Net sales fell 8.7% to $3.88 billion from $4.25 billion as worldwide tire unit shipments declined 11.6% to 34.0 million units amid weaker replacement demand, tougher competition and planned reductions of lower-tier offerings. Segment operating income dropped to $95 million from $195 million, pressured by higher conversion costs, lower volume, tariffs and divestitures, partly offset by $107 million of Goodyear Forward cost savings, lower raw material costs and an estimated $60 million IEEPA tariff refund. Cash from operations was a use of $718 million, reflecting seasonal working capital and $83 million of rationalization payments, while Goodyear ended the quarter with $723 million in cash and $2.98 billion of unused credit availability.
