1. iOverview
i
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.
During
the first quarter of 2019 and in prior periods, the Company also operated an anti-vibration systems product line. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the divestiture of its anti-vibration systems product line. See Note 4. “Divestiture.”
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, 2018 (the “2018 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, 2019 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.
Correction of Errors
During the third quarter of 2019, the Company identified errors related to the timing of recording pricing matters with customers in the Asia Pacific region. These errors primarily related to periods prior to fiscal year 2019 and resulted in an out-of-period adjustment that decreased sales by $i8,498,
net income by $i6,220 and diluted EPS by $i0.36
for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and increased accrued liabilities and other liabilities as of September 30, 2019 by $i6,220, net of tax impact. In addition, an immaterial amount related to these matters was recorded during the third quarter of 2019 that related to the first and second quarters of 2019.
Management
evaluated the effect of the adjustments on the Company’s financial statements under the provision of ASC 250: Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99: Materiality and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108: Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements and concluded that the errors were immaterial to the prior year’s annual financial statements and expected financial results for the current year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, and all related amendments
using the modified retrospective method whereby the cumulative effect of adopting the standard was recognized in equity at the date of initial application. Comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The most prominent among the changes in the standard is the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases (except for short-term leases). The Company made a policy election for all asset classes to exclude the balance sheet recognition of leases with a lease term, at lease commencement, of 12 months or less and no purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised. The standard also requires additional disclosures to help financial statement users better understand the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from lease transactions. The new standard resulted
in a material increase in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet beginning in 2019 and had no impact on its condensed consolidated income statement or to cash provided by (used in) operating, financing or investing activities on its condensed consolidated cash flow statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)
The difference between the lease assets and lease liabilities was recorded as an adjustment to the opening
balance of retained earnings. iThe cumulative effects of the changes made to the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2019 were as follows:
The
Company elected the package of practical expedients on existing leases as of the effective date which permits the Company to carry forward lease classification and not reassess existing contracts in order to determine if the contracts contain a lease. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient to not reassess whether any expired or existing land easements contain leases.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The
Company considered the recently issued accounting pronouncement summarized as follows, which is not expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements:
Standard
Description
Effective Date
ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
Amends guidance on the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial instruments, including
trade receivables, based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.
In
the third quarter of 2018, the Company acquired the assets and liabilities of Lauren Manufacturing and Lauren Plastics (together, “Lauren”), extruders and molders of organic, silicone, thermoplastic and engineered polymer products with expertise in sealing solutions, to further expand the Company’s Industrial and Specialty Group and non-automotive and adjacent markets. The base purchase price of the acquisition was $i92,700.
The results of operations of Lauren are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition and reported within the North America segment. The pro forma effect of this acquisition would not have materially impacted the Company’s reported results for any periods presented, and as a result no pro forma information has been presented. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, resulting in the recognition of intangible assets of $i34,810
and tax deductible goodwill of $i26,080. Since completion of initial estimates in the third quarter of 2018, the Company has recorded insignificant measurement period adjustments to increase the provisional identifiable net assets acquired, which resulted in a decrease
to goodwill.

LS Mtron Automotive Parts Acquisition
In the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company acquired i80.1%
of LS Mtron Ltd.’s automotive parts business, now named Cooper Standard Automotive and Industrial, Inc. The acquisition adds jounce brake lines and charge air cooling technology to the Company’s automotive fluid transfer and fuel and brake delivery systems product lines and further expands core product offerings. The base purchase price was $i25,750. The noncontrolling
interest was determined to have a fair value of $i6,400. The results of operations of Cooper Standard Automotive and Industrial, Inc. are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition and reported within the Asia Pacific segment.
The pro forma effect of this acquisition would not have materially impacted the Company’s reported results for any periods presented, and as a result no pro forma information has been presented. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed approximated the fair value of the consideration transferred. In 2019, the Company recorded insignificant measurement period adjustments primarily due to working capital adjustments, which resulted in an increase to the base purchase price.
Hutchings Automotive Products Acquisition
In the fourth quarter of 2018, the
Company acquired the assets and liabilities of Hutchings Automotive Products, LLC (“Hutchings”), a North American supplier of high quality fluid carrying products for automotive powertrain and coolant systems applications. The base purchase price was $i42,100. The results of operations of Hutchings are included in the Company's condensed consolidated
financial statements from the date of acquisition and reported within the North America segment. The pro forma effect of this acquisition would not have materially impacted the Company’s reported results for any periods presented, and as a result no pro forma information has been presented. This acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, resulting in the recognition of intangible assets of $i11,100
and tax deductible goodwill of $i5,200.
4. iDivestiture
In
the third quarter of 2018, management approved a plan to sell the anti-vibration systems (“AVS”) product line within its North America, Europe and Asia Pacific segments. The business and its associated assets and liabilities met the criteria for presentation as held for sale as of September 1, 2018, and depreciation of long-lived assets ceased. The divestiture did not meet the criteria for presentation as a discontinued operation.
On November 2, 2018, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with an unaffiliated company to divest the AVS product line. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed
its sale of the AVS product line to Continental AG. The total sale price of the transaction was $i265,500, subject to certain adjustments. Cash proceeds received in the second quarter were $i243,362
after adjusting for certain liabilities assumed by the purchaser. The net cash proceeds after taxes, post-closing adjustments and transaction-related expenses and fees are expected to be approximately $i215,000 to $i220,000.
The Company recognized a gain on the divestiture of $i188,180, subject to post-closing adjustments. Adjustments to the gain recorded in the third quarter of 2019 relate primarily to working capital adjustments. In addition, at closing, the Company and Continental AG entered into certain ancillary agreements providing for the transition of the AVS product line.

5. iRevenue
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.

The
automotive group consists of sales to automotive OEMs and automotive suppliers, while the commercial group represents sales to OEMs of on- and off-highway commercial equipment and vehicles. The other customer group includes sales related to specialty and adjacent markets.
Substantially all of the Company’s revenues were generated from sealing, fuel and brake delivery, fluid transfer and anti-vibration systems for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks manufactured by global OEMs. On April 1, 2019, the Company completed the divestiture of its anti-vibration systems product line. See Note 4. “Divestiture.”

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)
A summary of the Company’s products is as follows:
Product Line
Description
Sealing Systems
Protect
vehicle interiors from weather, dust and noise intrusion for improved driving experience; provide aesthetic and functional class-A exterior surface treatment
Fuel & Brake Delivery Systems
Sense, deliver and control fluids to fuel and brake systems
Fluid Transfer Systems
Sense, deliver and control fluids and vapors for optimal powertrain & HVAC
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 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.
The Company’s contract assets consist of unbilled amounts associated with variable pricing arrangements in its
Asia Pacific region. Once pricing is finalized, contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable. As a result, the timing of revenue recognition and billings, as well as changes in foreign exchange rates, will impact contract assets on an ongoing basis. Contract assets were not materially impacted by any other factors during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
The Company’s contract
liabilities consist of advance payments received and due from customers. iNet contract assets (liabilities) consisted of the following:
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.

Company evaluates its business and objectives to ensure that it is properly configured and sized based on changing market conditions. Accordingly, the Company has implemented several restructuring initiatives, including closure or consolidation of facilities throughout the world and the reorganization of its operating structure.
The Company’s restructuring charges consist of severance, retention and outplacement services, and severance-related postemployment benefits (collectively, “employee separation costs”), other related exit costs and asset impairments related to restructuring activities.

Restructuring expense by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:
On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases, and all related amendments using the modified retrospective method. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current operating
lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2019. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, debt payable within one year, and long-term debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Lease right-of-use assets are recognized at commencement date based upon the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that
it will exercise the option. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based upon information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company applies the portfolio approach for the incremental borrowing rate on its leases based upon similar lease terms and payments. The lease right-of-use asset also includes lease payments made in advance of lease commencement and excludes lease incentives. Operating lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The
Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. For real estate leases, these components are accounted for separately, while for equipment leases commencing on or after January 1, 2019, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
Variable lease expense includes payments based upon changes in a rate or index, such as consumer price indexes, as well as usage of the leased asset. Short-term lease expense includes leases with terms, at lease commencement, of 12 months or less and no purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

9. iProperty,
Plant and Equipment
i
Property, plant and equipment consists of the following:
Due
to the termination of certain customer programs in the Asia Pacific region, the Company recorded an impairment charge related to machinery and equipment of $i1,958 during the three months ended September 30, 2019. The fair value of machinery and equipment was determined using estimated salvage value, which was deemed the highest and best use of the assets.
Impairment
charges of $i4,146 recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 also included an impairment charge recorded in the second quarter related to machinery and equipment due to the continuing adverse financial results in certain Asia Pacific locations. The fair value of buildings and machinery and equipment was determined using market value and estimated orderly liquidation value, respectively, which was deemed the highest and best use of the assets.
During
the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company realized a gain on sale of land of $i10,714 in its Europe segment. The net book value of the land was $i5,446.
The sale of land was contemplated in conjunction with the Company’s restructuring plan.

The balance of goodwill relates to the North America reporting unit. iChanges in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable operating segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:
Goodwill
is tested for impairment by reporting unit annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may exist. There were no indicators of potential impairment during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
In November 2016, the Company issued $i400,000 aggregate principal amount of its i5.625%
Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes mature on iNovember 15, 2026. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on May 15 and November 15 of each year.
Debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes are amortized into interest expense over the term of the Senior Notes. As of September 30, 2019
and December 31, 2018, the Company had $i5,065 and $i5,601
of unamortized debt issuance costs, respectively, related to the Senior Notes, which are presented as direct deductions from the principal balance in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Term Loan Facility
Also 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 $i340,000.
Subject to certain conditions, the Term Loan Facility, without the consent of the then-existing lenders (but subject to the receipt of commitments), may be expanded (or a new term loan or revolving facility added) iby an amount that will not cause the consolidated secured net debt ratio to exceed 2.25 to 1.00 plus $400,000 plus any voluntary prepayments, including the ABL Facility (as defined below) to the extent commitments are reduced, not funded from proceeds of long-term indebtedness. The Term Loan Facility matures on iNovember
2, 2023, unless earlier terminated.
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 ieither
(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. As a result of Amendment No. 3, the Company recognized a loss on refinancing and extinguishment of debt of $i770
in the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, which was due to the partial write off of new and unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount.
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $i2,421
and $i2,866 of unamortized debt issuance costs, respectively, and $i1,561
and $i1,849 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 $i210,000 Third Amended and Restated Loan Agreement of its senior asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”).
The ABL Facility provides for an aggregate revolving loan availability of up to $i210,000,
subject to borrowing base availability, including a $i100,000 letter of credit sub-facility and a $i25,000
swing line sub-facility. The ABL Facility also provides for an uncommitted $i100,000 incremental loan facility, for a potential total ABL Facility of $i310,000,
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, 2019, there were no obligations outstanding drawn under the ABL Facility. Subject to borrowing base availability, the Company had $i193,106
in availability, less outstanding letters of credit of $i9,387.
Any borrowings under the ABL Facility will mature, and the commitments of the lenders under the ABL Facility will terminate, on iNovember
2, 2021.
As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $i766 and $i1,015,
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, Term Loan Facility and ABL Facility as of September 30, 2019.
Other
Other borrowings as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 reflect borrowings under local bank lines classified
in debt payable within one year on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

12. iFair
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 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. iFair 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:
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 3. “Acquisitions” and Note 9. “Property, Plant and Equipment.”
Items
Not Carried at Fair Value
i
Fair values of the Company’s Senior Notes and Term Loan Facility were as follows:
(1)
Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount.
/
Fair values were based on quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into derivative instruments primarily to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows and
designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in order to qualify for hedge accounting.
The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the cash flow hedges. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”)
in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and reclassified into earnings when the underlying hedged transaction is realized. The realized gains and losses are recorded on the same line as the hedged transaction in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)
(Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on its derivative financial instruments. The
Company mitigates this credit risk exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions with high credit standards that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.
Cash Flow Hedges
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts - The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flow arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the
Company’s foreign currency transactions. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include various European currencies, the Canadian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the notional amount of these contracts was $i39,890
and $i154,237, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to June 2020.
Interest rate swaps - The Company has historically used interest rate swap contracts
to manage cash flow variability associated with its variable rate Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swap contract, which fixes the interest payments of variable rate debt instruments, is used to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of September 30, 2019, there were no interest rate swap contracts outstanding.

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

13. iAccounts Receivable Factoring
As a part of its working capital management, the Company sells certain receivables through a single third-party financial
institution in a pan-European program (the “Factor”). 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 indenture governing the Senior Notes. 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. iAmounts outstanding under receivable transfer agreements entered into by various locations as of the period end were as follows:
The
Company continues to service sold receivables and acts as collection agent for the Factor. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, cash collections on behalf of the Factor that have yet to be remitted were $i16,254 and $i14,542,
respectively, and are reflected in cash and cash equivalents in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Subsequent event
Subsequent to the end of the Company's third quarter, on October 1, 2019, the Company completed the purchase of a bulk annuity policy designed to match the liabilities of its U.S. pension plan, resulting in a reduction of the
Company’s overall projected benefit obligation by $i57,323. There were no additional cash contributions as part of the transaction and no material changes to the overall funded ratio as a result of the settlement. The transaction is anticipated to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019 and the Company expects to incur non-cash settlement charges of
approximately $i15,042.

iIncome 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.

i
Income tax expense (benefit), income (loss) before income
taxes and the corresponding effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
The
effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was higher primarily due to the geographic mix of increased pre-tax earnings as a result of the sale of the AVS product line recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Additionally, benefits recorded from adjustments to provisional amounts recorded as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act resulted
in a lower effective tax rate in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
The income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 varies from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to 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, the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, and other permanent items. Further, the Company’s current and future provision for
income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.
17. iNet Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.
Basic
net income or loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income or loss per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed using the treasury stock method by dividing diluted net income or 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.

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 $i150,000
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, 2019, the Company had approximately $i98,720 of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program.

2018 Repurchases
In June 2018, the Company entered into an ASR agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase the Company’s common
stock. Under this ASR agreement, the Company made an up-front payment of $i35,000 and received an initial delivery of i207,193
shares in the second quarter of 2018. The ASR was completed in the third quarter of 2018 when the Company received an additional i51,092 shares. A total of i258,285
shares were repurchased at a weighted average purchase price of $i135.51 per share.
In addition to the repurchase under this ASR agreement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Company repurchased i69,503
shares of its common stock at an average purchase price of $i122.64 per share, excluding commissions, for a total cost of $i8,524.
20. iShare-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 2019, the Company granted Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), Performance Units (“PUs”) and stock options. The RSUs cliff vest after three years, the PUs cliff vest at the end of their three-year performance period, and the stock options vest ratably over three years. The number of PUs that will vest depends on the Company’s achievement of target performance goals related to the Company’s return on invested capital (“ROIC”) and total shareholder return, which may range
from i0% to i200%
of the target award amount.

Note 4. “Divestiture.”
22. iCommitments 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, 2019, 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, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation was approximately $i4,703
and $i4,668, respectively. 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 be material, such costs may be material in the future.

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 85% of our sales in 2018 made directly to major OEMs. We operate our business along four segments: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America.
During the first quarter of 2019 and in prior periods, the Company also operated an anti-vibration systems business. On April 1, 2019, we completed the divestiture of the anti-vibration systems business.
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 North America, general economic conditions have been strong and relatively stable since 2018. Led by the United States, economic growth in the region is expected to continue through the remainder of 2019, albeit at a more modest rate than last year. Consumer confidence, employment and inflation remain at healthy levels. Continued uncertainty regarding global trade relationships and Federal Reserve interest rate policies, among other factors, could dampen economic momentum, while positive developments in these areas could be a positive catalyst. In Canada
and Mexico, economic growth has slowed but is expected to remain positive for the full year in 2019. The mix of vehicles produced and sold in North America continues to shift away from passenger cars in favor of crossover utility vehicles and light trucks.
In Europe, economic momentum slowed in the second half of 2018, and the underlying issues and uncertainties responsible for the slowdown have carried over into the first three quarters of 2019. Geopolitical concerns, the implementation of new environmental regulations in the automotive industry and the slowing of economic conditions within key trading partner countries have weighed on consumer confidence and industrial investment. The continuation of global trade tensions, financial pressures within some of the key European Union member countries and the United Kingdom’s pending separation from the European Union (“Brexit”) will continue to create a high level of uncertainty
and challenge the regional economic outlook for the remainder of 2019 and into 2020.
In Asia Pacific, China’s economic growth rate has slowed to its lowest pace in nearly three decades. Rising debt, higher interest rates, inflation and uncertainty continue to pressure domestic consumption, while on-going tension within U.S.-China trade relationships is impacting exports. Despite the Chinese government’s recent announcements of a series of tax cuts and planned increases in infrastructure spending, there remains uncertainty related to economic growth in the remainder of 2019 and into 2020.
In South America, the Brazilian economy has regained some momentum following a slight contraction in the first quarter of 2019. At the end of the third quarter, both the manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) and consumer confidence reached their highest levels of the year. However, lower
demand for exports from neighboring Argentina and continued trade tensions globally will likely suppress economic growth in the near term. We remain cautious for the mid to long-term outlook given the long history of political instability and economic volatility in the region.
31
Raw Materials
Our business is susceptible to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials which may place operational and profitability burdens on the entire supply chain. Costs related to raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and oil and oil-derived commodities, continue to be volatile. In addition, we continue to expect commodity cost volatility to have an impact on future earnings and operating cash flows. As such, on
an ongoing basis, we work with our customers and suppliers to mitigate both inflationary pressures and our material-related cost exposures.
Production Levels
Our business is directly affected by the automotive vehicle production rates in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. New vehicle demand is driven by macroeconomic and other factors, such as interest rates, manufacturer and dealer sales incentives, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment levels, income growth trends and government and tax incentives. The industry could face uncertainties that may adversely impact consumer demand for vehicles as well as the future production environment.
Light vehicle production in certain regions for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

Production
data based on IHS Automotive, October 2019.
In North America, total vehicle production decreased slightly compared to 2018. Continuing recent trends in consumer demand, production of passenger cars declined while production of sport utility vehicles and crossover vehicles increased. We expect these trends to continue in North America throughout the remainder of 2019. In addition, delayed ramp up of key vehicle platforms at certain customers and the United Auto Workers (“UAW”) work stoppage against General Motors, our second largest customer, impacted vehicle production volumes in the region.
European and Asia Pacific light vehicle production declined overall during the year. These changes reflect consumer demand and geopolitical instability, including uncertainty around tariffs and global trade relations in
both regions and Brexit uncertainty in Europe. Accordingly, we remain cautious on the impact through the remainder of the year and into 2020.
** Includes the net impact of acquisitions and divestiture
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 50% and 51% of total cost of products sold for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The change in the cost of products sold was driven by continuous improvement and lean manufacturing,
the sale of our anti-vibration systems (“AVS”) product line, restructuring savings, and material cost reductions. These items were partially offset by vehicle production volume and mix including the delayed ramp up of certain customers key vehicle platforms and the UAW work stoppage against General Motors, commodity price fluctuations, foreign exchange, tariffs and wage inflation.
Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2019decreased$49.9 million or 41.7% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was driven by vehicle production volume and mix, including
the delayed ramp up of certain customers key vehicle platforms and the UAW work stoppage against General Motors, commercial settlements in China, commodity price inflation and foreign exchange pressures, tariffs, and wage inflation. These items were partially offset by net favorable operational performance and acquisitions.
Selling, Administration and Engineering Expense. Selling, administration and engineering expense includes administrative expenses as well as product engineering and design and development costs. Sales, administration and engineering expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 8.6% of sales compared to 9.5% for the three months ended September
30, 2018. The decrease was driven by savings generated from lower compensation-related expenses and salaried employee initiatives, partially offset by general inflation.
Gain on Sale of Business. The gain on sale of business for the three months ended September 30, 2019 included a $1.7 million adjustment, decreasing the amount of the gain recognized on the second quarter sale of the AVS business, primarily due to working capital adjustments.
Restructuring. Restructuring charges for the three months ended September 30, 2019increased$2.9 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was driven by higher restructuring charges in North America and Europe.
Impairment Charges. Non-cash impairment charges of $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to tooling machinery and equipment were recorded due to the termination of certain customer programs in the Asia Pacific region.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019increased$0.4 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to higher outstanding debt balances.
34
Other Expense, Net.Other expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019decreased$1.2 million compared to the three months ended September
30, 2018 primarily due to lower foreign currency losses.
Income Tax Benefit. Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.6 million on losses before income taxes of $16.2 million. This compares to an income tax benefit of $1.2 million on earnings before income taxes of $31.5 million for the same period of 2018. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2018 differed primarily due to the geographic mix of increased pre-tax earnings and the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, benefits recorded from adjustments to provisional amounts recorded as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act resulted in a lower effective tax rate in the three months ended September 30, 2018.
** Includes the net impact of acquisitions and divestiture
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 51% of total cost of products sold for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The change in the cost of products sold was driven by continuous improvement and lean manufacturing, the sale of our AVS product line, restructuring savings,
and material cost reductions. These items were partially offset by vehicle production volume and mix including the delayed ramp up of certain customers key vehicle platforms and the UAW work stoppage against General Motors, commodity price fluctuations, foreign exchange, tariffs and wage inflation.
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2019decreased35.5% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease was driven by vehicle production volume and mix including the delayed ramp up of certain customers key vehicle platforms and the UAW work stoppage against General Motors, commercial settlements in China, commodity
price inflation and foreign exchange pressures, tariffs and wage inflation. These items were partially offset by net favorable operational performance and acquisitions.
Selling, Administration and Engineering Expense. Selling, administration and engineering expense includes administrative expenses as well as product engineering and design and development costs. Sales, administration and engineering expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was 9.4% of sales compared to 8.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase in rate was primarily due to lower sales. The decrease in expense was primarily
due to savings generated from salaried employee initiatives and lower compensation-related expenses, partially offset by divestiture-related expenses for our AVS business and general inflation.
35
Gain on Sale of Business. Gain on sale of business of $188.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to the sale of our AVS product line within our North America, Europe and Asia Pacific segments.We completed the sale to Continental AG on April 1, 2019.
Restructuring.
Restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2019increased$9.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was driven by higher restructuring charges in North America primarily related to salaried employee initiatives and in Asia Pacific mainly due to footprint rationalization.
Impairment Charges. Non-cash impairment charges of $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 related to machinery and equipment
were recorded due to the continuing adverse financial results in certain Asia Pacific locations and the termination of certain customer programs in the Asia Pacific region.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019increased$4.1 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to higher outstanding debt balances.
Other Expense, Net.Other expense for the nine months ended September
30, 2019decreased$0.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to lower foreign currency losses and losses on sale of receivables, partially offset by higher benefit related costs.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $46.0 million on earnings before income taxes of $171.5 million. This compares to income tax expense of $19.8 million on earnings before income taxes of $153.1
million for the same period of 2018. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 differed primarily due to the geographic mix of increased pre-tax earnings as a result of the sale of the AVS product line and the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, benefits recorded from adjustments to provisional amounts recorded as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act resulted in a lower effective tax rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Segment
Results of Operations
The Company operates in four reportable segments: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. Consistent with how management assesses performance of the segments, effective January 1, 2019, we changed the measurement of our segments to adjusted EBITDA. We have defined adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, restructuring expense, and special items. The results of each segment include certain allocations for general, administrative, interest, and other shared costs.
The following tables present sales and segment adjusted EBITDA for each of the reportable segments.
The impact of foreign currency exchange primarily relates to the Euro and the Chinese Renminbi.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Short and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks
We intend to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements through a combination of cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our senior asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) and receivables factoring. The Company utilizes intercompany loans and equity contributions to fund its worldwide operations. There may be country-specific regulations which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. See Note 11. “Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.
Based
on our current and anticipated levels of operations and the conditions in our markets and industry, we believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our ABL Facility and receivables factoring will enable us to meet our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements for the next twelve months. 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 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 and other factors.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Net cash provided
by operations was $29.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by operations of $78.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The lower inflow was primarily due to decreased cash earnings and timing of customer payments, partially offset by changes in accrued liabilities.
Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $113.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2019, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $250.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Cash provided by investing activities consisted primarily of gross proceeds of $243.4 million from the sale of our AVS product line, partially offset by capital spending of $131.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $165 million to $175 million on capital expenditures in 2019.
38
Financing
Activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $78.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $57.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change was primarily due to the repayment of our revolving credit facility and local borrowing lines. Cash used for share repurchases was $36.6 million and $43.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019
and 2018, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program
In June 2018, our Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program (the “2018 Program”) authorizing us to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Under the 2018 Program, repurchases may be made on the open market, through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, as determined by us and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations. We expect to fund any future repurchases from cash on hand and future cash flows from operations. The specific timing and amount of any future repurchase will vary
based on market and business conditions and other factors. We are not obligated to acquire a particular amount of securities, and the 2018 Program may be discontinued at any time at our discretion. As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately $98.7 million of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program.
2019 Repurchases
In May 2019, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase our common stock pursuant to the 2018 Program. Under the ASR agreement, we made an up-front payment of $30.0 million and received an initial delivery of 626,305 shares of our common
stock in the second quarter of 2019. The repurchase was completed in the third quarter of 2019 when we received final delivery of an additional 72,875 shares. A total of 699,180 shares were repurchased at a weighted average purchase price of $42.91 per share.
In addition to the repurchase under the ASR agreement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we utilized $5.9 million of cash on hand to repurchase 85,000 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $69.85 per share.
2018 Repurchases
In
June 2018, we entered into an accelerated repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase our common stock. Under this ASR agreement, we made an up-front payment of $35.0 million and received an initial delivery of 207,193 shares in the second quarter of 2018. The ASR was completed in the third quarter of 2018 when we received an additional 51,092 shares. A total of 258,285 shares were repurchased at a weighted average purchase price of $135.51 per share.
In addition to the repurchase under this ASR agreement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we
repurchased 69,503 shares of our common stock at an average purchase price of $122.64 per share, excluding commissions, for a total cost of $8.5 million.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key indicators of our operating performance. Our management also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
•
because similar measures are utilized in the calculation of
the financial covenants and ratios contained in our financing arrangements;
•
in developing our internal budgets and forecasts;
•
as a significant factor in evaluating our management for compensation purposes;
•
in evaluating potential acquisitions;
•
in
comparing our current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry; and
•
in presentations to the members of our board of directors to enable our board of directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in their assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company.
In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating our performance. We
define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net of interest income, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA, as adjusted for items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-cash fair value adjustments and acquisition-related costs.
39
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 and Senior 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 income (loss), which is the most comparable financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

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. Our use of words “estimate,”“expect,”“anticipate,”“project,”“plan,”“intend,”“believe,”“outlook”, “guidance”, “forecast,” or future or conditional verbs,
such as “will,”“should,”“could,”“would,” or “may,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements 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, we cannot assure you 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. Among other items, such factors may include: prolonged or material contractions in automotive sales and production volumes; our inability to realize sales represented by awarded
business; escalating pricing pressures; loss of large customers or significant platforms; our ability to successfully compete in the automotive parts industry; availability and increasing volatility in costs of manufactured components and raw materials; disruption in our supply base; competitive threats and commercial risks associated with us entering new markets; possible variability of our working capital requirements; risks associated with our international operations, including changes in laws, regulations, and policies governing the terms of foreign trade such as increased trade restrictions and tariffs; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; our ability to control the operations of our joint ventures for our sole benefit; our substantial amount of indebtedness; our ability to obtain adequate financing sources in the future; operating and financial restrictions imposed on us under our debt instruments; the underfunding of our pension plans; significant changes
in discount rates and the actual return on pension assets; effectiveness of continuous improvement programs and other cost savings plans; manufacturing facility closings or consolidation; our ability to execute new program launches; our ability to meet customers’ needs for new and improved products; the possibility that our acquisitions and divestitures may not be successful; product liability, warranty and recall claims brought against us; laws and regulations, including environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; legal proceedings, claims or investigations against us; work stoppages or other labor disruptions; the ability of our intellectual property to withstand legal challenges; cyber-attacks, other disruptions in, or the inability to implement upgrades to, our information technology systems; the possible volatility of our annual effective tax rate; changes in our assumptions as a result of IRS issuing guidance on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act; the possibility
of future impairment charges to our goodwill and long-lived assets; and our dependence on our subsidiaries for cash to satisfy our obligations.
You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to publicly update or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except where we are expressly required to do so by law.
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q also contains estimates and other information that is based on industry publications, surveys, and forecasts. This information involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and we have not independently verified the accuracy
or completeness of the information.

Item 4. Controls
and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting
during the quarter ended September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
