SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ABOUT NONCASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES - ----------------------------------------------------------- In the first quarter of 1997 the Company acquired a 60% equity interest in a South African tire and industrial rubber products business, and assumed $29 million of debt under the terms of the purchase agreement. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company increased its ownership of a Polish tire manufacturer from 32.7% to 50.8% by purchasing original issue shares of this tire manufacturer. This investment, which had been accounted for using the equity method, is now accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary. Information in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows is presented net of the effects of these transactions.

- 5 - 7 THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS --------------------- CONSOLIDATED - ------------ Sales in the first quarter of 1997 were $3.23 billion, decreasing slightly from $3.25 billion in the 1996 period. Net income was $170.4 million or $1.09 per share, increasing 12.3% from net income in the 1996 quarter of $151.8 million or $.98 per share. Worldwide tire unit sales were 3.6% higher than in the first quarter of 1996, increasing in North America, Europe, Latin America and Asia. Revenues were also favorably impacted by increased volume in engineered products, but decreased due primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus European and Asian currencies and continued worldwide competitive pricing pressures. Cost of goods sold decreased to 76.1% of sales from 76.5% in the 1996 period, reflecting lower raw material costs and improved worldwide productivity. Selling, administrative and general expense (SAG) declined to 14.4% of sales from 14.5% in the year-ago quarter, due primarily to lower compensation and benefit costs in the U.S. Costs and expenses also were favorably affected by the Company's ongoing cost containment measures. Other expense decreased in 1997 due in part to lower financing expenses. Foreign currency exchange was lower due to the favorable impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar on the Company's net monetary exposure. Net income also benefited from a lower estimated annual effective tax rate than in 1996, resulting primarily from lower U.S. taxes on foreign source income. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (SFAS 128). SFAS 128 replaces primary EPS with basic EPS, which excludes dilution, and requires presentation of both basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement. Diluted EPS is computed similarly to the current fully diluted EPS. SFAS 128 is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, and requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. The adoption of this statement is not expected to materially affect either future or prior-period EPS. -6- 8 SEGMENT INFORMATION - ------------------- Segment operating income of $329.0 million increased 5.8% from $310.8 million in the 1996 period. Segment operating margin increased to 10.2% of sales from 9.6% in the 1996 period. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS - ----------------- Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 1996 ---- ---- Segment Contribution to Consolidated Sales: Tires 85.1% 85.5% General Products 14.1 13.6 Oil Transportation .8 .9 Segment Operating Margin: Tires 9.7% 9.1% General Products 10.1 9.5 Oil Transportation 64.5 52.4 Consolidated 10.2% 9.6% Tires - ----- Sales of $2.75 billion decreased slightly from $2.77 billion in the 1996 period. Operating income of $266.9 million increased 5.8%, however, from $252.4 million in the 1996 period. Revenues were favorably impacted by higher unit sales in all regions, but decreased due primarily to the adverse impact of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus currencies in Europe and Asia and worldwide competitive pricing pressures. Competitive pricing pressures are expected to continue indefinitely. The following table presents changes in tire unit sales: % Increase in Company Tire Unit Sales - First Quarter -----------------------------------------------------
1997 vs. 1996 ------------- U.S. 3.3% International 3.9 Worldwide 3.6
Operating income increased due to lower raw material costs, improved productivity, lower SAG and the effects of cost containment measures. - 7 - 9 General Products - ---------------- Sales of $456.5 million increased 3.8% from $439.8 million in the 1996 period. Operating income of $46.3 million increased 10.8% from $41.7 million in the 1996 period. Sales and operating income in engineered products increased due primarily to increased volume, and operating income was favorably impacted by lower raw material costs and the effects of cost containment measures. Sales in chemical products decreased due to reduced unit volume and the absence of the PVC business, which was discontinued in the second quarter of 1996. Operating income increased, however, on lower manufacturing costs. Oil Transportation - ------------------ Sales of $24.5 million and operating income of $15.8 million were recorded in the first quarter of 1997, compared to $31.9 million and $16.7 million, respectively, in the 1996 period. Results reflected lower throughput and reduced spreads in purchasing, selling and exchanging activities. Depreciation expense was lower as a result of the writedown of the All American Pipeline System and related assets in the fourth quarter of 1996. GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENTS - -------------------

- 8 - 10 In the United States, sales of $1.71 billion decreased 1.1% from $1.73 billion in the 1996 period. Operating income of $142.2 million increased 10.5%, however, from $128.5 million in the 1996 period. Sales revenues in the U.S. decreased despite higher tire unit sales, due primarily to competitive tire pricing pressures, reduced volume in chemical products and lower revenues in oil transportation operations. Revenues were favorably impacted, however, by increased volume in engineered products. Operating income increased due to lower raw material costs, improved productivity, lower SAG and the effects of cost containment measures. In Europe, sales of $764.5 million increased slightly from $763.8 million in the 1996 period. Operating income of $79.6 million increased slightly from $79.4 million in the 1996 period. Results in the region were favorably affected by the acquisition of a majority interest in tire and engineered products manufacturing and distribution operations in South Africa. Results in the European tire business decreased due to the effects of currency translation, lower replacement tire unit sales and competitive pricing pressures. In Latin America, sales of $383.1 million increased slightly from $381.4 million in the 1996 period. Operating income of $68.3 million decreased 4.1% from $71.2 million in the 1996 period. Sales in Latin America increased due to higher tire unit sales and increased volume in engineered products. Results were adversely affected by competitive pricing pressures and the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar. In Asia, sales of $199.3 million decreased 1.8% from $203.0 million in the 1996 period. Operating income of $27.5 million increased 8.0%, however, from $25.5 million in the 1996 period. Tire unit sales in Asia increased and operating income in the Asian tire business was higher, reflecting lower raw material costs and the effects of cost containment and productivity measures on manufacturing costs and SAG. Revenues in the segment decreased due primarily to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar versus Asian currencies and lower results in natural rubber operations. Sales and operating income of the Asia segment reflect the results of the Company's majority-owned tire business and other operations in the region, principally the engineered products and natural rubber businesses. In addition, the Company owns a 50% interest in South Pacific Tyres Ltd (SPT), the largest tire manufacturer, marketer and exporter in Australia and New Zealand. Results of operations of SPT are not reported in segment results, and are reflected in the Company's consolidated statement of income using the equity method. - 9 - 11 The following table presents the sales and operating income of the Company's Asian segment together with 100% fo the sales and operating income of SPT: (In millions) Three Months Ended March 31, ---------------------------- Asia Segment SPT Total -------- ----- ------- Net Sales: 1997 $199.3 $183.6 $382.9 1996 203.0 193.8 396.8 Operating Income: 1997 $ 27.5 $ 14.8 $ 42.3 1996 25.5 17.5 43.0 In Canada, sales of $174.1 million increased 4.5% from $166.6 million in the 1996 period. Operating income was $11.4 million, compared to $6.2 million in the 1996 period. Sales and operating income increased due to higher unit sales volume of tires and engineered products. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES ------------------------------- Net cash used in operating activities was $52.8 million during the first three months of 1997, as reported on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Working capital requirements increased for accounts receivable and inventories, yet remained lower than in the first quarter of 1996. Net cash used in investing activities was $180.9 million during the first three months of 1997. Capital expenditures were $94.4 million, primarily for plant modernizations and expansions and new tire molds. Capital expenditures were lower than in the 1996 quarter largely as a result of program timing, but are expected to total $675 million in 1997.
Three Months Ended March 31, (In millions) 1997 1996 ---- ---- Capital Expenditures $ 94.4 $127.9 Depreciation $116.1 $111.6
- 10 - 12 Other investing activities included the Company's acquisition of a majority ownership interest in tire and engineered products manufacturing and distribution operations in South Africa. Net cash provided by financing activities was $257.0 million during the first three months of 1997, which was used primarily to support the previously mentioned working capital requirements. (Dollars in millions) 3/31/97 12/31/96 3/31/96 ------- -------- ------- Consolidated Debt $1,725.2 $1,376.7 $1,995.2 Debt/Debt+Equity 33.9% 29.6% 36.8% The Company actively manages its fixed and floating rate debt mix, within defined limitations, using refinancings and unleveraged interest rate swaps. The Company enters into fixed and floating interest rate swaps to alter its exposure to the impact of changing interest rates. At March 31, 1997 the interest rate on 48% of the Company's debt was fixed by either the nature of the obligation or through the interest rate contracts. Contracts in place and related weighted average interest rates follow:
(Dollars in millions) Fixed Rate Floating Rate Contracts Contracts ---------- ------------- March 31, 1997: - Notional principal amount $250.0 $110.0 - Pay fixed rate 7.89% -- - Receive variable LIBOR 5.62 -- - Pay variable LIBOR -- 5.58% - Receive fixed rate -- 6.24 - Average years to maturity 1.8 6.4 - Fair value: favorable (unfavorable) $ .7 $(3.3) - Carrying amount: asset (liability) (1.6) -- First quarter - Rate paid 7.99% 5.57% - Rate received 5.64 6.24
A fixed rate contract with notional principal amount of $25 million matured in the first quarter of 1997. Substantial short term and long term credit sources are available to the Company globally under normal commercial practices. At March 31, 1997 the Company had short term uncommitted credit arrangements totaling $1.5 billion, of which $.7 billion were unused. The Company also had available long term credit arrangements at March 31, 1997 totaling $2.1 billion, of which $1.2 billion were unused. - 11 - 13 In order to reduce the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on consolidated results of operations and future foreign currency denominated cash flows, the Company was a party to various forward exchange contracts at March 31, 1997. These contracts reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign currency denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments. The contract maturities match the maturities of the currency positions. The future value of these contracts and the related currency positions are subject to offsetting market risk resulting from foreign currency exchange rate volatility. During the first quarter of 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a three-year share repurchase program, whereunder the Company may acquire up to $600 million of outstanding Common Stock of the Company. The program is designed to give the Company better flexibility in funding future acquisitions and to optimize shareholder value. The repurchase of one million shares was recorded in the quarter at an average cost of $53.60 per share. Funds generated by operations, together with funds available under existing credit arrangements, are expected to exceed the Company's currently anticipated funding requirements. -12- 14 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION -------------------------- ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS. - ------- ------------------ Reference is made to the Annual Report of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the "Company") on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 (the "Annual Report"), wherein at Item 3, pages 13, 14, 15, and 16, the Company reported certain legal proceedings. The Company reports the following developments in respect of one of the legal proceedings described at Item 3 of the Annual Report. As reported at paragraph (A) of Item 3 of the Annual Report, since 1990 a series of 65 civil actions have been filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland relating to the development of lung disease, cancer and other diseases by former employees of The Kelly-Springfield Tire Company ("Kelly"), then a subsidiary of the Company, alleged to be the result of exposure to allegedly toxic substances while working at the Cumberland, Maryland tire plant of Kelly, which was closed in 1987. The plaintiffs are seking an aggregate of $650 million in compensatory damages and $6.46 billion in punitive damages. On March 5, 1997, the Court granted the Company's motion for summary judgment and issued an Order and Judgment dismissing all of these civil actions with prejudice. On April 7, 1997, the plaintiffs appealed the Order and Judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. ITEM 6.
