Goodyear Reports Record Second Quarter Earnings
www.chinaspv.com: The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (Shanghai) reported record earnings for the second quarter of 2013 in July 30, 2013.
"Our outstanding second quarter earnings demonstrate the disciplined execution of our strategies by Goodyear associates around the globe as our operations become more efficient, reliable and integrated," said Richard J. Kramer, chairman and chief executive officer. "We are leveraging this increased integration along with our product innovation to deliver sustainable earnings improvement through the cycle."
"We achieved significantly higher earnings, with record operating income in North America and Asia Pacific," he said. "Our objective remains to focus on profitable targeted market segments where we can capture the value of our brands and prepare ourselves to take advantage of the market recovery when it comes."
All four of Goodyear's regional businesses achieved higher operating income in the second quarter compared to the year-ago period. Three businesses posted higher tire unit volumes than last year.
"Our strong first-half performance gives us confidence in our full-year outlook for global segment operating income, which we now expect to be about $1.5 billion, at the high end of our previously announced range of $1.4 billion to $1.5 billion, and the highest ever achieved by the company," Kramer said.
Goodyear's second quarter 2013 sales were $4.9 billion, compared to $5.2 billion a year ago. Second quarter 2013 sales reflect $35 million in higher tire unit volumes, more than offset by $131 million in lower sales in other tire-related businesses, most notably third party chemical sales in North America; $75 million in lower price/mix, despite continued favorable mix; and $60 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation. Tire unit volumes totaled 39.5 million, up 1 percent from 2012.
The company reported record segment operating income of $428 million in the second quarter of 2013. This was up 27 percent from the year-ago quarter, reflecting favorable price/mix net of raw materials of $92 million, cost savings net of inflation of $38 million (including raw material cost savings of $53 million) and $11 million in higher tire unit volumes, partially offset by unabsorbed overhead of $47 million resulting from lower production and $12 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation.
Asia Pacific
Asia Pacific's second quarter sales decreased $15 million from last year to $585 million. Sales reflect a 5 percent increase in tire unit volume, offset by reduced price/mix, $12 million in lower sales in other tire-related businesses and $10 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation. Original equipment unit volume was up 4 percent. Replacement tire shipments were up 6 percent.
Second quarter segment operating income of $91 million was up 28 percent from last year and a record for any quarter. Segment operating income was positively impacted by favorable price/mix net of raw materials of $11 million, lower factory start-up costs of $9 million and $7 million in higher tire unit volumes, which more than offset $5 million in higher conversion costs and $4 million in unfavorable foreign currency translation.
