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, 2022 (the “2022 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2023.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Effective January 1, 2023, we adopted an accounting standards update which requires disclosure of the key terms of our material supplier finance programs, including a description of the payment terms and assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees, if any, provided for the committed payment to the finance provider or intermediary. In addition, the standards update requires disclosure of the related obligations outstanding at each interim reporting period and where those obligations are presented on the balance sheet. The standards update also includes a prospective annual requirement to disclose a rollforward of the amount of the obligations during the annual reporting period. We will include the rollforward disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024, as required. We have entered into supplier finance programs with several financial institutions. Under these agreements, the financial institutions act as our paying agents with respect to accounts payable due to our suppliers. We agree to pay the financial institutions the stated amount of the confirmed invoices from the designated suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices. Invoice payment terms can be up to 120 days based on industry norms for the specific item purchased. We do not pay any fees to the financial institutions for these progr ams. There are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees associated with these agreements. These agreements allow our suppliers to sell their receivables to the financial institutions at the sole discretion of the suppliers and the financial institutions on terms that are negotiated among them. We are not always notified when our suppliers sell receivables under these programs. Our obligations to our suppliers, including the amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not i mpacted by our suppliers’ decisions to sell their receivables under the programs. The amounts available under these programs were $873 million and $920 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The amounts confirmed to the financial institutions were $598 million and $710 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in Accounts Payable — Trade in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. All activity related to these obligations is presented within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. On October 9, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update that amends the disclosure or presentation requirements related to various subtopics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The standards update was issued in response to the SEC's August 2018 final rule that updated and simplified disclosure requirements that the SEC believed were “redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded.” The new guidance is intended to align U.S. GAAP requirements with those of the SEC and to facilitate the application of U.S. GAAP for all entities. These amendments do not affect the information that is already included in the audited financial statements of entities subject to the SEC’s current disclosure or presentation requirements. The standards update is effective on the respective dates on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of this accounting standards update will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if an indicator of impairment is present. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances warrant such review. Goodwill and intangible assets would be written down to fair value if considered impaired. Goodwill and Intangible Assets totaled $1,010 million and $975 million, respectively, at September 30, 2023, compared to $1,014 million and $1,004 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022. At September 30, 2023, the goodwill associated with reporting units in our Americas, Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”) and Asia Pacific segments was $724 million, $230 million and $56 million, respectively. In the third quarter, we reduced the near-term and long-term outlook of our EMEA segment based on recent business performance and the industry outlook. As announced in the third quarter, we are reviewing various strategic actions to improve EMEA’s operations, including the approved rationalization and workforce reorganization plan. We viewed these events as triggering events and performed a quantitative analysis of the fair value of the EMEA reporting unit. We determined the estimated fair value for the EMEA reporting unit based on discounted cash flow projections. The most critical assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value of the EMEA reporting unit are the projected revenue, projected operating margin and discount rate. Our forecast of future cash flows is based on our best estimate of projected revenue and projected operating margin, based primarily on pricing, raw material costs, market share, industry outlook, general economic conditions and strategic actions to improve EMEA’s operating margin, as described above. Based on our interim impairment test, EMEA had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill, by approximately 15%. The fair value of the EMEA reporting unit’s goodwill is sensitive to differences between estimated and actual cash flows, including changes in the projected revenue, projected operating margin and discount rate used to evaluate the fair value of these assets. Although we believe our estimate of fair value is reasonable, the reporting unit’s future financial performance is dependent on our ability to execute our business plan and to successfully implement the aforementioned strategic actions which we expect will improve our long-term operating margin. If a reporting unit’s future financial performance falls below our expectations, there are adverse revisions to significant assumptions, or our market capitalization declines further or does not improve from the strategic actions we are implementing, this could be indicative that the fair values of each of our reporting units has declined below their carrying values, and therefore we may need to record a material, non-cash goodwill impairment charge in a future period. At September 30, 2023, after evaluating macroeconomic conditions, our market capitalization and our current and future results of operations, we concluded that there were no triggering events and it was not more likely than not that the fair values of our reporting units within our Americas and Asia Pacific segments or indefinite-lived intangible assets were less than their respective carrying values and, therefore, did not have any impairment.
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:
|  | September 30, |
(In millions) |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Cash and Cash Equivalents |  | $ | 1,002 |  |  | $ | 1,243 |
Restricted Cash |  |  | 56 |  |  |  | 79 |
Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash |  | $ | 1,058 |  |  | $ | 1,322 |
Restricted Cash primarily represents amounts required to be set aside in relation to accounts receivable factoring programs. The restrictions lapse when cash from factored accounts receivable is remitted to the purchaser of those receivables. At September 30, 2023, restricted cash was recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2022, $68 million and $11 million were recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.
