Financial and Other Information Related to the Sale of the OTR Business

Goodyear is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide certain pro forma financial information giving effect to the sale of its off-the-road tire business (the “OTR Business”). As previously disclosed in Goodyear’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 3, 2025, pursuant to the Share and Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of July 22, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and between Goodyear and The Yokohama Rubber Company, Limited, a Japanese company (kabushiki kaisha) (the “Buyer”), Goodyear sold its OTR Business to the Buyer for a gross cash consideration of approximately $905 million, subject to certain customary adjustments.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2024 as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of Goodyear for (i) the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and (ii) the year ended December 31, 2024, and the notes related thereto (the “pro forma financial information”), giving effect to the sale of the OTR Business as if it occurred on January 1, 2024.

The pro forma financial information included in this Current Report on Form 8-K has been presented for informational purposes only. It does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that Goodyear would have achieved had it sold the OTR Business on January 1, 2024 and is not intended to project the future results of operations that Goodyear may achieve.
