2013 segment operating income to be at high-end of range, approximately $1.5 billion

 

   

Company continues to target positive cash flow in 2013, excluding pension pre-funding

AKRON, Ohio, July 30, 2013 – The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company today reported record earnings for the second quarter of 2013.

“Our outstanding second quarter earnings demonstrate the disciplined execution of our strategies by Goodyear associates around the globe as our operations become more efficient, reliable and integrated,” said Richard J. Kramer, chairman and chief executive officer. “We are leveraging this increased integration along with our product innovation to deliver sustainable earnings improvement through the cycle.

“We achieved significantly higher earnings, with record operating income in North America and Asia Pacific,” he said. “Our objective remains to focus on profitable targeted market segments where we can capture the value of our brands and prepare ourselves to take advantage of the market recovery when it comes.”

All four of Goodyear’s regional businesses achieved higher operating income in the second quarter compared to the year-ago period. Three businesses posted higher tire unit volumes than last year.

Commenting on Goodyear’s performance in Europe, Kramer said the company is seeing signs of volumes stabilizing and is achieving success in the summer tire market with industry-leading label-graded tires that have won numerous magazine tests versus competitors.

“Our strong first-half performance gives us confidence in our full-year outlook for global segment operating income, which we now expect to be about $1.5 billion, at the high end of our previously announced range of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion, and the highest ever achieved by the company,” Kramer said. “Additionally, we continue to target positive cash flow in 2013, excluding pension pre-funding.”

Goodyear’s second quarter 2013 sales were $4.9 billion, compared to $5.2 billion a year ago. Second quarter 2013 sales reflect $35 million in higher tire unit volumes, more than offset by $131 million in lower sales in other tire-related businesses, most notably third party chemical sales in North America; $75 million in lower price/mix, despite continued favorable mix; and $60 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation. Tire unit volumes totaled 39.5 million, up 1 percent from 2012.

The company reported record segment operating income of $428 million in the second quarter of 2013. This was up 27 percent from the year-ago quarter, reflecting favorable price/mix net of raw materials of $92 million, cost savings net of inflation of $38 million (including raw material cost savings of $53 million) and $11 million in higher tire unit volumes, partially offset by unabsorbed overhead of $47 million resulting from lower production and $12 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation. See the note at the end of this release for further explanation and a segment operating income reconciliation table.

Goodyear’s second quarter 2013 net income available to common shareholders was $181 million (67 cents per share), a second quarter record and up $96 million from $85 million (33 cents per share) in the 2012 quarter. All per share amounts are diluted.

The 2013 second quarter included total charges of $13 million (5 cents per share) due to rationalizations, asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation; $7 million (3 cents per share) due to discrete tax charges; and $5 million (2 cents per share) in charges relating to labor claims with respect to a previously closed facility in Europe; and a gain of $4 million (1 cent per share) on asset sales. All amounts are after taxes and minority interest.

See the table at the end of this release for a list of significant items impacting the 2013 and 2012 quarters.

North America’s second quarter 2013 sales decreased 10 percent from last year to $2.2 billion. Sales reflect a 3 percent decrease in tire unit volume, lower price/mix and lower third party chemical sales. Original equipment unit volume was flat. Replacement tire shipments were down 5 percent, reflecting weaker industry demand and decreased sales of lower-value consumer tires.

Second quarter 2013 segment operating income of $204 million was a 9 percent improvement over the prior year and a record for any quarter. Segment operating income was positively impacted by favorable price/mix net of raw materials of $36 million and $10 million in lower SAG expenses. This was partially offset by $10 million in lower tire unit volumes and $18 million of higher conversion costs due to unabsorbed overhead resulting from lower production exceeding lower employee benefit costs.

Second quarter 2013 segment operating income of $51 million was $32 million above the prior year. Favorable price/mix net of raw materials of $34 million, $19 million in lower SAG expenses and higher tire unit volumes of $8 million more than offset the $16 million impact of higher conversion costs primarily due to unabsorbed overhead resulting from lower production and $11 million in lower earnings in other tire-related businesses.

Year-to-Date Results

Goodyear’s sales for the first six months of 2013 were $9.7 billion, down 9 percent from the 2012 period. Sales reflect $329 million in lower tire unit volumes; $309 million in lower sales in other tire-related businesses, most notably third party chemical sales in North America, and $175 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation. Tire unit volumes totaled 79 million, down 4 percent from 2012.

The company’s first half segment operating income of $730 million was up 16 percent from last year and a record. Compared to the prior year, year-to-date segment operating income reflects favorable price/mix net of raw materials of $250 million and cost savings net of inflation of $73 million (including raw material cost savings of $110 million), which more than offset $174 million in higher conversion costs, primarily driven by unabsorbed overhead resulting from lower production; $49 million in lower tire volume; and $29 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Goodyear’s year-to-date net income available to common shareholders of $206 million (79 cents per share) is up from $73 million (30 cents per share) in 2012’s first half. All per share amounts are diluted.

Outlook

Goodyear’s outlook continues to reflect 2013 tire unit volumes essentially at 2012 levels.

“We anticipate volume growth in the second half of 2013 compared to last year, with a 3 percent to 5 percent increase in the third quarter driven by continued improvement in emerging markets and slow but steady recovery in mature markets,” Kramer said.

For the full year of 2013 in North America, Goodyear’s industry outlook is unchanged. It expects consumer replacement as well as commercial replacement and commercial original equipment markets to be at essentially 2012 levels. It expects consumer original equipment volumes to be up approximately 5 percent.

For the full year in Europe, Middle East and Africa, Goodyear’s industry outlook is unchanged. It expects consumer replacement to be at essentially 2012 levels. It expects consumer original equipment volumes to be down approximately 5 percent and commercial original equipment to be flat to up 5 percent. Commercial replacement is expected to be up about 5 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This earnings release presents total segment operating income and free cash flow from operations, on a historical basis, which are important financial measures for the company but are not financial measures defined by U.S. GAAP.

Total segment operating income is the sum of the individual strategic business units’ segment operating income as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management believes that total segment operating income is useful because it represents the aggregate value of income created by the company’s SBUs and excludes items not directly related to the SBUs for performance evaluation purposes.

Free cash flow from operations is the company’s cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP before pension contributions and direct payments and rationalization payments, less capital expenditures. Management believes that free cash flow from operations is useful because it represents the cash generating capability of the company’s ongoing operations, after taking into consideration capital expenditures necessary to maintain its business and pursue growth opportunities.

See the tables below for reconciliations of historical total segment operating income and free cash flow from operations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. This earnings release also presents total segment operating income on a forward-looking basis. The company is unable to reconcile forward-looking total segment operating income without unreasonable efforts because management cannot predict, with sufficient certainty, the various elements necessary to provide such a reconciliation.
