Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2022

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the “Company,” “Goodyear,” “we,” “us” or “our”) in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Form 10-K”).

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In November 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update on the disclosure of certain types of government assistance. Specifically, on an annual basis, entities will be required to make certain disclosures for transactions with a government that are accounted for by analogizing to a grant model. The standards update is effective either prospectively or retrospectively for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this standards update on our disclosures in the notes to consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all legal entities in which we hold a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest generally arises from our ownership of a majority of the voting shares of our subsidiaries. We would also hold a controlling financial interest in variable interest entities if we are considered to be the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which we do not own a majority interest and we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other companies are primarily carried at cost. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Restricted Cash

The following table provides a reconciliation of Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash as reported within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:


	June 30,
(In millions)	2022		2021
Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	1,248	$	1,030
Restricted Cash(1)		79		104
Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	$	1,327	$	1,134

(1) Includes remaining Cooper Tire & Rubber Company ("Cooper Tire") restricted cash acquired of $21 million and $50 million at June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Restricted Cash primarily represents amounts required to be set aside in relation to (i) accounts receivable factoring programs and (ii) change-in-control provisions of certain Cooper Tire compensation plans. The restrictions lapse when cash from factored accounts receivable is remitted to the purchaser of those receivables or as the compensation payments are made, respectively. At June 30, 2022, $65 million and $14 million were recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. At June 30, 2021, $86 million and $18 million were recorded in Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Reclassifications and Adjustments

Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. In the second quarter of 2021, we recorded an out of period adjustment of $8 million of income related to accrued freight charges in Americas. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2021, we recorded out of period adjustments totaling $20 million of expense, primarily related to the valuation of inventory in Americas. The adjustments related to the years, and interim periods therein, of 2016 to 2020. The adjustments did not have a material effect on any of the periods impacted.
