The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (NASDAQ: GT)* reported fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results today. The 2025 2025 net loss came in at -$1.7 billion. The 2025 net sales were $18.3 billion, with tire unit volumes totaling 158.7 million.
“We delivered another strong quarter, driven by execution of our Goodyear Forward plan,” said Mark Stewart, chief executive officer and president. “Our fourth quarter results mark the highest segment operating income and margin the company has achieved in more than seven years. While we continue to face challenging industry conditions in the first quarter, we are operating with greater focus and discipline on the elements within our control – much as we did throughout 2025 – to navigate the current environment.”
Goodyear’s fourth quarter 2025 net sales were $4.9 billion, with tire unit volumes totaling 42.3 million. After adjusting for the impact of the sales of its Off-the-Road (OTR) tire and Chemical businesses of $227 million, organic net sales increased 4%. Fourth quarter 2025 Goodyear net income was $105 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to Goodyear net income one year ago of $73 million, or $0.25 per share. The fourth quarter of 2025 included several significant items, including, on a pre-tax basis, gains on asset sales of $116 million, and an insurance recovery of $56 million, offset by pension settlement charges of $129 million, rationalization charges, asset write-offs, and accelerated depreciation and leases of $50 million and discrete tax items of $6 million.
Fourth quarter 2025 adjusted net income was $113 million, compared to adjusted net income of $111 million in the prior year’s quarter. Adjusted earnings per share was $0.39, which includes several items, notably an adjustment for an insurance recovery of $56 million, or $0.19 per share, in the fourth quarter, compared to $0.38 in the prior year’s quarter. Per share amounts are diluted.
Segment Results
The company reported total segment operating income of $416 million in Q4 2025, compared to $382 million from a year ago. After adjusting for the impact of the sales of its Off-the-Road (OTR) tire and Chemical businesses of $30 million, organic segment operating income increased $64 million, or 18%. The increase in segment operating income reflects benefits from Goodyear Forward of $192 million and favorable price/mix versus raw material costs of $197 million, offset by inflation, tariffs, and other costs of $227 million, and the impact of lower volume of $92 million, Goodyear said in a release.
Goodyear Forward
Goodyear Forward delivered $192 million of benefits in Q$ of 2025. “Since inception, the program has generated $1.25 billion of cumulative segment operating income benefits, exceeding its original commitment by approximately $150 million. At the end of 2025, the company had reached a $1.5 billion run-rate over the two-year program.
“Additionally, in 2025, Goodyear generated $2.3 billion of proceeds from divestitures and other asset sales, including the sales of its Chemical and OTR businesses and the Dunlop brand, which were primarily used to reduce debt. This exceeded the Company’s asset sale proceeds target by approximately $300 million,” Goodyear said.
