Goodyear (GT) Earnings Miss Estimate in Q3, Decline Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (GT - Free Report) reported adjusted earnings per share of 45 cents in third-quarter 2019 compared with 68 cents recorded in the prior-year quarter. Further, its earnings missed the Zack Consensus Estimate of 50 cents. The underperformance stemmed from unfavourable foreign-currency translation and lower third-party chemical sales. The company reported net income of $105 million, down from the year-ago quarter’s $163 million.
The company delivered net revenues of $3.8 billion, lower than $3.93 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Also, its revenue figure missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $3.87 billion.
In the reported quarter, tire volume was 40.3 million units, down 1% from the year-ago quarter. Original equipment unit volume decreased 5%, due to lower global vehicle production, while replacement tire shipments increased 1% from the year-ago quarter.
Segment operating income was $294 million, down from the year-ago quarter’s $362 million. The year-over-year downside resulted from elevated raw-material costs as well as lower volume and the non-recurrence of a favorable indirect tax settlement in Brazil. These were partly offset by improvements in price/mix.

Revenues in the Americas segment declined year over year from $2.1 billion to $2.05 billion. The segment’s operating income was $175 million, down from $194 million recorded in third-quarter 2018.

Revenues in the Europe, Middle East and Africa segment were $1.2 billion, down 6.59% year over year. The segment’s operating income plunged 40.5% to $66 million.
