Quarterly Report for Quarter Ending September 30, 2026 (Form 10-Q)
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
All per share amounts are diluted and refer to Goodyear net income (loss).
OVERVIEW
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the "Company," "Goodyear," "we," "us" or "our") is one of the world's leading manufacturers of tires, with one of the most recognizable brand names in the world and operations in most regions of the world. We have a broad global footprint with 46 manufacturing facilities in 19 countries, including the United States. We operate our business through three operating segments representing our regional tire businesses: Americas; Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"); and Asia Pacific.
Results of Operations
Our results for the third quarter of 2026 include a 3.3% decrease in tire unit shipments compared to 2025 driven by planned rationalization of lower-tier product offerings and market softness. In the third quarter of 2026, we also experienced approximately $69 million of inflationary cost pressures.
Net sales in the third quarter of 2026 were $4,540 million, compared to $4,645 million in the third quarter of 2025. Net sales decreased in 2026 primarily due to the impacts of our divestitures and lower tire volume. These decreases were partially offset by favorable price and product mix.
In the third quarter of 2026, Goodyear net loss was $238 million, or $0.82 per share, compared to $2,195 million, or $7.62 per share, in the third quarter of 2025. The change in Goodyear net loss was primarily due to a decrease in U.S. and Foreign Tax Expense, primarily related to the establishment of a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in the U.S. in 2025, and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in 2025.
Total segment operating income for the third quarter of 2026 was $174 million, compared to $287 million in the third quarter of 2025. The $113 million decrease was primarily due to increased conversion costs of $138 million, driven by the effect of lower tire production on fixed cost absorption and inflation, the impact of our divestitures, including $33 million related to the sale of the chemical business and $33 million related to the sale of the Dunlop brand, excluding the favorable impact of the Dunlop offtake supply agreement of $10 million, higher raw material costs of $29 million, an increase in other costs of $28 million, primarily driven by higher transportation costs, lower tire volume of $16 million, higher Selling, Administrative and General Expense ("SAG") of $15 million, lower earnings in other tire-related businesses of $11 million, primarily related to Fleet Solutions in EMEA, higher net tariff costs of $8 million and the negative impacts of a strike and earthquake in Colombia of $6 million ($6 million after-tax and minority). These decreases were partially offset by benefits from favorable price and product mix of $105 million and our Goodyear Forward transformation plan ("Goodyear Forward") of $90 million. Refer to "Results of Operations - Segment Information" for additional information.
Net sales in the first nine months of 2026 were $12,671 million, compared to $13,363 million in the first nine months of 2025. Net sales decreased in 2026 primarily due to lower tire volume and the impacts of our divestitures. These decreases were partially offset by favorable price and product mix and the positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates.
In the first nine months of 2026, Goodyear net loss was $691 million, or $2.39 per share, compared to $1,826 million, or $6.35 per share, in the first nine months of 2025. The change in Goodyear net loss was primarily due to a decrease in U.S. and Foreign Tax Expense, primarily related to the establishment of a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in the U.S. in 2025, and a non-cash goodwill impairment charge in 2025, partially offset by a gain on the sale of the Dunlop brand and off-the-road ("OTR") tire business in 2025 and higher rationalization charges.
Total segment operating income for the first nine months of 2026 was $305 million, compared to $641 million in the first nine months of 2025. The $336 million decrease was primarily due to increased conversion costs of $458 million, driven by the effect of lower tire production on fixed cost absorption and inflation, lower tire volume of $137 million, the impact of our divestitures, including $95 million related to the sale of the chemical business and $63 million related to the sale of the Dunlop brand, excluding the favorable impact of the Dunlop offtake supply agreement of $21 million, higher SAG of $60 million, higher net tariff costs of $52 million, lower earnings related to other tire-related businesses of $29 million, primarily related to Fleet Solutions in EMEA, and higher transportation costs of $22 million. These decreases were partially offset by benefits from the Goodyear Forward plan of $292 million, favorable price and product mix of $152 million and lower raw material costs of $150 million. Refer to "Results of Operations -Segment Information" for additional information.
On July 30, 2026, we reached a tentative agreement with the United Steelworkers ("USW") on a new master labor contract covering nearly 2,400 workers at three plants in the United States. The agreement was ratified by USW members on August 23, 2026, and will remain in effect through April 28, 2029.
Liquidity
On June 4, 2026, we issued $1,050 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior notes due 2032. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay, redeem or repurchase our 4.875% senior notes due 2027 and our 7.625% senior notes due 2027 at or prior to their respective maturity. Pending such repayment, redemption or repurchase, we temporarily applied the proceeds to repay outstanding balances under certain revolving credit facilities.
At September 30, 2026, we had $812 million in cash and cash equivalents as well as $3,639 million of unused availability under our various credit agreements, compared to $801 million and $4,421 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash used for operating activities was $764 million, reflecting our cash used for working capital of $871 million. Net cash used for investing activities was $441 million, primarily representing capital expenditures of $481 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,171 million, primarily due to net borrowings of $1,209 million, including the issuance of $1,050 million of new senior notes. Refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information.
Outlook
With macroeconomic, regulatory and geopolitical uncertainties pressuring consumer and commercial replacement markets, we expect global unit volumes in the fourth quarter of 2026 to be down slightly compared with the fourth quarter of 2025. Given our production levels in the third quarter of 2026, we expect higher unabsorbed overhead costs of approximately $45 million in the fourth quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.
We expect our Goodyear Forward plan to deliver approximately $110 million of incremental savings in the fourth quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.
Based on current spot prices, we expect raw material costs to be unfavorable by approximately $170 million in the fourth quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025. Natural and synthetic rubber prices and other commodity prices historically have been volatile, and our raw material costs could change based on future price fluctuations and changes in foreign exchange rates. We continue to focus on price and product mix, to substitute lower cost materials where possible, to work to identify additional substitution opportunities, and to reduce the amount of material required in each tire to minimize the impact of higher raw material costs.
We expect inflation and other costs will increase approximately $110 million in the fourth quarter of 2026 compared to the fourth quarter of 2025.
Refer also to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for commentary regarding our outlook on 2026 cash flow; "Forward-Looking Information - Safe Harbor Statement" for a discussion of our use of forward-looking statements; and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2025 Form 10-K for a discussion of the risk factors that may impact our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CONSOLIDATED
Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
Net sales in the third quarter of 2026 were $4,540 million, decreasing $105 million, or 2.3%, from $4,645 million in the third quarter of 2025. Goodyear net loss was $238 million, or $0.82 per share, in the third quarter of 2026, compared to Goodyear net loss of $2,195 million, or $7.62 per share, in the third quarter of 2025.
Net sales decreased in the third quarter of 2026 primarily due to the impacts of our divestitures, including $117 million related to the sale of the chemical business and $116 million related to the sale of the Dunlop brand, excluding the favorable impact of the Dunlop offtake supply agreement of $56 million, and lower tire volume of $75 million. These decreases were partially offset by favorable price and product mix of $153 million.
Worldwide tire unit sales in the third quarter of 2026 were 38.6 million units, decreasing 1.4 million units, or 3.3%, from 40.0 million units in the third quarter of 2025 due to planned rationalization of lower-tier product offerings and market softness. Replacement tire volume decreased globally by 1.7 million units, or 5.8%. OE tire volume increased by 0.3 million units, or 3.1%, driven by Americas and EMEA.
Cost of Goods Sold ("CGS") in the third quarter of 2026 was $3,817 million, increasing $16 million, or 0.4%, from $3,801 million in the third quarter of 2025. CGS increased primarily due to higher conversion costs of $138 million, unfavorable product mix of $48 million, an increase in other costs of $30 million, primarily driven by higher transportation costs, higher raw material costs of $29 million, an increase in asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease charges of $18 million, higher costs related to other tire-related businesses of $12 million, primarily related to Fleet Solutions, higher net tariff costs of $8 million and the negative impacts of a strike and earthquake in Colombia of $6 million ($6 million after-tax and minority). These increases were partially offset by impacts related to divestitures, including $79 million related to the sale of
the chemical business and $83 million related to the sale of the Dunlop brand, excluding increased offtake supply agreement costs of $46 million, savings related to the Goodyear Forward plan of $86 million, lower tire volume of $59 million, and foreign currency translation of $10 million.
CGS in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025 included pension expense of $3 million for each period. CGS was 84.1% of sales in the third quarter of 2026, compared to 81.8% in the third quarter of 2025.
SAG in the third quarter of 2026 was $665 million, decreasing $11 million, or 1.6%, from $676 million in the third quarter of 2025. SAG decreased primarily due to impacts related to divestitures, including $5 million related to the sale of the chemical business, savings related to the Goodyear Forward plan of $4 million and a decrease in asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease charges of $2 million. These decreases were partially offset by increased advertising expenses of $5 million. SAG in the third quarter of 2025 also included costs related to the Goodyear Forward plan of $4 million ($4 million after-tax and minority).
SAG in both the third quarter of 2026 and 2025 included pension expense of $2 million. SAG in both the third quarter of 2026 and 2025 was 14.6% of sales.
We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $674 million ($674 million after-tax and minority) in the third quarter of 2025 related to our North America reporting unit.
We recorded net rationalization charges of $148 million ($143 million after-tax and minority) in the third quarter of 2026 and $21 million ($21 million after-tax and minority) in the third quarter of 2025. Net rationalization charges in the third quarter of 2026 primarily related to plans to close our Fayetteville, North Carolina tire manufacturing facility ("Fayetteville"), reduce manufacturing expenses globally and close our chemical manufacturing facilities in Niagara Falls, New York ("Niagara Falls") and Bayport, Texas ("Bayport"). Net rationalization charges in the third quarter of 2025 primarily related to the plan to close our manufacturing facility in Kariega, South Africa ("Kariega") in EMEA, the elimination of commercial tire production at our Danville, Virginia tire manufacturing facility ("Danville"), the closures of our Fulda and Fürstenwalde, Germany tire manufacturing facilities ("Fulda and Fürstenwalde") and the plan to reduce SAG headcount in Americas and Corporate. For further information, refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 3, Costs Associated with Rationalization Programs.
CGS and SAG in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025 included $71 million ($71 million after-tax and minority) and $55 million ($55 million after-tax and minority), respectively, of asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease charges, primarily related to rationalization activities.
Interest expense in the third quarter of 2026 was $111 million, decreasing $3 million, or 2.6%, from $114 million in the third quarter of 2025. The average interest rate was 6.1% in the third quarter of 2026 compared to 5.7% in the third quarter of 2025. The average debt balance was $7,280 million in the third quarter of 2026 compared to $7,946 million in the third quarter of 2025.
The third quarter of 2026 included net gains on asset sales of $9 million ($6 million after-tax and minority), compared to net losses on asset sales of $1 million ($1 million after-tax and minority) in the third quarter of 2025.
Other (Income) Expense in the third quarter of 2026 was $19 million of expense, compared to $91 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in Other (Income) Expense was primarily due to a decrease in non-service related pension and other postretirement benefits cost of $75 million, primarily due to a pension settlement charge of $68 million ($68 million after-tax and minority) in the third quarter of 2025. The third quarter of 2025 also included transaction costs of $4 million ($4 million after-tax and minority), primarily related to the sale of the chemical business.
In the third quarter of 2026, we recorded income tax expense of $28 million on a loss before income taxes of $211 million. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2026 included net discrete tax benefits of $7 million ($7 million after minority interest). In the third quarter of 2025, we recorded income tax expense of $1,464 million on a loss before income taxes of $733 million. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 included net discrete tax expense of $1,450 million ($1,450 million after minority interest), primarily related to the establishment of a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in the U.S.
We record taxes based on overall estimated annual effective tax rates. The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2026 primarily relates to losses in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in which no tax benefits are recorded and the discrete items noted above. The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was mainly impacted by the establishment of a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets of $1.4 billion in the U.S.
For further information regarding income taxes and the realizability of our deferred tax assets, refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 5, Income Taxes.
There was $1 million of minority shareholders' net loss in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $2 million in the third quarter of 2025.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
Net sales in the first nine months of 2026 were $12,671 million, a decrease of $692 million, or 5.2%, from $13,363 million in the first nine months of 2025. Goodyear net loss was $691 million, or $2.39 per share, in the first nine months of 2026, compared to Goodyear net loss of $1,826 million, or $6.35 per share, in the first nine months of 2025.
Net sales decreased in the first nine months of 2026 primarily due to lower tire volume of $660 million and the impacts of our divestitures, including $361 million related to the sale of the chemical business and $297 million related to the sale of the Dunlop brand, excluding the favorable impact of the Dunlop offtake supply agreement of $151 million. These decreases were partially offset by favorable price and product mix of $267 million and the positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates of $211 million.
Worldwide tire unit sales in the first nine months of 2026 were 109.1 million units, decreasing 7.3 million units, or 6.3%, from 116.4 million units in the first nine months of 2025 due to weakness in the replacement industry, increased competitiveness and planned rationalization of lower-tier product offerings. Replacement tire volume decreased globally by 8.8 million units, or 10.7%. OE tire volume increased by 1.5 million units, or 4.5%, driven by Americas and EMEA.
CGS in the first nine months of 2026 was $10,574 million, decreasing $445 million, or 4.0%, from $11,019 million in the first nine months of 2025. CGS decreased primarily due to lower tire volume of $523 million, impacts related to divestitures, including $250 million related to the sale of the chemical business and $234 million related to the sale of the Dunlop brand, excluding increased offtake supply agreement costs of $130 million, savings related to the Goodyear Forward plan of $262 million, lower raw material costs of $150 million, and a decrease in asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease charges of $49 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher conversion costs of $458 million, foreign currency translation of $167 million, unfavorable product mix of $115 million, other costs of $64 million, primarily driven by higher transportation costs, higher net tariff costs of $52 million, higher costs related to other tire-related businesses of $20 million, primarily related to Fleet Solutions, the negative impacts of a strike and earthquake in Colombia of $13 million ($13 million after-tax and minority), and a charge related to an expected settlement of a prior year tax matter in one of our foreign locations of $8 million ($8 million after-tax and minority).
CGS in the first nine months of 2026 and 2025 included pension expense of $8 million and $9 million, respectively. CGS was 83.5% of sales in the first nine months of 2026, compared to 82.5% in the first nine months of 2025.
SAG in the first nine months of 2026 was $2,036 million, increasing $18 million, or 0.9%, from $2,018 million in the first nine months of 2025. SAG increased primarily due to foreign currency translation of $38 million, other costs of $29 million, primarily related to inflation, and higher advertising costs of $8 million. These increases were partially offset by savings related to the Goodyear Forward plan of $27 million, impacts related to divestitures, including $16 million related to the sale of the chemical business, and a decrease in asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease charges of $6 million. SAG in the first nine months of 2025 also included costs related to the Goodyear Forward plan of $9 million ($9 million after-tax and minority).
SAG in the first nine months of 2026 and 2025 included pension expense of $7 million for each period. SAG was 16.1% of sales in the first nine months of 2026, compared to 15.1% in the first nine months of 2025.
We recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $674 million ($674 million after-tax and minority) in the first nine months of 2025 related to our North America reporting unit.
We recorded net rationalization charges of $281 million ($267 million after-tax and minority) in the first nine months of 2026 and $161 million ($140 million after-tax and minority) in the first nine months of 2025. Net rationalization charges in the first nine months of 2026 primarily related to plans to close Fayetteville, reduce manufacturing expenses globally, close Niagara Falls and Bayport, improve EMEA's cost structure, reduce headcount globally, close the Tall Timbers mold plant in Findlay, Ohio ("Tall Timbers"), reduce global SAG, and close Fulda and Fürstenwalde. Net rationalization charges in the first nine months of 2025 primarily related to the closure of Kariega, the elimination of commercial tire production at Danville, the closures of Fulda and Fürstenwalde, and a plan to reduce SAG headcount in Americas and Corporate. For further information, refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 3, Costs Associated with Rationalization Programs.
CGS and SAG in the first nine months of 2026 included $87 million ($87 million after-tax and minority) of asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease charges, primarily related to Fulda, Fürstenwalde and Tall Timbers. CGS and SAG in the first nine months of 2025 included $142 million ($131 million after-tax and minority) of asset write offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease charges, primarily related to Fulda, Fürstenwalde and Danville.
Interest expense in the first nine months of 2026 was $311 million, decreasing $30 million, or 8.8%, from $341 million in the first nine months of 2025. The average interest rate was 5.9% in the first nine months of 2026 compared to 5.7% in the first
nine months of 2025. The average debt balance was $6,986 million in the first nine months of 2026 compared to $7,930 million in the first nine months of 2025.
The first nine months of 2026 include net gains on asset sales of $29 million ($23 million after-tax and minority), compared to net gains on asset and other sales of $700 million ($628 million after-tax and minority) in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to the gain of $385 million ($367 million after-tax and minority) on the sale of Dunlop brand, the gain of $255 million ($231 million after-tax and minority) on the sale of the OTR tire business and gains on other asset sales of $60 million ($30 million after-tax and minority).
Other (Income) Expense in the first nine months of 2026 was $50 million of expense, compared to $147 million in the first nine months of 2025. The decrease in Other (Income) Expense was primarily due to a decrease in non-service related pension and other postretirement benefits cost of $86 million, including pension settlement charges of $72 million ($71 million after-tax and minority) in the first nine months of 2025, and an increase in royalty and other income of $13 million. The first nine months of 2025 also included transaction costs of $10 million ($7 million after-tax and minority), primarily related to the sale of the chemical business.
For the first nine months of 2026, we recorded income tax expense of $140 million on a loss before income taxes of $552 million. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 included net discrete tax expense of $19 million ($19 million after minority interest), primarily related to an expected settlement of a prior year tax matter in one of our foreign locations. In the first nine months of 2025, we recorded income tax expense of $1,501 million on a loss before income taxes of $297 million. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included net discrete tax expense of $1,446 million ($1,446 million after minority interest), primarily related to the establishment of a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in the U.S.
We record taxes based on overall estimated annual effective tax rates. The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 primarily relates to losses in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in which no tax benefits are recorded and the discrete items noted above. The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was mainly impacted by the establishment of a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets of $1.4 billion in the U.S.
At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had approximately $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, of U.S. federal, state and local net deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances totaling $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we also had foreign net deferred tax assets of approximately $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, and related valuation allowances of approximately $1.3 billion. Our foreign valuation allowances include a $1.1 billion full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets in Luxembourg. Our losses in the U.S. and various foreign taxing jurisdictions in recent periods represented sufficient negative evidence to require us to maintain a full valuation allowance against certain of these net deferred tax assets. Each reporting period, we assess available positive and negative evidence and estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to utilize these existing deferred tax assets. We do not believe that sufficient positive evidence required to release valuation allowances on our U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets will exist within the next twelve months.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") have published the Pillar Two model rules which adopt a global corporate minimum tax of 15% for multinational enterprises with average revenue in excess of €750 million. Certain jurisdictions in which we operate enacted legislation consistent with one or more of the OECD Pillar Two model rules effective in 2024. The model rules include minimum domestic top-up taxes, income inclusion rules, and undertaxed profit rules all aimed to ensure that multinational corporations pay a minimum effective corporate tax rate of 15% in each jurisdiction in which they operate. We do not expect the Pillar Two model rules to materially impact our annual effective tax rate in 2026. However, we are continuing to evaluate the Pillar Two model rules and related developments, including the side-by-side safe harbor package for U.S.-based multinationals, and their potential impact on future periods.
For further information regarding income taxes and the realizability of our deferred tax assets, refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 5, Income Taxes.
There was $1 million of minority shareholders' net loss in the first nine months of 2026, compared to $28 million of net income in the first nine months of 2025, primarily related to the sale of property in Asia Pacific.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment information reflects our strategic business units ("SBUs"), which are organized to meet customer requirements and global competition and are segmented on a regional basis.
Results of operations are measured based on net sales to unaffiliated customers and segment operating income. Each segment exports tires to other segments. The financial results of each segment exclude sales of tires exported to other segments, but include operating income derived from such transactions. Segment operating income is computed as follows: Net Sales less CGS (excluding asset write-off and accelerated depreciation charges) and SAG (including certain allocated corporate
administrative expenses). Segment operating income also includes certain royalties and equity in earnings of most affiliates. Segment operating income does not include net rationalization charges, asset sales, goodwill and other impairment charges, and certain other items.
Total segment operating income for the third quarter of 2026 was $174 million, a decrease of $113 million, or 39.4%, from $287 million in the third quarter of 2025. Total segment operating margin in the third quarter of 2026 was 3.8%, compared to 6.2% in the third quarter of 2025. Total segment operating income for the first nine months of 2026 was $305 million, a decrease of $336 million, or 52.4%, from $641 million in the first nine months of 2025. Total segment operating margin in the first nine months of 2026 was 2.4%, compared to 4.8% in the first nine months of 2025.
Management believes that total segment operating income is useful because it represents the aggregate value of income created by our SBUs and excludes items not directly related to the SBUs for performance evaluation purposes. Total segment operating income is the sum of the individual SBUs' segment operating income. Refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 7, Business Segments, for further information and for a reconciliation of total segment operating income to Income (Loss) before Income Taxes.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
Americas unit sales in the third quarter of 2026 remained flat at 19.6 million units. Replacement tire volume decreased 0.3 million units, or 2.2%. OE tire volume increased 0.3 million units, or 8.7%, reflecting market share gains.
Net sales in the third quarter of 2026 were $2,675 million, decreasing $62 million, or 2.3%, from $2,737 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to the impact of the sale of the chemical business of $117 million. This decrease was partially offset by favorable price and product mix of $42 million and the positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates of $19 million, primarily related to the strengthening of the Brazilian real and Mexican peso.
Operating income in the third quarter of 2026 was $96 million, decreasing $110 million, or 53.4%, from $206 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in operating income was due to higher conversion costs of $96 million, driven by the effect of lower tire production on fixed cost absorption and inflation, the impact of the sale of the chemical business of $34 million, higher other costs of $31 million, primarily driven by higher transportation and net tariff costs, and the negative impacts of a strike and earthquake in Colombia of $6 million ($6 million after-tax and minority). These decreases were partially offset by benefits from the Goodyear Forward plan of $52 million.
Operating income in the third quarter of 2026 excluded net rationalization charges of $124 million, asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease costs of $69 million and net gains on asset sales of $1 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
Americas unit sales in the first nine months of 2026 decreased 4.8 million units, or 8.4%, to 52.3 million units. Replacement tire volume decreased 5.8 million units, or 12.6%, primarily due to weakness in the replacement industry, increased competitiveness and planned rationalization of lower-tier product offerings. OE tire volume increased 1.0 million units, or 8.5%, primarily in the U.S., Brazil and Canada.
Net sales in the first nine months of 2026 were $7,120 million, decreasing $781 million, or 9.9%, from $7,901 million in the first nine months of 2025. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to lower tire volume of $528 million and the impact of the sale of the chemical business of $361 million. These decreases were partially offset by the positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates of $91 million, primarily related to the strengthening of the Brazilian real and Mexican peso.
Operating income in the first nine months of 2026 was $123 million, decreasing $379 million, or 75.5%, from $502 million in the first nine months of 2025. The decrease in operating income was due to higher conversion costs of $307 million, driven by the effect of lower tire production on fixed cost absorption and inflation, lower tire volume of $112 million, the impact of the sale of the chemical business of $98 million, higher net tariff costs of $52 million, higher SAG of $38 million and unfavorable
price and product mix of $37 million. These decreases were partially offset by benefits from the Goodyear Forward plan of $181 million and lower raw material costs of $125 million.
Operating income in the first nine months of 2026 excluded net rationalization charges of $138 million, asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease costs of $76 million and net gains on asset sales of $15 million. Operating income in the first nine months of 2025 excluded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $674 million, net rationalization charges of $76 million, asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease costs of $62 million, and net gains on asset sales of $4 million.

EMEA unit sales in the third quarter of 2026 decreased 0.9 million units, or 6.7%, to 11.1 million units. Replacement tire volume decreased 1.1 million units, or 11.3%, primarily in our consumer business, reflecting planned rationalization of lower-tier product offerings and market softness. OE tire volume increased 0.2 million units, or 5.5%, primarily in our consumer business, reflecting share gains driven by new fitments.
Net sales in the third quarter of 2026 were $1,355 million, decreasing $52 million, or 3.7%, from $1,407 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in net sales was primarily driven by the impact of the sale of the Dunlop brand of $116 million, excluding the favorable impact of the offtake supply agreement of $56 million, lower tire volume of $46 million, and the negative impact of changes in foreign exchange rates of $25 million, driven by a weaker Turkish lira and euro. These decreases were partially offset by favorable price and product mix of $67 million and higher sales in the other tire-related businesses of $10 million, primarily due to Fleet Solutions.
Operating income in the third quarter of 2026 was $12 million, decreasing $18 million, or 60.0%, from $30 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in operating income was primarily due to higher conversion costs of $43 million, the impact of the sale of the Dunlop brand of $33 million, excluding the favorable impact of the offtake supply agreement of $10 million, lower tire volume of $9 million, lower earnings in other tire-related businesses of $9 million, related to Fleet Solutions, higher raw material costs of $9 million, higher SAG of $8 million, and an increase in other costs of $6 million, primarily related to transportation. These decreases were partially offset by favorable price and product mix of $59 million and benefits from the Goodyear Forward plan of $31 million.
Operating income in the third quarter of 2026 excluded net rationalization charges of $18 million, net gains on asset sales of $12 million and asset write-offs, accelerated depreciation and accelerated lease costs of $2 million.

OE tire volume increased 0.8 million units, or 7.4%, primarily in our consumer business, reflecting share gains driven by new fitments.
Net sales in the first nine months of 2026 were $4,090 million, increasing $62 million, or 1.5%, from $4,028 million in the first nine months of 2025. The increase in net sales was driven by favorable price and product mix of $179 million, the positive impact of changes in foreign exchange rates of $127 million, driven by a stronger euro, partially offset by a weaker Turkish lira, and higher sales in the other tire-related businesses of $11 million, primarily related to Fleet Solutions. These increases were partially offset by the impact of the sale of the Dunlop brand of $296 million, excluding the favorable impact of the offtake supply agreement of $151 million, and lower tire volume of $111 million.
Operating loss in the first nine months of 2026 was $4 million, decreasing $4 million from the first nine months of 2025.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operating and financing activities. Our cash flows from operating activities are driven primarily by our operating results and changes in our working capital requirements and our cash flows from financing activities are dependent upon our ability to access credit or other capital.
On June 4, 2026, we issued $1,050 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior notes due 2032. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to repay, redeem or repurchase our 4.875% senior notes due 2027 and our 7.625% senior notes due 2027 at or prior to their respective maturity. Pending such repayment, redemption or repurchase, we temporarily applied the proceeds to repay outstanding balances under certain revolving credit facilities.
At September 30, 2026, we had $812 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $801 million at December 31, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, net cash used for operating activities was $764 million, reflecting our cash used for working capital of $871 million. Net cash used for investing activities was $441 million, primarily representing capital expenditures of $481 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,171 million, primarily due to net borrowings of $1,209 million, including the issuance of $1,050 million of new senior notes.
At September 30, 2026, we had $3,639 million of unused availability under our various credit agreements, compared to $4,421 million at December 31, 2025. The table below presents unused availability under our credit facilities at those dates:

We have deposited our cash and cash equivalents and entered into various credit agreements and derivative contracts with financial institutions that we considered to be substantial and creditworthy at the time of such transactions. We seek to control our exposure to these financial institutions by diversifying our deposits, credit agreements and derivative contracts across multiple financial institutions, by setting deposit and counterparty credit limits based on long term credit ratings and other indicators of credit risk such as credit default swap spreads and default probabilities, and by monitoring the financial strength of these financial institutions on a regular basis. We also enter into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible. By controlling and monitoring exposure to financial institutions in this manner, we believe that we effectively manage the risk of loss due to nonperformance by a financial institution. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will not experience losses or delays in accessing our deposits or lines of credit due to the nonperformance of a financial institution. Our inability to access our cash deposits or make draws on our lines of credit, or the inability of a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations to us, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition or results of operations in the period in which it occurs.
We expect our 2026 full-year cash flow to include capital expenditures of approximately $675 million. We also expect interest expense to be approximately $425 million; rationalization payments to be approximately $210 million; income tax payments to be approximately $175 million, excluding one-time items; and cash contributions to our global pension plans to be approximately $25 million. We expect working capital to be neither a significant source nor significant use of cash for the full year 2026.
We are continuing to actively monitor our liquidity and intend to operate our business in a way that allows us to address our cash flow needs with our existing cash and available credit if they cannot be funded by cash generated from operating or other financing activities. We believe that our liquidity position is adequate to fund our operating and investing needs and debt maturities for the next twelve months and to provide us with the ability to respond to further changes in the business environment.
Our ability to service debt and operational requirements is also dependent, in part, on the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions of cash to various other entities in our consolidated group, whether in the form of dividends, loans or otherwise. In certain countries where we operate, such as China, South Africa, Serbia and Argentina, transfers of funds into or out of such countries by way of dividends, loans, advances or payments to third-party or affiliated suppliers are generally or periodically subject to certain requirements, such as obtaining approval from the foreign government and/or currency exchange board before net assets can be transferred out of the country. In addition, certain of our credit agreements and other debt instruments limit the ability of foreign subsidiaries to make distributions of cash. Thus, we would have to repay and/or amend these credit agreements and other debt instruments in order to use this cash to service our consolidated debt. Because of the inherent uncertainty of satisfactorily meeting these requirements or limitations, we do not consider the net assets of our subsidiaries, including our Chinese, South African, Serbian and Argentinian subsidiaries, which are subject to such requirements or limitations to be integral to our liquidity or our ability to service our debt and operational requirements. At September 30, 2026, approximately $741 million of net assets, including approximately $195 million of cash and cash equivalents, were subject to
such requirements. The requirements we must comply with to transfer funds out of China, South Africa, Serbia and Argentina have not adversely impacted our ability to make transfers out of those countries.
Operating Activities
Net cash used for operating activities was $764 million in the first nine months of 2026, compared to $716 million in the first nine months of 2025. The $48 million increase in net cash used for operating activities was primarily due to $376 million in cash received in 2025 for deferred amounts related to our divestitures, partially offset by a lower use of working capital of $339 million.
The decrease in cash used for working capital reflects a decrease in cash used for Inventory of $274 million and Accounts Payable - Trade of $171 million, partially offset by an increase in cash used for Accounts Receivable of $106 million.
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities was $441 million in the first nine months of 2026, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $663 million in the first nine months of 2025. The $1,104 million increase in net cash used for investing activities was primarily due to cash provided by asset dispositions of $1,332 million in the first nine months of 2025 due to the sale of the OTR tire business and Dunlop brand, as well as other asset dispositions, partially offset by decreased capital expenditures of $168 million.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,171 million in the first nine months of 2026, compared to $92 million in the first nine months of 2025. The $1,079 million increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily related to net borrowings of $1,209 million in the first nine months of 2026, including the issuance of $1,050 million of new senior notes, compared to net borrowings of $97 million in the first nine months of 2025.
Credit Sources
In aggregate, we had total credit arrangements of $10,939 million available at September 30, 2026, of which $3,639 million were unused, compared to $10,525 million available at December 31, 2025, of which $4,421 million were unused. At September 30, 2026, we had long term credit arrangements totaling $10,252 million, of which $3,326 million were unused, compared to $9,707 million and $4,145 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025. At September 30, 2026, we had short term committed and uncommitted credit arrangements totaling $687 million, of which $313 million were unused, compared to $818 million and $276 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025. The continued availability of the short term uncommitted arrangements is at the discretion of the relevant lenders and may be terminated at any time.
Outstanding Notes
At September 30, 2026, we had $5,423 million of outstanding notes, compared to $4,391 million at December 31, 2025.
$1,050 million 8.875% Senior Notes due 2032
On June 4, 2026, we issued $1,050 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior notes due 2032. These notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount and will mature on July 15, 2032. These notes are unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed by our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries that also guarantee our obligations under our U.S. first lien revolving credit facility described below.
We have the option to redeem these notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after July 15, 2029 at a redemption price of 104.438%, 102.219% and 100% during the 12-month periods commencing on July 15, 2029, 2030 and 2031 and thereafter, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to July 15, 2029, we may redeem these notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, prior to July 15, 2029, we may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of these notes from the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 108.875% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The terms of the indenture for these notes, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to (i) incur certain liens, (ii) engage in sale and leaseback transactions, and (iii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications.
$2.75 billion Amended and Restated First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2030
Our amended and restated first lien revolving credit facility matures on May 19, 2030 and is available in the form of loans or letters of credit. Up to $800 million in letters of credit and $50 million of swingline loans are available for issuance under the facility. Subject to the consent of the lenders whose commitments are to be increased, we may request that the facility be increased by up to $250 million.
Our obligations under the facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Our obligations under the facility and our subsidiaries' obligations under the related guarantees are secured by first priority security interests in a variety of collateral. Based on our current liquidity, amounts drawn under this facility bear interest at SOFR plus 125 basis points. Undrawn amounts under the facility are subject to an annual commitment fee of 25 basis points.
Availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on (i) eligible accounts receivable and inventory of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, (ii) the greater of 50% of the appraised value, if any, of our principal trademarks or $400 million, (iii) the value of eligible machinery and equipment, and (iv) certain cash in an amount not to exceed $275 million. To the extent that our eligible accounts receivable, inventory and other components of the borrowing base decline in value, our borrowing base will decrease and the availability under the facility may decrease below $2.75 billion. In addition, if the amount of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the facility exceeds the borrowing base, we would be required to prepay borrowings and/or cash collateralize letters of credit sufficient to eliminate the excess. As of September 30, 2026, our borrowing base, and therefore our availability under the facility, was $270 million below the facility's stated amount of $2.75 billion.
At September 30, 2026, we had $57 million of borrowings and $1 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2025, we had no borrowings and $1 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.
€800 million Amended and Restated Senior Secured European Revolving Credit Facility due 2028
The European revolving credit facility matures on January 14, 2028 and consists of (i) a €180 million German tranche that is available only to Goodyear Germany GmbH and (ii) a €620 million all-borrower tranche that is available to Goodyear Europe B.V. ("GEBV"), Goodyear Germany and Goodyear Operations S.A. Up to €175 million of swingline loans and €75 million in letters of credit are available for issuance under the all-borrower tranche. Subject to the consent of the lenders whose commitments are to be increased, we may request that the facility be increased by up to €200 million. Amounts drawn under this facility will bear interest at SOFR plus 150 basis points for loans denominated in U.S. dollars, EURIBOR plus 150 basis points for loans denominated in euros, and SONIA plus 150 basis points for loans denominated in pounds sterling. Undrawn amounts under the facility are subject to an annual commitment fee of 25 basis points.
At September 30, 2026, there were $204 million (€180 million) of borrowings outstanding under the German tranche, $415 million (€365 million) of borrowings outstanding under the all-borrower tranche, and no letters of credit outstanding under the European revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2025, we had no borrowings and no letters of credit outstanding under the European revolving credit facility.
Both our first lien revolving credit facility and our European revolving credit facility have customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material adverse change in our business or financial condition since December 31, 2024 under the first lien facility and December 31, 2021 under the European facility.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility (On-Balance Sheet)
GEBV and certain other of our European subsidiaries are parties to a pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility that expires in 2032. The terms of the facility provide the flexibility to designate annually the maximum amount of funding available under the facility in an amount of not less than €30 million and not more than €450 million. For the period from October 2025 through October 2027, the designated maximum amount of the facility is €300 million.
The facility involves an ongoing daily sale of substantially all of the trade accounts receivable of certain GEBV subsidiaries. These subsidiaries retain servicing responsibilities. Utilization under this facility is based on eligible receivable balances.
The funding commitments under the facility will expire upon the earliest to occur of: (a) October 18, 2032, (b) the non-renewal and expiration (without substitution) of all of the back-up liquidity commitments, (c) the early termination of the facility according to its terms (generally upon an Early Amortisation Event (as defined in the facility), which includes, among other things, events similar to the events of default under our first lien revolving credit facility; certain tax law changes; or certain changes to law, regulation or accounting standards), or (d) our request for early termination of the facility. The facility's current back-up liquidity commitments will expire in October 2027.
The facility has customary representations, warranties, covenants and Early Amortisation Events. In addition, it is an Early Amortisation Event under the facility if GEBV's ratio of Consolidated Net GEBV Indebtedness to Consolidated GEBV EBITDA for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is greater than 3.0 to 1.0 at the end of any fiscal quarter. This financial covenant is substantially similar to the covenant included in our European revolving credit facility.
At September 30, 2026, the amounts available and utilized under this program totaled $228 million (€200 million). At December 31, 2025, the amounts available and utilized under this program totaled $292 million (€249 million). The program does not qualify for sale accounting, and accordingly, these amounts are included in Long Term Debt and Finance Leases.
Accounts Receivable Factoring Facilities (Off-Balance Sheet)
We have sold certain of our accounts receivables under off-balance sheet programs. For these programs, we have concluded that there is generally no risk of loss to us from non-payment of the sold receivables. At September 30, 2026, the gross amount of receivables sold was $844 million, compared to $892 million at December 31, 2025.
Letters of Credit
At September 30, 2026, we had $218 million in letters of credit issued under bilateral letter of credit agreements and other foreign credit facilities. The majority of these letter of credit agreements are in lieu of security deposits.
Supplier Financing
We have entered into supplier finance programs with several financial institutions. Under these programs, 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 due 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 and we do not pledge any assets as security or provide other forms of guarantees for these programs. These programs 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 impacted by our suppliers' decisions to sell their receivables under these programs. The amounts available under these programs were $899 million and $876 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The amounts confirmed to the financial institutions were $589 million and $551 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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.

Our first lien revolving credit facility contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt or issue redeemable preferred stock, pay dividends, repurchase shares or make certain other restricted payments or investments, incur liens, sell assets, incur restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or to make other payments to us, enter into affiliate transactions, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. The indentures governing our notes also contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur liens, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. Our first lien revolving credit facility and the indentures governing our notes also have customary defaults, including cross-defaults to material indebtedness of Goodyear and its subsidiaries.
We have an additional financial covenant in our first lien revolving credit facility that is currently not applicable. We become subject to that financial covenant when the aggregate amount of our Parent Company (The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company) and guarantor subsidiaries cash and cash equivalents ("Available Cash") plus our availability under our first lien revolving credit facility is less than $275 million. If this were to occur, our ratio of EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense may not be less than 2.0 to 1.0 for the most recent period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. As of September 30, 2026, our unused availability under this facility of $2,422 million, plus our Available Cash of $54 million, totaled $2,476 million, which is in excess of $275 million.
In addition, our European revolving credit facility contains non-financial covenants similar to the non-financial covenants in our first lien revolving credit facility that are described above, similar non-financial covenants specifically applicable to GEBV and its subsidiaries, and a financial covenant applicable only to GEBV and its subsidiaries. This financial covenant provides that we are not permitted to allow GEBV's ratio of Consolidated Net GEBV Indebtedness to Consolidated GEBV EBITDA for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to be greater than 3.0 to 1.0 at the end of any fiscal quarter. Consolidated Net GEBV Indebtedness is determined net of the sum of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $100 million held by GEBV and its subsidiaries, cash and cash equivalents in excess of $150 million held by the Parent Company and its U.S. subsidiaries, and availability under our first lien revolving credit facility if the ratio of EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense described above is not applicable and the conditions to borrowing under the first lien revolving credit facility are met. Consolidated Net GEBV Indebtedness also excludes loans from other consolidated Goodyear entities. This financial covenant is also included in
our pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility. At September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with this financial covenant.
Our credit facilities also state that we may only incur additional debt or make restricted payments that are not otherwise expressly permitted if, after giving effect to the debt incurrence or the restricted payment, our ratio of EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense for the prior four fiscal quarters would exceed 2.0 to 1.0. Our credit facilities also permit the incurrence of additional debt through other provisions in those agreements without regard to our ability to satisfy the ratio-based incurrence test described above. We believe that these other provisions provide us with sufficient flexibility to incur additional debt necessary to meet our operating, investing and financing needs without regard to our ability to satisfy the ratio-based incurrence test.
Covenants could change based upon a refinancing or amendment of an existing facility, or additional covenants may be added in connection with the incurrence of new debt.
At September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with the currently applicable material covenants imposed by our principal credit facilities and indentures.
The terms "Available Cash," "EBITDA," "Consolidated Interest Expense," "Consolidated Net GEBV Indebtedness" and "Consolidated GEBV EBITDA" have the meanings given them in the respective credit facilities.
Potential Future Financings
In addition to the financing activities described above, we may seek to undertake additional financing actions which could include restructuring bank debt or capital markets transactions, possibly including the issuance of additional debt or equity. Given the inherent uncertainty of market conditions, access to the capital markets cannot be assured.
Our future liquidity requirements may make it necessary for us to incur additional debt. However, a substantial portion of our assets are already subject to liens securing our indebtedness. As a result, we are limited in our ability to pledge our remaining assets as security for additional secured indebtedness. In addition, no assurance can be given as to our ability to raise additional unsecured debt.
Dividends and Common Stock Repurchases
Under our primary credit facilities, we are permitted to pay dividends on and repurchase our capital stock (which constitute restricted payments) as long as no default will have occurred and be continuing, additional indebtedness can be incurred under the credit facilities following the payment, and certain financial tests are satisfied.
We may repurchase shares delivered to us by employees as payment for the exercise price of stock options and the withholding taxes due upon the exercise of stock options or the vesting or payment of stock awards. During the first nine months of 2026, we did not repurchase any shares from employees.
We do not have any current plans to pay dividends on our common stock or establish a common stock repurchase program.
Asset Dispositions
Historically, the restrictions on asset sales and sale and leaseback transactions imposed by our material indebtedness have not affected our ability to divest non-core businesses or assets. We may undertake additional asset sales and sale and leaseback transactions in the future. The restrictions imposed by our material indebtedness may require us to seek waivers or amendments of covenants or alternative sources of financing to proceed with future transactions. We cannot assure you that such waivers, amendments or alternative financing could be obtained, or if obtained, would be on terms acceptable to us.
Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information
Certain of our subsidiaries, which are listed on Exhibit 22.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are generally holding or operating companies, have guaranteed our obligations under the $700 million outstanding principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due 2027, the $850 million outstanding principal amount of 5% senior notes due 2029, the $500 million outstanding principal amount of 6.625% senior notes due 2030, the $550 million outstanding principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due April 2031, the $600 million outstanding principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due July 2031, the $1,050 million outstanding principal amount of 8.875% senior notes due 2032 and the $450 million outstanding principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due 2033 (collectively, the "Notes").
The Notes have been issued by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the "Parent Company") and are its senior unsecured obligations. The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured obligations and senior to any of our future subordinated indebtedness. The Notes are effectively subordinated to our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries that also guarantee our obligations under our first lien revolving credit facility (such guarantees, the "Guarantees"; and, such guaranteeing subsidiaries, the "Subsidiary
Guarantors"). The Guarantees are senior unsecured obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured obligations of our Subsidiary Guarantors. The Guarantees are effectively subordinated to existing and future secured indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the assets securing that indebtedness.
The Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future debt and other liabilities, including trade payables, of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes (the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). The Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries will have no obligation, contingent or otherwise, to pay amounts due under the Notes or to make funds available to pay those amounts. Certain Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries are limited in their ability to remit funds to us by means of dividends, advances or loans due to required foreign government and/or currency exchange board approvals or limitations in credit agreements or other debt instruments of those subsidiaries.
The Subsidiary Guarantors, as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, jointly and severally irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee on a senior unsecured basis the performance and full and punctual payment when due of all obligations of the Parent Company under the Notes and the related indentures, whether for payment of principal of or interest on the Notes, expenses, indemnification or otherwise. The Guarantees of the Subsidiary Guarantors are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions.
Although the Guarantees provide the holders of Notes with a direct unsecured claim against the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors, under U.S. federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of U.S. state fraudulent transfer laws, in certain circumstances a court could cancel a Guarantee and order the return of any payments made thereunder to the Subsidiary Guarantor or to a fund for the benefit of its creditors.
A court might take these actions if it found, among other things, that when the Subsidiary Guarantors incurred the debt evidenced by their Guarantee (i) they received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of the debt and (ii) any one of the following conditions was satisfied:
•the Subsidiary Guarantor was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence;
•the Subsidiary Guarantor was engaged in a business or transaction for which its remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or
•the Subsidiary Guarantor intended to incur, or believed (or reasonably should have believed) that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as those debts matured.
In applying the above factors, a court would likely find that a Subsidiary Guarantor did not receive fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for its Guarantee, except to the extent that it benefited directly or indirectly from the issuance of the Notes. The determination of whether a guarantor was or was not rendered "insolvent" when it entered into its guarantee will vary depending on the law of the jurisdiction being applied. Generally, an entity would be considered insolvent if the sum of its debts (including contingent or unliquidated debts) is greater than all of its assets at a fair valuation or if the present fair salable value of its assets is less than the amount that will be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent or unliquidated debts, as they mature.
Under Canadian federal bankruptcy and insolvency laws and comparable provincial laws on preferences, fraudulent conveyances or other challengeable or voidable transactions, the Guarantees could be challenged as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, transfer at undervalue or other challengeable or voidable transaction. The test to be applied varies among the different pieces of legislation, but as a general matter these types of challenges may arise in circumstances where:
•such action was intended to defeat, hinder, delay, defraud or prejudice creditors or others;
•such action was taken within a specified period of time prior to the commencement of proceedings under Canadian bankruptcy, insolvency or restructuring legislation in respect of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the consideration received by the Subsidiary Guarantor was conspicuously less than the fair market value of the consideration given, and the Subsidiary Guarantor was insolvent or rendered insolvent by such action and (in some circumstances, or) such action was intended to defraud, defeat or delay a creditor;
•such action was taken within a specified period of time prior to the commencement of proceedings under Canadian bankruptcy, insolvency or restructuring legislation in respect of a Subsidiary Guarantor and such action was taken, or is deemed to have been taken, with a view to giving a creditor a preference over other creditors or, in some circumstances, had the effect of giving a creditor a preference over other creditors; or
•a Subsidiary Guarantor is found to have acted in a manner that was oppressive, unfairly prejudicial to or unfairly disregarded the interests of any shareholder, creditor, director, officer or other interested party.
In addition, in certain insolvency proceedings a Canadian court may subordinate claims in respect of the Guarantees to other claims against a Subsidiary Guarantor under the principle of equitable subordination if the court determines that (1) the holder of Notes engaged in some type of inequitable or improper conduct, (2) the inequitable or improper conduct resulted in injury to other creditors or conferred an unfair advantage upon the holder of Notes and (3) equitable subordination is not inconsistent with the provisions of the relevant solvency statute.
If a court canceled a Guarantee, the holders of Notes would no longer have a claim against that Subsidiary Guarantor or its assets.
Each Guarantee is limited, by its terms, to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee, as it relates to that Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor is a consolidated subsidiary of the Parent Company at the date of each balance sheet presented. The following tables present summarized financial information for the Parent Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors on a combined basis after elimination of (i) intercompany transactions and balances among the Parent Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors and (ii) equity in earnings from and investments in any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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 are written down to fair value if considered impaired.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets totaled $44 million and $640 million, respectively, at September 30, 2026, compared to $42 million and $663 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025. All goodwill was associated with the reporting unit in our Asia Pacific segment at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized but are assessed for impairment annually on October 31 with the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary or to perform a quantitative assessment by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset to its carrying value. In addition to the annual assessment, impairment evaluation is considered during interim periods when events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the asset below its carrying value. During our annual impairment assessment and in subsequent interim periods, we review events that occur or circumstances that change, including the macroeconomic environment, our business performance and our market capitalization, to determine if a quantitative impairment assessment is necessary. We review our business performance and the macroeconomic environment against our recent expectations and evaluate book value compared to market capitalization, including fluctuations in our stock price, to determine if this could be an indicator of potential impairment. Consideration is given as to whether a fluctuation in our stock price is a result of current market conditions, due to a transitory event or an event that is expected to continue to affect us, or is consistent with our historical stock price volatility. We also consider these factors compared to the results of our most recent quantitative impairment assessment.
Under the qualitative assessment, we assess whether it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than the respective carrying values. If it is more likely than not that an impairment exists, then a quantitative impairment assessment is performed. If under the quantitative assessment the fair value is less than the carrying value, an impairment loss will be recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value. Under the quantitative assessment, we estimate the fair value of goodwill using the discounted cash flows of a reporting unit. For indefinite-lived intangible assets we estimate the fair value using discounted cash flows following a relief-from-royalty method utilizing a market-based royalty rate. Forecasts of future cash flows are based on our best estimate of projected revenue and projected operating margin, based primarily on sales and production volume, pricing, raw material costs, market share, industry outlook, general economic conditions, and certain strategic actions we plan to implement. Cash flows are discounted using our weighted average cost of capital.
As part of our annual impairment analysis as of October 31, 2025, we completed a qualitative impairment analysis of our Asia Pacific reporting unit. After considering the results of our most recent quantitative annual testing, the capital markets environment, macroeconomic conditions, tire industry competition and trends, our results of operations, and other factors, we concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of our Asia Pacific reporting unit was less than the carrying value and, therefore, did not perform a quantitative analysis.
As part of our quarterly impairment analysis as of June 30, 2026, we completed a quantitative impairment analysis of our indefinite-lived intangible assets to determine if their fair values were less than their carrying amounts. Based on the results of the quantitative impairment assessments, the Company determined that no impairment was required as the estimated fair values of our indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded or approximated their respective carrying values. We identified $435 million of indefinite-lived intangible assets related to the Cooper Tire acquisition for which the estimated fair values approximated their respective carrying values. We determined the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets using the relief-from-royalty method, which calculates the cost savings associated with owning rather than licensing the assets. The most critical assumptions used in the calculation of the fair value are projected revenue, discount rate and royalty rate.
In the third quarter of 2026, macroeconomic factors and geopolitical events continued to have an adverse impact on our results and contributed to the decline in our replacement volume. We considered the impact on the fair value of our goodwill reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible assets. During this review, we considered the nature and extent of current market conditions, forecasts for reporting units and individual brands, as well as the quantitative analysis performed during our annual 2025 impairment test and the interim quantitative assessment performed in the second quarter of 2026. Based on our review of external and internal factors compared to our latest quantitative assessment, we determined it was not more likely than not that the fair value of our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets is less than the respective carrying value, and thus, a triggering event had not occurred which would require an interim impairment test to be performed. We will continue to monitor our results and market conditions to determine if a future analysis would be required. The fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets is sensitive to differences between estimated and actual revenue, including changes in the discount rate and royalty rate used to evaluate the fair value of these assets. Although we believe our estimate of fair value is reasonable, the indefinite-lived intangible asset performance is dependent on our ability to execute our business plan. If our future financial performance falls below our expectations, which may include a continued and sustained decline in volumes, or there are adverse revisions to significant assumptions, including projected revenues, discount rates or royalty rates, this could be indicative that the fair values of these indefinite-lived intangible assets have declined below their carrying values, and therefore we may need to record a material, non-cash impairment charge in a future period.
