Insights

Financial Analyst

Goodyear delivered mixed Q1 results with operating declines offset by strategic progress on asset sales and transformation initiatives that are advancing toward year-end targets.

Goodyear's Q1 2025 results present a complex financial picture that requires looking beyond headline numbers. While the company reported net income of $115 million ($0.40 per share) compared to a $57 million loss in the prior year, this improvement was largely driven by a $260 million gain from the sale of its Off-the-Road (OTR) tire business. The adjusted figures reveal operational challenges with an adjusted net loss of $11 million (-$0.04 per share) versus adjusted net income of $29 million ($0.10 per share) in Q1 2024.

Segment operating income declined 21% year-over-year to $195 million, with deterioration across all regions. The company explicitly attributed this decline to $113 million in unfavorable price/mix versus raw material costs, $56 million in inflation, $33 million from lower tire volumes, and $12 million in unfavorable currency effects. These headwinds more than offset the substantial $200 million in benefits from the Goodyear Forward transformation initiative.

Looking at regional performance:

• Americas: Operating income fell to $155 million with margin contracting from 6.9% to 6.2%, amid a 3.1% volume decline
• EMEA: Shifted to a $5 million operating loss from $8 million profit a year ago, facing increased competition
• Asia Pacific: Operating income decreased to $45 million, though excluding the divested OTR business, the segment's operating margin actually improved by 190 basis points

Strategically, Goodyear has made significant progress in its portfolio optimization, completing the $905 million sale of its OTR business in February and now the $735 million sale of the Dunlop brand. These transactions generated $1.64 billion in proceeds toward the company's goal of over $2 billion from portfolio optimization.

The Goodyear Forward plan is delivering measurable benefits, with $200 million realized this quarter toward the target of $1.5 billion in annual run-rate improvements. Despite current operational headwinds, management has reaffirmed key targets including 10% segment operating margin and a leverage ratio of 2.0x-2.5x by the end of 2025.

A concerning trend is the declining tire volumes, particularly in the replacement market where Goodyear faces pressure from low-cost imports, which grew 10% in the U.S. market during the quarter. However, the company is gaining OE market share in both the U.S. and EMEA, which could position it better for future replacement sales.

While cash flow was negative for the quarter, the company characterized this as consistent with typical seasonal working capital patterns, particularly in accounts receivable and inventory build.

Goodyear Forward drives benefits of $200 million; targets reaffirmed

AKRON, Ohio, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT) reported first quarter 2025 results today and the company will host an investor call tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. eastern time led by Mark Stewart, Goodyear's chief executive officer and president, and Christina Zamarro, the company's executive vice president and chief financial officer. The management team will share insights on first quarter performance and progress on the Goodyear Forward transformation plan.

"Our team kicked off the year by delivering the strongest quarter to date in benefits from Goodyear Forward and advanced our goal of building a high-performance culture that is designed to win," said Chief Executive Officer and President Mark Stewart. "With the sale of the Dunlop brand, we are further optimizing our portfolio while strengthening our balance sheet – a critical component of our transformation plan. We remain committed to our targets, including segment operating margin of 10 percent and leverage of 2.0x-2.5x in the fourth quarter of this year."

Goodyear's first quarter 2025 net sales were $4.3 billion, with tire unit volumes totaling 38.5 million. Goodyear net income was $115 million (40 cents per share) compared to a Goodyear net loss of $57 million (20 cents per share) a year ago. The first quarter of 2025 included several significant items including, on a pre-tax basis, an estimated gain on the sale of the Off-the-Road (OTR) tire business of $260 million, rationalization charges of $81 million and Goodyear Forward costs of $7 million. The first quarter of 2024 included, on a pre-tax basis, rationalization charges of $22 million and Goodyear Forward costs of $28 million. Goodyear Forward costs are comprised of advisory, legal and consulting fees and costs associated with planned asset sales.

First quarter 2025 adjusted net loss was $11 million compared to adjusted net income of $29 million in the prior year's quarter. Adjusted earnings per share was a loss of $0.04, compared to earnings of $0.10 in the prior year's quarter. Per share amounts are diluted.

The company reported segment operating income of $195 million in the first quarter of 2025, down $52 million from a year ago. After adjusting for the sale of its OTR tire business, which was sold in February 2025, segment operating income declined $40 million, driven by higher raw materials. Segment operating income reflects benefits from Goodyear Forward of $200 million, unfavorable net price/mix versus raw material costs of $113 million, inflation of $56 million, lower tire volume of $33 million, unabsorbed fixed costs of $19 million and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $12 million.

First quarter cash flow from operating activities was negative, and in-line with typical seasonal increases in working capital, particularly accounts receivable and inventory.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Financial Tables" for further explanation and reconciliation tables for historical Total Segment Operating Income and Margin; Adjusted Net Income (Loss); and Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share, reflecting the impact of certain significant items on the 2025 and 2024 periods.

Business Segment Results

AMERICAS 

	First Quarter
(In millions)	2025		2024
Tire Units	18.4		19.0
Net Sales	$2,502		$2,588
Segment Operating Income	155		179
Segment Operating Margin	6.2 %		6.9 %

Americas' first quarter 2025 net sales of $2.5 billion were 3.3% lower than last year, driven by declines in replacement volume and the negative impact of changes in foreign exchange rates. Tire unit volume decreased 3.1%. Replacement tire unit volume decreased 3.1%, reflecting USTMA member declines in the United States. Non-USTMA members, generally representing low-cost imported product, grew 10% during the quarter in the United States. Original equipment tire unit volume decreased 3.2%. In the U.S., we outperformed competitors, reflecting significant O.E. market share gains.

Segment operating income of $155 million decreased $24 million from prior year. The decrease was driven by higher raw material and other costs, which were mostly offset by Goodyear Forward and price/mix benefits.

EMEA

	First Quarter
(In millions)	2025		2024
Tire Units	12.3		12.5
Net Sales	$1,277		$1,347
Segment Operating Income (Loss)	(5)		8
Segment Operating Margin	(0.4) %		0.6 %

EMEA's first quarter 2025 net sales of $1.3 billion were 5.2% lower, driven by the negative impact of changes in foreign exchange rates and decreased tire volume. Tire unit volume decreased 2.0%. Replacement unit volumes decreased 3.9%, reflecting increased competition.  Original equipment tire unit volumes increased 3.0%, reflecting significant market share gains.

Segment operating loss of $5 million was $13 million lower compared to the prior year's quarter driven by higher raw material and other costs. These factors were partly offset by Goodyear Forward and price/mix benefits.

ASIA PACIFIC

	First Quarter
(In millions)	2025		2024
Tire Units	7.8		8.9
Net Sales	$474		$602
Segment Operating Income	45		60
Segment Operating Margin	9.5 %		10.0 %

Asia Pacific's first quarter 2025 net sales of $474 million were 21.3% lower, driven by lower replacement volume and the sale of the OTR tire business. Tire unit volume decreased 12.4%. Replacement tire unit volume decreased 21.3%, driven by actions taken to reduce lower margin business and channel destocking. Original equipment unit volume decreased 2.4%, primarily in China.

First quarter 2025 segment operating income of $45 million was $15 million lower from prior year, driven by the divestiture of the OTR tire business. After adjusting for the sale of the OTR tire business, Asia Pacific's segment operating margin grew 190 basis points.

Goodyear Forward

Goodyear Forward is a transformation plan designed to deliver significant margin expansion, optimize the company's portfolio, and reduce leverage to drive substantial shareholder value creation. Goodyear Forward is expected to deliver $1.5 billion in annual run-rate benefits driven by cost actions and margin expansion, segment operating margin of 10%, gross proceeds in excess of $2 billion from portfolio optimization and a net leverage ratio of 2.0x to 2.5x, all by the end of 2025.

First quarter segment operating income reflects Goodyear Forward benefits of $200 million. In addition, on February 3, 2025, the sale of the OTR tire business to The Yokohama Rubber Company successfully closed; gross cash proceeds received at closing totaled $905 million. Similarly, on May 7, 2025, the sale of the Dunlop brand to Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd., was completed; gross cash proceeds received at closing totaled $735 million. Goodyear intends to use the transaction proceeds to reduce leverage and fund initiatives in connection with the Goodyear Forward transformation plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)

This news release presents non-GAAP financial measures, including Total Segment Operating Income and Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS), which are important financial measures for the company but are not financial measures defined by U.S. GAAP, and should not be construed as alternatives to corresponding financial measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Total Segment Operating Income is the sum of the individual strategic business units' (SBUs') Segment Operating Income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Total Segment Operating Margin is Total Segment Operating Income divided by Net Sales as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes that Total Segment Operating Income and Margin are useful because they represent the aggregate value of income created by the company's SBUs and exclude items not directly related to the SBUs for performance evaluation purposes. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures to Total Segment Operating Income and Margin are Goodyear Net Income (Loss) and Return on Net Sales (which is calculated by dividing Goodyear Net Income (Loss) by Net Sales).

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is Goodyear Net Income (Loss) as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP adjusted for certain significant items. Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) is the company's Adjusted Net Income (Loss) divided by Weighted Average Shares Outstanding-Diluted as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) are useful because they represent how management reviews the operating results of the company excluding the impacts of rationalizations, asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation, impairments, asset sales and certain other significant items.

It should be noted that other companies may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP financial measures differently and, as a result, the measures presented herein may not be comparable to such similarly-titled measures reported by other companies. See the following tables for reconciliations of historical Total Segment Operating Income and Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
