Goodyear Announces Q3 2025 Results, Completes Sale of Chemical Business

Goodyear Forward delivered $185 million of segment operating income benefits in the quarter. All planned divestitures completed, driving significant deleveraging.

AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ:GT) reported third quarter 2025 results today, and the company will host an investor call tomorrow morning, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 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.

"We delivered a meaningful increase in segment operating income relative to the second quarter in an industry environment that continued to be marked by global trade disruption," said Mark Stewart, chief executive officer and president. "This growth underscores our strong product portfolio and the consistency of our execution under the Goodyear Forward plan, both of which we expect to support further acceleration in our earnings during the fourth quarter."

Financial Results

Goodyear's third quarter 2025 net sales were $4.6 billion, with tire unit volumes totaling 40.0 million. The third quarter of 2025 included several significant items, including a non-cash deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1.4 billion, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $674 million and, on a pre-tax basis, rationalization charges of $21 million and Goodyear Forward costs of $8 million. Including these items, Goodyear net loss was $2.2 billion ($7.62 per share) compared to Goodyear net loss of $37 million (13 cents per share) a year ago.

The third quarter of 2024 included, on a pre-tax basis, Goodyear Forward costs of $25 million and rationalization charges of $11 million. Goodyear Forward costs are comprised of advisory, legal and consulting fees and costs associated with planned asset sales.

Third quarter 2025 adjusted net income was $82 million compared to adjusted net income of $102 million in the third quarter last year. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.28, compared to $0.36 in the prior year's quarter. Per share amounts are diluted.

Segment Results

The company reported segment operating income of $287 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $346 million from a year ago. After adjusting for the sale of its Off-the-Road (OTR) tire business, segment operating income declined $49 million. The change in segment operating income reflects benefits from Goodyear Forward of $185 million, partly offset by inflation and other costs of $137 million, the impact of lower volume of $90 million, and $17 million for the non-recurrence of the 2024 insurance recoveries, net of expenses.

Goodyear Forward

Goodyear Forward delivered benefits of $185 million during the third quarter of 2025. The company expects to achieve approximately $1.5 billion of annualized run-rate benefits by year-end 2025.

Additionally, on Oct. 31, Goodyear completed the previously announced $650 million sale of its Chemical business for cash proceeds of $580 million, net of working capital adjustments, including an adjustment for intercompany receivables, before transaction fees and taxes. The sale of the Chemical business followed the divestitures of the OTR tire business and the Dunlop brand earlier in the year. Total proceeds of approximately $2.2 billion will be used to reduce the company's debt balance.

Year-to-Date Results

Goodyear's first nine months 2025 net sales were $13.4 billion, with tire unit volumes totaling 116.4 million. The first nine months of 2025 included several significant items, including a non-cash deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $1.4 billion, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $674 million and, on a pre-tax basis, a combined estimated gain on the sales of the OTR tire business and the Dunlop brand of $640 million, rationalization charges of $161 million and Goodyear Forward costs of $19 million. Goodyear net loss was $1.8 billion ($6.35 per share) compared to Goodyear net loss of $27 million (9 cents per share) a year ago.

The first nine months of 2024 included, on a pre-tax basis, Goodyear Forward costs of $92 million and rationalization charges of $52 million. Goodyear Forward costs are comprised of advisory, legal and consulting fees and costs associated with planned asset sales.

First nine months 2025 adjusted net income was $23 million compared to adjusted net income of $168 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.08, compared to $0.58 in the prior year.

The company reported segment operating income of $641 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared to $920 million a year ago. After adjusting for the sale of its OTR tire business, which was completed in February 2025, segment operating income declined $234 million, driven by higher raw materials and lower volume. Segment operating income reflects benefits from Goodyear Forward of $580 million, inflation and other costs of $316 million, the impact of lower volume of $193 million, unfavorable net price/mix versus raw material costs of $174 million, and non-recurrence of the 2024 insurance recoveries, net of expenses, of $69 million.

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                                 

Americas' third quarter 2025 net sales of $2.7 billion were 4.2% lower than last year, driven by declines in replacement volume, partially offset by price/mix benefits. Tire unit volume decreased 6.5%. Replacement tire unit volume decreased 8.1%, primarily due to reduced sales as a result of high channel inventories of imported products in the U.S. Consumer original equipment tire unit volume increased 4.1% driven by U.S. market share gains. Similar to the second quarter, the commercial business experienced a sharp contraction in industry demand.

Segment operating income of $206 million decreased $45 million from prior year. The decrease was driven by the impact of lower volume, inflation and higher other costs, and the non-recurrence of 2024 net insurance recoveries of $20 million. These factors were partly offset by Goodyear Forward benefits.

EMEA

EMEA's third quarter 2025 net sales of $1.4 billion were up 4.4% from last year, driven by the positive impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and benefits in price/mix, partly offset by lower tire volume. Tire unit volume decreased 2.4%. Replacement unit volume decreased 8.6%, driven by pre-buy of low-end imports ahead of recently announced potential tariffs in the EU. Original equipment tire unit volume increased 18.7%, reflecting significant consumer market share gains.

Segment operating income of $30 million increased $7 million from last year driven by Goodyear Forward benefits and positive net price/mix versus raw material costs, partly offset by inflation and other costs.

ASIA PACIFIC

Asia Pacific's third quarter 2025 net sales of $501 million were 18.9% lower than the previous year, driven by the sale of the OTR tire business and lower volume. Tire unit volume decreased 9.2%. Replacement tire unit volume decreased 9.7%, driven by Japan and Australia. Original equipment unit volume decreased 8.8%, driven by customer mix in China.

Third quarter 2025 segment operating income of $51 million was $21 million lower than prior year, driven by the impact of lower volume and the sale of the OTR tire business, partly offset by Goodyear Forward benefits.

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 the Goodyear Forward plan and our other 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. 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. In addition, any forward-looking statements represent our estimates only as of today and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, even if our estimates change.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

This news release reflects revised prior period financial information to correct an accounting error related to the historic computation of currency remeasurement for our foreign operations in Turkey. We evaluated the errors and determined that the related impacts were not material in any previously issued annual or interim financial statements. See Notes 1 and 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2025, filed on August 8, 2025, for revised financial information reflecting the corrections to prior periods.

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.
