1. Overview

Basis of presentation

Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company,” “Cooper-Standard,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc., is a leading manufacturer of sealing, fuel and brake delivery, fluid transfer and anti-vibration systems components, subsystems, and modules. The Company’s products are primarily for use in passenger vehicles and light trucks that are manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and replacement markets. The Company conducts substantially all of its activities through its subsidiaries.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (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, 2014 (the "2014 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 March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, Interest: Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements from an asset to a direct deduction from the related debt liability. This guidance is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This ASU amends the consolidation guidance under U.S. GAAP. This guidance is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-01, Income Statement: Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. This ASU eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from U.S. GAAP. The guidance is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements: Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. This guidance is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of this guidance is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is currently effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 (although in April 2015 the FASB proposed delaying the effective date of this ASU to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017). Early adoption is not permitted. The guidance allows for companies to use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach when adopting. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This ASU changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and requires expanded disclosures about discontinued

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

operations. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2015. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Acquisitions

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company acquired the remaining equity interests of Metzler Automotive Profiles India Private Limited (26%) and Cooper Standard Jingda Changchun Automotive Co., Ltd. (20%) for a combined cash consideration of $1,262. These acquisitions were accounted for as equity transactions in accordance with ASC Topic 810 "Consolidations."

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of an additional 47.5% of Huayu-Cooper Standard Sealing Systems Co. ("Shenya") for cash consideration of $59,320, with the final payment of $9,954 made in the second quarter of 2015. The Company now owns 95% of Shenya. The business acquired in the transaction is operated from Shenya’s manufacturing locations in China. Shenya primarily supplies sealing systems and components to the automotive industry. This acquisition is directly aligned with the Company’s growth strategy by strengthening important customer relationships in the automotive sealing systems market. This acquisition was accounted for under ASC 805, “Business Combinations,” and the results of operations of Shenya are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition, February 27, 2015. This acquisition does not meet the thresholds for a significant acquisition and therefore no pro forma financial information is presented.

Prior to the acquisition, the Company held a 47.5% unconsolidated equity interest in Shenya. The fair value of the equity interest prior to the date of acquisition was $41,378, resulting in a gain of $11,622 recorded in other income, net for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The fair value of the Company's previous 47.5% equity interest, 47.5% purchased and 5% noncontrolling interest in Shenya were estimated using income and market approaches based on financial analysis methodologies (including the discounted cash flow analysis), projected financial information, management's estimates, available information, and reasonable and supportable assumptions. These fair value measurements are classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of Shenya assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:



Cash and cash equivalents	$	7,079
Accounts receivable	24,197
Inventories	13,772
Prepaid expenses	13,045
Other current assets	21,189
Property, plant, and equipment	79,869
Goodwill	16,628
Intangibles	12,299
Other assets	14,200
Total assets acquired	202,278
Debt payable within one year	19,164
Accounts payable	41,059
Other current liabilities	16,950
Other liabilities	13,256
Total liabilities assumed	90,429
Noncontrolling interest	11,368
Net assets acquired including noncontrolling interest	$	100,481

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, and other current liabilities were stated at historical carrying values which management believes approximates fair value given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. Inventories were recorded at fair value which is estimated for finished goods and work-in-process based upon the expected selling price less costs to complete, selling, and disposal costs, and a normal profit to the buyer. Raw material inventory was recorded at carrying value as such value approximates the replacement cost. Deferred income taxes have been provided in the condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the Company's estimates of the tax versus book basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, adjusted to estimated fair values. The Company has estimated the fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangibles, other long-lived assets and noncontrolling interest based upon financial estimates and projections prepared in conjunction with the transaction. These estimates are preliminary and may change in the future as

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

information becomes available from third party valuations. The value assigned to all assets and liabilities did not exceed the acquisition price, therefore goodwill and intangibles were recorded related to this transaction as of March 31, 2015.

3. Goodwill and Intangibles

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable operating segment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are summarized as follows:



	North America			Europe			South America		Asia Pacific		Total
Balance at January 1, 2015	$	117,609		$	12,366		$	—	$	5,194	$	135,169
Acquisition	—			—			—		16,628		16,628
Foreign exchange translation	(497		)	(1,422		)	—		159		(1,760		)
Balance at March 31, 2015	$	117,112		$	10,944		$	—	$	21,981	$	150,037

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment by reporting unit either annually or when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist. There were no indicators of potential impairment as of March 31, 2015.

The following table presents intangible assets and accumulated amortization balances of the Company as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, respectively:



	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Customer relationships	$	133,471	$	(59,773	)	$	73,698
Developed technology	9,252		(6,842		)	2,410
Other	6,701		(500		)	6,201
Balance at December 31, 2014	$	149,424	$	(67,115	)	$	82,309

Balance at March 31, 2015	$	161,326	$	(72,631	)	$	88,695

Amortization expense totaled $4,436 and $3,548 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Amortization expense is estimated to be approximately $14,666 for the year ending December 31, 2015.

4. Restructuring

European Initiative

The Company has implemented a restructuring initiative of certain facilities in Europe based on current and anticipated market demands. The estimated cost of this initiative is approximately $125,000 and is expected to be completed by 2017. The company has recognized $18,374 of costs related to this initiative. The restructuring effort aims to further improve the Company's European capability by removing excess capacity, improving cost structure and shifting some production to its Eastern European facilities. Actions include consolidation of operations to improve efficiencies and closure or downsizing of certain facilities with high costs and unutilized capacity in Western Europe, including Germany and France. A previous European restructuring initiative has been combined with this new initiative. The following table summarizes the restructuring expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2015
Employee separation costs	$	—	$	14,004
Other exit costs	2,431		4,370
	$	2,431	$	18,374

Balance at March 31, 2015	$	22,451		$	1,266		$	—	$	23,717

North America Initiative

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company initiated the restructure of a facility in North America. The estimated cost of this initiative is $8,500 and is expected to be completed in 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company has recorded $417 of other exit costs related to this initiative. As of March 31, 2015, there was no liability associated with this initiative.

Other Initiatives

The Company implemented several restructuring initiatives in prior years including the closure or consolidation of facilities throughout the world, the establishment of a centralized shared services function in Europe and the reorganization of the Company's operating structure. These initiatives are substantially complete, however, the Company continues to incur costs on some of these initiatives related principally to the disposal of the respective facilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded $242 of employee separation costs and $416 of other exit costs related to these initiatives. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded $49 of employee separation costs related to these initiatives. As of March 31, 2015, there was a liability of $12 associated with these initiatives.

5. Inventories

Senior ABL Facility

On April 8, 2013, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Amended and Restated Senior Loan and Security Agreement (the “Amended Senior ABL Facility”), with certain lenders, which amended and restated the then existing senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility of the Company, dated May 27, 2010. The Amended Senior ABL Facility provided for an aggregate revolving loan availability of up to $150,000, subject to borrowing base availability.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(Continued)

(Unaudited)

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

On April 4, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the "Senior ABL Facility"), which amended and restated the Amended Senior ABL Facility, in order to permit the Term Loan Facility (described below) and other related transactions. The Senior ABL Facility provided for an aggregate revolving loan availability of up to $150,000, subject to borrowing base availability, including a $60,000 letter of credit sub-facility and the same $25,000 swing line sub-facility. The Senior ABL Facility also provided for an uncommitted $105,000 incremental loan facility, for a potential total Senior ABL Facility of $255,000 (if requested by the Company and one or more new or existing lenders agreed to fund such increase).

On June 11, 2014, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Senior ABL Facility, which increased the aggregate revolving loan availability to $180,000, subject to borrowing base availability, principally by expanding a tooling receivable category of eligible borrowing base availability for the U.S. borrower and Canadian borrower. The Senior ABL Facility, as amended, also now provides for an uncommitted $75,000 incremental loan facility, for a potential total Senior ABL Facility of $255,000 (if requested by the Company and one or more new or existing lenders agreed to fund such increase). No consent of any lender (other than those participating in the increase) is required to effect any such increase. As of March 31, 2015, subject to borrowing base availability, the Company had $180,000 in availability under the Senior ABL Facility supporting outstanding letters of credit of $35,576.

Term Loan Facility

On April 4, 2014, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) in order to (i) refinance the Senior PIK Toggle Notes due 2018 of the Company (the "Senior PIK Toggle Notes") and the 8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2018 of Cooper-Standard Automotive Inc. (the "Senior Notes"), including applicable call premiums and accrued and unpaid interest, (ii) pay related fees and expenses and (iii) provide for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Term Loan Facility provides for loans in an aggregate principal amount of $750,000 and may be expanded (or a new term loan facility added) by an amount that will not cause the consolidated first lien debt ratio to exceed 2.25 to 1.00 plus $300,000. All obligations of the borrower are guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by the direct parent company of the borrower and each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of the borrower. The obligations are secured by amongst other items (a) a first priority security interest (subject to permitted liens and other customary exceptions) on (i) all the capital stock in restricted subsidiaries directly held by the borrower and each of the guarantors, (ii) substantially all plant, material owned real property located in the U.S. and equipment of the borrower and the guarantors and (iii) all other personal property of the borrower and the guarantors, and (b) a second priority security interest (subject to permitted liens and other customary exceptions) in accounts receivable of the borrowers and the guarantors arising from the sale of goods and services, inventory, excluding certain collateral and subject to certain limitations. Loans under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, LIBOR, subject to a 1.00% LIBOR Floor or the base rate option (the highest of the Federal Funds rate, prime rate, or one-month Eurodollar rate plus the appropriate spread), in each case, plus an applicable margin of 3.00%. The Term Loan Facility matures on April 4, 2021. On April 4, 2014, the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 was fully drawn. As of March 31, 2015, the principal amount of $744,375 was outstanding. Debt issuance costs of approximately $7,900 were incurred on this transaction, along with the original issue discount of $3,750. Both the debt issuance costs and the original issue discount will be amortized into interest expense over the term of the Term Loan Facility. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had $3,214 of unamortized original issue discount.

8. Income Taxes

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

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was 41% as compared to 36% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 is higher as a result of losses due to restructuring in foreign jurisdictions where we did not record a tax benefit due to valuation allowances offset by a discrete benefit on the remeasurement of the Company's investment in Shenya. The income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 varies from statutory rates due to income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories of income, a discrete benefit on the remeasurement of the Company's investment in Shenya, tax credits, income tax incentives, withholding taxes, and other permanent items. Further, the Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the recognition of valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

10. Net Income Per Share Attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc.

Basic net income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed by dividing net income attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period excluding unvested restricted shares. Diluted net income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. was computed using the treasury stock method by dividing diluted net income 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.

A summary of information used to compute basic and diluted net income per share attributable to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. is shown below:

14. Business Segments

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes the standards for reporting information about operating segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company has determined that it operates in four reportable segments, North America, Europe, South America and Asia Pacific. The Company’s principal product lines within each of these segments are sealing systems, fuel and brake delivery systems, fluid transfer systems, and anti-vibration systems. The Company evaluates segment performance based on segment profit before tax. The results of each segment include certain allocations for general, administrative, interest, and other shared costs.

The following tables detail information on the Company’s business segments:

15. Financial Instruments

Fair values of the Term Loan Facility approximated $723,401 and $737,455 at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, respectively, based on quoted market prices, compared to the recorded value of $742,902 and $741,161 at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, respectively. This fair value measurement was classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

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

The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the cash flow hedges. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. 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 enters into forward contracts to hedge currency risk of the U.S. Dollar against the Mexican Peso and Canadian Dollar and the Euro against the Czech Koruna, the Polish Zloty, and the U.S. Dollar. The forward contracts are used to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flow arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. As of March 31, 2015, the notional amount of these contracts was $44,365. The amount reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into cost of products sold was $168 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. These foreign currency derivative contracts consist of hedges of transactions up to December 2015.

Interest Rate Swap - In August 2014, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to manage cash flow variability associated with its variable rate Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swap contracts, which fix the interest payments of variable rate debt instruments, are used to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of March 31, 2015, the notional amount of these contracts was $300,000 with maturities through September 2018. The fair market value of all outstanding interest rate swap and other derivative contracts is subject to changes in value due to changes in interest rates. The amount to be reclassified in the next twelve months is expected to be approximately $1,519.

Fair Value Measurements

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



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

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

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

Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The Company also considers the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair value, and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. In certain instances where market data is not available, the Company uses management judgment to develop assumptions that are used to determine fair value. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, are shown below:



	December 31, 2014			March 31, 2015			Input
Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets	$	370		$	928		Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities	(1,999		)	(1,435		)	Level 2
Interest rate swaps - other current assets	—			26			Level 2
Interest rate swaps - other assets	19			80			Level 2
Interest rate swaps - other current liabilities	(751		)	(1,545		)	Level 2
Interest rate swaps - other liabilities	(903		)	(2,439		)	Level 2

Items measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these non-recurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For further information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, see Note 2. "Acquisitions" and Note 4. “Restructuring.”

16. Accounts Receivable Factoring

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

At December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, the Company had $95,951 and $72,763, respectively, outstanding under receivable transfer agreements without recourse entered into by various locations. The total amount of accounts receivable factored were $139,130 and $79,799 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Costs incurred on the sale of receivables were $798 and $631 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. These amounts are recorded in other income, net and interest expense, net of interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

At December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, the Company had $8,292 and $4,833, respectively, outstanding under receivable transfer agreements with recourse. The secured borrowings are recorded in debt payable within one year and receivables are pledged equal to the balance of the borrowings. The total amount of accounts receivable factored was $15,695 and $7,918 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Costs incurred on the sale of receivables were $92 and $48 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. These amounts are recorded in other income, net and interest expense, net of interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

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

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations presents information related to the condensed consolidated results of operations of the Company, including the impact of restructuring costs on the Company’s results, a discussion of the past results and future outlook of each of the Company’s segments, and information concerning both the liquidity and capital resources of the Company. The following discussion and analysis, which should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes included elsewhere in this report, contains certain forward-looking statements relating to anticipated future financial condition and operating results of the Company and its current business plans. In the future, the financial condition and operating results of the Company could differ materially from those discussed herein and its current business plans could be altered in response to market conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences or changes include those discussed elsewhere in this report (see “Forward-Looking Statements” below) and in our 2014 Annual Report (see Item 1A. Risk Factors).

Business Environment and Outlook

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

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

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

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

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

Sales. Sales were $800.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $837.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $37.5 million, or 4.5%. Sales were impacted by unfavorable foreign exchange of $77.0 million, decreased volumes in North America and South America and customer price concessions. These items were partially offset by increased volumes in Europe and Asia Pacific and our Shenya acquisition.

Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of material, labor, manufacturing overhead, depreciation and amortization and other direct operating expenses. Cost of products sold was $669.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $703.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $34.1 million, or 4.8%. Raw materials comprise the largest component of our cost of products sold and represented approximately 49% and 50% of total cost of products sold for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The three months ended March 31, 2015 was impacted by decreased volumes in North America and South America and continuous improvement savings. These items were partially offset by increased volumes in Europe and Asia Pacific and our Shenya acquisition.

Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $130.9 million compared to $134.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 2.5%. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 16.0% and 16.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin was driven primarily by increased continuous improvement and material cost savings and increased volumes in Europe and Asia Pacific.

These items were partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange and decreased volumes in North America and South America.

Selling, Administration and Engineering. Selling, administration and engineering expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $76.3 million, compared to $79.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, but remained flat at 9.5% of sales.

Restructuring. Restructuring charges were $18.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to expenses incurred related to our recently announced European restructuring initiative.

Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense of $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 resulted primarily from interest and debt issuance amortization recorded on the Term Loan Facility. Net interest expense of $15.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted primarily of interest and debt issuance amortization recorded on the Senior Notes and Senior PIK Toggle Notes.

Other Income, Net. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $11.1 million, which consisted of the gain from the remeasurement of previously held equity interest in Shenya of $11.6 million, partially offset by $0.5 million for foreign currency losses and a loss on sale of receivables. Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 consisted primarily of foreign currency gains of $0.5 million and loss on sale of receivables of $0.5 million.

Income Tax Expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recorded an income tax expense of $14.7 million on earnings before income taxes of $35.9 million. This compares to an income tax expense of $12.1 million on earnings before income taxes of $33.4 million for the same period of 2014. The higher effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 is a result of losses due to restructuring in foreign jurisdictions where we cannot record a tax benefit due to valuation allowances offset by a discrete benefit on the remeasurement of the Company's investment in Shenya. The income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2015 varies from statutory rates due to income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates lower than the U.S. statutory rate, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories of income, a discrete benefit on the remeasurement of the Company's investment in Shenya, tax credits, income tax incentives, withholding taxes, and other permanent items. Further, the Company’s current and future provision for income taxes may be impacted by the recognition of valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2014

North America. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $15.2 million, or 3.5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange of $9.5 million, a decrease in sales volume, and customer price concessions. Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $4.6 million, primarily due to the favorable impact of continuous improvement and material cost savings, partially offset by decreased sales volume, unfavorable foreign exchange and customer price concessions.

Europe. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $41.3 million, or 13.4%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange of $58.8 million and customer price concessions, partially offset by an increase in sales volume. Segment loss increased by $1.3 million, primarily due to the unfavorable foreign exchange, higher staffing costs, and customer price concessions, partially offset by the gain from the remeasurement of a previously held equity interest in Shenya as the legal ownership was held by one of our Europe entities, continuous improvement and material cost savings and increased sales volume.

South America. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $9.6 million, or 24.1%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange of $7.3 million and a decrease in sales volume. Segment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased by $2.6 million, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange, decrease in sales volume and higher other operating expenses.

Asia Pacific. Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased $28.6 million, or 50.1%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to the Shenya acquisition which was completed February 27, 2015, and increased sales volume. Segment profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 increased $1.8 million, primarily due to increased sales volume, the Shenya acquisition and the favorable impact of continuous improvement and material cost savings, partially offset by customer price concessions and higher other operating expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks

We intend to fund our ongoing capital and working capital requirements through a combination of cash flows from operations, cash on hand and borrowings under our Senior ABL Facility, in addition to certain receivable factoring. 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 6. “Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Based on our current and anticipated levels of operations and the condition in our markets and industry, we believe that our cash on hand, cash flow from operations and availability under our Senior ABL Facility will enable us to meet our 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 Senior ABL Facility, depends on our future operating performance and cash flow and many factors outside of our control, including the costs of raw materials, the state of the overall automotive industry and financial and economic conditions and other factors. Any future acquisitions, joint ventures or other similar transactions will likely require additional capital and there can be no assurance that any such capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

Cash Flows

Operating Activities. Net cash used in operations was $9.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which included $50.0 million of cash used that related to changes in operating assets and liabilities. The use of cash related to operating assets and liabilities was primarily a result of increased accounts receivables and inventories, partially offset by increased accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Net cash provided by operations was $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which included $56.6 million of cash used that related to changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $73.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which consisted primarily of $51.3 million of capital spending and $24.4 million for the Shenya acquisition, offset by proceeds of $2.2 million for the sale of fixed assets and other. Net cash used in investing activities was $60.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which consisted primarily of $63.8 million of capital spending, offset by a $1.0 million return on equity investments and proceeds of $2.1 million from the sale of fixed assets and other. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $185.0 million to $200.0 million on capital expenditures in 2015.

Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, which consisted primarily of an increase in short term debt of $2.4 million, payments on long-term debt of $1.9 million and taxes withheld and paid on employees' share based awards of $1.0 million, and the the purchase of noncontrolling interests $1.3 million. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which consisted primarily of $4.6 million related to the exercise of stock warrants and increases in short and long-term debt of $2.3 million and $4.4 million, respectively, partially offset by taxes withheld and paid on employees' share based awards of $0.9 million and debt issuance costs of $0.7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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


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


•	in developing our internal budgets and forecasts;


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


•	in evaluating potential acquisitions;


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


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

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

We calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting net income (loss) to eliminate the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measurements recognized under U.S. GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as alternatives for, net income (loss), operating income, or any other performance measure

derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. These limitations include:


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


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


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


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


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


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

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

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

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws, and we intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbor created thereby. We make forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and may make such statements in future filings with the SEC. We may also make forward-looking statements in our press releases or other public or stockholder communications. These forward-looking statements include statements concerning our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenue or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions relating to acquisitions, business trends, and other information that is not historical information and, in particular, appear under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors,” and “Business Environment and Outlook.” When used in this report, the words “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “forecasts,” or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, management’s examination of historical operating trends and data are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs, and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, no assurances can be made that these expectations, beliefs, and projections will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or achievements to be materially different from the future results or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

The risks, uncertainties, and other important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this report include, among others: prolonged or material contractions in automotive sales and production volumes, the Company's liquidity, the viability of the Company's supply base and the financial conditions of the Company's customers; loss of large customers or significant platforms; foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations; the Company’s substantial indebtedness; the Company's ability to obtain financing in the future; ability to generate sufficient cash to service all of the Company's indebtedness; operating and financial restrictions imposed on the Company by the credit agreements governing the Company’s term loan and ABL facilities; underfunding of pension plans; availability and increasing volatility in costs of manufactured components and raw materials; escalating pricing pressures; the Company's ability to meet significant increases in demand; the Company's ability to successfully compete in the automotive parts industry; risks associated with the Company's non-U.S. operations; ability to control the operations of the Company's joint ventures for the Company’s sole benefit; effectiveness of continuous improvement programs and other cost savings plans; product liability, warranty and recall claims that may be brought against the Company; work stoppages or other labor conditions; natural disasters; ability to meet the Company's customers' needs for new and improved products on a timely or cost-effective basis; the possibility that the Company's acquisition strategy may not be successful; the ability of the Company's intellectual property portfolio to withstand legal challenges; a disruption in, or the inability to successfully implement upgrades to, the Company's information technology systems; compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and other laws and regulations; the volatility of the Company's annual effective tax rate; significant changes in discount rates and the actual return on pension assets and other factors; the possibility of future impairment charges to the Company's goodwill and long-lived assets; the concentration of stock ownership which may allow a few owners to exert significant control over the Company; stock volatility; and dependence on the Company's subsidiaries for cash to satisfy the obligations of the holding Company. See Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our 2014 Annual Report for additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties. There may be other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements.

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the quantitative and qualitative information about the Company’s market risk from those previously disclosed in the Company’s 2014 Annual Report.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company completed the purchase of Shenya and is currently integrating Shenya into its operations, compliance programs and internal control processes. As permitted by SEC rules and regulations, the Company has excluded Shenya from management's evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting as of March 31, 2015.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are periodically involved in claims, litigation and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. In addition, we conduct and monitor environmental investigations and remedial actions at certain locations. We accrue for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. As of March 31, 2015, management does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for our litigation claims and matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2014 Annual Report which could materially impact our business, financial condition or future results. Risks disclosed in the 2014 Annual Report are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may materially adversely impact our business, financial condition or operating results.

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

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

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



2015	Total Number of Shares Purchased⁽¹⁾	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet be Purchased Under the Program (in millions)
January 1 - January 31	100	$	54.74	—	$	40.2
February 1 - February 28	60	$	56.86	—	$	40.2
March 1 - March 31	18,493	$	53.64	—	$	40.2
Total	18,653	$	53.65	—	$	40.2


(1)	18,653 shares of common stock were deemed surrendered to the Company by participants in various benefit plans of the Company to satisfy the participants’ taxes related to vesting or delivery of time vesting restricted share units under those plans.
