Cooper Standard Highlights Continued Strong New Business Awards in the Third Quarter of 2026
Cooper Standard posted Q3 2026 sales of $708.6 million, up 1.9% YoY, but swung to a GAAP net loss of $20.4 million ($(1.13) per diluted share) versus a $7.6 million loss a year ago, driven by $19.2 million of restructuring charges.

The company booked $148.8 million in net new business awards in the quarter, including $28.2 million tied to battery electric or full-hybrid platforms, bringing nine-month awards to $395.1 million.

Cooper Standard Adopts Tax Benefits Preservation Plan to Protect its Tax Benefits and Shareholder Value
Cooper Standard's board adopted a tax benefits preservation plan (a Section 382 rights plan) to protect approximately $215 million of estimated U.S. tax attributes as of September 30, 2026.
The plan deters any person from acquiring 4.9% or more of outstanding shares without board approval, since such ownership shifts could trigger an 'ownership change' that substantially limits or delays use of the company's NOL carryforwards.
If triggered, holders other than the acquiring person can buy shares at a 50% discount; the rights expire November 1, 2029, or earlier upon redemption, exchange, or stockholder ratification deadlines.
