AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ:GT) reported second quarter 2026 results today and the company will host an investor call tomorrow morning, Thursday, August 6, 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.

"We delivered second quarter results in line with our expectations, reflecting continued improvement in Asia Pacific and EMEA," said Stewart. "We're taking actions to improve performance in a competitive environment by strengthening our product lineup, building on original equipment growth across regions, and optimizing our manufacturing footprint. These actions are designed to strengthen our competitive position and deliver stronger profitability over time."

Financial Results
Goodyear's second quarter 2026 net sales were $4.3 billion, with tire unit volumes totaling 36.5 million. After adjusting for the impact of the sales of its Chemical business and the Dunlop brand of $153 million, organic net sales decreased 1.4% as a result of lower tire unit volume.

Second quarter 2026 Goodyear net loss was $204 million, or $0.71 per share, compared to Goodyear net income one year ago of $254 million, or $0.87 per share. Second quarter 2026 included several significant items, including, on a pre-tax basis, rationalization charges of $29 million. This significant item, and others, are excluded from adjusted earnings.

Second quarter 2026 adjusted net loss was $177 million, compared to adjusted net loss of $48 million in the prior year's quarter. Adjusted loss per share was $0.61, compared to an adjusted loss per share of $0.17 in the prior year's quarter. Per share amounts are diluted.

Segment Results
The company reported segment operating income of $36 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $159 million from one year ago.

After adjusting for the sales of its Chemical business and the Dunlop brand, segment operating income decreased $79 million. The decrease in segment operating income reflects the impact of lower volume of $132 million, higher tariffs and other costs of $100 million, and inflation of $53 million, partially offset by favorable price/mix versus raw material costs of $123 million and $95 million of benefits from Goodyear Forward.

Business Segment Results

AMERICAS

Americas' second quarter 2026 net sales of $2.4 billion were 10.5% lower than the previous year, driven by a decline in consumer replacement volume and the sale of the Chemical business. Tire unit volume decreased 8.7%. Replacement tire unit volume decreased 13.0%, reflecting planned rationalization of lower-tier product offerings, lower industry sell-in volume in North America, and increased competition. Original Equipment (OE) tire unit volume increased 8.7%, reflecting market share gains.

Segment operating loss was $10 million, decreasing from $141 million in income last year. Excluding the impact of the sale of the Chemical business, Americas' segment operating income decreased $118 million driven by the impact of lower volume, inflation and other costs, partially offset by Goodyear Forward benefits and price/mix versus raw materials.

In July, the company announced the planned closure of its Fayetteville, North Carolina, facility as part of its strategy to align its footprint with its evolving product portfolio and improve the competitiveness of its manufacturing network in the Americas. This action is expected to generate approximately $90 million of Americas SOI improvement in 2027 and approximately $270 million annually beginning in 2028. Total pre-tax charges are expected to be between $535 million and $565 million, including $190 million to $210 million of cash costs, with the action expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2027.

EMEA

EMEA's second quarter 2026 net sales of $1.4 billion increased 2.1% from second quarter 2025, driven by benefits from price/mix and currency, partly offset by lower tire volume, inclusive of the sale of the Dunlop brand. Replacement unit volume decreased 7.1%, driven by consumer market softness, increased competition and the planned rationalization of lower-tier product offerings. OE tire unit volume increased 8.3%, reflecting the tenth consecutive quarter of consumer market share gains.

Second quarter segment operating loss was $17 million, improving $8 million from the prior year. Excluding the impact of the sale of the Dunlop brand, EMEA's segment operating income increased $20 million driven by benefits from price/mix versus raw materials and Goodyear Forward, partly offset by higher costs, inflation and the impact of lower volume.

ASIA PACIFIC

Asia Pacific's second quarter 2026 net sales of $496 million were 8.1% higher than the previous year, as a result of higher volume and price/mix benefits. Tire unit volume increased 5.3%. Replacement volume increased 6.4% driven by higher consumer demand. OE volume increased 4.2% driven by growth primarily in China and Japan, reflecting consumer OE market share gains.

Second quarter 2026 segment operating income of $63 million was $20 million higher than the prior year driven by benefits from price/mix versus raw materials, Goodyear Forward and higher volume.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information contained in this news release constitutes forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. There are a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control, that affect our operations, performance, business strategy and results and could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the assumptions, expectations and objectives expressed in any forward-looking statements. 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; uncertainty regarding the timing and amount of any IEEPA tariff refund; 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. Additional factors are discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K.

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.
