The company reported segment operating income of $339 million in the second quarter of 2024, up $215 million from a year ago. The increase in segment operating income reflects benefits of $99 million from price/mix versus raw materials, $90 million from the Goodyear Forward transformation plan, $63 million from insurance claim recoveries, net of related expenses, and $50 million from the 2023 negative impact of the Tupelo storm. These were partly offset by the impact of lower tire volume of $41 million and unfavorable fixed overhead absorption of $35 million.
Year-to-Date Results
Goodyear’s sales for the first six months of 2024 were $9.1 billion with tire unit volumes totaling 80.5 million. First half 2024 Goodyear net income was $28 million (10 cents per share) compared to a Goodyear net loss of $309 million ($1.08 per share loss) a year ago. The year over year improvement was driven by increases in segment operating income. The first half of 2024 also included several significant items including, on a pre-tax basis, Goodyear Forward costs of $67 million, rationalization charges of $41 million, and a benefit of $86 million from asset and other sales. The first half of 2023 included pre-tax rationalization charges of $104 million and a $52 million benefit from asset and other sales.
First half 2024 adjusted net income was $83 million compared to an adjusted net loss of $179 million in the prior year. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.29, compared to a loss of $0.63 in the prior year.
The company reported segment operating income of $586 million for the first six months of 2024, up $337 million from a year ago. The increase in segment operating income reflects benefits of $227 million from price/mix versus raw materials, $162 million from the Goodyear Forward transformation plan, $52 million from insurance claim recoveries, net of related expenses, and $50 million from the 2023 negative impact of the Tupelo storm. These were partially offset by lower tire volume of $69 million, a net headwind of $58 million from higher inflationary costs, and unfavorable fixed overhead absorption of $33 million.
