Cooper-Standard booked revenue of $760.5m for the second quarter of 2011, compared with $628.4m the previous year, reflecting increased sales resulting from its recently established joint venture with Fonds de Modernisation des Equipementiers Automobiles (FMEA), higher industry volumes, and favorable foreign currency exchange movements.

Revenue for the first half to 30 June, 2011 was $1.45bn, compared to $1.22bn.

Q2 net income was $19m after a $36m restructuring charge related to the closing of a French joint venture facility. Net income a year before included accounting adjustments related to reorganisation and “therefore does not offer a reasonable basis for comparison”, the supplier said.

H1 net income was $64.0m.

Gross profit for the quarter increased to $123.7m, or 16.3% of sales, from $106.2m, or 16.9% of sales. H1 gross profit was $244.5m, or 16.9% of sales, compared to $210.7m, or 17.2% of sales, due to lower margins at acquired businesses and increased raw material prices.
