Contract Estimates
The amount of revenue recognized is usually based on the purchase order price and adjusted for variable consideration, including pricing concessions. The Company accrues for pricing concessions by reducing revenue as products are shipped or delivered. The accruals are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and management’s best judgment. The Company also generally has ongoing adjustments to customer pricing arrangements based on the content and cost of its products. Such pricing accruals are adjusted as they are settled with customers. Customer returns are usually related to quality or shipment issues and are recorded as a reduction of revenue. The Company generally does not recognize significant return obligations due to their infrequent nature.
Contract Balances
The Company’s contract assets consist of unbilled amounts associated with variable pricing arrangements in its Asia Pacific region. Once pricing is finalized, contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable. As a result, the timing of revenue recognition and billings, as well as changes in foreign exchange rates, will impact contract assets on an ongoing basis. Contract assets were not materially impacted by any other factors during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception.primarily has operating and finance leases for certain manufacturing facilities, corporate offices and certain equipment. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of SeptemberJune 30, 2019.2020. Finance leases are included in property, plant and equipment, net, debt payable within one year, and long-term debt on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Lease right-of-use assets are recognized at commencement date based upon the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease terms include options to renew or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise the option. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based upon information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future lease payments. The Company applies the portfolio approach for the incremental borrowing rate on its leases based upon similar lease terms and payments. The lease right-of-use asset also includes lease payments made in advancecomponents of lease commencement and excludes lease incentives. Operating lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.were as follows:

12.11. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based upon assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, a three-tier fair value hierarchy is utilized, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1:Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2:Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Estimates of the fair value of foreign currency and interest rate derivative instruments are determined using exchange traded prices and rates. The Company also considers the risk of non-performance in the estimation of fair value and includes an adjustment for non-performance risk in the measure of fair value of derivative instruments. In certain instances where market data is not available, the Company uses management judgment to develop assumptions that are used to determine fair value. Fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy level for the Company’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 were as follows:
 September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Input
Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets$157
 $277
 Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities(95) (925) Level 2

Forward foreign exchange contracts - other current assets$51  $467  Level 2
Forward foreign exchange contracts - accrued liabilities(4,588) (42) Level 2
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
In addition to items that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, which are not included in the table above. As these nonrecurring fair value measurements are generally determined using unobservable inputs, these fair value measurements are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For further information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis see Note 3. “Acquisitions”“Assets Held for Sale and Divestiture” and Note 9.8. “Property, Plant and Equipment.”
Items Not Carried at Fair Value
Fair values of the Company’s Senior Notes, Senior Secured Notes and Term Loan Facility were as follows:
 September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018
Aggregate fair value$680,684
 $684,687

Aggregate carrying value (1)
978,100  729,800  
(1) Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized original issue discount.
Fair values were based on quoted market prices and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company enters into derivative instruments primarily to hedge portions of its forecasted foreign currency denominated cash flows and designates these derivative instruments as cash flow hedges in order to qualify for hedge accounting.
The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the cash flow hedges. The Company also formally assesses whether a cash flow hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. Derivatives are recorded at fair value in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. For a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and reclassified into earnings when the underlying hedged transaction is realized. The realized gains and losses are recorded on the same line as the hedged transaction in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share and share amounts)

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by its counterparties on its derivative financial instruments. The Company mitigates this credit risk exposure by entering into agreements directly with major financial institutions with high credit standards that are expected to fully satisfy their obligations under the contracts.
Cash Flow Hedges
Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts - The Company uses forward contracts to mitigate the potential volatility to earnings and cash flow arising from changes in currency exchange rates that impact the Company’s foreign currency transactions. The principal currencies hedged by the Company include various European currencies, the Canadian Dollar, and the Mexican Peso. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the notional amount of these contracts was $39,890$57,898 and $154,237,$92,150, respectively, and consisted of hedges of transactions up to JuneDecember 2020.
Interest rate swaps - The Company has historically used interest rate swap contracts to manage cash flow variability associated with its variable rate Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swap contract, which fixes the interest payments of variable rate debt instruments, is used to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, there were no interest rate swap contracts outstanding.
Pretax amounts related to the Company’s cash flow hedges that were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) were as follows:

13.12. Accounts Receivable Factoring
As a part of its working capital management, the Company sells certain receivables through a single third-party financial institution in a pan-European program (the “Factor”). The amount sold varies each month based on the amount of underlying receivables and cash flow needs of the Company. These are permitted transactions under the Company’s credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and Term Loan Facility and the indentureindentures governing the Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes. The European factoring facility, which was renewed in March 2020, allows the Company to factor up to €120 million of its Euro-denominated accounts receivable, accelerating access to cash and reducing credit risk. The factoring facility expires in December 2023.
Costs incurred on the sale of receivables are recorded in other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The sale of receivables under this contract is considered an off-balance sheet arrangement to the Company and is accounted for as a true sale and is excluded from accounts receivable in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Amounts outstanding under receivable transfer agreements entered into by various locations as of the period end were as follows:

The effective tax rate for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 compared to the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018 was higher2019 varied from prior periods primarily due to the geographic mix of increased pre-tax earnings as a result oflosses driven by the impairment charge on held for sale of the AVS product line recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2019entities and the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. Additionally, a discrete expense of $12,871 for the initial recognition of valuation allowances against net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions was recorded in both the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019. Additionally, benefits recorded from adjustments to provisional amounts recorded as a result2020. In accordance with recent legislation, one of the U.S. Tax Cutsbusiness tax provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and JobsEconomic Security Act resulted(“CARES Act”) allows net operating losses (“NOL”) generated by the Company in tax years to be carried back up to five years at the tax rates in effect during those periods, rather than carried forward at current federal tax rates of 21%. The Company has included a lower$14,344 benefit in the estimated annual effective tax rate for this CARES Act provision which was used to calculate the income tax benefit recorded in the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.
2020. The income tax rate for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and 20182019 varies from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions to the extent not offset by other categories of income, tax credits, the impact of income taxes on foreign earnings taxed at rates varying from the U.S. statutory rate, and other permanent items. Further, the Company’s current and future provision for income taxes is impacted by the initial recognition of and changes in valuation allowances in certain countries. The Company intends to maintain these valuation allowances until it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized.

22.21. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is periodically involved in claims, litigation and various legal matters that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for litigation exposure when it is probable that future costs will be incurred and such costs can be reasonably estimated. Any resulting adjustments, which could be material, are recorded in the period the adjustments are identified. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any material loss exceeding the amounts already recognized for claims, litigation and various legal matters, if any, has been incurred. However, the ultimate resolutions of these proceedings and matters are inherently unpredictable. As such, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be adversely affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these proceedings or matters.
In addition, the Company conducts and monitors environmental investigations and remedial actions at certain locations. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the undiscounted reserve for environmental investigation and remediation was approximately $4,703$7,607 and $4,668,$6,104, respectively. While the Company’s costs to defend and settle known claims arising under environmental laws have not been material in the past and are not currently estimated to be material, such costs may be material in the future.

References in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”) to “we,” “our,” or the “Company” refer to Cooper-Standard Holdings Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Executive Overview
Our Business
We design, manufacture and sell sealing, fuel and brake delivery, and fluid transfer systems for use primarily in passenger vehicles and light trucks manufactured by global automotive original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). We are primarily a “Tier 1” supplier, with approximately 85%83% of our sales in 20182019 made directly to major OEMs. We operate our business along fourthe following reportable segments: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. All other business activities are reported in Corporate, eliminations and other.
During the first quarter of 2019 and in prior periods, the Companywe also operated an anti-vibration systems (“AVS”) business. On April 1, 2019, we completed the divestiture of the anti-vibration systemsAVS business.
Recent Trends and Conditions
General Economic Conditions and Outlook
The global automotive industry is susceptible to uncertain economic conditions that could adversely impact new vehicle demand and production. Business conditions may vary significantly from period to period or region to region. The COVID-19 pandemic created an unusually high degree of economic disruption during the first half of 2020 and is continuing to drive uncertainty for the economic outlook and the automotive industry around the world. Economists at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) are now expecting the global economy to contract by approximately 5.0% in 2020.
InEconomic conditions and consumer confidence in North America general economic conditions have been strongnegatively impacted by concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic and relatively stable since 2018. Led bygovernment-imposed shutdowns to contain the spread of the disease. The United States government has taken historic measures to provide fiscal stimulus to the economy in an effort to sustain businesses, limit job losses and preempt deeper declines in consumer confidence. Despite these efforts, IMF economists now expect economic contraction of approximately 8.0% for the North America region in 2020.
While most states have begun to re-open their economies, continued rolling outbreaks of COVID-19 cases and uncertainty related to the presidential election in the United States will likely weigh on consumer confidence in North America well into the fourth quarter of 2020 and possibly into 2021.
In the European region, the IMF is projecting economic growthcontraction of approximately 10.2% for 2020. Current and potential future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to weigh on the economies of the region. Due to the pandemic, certain European governments mandated closures of broad segments of the economy in the first half of the year. Re-opening of the economies has begun at varying times and rates across the region. Most automotive manufacturers resumed production by mid-May to early June. As part of a broad economic recovery program, the European Union is considering various incentives to stimulate automotive demand in the region. Even as businesses in the region is expectedreturn to continue through the remainder of 2019, albeit at a more modest rate than last year. Consumer confidence, employmentwork, geopolitical concerns and inflation remain at healthy levels. Continued uncertainty regarding global trade relationships and Federal Reserve interest rate policies, among other factors, could dampen economic momentum, while positive developments in these areas could be a positive catalyst. In Canada and Mexico, economic growth has slowed but is expected to remain positive for the full year in 2019. The mix of vehicles produced and sold in North America continues to shift away from passenger cars in favor of crossover utility vehicles and light trucks.
In Europe, economic momentum slowed in the second half of 2018, and the underlying issues and uncertainties responsible for the slowdown have carried over into the first three quarters of 2019. Geopolitical concerns, the implementation of new environmental regulations in the automotive industry and the slowing of economic conditions within key trading partner countries have weighed on consumer confidence and industrial investment. The continuation of global trade tensions, financial pressures within some of the key European Union member countries and the United Kingdom’s pending separation from the European Union (“Brexit”) will likely continue to create a high level of uncertainty and challenge the regionalimpact economic outlook for the remainder of 2019 and into 2020.growth.

In South America, the IMF estimates that the Brazilian economy will contract by approximately 9.1% in 2020 as compared to 2019. Unemployment is projected to exceed 15.0%. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Brazilian government has regained some momentum following a slight contractionapproved an aggressive fiscal spending package to stimulate economic activity. While seen as urgently necessary, this spending will add to the country’s already high national debt level and could lead to lower consumer confidence and foreign investment in the first quarter of 2019. At the end of the third quarter, both the manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) and consumer confidence reached their highest levels of the year. However, lower demand for exports from neighboring Argentina and continued trade tensions globally will likely suppress economic growth in the near term.region going forward. We remain cautious for the mid to long-term outlook given the long history of political instability and economic volatility in the region.


Raw Materials
Our business is susceptible to inflationary pressures with respect to raw materials which may place operational and profitability burdens on the entire supply chain. Costs related to raw materials, such as steel, aluminum, and oil and oil-derived commodities, continue to be volatile. In addition, we continue to expect commodity cost volatility to have an impact on future earnings and operating cash flows. As such, on an ongoing basis, we work with our customers and suppliers to mitigate both inflationary pressures and our material-related cost exposures.
Production Levels
Our business is directly affected by the automotive vehicle production rates in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and South America. New vehicle demand is drivenBeginning in the first quarter of 2020, as a result of COVID-19, we experienced the shutdown of effectively all of our facilities in Asia Pacific coinciding with the shutdown of our customer facilities in that region. Facility shutdowns then occurred in March 2020 for a majority of our facilities in North America, Europe and South America.
Production resumed in Asia Pacific by macroeconomicthe end of the first quarter of 2020, albeit at a lower capacity and other factors, suchhas steadily increased in production capacity throughout the second quarter. For our North America and Europe facilities, production resumed in May 2020 at a lower capacity and has increased through the remainder of the second quarter. Finally, for our South America facilities, production resumed in the second quarter, but has remained at a lower capacity. We are collaborating closely with our customers as interest rates, manufacturerproduction volume continues to increase, while also adhering to enhanced safety standards and dealer sales incentives, fuel prices, consumer confidence, employment levels, income growth trends and government and tax incentives. The industry could face uncertainties that may adversely impact consumer demand for vehicles as well as the future production environment.measures to protect our employees.

In North America, totalTotal vehicle production has decreased slightly comparedsubstantially across the globe. The COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as the biggest risk factor facing the automotive industry. Plant shutdowns have greatly slowed production and have been accompanied by decreased demand for vehicles, as new vehicle sales are highly dependent on strong consumer confidence and low unemployment. While the outlook for the second half of the year remains uncertain, there are signs that the global economy is beginning to 2018. Continuing recent trends inrebound from the impacts of the pandemic. Lower unemployment rates, improving consumer demand, production of passenger cars declined while production of sport utility vehiclesconfidence and crossover vehicles increased. We expect these trends to continue in North America throughout the remainder of 2019. In addition, delayed ramp up of keylower than normal light vehicle platforms at certain customers and the United Auto Workers (“UAW”) work stoppage against General Motors, our second largest customer, impacted vehicle production volumes in the region.
European and Asia Pacificinventory levels could all have a positive impact on light vehicle production declined overall during the year. These changes reflect consumer demand and geopolitical instability, including uncertainty around tariffs and global trade relations in both regions and Brexit uncertainty in Europe. Accordingly, we remain cautious on the impact through the remainder of the year and into 2020.

The Company’s material cost of products sold was approximately 39% and 50% of total cost of products sold for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The change in the cost of products sold was driven by government imposed global shutdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, commodity price fluctuations, foreign exchange, and wage inflation.
Gross profit (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased $158.2 million or 161.7% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was driven by the decline in vehicle production volume due to government imposed global shutdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, customer price reductions, and wage inflation. These items were partially offset by net favorable operational performance, restructuring savings, material cost reductions and foreign exchange.
Selling, Administration and Engineering Expense. Selling, administration and engineering expense includes administrative expenses as well as product engineering and design and development costs. Sales, administration and engineering expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was 20.1% of sales compared to 9.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in rate was driven by the significant decline in total sales. Selling, administration and engineering expenses were lower by $5.9 million. The decrease in amount was primarily due to savings generated from salaried employee initiatives resulting in lower compensation-related expenses and lower travel expenses, partially offset by general inflation.
Gain on Sale of Business. Gain on sale of business of $189.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 related to the sale of our AVS product line within our North America, Europe and Asia Pacific segments. We completed the sale to Continental AG on April 1, 2019.
Restructuring. Restructuring charges for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $3.8 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was driven by higher restructuring charges in North America, Asia Pacific and South America, primarily related to plant closures and other footprint rationalization initiatives.
Impairment Charges. Non-cash impairment charges for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $10.4 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily related to reducing the carrying value of the held for sale facilities to fair value less costs to sell. Fair value was determined using a market approach, estimated based on expected proceeds.
Interest Expense, Net. Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $1.2 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to higher outstanding debt balances.
Other Expense, Net. Other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 increased $2.9 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to higher foreign currency losses.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense. Income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $39.0 million on a loss before income taxes of $175.0 million. This compares to an income tax expense of $44.2 million on earnings before income taxes of $188.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 differed primarily due to the geographic mix of pre-tax losses driven by the impairment charge on held for sale entities, the inability to record a tax benefit for pre-tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions, as well as benefits recorded as a result of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) net operating loss (“NOL”) carry back provision that allows NOLs generated in tax years to be carried back up to five years at the tax rates in effect during those periods, rather than carried forward at current federal tax rates of 21%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks
We intend to fund our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements through a combination of cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our senior asset-based revolving credit facility (“ABL Facility”) and receivables factoring. The Company utilizes intercompany loans and equity contributions to fund its worldwide operations. There may be country-specific regulations which may restrict or result in increased costs in the repatriation of these funds. See Note 11.10. “Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report for additional information.
Based onTaking into account the ramp up of production thus far, our current expectations and anticipated levels of operationsprojections for increasing OEM customer production plans and due to the conditions inaggressive actions we have taken to preserve cash and enhance liquidity, including significantly decreasing our markets and industry,capital expenditures, we believe that our cash flows from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our ABL Facility and receivables factoring will enable us to meet our ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other funding requirements for the next twelve months. However,months, despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. We continuously monitor and forecast our liquidity situation, take the necessary actions to preserve our liquidity and evaluate other financial alternatives that may be available to us should the need arise. Our ability to fund our working capital needs, debt payments and other obligations, and to comply with the financial covenants, including borrowing base limitations, under our ABL Facility, depend on our future operating performance and cash flows and many factors outside of our control, including the costs of raw materials, the state of the overall automotive industry and financial and economic conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, and other factors.



Cash Flows
Operating Activities. Net cash provided byused in operations was $29.9$126.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, compared to net cash provided byused in operations of $78.0$9.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. The lower inflownet outflow was primarily due to decreased cash earnings, and timing of customer payments, partially offset by changes in accrued liabilities.working capital improvements.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities was $62.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash provided by investing activities was $113.9of $149.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, compared2019. Significant decreases in capital expenditures occurred in the second quarter of 2020, in order to net cash usedpreserve liquidity in investing activitiesresponse to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, lower capital expenditures are expected in the second half of $250.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.2020. Cash provided by investing activities in 2019 consisted primarily of gross proceeds of $243.4 million from the sale of our AVS product line, partially offset by capital spending of $131.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We anticipate that we will spend approximately $165 million to $175 million on capital expenditures in 2019.spending.


Financing Activities. Net cash used inprovided by financing activities totaled $78.3$232.7 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $57.0$91.2 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. The changeinflow was primarily due to the repaymentproceeds from issuance of our revolving credit facility and local borrowing lines.Senior Secured Notes during the six months ended June 30, 2020. There were no share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Cash used for share repurchases was $36.6 million and $43.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.2019.
Share Repurchase Program
In June 2018, our Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program (the “2018 Program”) authorizing us to repurchase, in the aggregate, up to $150.0 million of our outstanding common stock. Under the 2018 Program, repurchases may be made on the open market, through private transactions, accelerated share repurchases, round lot or block transactions on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise, as determined by us and in accordance with prevailing market conditions and federal securities laws and regulations. We expect to fund any future repurchases from cash on hand and future cash flows from operations. The specific timing and amount of any future repurchase will vary based on market and business conditions and other factors. We are not obligated to acquire a particular amount of securities, and the 2018 Program may be discontinued at any time at our discretion. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, we had approximately $98.7 million of repurchase authorization remaining under the 2018 Program. We currently have no plans to repurchase shares in the foreseeable future.
We did not make any repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
2019 Repurchases
In May 2019, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase our common stock pursuant to the 2018 Program. Under the ASR agreement, we made an up-front payment of $30.0 million and received an initial delivery of 626,305 shares of our common stock in the second quarter of 2019. The repurchase was completed in the third quarter of 2019 when we received final delivery of an additional 72,875 shares. A total of 699,180 shares were repurchased at a weighted average purchase price of $42.91 per share.
In addition to the repurchase under the ASR agreement, during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019, we utilized $5.9 million of cash on hand to repurchaserepurchased 85,000 shares of common stock at an average purchase price of $69.85 per share.
2018 Repurchases
In June 2018, we entered into an accelerated repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase our common stock. Under this ASR agreement, we made an up-front payment of $35.0 million and received an initial delivery of 207,193 shares in the second quarter of 2018. The ASR was completed in the third quarter of 2018 when we received an additional 51,092 shares. A total of 258,285 shares were repurchased at a weighted average purchase price of $135.51 per share.
In addition to the repurchase under this ASR agreement, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we repurchased 69,503 shares of our common stock at an average purchase price of $122.64 per share, excluding commissions, for a total cost of $8.5$5.9 million.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In evaluating our business, management considers EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be key indicators of our operating performance. Our management also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
because similar measures are utilized in the calculation of the financial covenants and ratios contained in our financing arrangements;
in developing our internal budgets and forecasts;
as a significant factor in evaluating our management for compensation purposes;
in evaluating potential acquisitions;
in comparing our current operating results with corresponding historical periods and with the operational performance of other companies in our industry; and
in presentations to the members of our board of directors to enable our board of directors to have the same measurement basis of operating performance as is used by management in their assessments of performance and in forecasting and budgeting for our company.
In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and similar measures are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating our performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus income tax expense (benefit), interest expense, net of interest income, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA, as adjusted
38


for items that management does not consider to be reflective of our core operating performance. These adjustments include, but are not limited to, restructuring costs, impairment charges, non-cash fair value adjustments and acquisition-related costs.


EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not financial measurements recognized under U.S. GAAP, and when analyzing our operating performance, investors should use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a supplement to, and not as alternatives for, net income (loss), operating income, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP, nor as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and they should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations as reported under U.S. GAAP. These limitations include:
 
they do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditure or contractual commitments;
they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
they do not reflect interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments under our ABL Facility, Term Loan Facility, Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes;
they do not reflect certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated or amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect cash requirements for such replacements; and
other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate these measures differently and, as the number of differences in the way companies calculate these measures increases, the degree of their usefulness as a comparative measure correspondingly decreases.
In addition, in evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, it should be noted that in the future, we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in the below presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by special items.
The following table provides a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA from net income (loss), which is the most comparable financial measure in accordance with U.S. GAAP:

Risk Factors” in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “First Quarter Form 10-Q”), with the risk factors set forth below. The risk factors below should be read in conjunction with the factors set out in the 2019 Annual Report and the First Quarter Form 10-Q.
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and our ability to obtain financing in the future and to react to changes in our business.
For discussion of our debt and financing arrangements, including our Term Loan Facility, ABL Facility, Senior Notes and Senior Secured Notes, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Short and Long-Term Liquidity Considerations and Risks” in Part I. Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 10. “Debt” to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included under Part I. Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Report.
Our substantial amount of debt and our debt service obligations could limit our ability to satisfy our obligations, limit our ability to operate our business and impair our competitive position. For example, it could:
increase our vulnerability to adverse economic and general industry conditions, including interest rate fluctuations, because a portion of our borrowings is at variable rates of interest;
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to payments on our debt, which would reduce the availability of cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes;
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry;
place us at a disadvantage compared to competitors that may have proportionately less debt;
limit our ability to obtain additional debt or equity financing due to applicable financial and restrictive covenants in our debt agreements; and
increase our cost of borrowing.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on our debt or to refinance these obligations depends on our financial condition, operating performance and our ability to generate cash in the future. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, sell material assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, we may not be able to effect any of these actions, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our ability to restructure or refinance our indebtedness will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments, including the credit agreements governing the Term Loan Facility and the ABL Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Notes, may limit or prevent us from taking any of these actions. In addition, any failure to make scheduled payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all. An inability to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our debt service obligations, or to refinance or restructure our obligations on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as on our ability to satisfy our obligations in respect of the Term Loan Facility, the ABL Facility, the Senior Notes or the Senior Secured Notes.
Although the credit agreements governing the Term Loan Facility and the ABL Facility contain certain limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, they do not prohibit us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness as defined therein. To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness or such other obligations, the risk associated with our substantial indebtedness described above, including our potential inability to service our debt, will increase.

Our debt instruments impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries.
The credit agreements governing the Term Loan Facility and the ABL Facility impose significant operating and financial restrictions and limit our ability, among other things, to:
incur, assume or permit to exist additional indebtedness (including guarantees thereof);
pay dividends or certain other distributions on our capital stock or repurchase our capital stock or prepay subordinated indebtedness;
incur liens on assets;
make certain investments or other restricted payments;
allow to exist certain restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to us;
engage in transactions with affiliates;
alter the business that we conduct; and
sell certain assets or merge or consolidate with or into other companies.
Moreover, our ABL Facility provides the agent considerable discretion to impose reserves, which could materially reduce the amount of borrowings that would otherwise be available to us.
The indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Notes also impose restrictions and limit our ability, among other things, to:
incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock;
create or incur liens;
make certain restricted payments;
sell certain assets or merge or consolidate with or into other companies; and
enter into certain sale-leaseback transactions.
As a result of these covenants and restrictions (including borrowing base availability), we are limited in how we conduct our business, and we may be unable to raise additional debt or equity financing to compete effectively or to take advantage of new business opportunities or acquisitions. The terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could include more restrictive covenants. We may not be able to maintain compliance with these covenants in the future and, if we fail to do so, we may not be able to obtain waivers from the lenders and/or amend the covenants in such agreements. Our failure to comply with the restrictive covenants described above as well as others contained in our future debt instruments from time to time could result in an event of default, which, if not cured or waived, could result in our being required to repay these borrowings before their due date. If we are forced to refinance these borrowings on less favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.
If there were an event of default under any of the agreements relating to our outstanding indebtedness, the holders of the defaulted debt could cause all amounts outstanding with respect to that debt to be due and payable immediately. Our assets or cash flow may not be sufficient to fully repay borrowings under our outstanding debt instruments if accelerated upon occurrence of an event of default. Further, if we are unable to repay, refinance or restructure our indebtedness under our secured debt, the holders of such debt could exercise remedies against the collateral securing that indebtedness. In addition, any event of default or declaration of acceleration under one debt instrument could also result in an event of default under one or more of our other debt instruments. As a result, any default by us on our indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
44


We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.
Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business and other factors beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, or to sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations. If our operating results and available cash are insufficient to meet our debt service obligations, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds that we could realize from them, and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. Any future refinancing of our indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants which could further restrict our business operations. Additionally, the credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Notes limit the use of the proceeds from any disposition of our assets. As a result, the credit agreements governing the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Notes may prevent us from using the proceeds from such dispositions to satisfy our debt service obligations.
Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our indebtedness service obligations to increase significantly.
The borrowings under the ABL Facility and the Term Loan Facility are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, would correspondingly decrease.
