Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation | 1 | Basis of Presentation and Consolidation |
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. | ||
There is a year-round demand for the Company’s passenger and truck replacement tires, but sales of light vehicle replacement tires are generally strongest during the third and fourth quarters of the year. Winter tires are sold principally during the months of June through November. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2015. | ||
The Company consolidates into its financial statements the accounts of the Company, all wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any partially-owned subsidiary that the Company has the ability to control. Control generally equates to ownership percentage, whereby investments that are more than 50 percent owned are consolidated, investments in affiliates of 50 percent or less but greater than 20 percent are accounted for using the equity method, and investments in affiliates of 20 percent or less are accounted for using the cost method. The Company does not consolidate any entity for which it has a variable interest based solely on power to direct the activities and significant participation in the entity’s expected results that would not otherwise be consolidated based on control through voting interests. Further, the Company’s joint venture is a business established and maintained in connection with the Company’s operating strategy. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. | ||
Accounting Pronouncements | ||
Each change to U.S. GAAP is established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of an accounting standards update (“ASU”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). | ||
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates. Accounting standards updates not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | ||
Accounting Pronouncements – Recently Adopted | ||
Discontinued Operations – In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The standard is effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Accordingly, the Company has formally adopted the new standard; however, the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | ||
Accounting Pronouncements – To be adopted | ||
Revenue Recognition – In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The standard was proposed to be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year, and that proposal is subject to a thirty day comment period. The standard permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | ||
Stock-Based Compensation – In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” which requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The standard is effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | ||
Consolidation – In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which modifies the existing consolidation model, particularly for those entities with a variable interest in other legal entities. The guidance is effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and can be applied using either a retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | ||
Debt Issuance Costs – In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. Application of the standard, which is required to be applied retrospectively, is required for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. | ||

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |||||
CCT Agreements | |||||
2 | CCT Agreements | ||||
On January 29, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement (the “CCT Agreement”) with Chengshan Group Company Ltd. (“Chengshan”) and The Union of Cooper Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company Co., Ltd. (the “Union”) regarding Cooper Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company Ltd. (“CCT”) that, among other matters, provided Chengshan, with certain conditions and exceptions, a limited contractual right to either (i) purchase the Company’s 65 percent equity interest in CCT for 65 percent of the Option Price (as defined below) or (ii) sell its 35 percent equity interest in CCT to the Company for 35 percent of the Option Price. In the event Chengshan elected not to exercise its right to purchase the Company’s equity interest or sell its interest in CCT to the Company, the Company had the right to purchase Chengshan’s 35 percent equity interest in CCT for 35 percent of the Option Price subject to certain conditions. In the event neither Chengshan nor the Company exercised their respective options prior to their expiration, the agreement allowed for continuation of the joint venture as then structured. | |||||
The “Option Price” under the CCT Agreement was defined as the greater of (i) the fair market value of CCT on a stand-alone basis, which value would not take into consideration the value of the trademarks and technologies licensed by the Company to CCT, as determined by an internationally recognized valuation firm (the “CCT valuation”) and (ii) $435,000. | |||||
Under the terms of the CCT Agreement, once the Option Price was determined, the noncontrolling shareholder had 45 days to elect to either purchase the Company’s 65 percent ownership interest in CCT for 65 percent of the Option Price or sell to the Company its 35 percent ownership interest in CCT at 35 percent of the Option Price or do neither. If the noncontrolling shareholder did not exercise these options, the options would expire and the Company would have the right to purchase the noncontrolling shareholder’s 35 percent ownership interest in CCT at 35 percent of the Option Price. The CCT Agreement provided that, if the CCT valuation was not provided on or before August 11, 2014 (as such date may be extended, the “Option Commencement Deadline”), the options of both parties would terminate and be of no effect unless the Company, at its sole discretion, elected to extend the deadline for the CCT valuation. On August 11, 2014, the Company extended the Option Commencement Deadline from August 11, 2014 to August 14, 2014 to allow the parties to finalize the Option Agreement, as defined below, and related matters. | |||||
As contemplated by the CCT Agreement, on August 14, 2014, the Company, Cooper Tire Investment Holding (Barbados) Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of CTB, Chengshan and Prairie Investment Limited (“Prairie”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Chengshan, entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”). The Option Agreement further extended the Option Commencement Deadline until August 24, 2014. Furthermore, the Option Agreement, among other matters, set forth the details for exercising the options under the CCT Agreement and effecting the transactions pursuant thereto. | |||||
The CCT Agreement and the Option Agreement were separate and in addition to the purchase, sale, transfer, right of first refusal and other protective rights set forth in the existing joint venture agreement between the Company and Chengshan with respect to CCT, which continued to be in effect and fully operational. | |||||
The Company determined the CCT Agreement constituted an accounting extinguishment and new issuance of the Chengshan Group’s equity interest in CCT. In accordance with ASC 810, “Consolidation”, changes in a parent’s interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary shall be accounted for as equity transactions. Therefore, gains and losses were not recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as a result of the CCT Agreement. The Company was required to measure the noncontrolling shareholder interest at fair value as of January 29, 2014, the transaction date (the “Transaction Date Assessment”). | |||||
The measurement of the noncontrolling shareholder interest as of the transaction date related to the CCT Agreement was determined by assessing CCT as an ongoing component of the Company’s operations. The CCT Agreement Transaction Date Assessment was not meant to be representative of the fair market value of CCT as a stand-alone entity as defined by the CCT Agreement. Further, the Transaction Date Assessment also considered specific discounts attributable to a noncontrolling shareholder interest, including discounts for lack of control of the entity and lack of marketability. Any adjustment to the noncontrolling shareholder interest as a result of the Transaction Date Assessment was offset by a reduction to Capital in excess of par value, to the extent available, with any remaining amount treated as a reduction in Retained earnings. | |||||
In addition, because the CCT Agreement provided put and call options to the noncontrolling shareholder interest owner, these options were measured at fair value (the “Options Assessment”). Adjustments to the carrying value of the noncontrolling shareholder interest as a result of the Options Assessment were to be treated like a dividend to the noncontrolling shareholder interest owner. Any adjustment to the noncontrolling shareholder interest as a result of the Options Assessment was to be offset by a reduction to Retained earnings and reflected in the computation of earnings per share available to the Company’s common stockholders. | |||||
Further, as a result of the CCT Agreement, during the term of its put option rights, the noncontrolling shareholder interest in CCT had redemption features that were not within the control of the Company. Accordingly, the noncontrolling shareholder interest in CCT was recorded outside of total equity during the interim period between the CCT Agreement and eventual date of sale as described below. If the Transaction Date Assessment and Options Assessment resulted in a noncontrolling shareholder interest that was less than 35 percent of the minimum Option Price, ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, required that the noncontrolling shareholder interest be adjusted to 35 percent of the minimum Option Price. | |||||
The Company’s CCT Agreement Transaction Date Assessment, in accordance with the appropriate accounting guidance, resulted in an adjustment to the redeemable noncontrolling shareholder interest of $28,285, increasing the total noncontrolling shareholder interest to $152,250. The Options Assessment did not result in any further adjustment to the redeemable noncontrolling shareholder interest. The redeemable noncontrolling shareholder interest was classified outside of permanent equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, in accordance with the authoritative accounting guidance. | |||||
On August 24, 2014, the CCT valuation was completed by an internationally recognized valuation firm. The CCT valuation amount was approximately $437,700. As contemplated by the CCT Agreement, the CCT Valuation amount was to be used as the Option Price, as it was greater than $435,000. Subsequent to the Transaction Date Assessment, in accordance with ASC 480, the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling shareholder interest was evaluated to determine if the redemption value as of the reporting date exceeded the carrying value. At September 30, 2014, no adjustment to the redeemable noncontrolling shareholder interest was required as the carrying value of $168,435 was greater than the redemption value of $153,206, which is 35 percent of the CCT valuation amount of $437,700. | |||||
The Company determined that the recurring fair value measurements related to CCT relied primarily on Company-specific inputs and the Company’s assumptions about the use of the assets and settlements of liabilities, as observable inputs were not available and, as such, resided within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements. The Company utilized third parties to assist in the determination of the fair value of CCT based upon internal and external inputs considering various relevant market transactions, discounted cash flow valuation methods and probability weighting, among other factors. | |||||
In October 2014, the Company received the required documentation from the noncontrolling shareholder interest owner indicating its intent to exercise its call option under the CCT Agreement. On November 26, 2014, the Chinese State Administration for Industry & Commerce issued a new business license for CCT and on November 30, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its 65 percent ownership interest in CCT to Prairie, all in accordance with the previously described Option Agreement between the Company and Chengshan, referred to as the “Sale.” In connection with the Sale, the name of CCT was changed to Prinx Chengshan (Shandong) Tire Company Ltd. Under the terms of the CCT Agreement, the Company received approximately $262,000, in cash, net of taxes and including dividends. The sale of CCT resulted in a gain on sale, net of tax, of $55,704. Subsequent to the Sale, the Company continues to have off-take rights, with CCT agreeing to produce Cooper branded products until mid-2018. | |||||
The Company evaluated the Sale to determine if it met the discontinued operations criteria in accordance with ASC 205 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. Based upon the Company’s significant continuing involvement in the operations of CCT through the off-take agreements, the Sale is not deemed to meet the discontinued operations criteria. CCT was presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company through the Sale date. | |||||

These options could be dilutive in the future depending on the performance of the Company’s stock. For 2015, all options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the options’ exercise prices were less than the average market price of the common shares. | |||||||||

Inventory costs are determined using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method for substantially all U.S. inventories. The current cost of the U.S. inventories under the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method was $419,977 and $414,600 at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, respectively. These FIFO values have been reduced by approximately $126,231 and $76,537 at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, respectively, to arrive at the LIFO value reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The remaining inventories have been valued under the FIFO or average cost methods. All inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. |

Derivative financial instruments are utilized by the Company to reduce foreign currency exchange risks. The Company has established policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. The Company does not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The derivative financial instruments include fair value and cash flow hedges of foreign currency exposures. The change in values of the fair value foreign currency hedges offsets exchange rate fluctuations on the foreign currency-denominated intercompany loans and obligations. The Company presently hedges exposures in the Euro, Canadian dollar, British pound sterling, Swiss franc, Swedish krona, Norwegian krone, Mexican peso and Chinese yuan generally for transactions expected to occur within the next 12 months. The notional amount of these foreign currency derivative instruments at December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015 was $170,750 and $158,817, respectively. The counterparties to each of these agreements are major commercial banks. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts as hedges of the fair value of certain non-U.S. dollar denominated asset and liability positions, primarily accounts receivable and debt. Gains and losses resulting from the impact of currency exchange rate movements on these forward contracts are recognized in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the period in which the exchange rates change and offset the foreign currency gains and losses on the underlying exposure being hedged. | |||||||||||||||||
Foreign currency forward contracts are also used to hedge variable cash flows associated with forecasted sales and purchases denominated in currencies that are not the functional currency of certain entities. The forward contracts have maturities of less than twelve months pursuant to the Company’s policies and hedging practices. These forward contracts meet the criteria for and have been designated as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, the effective portion of the change in fair value of such forward contracts (approximately $5,719 and $10,139 as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, respectively) are recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and reclassified into earnings as the hedged transactions occur. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company assesses hedge ineffectiveness quarterly using the hypothetical derivative method. In doing so, the Company monitors the actual and forecasted foreign currency sales and purchases versus the amounts hedged to identify any hedge ineffectiveness. Any hedge ineffectiveness is recorded as an adjustment in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the period in which the ineffectiveness occurs. The Company also performs regression analysis comparing the change in value of the hedging contracts versus the underlying foreign currency sales and purchases, which confirms a high correlation and hedge effectiveness. | |||||||||||||||||
The derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements with the counterparties to the contracts. The following table presents the location and amounts of derivative instrument fair values in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: | |||||||||||||||||

The Company has categorized its financial instruments, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into the three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within the different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. | |||||||||||||||||
Financial assets and liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows: | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1. Financial asset and liability values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for an identical asset or liability in an active market that the Company has the ability to access. | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2. Financial asset and liability values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following: | |||||||||||||||||
a. | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | ||||||||||||||||
b. | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets; | ||||||||||||||||
c. | Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and | ||||||||||||||||
d. | Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | ||||||||||||||||
Level 3. Financial asset and liability values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. | |||||||||||||||||
The valuation of foreign exchange forward contracts was determined using widely accepted valuation techniques. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including forward points. The Company incorporated credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as current credit ratings, to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2015, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety were classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||
The valuation of stock-based liabilities was determined using the Company’s stock price, and as a result, these liabilities are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. | |||||||||||||||||

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | ||
Income Taxes | 6 | Income Taxes |
For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $22,476 (effective rate of 34.8 percent) as compared to $22,567 (effective rate of 30.4 percent) for the comparable period in 2014. The 2015 three-month period income tax expense is calculated using the forecasted multi-jurisdictional annual effective tax rates to determine a blended annual effective tax rate. This rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35 percent primarily because of the projected mix of earnings in international jurisdictions with lower tax rates partially offset by losses in jurisdictions with no tax benefit due to valuation allowances. | ||
The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance pursuant to ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” against a portion of its U.S. and non-U.S. deferred tax asset position at March 31, 2015, as it cannot assure the utilization of these assets before they expire. In the U.S., the Company has offset a portion of its deferred tax asset relating primarily to a capital loss carryforward by a valuation allowance of $20,635. The capital loss carryforward in the U.S. is scheduled to expire in the fourth quarter of 2015. In addition, the Company has recorded valuation allowances of $12,718 relating to non-U.S. net operating losses for a total valuation allowance of $33,353. In conjunction with the Company’s ongoing review of its actual results and anticipated future earnings, the Company will continue to reassess the possibility of releasing all or part of the valuation allowances currently in place when they are deemed to be realizable. | ||
The Company maintains an ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” liability for unrecognized tax benefits for permanent and temporary book/tax differences. At March 31, 2015, the Company’s liability, exclusive of interest, totals approximately $8,091. The Company reduced the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the quarter, primarily as a result of lapses in statutes. The Company accrued an immaterial amount of interest expense related to these unrecognized tax benefits during the quarter. | ||
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income tax examination in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has effectively settled U.S. federal tax examinations for years before 2011 and state and local examinations for years before 2010, with limited exceptions. Furthermore, the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries are no longer subject to income tax examinations in major foreign taxing jurisdictions for years prior to 2008. | ||

On August 6, 2014, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200,000 of the Company’s outstanding common stock pursuant to an accelerated share repurchase program, and the Company entered into a $200,000 accelerated share repurchase program (the “ASR program”) with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank (the “ASR Counterparty”). The Company paid $200,000 to the ASR Counterparty in August 2014 and received 5,567,154 shares of its common stock, which represented approximately 80 percent of the shares expected to be purchased pursuant to the ASR program, based on the closing price on August 6, 2014. Under the terms of the ASR program, the ASR Counterparty was permitted, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the federal securities laws, to separately trade in the Company’s shares in connection with the hedging activities related to the ASR program and as part of other aspects of the ASR Counterparty’s business. | ||
On February 13, 2015, the Company completed the ASR program. Based on the terms of the ASR program, the total number of shares repurchased under the ASR program was based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock, less a discount, during the repurchase period, which resulted in the Company receiving an additional 784,694 shares of its common stock from the ASR Counterparty at maturity. As a result, under the ASR program, the Company paid a total of $200,000 to the ASR Counterparty and received a total of 6,351,848 shares (5,567,154 shares initially received, plus 784,694 shares received at maturity) of its common stock, which represents a volume weighted average price, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the ASR program, of $31.49 over the duration of the ASR program. | ||
On February 20, 2015, the Board of Directors authorized a new program to repurchase up to $200,000 of the Company’s common stock through December 31, 2016. This share repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. Under the program, shares may be repurchased in privately negotiated and/or open market transactions, including under plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. | ||
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, subsequent to the Board of Directors’ authorization, the Company repurchased 313,405 shares of the Company’s common stock under this program for $12,352. As of March 31, 2015, approximately $187,648 remained of the $200,000 share repurchase program. All repurchases under this program were made using cash resources. | ||

The Company’s incentive compensation plans allow the Company to grant awards to certain employees in the form of stock options, stock awards, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance stock units, dividend equivalents and other awards. Compensation related to these awards is determined based on the fair value on the date of grant and is amortized to expense over the vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation expense based on the earlier of the vesting date or the date when the employee becomes eligible to retire without forfeiture of the award. If awards can be settled in cash, these awards are recorded as liabilities and marked to market. | |||||||||

Product Liability Claims | ||
The Company is a defendant in various product liability claims brought in numerous jurisdictions in which individuals seek damages resulting from motor vehicle accidents allegedly caused by defective tires manufactured by the Company. Each of the product liability claims faced by the Company generally involve different types of tires, models and lines, different circumstances surrounding the accident such as different applications, vehicles, speeds, road conditions, weather conditions, driver error, tire repair and maintenance practices, service life conditions, as well as different jurisdictions and different injuries. In addition, in many of the Company’s product liability lawsuits the plaintiff alleges that his or her harm was caused by one or more co-defendants who acted independently of the Company. Accordingly, both the claims asserted and the resolutions of those claims have an enormous amount of variability. The aggregate amount of damages asserted at any point in time is not determinable since often times when claims are filed, the plaintiffs do not specify the amount of damages. Even when there is an amount alleged, at times the amount is wildly inflated and has no rational basis. | ||
The fact that the Company is a defendant in product liability lawsuits is not surprising given the current litigation climate, which is largely confined to the United States. However, the fact that the Company is subject to claims does not indicate that there is a quality issue with the Company’s tires. The Company sells approximately 30 to 35 million passenger, light truck, SUV, radial medium truck and motorcycle tires per year in North America. The Company estimates that approximately 300 million Company-produced tires – made up of thousands of different specifications – are still on the road in North America. While tire disablements do occur, it is the Company’s and the tire industry’s experience that the vast majority of tire failures relate to service-related conditions, which are entirely out of the Company’s control – such as failure to maintain proper tire pressure, improper maintenance, road hazard and excessive speed. | ||
The Company accrues costs for product liability at the time a loss is probable and the amount of loss can be estimated. The Company believes the probability of loss can be established and the amount of loss can be estimated only after certain minimum information is available, including verification that Company-produced product were involved in the incident giving rise to the claim, the condition of the product purported to be involved in the claim, the nature of the incident giving rise to the claim and the extent of the purported injury or damages. In cases where such information is known, each product liability claim is evaluated based on its specific facts and circumstances. A judgment is then made to determine the requirement for establishment or revision of an accrual for any potential liability. The liability often cannot be determined with precision until the claim is resolved. | ||
Pursuant to applicable accounting rules, the Company accrues the minimum liability for each known claim when the estimated outcome is a range of possible loss and no one amount within that range is more likely than another. The Company uses a range of losses because an average cost would not be meaningful since the product liability claims faced by the Company are unique and widely variable, and accordingly, the resolutions of those claims have an enormous amount of variability. The costs have ranged from zero dollars to $33 million in one case with no “average” that is meaningful. No specific accrual is made for individual unasserted claims or for premature claims, asserted claims where the minimum information needed to evaluate the probability of a liability is not yet known. However, an accrual for such claims based, in part, on management’s expectations for future litigation activity and the settled claims history is maintained. Because of the speculative nature of litigation in the U.S., the Company does not believe a meaningful aggregate range of potential loss for asserted and unasserted claims can be determined. The Company’s experience has demonstrated that its estimates have been reasonably accurate and, on average, cases are settled at amounts close to the reserves established. However, it is possible an individual claim from time to time may result in an aberration from the norm and could have a material impact. | ||
The Company determines its reserves using the number of incidents expected during a year. During the first three months of 2015, the Company increased its product liability reserve by $16,065. The addition of another year of self-insured incidents accounted for $12,198 of this increase. Settlements and changes in the amount of reserves for cases where sufficient information is known to estimate a liability increased by $3,867. | ||
The time frame for the payment of a product liability claim is too variable to be meaningful. From the time a claim is filed to its ultimate disposition depends on the unique nature of the case, how it is resolved – claim dismissed, negotiated settlement, trial verdict or appeals process – and is highly dependent on jurisdiction, specific facts, the plaintiff’s attorney, the court’s docket and other factors. Given that some claims may be resolved in weeks and others may take five years or more, it is impossible to predict with any reasonable reliability the time frame over which the accrued amounts may be paid. | ||
The Company paid $20,433 during the first quarter of 2015 to resolve cases and claims. The Company’s product liability reserve balance at December 31, 2014 totaled $178,891 (the current portion of $69,892 is included in Accrued liabilities and the long-term portion is included in Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) and the balance at March 31, 2015 totaled $174,523 (current portion of $69,945). | ||
The product liability expense reported by the Company includes amortization of insurance premium costs, adjustments to settlement reserves and legal costs incurred in defending claims against the Company offset by recoveries of legal fees. Legal costs are expensed as incurred and product liability insurance premiums are amortized over coverage periods. | ||
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2015, product liability expenses totaled $18,701 and $22,502, respectively. Product liability expenses are included in Cost of goods sold in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. | ||
Federal Securities Litigation | ||
On January 17, 2014, alleged stockholders of the Company filed a putative class-action lawsuit against the Company and certain of its officers in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware relating to the terminated merger agreement with subsidiaries of Apollo Tyres Ltd. That lawsuit, captioned OFI Risk Arbitrages, et al. v. Cooper Tire & Rubber Co., et al., No. 1:14-cv-00068-LPS, generally alleges that the Company and certain officers violated the federal securities laws by issuing allegedly misleading disclosures in connection with the terminated transaction and seeks, among other things, damages. The Company and its officers believe that the allegations against them lack merit and intend to defend the lawsuit vigorously. | ||
The Company regularly reviews the probable outcome of such legal proceedings, the expenses expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the insurance coverage, and accrues for these proceedings at the time a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. | ||
The outcome of these pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and an estimate of any such loss cannot be made at this time. The Company believes that based upon information currently available, any liabilities that may result from these proceedings are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. | ||
Stockholder Derivative Litigation | ||
On February 24, March 6, and April 17, 2014, purported stockholders of the Company filed derivative actions on behalf of the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio and the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against certain officers and employees and the then current members of the Company’s board of directors. The lawsuits have been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware and consolidated under the caption Fitzgerald v. Armes, et al., No. 1:14-cv-479 (D. Del.). The Company is named as a nominal defendant in the lawsuits, and the lawsuits seek recovery for the benefit of the Company. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the Company by issuing allegedly misleading disclosures in connection with the terminated merger transaction and that the defendants violated Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by means of the same allegedly misleading disclosures. The plaintiffs also assert claims for waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, “gross mismanagement” and “abuse of control.” The complaints seek, among other things, unspecified money damages from the defendants, injunctive relief and an award of attorney’s fees. A purported shareholder of the Company has also submitted a demand to the Company’s board of directors that it cause the Company to bring claims against certain of the Company’s officers and directors for the matters alleged in the shareholder derivative lawsuits. | ||
The Company regularly reviews the probable outcome of such legal proceedings, the expenses expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the insurance coverage, and accrues for such legal proceedings at the time a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. | ||
These cases do not assert claims against the Company. The outcome of these pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and an estimate of any loss cannot be made at this time. The Company believes that based upon information currently available, any liabilities that may result from these proceedings are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. | ||
Other Litigation | ||
In addition to the proceedings described above, the Company is involved in various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company regularly reviews the probable outcome of these proceedings, the expenses expected to be incurred, the availability and limits of the insurance coverage, and accrues for these proceedings at the time a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. Although the outcome of these pending proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and an estimate of any such loss cannot be made, the Company believes that any liabilities that may result from these proceedings are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |||||||||
Business Segments | 15 | Business Segments | |||||||
In the first quarter of 2015, the Company announced the creation of a Chief Operating Officer position with responsibility for Cooper’s worldwide operations throughout North America, Asia, Europe and Latin America. The Company made this organizational change to provide a more cohesive global approach to the Company’s business and to better leverage the Company’s brands, products and manufacturing footprint around the world. As a result of these organizational changes, the Company evaluated its segment reporting under ASC 280, “Segments.” | |||||||||
Based on this evaluation, it was determined that the Company has four reportable segments: | |||||||||
• | North America, composed of the Company’s operations in the United States and Canada; | ||||||||
• | Latin America, composed of the Company’s operations in Mexico and South America; | ||||||||
• | Europe; and | ||||||||
• | Asia. | ||||||||
North America and Latin America meet the criteria for aggregation in accordance with ASC 280, as they are similar in their production and distribution processes and exhibit similar economic characteristics. The aggregated North America and Latin America segments are presented as “Americas Tire” in the segment disclosure. The Americas Tire Operations segment manufactures and markets passenger car and light truck tires, primarily for sale in the U.S. replacement market. The segment has a joint venture manufacturing operation in Mexico, Corporacion de Occidente SA de CV (“COOCSA”), which supplies passenger car tires to the U.S., Mexican, Central American and South American markets. The segment also distributes tires for racing, medium truck and motorcycles. The racing and motorcycle tires are manufactured in the Company’s European Operations segment and by others. Subsequent to the Company’s sale of its ownership interest in CCT, the medium truck tires have been sourced through an off-take agreement with CCT. Major distribution channels and customers include independent tire dealers, wholesale distributors, regional and national retail tire chains, and large retail chains that sell tires as well as other automotive products. The segment does not currently sell its products directly to end users, except through three Company-owned retail stores. The segment sells a limited number of tires to original equipment manufacturers. | |||||||||
Both the Asia and Europe segments have been determined to be individually immaterial, as they do not meet the quantitative requirements for segment disclosure under ASC 280. In accordance with ASC 280, information about operating segments that are not reportable shall be combined and disclosed in an all other category separate from other reconciling items. As a result, these two segments have been combined in the segment operating results discussion. The results of the combined Asia and Europe segments are presented as “International Tire”. The European operations have affiliated operations in the U.K. and Serbia. The U.K. entity manufactures and markets passenger car, light truck, motorcycle and racing tires and tire retread material for domestic and global markets. The Serbian entity manufactures light vehicle tires primarily for the European markets. The Asian operations have affiliated operations in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). In the PRC, Cooper Kunshan Tire manufactures light vehicle tires and, under an agreement with the government of the PRC, these tires were exported to markets outside of the PRC through 2012. Beginning in 2013, tires produced at the facility have also been sold in the Chinese domestic market. The segment also had a joint venture in the PRC, CCT, which manufactured and marketed radial and bias medium truck tires, as well as passenger and light truck tires for domestic and global markets. The Company sold its ownership interest in this joint venture in November 2014, and the Company now procures these tires under off-take agreements through mid-2018. The majority of the tires manufactured by the segments are sold in the replacement market, with a portion also sold to original equipment manufacturers. | |||||||||
The presentation of the aggregated Americas Tire segment under the Company’s new organizational structure is consistent with the segment reported as Americas Tire in prior years. Similarly, the International Tire disclosure is consistent with the Company’s previously reported International Tire segment. As a result, the Company has not restated its prior year reportable segments as the composition of reportable segments did not change. | |||||||||

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Accounting Pronouncements | Accounting Pronouncements |
Each change to U.S. GAAP is established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of an accounting standards update (“ASU”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). | |
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates. Accounting standards updates not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
Accounting Pronouncements – Recently Adopted | |
Discontinued Operations – In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which requires that a disposal representing a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity’s financial results or a business activity classified as held for sale should be reported as discontinued operations. The amendments also expand the disclosure requirements for discontinued operations and add new disclosures for individually significant dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The standard is effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Accordingly, the Company has formally adopted the new standard; however, the adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
Accounting Pronouncements – To be adopted | |
Revenue Recognition – In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The standard was proposed to be effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. On April 1, 2015, the FASB voted to propose to defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year, and that proposal is subject to a thirty day comment period. The standard permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company has not yet selected a transition method and is currently evaluating the impact the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. | |
Stock-Based Compensation – In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period,” which requires that a performance target that affects vesting, and that could be achieved after the requisite service period, be treated as a performance condition. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant date fair value of the award. This update further clarifies that compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the periods for which the requisite service has already been rendered. The standard is effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
Consolidation – In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which modifies the existing consolidation model, particularly for those entities with a variable interest in other legal entities. The guidance is effective for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and can be applied using either a retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. | |
Debt Issuance Costs – In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. Application of the standard, which is required to be applied retrospectively, is required for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. | |
