THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

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 ("USU.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 USU.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, 20182019 (the 2018“2019 Form 10-K”).

We maintain a robust business continuity plan to adequately respond to situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic, including a framework for remote work arrangements, in order to effectively maintain operations, including financial reporting systems, internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures.

Effective January 1, 2020, we early adopted, as permitted, SEC amendments to the financial disclosure requirements for registered debt securities with subsidiary guarantees. The amendments replace the condensed consolidating financial information with summarized financial information of the issuers and guarantors, require expanded qualitative disclosures with respect to information about guarantors, the terms and conditions of guarantees and the factors that may affect payment, and permit these disclosures to be provided outside the footnotes to the parent company’s audited annual and interim consolidated financial statements.  We have elected to provide this information in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2019.

2020.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Effective January 1, 2019,2020, we adopted an accounting standards update with new guidance intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations relating to leases.on accounting for credit losses on financial instruments.  The new guidance requires lessees to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term.  The standards update retained a dualincludes an impairment model for lease classification, requiring leases to be classified as finance or operating leases to determine recognition inestimating credit losses that is based on expected losses, rather than incurred losses. As a result of using the statements of operations and cash flows; however, substantially all leases are now required to be recognized on the balance sheet. The standards update also requires quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding key information about leasing arrangements. We elected the optional transition method and applied the new guidance at the date ofmodified retrospective adoption without adjusting the comparative periods presented. We also elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance that retain the lease classification and initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard, and we have elected to not evaluate land easements that existed as of, or expired before, adoption of the new standard. In addition, we did not reassess whether any contracts entered into prior to adoption are leases.

The adoption of this standards update had a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and related disclosures. In addition to recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for our operating leases, weapproach, $12 million was recorded $23 million as a cumulative effect adjustment to decrease Retained Earnings, as a resultwith Accounts Receivable decreasing by $15 million and Deferred Income Taxes increasing by $3 million.

The following table presents the balance of using the modified retrospective adoption approach. The adoption of this standards update did not have a material impact onallowances for credit losses, which represents our results of operations or cash flows.

The cumulative effect ofallowance for doubtful accounts associated with accounts receivable, and the changes made to our January 1, 2019 balance sheet forduring the adoption of the standards update was as follows:three months ended March 31, 2020:

Effective January 1, 2019,2020, we adopted an accounting standards update with new guidance intended to reduce complexity in hedge accounting and make hedge results easier to understand. This includes simplifying how hedge results are presented and disclosed in the financial statements, expanding the types of hedge strategies allowed and providing relief around the documentation and assessment requirements. The adoption of this standards update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted an accounting standards update that allows an optional one-time reclassification from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ("AOCL") to Retained Earnings for the stranded tax effects resulting from the

new corporate tax rate under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") that was enacted on December 22, 2017 in the United States. We have elected not to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Act from AOCL to Retained Earnings. As such, the adoption of this standards update did not impact our consolidated financial statements. Our policy is to utilize an item-by-item approach to release stranded income tax effects from AOCL. Under this approach, the stranded income tax effects are released from AOCL when the related item ceases to exist.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update with new guidance requiring a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract to follow existing internal-use software guidance to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset. The adoption of this standards update did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In January 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update which clarifies the interaction between the accounting for investments in equity securities, equity method investments and certain derivative instruments. The new standard is expected to reduce diversity in practice and increase comparability of the accounting for these interactions. The standards update is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of this standards update on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of contents

In December 2019, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance that changes the accounting for certain income tax transactions. The standards update is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019,2020, with early adoption permitted, and maypermitted. The amendments in this update related to separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax should be applied retrospectivelyon a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The amendments related to changes in ownership of foreign equity method investments or as of the beginning of the period of adoption.foreign subsidiaries should be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The amendments related to franchise taxes that are partially based on income should be applied on either a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis. All other amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of this accounting standards update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance intended to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The standards update eliminates the requirement for an entity to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, an entity will perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment testing by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recording an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The standards update is effective prospectively for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. The new guidance includes an impairment model for estimating credit losses that is based on expected losses, rather than incurred losses. The standards update is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standards update is not expected to have a material impact on our 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 carried at cost. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

When we receive consideration from a customer prior to transferring goods or services under the terms of a sales contract, we record deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. Deferred revenue included in Other Current Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets totaled $32$24 million and $39$23 million at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively.

On March 18,

During the first quarter of 2019, we approved a plan to modernize 2 of our tire manufacturing facilities in Germany. The plan is in furtherance of our strategy to strengthen the competitiveness of our manufacturing footprint and increase production of premium, large-rim diameter consumer tires. The plan will result in approximately 1,100 job reductions as a result of changes to the layout of the plants, efficiency gains from new equipment and a reduction in the production of tires for declining, less profitable market segments. We have $96$99 million accrued related to this plan at September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, which is expected to be substantially paid through 2023.

On September 16, 2019, we approved a plan primarily to offer voluntary buy-outs to certain associates at our tire manufacturing facility in Gadsden, Alabama, in furtherance of our strategy to strengthen the competitiveness of our manufacturing footprint by curtailing production of tires for declining, less profitable segments of the tire market. Eligible associates must submit applications for buy-outs between October 1, 2019 and November 1, 2019 and can revoke any submitted applications up to the November 1, 2019 deadline. As of September 30, 2019, we have $6 million accrued related to this plan. The total amount expected to be incurred in connection with this plan is dependent upon the number of eligible associates who apply for buy-outs and our acceptance of those applications. As such, we cannot currently estimate the amount of the total cost, the amount for each major type of cost, or the amount of total future cash expenditures expected to be incurred in connection with this plan.
2022.  The remainder of the accrual balance at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 is expected to be substantially utilized in the next 12 months and includes $27$20 million related to plans to reduce manufacturing headcount and improve operating efficiency in Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), $18$14 million related to a plan primarily to offer voluntary buy-outs to certain associates at our Gadsden, Alabama manufacturing facility, $14 million related to global plans to reduce Selling, Administrative and General Expense ("SAG") headcount and $5$4 million related to a plan to reduce manufacturing headcount and improve operating efficiency in Americas.

provisional tax obligation for the one-time transition tax imposed by the Tax Act, and benefits of $5 million and $4 million, respectively, for various other discrete tax adjustments.

We record taxes based on overall estimated annual effective tax rates. The difference between our effective tax ratesrate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 primarily relates to the discrete items noted above, a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $182 million, and forecasted losses for the full year in foreign jurisdictions in which no tax benefits are recorded, which have been accentuated during 2020 by business interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.  The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018 primarily relates to the discrete items noted above and anthe overall higher effective tax rate in the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate, partially offset by a benefit from our foreign derived intangible income deduction provideddeduction.  For further information regarding the non-cash goodwill impairment charge, refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 8, Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

We consider both positive and negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. The weight given to the evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it may be objectively verified. Current and cumulative financial reporting results are a source of objectively verifiable evidence. We give operating results during the most recent three-year period a significant weight in our analysis. We typically only consider forecasts of future profitability when positive cumulative operating results exist in the Tax Act.

At September 30, 2019,most recent three-year period. We perform scheduling exercises to determine if sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character exists in the periods required in order to realize our deferred tax assets with limited lives (such as tax loss carryforwards and tax credits) prior to their expiration. We consider tax planning strategies available to accelerate taxable amounts if required to utilize expiring deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance on certainis not required to the extent that, in our judgment, positive evidence exists with a magnitude and duration sufficient to result in a conclusion that it is more likely than not that our deferred tax assets will be realized.

At March 31, 2020, we had approximately $1.0 billion of our U.S. federal, state and local deferred tax assets, was $114 million,net of valuation allowances primarily related to foreign tax credits with limited lives totaling $308 million. In the U.S., we have cumulative positive profitability in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019; however, negative evidence of reduced profitability as a result of the business disruption created by the COVID-19 pandemic must be considered in our assessment of our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets. While the disruption to our business is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the extent and duration of that disruption. If our profitability deteriorates enough that our future results for a three-year period are no longer positive, a valuation allowance may be required against all of our U.S. net deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2019, our U.S. deferred tax assets for foreign tax credits, and our valuation allowance on our foreign deferred tax assets was $226 million. At December 31, 2018, our valuation allowance on certain U.S. federal, state and local deferred tax assets was $113 million, and our valuation allowance on our foreign deferred tax assets was $204 million.

Our net deferred tax assets include approximately $637included $403 million of foreign tax credits, net of valuation allowances of $103$3 million, generated primarily from the receipt of foreign dividends. During the first quarter of 2020, we established an additional valuation allowance of $295 million against substantially all of these foreign tax credits with expiration dates through 2025.  Due to the sudden and sharp decline in industry demand and the suspension of production at our U.S. manufacturing facilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are expecting to incur a significant U.S. tax loss for 2020.  As loss carry-forwards must be utilized prior to foreign tax credits in offsetting future income for tax purposes, we have now concluded that it is no longer more likely than not that we will be able to utilize these foreign tax credits prior to their expiration. Our earnings and forecasts of future profitability along with three significant sources of foreign income provide us sufficient positive evidence that we will be able to utilize theseour remaining foreign tax credits despite the negative evidence of their limited carryforward periods. Those$108 million that expire between 2025 and 2028.  Our sources of foreign income are (1) 100% of our domestic profitability can be re-characterized as foreign source income under current U.S. tax law to the extent domestic losses have offset foreign source income in prior years, (2) annual net foreign source income, exclusive of dividends, primarily from royalties, and (3) tax planning strategies, including capitalizing research and development costs, accelerating income on cross border sales of inventory or raw materials to our subsidiaries and reducing U.S. interest expense by, for example, reducing intercompany loans through repatriating current year earnings of foreign subsidiaries, all of which would increase our domestic profitability.

We consideredconsider our current forecasts of future profitability in assessing our ability to realize our deferred tax assets, including our foreign tax credits.  These forecasts include the impact of recent trends, including various macroeconomic factors such as raw material prices,the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, on our profitability, as well as the impact of tax planning strategies.  Macroeconomic factors, including raw material prices,the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, possess a high degree of volatility and can significantly impact our profitability.  As such, there is a risk that future foreign source incomeearnings will not be sufficient to fully utilize theseour U.S. net deferred tax assets, including our remaining foreign tax credits.  However, we believe our forecasts of future profitability along with the three significant sources of foreign income described above provide us sufficient positive evidence to conclude that it is more likely

than not that, the remainingat March 31, 2020, our U.S. net deferred tax assets, including our foreign tax credits, net of valuation allowances, will be fully utilized prior to their various expiration dates. Currently,utilized.

At March 31, 2020, we are also evaluating the feasibilityhad approximately $1.2 billion of certainforeign deferred tax planning actions that would increase the likelihood that we would be able to fully utilize our foreign tax credits prior to their expiration, as well as the related tax consequences. If implemented, these tax planning actions may result inassets and a non-cash increase in tax expense in the period implemented, partially offset by a reductionvaluation allowance of our valuation allowances related to foreign tax credits.

$939 million. Our losses in various foreign taxing jurisdictions in recent periods represented sufficient negative evidence to require us to maintain a full valuation allowance against certain of our net deferred tax assets.  In Luxembourg, we maintain a valuation allowance of approximately $850 million on all 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 having a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations will exist within the next twelve months.

For the ninethree months ending September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, changes to our unrecognized tax benefits did not, and for the full year of 20192020 are not expected to, have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

On March 27, 2020, the President signed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”), a substantial tax and spending package intended to provide economic stimulus to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act allows corporations with net operating losses generated in 2018, 2019 and 2020 to elect to carryback those losses for a period of five years and relaxes the limitation for business interest deductions for 2019 and 2020.  We do not anticipate that these provisions will have a material impact on our operating results.  We will, however, benefit from a CARES Act provision that accelerates the ability of corporations to claim a refund of alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards.  Under this provision, we anticipate receiving a refund of approximately $5 million during the second quarter of 2020 that would otherwise have been received in 2 equal annual installments in 2021 and 2022.

We are open to examination in the United States for 20182019 and in Germany from 2016 onward. Generally, for our remaining tax jurisdictions, years from 20132014 onward are still open to examination.

NOTE 8. LEASES

We determine ifGOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and intangible assets totaled $369 million and $135 million, respectively, at March 31, 2020, compared to $565 million and $137 million, respectively, at December 31, 2019.  Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually either on a quantitative or qualitative basis, or more frequently when events or circumstances change that indicate the fair value of the asset may be below its carrying amount.  As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting decline in the macroeconomic environment, as well as a significant decrease in our market capitalization, we performed an arrangement is or containsinterim impairment analysis as of March 31, 2020 utilizing a lease at inception. We enter into leases primarily for our wholesale distribution facilities, manufacturing equipment, administrative offices, retail stores, vehicles and data processing equipment under varying terms and conditions. Our leases have remaining lease termsdiscounted cash flow model.

The most critical assumptions used in the calculation of less than 1 year to approximately 50 years. Mostthe estimated fair value of our leases include options to extendreporting units are the lease, with renewal terms rangingextent and duration of, as well as the timing of the recovery from, 1 to 50 years or more,the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the projected long term operating margin and some include options to terminate the lease within 1 year. If it is reasonably certain thatdiscount rate.  Since the date of our last annual quantitative goodwill impairment assessment, the overall discount rate increased, reflecting an option to extend or terminate a lease will be exercised, that option is consideredincrease in the lease term. Leases with an initial termrisk premium components of 12 months or less are not recordedthe rate partially offset by a decrease in the risk-free interest rate component as a result of the current macroeconomic environment.  Based on our current forecasts, we also gave consideration to the expected near-term negative cash flow impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent recovery, as well as the decrease in our market capitalization.  Based on the balance sheet, and we recognize short-term lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Certainresults of our lease agreements include variable lease payments, generally based on consumer price indices. Variable lease paymentsinterim quantitative assessment, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $182 million for the EMEA reporting unit during the first quarter of 2020 to reduce the recorded balance of the EMEA reporting unit’s goodwill from $400 million to $218 million.  As a result of this partial impairment, the fair value of the EMEA reporting unit now approximates its carrying value.  As of March 31, 2020, the goodwill associated with reporting units in our Americas and Asia Pacific segments was $91 million and $60 million, respectively.  If we make adverse revisions to our significant assumptions, including as a result of business performance or market conditions, or if our market capitalization declines further and if such a decline becomes indicative that are assignedthe fair value of our reporting units has declined below their carrying values, we may need to record a material, non-cash goodwill impairment charge in a future period.

Intangible assets with indefinite lives totaled $118 million at both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.  We also conducted an index are determined based on the initial index at commencement, and the variability based on changesassessment of our intangible assets with indefinite lives as of March 31, 2020, which indicated no impairment existed.  

NOTE 9. OTHER ASSETS AND INVESTMENTS

The balance of our investment in TireHub, LLC (“TireHub”), a distribution joint venture in the index is accounted for as it changes. The variable portion of payments is notUnited States, was $252 million and $262 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in the initial measurement of the right-of-use asset or lease liability due to the uncertainty of the payment amount and are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are accounted for separately.

Operating leases are included in Operating Lease Right-of-Use (“ROU”)Other Assets Operating Lease Liabilities due Within One Year and Operating Lease Liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Finance leases are includedOur investment in Property, PlantTireHub is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and, Equipment, Long Term Debtas such, includes our 50% share of the net losses of TireHub, which totaled $12 million and Finance Leases due Within One Year,$10 million for the first quarter of 2020 and Long Term Debt2019, respectively.  We regularly review our investment in TireHub for potential impairment.  Based on our assessment for the first quarter of 2020, we concluded that any decline in the fair value of our investment in TireHub as a result of current trends and Finance Leasesfactors is temporary in nature.  As such, we did not adjust the balance recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Generally, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments, unless there is a rate stated in the lease agreement. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

We utilize derivative financial instrument contracts and nonderivative instruments to manage interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity price risks. We have established a control environment that includes policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Foreign Currency Contracts

We enter into foreign currency contracts in order to manage the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results of operations and future foreign currency-denominated cash flows. These contracts may be used to reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted transactions resulting primarily from trade purchases and sales, equipment acquisitions, intercompany loans and royalty agreements. Contracts hedging short term trade receivables and payables normally have no hedging designation.

Other (Income) Expense included net transaction gains on derivatives of $31$39 million and $40$15 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and net transaction gains on derivatives of $7 million and $52 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. These amounts were substantially offset in Other (Income) Expense by the effect of changing exchange rates on the underlying currency exposures.

  Based on our current forecasts, including the expected impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe that it is probable that the underlying hedge transactions will occur within an appropriate time frame in order to continue to qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment.

We enter into master netting agreements with counterparties. The amounts eligible for offset under the master netting agreements are not material and we have elected a gross presentation of foreign currency contracts in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The estimated net amount of deferred gains at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 that are expected to be reclassified to earnings within the next twelve months is $12$16 million.

The counterparties to our foreign currency contracts were considered by us to be substantial and creditworthy financial institutions that were recognized market makers at the time we entered into those contracts. We seek to control our credit exposure to these counterparties by diversifying across multiple counterparties, by setting counterparty credit limits based on long term credit ratings and other indicators of counterparty credit risk such as credit default swap spreads, and by monitoring the financial strength of these counterparties on a regular basis. We also enter into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible. By controlling and monitoring exposure to counterparties in this manner, we believe that we effectively manage the risk of loss due to nonperformance by a counterparty. However, the inability of a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations in the period in which it occurs.

Service cost is recorded in CGS or SAG. Other components of net periodic pension cost are recorded in Other (Income) Expense. Net curtailments, settlements and termination benefits are recorded in Other (Income) Expense or Rationalizations if related to a rationalization plan.

During the third quarter of 2018, we recognized a settlement charge of $9 million in Other (Income) Expense for our frozen U.K. pension plan. This settlement charge was related primarily to an offer of lump sum payments over a limited time during 2018 to non-retiree participants of the plan. Lump sum payments of $74 million, primarily related to this offer, were made from existing plan assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. As a result, total lump sum payments related to this plan exceeded annual interest cost for 2018.
We expect to contribute approximately $25 million to $50 million to our funded non-U.S. pension plans in 2019. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we contributed $11 million and $28 million, respectively, to our non-U.S. plans.
The expense recognized for our contributions to defined contribution savings plans for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $27 million for both periods, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $83 million and $84 million, respectively.

We also provide certain U.S. employees and employees at certain non-U.S. subsidiaries with health care benefits or life insurance benefits upon retirement. Other postretirement benefits (credit) expense for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 was ($3) million and included the curtailment credit of ($4) million discussed below. Other postretirement benefits (credit) expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $2 million.

During the first quarter of 2020, we recognized settlement charges of $2 million for both periods,defined benefit pension plans in Other (Income) Expense and a curtailment credit of ($4) million for one of our non-U.S. other postretirement benefit plans in Rationalizations, related to the exit of employees under an approved rationalization plan.

We expect to contribute approximately $25 million to $50 million to our funded non-U.S. pension plans in 2020. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we contributed $7 million to our non-U.S. plans.

The expense recognized for our contributions to defined contribution savings plans for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019 and 2018 was $5$30 million and $8$28 million, respectively.

NOTE 12.13. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS

Our Board of Directors granted 1.74.2 million stock options, 0.3 million restricted stock units and0.5 0.2 million performance share units during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 under our stock compensation plans.

The weighted average exercise price per share and weighted average fair value per share of the stock option grants during the three months ended March 31, 2020 were $10.12 and $1.97, respectively. We estimated the fair value of the stock options using the following assumptions in our Black-Scholes model:

Expected term: 7.5 years

Interest rate: 1.29%

Volatility: 41.28%

Dividend yield: 6.54%

We measure the fair value of grants of restricted stock units and performance share units based primarily on the closing market price of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant, modified as appropriate to take into account the features of such grants. The weighted average fair value per share was $19.56$10.12 for restricted stock units and $18.01$7.80 for performance share units granted during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019.

March 31, 2020.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $7$6 million and $18$3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, unearned compensation cost related to the unvested portion of all stock-based awards was approximately $42$39 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the respective grants, through the fourthfirst quarter of 2022. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $6 million and $11 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

NOTE 13.14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Environmental Matters

We have recorded liabilities totaling $49$48 million and $45 million at September 30, 2019both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, respectively,2019 for anticipated costs related to various environmental matters, primarily the remediation of numerous waste disposal sites and certain properties sold by us. Of these amounts, $12 million and $10$13 million waswere included in Other Current Liabilities at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. The costs include legal and consulting fees, site studies, the design and implementation of remediation plans, post-remediation monitoring and related activities, and will be paid over several years. The amount of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may be affected by several uncertainties, primarily the ultimate cost of required remediation and the

Table of contents

extent to which other responsible parties contribute. We have limited potential insurance coverage for future environmental claims.

Since many of the remediation activities related to environmental matters vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site and the associated costs for each vary depending on the mix of unique site characteristics, in some cases we cannot reasonably estimate a range of possible losses. Although it is not possible to estimate with certainty the outcome of all of our environmental matters, management believes that potential losses in excess of current reserves for environmental matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

Workers’ Compensation

We have recorded liabilities, on a discounted basis, totaling $220 million and $224$198 million for anticipated costs related to workers’ compensation at September 30, 2019both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, respectively.2019. Of these amounts, $35$40 million and $42$39 million were included in Current Liabilities as part of Compensation and Benefits at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. The costs include an estimate of expected settlements on pending claims, defense costs and a provision for claims incurred but not reported. These estimates are based on our assessment of potential liability using an analysis of available information with respect to pending claims, historical experience, and current cost trends. The amount of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may differ from these estimates. We periodically, and at least annually, update our loss development factors based on actuarial analyses. At September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the liability was discounted using a risk-free rate of return. At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that the liability could exceed our recorded amounts by approximately $30$25 million.

General and Product Liability and Other Litigation

We have recorded liabilities totaling $340$303 million and $322$293 million, including related legal fees expected to be incurred, for potential product liability and other tort claims, including asbestos claims, at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Of these amounts, $72$43 million and $57 million werewas included in Other Current Liabilities at September 30, 2019both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, respectively.2019. The amounts recorded were estimated based on an assessment of potential liability using an analysis of available information with respect to pending claims, historical experience and, where available, recent and current trends. Based upon that assessment, at September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we do not believe that estimated reasonably possible losses associated with general and product liability claims in excess of the amounts recorded will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, cash flows or results of operations. However, the amount of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may differ from these estimates.

We have recorded an indemnification asset within Accounts Receivable of $5$3 million and within Other Assets of $26$22 million for Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd.'s ("SRI") obligation to indemnify us for certain product liability claims related to products manufactured by a formerly consolidated joint venture entity, subject to certain caps and restrictions.

Asbestos. We are a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging various asbestos-related personal injuries purported to result from alleged exposure to asbestos in certain products manufactured by us or present in certain of our facilities. Typically, these lawsuits have been brought against multiple defendants in state and federal courts. To date, we have disposed of approximately 151,600 152,900 claims by defending, obtaining the dismissal thereof, or entering into a settlement. The sum of our accrued asbestos-related liability and gross payments to date, including legal costs, by us and our insurers totaled approximately $557 million through September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and $545$554 million through December 31, 2018.

2019.

A summary of recent approximate asbestos claims activity follows. Because claims are often filed and disposed of by dismissal or settlement in large numbers, the amount and timing of settlements and the number of open claims during a particular period can fluctuate significantly.

Represents cash payments made during the period by us and our insurers on asbestos litigation defense and claim resolution.

We periodically, and at least annually, review our existing reserves for pending claims, including a reasonable estimate of the liability associated with unasserted asbestos claims, and estimate our receivables from probable insurance recoveries. We recorded gross liabilities for both asserted and unasserted claims, inclusive of defense costs, totaling $161$154 million and $166$153 million at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. In determining the estimate of our asbestos liability, we evaluated claims over the next ten-year period. Due to the difficulties in making these estimates, analysis based on new data and/or a change in circumstances arising in the future may result in an increase in the recorded obligation, and that increase could be significant.

We maintain certain primary and excess insurance coverage under coverage-in-place agreements, and also have additional excess liability insurance with respect to asbestos liabilities. After consultation with our outside legal counsel and giving consideration

21


Table of contents

to agreements with certain of our insurance carriers, the financial viability and legal obligations of our insurance carriers and other relevant factors, we determine an amount we expect is probable of recovery from such carriers. We record a receivable with respect to such policies when we determine that recovery is probable and we can reasonably estimate the amount of a particular recovery.

We recorded a receivable related to asbestos claims of $103 million and $108$95 million at September 30, 2019both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, respectively.2019. We expect that approximately 65%60% of asbestos claim related losses would be recoverable through insurance during the ten-year period covered by the estimated liability. Of these amounts, $13 million was included in Current Assets as part of Accounts Receivable at both September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, respectively.2019. The recorded receivable consists of an amount we expect to collect under coverage-in-place agreements with certain primary and excess insurance carriers as well as an amount we believe is probable of recovery from certain of our other excess insurance carriers.

We believe that, at December 31, 2018,2019, we had approximately $565$555 million in excess level policy limits applicable to indemnity and defense costs for asbestos products claims under coverage-in-place agreements.  We also had additional unsettled excess level policy limits potentially applicable to such costs.  We had coverage under certain primary policies for indemnity and defense costs


- 27-



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

for asbestos products claims under remaining aggregate limits pursuant to a coverage-in-place agreement, as well as coverage for indemnity and defense costs for asbestos premises claims pursuant to coverage-in-place agreements.

With respect to both asserted and unasserted claims, it is reasonably possible that we may incur a material amount of cost in excess of the current reserve; however, such amounts cannot be reasonably estimated. Coverage under insurance policies is subject to varying characteristics of asbestos claims including, but not limited to, the type of claim (premise vs. product exposure), alleged date of first exposure to our products or premises and disease alleged. Recoveries may be limited by insurer insolvencies or financial difficulties. Depending upon the nature of these characteristics or events, as well as the resolution of certain legal issues, some portion of the insurance may not be accessible by us.

Amiens Labor Claims

Approximately 850 former employees of the closed Amiens, France manufacturing facility have asserted wrongful termination or other claims totaling approximately €120€140 million ($131154 million) against Goodyear Dunlop Tires France.France SAS. We intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims, and any additional claims that may be asserted against us, and cannot estimate the amounts, if any, that we may ultimately pay in respect of such claims.

Other Actions

We are currently a party to various claims, indirect tax assessments and legal proceedings in addition to those noted above. If management believes that a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, we record the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point within the range is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Based on currently available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations.

Our recorded liabilities and estimates of reasonably possible losses for the contingent liabilities described above are based on our assessment of potential liability using the information available to us at the time and, where applicable, any past experience and recent and current trends with respect to similar matters. Our contingent liabilities are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable judicial or administrative decisions could occur which we did not anticipate. Such an unfavorable decision could include monetary damages, fines or other penalties or an injunction prohibiting us from taking certain actions or selling certain products. If such an unfavorable decision were to occur, it could result in a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations in the period in which the decision occurs, or in future periods.

Income Tax Matters

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We also recognize income tax benefits to the extent that it is more likely than not that our positions will be sustained when challenged by the taxing authorities. We derecognize income tax benefits when based on new information we determine that it is no longer more likely than not that our position will be sustained. To the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities have been established, or determine we need to derecognize tax benefits recorded in prior periods, our results of operations and effective tax rate in a given period could be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would require use of our cash, and lead to recognition of expense to the extent the settlement amount exceeds recorded liabilities and, in the case of an income tax settlement, result in an increase in our effective tax rate in the period of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction of expense to the extent the settlement amount is lower than recorded liabilities and, in the case of an income tax settlement, would result in a reduction in our effective tax rate in the period of resolution.

prices, and related interpretations of tax laws, are occasionally challenged by various taxing authorities globally. We have received various tax assessments challenging our interpretations of applicable tax laws in various jurisdictions. Although we believe we have complied with applicable tax laws, have strong positions and defenses and have historically been successful in defending such claims, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected in the case we are unsuccessful in the defense of existing or future claims.

Guarantees

We have off-balance sheet financial guarantees and other commitments totaling approximately $71$70 million and $73$74 million at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. We issue guarantees to financial institutions or other entities on behalf of certain of our affiliates, lessors or customers. We generally do not require collateral in connection with the issuance of these guarantees.

In 2017, we issued a guarantee of approximately PLN165 million ($4140 million) in connection with an indirect tax assessment in EMEA. This guarantee amount was subsequently increased to PLN 181 million ($44 million). We have concluded our performance under this guarantee is not probable and, therefore, have not recorded a liability for this guarantee. In 2015, as a result of the dissolution of the global alliance with SRI, we issued a guarantee of approximately $46 million to an insurance company related to SRI's obligation to pay certain outstanding workers' compensation claims of a formerly consolidated joint venture entity. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, this guarantee amount has been reduced to $29$26 million. We have concluded the probability of our performance to be remote and, therefore, have not recorded a liability for this guarantee. While there is no fixed duration of this guarantee, we expect the amount of this guarantee to continue to decrease over time as the formerly consolidated joint venture entity pays its outstanding claims. If our performance under these guarantees is triggered by non-payment or another specified event, we would be obligated to make payment to the financial institution or the other entity, and would typically have recourse to the affiliate, lessor, customer, or SRI. Except for the workers' compensation guarantee described above, the guarantees expire at various times through 2020.2021. We are unable to estimate the extent to which our affiliates’, lessors’, customers’, or SRI's assets would be adequate to recover any payments made by us under the related guarantees.

NOTE 14.15. CAPITAL STOCK

This amount excludes dividends earned on stock basedstock-based compensation plans of approximately $1 million forduring the first nine monthsquarter of 2019.2020. On October 7, 2019,April 16, 2020, we announced that we have temporarily suspended the Board of Directors (or duly authorized committee thereof) declared cash dividends of $0.16 per share ofquarterly dividend on our common stock, or approximately $37 million in the aggregate. The dividend will be paid on December 2, 2019, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 1, 2019. Future quarterly dividends are subject to Board approval.

Common Stock Repurchases

On September 18, 2013, the Board of Directors approved our common stock repurchase program. From time to time, the Board of Directors has approved increases in the amount authorized to be purchased under that program. On February 2, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a further increase in that authorization to an aggregate of $2.1 billion. This program expires on December 31, 2019, and is intended to be used, subject to our cash flow, to repurchase shares of common stock in open market transactions in order to offset new shares issued under equity compensation programs and to provide for additional shareholder returns. During the first nine months of 2019, we did not repurchase any common stock.

NOTE 16. CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Certain17. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 17, 2020, we reached a tentative bargaining agreement and subsequently approved a plan to permanently close our Gadsden, Alabama manufacturing facility as part of our subsidiaries have guaranteedstrategy to strengthen the competitiveness of our obligations undermanufacturing footprint by curtailing production of tires for declining, less profitable segments of the $282tire market.  The tentative bargaining agreement remains subject to approval by the membership of the local union.  We estimate the total pre-tax charges associated with this plan to be $280 million outstanding principal amountto $295 million, of 8.75% notes duewhich $170 million to $180 million are expected to be cash charges, primarily for severance and other associate-related costs of approximately $55 million and $40 million, respectively, and other closure costs of $75 million to $85 million.  Non-cash charges, primarily related to asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation, are expected to be $110 million to $115 million.  We expect to record approximately $170 million of these charges in the second quarter of 2020 the $1.0 billion outstanding principal amountand make cash payments of 5.125% senior notes due 2023, the $900approximately $45 million outstanding principal amount of 5% senior notes due 2026in 2020.  The remaining charges will be recorded and the $700 million outstanding principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due 2027 (collectively, the “notes”). The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:

(i)The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the “Parent Company”), the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;

ITEM 2. 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

OVERVIEW

The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company 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 47 manufacturing facilities in 21 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

In

National efforts by many countries to mitigate the thirdCOVID-19 pandemic have caused a deep contraction in vast areas of the global economy, with many workers and businesses, including Goodyear, facing profound challenges.  The tire industry has been particularly negatively impacted by this evolving situation, characterized by a sudden and sharp decline in replacement tire demand and original equipment (“OE”) manufacturers suspending or severely limiting automobile production globally.  Our results for the first quarter of 2019, macro-economic2020 were highly influenced by this economic disruption, which aggravated already challenging industry conditions in many of our key markets, including foreign currency headwinds have begundue to lessena strong U.S. dollar, lower OE industry volumes, softening demand in several key areas, including improvingEurope, weak market conditions in China and economic volatility in Latin America, particularly Brazil, moderating raw material costs,that persisted throughout 2019.

We are proactively taking actions in response to COVID-19 to protect the health and continued strengthwellbeing of our associates, customers and communities, which remain our top priority, to mitigate the near and long-term financial impacts on our operating results, and to ensure adequate liquidity and capital resources are available to maintain our operations until the auto industry and replacement tire demand recovers.  

These actions include:

On March 17, 2020 and March 18, 2020, we announced the suspension of production in Europe and the Americas, respectively, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  These temporary measures were implemented in a way to allow us to promptly resume production when public health and market conditions improve.  We plan a phased restart of production during the second quarter.  Earlier in April, we reopened some of our chemical plants and began a limited ramp-up of our commercial truck tire manufacturing facilities in the U.S. and Europe.  More recently, we also began to reopen tire production in most of our consumer factories in Europe.  Our decisions to resume production will be based on an evaluation of market demand signals, inventory and supply levels, as well as our ability to safeguard the health of our associates.  Throughout the first quarter of 2020, production was also temporarily suspended or significantly limited in several other locations globally, most notably at our Pulandian, China manufacturing facility.  Our Pulandian facility is now operating with all of its workforce, is able to meet customer demand, and is expected to continue ramping up production during the second quarter of 2020.

As our business is deemed essential in the U.S. and most other parts of the world, in order to maintain customer service, warehouses, commercial truck service centers and retail operations remain largely operational on a reduced staffing schedule and with strong social distancing practices in place.  We continue to closely monitor local conditions surrounding these operations, as well as inventory and supply levels, to continue delivery of our products.

We are following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and have introduced a number of preventative measures at our facilities that remain open, including limiting visitor access and business travel, implementing remote working and social distancing practices, and increasing the frequency of disinfection.

On April 2, 2020, we announced actions to reduce our payroll costs through a combination of furloughs, temporary salary reductions and salary deferrals covering over 9,000 of our corporate and business unit associates, including substantial salary reductions and deferrals for our CEO, officers and directors.  These and other similar actions are expected to save nearly $65 million of cash spend during the second quarter of 2020 and take advantage of governmental income replacement programs to ensure our associates are supported.

On April 9, 2020, we amended and restated our $2.0 billion first lien revolving credit facility, extending the maturity date from April 2021 to April 2025.  The refinancing includes favorable adjustments to the calculation of the facility’s borrowing base, further strengthening our liquidity position.  Other significant changes to the facility are discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

On April 16, 2020, we announced that we have temporarily suspended the quarterly dividend on our common stock.  These dividends total approximately $37 million each quarter.

We are leveraging governmental relief efforts to defer payroll and other tax payments, which are expected to benefit our cash flows by approximately $60 million for 2020 in the U.S. alone.

We have taken, and will continue to take, other actions to reduce costs and preserve cash in order to successfully navigate the current economic environment, including limiting capital expenditures to no more than $700 million for the full year and reducing discretionary spending, such as marketing and other administrative and general expenses, by approximately $75 million in the second quarter of 2020.

Additionally, on April 17, 2020, we reached a tentative bargaining agreement and subsequently approved a plan to permanently close our Gadsden, Alabama manufacturing facility as part of our strategy to strengthen the competitiveness of our manufacturing footprint by curtailing production of tires for declining, less profitable segments of the tire market.  The tentative bargaining agreement remains subject to approval by the membership of the local union.  We estimate the total pre-tax charges associated with this plan to be $280 million to $295 million, of which $170 million to $180 million are expected to be cash charges.  We expect to record approximately $170 million of these charges in U.S. consumer replacement sales. However, some negative industry conditions persist, including weak global light vehicle production, weakening demand in Europe, and a strong U.S. dollar.

Our thirdthe second quarter of 20192020 and make cash payments of approximately $45 million in 2020.  The remaining charges will be recorded and the remaining cash payments will be made thereafter, primarily in 2021 and 2022. We expect the combined impact of this plan and the previously announced rationalization actions related to Gadsden will result in approximately $130 million in annual savings in 2021 when compared to 2019.

Our results reflectfor the first quarter of 2020 include a 0.7%17.6% decrease in tire unit shipments compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2018, as a result2019, reflective of the current economic environment.  Our results for the first quarter of 2020 include an approximate $65 million unfavorable impact due to lower volume in EMEA that wasfactory utilization and other period costs, both directly related to the suspension of production at our manufacturing facilities.  These negative impacts were partially offset by volume growth in Asia Pacific and Americas, which included the impactcost savings of a strike during the quarter at a major OE customer. In the third quarter of 2019, we realized approximately $40$38 million, of cost savings, including raw material cost saving measures of approximately $21 million, which nearly offset the estimated impact of general inflation.

$17 million.

Net sales in the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 were $3,802$3,056 million, compared to $3,928$3,598 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019. Net sales decreased in the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 primarily due to lower global tire unit volumes, unfavorable foreign currency translation, primarily in EMEA and Asia Pacific, lower sales in other tire-related businesses, primarily due to a decrease in third-party sales of chemical products in Americas, and lower tire unit volumes in EMEA, partially offset by volume improvements in Asia Pacific and Americas. These decreases were partially offset by improvements in price and product mix, primarily in EMEA.

In the third quarter of 2019, Goodyear net income was $88 million, or $0.38 per share, compared to $351 million, or $1.48 per share, in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in Goodyear net income was primarily driven by a gain, net of transaction costs, of $287 million recognized on the TireHub transaction in the third quarter of 2018 and lower segment operating income. These decreases in net income were partially offset by lower income tax expense.
Our total segment operating income for the third quarter of 2019 was $294 million, compared to $362 million in the third quarter of 2018. The $68 million decrease in segment operating income was primarily due to higher conversion costs of $26 million, primarily in EMEA and Asia Pacific, the 2018 favorable indirect tax settlement in Brazil of $21 million, higher raw material costs of $20 million, primarily in EMEA and Americas, higher selling, administrative and general expense ("SAG") of $14 million, primarily in Americas, lower income from other tire-related businesses of $12 million, driven by lower third-party chemical sales in Americas, and lower tire unit volumes of $10 million, representing volume decreases in EMEA that were partially offset by volume improvements in Asia Pacific and Americas, which more than offset the benefits of improvements in price and product mix of $22 million, primarily in EMEA and Americas, and lower start-up costs of $10 million associated with our new plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Refer to "Results of Operations — Segment Information” for additional information.
Net sales in the first nine months of 2019 were $11,032 million, compared to $11,599 million in the first nine months of 2018. Net sales decreased in the first nine months of 2019 primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency translation, primarily in EMEA and Americas, lower tire unit volumes, primarily in EMEA and Asia Pacific, and lower sales in other tire-related businesses, primarily due to a decrease in third-party sales of chemical products in Americas. These decreases were partially offset by improvements in price and product mix, primarily in EMEAAmericas and Americas.

Liquidity

At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had $868$971 million of cash and cash equivalents as well as $2,521$2,278 million of unused availability under our various credit agreements, compared to $801$908 million and $3,151$3,554 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.2019. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $67$63 million from December 31, 20182019 due primarily to net borrowings of $950$978 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $561 million, cash used for operating activities of $139$561 million, capital expenditures of $211 million, and dividends paid of $111$37 million. Cash used for operating activities reflects cash used for working capital of $1,061 million which was partially offset by net income for the period of $102 million, which included non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $584$482 million and net rationalization chargespayments of $128$73 million. Refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information.

Outlook

In 2019,

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the temporary closure of many businesses throughout the world during the first quarter of 2020, including most of our manufacturing facilities, which has limited global business activity.

Given the limited visibility we have experienced,into vehicle production and expect to continue to experience, challenging globalreplacement tire demand, we have difficulty projecting industry conditions, including higher raw material costs, foreign currency headwinds, lower global OE industry demand, weakening demandvolumes for the year. We are planning a phased restart of production during the second quarter of 2020, which began earlier in Europe,April with the reopening of some of our chemical plants and volatility in emerging markets. We expect to see benefits from thea limited ramp-up of our new Americascommercial truck tire manufacturing facilityfacilities in the U.S. and TireHub, pricing actionsEurope. More recently, we also began to reopen tire production in most of our consumer factories in Europe. We expect most of our manufacturing facilities to resume operations by the end of May. Decisions regarding production will be based on an evaluation of market demand signals, inventory and supply levels, as well as our ability to safeguard the health of our associates.

We currently believe that we implementedour largest volume declines will occur in 2018the second quarter of 2020, with volumes down approximately 50% compared to the second quarter of 2019.  Overhead absorption will also continue to be adversely affected by reduced plant

production during the second quarter of 2020. We are currently planning for our production to be down almost 25 million units versus the second quarter of 2019 in order to reflect expected demand and to reduce inventory.

In addition, our other tire-related businesses are also being significantly affected by the weakening economic environment. Traffic and volume at our retail locations is low and the first halfsharp drop in business and leisure travel is adversely impacting our aviation business. Our chemicals business is also feeling the effects of 2019, continued strong performancethe decline in tire production. In total, the year-over-year earnings decline in our salesother tire-related businesses is expected to be about $150 million during the second quarter of 17-inch and above consumer replacement tires, and continuing net cost savings initiatives.

2020.

For the full year of 2019,2020, we now expect our raw material costs will be up approximately $270a benefit of $50 million to $100 million compared to 2018,2019, excluding transactional foreign currency and raw material cost saving measures. Natural and synthetic rubber prices and other commodity prices historically have experienced significant volatility,been volatile, and this estimate could change significantly based on fluctuations in the cost of these and other key raw materials. We are continuing to focus on price and product mix, to substitute lower cost materials where possible, to work to identify additional substitution opportunities, to reduce the amount of material required in each tire, and to pursue alternative raw materials.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Net sales in the third quarter of 2019 were $3,802 million, decreasing $126 million, or 3.2%, from $3,928 million in the third quarter of 2018. Goodyear net income was $88 million, or $0.38 per share, in the third quarter of 2019, compared to $351 million, or $1.48 per share, in the third quarter of 2018.
Net sales decreased in the third quarter of 2019, due primarily to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $61 million, primarily in EMEA and Asia Pacific, lower sales in other tire-related businesses of $48 million, primarily due to a decrease in third-party sales of chemical products in Americas, and lower tire unit volume of $28 million, representing lower tire unit volumes in EMEA that were partially offset by volume improvements in Asia Pacific and Americas. These decreases were partially offset by improvements in price and product mix of $13 million, primarily in EMEA.
Worldwide tire unit sales in the third quarter of 2019 were 40.3 million units, decreasing 0.2 million units, or 0.7%, from 40.5 million units in the third quarter of 2018. OE tire volume decreased 0.4 million units, or 5.2%, primarily due to lower vehicle production globally. Replacement tire volume increased 0.2 million units, or 0.8%, primarily in Americas and Asia Pacific, partially offset by decreased volume in EMEA.
Cost of goods sold (“CGS”) in the third quarter of 2019 was $2,965 million, decreasing $63 million, or 2.1%, from $3,028 million in the third quarter of 2018. CGS decreased due to foreign currency translation of $48 million, primarily in EMEA and Asia Pacific, lower costs in other tire-related businesses of $36 million, driven by lower third-party chemical sales in Americas, lower tire unit volume of $18 million, and lower start-up costs of $10 million associated with our new plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. These decreases were partially offset by higher conversion costs of $26 million, driven by the impact of lower tire production on overhead absorption in EMEA and Asia Pacific, the 2018 favorable indirect tax settlement in Brazil of $21 million, and higher raw material costs of $20 million, primarily in EMEA and Americas.
CGS in the third quarter of 2019 included pension expense of $3 million, compared to $4 million in 2018. CGS in the third quarter of 2019 included accelerated depreciation of $1 million ($1 million after-tax and minority). CGS in the third quarter of 2019 and 2018 also included incremental savings from rationalization plans of $3 million and $9 million, respectively. CGS was 78.0% of sales in the third quarter of 2019 compared to 77.1% in the third quarter of 2018.
SAG in the third quarter of 2019 was $572 million, increasing $19 million, or 3.4%, from $553 million in the third quarter of 2018. SAG increased primarily due to higher wages and benefits of $30 million, primarily due to higher incentive compensation, partially offset by foreign currency translation of $9 million, primarily in EMEA.

SAG in the third quarter of 2019 included pension expense of $3 million, compared to $4 million in 2018. SAG in the third quarter of 2019 and 2018 also included incremental savings from rationalization plans of $5 million and $9 million, respectively. SAG was 15.0% of sales in the third quarter of 2019, compared to 14.1% in the third quarter of 2018.
We recorded net rationalization charges of $21 million ($17 million after-tax and minority) in the third quarter of 2019 and $5 million ($4 million after-tax and minority) in the third quarter of 2018. Net charges in 2019 primarily related to a plan to modernize two of our tire manufacturing facilities in Germany and the plan at our Gadsden, Alabama manufacturing facility. Rationalization charges in the third quarter of 2018 primarily related to the closure of our tire manufacturing facility in Philippsburg, Germany.
Interest expense in the third quarter of 2019 was $88 million, increasing $6 million, or 7.3%, from $82 million in the third quarter of 2018. The increase was due to a higher average interest rate of 5.25% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to 5.10% in the third quarter of 2018, and a higher average debt balance of $6,707 million in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $6,434 million in the third quarter of 2018.
Other (Income) Expense in the third quarter of 2019 was $35 million of expense, compared to $253 million of income in the third quarter of 2018. Other (Income) Expense in the third quarter of 2019 included charges of $5 million ($5 million after-tax and minority) related to flooding at our Beaumont, Texas chemical facility. Other (Income) Expense in the third quarter of 2018 included a net gain of $287 million ($219 million after-tax and minority) on the TireHub transaction, pension settlement charges of $10 million ($8 million after-tax and minority), charges of $4 million ($3 million after-tax and minority) for legal claims related to discontinued operations, $3 million ($2 million after-tax and minority) for interest income related to a favorable indirect tax settlement in Brazil, and $2 million ($2 million after-tax and minority) for continuing repair expenses related to hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
For the third quarter of 2019, we recorded tax expense of $31 million on income before income taxes of $121 million. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was favorably impacted by $6 million ($6 million after minority interest) of various discrete tax adjustments.
In the third quarter of 2018, we recorded income tax expense of $159 million on income before income taxes of $513 million. Income tax expense in the third quarter of 2018 includes net discrete charges of $31 million ($31 million after minority interest). Net discrete tax charges for the three months ended September 30, 2018 include a charge of $25 million due to proposed regulations released in the third quarter of 2018 that required the reversal of a benefit for foreign tax credits on dividends, primarily from subsidiaries in Japan and Singapore, to the United States recorded in the second quarter of 2018. Net discrete tax charges for the three months ended September 30, 2018 also include a charge of $11 million to adjust our provisional tax obligation for the one-time transition tax imposed by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") that was enacted on December 22, 2017 in the United States, and a benefit of $5 million for various other discrete tax adjustments.
For further information regarding income taxes, refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 5, Income Taxes, in this Form 10-Q.

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 ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 primarily relates to the discrete items noted above, the non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $182 million, and forecasted losses for the full year in foreign jurisdictions in which no tax benefits are recorded, which have been accentuated during 2020 by business interruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.  The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, primarily relates to the discrete items noted above and anthe overall higher effective tax rate in the foreign jurisdictions in which we operate, partially offset by a benefit from our foreign derived intangible income deduction provided for in the Tax Act.

At September 30, 2019, our valuation allowance on certainMarch 31, 2020, we had approximately $1.0 billion of our U.S. federal, state and local deferred tax assets, was $114 million,net of valuation allowances primarily related to foreign tax credits with limited lives totaling $308 million. In the U.S., we have cumulative positive profitability in the three-year period ended December 31, 2019; however, negative evidence of reduced profitability as a result of the business disruption created by the COVID-19 pandemic must be considered in our assessment of our ability to realize our net deferred tax assets. While the disruption to our business is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the extent and duration of that disruption. If our profitability deteriorates enough that our future results for a three-year period are no longer positive, a valuation allowance may be required against all of our U.S. net deferred tax assets.

At December 31, 2019, our U.S. deferred tax assets forincluded $403 million of foreign tax credits, and ournet of valuation allowances of $3 million, generated primarily from the receipt of foreign dividends. During the first quarter of 2020, we established an additional valuation allowance onof $295 million against substantially all of these foreign tax credits with expiration dates through 2025.  Due to the sudden and sharp decline in industry demand and the suspension of production at our U.S. manufacturing facilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are expecting to incur a significant U.S. tax loss for 2020.  As loss carry-forwards must be utilized prior to foreign tax credits in offsetting future income for tax purposes, we have now concluded that it is no longer more likely than not that we will be able to utilize these foreign tax credits prior to their expiration. Our earnings and forecasts of future profitability along with our sources of foreign income provide us sufficient positive evidence that we will be able to utilize our remaining foreign tax credits of $108 million that expire between 2025 and 2028.

At March 31, 2020, we had approximately $1.2 billion of foreign deferred tax assets was $226with a valuation allowance of $939 million.  At December 31, 2018, our valuation allowance on certain2019, we had approximately $1.3 billion of U.S. federal, state and local deferred tax assets was $113with a valuation allowance of $13 million, and our valuation allowance on our$1.2 billion of foreign deferred tax assets was $204with a valuation allowance of $969 million.

For the nine months ending September 30, 2019, changes to our unrecognized tax benefits did not, and for the full year of 2019 are not expected to, have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

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 (credits), asset sales, goodwill impairment charges and certain other items.

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, in this Form 10-Q for further information and for a reconciliation of total segment operating income to Income (Loss) before Income Taxes.

OE tire volume increased 0.1 million units, or 2.0%, primarily in our consumer business in China, partially offset by softness in India. Replacement tire volume increased 0.3 million units, or 7.4%, primarily in our consumer business in Japan and China.
Net sales in the third quarter of 2019 were $548 million, increasing $17 million, or 3.2%, from $531 million in the third quarter of 2018. Net sales increased due to higher tire unit volume of $25 million and improvements in price and product mix of $6 million. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $10 million, primarily related to the weakening of the Chinese yuan and Australian dollar, and lower salesearnings in other tire-related businesses of $4 million.
Operating income in the third quarter of 2019 was $53 million, decreasing $4 million, or 7.0%, from $57 million in the third quarter of 2018. Operating income decreased due to higher conversion costs of $8 million, primarily due to the impact of lower tire production on overhead absorption, and unfavorable price and product mix of $3 million.  These decreases were partially offset by higher tire unit volume of $7 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 and 2018
Asia Pacific unit sales in the first nine months of 2019 decreased 0.7 million units, or 3.0%, to 21.9 million units. OE tire volume decreased 0.8 million units, or 8.5%, primarily in our consumer business in India and China due to lower vehicle production. Replacement tire volume increased 0.1 million units, or 0.7%, primarily in our consumer business in India.
Net sales in the first nine months of 2019 were $1,569 million, decreasing $96 million, or 5.8%, from $1,665 million in the first nine months of 2018. Net sales decreased due to unfavorable foreign currency translation of $56 million, primarily related to the weakening of the Chinese yuan, Australian dollar and Indian rupee, lower tire unit volume of $49 million, and lower sales in other tire related businesses of $11 million. These decreases were partially offset by improvements in price and product mix of $20 million.
Operating income in the first nine months of 2019 was $141 million, decreasing $62 million, or 30.5%, from $203 million in the first nine months of 2018. Operating income decreased due to higher raw material costs of $24 million, higher conversion costs of $24 million, primarily due to the impact of lower tire production on overhead absorption, lower tire unit volume of $14 million, unfavorable price and product mix of $10 million, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $6$8 million. These decreases in operating income were partially offset by lower SAG of $8 million, primarily due to lower advertising costs.
Operating income in the first nine months of 2018 excluded net rationalization charges of $3 million.

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.

In the first quarter of 2019,

On April 9, 2020, we amended and restated our European$2.0 billion first lien revolving credit facility. Significant changesChanges to the facility include extending the maturity to March 27, 2024,April 9, 2025 and increasing the available commitments from €550borrowing base for the facility by increasing the amount attributable to the value of our principal trademarks by $100 million to €800 million, decreasingand adding the value of eligible machinery and equipment. The interest rate marginfor loans under the facility increased by 2550 basis points to LIBOR plus 175 basis points, based on our current liquidity, and decreasingundrawn amounts under the facility will be subject to an annual commitment fee by 5of 25 basis points.

At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had $868$971 million in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $801$908 million at December 31, 2018.2019. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, net cash used by operating activities was $139$561 million, primarily driven by cash used for working capital of $1,061 million, pension contributions and direct payments of $51$482 million and rationalization payments of $46$73 million. These decreases in cash were partially offset by cash derived from net income of $102 million, which includes non-cash charges of $584 million for depreciation and amortization and $128 million for net rationalization charges. Net cash used in investing activities was $584$257 million, primarily reflecting capital expenditures of $561$211 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was $789$939 million, primarily due to net borrowings of $950$978 million, partially offset by cash used for dividends of $111$37 million.

At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had $2,521$2,278 million of unused availability under our various credit agreements, compared to $3,151$3,554 million at December 31, 2018.2019. 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 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 position or results of operations in the period in which it occurs.

We expect our 20192020 cash flow needs to include capital expenditures of approximately $800 millionup to $825$700 million. We also expect interest expense to be approximately $350 million to $375 million; restructuring payments to be $175 million to $200 million; cash tax payments to be approximately $65$60 million, approximately $30 million of which were already paid during the first quarter of 2020; dividends on our common stock to be approximately $150$37 million, which reflects the dividend already paid in the first quarter of 2020; and contributions to our funded non-U.S. pension plans to be approximately $25 million to $50 million. We expect working capital to be a source of cash for the full year of 2020, but a use of cash during the second quarter of less than $1002020.

We could use approximately $1.0 billion of cash in the second quarter of 2020. As a result, we expect our liquidity to decline over the course of the second quarter of 2020, before recovering in the second half of the year. For example, the borrowing base under our first lien revolving credit facility is dependent, in significant part, on our eligible accounts receivable and inventory, which have declined as a result of our lower sales and production levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A decline in our borrowing base would reduce our availability under the first lien revolving credit facility. Additionally, our European revolving credit facility contains a leverage ratio covenant applicable to Goodyear Europe B.V. (“GEBV”) and its subsidiaries. While we are currently in compliance with this covenant, if we were unable to satisfy this covenant in the future or obtain a waiver from our lenders, we would no longer be able to access our €800 million European revolving credit facility or our pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility. See “Credit Sources – Covenant Compliance” below for more information regarding this covenant.

We are actively monitoring our liquidity, including the covenant in 2019.our European revolving credit facility, and have taken a number of actions aimed at mitigating the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on our cash flows and liquidity, such as suspending production at most of our manufacturing facilities, reducing our payroll costs through a combination of furloughs, temporary salary reductions and salary deferrals, refinancing our first lien revolving credit facility to extend its maturity and increase its borrowing base, temporarily suspending the quarterly dividend on our common stock, reducing capital expenditures and discretionary spending, and using governmental relief efforts to defer payroll and other tax payments globally. We intend to operate the business in a way that allows us to address theseour cash flow needs with our existing cash and available credit if they cannot be funded by cash generated from operations.

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 monthsin 2020 and to provide us with flexibilitythe 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 and South Africa, 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 and South African subsidiaries, thatwhich 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, 2019,March 31, 2020, approximately $703$621 million of net assets, including $147$158 million of cash and cash equivalents, were subject to such requirements. The requirements we must comply with to transfer funds out of China and South Africa have not adversely impacted our ability to make transfers out of those countries.

Operating Activities

Net cash used by operating activities was $139$561 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2019,2020, increasing $115$197 million compared to net cash used by operating activities of $24$364 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2018.

2019.

The increase in net cash used by operating activities was driven by a decrease in operating income from our SBUs of $264$237 million and an increasehigher cash payments for rationalizations of $55 million, primarily due to cash payments made during 2020 related to the voluntary buy-out plan at our Gadsden, Alabama manufacturing facility, partially offset by a decrease in cash used for working capital of $235$107 million. During the first nine months of 2019, cash flows from operating activities were favorably impacted by an increase in Balance Sheet accruals for Other Current Liabilities of $135 million, primarily due to changes in indirect taxes, and Compensation and Benefits of $122 million, primarily due to higher wages and benefits, including higher incentive compensation. Cash flows from operating activities during the first nine months of 2019 also benefited from lower cash payments for rationalizations of $105 million, reflecting cash payments made during 2018 related to the closure of our tire manufacturing facility in Philippsburg, Germany.

The increasedecrease in cash used for working capital primarily related toreflects a decrease in cash used for Accounts Payable—Trade, which decreased during the first nine monthsReceivable of 2019 as compared to$219 million, partially offset by an increase during the first nine monthsin cash used for Inventory of 2018, resulting in a year-over-year use$77 million and Accounts Payable – Trade of cash of $345$35 million. That use of cash was primarilyThese changes were driven by raw material pricesthe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which moderated during 2019 compared to increasing prices during 2018,included lower sales volumes as well as the impact of lowermitigating actions taken by us, such as suspending production levels during the third quarter of 2019, primarily in EMEAat our manufacturing facilities and Asia Pacific. Cash used for inventories decreased during the first nine months of 2019, providing an operating cash flow benefit of $88 million, also as a result of moderating raw material prices and lower production levels.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities was $584$257 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2019,2020, compared to $664$244 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2018.2019. Capital expenditures were $561$211 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2019,2020, compared to $615$221 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2018.2019. Beyond expenditures required to sustain our facilities, capital expenditures in 20192020 and 20182019 primarily related to investments in additional 17-inch and above capacity around the world.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $789$939 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2019,2020, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $577$645 million in the first nine monthsquarter of 2018.2019. Financing activities in 20192020 included net borrowings of $950$978 million, which were partially offset by dividends on our common stock of $111$37 million. Financing activities in 20182019 included net borrowings of $903$713 million, which were partially offset by common stock repurchases of $200 million and dividends on our common stock of $100$37 million.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities (On-Balance Sheet)

GEBV and certain other of our European subsidiaries are parties to a pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility that expires in 2023. 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 18, 2018 through October 15, 2020, the designated maximum amount of the facility is €320 million.

The facility involves the 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) September 26, 2023, (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 senior secured credit facilities; certain tax law changes; or certain changes to law, regulation or accounting standards), or (d) our request for early termination of the facility.

Accounts Receivable Factoring Facilities (Off-Balance Sheet)

We have sold certain of our trade receivables under off-balance sheet programs during the first nine months of 2019.programs. For these programs, we have concluded that there is generally no risk of loss to us from non-payment of the sold receivables.

Supplier Financing

We have entered into payment processing agreements with several financial institutions. Under these agreements, the financial institution acts as our paying agent with respect to accounts payable due to our suppliers. These agreements also allow our suppliers to sell their receivables to the financial institutions at the sole discretion of both the supplier and the financial institution

on terms that are negotiated between 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 the programs. Agreements for such financing programs totaled up to $500 million atSeptember 30, 2019 March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018.2019.

Further Information

After 2021, it is unclear whether banks will continue to provide LIBOR submissions to the administrator of LIBOR, and no consensus currently exists as to what benchmark rate or rates may become accepted alternatives to LIBOR. In the United States,

efforts to identify a set of alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rates include proposals by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee that has been convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Additionally, the

International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. launched a consultation on technical issues related to new benchmark fallbacks for derivative contracts that reference certain interbank offered rates, including LIBOR. We cannot currently predict the effect of the discontinuation of, or other changes to, LIBOR or any establishment of alternative reference rates in the United States, the European Union or elsewhere on the global capital markets. The uncertainty regarding the future of LIBOR, as well as the transition from LIBOR to any alternative reference rate or rates, could have adverse impacts on floating rate obligations, loans, deposits, derivatives and other financial instruments that currently use LIBOR as a benchmark rate. We are in the process of evaluatinghave identified and evaluated our financing obligations and other contracts that refer to LIBOR and expect to be able to transition those obligations and contracts to an alternative reference rate in the event of the discontinuation of LIBOR. Our amended and restated first lien revolving credit facility, our second lien term loan facility and our European revolving credit facility, which constitute the most significant of our LIBOR-based debt obligations that mature after 2021, contain “fallback” provisions that address the potential discontinuation of LIBOR and facilitate the adoption of an alternate rate of interest. Our first lien revolving credit facility matures in 2021 and weWe have not issued any long term floating rate notes. Our amended and restated first lien revolving credit facility and second lien term loan facility also contain express provisions for the use, at our option, of an alternative base rate (the higher of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds effective rate or the overnight bank funding rate plus 50 basis points or (c) LIBOR plus 100 basis points). We do not believe that the discontinuation of LIBOR, or its replacement with an alternative reference rate or rates, will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

For a further description of the terms of our outstanding notes, first lien revolving credit facility, second lien term loan facility,

European revolving credit facility and pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility, please refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 15, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20182019 (the "2018"2019 Form 10‑K") and Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 9,10, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in this Form 10-Q.

Covenant Compliance

Our first and second lien credit facilities and some of the indentures governing our notes contain 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. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. Our first and second lien credit facilities and the indentures governing our notes also have customary defaults, including cross-defaults to material indebtedness of Goodyear and its subsidiaries.

We have additional financial covenants in our first and second lien credit facilities that are currently not applicable. We only become subject to these financial covenants when certain events occur. These financial covenants and related events are as follows:

We become subject to the financial covenant contained in our first lien revolving credit facility 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 $200 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 March 31, 2020, our availability under this facility of $1,062 million, plus our Available Cash of $139 million, totaled $1,201 million, which is in excess of $200 million.

We become subject to the financial covenant contained in our first lien revolving credit facility 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 $200 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, 2019, our availability under this facility of $1,411 million, plus our Available Cash of $177 million, totaled $1,588 million, which is in excess of $200 million.

We become subject to a covenant contained in our second lien credit facility upon certain asset sales. The covenant provides that, before we use cash proceeds from certain asset sales to repay any junior lien, senior unsecured or subordinated indebtedness, we must first offer to use such cash proceeds to prepay borrowings under the second lien credit facility unless our ratio of Consolidated Net Secured Indebtedness to EBITDA (Pro Forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is equal to or less than 3.0 to 1.0.

In addition, our European revolving credit facility contains non-financial covenants similar to the non-financial covenants in our first and second lien credit facilities that are described above 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, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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. Certain of our senior note indentures have substantially similar limitations on incurring debt and making restricted payments. Our credit facilities and indentures 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, 2019,March 31, 2020, 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 Secured Indebtedness,” “Pro Forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Net GEBV Indebtedness” and “Consolidated GEBV EBITDA” have the meanings given them in the respective credit facilities.

Potential Future Financings

In addition to our previous financing activities, 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


- 49-




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 Repurchase Program

Under our primary credit facilities and some of our note indentures, 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 or indentures following the payment, and certain financial tests are satisfied.

In the first ninethree months of 2019,2020, we paid cash dividends of $111$37 million on our common stock. This amount excludes dividends earned on stock basedstock-based compensation plans of approximately $1 million for the first ninethree months of 2019.2020. On October 7, 2019,April 16, 2020, we announced that we have temporarily suspended the Board of Directors (or duly authorized committee thereof) declared cash dividends $0.16 per share of common stock, or approximately $37 million in the aggregate. Thequarterly dividend will be paid on December 2, 2019 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 1, 2019. Future quarterly dividends are subject to Board approval.

On September 18, 2013, the Board of Directors approved our common stock repurchase program. From time to time, the Board of Directors has approved increases in the amount authorized to be purchased under that program. On February 2, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a further increase in that authorization to an aggregate of $2.1 billion. This program expires on December 31, 2019, and is intended to be used, subject to our cash flow, to repurchase shares of common stock in open market transactions in order to offset new shares issued under equity compensation programs and to provide for additional shareholder returns. During the first nine months of 2019, we did not repurchase any common stock. Since 2013, we repurchased 52,905,959 shares at an average price, including commissions, of $28.99 per share, or $1,534 million in the aggregate. We do not expect to make a significant amount of share repurchases in 2019.

The restrictions imposed by our credit facilities and indentures did not affect our ability to pay the dividends on or repurchase our capitalcommon stock as described above, and are not expected to affect our ability to pay similar dividends or make similar repurchases in the future.

future when we reinstate our dividend.

Asset Dispositions

The restrictions on asset sales imposed by our material indebtedness have not affected our ability to divest non-core businesses, and those divestitures have not affected our ability to comply with those restrictions.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

Certain of our subsidiaries, which are listed on Exhibit 22 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are generally holding companies or smaller operating companies, have guaranteed our obligations under the $282 million outstanding principal amount of 8.75% notes due 2020, the $1.0 billion outstanding principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2023, the $900 million outstanding principal amount of 5% senior notes due 2026 and the $700 million outstanding principal amount of 4.875% senior notes due 2027 (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

35


Table of contents

and several basis by each of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries that also guarantee our obligations under certain of our senior secured credit facilities (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:

- 50-

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

36


Table of contents

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

We utilize derivative financial instrument contracts and nonderivative instruments to manage interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity price risks. We have established a control environment that includes policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Commodity Price Risk

The raw materialmaterials costs to which our operations are principally exposed include the cost of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black, fabrics, steel cord and other petrochemical-based commodities. Approximately two-thirds of our raw materials are petroleum-based, the cost of which may be affected by fluctuations in the price of oil. We currently do not hedge commodity prices. We do, however, use various strategies to partially offset cost increases for raw materials, including centralizing purchases of raw materials through our global procurement organization in an effort to leverage our purchasing power, expanding our capabilities to substitute lower cost raw materials, and reducing the amount of material required in each tire.

Interest Rate Risk

We continuously monitor our fixed and floating rate debt mix. Within defined limitations, we manage the mix using refinancing. At September 30, 2019, 42%March 31, 2020, 41% of our debt was at variable interest rates averaging 4.18%3.41%.

The sensitivity of our fixed rate debt to changes in interest rates was determined using current market pricing models.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We enter into foreign currency contracts in order to reduce the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results of operations and future foreign currency-denominated cash flows. These contracts reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted transactions resulting primarily from trade purchases and sales, equipment acquisitions, intercompany loans and royalty agreements. Contracts hedging short term trade receivables and payables normally have no hedging designation.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” which, consistent with Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we define to mean controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’sSEC’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There werehave been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2019period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented new internal controls during the first quarter

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Asbestos Litigation

As reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, we were one of numerous defendants in legal proceedings in certain state and federal courts involving approximately 43,10039,600 claimants relating to their alleged exposure to materials containing asbestos in products allegedly manufactured by us or asbestos materials present in our facilities. During the first ninethree months of 2019,2020, approximately 1,200300 new claims were filed against us and approximately 4,400700 were settled or dismissed. The amounts expended on asbestos defense and claim resolution by Goodyear and its insurance carriers during the thirdfirst quarter and the first nine months of 2019 were $6 million and $17 million, respectively.2020 was $2 million.

Refer to Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 13,14, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, in this Form 10-Q for additional information on asbestos litigation.

Reference is made to Item 3 of Part I of our 20182019 Form 10-K and to Item 1 of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2019 for additional discussion of legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our results of operations have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Our future results of operations, financial condition and liquidity are expected to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, and that impact may be material.

The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in significant volatility in the global economy and led to a dramatic reduction in economic activity worldwide.  International, federal, state and local public health and governmental authorities have taken extraordinary actions to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 throughout most regions of the world, including travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and similar mandates that have caused many individuals to substantially restrict their daily activities and many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations.

The tire industry has been particularly negatively impacted by this evolving situation, characterized by a sudden and sharp decline in replacement tire demand and original equipment manufacturers suspending or severely limiting automobile production globally.  Our results have been, and are likely to continue to be, adversely impacted by this economic disruption, including lower tire unit volumes, sales, income and cash flow.  In addition, our ability to continue implementing important strategic initiatives and capital expenditures may be reduced as we devote time and other resources to responding to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In March 2020, we announced the suspension of production at our manufacturing facilities in Europe and the Americas due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Throughout the first quarter of 2020, production was also suspended or significantly limited in several other locations globally, most notably at our Pulandian, China manufacturing facility.  Our Pulandian facility resumed production in February 2020 and we currently plan a phased restart of production in Europe and the Americas during the second quarter.  Our decisions to resume production will be based on an evaluation of market demand signals, inventory and supply levels, as well as our ability to safeguard the health of our associates.  While we intend to resume production as described above, we may experience unexpected delays or obstacles, such as disruptions in our supply chain or government mandates, that may hamper our ability to resume operations.  Further, we may not be able to operate at optimal levels of efficiency given new work rules and procedures that will need to be implemented to protect our associates.  The continued suspension of production at our manufacturing facilities, or difficulties or inefficiencies in resuming production, is likely to adversely impact our future results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and that impact may be material.

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.  If the COVID-19 pandemic continues for an extended period of time or worsens, our liquidity position may deteriorate.  While we are actively monitoring our liquidity and have taken a number of actions aimed at mitigating the negative consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic on our cash flows and liquidity, our cash flow from operating activities may continue to decline if global economic activity remains low and we may be unable to have sufficient access to credit or other capital.  For example, the borrowing base under our first lien revolving credit facility is dependent, in significant part, on our eligible accounts receivable and inventory, which have declined as a result of our lower sales and production levels due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Additionally, our European revolving credit facility contains a leverage ratio covenant applicable to Goodyear Europe B.V. and its subsidiaries.  While we are currently in compliance with this covenant, if we were unable to satisfy this covenant in the future or obtain a waiver from our lenders, we would no longer be able to access our €800 million European revolving credit facility or our pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility.

The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate duration and scope of the pandemic, its impact on our customers and suppliers, how quickly normal economic conditions, operations and the demand for our products can resume, and whether the pandemic leads to recessionary conditions in any of our key markets.  Government-sponsored liquidity or stimulus programs in response to the

41


Table of contents

COVID-19 pandemic may not be available to us or our customers or suppliers, and if available, may be insufficient to address the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Accordingly, the ultimate impact on our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity cannot be determined at this time.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated several of the risks disclosed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2019 Form 10-K, including, but not limited to, the following (which are identified by their caption):

If we do not successfully implement our strategic initiatives, our operating results, financial condition and liquidity may be materially adversely affected.

Our long term ability to meet our obligations, to repay maturing indebtedness or to implement strategic initiatives may be dependent on our ability to access capital markets in the future and to improve our operating results.

Financial difficulties, work stoppages, supply disruptions or economic conditions affecting our major customers, dealers or suppliers could harm our business.

Our capital expenditures may not be adequate to maintain our competitive position and may not be implemented in a timely or cost-effective manner.

We have a substantial amount of debt, which could restrict our growth, place us at a competitive disadvantage or otherwise materially adversely affect our financial health.

Any failure to be in compliance with any material provision or covenant of our debt instruments, or a material reduction in the borrowing base under our revolving credit facility, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and operations.

We have substantial fixed costs and, as a result, our operating income fluctuates disproportionately with changes in our net sales.

Refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 20182019 Form 10-K for a discussion of our risk factors.
