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 sealing and trim, fuel and brake delivery, fluid transfer, thermal and emissions 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the "2013 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 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, 2014 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.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists . This ASU requires that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if certain criteria are met. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2014. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the condensed 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, 2014 are summarized as follows:



	North America			Europe			South America		Asia Pacific			Total

On April 8, 2013 the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Amended and Restated Senior Loan and Security Agreement (“the Senior ABL Facility”), with certain lenders, which amended and restated the then existing of its senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The Senior ABL Facility provided for an aggregate revolving loan availability of up to $150,000 , subject to borrowing base availability and certain provisions of the Senior ABL Facility, including a $50,000 letter of credit sub-facility and a $25,000 swing line sub-facility.

The Amended Senior ABL Facility provides for an aggregate revolving loan availability of up to $150,000 , subject to borrowing base availability and certain provisions of the Amended Senior ABL Facility, including a $60,000 letter of credit sub-facility and a $25,000 swing line sub-facility. The Amended Senior ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted $105,000 incremental loan facility, for a potential total Amended Senior ABL Facility of $255,000 (if requested by the Company and the lenders agree to fund such increase). No consent of any lender (other than those participating in the increase) is required to effect any such increase.

Senior PIK Toggle Notes

On April 3, 2013, the Company issued $175,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior PIK Toggle Notes (the “Senior PIK Toggle Notes”). The Senior PIK Toggle Notes bear an interest rate of 7.375% and mature on April 1, 2018 . The Senior PIK Toggle Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated April 3, 2013. The Senior PIK Toggle Notes were issued at a discount of $3,938 . On May 20, 2013, the Company issued an additional $25,000 Senior PIK Toggle Notes pursuant to the indenture dated April 3, 2013. The Senior PIK Toggle Notes were issued at a discount of $188 .

Prepayment of the Notes

On March 21, 2014, the Company and Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. commenced cash tender offers for any and all of the outstanding Senior PIK Toggle Notes and Senior Notes, respectively. Pursuant to these cash tender offers, on the early tender deadline of April 3, 2014, (i) $198,000 principal amount of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes had been tendered and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 99.00% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes and (ii) $220,328 principal amount of the Senior Notes had been tendered and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 48.96% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes. On April 4, 2014, the Company purchased the Senior Notes and Senior PIK Toggle Notes tendered up to the early tender deadline and deposited sufficient funds with the trustee to redeem the remaining outstanding Senior Notes and Senior PIK Toggle Notes and pay accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption dates of April 21, 2014 and May 5, 2014, respectively. On April 18, 2014, the cash tender offers expired. On April 21, 2014, the Company purchased the additional Senior Notes (and Senior PIK Toggle Notes) tendered up to the expiration time and redeemed the remaining outstanding Senior Notes. The Company used borrowings under the Term Loan Facility, together with cash on hand, to finance the repurchase and redemption of the Senior PIK Toggle Notes and the Senior Notes. The approximate redemption prices for the Senior PIK Toggle Notes and the Senior Notes were 102.4% and 104.6% , respectively.

Term Loan Facility

On April 4, 2014, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in order to (i) refinance the Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018 of the Company and the 8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2018 of Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (the "Senior Notes"), including applicable call premiums and accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) pay related fees and expenses and (iii) provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Term Loan Facility provides for loans in an aggregate principal amount of $750,000 and may be expanded (or a new term loan facility added) by an amount that will not cause the consolidated first lien debt ratio to exceed 2.25 to 1.00 plus $300,000 . All obligations of the borrower are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by the direct parent company of the borrower and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of the borrower. The

Term Loan Facility matures on April 4, 2021, unless earlier terminated. On April 4, 2014, the aggregate principal amount was fully drawn to refinance the Senior PIK Toggle Notes and the Senior Notes and to pay related fees and expenses.

6. Pension and Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions

The following tables disclose the amount of net periodic benefit cost for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 for the Company’s defined benefit plans and other postretirement benefit plans:

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, 2014 was 36% as compared to 28% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 . The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to the tax benefits related to the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit under The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 which was enacted in the three months ended March 31, 2013 . The income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 varies from statutory rates due to income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates different from 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.

ASC 280, “ Segment Reporting ,” establishes the standards for reporting information about operating segments in financial statements. The Company organized, managed and reported its global business operations through two geographic segments in the first quarter of 2013. In April 2013, the Company implemented organizational and management changes of its global business operations resulting in four reportable segments associated with geographic regions. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company revised its segment disclosures beginning with the second quarter of 2013 from the two reportable segments, North America and International, to four reportable segments, North America, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific. The Company’s principal product lines within each of these segments are sealing and trim systems, fuel and brake delivery systems, fluid transfer systems, thermal and emissions systems, and anti-vibration systems. 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. Prior periods have been revised to conform to the current period presentation.

15. Financial Instruments

Fair values of the Senior Notes approximated $477,000 and $471,375 at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 , 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 Senior PIK Toggle Notes approximated $197,466 and $200,620 at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 , respectively, based on quoted market prices, compared to the recorded values of $196,484 and $196,686 at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 , respectively. This fair value measurement is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company completed an agreement with Fonds de Modernisation des Equipementiers Automobiles (“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% ownership and FMEA has 49% ownership in CS France. 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% noncontrolling share at a formula price designed to approximate fair value based on operating results of the entity.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

(Unaudited)

(Dollar amounts in thousands except Note 14, per share and share amounts)

The noncontrolling interest is redeemable at other than fair value as the put value is determined based on the formula described above. The Company records the noncontrolling interest 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. According to authoritative accounting guidance, the redeemable noncontrolling interest was classified outside of permanent equity, in mezzanine equity, on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

At December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 , the estimated redemption value of the put option relating to the noncontrolling interest in CS France was $0 . The redemption amount, if any, 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, 2014 there was no difference between redemption value and fair value.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, including forward 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 loss 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 accumulated other comprehensive loss 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.

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 and accrued 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 and the Euro against 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, 2014 , the notional amount of these contracts was $17,326 . The fair values of these contracts at March 31, 2014 were $217 in the asset position recorded in other current assets and $79 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 accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into cost of products sold was $7 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 . These foreign currency derivative contracts consist of hedges of transactions up to December 2014 .

(Dollar amounts in thousands except Note 14, per share and share amounts)

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 . As of March 31, 2014 , the notional amount of these contracts was $930 . At March 31, 2014 , the fair value of the Company’s undesignated derivative forward contracts was a liability of $4 and is recorded in accrued 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 loss amounted to $188 and $38 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 , 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.

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, 2013 and March 31, 2014 , are shown below:



	December 31, 2013			March 31, 2014			Input
Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets	$	36		$	217		Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities	(1		)	(83		)	Level 2

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.”

16. 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 Term Loan Facility, Amended Senior ABL Facility and Senior ABL Facility.

At March 31, 2013 and 2014 , the Company had $89,015 and $120,366 , respectively, outstanding under receivable transfer agreements without recourse entered into by various locations. The total amount of accounts receivable factored were $113,402 and $139,130 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 , respectively. Costs incurred on the sale of receivables were $645 and $798 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 , 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, 2013 and 2014 , the Company had $15,197 and $9,500 , 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 $22,712 and $15,695 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 , respectively. Costs incurred on the sale of receivables were $84 and $92 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 , 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.

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 emissions, fuel economy, fit and finish and overall performance.

Consolidations and market share shifts among vehicle manufacturers continues to put additional pressures on the supply chain. At the same time, the introduction of multiple new vehicle platforms across most OEMs, coupled with volume recovery in some regions, has put increased pressure on the supply chain’s capital and capacity. We expect to continue to add necessary infrastructure to support our customers' new vehicle launch needs and transfer capacity to low cost regions to both address pricing pressure and provide local support to customers in emerging markets.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

Sales. Sales were $837.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $747.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , an increase of $90.0 million , or 12.0% . Sales were favorably impacted by increased volumes, primarily in North America and Europe, and incremental sales related to the Jyco acquisition, which was completed July 31, 2013. These items were partially offset by customer price concessions and unfavorable foreign exchange of $4.7 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 $703.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $627.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , an increase of $76.0 million, or 12.1% . Raw materials comprise the largest component of our cost of products sold and represented approximately 50% and 49% of total cost of products sold for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 , respectively. The period was impacted by increased volumes primarily in North America and Europe, higher staffing costs, other operating expenses and the Jyco acquisition. These items were partially offset by continuous improvement savings.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $134.3 million compared to $120.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , an increase of $14.0 million, or 11.6% . The increase in gross profit was driven primarily by the favorable impact of continuous improvement savings and increased volumes primarily in North America and Europe, partially offset by customer price concessions, higher staffing costs and other operating expenses. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 16.1% and 16.0% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 , respectively.

Selling, Administration and Engineering. Selling, administration and engineering expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $79.6 million , or 9.5% of sales, compared to $75.1 million , or 10.0% of sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 . Selling, administration and engineering expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 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 and improve our business processes.

Restructuring. Restructuring charges were $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 . The decrease is due primarily to the timing of our various restructuring initiatives.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense of $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 resulted primarily from interest and debt issue amortization recorded on the Senior Notes and Senior PIK Toggle Notes. Net interest expense of $11.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 consisted primarily of interest and debt issue amortization recorded on the Senior Notes.

Other Income (Expense), Net. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted primarily of foreign currency gains of $0.5 million and loss on sale of receivables of $0.5 million . Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $0.3 million , which consisted of foreign currency gains of $0.3 million , loss on sale of receivables of $0.4 million and unrealized losses related to forward contracts of $0.2 million .

Income Tax Expense . For the three months ended March 31, 2014 , we recorded an income tax expense of $12.1 million on earnings before income taxes of $33.4 million . This compares to an income tax expense of $7.9 million on earnings before income taxes of $27.8 million for the same period of 2013 . The higher income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to the tax benefits related to the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit under The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 which was enacted in the three months ended March 31, 2013 . Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 differs from statutory rates due to income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates different from 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.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

North America. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $49.8 million , or 13.0% , primarily due to an increase in sales volume, partially offset by customer price concessions and unfavorable foreign exchange of $7.2 million. In addition, sales were favorably impacted by the Jyco acquisition which was completed July 31, 2013. Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $4.7 million , primarily due to increased volumes, the favorable impact of continuous improvement savings and the Jyco acquisition, partially offset by customer price concessions, higher staffing costs and other operating expenses.

Europe. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $43.7 million , or 16.5% , primarily due to an increase in sales volume and favorable foreign exchange of $11.4 million, partially offset by customer price concessions. Segment loss improved by $2.9 million , primarily due to increased volumes and the favorable impact of continuous improvement savings, partially offset by customer price concessions, higher staffing costs and other operating expenses.

South America. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $5.6 million , or 12.4% , primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange of $7.3 million, partially offset by an increase in sales volume. Segment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 improved by $0.9 million , primarily due to the favorable impact of continuous improvement savings and increased volumes, partially offset by higher material costs.

Asia Pacific. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $2.2 million , or 4.0% , primarily due to the Jyco acquisition which was completed July 31, 2013, partially offset by customer price concessions and unfavorable foreign exchange of $1.6 million. Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by $2.7 million , primarily due to higher staffing costs and customer price concessions, partially offset by the favorable impact of continuous improvement savings and the Jyco acquisition.

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 Amended Senior ABL Facility, in addition to certain receivable 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 5. “Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

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 Amended Senior ABL Facility will enable us to meet our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements for the next 12 months. 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 Amended Senior ABL Facility, 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 provided by operations was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 , which included $56.6 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 and decreased accounts payable, partially offset by increased accrued liabilities. Net cash used in operations was $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 , which included $68.6 million of cash used that related to changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $60.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 , which consisted primarily of $63.8 million of capital spending, offset by a $1.0 million return on equity investments and proceeds of $2.1 million for the sale of fixed assets and other. 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 and proceeds of $0.2 million from the sale of fixed assets and other. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $195 million to $205 million on capital expenditures in 2014 .

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 , which consisted primarily of $4.6 million related to the exercise of stock warrants and increases in short and long-term debt of $2.3 million and $4.4 million , respectively, partially offset by debt issuance costs of $0.7 million . 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 on our 7% preferred stock of $1.7 million , offset by an increase in short-term debt of $4.9 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 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, non-cash stock based compensation and non-cash gains and losses from certain foreign currency transactions and translation.

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. 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, Senior PIK Toggle 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 comparable financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2013			2014
	(dollar amounts in millions)
Net income attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.	$	20.7		$	19.7

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 affecting the viability of our customers and financial condition of our customers; global economic uncertainty, particularly in Europe; loss of large customers or significant platforms; our ability to generate sufficient cash to service our indebtedness, and obtain future financing; operating and financial restrictions imposed on us by our credit agreements; our underfunded pension plans; 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 continuous improvement program and other cost savings plans; a disruption in our information technology systems; product liability and warranty and recall claims that may be brought against us; work stoppages or other labor conditions; natural disasters; 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; the possible volatility of our annual effective tax rate; 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; and the interests of our major stockholders may conflict with our interests. See Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our 2013 Annual Report 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 2013 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 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 March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to 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. We accrue 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 March 31, 2014 , management does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for our litigation claims and matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters.

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 2013 Annual Report which could materially impact our business, financial condition or future results. Risks disclosed in the 2013 Annual Report 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.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On May 24, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a securities repurchase program (the “Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $50 million of its outstanding common stock or warrants to purchase common stock. Under the Program, repurchases may be made on the open market or through private transactions, as determined by the Company’s management and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations. The Company expects to fund all 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 program may be discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion. This program was not affected by our May 2013 tender offer, pursuant to which we purchased approximately $200 million of our common stock.

The following table presents repurchases of common stock during the period covered by this Report:



2014	Total Number of Shares Purchased ⁽¹⁾	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under the Program (in millions)
January 1 - January 31	596	$	52.62	—	$	45.4
February 1 - February 28	26	$	56.99	—	$	45.4
March 1 - March 31	7,682	$	66.04	—	$	45.4
Total	8,304	$	65.05	—	$	45.4


(1)	8,304 shares of common stock were deemed surrendered to the Company by participants in various benefit plans of the Company to satisfy the participants’ taxes related to vesting or delivery of time vesting restricted share units under those plans.
