Goodyear announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024, showcasing a significant turnaround with a net income of $70 million for the year compared to a loss in the previous year. The company’s strategic initiatives under the Goodyear Forward transformation plan have been pivotal in driving these improvements.
Key financial highlights include a net income of $76 million for the fourth quarter and $114 million in adjusted net income, reflecting substantial progress compared to the previous year’s losses. The company’s full-year sales reached $18.9 billion, with an operating income increase of $350 million, attributed to the Goodyear Forward plan and optimized cost structures. Despite a decline in tire unit volumes, the company managed to maintain robust operating margins across its business units.
Segment-wise, the Americas recorded a 5.8% decline in sales due to reduced volumes and unfavorable pricing, while EMEA saw a 3.7% increase driven by higher tire demand. The Asia Pacific region experienced a decrease in sales due to lower replacement volumes, yet improvements in operating income were noted. The Goodyear Forward initiative continues to propel the company towards achieving $1.5 billion in annual benefits by 2025.
Looking ahead, Goodyear remains committed to further margin expansion and meaningful debt reduction as outlined in their Goodyear Forward targets, setting a positive outlook for the upcoming years.
