Act, reflecting management’s current analysis and expectations, based on what are believed to be reasonable
assumptions. 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.  Forward-looking statements may involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, stated or implied,
depending on many factors, including, without limitation: our dependence on the automotive industry; further restructuring
of our customers; availability and cost of raw materials; pricing pressures and volume requirements of our customers; the
ability to meet significant increase in customer demand; increased costs negatively impacting our profitability; competition
in the automotive industry; sovereign and other risks related to our conducting operations outside the United States;
foreign currency fluctuations; our ability to achieve benefits from our joint venture operations not operated for our sole
benefit; our exposure to the uncertainty of political disruptions and increased violence in Mexico; the uncertainty of our
ability to achieve expected cost reduction savings; our dependence on certain major customers and platforms; our
exposure to product liability and warranty claims; labor conditions; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; our ability
to meet customers’ needs for new and improved products in a timely manner; our ability to select and integrate attractive
business acquisitions; our legal rights to our intellectual property portfolio; environmental and other regulations; the
outcome of legal proceedings the Company is or may become party to; volatility in our expected annual effective tax rate; 
impact of our capital structure on our financial condition and ability to obtain financing in the future; our ability to generate
cash to meet our debt and other cash obligations; our pension plans; any impairment of a significant amount of our
goodwill or other intangible asset; potential conflicts of interest between our owners and us; limitations on flexibility in
operating our business contained in our debt agreements; our exposure to natural disasters; and other risks described
from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings.  There may be other factors that may
cause the company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statement. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that Cooper Standard will meet future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by such forward-looking statements. This paragraph is included to provide a safe harbor for forward-looking
statements, which are not generally required to be publicly revised as circumstances change and which Cooper Standard
does not intend to update.  The forward-looking statements in this presentation are made as of the date hereof, and the
Company does not assume any obligation to update, amend or clarify them to reflect events, new information or
circumstances occurring after the date hereof.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
24
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are measures not recognized under Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) which exclude certain non-cash and
non-recurring items. 
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.
