The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
In the reported quarter, the Americas segment generated revenues of $2.69 billion, which declined 8.2% year over year and missed our estimate of $2.82 billion due to lower replacement volume and unfavorable price/mix. The segment registered an operating income of $241 million, which surged 134% from the year-ago period's figures. The operating margin benefited from lower transportation costs, Goodyear Forward initiatives and favorable net price/mix. The figure surpassed our expectation of $224.4 million.
Revenues in the Europe, Middle East and Africa segment were $1.28 billion, down 4.6% from the year-ago period's levels due to the adverse impact of foreign currency exchange rates and lower replacement volume. The figure also missed our estimate of $1.35 billion. The operating income for the segment was $35 million, which rose 284.2% on a year-over-year basis due to favorable net price/mix, a net gain on insurance recoveries and the Goodyear Forward plan.
Revenues in the Asia Pacific segment rose 1.2% year over year to $594 million due to higher original equipment volume but missed our estimate of $615.3 million. The segment’s operating profit was $63 million, up 57.5% from the year-ago quarter’s figure due to favorable net price/mix, higher volume and benefits from the Goodyear Forward plan. The figure, however, missed our estimate of $65.2 million.
