The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ:GT) reported second quarter 2025 results and the company hosted an investor call on Friday, Aug. 8, led by Mark Stewart, Goodyear’s chief executive officer and president, and Christina Zamarro, the company’s executive vice president and chief financial officer. Stewart and Zamarro shared insights on second-quarter performance and progress on the Goodyear Forward transformation plan.

“The second quarter proved challenging in both our consumer and commercial businesses, driven by industry disruption stemming from shifts in global trade – including a surge of low-cost imports across our key markets,” said Stewart. “We expect conditions to stabilize in the coming quarters, and we see clear opportunity ahead as we capitalize on our strong U.S. manufacturing footprint. We continue to expect to exceed the original goals for Goodyear Forward both in terms of cost savings and proceeds from asset sales.”

Goodyear’s second quarter 2025 net sales were $4.5 billion, with tire unit volumes totaling 37.9 million. Goodyear net income was $254 million (87 cents per share) compared to Goodyear net income of $79 million (28 cents per share) a year ago. The second quarter of 2025 included several significant items including, on a pre-tax basis, an estimated gain on the sale of the Dunlop brand of $385 million, rationalization charges of $59 million and Goodyear Forward costs of $5 million. The second quarter of 2024 included, on a pre-tax basis, rationalization charges of $19 million and Goodyear Forward costs of $40 million. Goodyear Forward costs are comprised of advisory, legal and consulting fees and costs associated with planned asset sales.

Second quarter 2025 adjusted net loss was $48 million compared to adjusted net income of $48 million in the prior year’s quarter. Adjusted earnings per share was a loss of $0.17, compared to earnings of $0.17 in the prior year’s quarter. Per share amounts are diluted.

The company reported segment operating income of $159 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $334 million from a year ago. After adjusting for the sale of its Off-the-Road (OTR) tire business, which was completed in February 2025, segment operating income declined $152 million, driven by higher raw materials. Segment operating income reflects benefits from Goodyear Forward of $195 million, inflation and other costs of $127 million, unfavourable net price/mix versus raw material costs of $83 million, non-recurrence of the 2024 net insurance recoveries of $63 million, and lower tire volume of d37 million.

After adjusting for the sale of its OTR tire business, which was completed in February 2025, segment operating income declined $185 million, driven by higher raw materials.

These headwinds were partially offset by benefits from Goodyear Forward of $395 million.
