Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the “Company,” “Goodyear,” “we,” “us” or “our”) in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2021. On June 7, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the previously announced acquisition of Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (“Cooper Tire”), pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 22, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Goodyear, Vulcan Merger Sub Inc., a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Goodyear (“Merger Sub”), and Cooper Tire. On the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into Cooper Tire, with Cooper Tire surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodyear (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, Cooper Tire, along with its subsidiaries, became subsidiaries of Goodyear. For further information about the Merger, refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 2, Cooper Tire Acquisition.
Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective January 2021, we adopted an accounting standards update which eliminates differences in practice among fair value accounting for investments in equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivative instruments. The adoption of this standards update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Acquisitions | Acquisitions We include the results of operations of the businesses in which we acquire a controlling financial interest in our consolidated financial statements beginning as of the acquisition date. On the acquisition date, we recognize, separate from goodwill, the assets acquired, including separately identifiable intangible assets, and the liabilities assumed at their fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair values assigned to the net identifiable assets and liabilities assumed of the acquired business is recognized as goodwill. Transaction costs are recognized separately from the acquisition and are expensed as incurred.
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all legal entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest generally arises from our ownership of a majority of the voting shares of our subsidiaries. We would also hold a controlling financial interest in variable interest entities if we are considered to be the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which we do not own a majority interest and we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other companies are primarily carried at cost. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash as reported within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
|  | June 30, |
(In millions) |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |  | $ | 1,030 |  |  | $ | 1,006 |
Restricted Cash(1) |  |  | 104 |  |  |  | 32 |
Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash |  | $ | 1,134 |  |  | $ | 1,038 |
(1) Includes Cooper Tire restricted cash of $50 million at June 30, 2021. Restricted Cash primarily represents amounts required to be set aside in relation to (i) change-in-control provisions of certain Cooper Tire compensation plans and (ii) accounts receivable factoring programs. The restrictions lapse as the compensation payments are made or when cash from factored accounts receivable is remitted to the purchaser of those receivables, respectively. At June 30, 2021, $86 million and $18 million were recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. At June 30, 2020, $32 million was included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets.
Reclassifications and Adjustments | Reclassifications and Adjustments Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. In the second quarter of 2021, we recorded an out of period adjustment of $8 million of income related to accrued freight charges in Americas. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2021, we recorded out of period adjustments totaling $20 million of expense, primarily related to the valuation of inventory in Americas. The adjustments relate to the years, and interim periods therein, of 2016 to 2020. The adjustments did not have a material effect on any of the periods impacted.
