Goodyear Tire (GT - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2022 adjusted earnings per share of 37 cents, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 18 cents.

The bottom line decreased 14% from the year-ago figure of 43 cents.
The company registered net revenues of $4,908 million, surging 39.8% on a year-over-year basis, led by higher volume, favorable pricing, increased sales from other tire-related businesses and synergies from the Cooper Tire buyout. GT recorded the highest first-quarter revenues in 10 years, riding on robust selling prices. The top line also beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4,893.2 million.
In the reported quarter, tire volume was 45 million units, up 29% from the year-ago period. Replacement tire shipments increased 35%, benefiting from the buyout of Cooper Tire. Original equipment unit volume also increased 9% year over year, reflecting market share gains.
