Goodyear's Q2 2023 sales decreased by 6.6% compared to the prior year, driven by lower volume and foreign exchange impacts, though partly offset by strong price/mix. The company reported a net loss of $208 million, a decrease from the net income of $166 million in the same quarter last year.
Second quarter segment operating income was $124 million, down $240 million compared to prior year.
Tire unit volume totaled 40.8 million units, down 10.7% from prior year levels.
Adjusted earnings per share on a diluted basis were a loss of $0.34 compared to income of $0.50 a year ago.
The synergies of the Cooper Tire combination during the quarter totaled approximately $36 million compared with the second quarter of last year.
Third quarter volumes should be helped by improving comparisons. We expect the third quarter to be the first this year where the net effect of price/mix, raw material costs and inflation will be positive.
