Northville, Michigan – Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc. (CPS) announced a net income of $1.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, marking a significant financial turnaround compared to the same period last year when the company recorded a net loss of $31.7 million. The recent earnings equate to a profit of 9 cents per share, while adjusted earnings, which exclude non-recurring costs, stood at 19 cents per share.
In the first quarter of 2025, Cooper-Standard’s total revenue was $667.1 million, down 1.4% from $676.4 million for the same period in 2024. This slight decline in sales was primarily influenced by foreign exchange headwinds, although the company saw some positive contributions from increases in sales volume and customer price adjustments.
The remarkable turnaround in Cooper-Standard’s profitability is underscored by an increase in adjusted net income, rising to $3.5 million in Q1 2025 from an adjusted net loss of $30.6 million in Q1 2024. This demonstrates an improvement of $34.1 million year over year. Additionally, the company’s adjusted EBITDA surged to $58.7 million for the first quarter of 2025, a substantial increase from $29.3 million in the previous year.
Operational Efficiency Drives Improvement

New Business Awards and Market Initiatives
In addition to its financial recovery, Cooper-Standard successfully secured $55.0 million in net new business awards during the first quarter of 2025. These awards are expected to contribute to future annualized sales and are predominantly connected to the company’s initiatives focusing on battery electric vehicles and hybrid vehicle technologies. This strategic focus aligns with the growing demand for eco-friendly automotive solutions.
