have outpaced production and supply chain capacity. These supply/demand imbalances have added another layer of uncertainty for the broader economic outlook and for the automotive industry around the world. Despite these uncertainties, economists at the World Bank remain positive in their outlook and have recently increased their forecasts for global economic growth. They are now expecting the global economy to grow by approximately 5.6% in 2021.

In North America, the United States government has injected historic levels of fiscal stimulus into its economy to sustain businesses, create jobs and drive consumer confidence and spending. In addition, rapid distribution and administration of COVID-19 vaccines have enabled large segments of the economy to return to near normal levels of activity, spurring growth. Unemployment levels remained stable during the second quarter of 2021 at approximately 6.0% even though businesses have broadly reported shortages of labor in many markets. Inflation is also recently a factor that may weigh on future economic activity and growth. Despite these possible adverse impacts, World Bank economists currently expect economic growth of approximately 6.0% for the North America region in 2021.

In Europe, certain areas continue to experience recurring outbreaks of COVID-19 and some localized increases in pandemic related restrictions. However, vaccinations are increasing throughout the region, and this is expected to drive additional economic activity in the second half of the year. Unemployment in the region has been trending lower since the end of 2020 but at 7.3%, it remains significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. Based on the improving health and employment outlooks, the World Bank is projecting economic growth in the region of approximately 4.2% for 2021.

In the Asia Pacific region, China’s central government has pledged to maintain continuity of macroeconomic policies during 2021 to support investment and growth in the post-pandemic period. Unemployment in the region’s largest economy has declined to approximately 5.0%, similar to pre-pandemic levels. By the end of the second quarter, the Chinese central government was beginning to moderate credit support to business and infrastructure spending, a likely indication that the government believes the post pandemic recovery in the country is largely complete. Economists at the World Bank currently expect China’s economy to grow by 8.5% in 2021, fueled by pent-up domestic demand, as well as increasing export volumes.

In South America, the Brazilian economy continues to face significant challenges from high COVID-19 infection rates, with the peak occurring during the second quarter of 2021. Unemployment in the country also rose to a record 14.7% in the quarter. Inflation rates increased to 8.6% in June 2021, the highest level since 2016. Despite these negative factors, the Brazilian economy is showing signs of growth as vaccinations against COVID-19 are now increasing and sections of the economy are beginning to re-open. Economists at the World Bank estimate that the Brazilian economy will grow by approximately 4.5% in 2021. Given the long history of political instability and economic volatility, we remain cautious for the mid to long-term economic outlook in the region.

Raw Materials

Our business is susceptible to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials which may place operational and profitability burdens on the entire supply chain. Costs related to raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and oil and oil-derived commodities, continue to be volatile. In addition, due to increases in commodity costs in the first half of 2021, we expect these increases to have an impact on results in the second half of 2021. As such, on an ongoing basis, we work with our customers and suppliers to mitigate both inflationary pressures and our material-related cost exposures.

Production Levels

Our business is directly affected by the automotive vehicle production rates in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, as a result of COVID-19, we experienced the shutdown of effectively all of our facilities coinciding with the shutdown of our customer facilities in all regions. Production subsequently resumed in all regions, at steadily increasing rates throughout the year. We collaborate closely with our customers as production volumes continue to increase and approach pre-COVID-19 levels, while also adhering to enhanced safety standards and measures to protect our employees.

In the first quarter of 2021 and continuing into the second quarter, OEM production volumes were disrupted by the global shortage of semiconductors. The shortage has resulted in slowdowns and occasional stoppages in the final production of vehicles. While the supply issues are expected to improve in the second half of 2021, particularly in the fourth quarter of 2021, we are collaborating closely with our customers to minimize production inefficiencies while supporting their needs.

Light vehicle production in certain regions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
(In millions of units)	2021(1)	2020(1)	% Change	2021(1)	2020(1)	% Change

South America	0.6	0.2	300.5%	1.3	0.8	61.5%

(1)Production data based on IHS Automotive, July 2021.

In North America and Europe, vehicle production increased significantly compared to the prior year period for both the second quarter and the first half of 2021, despite the impact of semiconductor supply issues in the current year. The semiconductor supply issues in 2021 resulted in shutdowns at certain facilities, particularly in North America, for brief periods of time, as compared to the widespread and lengthy facility shutdowns in 2020 due to the initial impacts of COVID-19. In Asia Pacific, vehicle production increased in the first half of 2021 compared to the prior year periods primarily due to the impact of COVID-19 plant shutdowns in the prior year, which affected the region primarily in the first quarter of 2020. Decreased vehicle production in China in the second quarter of 2021 was the result of higher than normal vehicle production in the prior year period as production facilities re-opened after COVID-19 closures and met pent-up demand. In South America, vehicle production significantly increased, as the region is approaching more normalized volume after industry wide shutdowns in the prior year.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2020

Sales

Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased 56.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase in sales was driven by vehicle production volume increases due to non-recurrence of lengthy shutdowns in the prior year from COVID-19, offset in part by the impact of semiconductor supply issues in the current year. Foreign exchange also contributed to the increase in sales, partially offset by the prior year divestiture of our European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses and Indian operations.

** Includes the net impact of divestitures

Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of material, labor, manufacturing overhead, freight, depreciation, warranty costs and other direct operating expenses. The Company’s material cost of products sold was approximately 45% and 39% of total cost of products sold for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in the cost of products sold was impacted by vehicle volume and mix, the prior year divestiture of our European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses and Indian operations, continuous improvement and lean manufacturing, net commodity price fluctuations, foreign exchange and wage inflation.

Gross loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $59.4 million or 98.5% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change was driven by volume and mix, net favorable operational performance, lower variable employee compensation expenses, purchasing lean savings, restructuring savings, the prior year divestiture of our European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses and Indian operations. These items were partially offset by commodity and wage inflation and the non-recurrence of prior year COVID-19 government incentives.

Selling, Administration and Engineering Expense. Selling, administration and engineering expense includes administrative expenses as well as product engineering and design and development costs. Selling, administration and engineering expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 9.4% of sales compared to 20.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lower variable employee compensation expenses, salaried headcount initiative savings, and divestitures, partially offset by foreign exchange and general inflation.

Gain on Sale of Business, Net. The adjustment to the gain on sale of business of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 related to deconsolidation adjustments for the sale of our European fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses and Indian operations. We completed the sale on July 1, 2020.

Amortization of Intangibles. Intangible amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $1.6 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was driven by a customer relationship intangible asset in the North America region that was fully amortized during the second quarter of 2020.

Restructuring. Restructuring charges for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $1.9 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was driven by higher restructuring charges in Europe, primarily related to headcount initiatives and footprint rationalization.

Impairment Charges. Impairment charges of $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 related to idle assets, primarily in a certain Europe location. Impairment charges of $12.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily related to reducing the carrying value of our held for sale facilities to fair value less costs to sell.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $5.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a full quarter of interest expense for our Senior Secured Notes, which were issued in May 2020.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased $6.1 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to foreign currency gains.

Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $17.5 million on losses before income taxes of $82.0 million compared to an income tax benefit of $39.0 million on losses before income taxes of $175.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 differed primarily from the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 due to the geographic mix of pre-tax losses, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and U.S. states, as well as due to benefits recorded in the three month period ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act

(“CARES Act”) net operating loss (“NOL”) carry back provision that allows NOLs generated to be carried back up to five years at the tax rates in effect during those periods, rather than carried forward at current federal tax rates of 21%.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2020

Sales

Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased 20.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was driven by vehicle production volume increases due to non-recurrence of lengthy shutdowns in the prior year from COVID-19, offset in part by the impact of semiconductor supply issues in the current year. Foreign exchange also contributed to the increase in sales, which was partially offset by the prior year divestiture of our European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses and Indian operations.

Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of material, labor, manufacturing overhead, freight, depreciation, warranty costs and other direct operating expenses. The Company’s material cost of products sold was approximately 47% and 44% of total cost of products sold for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change in the cost of products sold was impacted by vehicle volume and mix, the prior year divestiture of our European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses and Indian operations, continuous improvement and lean manufacturing, net commodity price fluctuations, foreign exchange and wage inflation.

Gross profit (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 improved 491.0% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The change was driven by volume and mix, net favorable operational performance, lower variable employee compensation expenses, purchasing lean savings, restructuring savings, the prior year divestiture of our European rubber fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses and Indian operations. These items were partially offset by commodity and wage inflation and the non-recurrence of prior year COVID-19 government incentives.

Selling, Administration and Engineering Expense. Selling, administration and engineering expense includes administrative expenses as well as product engineering and design and development costs. Sales, administration and engineering expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was 9.0% of sales compared to 14.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to salaried headcount initiative savings, lower variable employee compensation expenses, lower professional fees, and divestitures, partially offset by foreign exchange.

Gain on Sale of Business, Net. The gain on sale of business of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to deconsolidation adjustments for the sale of our European fluid transfer and specialty sealing businesses and Indian operations. We completed the sale on July 1, 2020.

Amortization of Intangibles. Intangible amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $4.3 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was driven by a customer relationship intangible asset in the North America region that was fully amortized during the second quarter of 2020.

Restructuring. Restructuring charges for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $15.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increase was driven by higher restructuring charges in Europe, primarily related to headcount initiatives and footprint rationalization.

Impairment Charges. Impairment charges of $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to idle assets, primarily in a certain Europe location. Impairment charges of $87.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily related to reducing the carrying value of our held for sale facilities to fair value less costs to sell.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased $12.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to a full six months of interest expense for our Senior Secured Notes, which were issued in May 2020.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 decreased $4.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily due to lower foreign currency losses.

Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $16.5 million on losses before income taxes of $115.8 million compared to income tax benefit of $53.1 million on losses before income taxes of $301.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 differed primarily from the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 due to the geographic mix of pre-tax losses, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions and U.S. states, as well as benefits recorded in the six month period ended June 30, 2020 as a result of the CARES Act net operating loss carry back provision. Additionally, a discrete expense of $12.9 million for the initial recognition of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

We intend to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements through a combination of cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our senior asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) and receivables factoring. The Company utilizes intercompany loans and equity contributions to fund its worldwide operations. There may be country-specific regulations which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. See Note 9. “Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.

We continue to actively preserve cash and enhance liquidity, including decreasing our capital expenditures. Based on those actions and current projections of OEM customer production, we believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our ABL Facility and receivables factoring will enable us to meet our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements for the next twelve months, despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain issues facing the industry. We continuously monitor and forecast our liquidity situation, take the necessary actions to preserve our liquidity and evaluate other financial alternatives that may be available to us should the need arise. 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 ABL Facility, depend on our future operating performance and cash flows 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, including the impact of COVID-19, and other factors.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operations was $60.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net cash used in operations of $126.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The net change was primarily due to working capital improvements and higher cash earnings.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $52.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $62.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The reduction was primarily due to lower capital expenditures. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, significant decreases in capital expenditures occurred throughout 2020 and in the first and second quarters of 2021. We expect lower expenditures will continue in 2021, primarily as part of initiatives to consistently reduce overall capital spending. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $100 million to $115 million on capital expenditures in 2021.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $232.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The inflow in 2021 related to increases in short-term debt, while the inflow in 2020 was primarily due to proceeds from issuance of our Senior Secured Notes.

In June 2018, our Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program (the “2018 Program”) authorizing us to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Under the 2018 Program, repurchases may be made on the open market, through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, as determined by us and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations. We expect to fund any future repurchases from cash on hand and future cash flows from operations. The specific timing and amount of any future repurchase will vary based on market and business conditions and other factors. We are not obligated to acquire a particular amount of securities, and the 2018 Program may be discontinued at any time at our discretion. As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $98.7 million of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program.

We did not make any repurchases under the 2018 Program during the six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In evaluating our business, management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be 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 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, but are not limited to, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-cash fair value adjustments and acquisition-related costs.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measurements recognized under U.S. GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement 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 ABL Facility, Term Loan Facility, Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes;

•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 special items.

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

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q also contains estimates and other information that is based on industry publications, surveys, and forecasts. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and we have not independently verified the accuracy or completeness of the information.

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 2020 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure 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) 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. 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 at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
