Goodyear Posts Q2 Loss, Sales Top Estimates
Goodyear Tire reported second-quarter 2020 adjusted loss per share of $1.87, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $2.10. Higher-than-expected net sales of tires in America led to lower-than expected loss. Precisely, net sales in America were $1,134 million, surpassing the consensus mark of $798 million.
The bottom line deteriorated from earnings per share of 25 cents recorded in the prior-year quarter due to lower revenues across all segments. Lower industry volume and reduced sales amid the coronavirus pandemic weighed on the firm’s results.
It delivered net revenues of $2,144 million, lower than $3,632 million reported in the year-ago quarter. However, revenues surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,786 million.
For the reported quarter, tire volume was 20.4 million units, down 45% from the year-ago period. Original equipment unit volume decreased 62% due to reduced vehicle production amid factory shutdowns and replacement tire shipments declined 39% from the year-ago quarter owing to lower consumer demand and temporary store closures amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Key Takeaways

The segment incurred an operating loss of $287 million against income of $134 million in second-quarter 2019. The year-over-year decline was due to reduced volume and weak factory utilization.
