Cooper Tire & Rubber Company Reports
Second Quarter 2020 Results

FINDLAY, Ohio, August 3, 2020 – Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (NYSE: CTB) today reported a second quarter 2020 net loss of $6 million, or diluted loss per share of $0.12, compared with net income of $9 million, or $0.18 diluted earnings per share, for the same period last year.

Second Quarter Highlights
Global unit volume decreased 27.5 percent compared to the second quarter of 2019.
The company increased market share in the United States.
In Asia, third-party unit sales increased 4.5 percent compared with the same period a year ago.
Net sales decreased 26.9 percent to $496 million.
Operating profit was $5 million, or 1.1 percent of net sales, compared to operating profit of $32 million, or 4.7 percent of net sales, in 2019
At the end of the second quarter, Cooper had $541 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents compared with $112 million in 2019 and $433 million at the end of the first quarter 2020.

“As anticipated, the global pandemic significantly impacted our results in the second quarter. However, our performance materially exceeded our expectations, and I want to thank our employees around the globe for stepping up during this challenging and unprecedented time,” said Cooper President & Chief Executive Officer Brad Hughes.

“As you know, Cooper came into this situation with a strong balance sheet and with momentum building from our strategic initiatives. We took early and decisive actions to help weather the coronavirus storm, and our teams seized opportunities to continue to build our business. As a result of their efforts, and the economic recovery that started to emerge later in the quarter, Cooper was able to generate significant free cash flow for the period and grow market share in the U.S. We believe this affirms the strength of the Cooper brand, and the value that our products deliver to consumers who are increasingly looking to buy high quality, affordable tires. We are excited that our strategic initiatives are improving our business even in challenging circumstances, and we are optimistic about the future.”

Second quarter net sales were $496 million compared with $679 million in the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of 26.9 percent. Second quarter net sales were negatively impacted by $187 million of lower unit volume and $7 million of unfavorable foreign currency impact, partially offset by $11 million of favorable price and mix. Operating profit was $5 million compared with operating profit of $32 million in the second quarter of 2019. Key drivers included $44 million of lower unit volume and $39 million of higher manufacturing costs, which were partially offset by $30 million of favorable raw material costs and $15 million of favorable price and mix. The quarter also included $7 million lower selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses and $4 million of lower other costs.

Cooper Q2 2020—2
Cooper's second quarter raw material index decreased 15.1 percent compared to the second quarter of 2019. The raw material index decreased 8.8 percent sequentially from 150.7 in the first quarter of 2020 to 137.4 in the second quarter of 2020.

The effective tax rate for the second quarter was 13.5 percent compared with 38.7 percent for the same period the prior year. The lower tax rate for the second quarter of 2020 was primarily driven by the lower level and mix of earnings among the company's different tax jurisdictions, as well as unbenefited losses in jurisdictions with valuation allowances. The tax rate for the second quarter of 2019 included $2 million of discrete items related to the accrual of additional uncertain tax positions pertaining to previous years. The effective tax rate is based on forecasted annual earnings and tax rates for the various jurisdictions in which the company operates.
At the end of the second quarter, Cooper had $541 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents compared with $112 million at the end of the second quarter of 2019, and $433 million at the end of the first quarter of this year. As a reminder, during the first quarter of 2020, the company drew down $270 million on its revolving credit facilities. No new net borrowing occurred in the second quarter. The improvement in cash was primarily driven by the company’s actions to reduce working capital, capital expenditures and discretionary spending.
Capital expenditures in the second quarter were $17 million, compared with $45 million, in the same period a year ago. Second quarter SG&A expenses decreased 10.6 percent compared to the second quarter of 2019. In 2020, the period included a reduction in force at Cooper’s corporate headquarters and certain manufacturing plants as the company positioned its capabilities to best align with future needs. This action resulted in approximately $1 million of restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2020.
Return on invested capital was 5.1 percent for the trailing four quarters.

Second quarter net sales in the Americas segment decreased 26.9 percent as a result of $183 million of lower unit volume and $2 million of unfavorable foreign currency impact, which were partially offset by $29 million of favorable price and mix. For the quarter, segment unit volume was down 31.5 percent compared to the same period a year ago.
Cooper’s second quarter total light vehicle tire shipments in the U.S. decreased 24.1 percent. The U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA) reported that its member shipments of light vehicle tires in the U.S. decreased 31.0 percent. Total industry shipments (including an estimate for non-USTMA members) decreased 31.7 percent for the period.

Second quarter operating profit was $22 million, or 5.1 percent of net sales, compared with $47 million, or 8.0 percent of net sales, for the same period in 2019. Operating profit included $41 million of lower unit volume and $37 million of unfavorable manufacturing. This was partially offset by $25 million of favorable raw material costs, $18 million of price and mix, $6 million lower SG&A expenses and $4 million of lower other costs.

Second quarter net sales in the International segment decreased 27.1 percent as a result of $23 million of lower unit volume, $11 million of unfavorable price and mix and $4 million of unfavorable foreign currency impact. For the quarter, segment unit volume was down 16.4 percent compared to the same period a year ago, primarily driven by lower unit volume in Europe. In Asia, third-party unit sales were up 4.5 percent.
The segment's second quarter operating profit was $1 million compared with an operating loss of $1 million in the second quarter of 2019. The quarter included $5 million of lower raw materials and $4 million lower SG&A expenses. This was partially offset by $4 million of unfavorable price and mix, $2 million of lower unit volume, $2 million of higher manufacturing costs and $1 million of higher other costs. The second quarter of 2019 also included $2 million of restructuring costs related to Cooper Tire Europe's decision to cease light vehicle tire production at its Melksham, England, facility, positively impacting the year-over-year comparison.
Outlook

“While the coronavirus presents a level of risk going forward, we expect our business to improve in the second half of 2020,” Hughes said. “In addition, other than discretionary debt pay-down, we do not currently believe we will have a substantial cash usage in the third quarter. In fact, due to our improving financial position and outlook, as of July 31, we have paid down $200 million of the $270 million we borrowed on our revolving credit facilities. We now expect full year 2020 capital expenditures to be at the high end of our previously stated range between $140 and $160 million, and an effective tax rate, excluding significant discrete items, of approximately 25 percent.”

“As we look further out, given our attractive value proposition, growing awareness of the Cooper brand and the momentum of our strategic initiatives, we are confident in our ability to return to our mid-term target range in the future."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures as defined under SEC rules.  Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, other financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  The company’s methods of determining these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies for these or similar non-GAAP financial measures.  Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies.  As required by SEC rules, detailed reconciliations between the company’s GAAP and non-GAAP financial results are provided on the attached schedule.
