Goodyear has extended the timeline for its turnaround plan as the company tries to restructure its business, refinance and pay down years of debt and as key financial targets remain unmet. CEO Mark Stewart told CNBC the iconic tire manufacturer is trying to reach a 10% operating margin and generate meaningful cash flow.
GT's Q2 loss widens as volume pressure weighs on results, while Asia Pacific gains and cash flow improvements offer support.
Goodyear Tire & Rubber NASDAQ: GT reported second-quarter sales of $4.3 billion, down about 5% from a year earlier, as lower tire volumes and the prior-year divestitures of its chemicals business and Dunlop brand outweighed price-and-mix improvements. Excluding those divestitures, sales declined about 1% organically.
