Dedicated transformation office established to accelerate evaluation and execution of opportunities to improve structural returns and cash generation

AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ:GT) reported third quarter 2026 results today and will host an investor call tomorrow morning, Thursday, Nov. 5, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time led by Mark Stewart, Goodyear's chief executive officer and president, and Scott Deakin, the company's interim executive vice president and chief financial officer.

"While our third quarter results reflected meaningful sequential earnings improvement, our financial performance remains below our expectations. We've made real progress in strengthening our product portfolio and optimizing our manufacturing footprint. But as challenging industry conditions persist, incremental improvements alone won't get us to where we need to be," said Stewart. "To get there, we've established a dedicated transformation office to pursue broader operational and strategic opportunities and to drive structural changes that will allow the business to generate more consistent free cash flow."

Financial Results

Goodyear's third quarter 2026 net sales were $4.5 billion, with tire unit volumes totaling 38.6 million. After adjusting for the impact of the sales of its Chemical business and the Dunlop brand of $177 million, organic net sales increased 1.6% as a result of price/mix benefits, partially offset by lower volume.

Third quarter 2026 Goodyear net loss was $238 million, or $0.82 per share, compared to Goodyear net loss one year ago of $2.2 billion, or $7.62 per share. Third quarter 2026 included several significant items, including, on a pre-tax basis, rationalization charges of $148 million. This significant item, and others, are excluded from adjusted earnings.

Third quarter 2026 adjusted net loss was $31 million, compared to adjusted net income of $82 million in the prior year's third quarter. Adjusted loss per share was $0.11, compared to adjusted earnings per share of $0.28 in the prior year's third quarter. Per share amounts are diluted.

Segment Results

The company reported segment operating income of $174 million in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $287 million from one year ago.

After adjusting for the sales of its Chemical business and the Dunlop brand, segment operating income decreased $57 million. The decrease in segment operating income reflects the impact of lower volume of $77 million, inflation of $69 million, and higher tariffs and other costs of $48 million, partially offset by $90 million of benefits from Goodyear Forward and favorable price/mix versus raw material costs of $76 million.

Business Segment Results

Americas' third quarter 2026 net sales of $2.7 billion were 2.3% lower than the previous year, driven by the sale of the Chemical business. Tire unit volume was flat. Replacement tire unit volume decreased 2.2%. Original Equipment (OE) tire unit volume increased 8.7%, reflecting market share gains.

Segment operating income was $96 million, decreasing from $206 million last year. Excluding the impact of the sale of the Chemical business, Americas' segment operating income decreased $76 million driven by the impact of factory utilization, inflation and other costs, partially offset by Goodyear Forward benefits.

EMEA

EMEA's third quarter 2026 net sales of $1.4 billion decreased 3.7% from third quarter 2025, driven by the sale of the Dunlop brand and lower tire volume. Tire unit volume decreased 6.7%. Replacement unit volume decreased 11.3%, driven by consumer market softness and planned SKU rationalization. OE tire unit volume increased 5.5%, reflecting the 11th consecutive quarter of consumer market share gains.

Third quarter segment operating income was $12 million, decreasing $18 million from the prior year. Excluding the impact of the sale of the Dunlop brand, EMEA's segment operating income increased $5 million, driven by benefits from price/mix versus raw materials and Goodyear Forward, partly offset by inflation, other manufacturing expenses and the impact of lower volume.

These factors include, but are not limited to: our ability to implement successfully our strategic initiatives; actions and initiatives taken by both current and potential competitors; increases in the prices paid for raw materials and energy; inflationary cost pressures; delays or disruptions in our supply chain or the provision of services to us; a prolonged economic downturn or period of economic uncertainty; deteriorating economic conditions or an inability to access capital markets; a labor strike, work stoppage, labor shortage or other similar event; financial difficulties, work stoppages, labor shortages or supply disruptions at our suppliers or customers; the adequacy of our capital expenditures; changes in tariffs, trade agreements or trade restrictions; foreign currency translation and transaction risks; our failure to comply with a material covenant in our debt obligations; potential adverse consequences of litigation involving the company; as well as the effects of more general factors such as changes in general market, economic or political conditions or in legislation, regulation or public policy.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)

This news release presents non-GAAP financial measures, including Total Segment Operating Income and Margin, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS), and organic earnings measures, 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, discrete tax items, impairments, asset sales and certain other significant items.

Organic earnings measures, including organic Net Sales growth, are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the direct impacts of the divestitures of the Dunlop brand and Chemical business from year-over-year comparisons. We believe these measures provide investors with a supplemental understanding of underlying earnings trends by providing comparisons on a constant basis. We completed the sale of the Dunlop brand and our Chemical business in May 2025 and October 2025, respectively.

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.
