COOPER STANDARD REVENUE UP 40 PERCENT IN SECOND QUARTER

NOVI, Mich., August 17, 2010 – Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc., the parent company of Cooper Standard Automotive Inc., today announced strong sales and earnings for the second quarter of 2010.

Cooper Standard reported sales for the second quarter of $628.4 million, an increase of 40 percent over the second quarter of 2009. The company posted year-to-date sales of $1.22 billion compared to $0.85 billion for the first half of 2009.

The company posted net income for the quarter of $637.8 million compared to a net loss of $349.3 million in the previous year. Both years were impacted by significant accounting adjustments. In the second quarter of 2010, the company benefited from one-time gains, including cancellation of debt income, resulting from its reorganization proceedings, and in the second quarter of 2009, the company recorded significant impairment charges relating to intangible assets.

Cooper Standard reported its fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit adjusted EBITDA margins. The company’s adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 was $73.8 million, an increase of $42.1 million from the second quarter in 2009. Year-to-date, adjusted EBITDA increased to $147.5 million, up $100.4 million from the same period in the prior year.

“Cooper Standard’s improved cost structure, available liquidity and global footprint have positioned us for future success in a rapidly evolving automotive industry,” said Jim McElya, chairman and CEO, Cooper Standard.

Key Launches

During this quarter, Cooper Standard successfully launched production in all product groups across all regions including:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are measures not recognized under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) which exclude certain non-cash and non-recurring items. A table reconciling net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 is presented below.

Management considers EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as key indicators of the company’s operating performance. In addition, management believes EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the company’s performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) plus provision for income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net of interest income, depreciation and amortization of EBITDA, as adjusted for items that management does not consider to be reflective of the company’s core operating performance.

When analyzing the company’s 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 GAAP, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of the company’s performance. EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of the company’s results of operations as reported under GAAP. Other companies may report EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA differently and therefore Cooper Standard’s results may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, in evaluating adjusted EBITDA, it should be noted that in the future Cooper Standard may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the above presentation. This presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that Cooper Standard’s future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
