Cooper Tire acquiring majority share in Chinese truck tyre maker

Company News, Premium

It’s now over a year since Cooper Tire & Rubber completed the sale of its share in the Cooper Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company Ltd joint venture. At the time, company chairman, chief executive and president Roy Armes mentioned that Cooper would “identify and develop alternative sources” for the tyres produced at the Cooper Chengshan plant; he identified a further joint venture as one potential option. The tyre maker reports it has realised this alternative source and has entered into an agreement to purchase a majority of China-based Qingdao Ge Rui Da Rubber Co., Ltd (GRT).

Operating profit up in Q2 as Cooper Tire benefits from raw material prices

Company News

Cooper Tire & Rubber blames the absence of Cooper Chengshan Tire (CCT) from the company’s books for the 15.4 per cent year-on-year drop in sales experienced during the second quarter of 2015. Excluding the impact of CCT, Cooper Tire & Rubber’s second quarter 2015 sales rose five per cent year-on-year as a result of $64 million worth of higher unit volume gained both in the Americas and International business units.

Joint venture sale lifts Cooper Tire 2014 income

Company News

The sale of its share in the Cooper Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company joint venture operation in China helped propel Cooper Tire & Rubber’s net income upwards in 2014 and played a key role in quadrupling it in the final quarter of the year. Net sales were 0.4 per cent lower year-on-year, dragged down by weak performance outside of the Americas and the absence of Cooper Chengshan towards the end of the year. The tyre maker says it aims to maintain its margins in 2015 and expects to exceed industry unit volume growth rates in its largest markets; house brands will be a key contributor to this growth.

Chinese JV exit gives Cooper Tire flexibility to plan for a changing tyre market

Company News, International News, Premium

In recent weeks and months, Roy Armes has voiced on a number of occasions that Cooper Tire & Rubber still views China as an important part of the company’s future plans, despite its experiences at the Cooper Chengshan Tire (CCT) joint venture factory in 2013. Most recently, the chairman, chief executive officer and president confirmed during a conference call on 4 December that the country “will continue to be an important part of our long-term growth strategy.” But that doesn’t mean Cooper Tire can’t or won’t adjust its activities in China to meet global market conditions. In light of a new round of tariff measures in the US, which came into effect shortly after Cooper Tire sold its 65 per cent share in CCT, the company has shifted some of its production from China to other global locations, and it will continue to do so should conditions favour this strategy.

Q3 Cooper Tire result exceeds estimates

Company News

After delivering investors a net income of exactly no cents per share in the third quarter of 2013, this year Cooper Tire & Rubber exceeded analyst estimates to deliver US$0.77 per share, $0.05 higher than the consensus estimate. In reporting these much stronger third-quarter results, the company pointed out that its financial results from a year earlier were impacted by “a number of unusual circumstances,” including strike action and other issues at the Cooper Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company Ltd (CCT) joint-venture operation in China, which resulted in lower production and shipments; higher costs and lower volume associated with shipping inefficiencies related to ERP system implementations; and costs related to the then-pending acquisition by Apollo Tyres, a deal that was terminated at the end of the year. “As a result, many of the year-over-year comparisons are not representative of the business under normal conditions.”
