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, 2021 (the “2021 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 September 30, 2022 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. Deconsolidation and Divestiture

2022 Joint Venture Deconsolidation

In the first quarter of 2022, a joint venture in the Asia Pacific region that was previously consolidated with a noncontrolling interest amended the governing document underlying the joint venture. The amendment to the agreement did not change the Company’s 51% ownership. However, as a result of the amendment and effective as of January 1, 2022, the joint venture was deconsolidated and accounted for as an investment under the equity method. The Company remeasured the retained investment using the income approach method and performed a discounted cash flow analysis of the projected free cash flows of the joint venture. As a result of the deconsolidation, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a loss of $2,257, included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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. On July 1, 2020, the Company completed the divestiture to Mutares SE & Co. KGaA (“Mutares”). During the nine months ended September 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.

Revenue by customer group for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was as follows:

	North America		Europe		Asia Pacific		South America		Corporate, Eliminations and Other		Consolidated
Passenger and Light Duty	$	343,012	$	108,628	$	129,167	$	27,069	$	—	$	607,876

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 the 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022.

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

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		Change
Contract assets	$	3,690	$	—	$	3,690
Contract liabilities	(13)		(143)		130
Net contract assets (liabilities)	$	3,677	$	(143)	$	3,820

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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were current liabilities of $13,968 and $12,045, respectively, and long-term liabilities of $5,733 and $7,214, 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”), along with other related exit costs and asset impairments related to restructuring activities (collectively, “other exit costs”). Employee separation costs are recorded based on existing union and employee contracts, statutory requirements, completed negotiations and Company policy.

13.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2024

In May 2020, the Company issued $250,000 aggregate principal amount of its 13.0% Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes mature on June 1, 2024. Interest on the Senior Secured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on June 1 and December 1 of each year.

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. The Company has retained Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as its financial advisor to analyze, evaluate and help arrange a refinancing of the Term Loan Facility and possibly certain other debt instruments. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to refinance its Term Loan Facility. The Company continues its discussions with certain investors with respect to potential refinancing alternatives. While discussions are ongoing, the Company has not reached an agreement with respect to such a transaction for refinancing its capital structure and there can be no assurances that such an agreement will be reached in the future.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $642 and $1,087 of unamortized debt issuance costs, respectively, and $414 and $701 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. Both the debt issuance costs and the original issue discount are amortized into interest expense over the term of the Term Loan Facility.

ABL Facility

In November 2016, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement of its ABL Facility, which provided an aggregate revolving loan availability of up to $210,000, subject to borrowing base availability. In March 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment of the Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (“the Amendment”). As a 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 September 30, 2022, there were no loans outstanding under the ABL Facility. The Company’s borrowing base was $180,000. 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 $6,310 of outstanding letters of credit, the Company effectively had $155,690 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 of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $597 and $782, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the ABL Facility, which are presented in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Debt Covenants

The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Senior Notes, Senior Secured Notes, Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility as of September 30, 2022.

Other

Other borrowings as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021		Input
Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets	$	3,624	$	647	Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities	(487)		(1,535)		Level 2

(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. “Deconsolidation and 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:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Aggregate fair value	$	719,807	$	899,909
Aggregate carrying value (1)	970,450		973,000

(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 change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, to the extent that the hedges are effective, 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 flows 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional amount of these contracts was $155,054 and $136,103, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to December 2023.

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 September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

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:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Off-balance sheet arrangements	$	49,155	$	52,743

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

	Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Accounts receivable factored	$	89,263	$	68,897	$	262,145	$	286,214
Costs	156		117		395		421

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash collections on behalf of the Factor that have yet to be remitted were $5,216 and $673, respectively, and are reflected in other current assets as restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On October 11, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a resolution to merge certain of the Company’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans, and terminate the resulting merged plan (“U.S. Pension Plan”) effective December 31, 2022. The

19

termination of the U.S. Pension Plan is expected to take twelve to eighteen months to complete. As part of the termination process, the Company expects to settle benefit obligations under the U.S. Pension Plan through a combination of lump sum payments to eligible plan participants and the purchase of a group annuity contract, under which future benefit obligations and administration will be transferred to a third-party insurance company. Such settlements will be funded primarily from plan assets. Ultimate settlement of benefit obligations is dependent upon the participants’ elections. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the U.S. Pension Plan was overfunded under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles by $31,307 and $29,804, respectively.

13. Other Income (Expense), Net

The components of other income (expense), net were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021

(1)Loss attributable to deconsolidation of a joint venture in the Asia Pacific region, which required adjustment to fair value.

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) expense, loss before income taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Income tax (benefit) expense	$	(833)		$	32,121		$	1,824		$	15,598
Loss before income taxes	(34,053)			(92,743)			(127,337)			(208,508)
Effective tax rate	2		%	(35)		%	(1)		%	(7)		%

The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 varied from the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the initial recognition of valuation allowances in the U.S., resulting in tax expense of $31,740 and $13,278 recorded in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, the geographic mix of pre-tax losses, and the inability to record a benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to valuation allowances. Additionally the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were impacted by discrete tax impacts of the gain on sale-leaseback transaction in Europe, tax reserve changes, and other permanent items.

The income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 varied from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021 varied from the U.S. statutory rate as a result of the initial recognition of valuation allowances in the U.S.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company received $54,273 in cash payments from the United States Internal Revenue Service for tax refunds related to net operating loss carrybacks.

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

The Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by changes in valuation allowances in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s future provision for income taxes will include no tax benefit with respect to losses incurred and, except for certain jurisdictions, no tax expense with respect to income generated in these countries until the respective valuation allowances are eliminated. Accordingly, income taxes are impacted by changes in valuation allowances and the mix of earnings among jurisdictions. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. In completing this evaluation, the Company considers all available evidence in order to determine, based on the weight of the evidence, if a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets is necessary. Such evidence includes historical results, future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences and expectations for future taxable income (exclusive of the reversal of temporary differences and carryforwards), as well as the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. If, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded. If operating results improve or decline on a continual basis in a particular jurisdiction, the Company’s decision regarding the need for a valuation allowance could change, resulting in either the initial recognition or reversal of a valuation allowance in that jurisdiction, which could have a significant impact on income tax expense in the period recognized and subsequent periods. In determining the provision for income taxes for financial statement purposes, the Company makes certain estimates and judgments, which affect its evaluation of the carrying value of its deferred tax assets, as well as its calculation of certain tax liabilities.

Inflation Reduction Action of 2022

On August 16, 2022, the U.S. enacted the Inflation Reduction Action of 2022, which, among other things, implements a 15% minimum tax on financial statement income of certain large corporations, a 1% excise tax on net stock repurchases and several tax incentives to promote clean energy. Based on its current analysis of the provisions, the Company does not believe this legislation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements, but the Company is continuing to evaluate the implications.

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 September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Net loss available to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. common stockholders	$	(32,686)	$	(123,173)	$	(127,293)	$	(220,648)
Basic weighted average shares of common stock outstanding	17,218,165		17,097,766		17,181,534		17,027,226
Dilutive effect of common stock equivalents	—		—		—		—
Diluted weighted average shares of common stock outstanding	17,218,165		17,097,766		17,181,534		17,027,226
Basic net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.	$	(1.90)	$	(7.20)	$	(7.41)	$	(12.96)
Diluted net loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.	$	(1.90)	$	(7.20)	$	(7.41)	$	(12.96)

Securities excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share were approximately 52,000 and 169,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 52,000 and 159,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 September 30, 2022, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.

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 2022, the Company granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Units (“PUs”). 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. The PUs tied to total shareholder return cliff vest at the end of a three-year performance period. The PUs tied to ROIC cliff vest one year after the end of their individual performance periods. The RSUs vest ratably over three years.

Share-based compensation expense was as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
PUs	$	203	$	357	$	515	$	51

Stock options	289		549		981		1,726
Total	$	968	$	1,779	$	2,593	$	4,781

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 September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had approximately $10,780 and $9,965, 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 automotive 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.

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

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 2021 made directly to major OEMs. We operate our automotive 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. In 2021, global automotive production was negatively impacted by lingering impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and broad supply chain challenges stemming, in part, from a sharp rebound in overall industrial demand. In 2022, rising inflation, interest rates and continuing supply chain challenges are contributing to global economic uncertainty. In addition, recent pandemic related restrictions imposed in certain large population centers in China, the threat of additional lockdowns, and continuing military actions in Eastern Europe are having broad negative impacts on key sectors of the global economy.

In North America, U.S. consumer confidence has trended downward since the second quarter of 2021. Key drivers of the decline are significant inflation, continuing supply chain disruptions and rising interest rates. Geopolitical tensions and uncertainty surrounding the upcoming mid-term elections in the United States are also important factors. However, low unemployment rates, rising wages, continued government spending and private spending related to pent-up consumer demand continue to support economic growth. Economists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are expecting the economies of the United States, Canada and Mexico to grow by 1.6 percent, 3.3 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively, in 2022 with growth expectations moderating to 1.0 percent, 1.3 percent and 1.2 percent, respectively, in 2023.

In Europe, the war in Ukraine, related sanctions imposed on Russia and infrastructure disruptions are having a dramatic impact on energy prices and energy security. This is translating into lower output and higher inflation for most Eurozone countries. Supply chain disruptions have also hurt certain industries including the automobile sector, with the war and sanctions hindering the production of key input materials. With the European Central Bank having ended stimulative asset purchases and aggressively raising policy interest rates to stem inflation, economic growth is expected to moderate in the fourth quarter of 2022. Economists at the IMF are currently expecting the economy in the Eurozone region to grow by approximately 3.1 percent for the full year 2022 but just 0.5 percent in 2023.

In the Asia Pacific region, the combination of more transmissible variants and the strict zero-COVID strategy in China has led to repeated mobility restrictions and localized lockdowns that have weighed on economic activity and private consumption. Moreover, real estate investment in China, once a key driver of economic growth, has slowed significantly. However, higher infrastructure investment and government spending are expected to support growth for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. Economists at the IMF are expecting the Chinese economy to grow 4.3 percent in 2022, with expected growth moderating to just 2.6 percent in 2023.

In South America, the Brazilian economy continues to expand amid fiscal support and the lessening impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Increasing exports of goods and services have provided strong support and the unemployment rate remains low. Certain fiscal interventions such as recently enacted tax cuts and fuel subsidies have provided stimulative support

to the Brazilian economy in the second half of 2022 but may expire following the runoff presidential elections in late October. This would likely result in slower economic growth rates going forward. Economists at the IMF are now estimating the Brazilian economy will grow 2.9 percent for the full year 2022, with growth moderating to just 0.7 percent in 2023. We remain cautious for the economic outlook in this market given the long history of political instability and economic volatility 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-derived commodities, continue to be volatile, which led to significant increases in these costs in 2021. Current global events continue to add further price pressure and uncertainty to raw material costs for 2022. In addition, we continue to see significant inflationary pressure on wages, energy, transportation and other general costs. As such, we will continue to work on an ongoing basis with our customers and suppliers to mitigate both inflationary pressures and our material-related cost exposures through a combination of expanded index-based agreements and other commercial enhancements.

Production Levels

Our business is directly affected by the automotive vehicle production rates in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America which have been adversely affected by a series of events in recent years. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we experienced production shutdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in the first quarter of 2021, OEM production volumes were disrupted by the global shortage of semiconductors, but have improved sequentially quarter over quarter. In 2022, disruptions stemming from the Russia-Ukraine crisis and lockdowns in key Chinese manufacturing and trading hubs such as Shenzhen and Shanghai have further exacerbated supply chain disruptions and vehicle production levels. We continue to collaborate closely with our customers to minimize production inefficiencies while supporting their needs.

Light vehicle production in certain regions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,			Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In millions of units)	2022(1)	2021(1)	% Change	2022(1)	2021(1)	% Change
North America	3.7	3.0	24.2%	10.8	9.8	10.6%
Europe	3.6	3.0	20.3%	11.5	11.9	(3.3)%

South America	0.8	0.6	33.4%	2.1	1.9	10.0%

(1)Production data based on S&P Global (formerly IHS Markit), October 2022.

In all regions, production volumes were impacted by the global shortage of semiconductors which began in the first quarter of 2021 and deteriorated thereafter throughout the year. Production stoppages related to semiconductor and other supply chain shortages continued into 2022, but have improved sequentially quarter over quarter. In Europe, vehicle production in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was negatively impacted by additional supply chain issues related to the Russia-Ukraine crisis.

* Net of customer price adjustments, including recoveries

Sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased 24.8%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in sales was driven by volume and mix (higher net vehicle production volume due to the impact of lessening semiconductor supply issues in the current year) and net customer price adjustments including recovery of cost increases. This was partially offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange, and the deconsolidation of a joint venture in the Asia Pacific region. See Note 2. “Deconsolidation and Divestiture” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.

* Net of customer price adjustments, including recoveries

** Net of deconsolidation

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 52% and 47% of total cost of products sold for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The change in cost of products sold was impacted by higher volume and mix, commodity inflation, higher labor and overhead costs due to inconsistent volume production schedules, higher compensation related costs, and higher energy and transportation costs. These costs were partially offset by foreign exchange, manufacturing efficiencies, purchasing lean savings, restructuring savings and the deconsolidation of a joint venture in the Asia Pacific region.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $46.7 million, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The change was driven by volume and mix, net customer price adjustments including recovery of cost increases, manufacturing efficiencies, purchasing lean savings and restructuring savings, partially offset by commodity and wage inflation, higher compensation related costs, higher energy and transportation costs and foreign exchange.

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 September 30, 2022 was 6.8% of sales compared to 11.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the non-recurrence of a prior year credit loss, salaried headcount initiative savings and foreign exchange partially offset by higher compensation related costs.

Amortization of Intangibles. Intangible amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was comparable to the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Restructuring. Restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was comparable to the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Impairment Charges. Non-cash impairment charges for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased $0.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to impairments in Europe in the prior year period.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $2.5 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in interest rates on variable rate debt.

Other Income, Net. Other income, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased $0.6 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign exchange.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $0.8 million on losses before income taxes of $34.1 million compared to an income tax expense of $32.1 million on losses before income taxes of $92.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 differed from the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to the geographic mix of pre-tax losses, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions due to valuation allowances, and other permanent items during the three-month period ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, a discrete expense of $31.7 million for the initial recognition of valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. was recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

* Net of customer price adjustments, including recoveries

** Net of deconsolidation

•Volume and mix, net of customer price adjustments including recoveries, was driven by vehicle production volume increases due to a lessening impact on vehicle manufacturers of the semiconductor related supply issues partially offset by the impact of COVID-19 shutdowns in China and the Ukraine conflict in Europe.

•The impact of foreign currency exchange was primarily related to the Euro and Brazilian Real partially offset by the Mexican Peso, Chinese Renminbi and Korean Won.

•The Cost (Increases) / Decreases category above includes:

◦Commodity cost and inflationary economics;

◦Manufacturing efficiencies and purchasing savings through lean initiatives;

◦Increased compensation-related expenses; and

◦Decreased costs related to ongoing salaried headcount initiatives and restructuring savings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

The sources to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements are 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. 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 continued impact of COVID-19, and other factors. 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 requirements and capital expenditures for the next twelve months, despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain issues facing the industry. Our ability to meet our debt service requirements for the next twelve months is contingent upon our ability to refinance our Term Loan Facility.

33

Our Term Loan Facility matures on November 2, 2023. The Company has retained Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as its financial advisor to analyze, evaluate and help arrange a refinancing of the Term Loan Facility and possibly certain other debt instruments. To the extent the Company is not able to refinance its Term Loan Facility prior to the issuance of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, our independent auditors may issue an audit opinion including an explanatory paragraph that indicates there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The inclusion of such an explanatory paragraph in the report of our independent auditors would breach a covenant under our Term Loan Facility which, unless cured, would constitute an event of default thereunder. Such an event of default would cause a cross-default or cross-acceleration of other indebtedness. In such a case, the Company would not expect that it would have sufficient liquidity to repay all of its outstanding indebtedness at such time. The Company continues its discussions with certain investors with respect to potential refinancing alternatives. While discussions are ongoing, the Company has not reached an agreement with respect to such a transaction for refinancing its capital structure and there can be no assurances that such an agreement will be reached in the future.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operations was $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net cash used in operations of $111.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net change was primarily due to improved operating results and the receipt of $54.3 million in cash payments from the United States Internal Revenue Service for tax refunds related to net operating loss carrybacks.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $5.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $72.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change was primarily related to proceeds of $50.0 million related to the sale-leaseback of a certain European facility which were received in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 along with reduced capital spending in 2022. We expect to continue initiatives to reduce overall capital spending and anticipate that we will spend approximately $80 - $90 million on capital expenditures in 2022.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The outflow in 2022 was relatively consistent with the outflow in 2021.

Share Repurchase Program

In June 2018, our Board of Directors approved a 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, changes in tax laws (including the Inflation Reduction Act) 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 September 30, 2022, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.

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

34

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:

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.
