Q3 2023—2
LETTER TO INVESTORS
Fellow Shareholders:
Strong execution amid improving industry conditions enabled us to deliver solid operating results during the third quarter. At the same time, we continue to lay the foundation for long-term value creation, led by the work of our board’s Strategic and Operational Review Committee. We look forward to updating you on the committee’s recommendations in a separate call on November 15. In our August investor letter, we indicated that second half 2023 segment operating margin would get much closer to our near-term target of 8% and our third quarter results reflect this trend. Encouragingly, two out of three of our regions – Americas and Asia Pacific – delivered SOI margins above 8% during the quarter. Third quarter segment operating income margin was 6.5% and we continue to anticipate further gains during the fourth quarter.
This was the first quarter in two years where the benefits of price/mix vs. raw materials exceeded inflation, including price remaining a benefit in the quarter. And, importantly, we were able to expand margins in the context of a global tire industry that remains below 2019 levels: consumer replacement industry volumes remained 5% below 2019 on a year-to-date basis while OE remained about 2% lower.
That said, there were signs of improving volume conditions in several of our markets, including the U.S., where industry volume grew 10% over last year, indicating an end to channel destocking that began in late 2022. Demand for travel in the U.S., meanwhile, remained strong, with vehicle miles traveled more than 2% above last year’s level. During the quarter, we continued our strategy to focus on the most profitable segments where we can capture the value of our products, brands and technology in the market.
Our Asia Pacific segment continued to generate momentum, benefitting from a focus on growing in premium segments of the markets – including EVs, SUVs and luxury vehicles. The region recorded the highest quarterly segment operating income in several years and is positioned to return to 2019 earnings levels this year.
The consumer replacement market in Europe, on the other hand, has remained weak, reflecting above-average channel inventory levels driven by softer sell-out trends and an influx of low-cost imports. While our volume performance was solid among Tier 1 competitors, earnings remain below historical levels and are not reflective of what the business can deliver. Current conditions have caused us to lean further into our overall cost structure to improve our competitiveness going forward.
As we do so, we also continue to strengthen our premium tire lineup in targeted market segments, evident in a host of new product launches during the quarter. We continue to be recognized for our product lineup and leading technology. During the quarter, AutoBild – an influential auto publication – designated us as Manufacturer of the Year for outstanding performance in the winter tire category. This recognition follows our award earlier this year as Manufacturer of the Year for summer tires.
Our products have never been stronger and our positioning in the marketplace has never been better. While we expect margin growth again in the fourth quarter, we see significant room for improvement in SOI margin as we move ahead. I look forward to sharing more about our plans next week.
I am proud of everything our team is doing to execute and position us to win. I am excited about Goodyear’s future and our ability to capture value today while positioning for further success in the future.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
Tire Volumes
Tire unit volume in the quarter totaled 45.3 million units, down 2.8% from prior year.
Global replacement volume was lower by 5.3%, driven by Americas and EMEA. The Americas decline reflects the impact of increased low-cost imports in Latin America, the residual effects of the tornado on our facility in Tupelo, MS and continued weakness in the commercial truck industry. These headwinds were partly offset by strong growth in premium segments of the U.S. market. The European result reflects continued channel destocking during the quarter.
Global OE volume increased 5.7%, driven by share gains in Asia Pacific.

Income Statement
Third quarter sales decreased 3.2% compared to prior year driven by the impact of commercial truck industry weakness and lower other-tire related sales (mostly the effect of lower third-party chemical sales). The currency impact increased sales by less than 1%. Revenue per tire increased 2%, excluding the impact of foreign exchange.
Third quarter 2023 net loss was $89 million ($0.31 per share loss) compared to net income of $44 million ($0.16 per share) a year ago. The decrease in net income was primarily due to higher rationalization costs of $153 million, driven by a rationalization and workforce reorganization plan in Europe to improve our cost structure and a plan to change our operating model in Australia and New Zealand to a third-party distribution and retail sales approach.
After adjusting for significant items, our third quarter net income was $104 million, compared to $116 million in the prior year’s quarter.
Adjusted earnings per share on a diluted basis were $0.36 compared to $0.40 a year ago.

Segment Operating Income Drivers
Reported third quarter segment operating income was $336 million, Calculated inflation of ($84) million reflected a global inflation down $37 million compared to prior year. Excluding the impact of the rate of approximately 4%, which was partly offset by $17 million of fire at our Debica, Poland facility and the storm at our Tupelo, MS cost savings. facility, third quarter segment operating income was $347 million.
“Other” changes in segment operating income of ($43) million The impact of lower volume was ($87) million, including ($26) million were driven by a ($23) million net impact from other tire-related from lower sales volume and ($61) million from lower production businesses – mainly lower earnings in our chemicals business during the second quarter to align with industry demand (down driven by lower feedstock pricing. “Other” also includes ($11) million 3.9 million units compared to the second quarter of the prior year). in impacts from discrete events, including ($6) million from the fire Results included benefits of improved price/mix of $22 million and that impacted our Debica, Poland facility and ($5) million from the lower raw material costs of $140 million. Positive price/mix reflected storm that impacted our Tupelo, MS facility. the benefit of price increases over the last 12 months in EMEA and Asia Pacific, partially offset by the negative mix impact related to lower commercial truck volume in Americas.

SBU RESULTS—AMERICAS
Third Quarter Summary
Americas third quarter segment operating margin of 8.3% represents a meaningful inflection from first half operating margin of approximately 3%.
Overall volume in Americas was down 4.9%, driven by the impact of increased low-cost imports in Latin America, the continuing effects of the storm on our facility in Tupelo, MS (0.4 million units) and commercial truck industry conditions.
Before the effects of the storm, our consumer replacement volumes in the U.S. were up 3%, signaling a reversal of recent industry destocking trends. This result was below the industry, reflecting a strategy focused on high-value segments of the market. While the Americas consumer replacement industry forecast for the fourth quarter has been lowered based on stronger than expected U.S. growth in the third quarter, we expect our fourth quarter volume to be the highest of any quarter this year.
Our commercial truck replacement volumes declined 10% on continued industry destocking – better than the industry, which declined 16%. We expect destocking to be largely complete in the fourth quarter.
Net Sales
Net sales in Americas of $3.1 billion decreased by $184 million, or 5.6%, compared with the third quarter of 2022.
Commercial weakness impacted sales by ($93) million, or 2.8%, while lower sales in our other-tire related businesses—mainly third-party chemical sales—impacted sales by ($67) million, or 2%.

Tire Volumes
Overall volume in Americas was down 1.2 million units, or 4.9% below third quarter 2022 levels. Replacement volume was 5.0% lower (1.1 million units), while OE volume was 4.3% lower (0.1 million units).
• The decrease in replacement volume reflects declines in Latin America and the continuing effects of the storm on our facility in Tupelo, partly offset by strong growth in premium segments of the U.S. market. The decrease also reflects weak commercial truck industry conditions.
• Year-to-date consumer replacement share in the U.S. was flat with last year, before the effects of the storm.
• The OE result primarily reflects weaker commercial truck build rates (0.1 million units) given softer trucking industry conditions.

Q3 2023—8
SBU RESULTS—EMEA
Third Quarter Summary
EMEA’s earnings remained below historical levels due to continued industry volume weakness and elevated inflation. At the same time, results also reflect strong price/ mix performance and the benefit of lower raw material costs – which helped drive a sequential improvement in earnings. While consumer replacement industry volumes remained soft on continued destocking (down approximately 5% in the quarter), our market share remained flat versus prior year, including strong Tier 1 performance. Our commercial truck volumes declined 11%, also reflecting weak industry conditions and increased competition from low-cost imports.
Net Sales
Net sales in EMEA of $1.4 billion increased $16 million, or 1.2%, compared with the third quarter of 2022.
The increase in sales was driven by an increase in revenue per tire of 10%, before the effect of foreign currency, and positive foreign currency translation, partly offset by lower unit volumes of 4.9%.
Segment Operating Income
Segment operating income in EMEA was $22 million compared with $30 million a year ago – a decrease of $8 million.
This result reflects the impact of lower volume, including ($12) million of lower sales and ($23) million of unabsorbed overhead from lower production in the second quarter.
The benefit of price/mix in the quarter was $59 million, driven by previously announced price increases in the region. Lower raw material costs impacted the quarter favorably by $34 million. These benefits more than offset ($45) million of higher costs. Additionally, industry weakness in other tire-related businesses of
($7) million and ($6) million resulting from a fire in our factory in Debica, Poland impacted our results.

SBU RESULTS—EMEA

Tire Volumes
Overall volume in EMEA was down 0.8 million units, or 4.9% below third quarter 2022 levels. Replacement volume was 6.8% lower
(0.8 million units), while OE volume was approximately flat.
• The decline in replacement volume (for both Goodyear and the industry) during the third quarter reflects continued channel destocking.
• OE volume reflects growth in consumer offset by declines in commercial.
Update On Debica, Poland Operations
We previously shared that a fire at our Debica, Poland manufacturing facility on August 20, 2023 significantly damaged a portion of the curing area and caused a temporary shutdown. Tire production is currently at approximately 70% of capacity.
We estimate the negative earnings impact related to the fire during the quarter was $14 million, consisting of $8 million in corporate expense for an insurance deductible and $6 million in EMEA’s segment operating income. We expect an approximately $15 million negative impact to segment operating income in the fourth quarter and approximately $5 million of additional corporate expense.
We expect a full ramp-up by the fourth quarter of 2024 given the lead time to replace the damaged equipment. We will provide an estimated impact to 2024 after we have confirmed the restoration schedule.
We expect that a significant portion of the total business interruption impacts will ultimately be reimbursed by our insurance after the claim is complete.
Update on European Cost Structure Review
In addition to manufacturing footprint actions shared in the second quarter, we announced a plan during the third quarter to streamline our operating structure in EMEA, improve our competitive position and drive growth.
The most recently announced plan includes streamlining the EMEA segment around two product business units, simplifying customer-facing teams, centralizing corporate functions, better utilizing our shared services organization and consolidating R&D across EMEA.
The actions, which remain subject to required consultation with relevant stakeholders, are expected to result in $30 million to $35 million of year-over-year savings in 2024 and approximately $100 million of run-rate savings by 2025 (from a 2022 baseline).

SBU RESULTS—ASIA PACIFIC
Third Quarter Summary
Asia Pacific results reflect continued growth in volume and segment
operating income, driven by China. Strong volume and continued
benefits from price/mix versus raw material and other cost increases
drove operating margin to 8.6% in the quarter – the highest level since
before the pandemic.
OE fitment wins geared toward premium vehicles, including EVs,
drove the strong volume performance. Our overall product positioning,
together with our aligned distribution model in consumer replacement,
will enable us to continue our growth momentum.

Go-to-Market Strategy Update
Earlier in the quarter, we shared a plan to simplify our
go-to-market strategy and improve the profitability of our
business in Australia and New Zealand. The proposed plan
will change the Company’s operating model in these
countries to a third-party distribution and retail sales
model instead of a company-owned approach. These
changes will allow us to better serve our customers while
improving our cost structure in those markets.
The proposed plan will lead to the exit of 9 warehouse
locations and the sale or exit of approximately 100 retail
and fleet store locations.
This action is expected to deliver $50 million to $55 million
of improved segment operating income in 2025 and
annually thereafter, primarily through a reduction of
selling, administrative and general expenses.

Fourth Quarter 2023
Since our last update, our fourth quarter results are expected to be
negatively impacted by a fire in our factory in Poland (~$20 million
discrete impact). Despite this development, we expect our fourth
quarter volume to be the highest of any quarter this year and we
continue to expect sequential margin expansion, reflecting strong
price / mix benefits from our strategic focus on more premium,
high-value segments of the market.
Volume
• Global replacement unit volumes are expected to be 3 to 4%
lower than prior year levels. OE volumes are expected to be up
approximately 5%.
• Lower production in the third quarter (4.4 million units below
the third quarter 2022), excluding the impact of the Debica fire,
will negatively impact fourth quarter unabsorbed overhead by
approximately $40 million.
Raw Materials
• We expect raw material costs to be lower than prior year by
approximately $300 million.
Price/Mix vs Raws
• We expect the net benefit of price/mix vs raw materials to be
approximately $250 million. Price/mix is expected to include
the negative price impact from contractual agreements tied to
lower raw material costs, as well as the continuing negative
mix from commercial truck industry weakness.
Net Cost Savings
• We estimate the impact of net cost savings to be approximately
($65) million compared with the fourth quarter of 2022.
Debica Fire Impact
• The fire that impacted our operations in Debica, Poland is
expected to negatively impact fourth quarter segment operating
income by approximately $15 million and corporate expense by
approximately $5 million. While these amounts will be reflected
in operating earnings, the effect will be called out as a
significant item for purposes of our calculation of adjusted EPS.
Tax Rate
• We expect our tax rate to remain elevated for the fourth
quarter, similar to the third quarter, although it will remain
sensitive to movements in income across geographies.
Cash Flow
• Fourth quarter free cash flow is expected to be a significant
source of cash, in line with historical seasonality.
Volume Considerations for the Fourth Quarter
• Expect consumer replacement industry to be down
mid-single digits, with the U.S. down about 1 to 2% and
double-digit declines in Latin America.
• Commercial replacement industry expected to be down
slightly, with destocking trends easing.
AMERICAS
Consumer and commercial replacement markets reflect different
regional dynamics.
• Expect consumer replacement industry in the fourth quarter
to be down low- to mid-single digits compared to prior year.
• Commercial replacement industry expected to be flat to
down slightly, with destocking trends easing.
EMEA
• Expect high single-digit industry growth in consumer
replacement.
• Expect consumer OE growth on industry recovery and
the continuing benefit of new fitment wins.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)
This Investor Letter presents non-GAAP financial measures, including Total
Segment Operating Income and Margin, Free Cash Flow, 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).
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. See the following tables for reconciliations of
historical Total Segment Operating Income and Margin, Free Cash Flow,
Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.
