Q1 2025 net income included a significant pre-tax gain of **$260 million** from the sale of the Off-the-Road (OTR) tire business, alongside **$81 million** in rationalization charges and **$7 million** in Goodyear Forward costs[4](index=4&type=chunk) - The decline in segment operating income was driven by higher raw material costs, inflation (**$56 million**), lower tire volume (**$33 million**), and unabsorbed fixed costs (**$19 million**), partially offset by benefits from the Goodyear Forward plan[6](index=6&type=chunk) - The company completed the sale of the Dunlop brand to Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd., further optimizing its portfolio and strengthening the balance sheet[4](index=4&type=chunk)[17](index=17&type=chunk) [Business Segment Results](index=2&type=section&id=Business%20Segment%20Results) This section details the Q1 2025 performance of Goodyear's Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific segments, highlighting sales, volume, and operating income trends [Americas](index=2&type=section&id=Americas) The Americas segment reported a **3.3%** decrease in net sales to **$2.5 billion**, driven by a **3.1%** decline in tire unit volume and negative foreign exchange impacts, with replacement volume falling in line with USTMA member trends, while the company gained market share in the original equipment (O.E.) segment despite a volume decrease, leading to segment operating income falling by **$24 million** to **$155 million** due to higher costs, mostly offset by Goodyear Forward benefits and favorable price/mix Americas Segment Q1 Performance | Metric | Q1 2025 | Q1 2024 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Tire Units (millions) | 18.4 | 19.0 | | Net Sales (millions) | $2,502 | $2,588 | | Segment Operating Income (millions) | $155 | $179 | | Segment Operating Margin | 6.2% | 6.9% | -
