TO OUR INVESTORS The 125th anniversary of Goodyear’s founding in August offers an incredible opportunity to reflect on our rich legacy of trusted products and services, dedicated associates, loyal customers and industry-leading innovations. It is also an opportunity to reflect on how we are paving the way as an industry leader for the next 125 years. In the near-term, our focus is on driving strong operating results as we move through the second half of the year. While industry volumes in the second quarter were significantly more challenging than expected, we continue to expect to achieve second half segment operating margin that should bring us much closer to our near-term target of 8%. Our second quarter results were marked by weak demand in Americas and EMEA, given consumer replacement channel destocking. As context, our second quarter volume was well below normalized levels, with unit volume 16% below 2019. Additionally, the U.S. and European commercial replacement industry weakened considerably in the quarter as freight ton miles and utilization drove channel destocking, resulting in lower overall mix in our business. There continues to be signs our second half results will be much stronger. This is consistent with an environment where moderating inflation and falling raw material costs can drive meaningful margin expansion. Another positive sign is that June was the first month this year where the U.S. consumer replacement industry saw growth. Importantly, industry pricing has remained solid. Demand for travel in the U.S. continued to grow with miles driven up more than 2% year-to-date. Inventory of Goodyear-branded consumer products across the channels declined 14% since the end of 2022, supporting a view for U.S. consumer tire sell-in growth during the second half of the year. In addition to these positive industry trends, we are also undertaking a review of our cost structure to fundamentally streamline our business and improve our competitive position. Through this board-led review (and with the help of a leading consultant), we expect to drive both substantial efficiency and growth. The savings we have identified and will continue to identify are specific, significant and actionable. We will have more to say when we provide the results of that review in the coming months. As you know, cost savings actions are already underway. To help improve our margins in EMEA over the long-term, we are moving with urgency on our previously announced footprint and SAG cost structure review in Europe. While work is ongoing, we announced a plan during the quarter to reduce production capacity at our Fulda, Germany facility in support of our goal to reduce consumer tire conversion cost in the region. Our Asia Pacific segment, meanwhile, is benefitting from a recovery in replacement volume in China. Similarly, our OE business there is performing well thanks to the industry recovery and the benefit of new fitment wins geared toward luxury, SUV and electric vehicles. The outlook for the region remains positive. Taken together, improving industry demand, along with actions to improve costs, support margin expansion reflective of the underlying earnings power of our business. I am confident our teams will deliver against our objective to create value not only at this stage of the market cycle, but sustainably for years to come. On behalf of generations of dedicated Goodyear associates who have served our customers and consumers for 125 years, thank you for your continued support and trust. Richard J. Kramer Chairman, Chief Executive Officer & President Board-Led Strategic and Operational Review We recently made an announcement with respect to the cooperation agreement with Elliott Investment Management L.P. Following constructive engagement, we are pleased that the outcome is consistent with our goals and objectives. As part of the agreement, we added three new independent, highly qualified directors to our board who will bring extensive public company executive and industry experience. Additionally, we also formed a new strategic and operational review committee. Together these actions will help to drive our strategic goals and streamline our operations.

SUMMARY Reflections on the Quarter Heading into the second quarter, we expected sequential quarterly improvement in our earnings. Instead, our second quarter segment operating income (“SOI”) was essentially flat with our first quarter results. Our results differed from our expectations primarily due to two key industry trends: 1) Weaker industry volume in consumer replacement, particularly in Western markets, and 2) Weaker commercial truck industry which negatively impacted mix by ~$60 million. Overall price/mix was below our forecast as a result of commercial truck mix and lower volume. Americas • Volume was 2.5 million units lower year-over-year, reflecting continued channel inventory destocking and the effects of the tornado that impacted our facility in Tupelo, MS in early April (negative impact to volume of ~1 million units and SOI of ~$50 million). Americas consumer replacement industry volume was down over 9%, weaker than expected. Excluding the impact of Tupelo, Americas consumer replacement share outperformed the industry. • In addition, recent pronounced weakness in the commercial replacement industry, which was down 21% year-over-year in the quarter (and a significant worsening of the trend we saw in the first quarter) due to accelerated channel destocking, negatively impacted Americas results. This resulted in a quarter where the region was not able to fully offset raw material and other cost inflation with price/mix (unlike what we achieved in most quarters over the last two years). Asia Pacific • While Asia Pacific’s volume grew ~0.4 million units in the quarter, planned volume growth was significantly higher. This was primarily driven by consumer OE volume, where one of our major OE customers delayed a vehicle launch during the quarter (pushed from Q2 to Q3). The vehicle (and our fitment supply) successfully launched in July. EMEA • Volume was affected by negative industry and share trends in consumer and commercial replacement, resulting in 2.7 million units lower year-over-year. Consumer replacement market demand was significantly weaker than we expected (ETRMA members down 12%) in Q2, reflecting continued strong destocking and weak consumer replacement trends. Industry sell-out to consumers declined 4% versus last year, compared with ~flat in Q1. • EMEA’s consumer replacement volume trended below the industry, given a very strong comparable in the second quarter last year and elevated imports. We had planned for share loss in the quarter given last year’s outperformance. • Similar to Americas, the commercial replacement industry was also weaker than we expected and declined over 15% year-over-year, with imports outperforming ETRMA members. Outlook Based on first half trends, we have downgraded our industry outlook in the second half for both consumer replacement and commercial replacement. At the same time, we expect lower costs in the second half than we had previously shared. We continue to expect to achieve segment operating margin in the second half that should bring us much closer to our near-term target of 8%. Additionally, we expect two of our three business units—Americas and Asia Pacific—to record meaningful improvements in margin and exit the year with solid earnings heading into 2024.

FINANCIAL RESULTS Income Statement Second quarter sales decreased 6.6% compared to prior year, driven by lower volume and the impact of foreign exchange, partly offset by strong price/mix. Revenue per tire increased 6% excluding the impact of foreign exchange. Tire unit volume in the quarter totaled 40.8 million units, down 10.7% from prior year levels. The stronger U.S. dollar reduced sales by approximately 2%. Second quarter 2023 net loss was $208 million ($0.73 per share loss) compared to net income of $166 million ($0.58 per share) a year ago. The decrease in net income was primarily due to lower sales volume and higher other expense, driven by lower net gains on asset sales and higher pension costs. After adjusting for significant items, our second quarter net loss was $97 million, compared to $142 million of net income in the prior year’s quarter. Lower adjusted net income primarily reflects reduced segment operating income ($124 million compared to $364 million a year ago). Adjusted earnings per share on a diluted basis were a loss of $0.34 compared to income of $0.50 a year ago.

FINANCIAL RESULTS Segment Operating Income Drivers Reported second quarter segment operating income was $124 million, down $240 million compared to prior year. The impact of lower volume was ($148) million, including ($94) million from lower sales volume (3.8 million units, excluding Tupelo-related volume of ~1 million units) and ($54) million from lower production during the first quarter (down 3.7 million units compared to the first quarter of the prior year) to align with industry demand. The benefits from price/mix of $219 million more than offset raw material cost increases of $98 million – a net benefit of $121 million. The net benefit of price/mix versus raw material costs offset most of the impact related to cost inflation and other cost increases, which totaled ($153) million. Strong price/mix reflected the benefit of price increases over the last 12 months in each of our business units, although was lower than we expected given a negative impact of approximately $60 million related to lower commercial truck volume. Price/mix also includes the benefit of contractual raw material index agreements with original equipment and fleet customers. Calculated inflation of ($102) million reflected a global inflation rate of ~5%. “Efficiency, Excess Inflation and Other Cost Increases” of ($51) million primarily reflects increases in the cost of transportation, energy and wages that exceeded calculated inflation rates. The total of inflation and other cost increases in the quarter primarily included higher manufacturing wages of $101 million, energy costs of $23 million and transportation costs of $11 million. Nearly all of the increases in energy and transportation costs were in EMEA. The impact of foreign currency translation from a stronger U.S. dollar was ($14) million during the period. “Other” changes in segment operating income of ($46) million were driven by a ($50) million net impact from the Tupelo storm, including the impact of 1 million lower unit volume and factory costs (e.g., wages, utilities, and fixed costs) incurred in the quarter. As a reminder, we expect that a significant portion of the business interruption impacts will ultimately be reimbursed by our insurance after the claim is complete. The synergies of the Cooper Tire combination during the quarter totaled approximately $36 million compared with the second quarter of last year, bringing us to our anticipated mid-2023 run-rate target of $250 million. These savings helped offset higher inflation, included in the results above. Segment Operating Income Second Quarter 2023 versus 2022 Terms: $ in millions Letter to Investors Summary Financial Results SBU Results Outlook Enabling Mobility End Notes Disclosures Reference Tables

FINANCIAL RESULTS Balance Sheet and Cash Flows At the end of the second quarter, total debt was $8.8 billion compared to $8.4 billion at the same time last year. Net debt was $7.8 billion, compared to $7.2 billion at the end of the second quarter 2022. Cash flows from operating activities for the second quarter was a source of $341 million compared with a source of $178 million in the prior year driven by improvements in working capital, partly offset by lower earnings. Cash flows from investing activities for the quarter included $66 million of cash proceeds from the sale and leaseback of a warehouse in California as part of a plan to consolidate legacy Goodyear and Cooper warehouses to improve efficiency and customer service. We are pursuing additional opportunities to monetize other similar real estate assets through the end of the year.

SBU RESULTS AMERICAS Second Quarter Summary Second quarter results were impacted by softer industry volume, the ongoing effects of inflation, and the storm-related interruption of operations at Tupelo. Americas consumer replacement volume declined approximately 13%, driven by a strong comparable period, channel destocking, and the Tupelo storm. Before the impact of the Tupelo storm, consumer replacement declined 7%—outperforming the industry, which was down 9%. Our commercial truck volumes declined approximately 15% (0.3 million units) – better than the industry, which was down 19%. Net Sales Net sales in Americas of $2.9 billion decreased by $208 million, or 6.6%, compared with the second quarter of 2022. The decline in sales was driven by 10.9% lower tire volume, partly offset by a 5% increase in revenue per tire (excluding foreign currency). Segment Operating Income Segment operating income in Americas was $103 million compared with $293 million a year ago a decrease of $190 million. This result reflects the impact of lower volume, including ($43) million of lower sales volume and ($43) million of unabsorbed overhead from lower production in the first quarter. Results also reflect the impact of storm-related disruption at our Tupelo factory of ($50) million. Price/mix benefits of $27 million offset raw material cost increases of $23 million. Price/mix results include continued pricing strength in our consumer replacement business, reflective of our value proposition. These benefits were substantially offset by weaker commercial business results, driven by the mix effect of lower volume in a soft industry environment. Inflation and other cost increases totaled $67 million. Letter to Investors Summary Financial Results SBU Results Outlook Enabling Mobility End Notes Disclosures Reference Tables

SBU RESULTS AMERICAS Tire Volumes Overall volume in Americas was down 2.5 million units, or 10.9% below second quarter 2022 levels. Consumer and commercial replacement volume combined was 12.8% lower (2.5 million units), while OE volume was approximately flat. • The decline in replacement volume (for both Goodyear and the industry) during the second quarter primarily reflects comparison to a strong second quarter 2022 and channel destocking, as well as the negative impact of the Tupelo storm (approximately 1 million units). • The OE result reflects stabilizing auto production compared to a strong first half recovery last year. The industry remains below 2019 levels. TIRE UNITS Sell-Out Activity U.S. industry retail sales to end consumers (i.e., “sell out”) were up approximately 2% compared to prior year. Goodyear volumes declined but were in line with USTMA members. At the end of the second quarter, U.S. consumer replacement channel inventories of legacy Goodyear-branded products were 14% below 2022 year-end levels and 6% below the end of the first quarter. Channel inventory at the end of the second quarter was healthy and we expect that the majority of the channel destocking for industry members is complete. Update on Tupelo, MS Operations We previously shared that a tornado impacted the manufacturing facility and adjacent warehouse in Tupelo, Mississippi on April 1. We were able to restart production during the second quarter of 2023 and neared full production by the end of July. We estimate the negative impact of the Tupelo storm on sales in Americas during the quarter was $77 million and on earnings was $64 million ($50 million Americas segment operating income and $14 million of corporate expense for an insurance deductible). We expect that a significant portion of the business interruption impacts will ultimately be reimbursed by our insurance after the claim is complete. Letter to Investors Summary Financial Results SBU Results Outlook Enabling Mobility End Notes Disclosures Reference Tables

SBU RESULTS EMEA Second Quarter Summary Second quarter results were driven by persistently weak consumer replacement industry conditions as a result of a high comparable last year and continued channel destocking. In addition, unit volume was impacted by accelerating commercial replacement industry declines driven by destocking. Our commercial truck volumes declined approximately 22% (0.3 million units). Results included continued benefits from strong price/mix, which exceeded raw material and other cost increases. Net Sales Net sales in EMEA of $1.3 billion decreased $156 million, or 10.4%, compared with the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in sales was driven by lower unit volumes of 19.1% and the impact of currency devaluation of 3%, partly offset by an increase in revenue per tire of 14% (excluding foreign currency). Segment Operating Income Segment operating loss in EMEA was $19 million compared with segment operating income of $52 million a year ago – a decrease of $71 million. This result reflects the impact of lower volume, including ($56) million of lower sales and ($10) million of unabsorbed overhead from lower production in the first quarter. Price/mix benefits of $152 million more than offset raw material cost increases of $57 million and inflation and other cost increases, which totaled $80 million. The translation impact of a stronger U.S. dollar totaled ($8) million. Letter to Investors Summary Financial Results SBU Results Outlook Enabling Mobility End Notes Disclosures Reference Tables

SBU RESULTS EMEA Tire Volumes Overall volume in EMEA was down 2.7 million units, or 19.1% below second quarter 2022 levels. Consumer and commercial replacement volume combined was 26.7% lower (3.0 million units), while OE volume increased 9.2%, or 0.3 million units. • The decline in replacement volume (for both Goodyear and the industry) during the second quarter primarily reflects a high comparable and channel destocking. • The growth in the OE tire business primarily reflected ongoing recovery in auto production and ramp-up of new fitments. TIRE UNITS Sell-Out Activity Industry retail sales to end consumers (i.e., “sell out”) were down approximately 4% during the quarter. Goodyear sell-out volumes during the quarter declined more than the industry after above-industry performance during the first half of 2022. At the end of the second quarter, European consumer replacement channel inventories of legacy Goodyear-branded products were down 11% compared with a year ago. This compares with overall inventories up 14% on a year-over-year basis at the end of the first quarter. While inventory is lower compared to last year, we expect additional destocking of winter and summer tires during the third quarter. Review of European Cost Structure We previously shared that we have launched a review of our European cost structure, including potential savings from business transformation initiatives and actions we could take to improve our manufacturing cost. This review was necessitated by the weakening economic and industry environment in Europe. We are making progress on our manufacturing footprint review in EMEA with a goal to reduce our consumer tire conversion cost per tire by ~$3.00 in the region over the next five years (from a 2022 baseline). To this end, we approved a plan in the second quarter to reduce production capacity at our Fulda, Germany tire manufacturing facility by approximately 50%. This action is expected to deliver $30 million of annualized SOI benefit to the region beginning in mid-2024. The plan remains subject to required consultation with relevant stakeholders. See the Form 8-K disclosure here for additional details. We will update you on our progress, including actions coming out of our board-led review, as we continue to improve business results in EMEA.

SBU RESULTS ASIA PACIFIC Second Quarter Summary Asia Pacific results reflect growth in revenue and segment operating income compared to the prior year, driven by China. Results included continued benefits from strong price/mix above raw material and other cost increases. As mentioned in our first quarter investor letter, we expect Asia Pacific’s 2023 earnings to return to 2019 levels, bolstered by a consumer OE portfolio geared toward luxury, SUV and electric vehicle fitments, an aligned distribution model in consumer replacement and several new product launches slated for the second half that will continue driving improvements in mix and profitability. Net Sales Net sales in Asia Pacific of $587 million increased $19 million, or 3.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. The sales increase reflects a 5.8% increase in tire volume and a 4% increase in revenue per tire (excluding foreign currency), partly offset by the impact of currency devaluation of 6%. NET SALES Segment Operating Income Segment operating income in Asia Pacific was $40 million compared with $19 million a year ago – an increase of $21 million. This result reflects price/mix benefits of $40 million, which more than offset raw material cost increases of $18 million and other cost increases of $6 million. The impact of higher volume in the quarter was $5 million. SEGMENT OPERATING INCOME Letter to Investors Summary Financial Results SBU Results Outlook Enabling Mobility End Notes Disclosures Reference Tables

SBU RESULTS ASIA PACIFIC Tire Volumes Overall volume in Asia Pacific was up 0.4 million units in the quarter, or 5.8% above 2022 levels. Replacement volume increased 3.6% (0.1 million units), while OE volume increased 9.2% (or 0.3 million units). • This result reflected recovery in the China consumer replacement industry and in OEM production after COVID-related impacts last year. TIRE UNITS Letter to Investors Summary Financial Results SBU Results Outlook Enabling Mobility End Notes Disclosures Reference Tables

OUTLOOK Third Quarter 2023 Third quarter volumes should be helped by improving comparisons. We expect the third quarter to be the first this year where the net effect of price/mix, raw material costs and inflation will be positive. Volume • Overall unit volumes are expected to be lower than prior year levels with replacement volumes down 3-4% assuming an Americas consumer industry down ~3% and European consumer industry down ~5%. OE volumes are expected to be approximately flat to last year. • Lower production in the second quarter, excluding Tupelo, totaling 3.9 million units (of which 0.5 million are commercial) will negatively impact third quarter unabsorbed overhead. The impact of unabsorbed overhead in the fourth quarter from additional production cuts in the third quarter is expected to be ~($15) million. Raw Materials • We expect raw material costs to be lower than prior year by approximately $125 million. Price/Mix vs Raws • We expect the net benefit of price/mix vs raw materials to be $100 million. This includes raw material benefits partly offset by the net of favorable price carryover in consumer and mix declines related to lower commercial truck volume. Other Input Costs • We estimate the impact from non-raw material inflation in the third quarter to be approximately ($80) million compared with the third quarter 2022. Tax Rate • We expect our tax rate to remain elevated for the third quarter, although it will remain sensitive to movements in income across geographies. Cash Flow • Third quarter free cash flow is expected to be a use of cash, in line with historical seasonality. Volume Considerations for the Second Half Consumer and commercial replacement markets reflect different regional dynamics. AMERICAS • Expect consumer replacement industry weakness with North America flat to slightly up and double-digit declines in Latin America in the third quarter; Americas consumer replacement industry expected to be approximately flat in the fourth quarter • Commercial replacement industry impacted by continued destocking, although less than in Q2 EMEA • Expect volume softness in consumer replacement to continue in the third quarter given continued destocking; expect the industry in the fourth quarter to be up 2-4% • Commercial replacement industry impacted by continued destocking, although less than in Q2 ASIA PACIFIC • Expect industry growth in consumer replacement given continued recovery • Consumer OE growth on industry recovery and benefit of new fitment wins Letter to Investors Summary Financial Results SBU Results Outlook Enabling Mobility End Notes Disclosures Reference Tables

OUTLOOK 2023 – Other Financial Assumptions Overall costs have declined since our May investor update, including ~$75 million in raw materials and ~$70 million in other costs.

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). Free Cash Flow is the company’s Cash Flows from Operating Activities as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, less capital expenditures. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is useful because it represents the cash generating capability of the company’s ongoing operations, after taking into consideration capital expenditures necessary to maintain its business and pursue growth opportunities. The most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is Cash Flows from Operating Activities. 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 non-cash impairment charges, rationalizations, asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation, 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.
