Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. reported its third quarter 2025 results on October 30, 2025, highlighting continued year-over-year margin expansion and improved cash flow. Sales increased by 1.5% in Q3 2025 to $695.5 million, primarily driven by favorable foreign exchange and favorable volume and mix, partially offset by customer price adjustments.

Net loss for the third quarter was $7.6 million, an improvement from a net loss of $11.1 million in Q3 2024. Adjusted net loss was $4.4 million, compared to an adjusted net loss of $12.0 million in the prior year, driven by increased manufacturing and purchasing efficiency and favorable foreign exchange.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2025 increased to $53.3 million from $46.1 million in Q3 2024. Cash provided by operating activities was $38.6 million, an increase of $10.8 million year-over-year, and free cash flow was $27.4 million, an increase of $10.5 million. The company secured $96.4 million in net new business awards during the quarter, bringing the year-to-date total to $228.5 million, primarily on battery-electric and hybrid vehicle platforms.

Following strong results in the first nine months, Cooper Standard adjusted its full-year 2025 guidance to reflect an estimated $25 million lost profit due to temporary customer production cuts stemming from supply chain and other market disruptions in the fourth quarter. The revised sales guidance is $2.68 billion to $2.72 billion, and Adjusted EBITDA guidance is $200 million to $210 million.
