NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the “Company,” “Goodyear,” “we,” “us” or “our”) in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10-K”).
We are a party to shareholder agreements concerning certain of our less-than-wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Under the terms of certain of these agreements, the minority shareholders have the right to require us to purchase their ownership interests in the respective subsidiaries if there is a change in control of Goodyear or a bankruptcy of Goodyear. Accordingly, we have reported the minority equity in those subsidiaries outside of Shareholders’ Equity.
Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected in subsequent quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2012.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update requiring new disclosures about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either offset by or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The standards update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In July 2012, the FASB issued an accounting standards update with new guidance on annual impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets. The standards update allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If based on its qualitative assessment an entity concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if an entity concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. The standards update is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2012, we adopted an accounting standards update with new guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This standard provides guidance on the application of fair value accounting where it is already required or permitted by other standards. This standard also requires additional disclosures related to transfers of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy and quantitative and qualitative disclosures related to significant unobservable inputs. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Effective January 1, 2012, we adopted accounting standards updates with guidance on the presentation of other comprehensive income. These standards require an entity to either present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. Accordingly, we have presented net income and other comprehensive income in two consecutive statements.
Reclassifications and Adjustments
Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. In the first quarter of 2012, we recorded an out of period adjustment of $13 million of additional interest expense to correct capitalized interest recorded in prior periods.

During the second quarter of 2012, net rationalization charges of $26 million were recorded. New charges of $27 million were comprised of $11 million for plans initiated in 2012, consisting of $6 million of associate severance costs and $5 million for other exit and non-cancelable lease costs, and $16 million for plans initiated in prior years, consisting of $10 million of associate severance and other related costs and $6 million of other exit and non-cancelable lease costs, mainly due to the July 2011 closure of our Union City, Tennessee manufacturing facility. Substantially all of the new charges relate to future cash outflows. The net charges in 2012 also included the reversal of $1 million of charges for actions no longer needed for their originally intended purposes.
During the first six months of 2012, net rationalization charges of $41 million were recorded. New charges of $43 million were comprised of $18 million for plans initiated in 2012, consisting of $11 million of associate severance costs and $7 million for other exit and non-cancelable lease costs, and $25 million for plans initiated in prior years, consisting of $11 million of associate severance and other related costs and $14 million of other exit and non-cancelable lease costs, mainly due to the July 2011 closure of our Union City, Tennessee manufacturing facility. Substantially all of the new charges relate to future cash outflows. The net charges in the first six months of 2012 also included the reversal of $2 million of charges for actions no longer needed for their originally intended purposes. Approximately 700 associates will be released under 2012 plans, of which approximately 300 associates have been released as of June 30, 2012.
In the first six months of 2012, $34 million was incurred for associate severance payments, including a favorable impact of $3 million of foreign currency translation, and $16 million was incurred for other exit and non-cancelable lease costs.
The accrual balance of $175 million at June 30, 2012 consists of $154 million for associate severance costs that are expected to be substantially utilized within the next 12 months and $21 million primarily for other exit and non-cancelable lease costs. At June 30, 2012, $94 million and $32 million, respectively, of the accrual balance relates to plans associated with the announced discontinuation of consumer tire production at one of our facilities in Amiens, France and the closure of our Union City, Tennessee manufacturing facility.
Accelerated depreciation charges of $4 million and $6 million were recorded in cost of goods sold (“CGS”) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and were related primarily to property and equipment in our Dalian, China manufacturing facility.
In the second quarter of 2011, net rationalization charges of $46 million were recorded. New charges of $46 million were comprised of $11 million for plans initiated in 2011, consisting of $10 million of associate severance costs and $1 million for other exit and

For the first six months of 2011, net rationalization charges of $55 million were recorded. New charges of $57 million were comprised of $12 million for plans initiated in 2011, consisting of $11 million of associate severance costs and $1 million for other exit and non-cancelable lease costs, and $45 million for plans initiated in prior years, consisting of $30 million for associate severance costs and $15 million of other exit and non-cancelable lease costs, mainly due to the July 2011 closure of our Union City, Tennessee manufacturing facility. Substantially all of these charges related to future cash outflows. The net charges in the first six months of 2011 also included the reversal of $2 million of charges for actions no longer needed for their originally intended purposes. Approximately 500 associates will be released under plans initiated in 2011, of which approximately 200 associates have been released as of June 30, 2012. In addition, there are approximately 900 associates to be released under prior year plans, primarily related to the discontinuation of consumer tire production at one of our facilities in Amiens, France.
Asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation charges of $25 million and $34 million were recorded in CGS in the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and were primarily related to property and equipment in our Union City, Tennessee manufacturing facility.

Financing fees were $129 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to $72 million in the first six months of 2011. Financing fees in 2012 also included $86 million of first quarter charges related to the redemption of $650 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 10.5% senior notes due 2016, of which $59 million related to cash premiums paid on the redemption and $27 million related to the write-off of unamortized discount and deferred financing fees. Financing fees in 2011 included the previously mentioned second quarter charges. Financing fees and financial instruments consists of the amortization of deferred financing fees, commitment fees and other charges incurred in connection with financing transactions.
Net foreign currency exchange losses were $6 million in the second quarter of 2012 and the second quarter of 2011. Foreign currency exchange losses in the first six months of 2012 were $17 million, compared to $9 million in the first six months of 2011. Foreign currency exchange in all periods reflects net gains and losses resulting from the effect of exchange rate changes on various foreign currency transactions worldwide.

Net gains on asset sales were $13 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to net gains on asset sales of $11 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net gains on asset sales were $17 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to net gains on asset sales of $13 million in the first six months of 2011. Net gains on asset sales in 2012 included second quarter gains on the sale of a minority interest in a retail business in Europe, Middle East and Africa Tire ("EMEA") and the sale of certain assets related to our bias truck tire business in Latin American Tire, and a first quarter gain on the sale of property in North American Tire. Net gains on asset sales in 2011 included second quarter gains on the sale of the farm tire business in Latin American Tire and the recognition of a deferred gain from the sale of property in North American Tire.
General and product liability — discontinued products includes charges for claims against us related primarily to asbestos personal injury claims, net of probable insurance recoveries. We recorded $2 million and $6 million of expense related to asbestos claims in the second quarter 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, we recorded $2 million and $3 million of income related to probable insurance recoveries in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. We recorded $6 million and $11 million of expense related to asbestos claims in the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, we recorded $4 million and $5 million of income related to probable insurance recoveries in the first six months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Royalty income is derived primarily from licensing arrangements related to divested businesses. Interest income consists primarily of amounts earned on cash deposits. Miscellaneous in 2012 includes a second quarter charge of $20 million related to labor claims in EMEA.
NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
In the second quarter of 2012, we recorded tax expense of $63 million on income before income taxes of $166 million. For the first six months of 2012, we recorded tax expense of $111 million on income before income taxes of $222 million. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2012 was unfavorably impacted by $6 million due primarily to the settlement of prior tax years. We record taxes based on overall estimated annual effective tax rates. The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate was primarily attributable to continuing to maintain a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets in certain international subsidiaries.
In the second quarter of 2011, we recorded tax expense of $64 million on income before income taxes of $120 million. For the first six months of 2011, we recorded tax expense of $126 million on income before income taxes of $306 million. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2011 was unfavorably impacted by $18 million due primarily to the settlement of prior tax years and to increased tax reserves as a result of negative tax court rulings in a foreign jurisdiction.
At January 1, 2012, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $90 million that, if recognized, would have a favorable impact on our tax expense of $84 million. We had accrued interest of $24 million as of January 1, 2012. If not favorably settled, $23 million of the unrecognized tax benefits and all of the accrued interest would require the use of our cash. It is reasonably possible that our unrecognized tax benefits may change during the next 12 months. However, we do not expect changes during the next 12 months to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Generally, years beginning after 2006 are still open to examination by foreign taxing authorities, including in Germany. In the United States, we are open to examination for 2011.

In addition, Goodyear net income used to compute earnings per common share - diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is reduced by $15 million of preferred stock dividends since the inclusion of the related shares of preferred stock would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, weighted average shares outstanding - diluted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 excludes approximately 11 million equivalent shares related to options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of our common shares (i.e., “underwater” options).
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted for the three months ended June 30, 2011 excludes the effect of approximately 30 million equivalent shares related to the mandatory convertible preferred stock as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, Goodyear net income used to compute earnings per common share - diluted for the three months ended June 30, 2011 is reduced by $7 million of preferred stock dividends since the inclusion of the related shares of preferred stock would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, weighted average shares outstanding - diluted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 excludes approximately 6 million and 7 million equivalent shares, respectively, related to options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of our common shares (i.e., “underwater” options).

NOTES
$700 million 7% Senior Notes due 2022
On February 28, 2012, we issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2022. These notes were sold at 100% of the principal amount and will mature on May 15, 2022. These notes are unsecured senior obligations and are guaranteed by our U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries that also guarantee our obligations under our senior secured credit facilities described below.
We have the option to redeem these notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 15, 2017 at a redemption price of 103.5%, 102.333%, 101.167% and 100% during the 12-month periods commencing on May 15, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 and thereafter, respectively, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to May 15, 2017, we may redeem these notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. In addition, prior to May 15, 2015, we may redeem up to 35% of the original aggregate principal amount of these notes from the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 107% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The terms of the indenture for these notes, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries to (i) incur additional debt or issue redeemable preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends, or make certain other restricted payments or investments, (iii) incur liens, (iv) sell assets, (v) incur restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, (vi) enter into affiliate transactions, (vii) engage in sale and leaseback transactions, and (viii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. For example, if these notes are assigned an investment grade rating by Moody's and Standard & Poor's and no default has occurred or is continuing, certain covenants will be suspended. The indenture has customary defaults, including a cross-default to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries.
Redemption of 10.5% Senior Notes due 2016
On March 29, 2012, we redeemed $650 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 10.5% senior notes due 2016 at an aggregate redemption price of $709 million, including a $59 million prepayment premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. We also recorded $27 million of expense for the write-off of unamortized discounts and deferred financing fees as a result of the redemption.
CREDIT FACILITIES
$2.0 billion Amended and Restated First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2017
On April 19, 2012, we amended and restated our U.S. first lien revolving credit facility. Significant changes to the first lien revolving credit facility include the extension of the maturity to 2017 and an increase of the available commitments from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. Loans under this facility initially bear interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points, based on our current liquidity as described below.
Our amended and restated first lien revolving credit facility is available in the form of loans or letters of credit, with letter of credit availability limited to $800 million. Subject to the consent of the lenders whose commitments are to be increased, we may request that the facility be increased by up to $250 million. Our obligations under the facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Our obligations under the facility and our subsidiaries' obligations under the related guarantees are secured by first priority security interests in collateral that includes, subject to certain exceptions:
| |
• | U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable and inventory; |
| |
• | certain of our U.S. manufacturing facilities; |
| |
• | equity interests in our U.S. subsidiaries and up to 65% of the equity interests in our directly owned foreign subsidiaries, excluding Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V. ("GDTE") and its subsidiaries; and |
| |
• | substantially all other tangible and intangible assets, including equipment, contract rights and intellectual property. |
THE GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, after adjusting for customary factors that are subject to modification from time to time by the administrative agent or the majority lenders at their discretion (not to be exercised unreasonably). Modifications are based on the results of periodic collateral and borrowing base evaluations and appraisals. To the extent that our eligible accounts receivable and inventory decline, our borrowing base will decrease and the availability under the facility may decrease below $2.0 billion. In addition, if the amount of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the facility exceeds the borrowing base, we are required to prepay borrowings and/or cash collateralize letters of credit sufficient to eliminate the excess. As of June 30, 2012, our borrowing base, and therefore our availability, under this facility was $135 million below the facility's stated amount of $2.0 billion.
The facility, which matures on April 30, 2017, contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries (i) to incur additional debt or issue redeemable preferred stock, (ii) pay dividends, or make certain other restricted payments or investments, (iii) incur liens, (iv) sell assets, (v) incur restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, (vi) enter into affiliate transactions, (vii) engage in sale and leaseback transactions, and (viii) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications. In addition, in the event that the availability under the facility plus the aggregate amount of our Available Cash is less than $200 million, we will not be permitted to allow our ratio of EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense to be less than 2.0 to 1.0 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. “Available Cash,” “EBITDA” and “Consolidated Interest Expense” have the meanings given them in the facility.
The facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material adverse change in our financial condition since December 31, 2011. The facility also has customary defaults, including a cross-default to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries.
If Available Cash (as defined in the facility) plus the availability under the facility is greater than $1.0 billion, amounts drawn under the facility will bear interest, at our option, at (i) 150 basis points over LIBOR or (ii) 50 basis points over an alternative base rate (the higher of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or LIBOR plus 100 basis points), and undrawn amounts under the facility will be subject to an annual commitment fee of 37.5 basis points. If Available Cash plus the availability under the facility is equal to or less than $1.0 billion, then amounts drawn under the facility will bear interest, at our option, at (i) 175 basis points over LIBOR or (ii) 75 basis points over an alternative base rate, and undrawn amounts under the facility will be subject to an annual commitment fee of 25 basis points.
At June 30, 2012, we had no borrowings and $408 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2011, we had no borrowings and $407 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.
$1.2 billion Amended and Restated Second Lien Term Loan Facility due 2019
On April 19, 2012, we also amended and restated our U.S. second lien term loan facility, including the extension of the maturity to 2019. The term loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 375 basis points, subject to a minimum LIBOR rate of 100 basis points. In addition, the amended and restated second lien term loan was issued with an original issue discount of 200 basis points and is subject to a call protection premium of 100 basis points if any specified repricing event occurs prior to April 19, 2013.
Our amended and restated second lien term loan facility may be increased by up to $300 million at our request, subject to the consent of the lenders making such additional term loans. Our obligations under this facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by second priority security interests in the same collateral securing the $2.0 billion first lien revolving credit facility. The facility, which matures on April 30, 2019, contains covenants, representations, warranties and defaults similar to those in the $2.0 billion first lien revolving credit facility. In addition, if our Pro Forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (the ratio of Consolidated Net Secured Indebtedness to EBITDA) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is greater than 3.0 to 1.0, before we may use cash proceeds from certain asset sales to repay any junior lien, senior unsecured or subordinated indebtedness, we must first offer to use such cash proceeds to prepay borrowings under the second lien term loan facility. “Pro Forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Net Secured Indebtedness” and “EBITDA” have the meanings given them in the facility. Loans under this facility bear interest, at our option, at (i) 375 basis points over LIBOR (subject to a minimum LIBOR rate of 100 basis points) or (ii) 275 basis points over an alternative base rate (the higher of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 50 basis points or LIBOR plus 100 basis points).
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, this facility was fully drawn.

Our amended and restated €400 million European revolving credit facility consists of (i) a €100 million German tranche that is available only to Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH (the “German borrower”) and (ii) a €300 million all-borrower tranche that is available to GDTE, the German borrower and certain of GDTE’s other subsidiaries. Up to €50 million in letters of credit are available for issuance under the all-borrower tranche.
GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, France and Germany provide guarantees to support the facility. The German guarantors secure the German tranche on a first-lien basis and the all-borrower tranche on a second-lien basis. GDTE and its other subsidiaries that provide guarantees secure the all-borrower tranche on a first-lien basis and do not provide collateral support for the German tranche. The Company and its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries that guarantee our U.S. senior secured credit facilities described above also provide unsecured guarantees in support of the facility.
The facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material adverse change in our financial condition since December 31, 2010. The facility also has customary defaults, including a cross-default to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries.
At June 30, 2012, there were $127 million (€100 million) of borrowings outstanding under the German tranche and $165 million (€130 million) outstanding under the all-borrower tranche. At December 31, 2011, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Letters of credit issued under the all-borrower tranche totaled $8 million (€6 million) at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
International Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities (On-Balance Sheet)
GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility that provides up to €450 million of funding and expires in 2015. Utilization under this facility is based on current available receivable balances. The facility is subject to customary annual renewal of back-up liquidity commitments.
The facility involves an ongoing daily sale of substantially all of the trade accounts receivable of certain GDTE subsidiaries to a bankruptcy-remote French company controlled by one of the liquidity banks in the facility. These subsidiaries retain servicing responsibilities. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amount available, and fully utilized under this program, totaled $395 million (€312 million) and $393 million (€303 million), respectively. The program did not qualify for sale accounting, and accordingly, these amounts are included in Long term debt and capital leases.
In addition to the pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility discussed above, subsidiaries in Australia have an accounts receivable securitization program totaling $79 million and $75 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The receivables sold under this program also serve as collateral for the related facility. We retain the risk of loss related to these receivables in the event of non-payment. These amounts are included in Long term debt and capital leases at June 30, 2012 as this facility was renegotiated in the second quarter of 2012. These amounts are included in Notes payable and overdrafts at December 31, 2011.
For a description of the collateral securing the European revolving credit facility and the pan-European accounts receivable facility as well as the covenants applicable to them, refer to the Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 15, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in our 2011 Form 10-K.
Accounts Receivable Factoring Facilities (Off-Balance Sheet)
Various subsidiaries sold certain of their trade receivables under off-balance sheet programs. For these programs, we have concluded that there is generally no risk of loss to us from non-payment of the sold receivables. At June 30, 2012, the gross amount of receivables sold was $239 million, compared to $190 million at December 31, 2011.

Other Foreign Credit Facilities
Our Chinese subsidiary has two financing agreements in China. At June 30, 2012, these non-revolving credit facilities had total unused availability of 667 million renminbi ($106 million) and can only be used to finance the relocation and expansion of our manufacturing facility in China. The facilities contain covenants relating to our Chinese subsidiary and have customary representations and warranties and defaults relating to our Chinese subsidiary’s ability to perform its obligations under the facilities. One of the facilities (with 642 million renminbi of unused availability at June 30, 2012) matures in 2018 and principal amortization begins in 2015. There were $265 million and $199 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The other facility (with 25 million renminbi of unused availability at June 30, 2012) matures in 2019 and principal amortization begins in 2015. There were $204 million and $190 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Restricted cash of $27 million and $9 million was related to funds obtained under these credit facilities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
OTHER DOMESTIC DEBT
Global and North American Tire Headquarters
On April 13, 2011, we entered into agreements for the construction of a new Global and North American Tire Headquarters facility in Akron, Ohio. We concurrently entered into an agreement to occupy the facility under a 27-year lease, including the two-year construction period, with multiple renewal options available at our discretion. In addition, on October 31, 2011, we entered into similar agreements for the construction and lease of a new parking deck adjacent to the Headquarters facility. Due to our continuing involvement with the financing during construction of the Headquarters facility and the parking deck, we will record a non-cash increase to fixed assets and financing liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as costs are incurred during the construction period. The total cost of the project is expected to be $200 million, of which approximately $60 million will be funded by government financing and incentives. The total financing liability is expected to approximate $140 million, of which $85 million has been recorded in long term debt and capital leases at June 30, 2012.
Debt Maturities
Updates to our debt maturities in our 2011 Form 10-K are provided below and reflect the issuance of our 7% senior notes due 2022, the redemption of our 10.5% senior notes due 2016 and the amendment and restatement of our $1.2 billion second lien term loan.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We utilize derivative financial instrument contracts and nonderivative instruments to manage interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity price risks. We have established a control environment that includes policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Foreign Currency Contracts
We will enter into foreign currency contracts in order to manage the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results of operations and future foreign currency-denominated cash flows. These contracts reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted transactions resulting primarily from trade purchases and sales, equipment acquisitions, intercompany loans and royalty agreements. Contracts hedging short term trade receivables and payables normally have no hedging designation.

The counterparties to our foreign currency contracts were considered by us to be substantial and creditworthy financial institutions that are recognized market makers at the time we entered into those contracts. We seek to control our credit exposure to these counterparties by diversifying across multiple counterparties, by setting counterparty credit limits based on long term credit ratings and other indicators of counterparty credit risk such as credit default swap spreads, and by monitoring the financial strength of these counterparties on a regular basis. We also enter into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible. By controlling and monitoring exposure to counterparties in this manner, we believe that we effectively manage the risk of loss due to nonperformance by a counterparty. However, the inability of a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations to us could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations in the period in which it occurs.

During the second quarter of 2011, we recognized a settlement charge of $11 million related to one of our U.S. pension plans. This settlement charge resulted from total lump sum payments through June 30, 2011 exceeding estimated annual service and interest cost for the plan.
We expect to contribute approximately $550 million to $600 million to our funded U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans in 2012. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we contributed $27 million and $81 million, respectively, to our non-U.S. plans and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we contributed $78 million and $129 million, respectively, to our U.S. plans.
The expense recognized for our contributions to defined contribution savings plans for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $23 million and $25 million, respectively, and $50 million and $51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE 10. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
Our Board of Directors granted 1.8 million stock options and 0.2 million performance share units during the six months ended June 30, 2012 under our 2008 Performance Plan. The 2008 Performance Plan will expire on April 8, 2018. The weighted average exercise price per share and weighted average fair value per share of the stock option grants during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $12.94 and $6.37, respectively. We estimated the fair value of the stock options using the following assumptions in our Black-Scholes model:
Expected term: 6.25 years
Interest rate: 1.11%
Volatility: 50.74%
Dividend yield: Nil
We measure the fair value of grants of performance share units based primarily on the closing market price of a share of our common stock on the date of the grant, modified as appropriate to take into account the features of such grants. The weighted average fair value per share was $13.57 for grants made during the six months ended June 30, 2012.
We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $4 million and $5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. At June 30, 2012, unearned compensation cost related to the unvested portion of all stock-based awards was approximately $31 million and is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of the respective grants, through June 2016. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $6 million and $12 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Environmental Matters
We have recorded liabilities totaling $47 million and $46 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, for anticipated costs related to various environmental matters, primarily the remediation of numerous waste disposal sites and certain properties sold by us. Of these amounts, $10 million and $11 million was included in Other Current Liabilities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The costs include legal and consulting fees, site studies, the design and implementation of remediation plans, post-remediation monitoring and related activities, and will be paid over several years. The amount of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may be affected by several uncertainties, primarily the ultimate cost of required remediation and the extent to which other responsible parties contribute. We have limited potential insurance coverage for future environmental claims.
Workers’ Compensation
We have recorded liabilities, on a discounted basis, totaling $309 million and $302 million for anticipated costs related to workers’ compensation at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $71 million and $63 million were included in Current Liabilities as part of Compensation and Benefits at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The costs include an estimate of expected settlements on pending claims, defense costs and a provision for claims incurred but not reported. These estimates are based on our assessment of potential liability using an analysis of available information with respect to pending claims, historical experience, and current cost trends. The amount of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may differ from these estimates. We periodically, and at least annually, update our loss development factors based on actuarial analyses. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the liability was discounted using a risk-free rate of return.
General and Product Liability and Other Litigation
We have recorded liabilities totaling $305 million and $293 million, including related legal fees expected to be incurred, for potential product liability and other tort claims presently asserted against us at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Of these amounts, $43 million and $40 million were included in Other Current Liabilities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The amounts recorded were estimated based on an assessment of potential liability using an analysis of available information with respect to pending claims, historical experience and, where available, recent and current trends. The amount of our ultimate liability in respect of these matters may differ from these estimates.

Asbestos. We are a defendant in numerous lawsuits alleging various asbestos-related personal injuries purported to result from alleged exposure to asbestos in certain products manufactured by us or present in certain of our facilities. Typically, these lawsuits have been brought against multiple defendants in state and Federal courts. To date, we have disposed of approximately 103,300 claims by defending and obtaining the dismissal thereof or by entering into a settlement. The sum of our accrued asbestos-related liability and gross payments to date, including legal costs, by us and our insurers totaled approximately $392 million through June 30, 2012 and $388 million through December 31, 2011.
A summary of recent approximate asbestos claims activity follows. Because claims are often filed and disposed of by dismissal or settlement in large numbers, the amount and timing of settlements and the number of open claims during a particular period can fluctuate significantly. The passage of tort reform laws and creation of deferred dockets for non-malignancy claims in several states has contributed to a decline in the number of claims filed in recent years.

We periodically, and at least annually, review our existing reserves for pending claims, including a reasonable estimate of the liability associated with unasserted asbestos claims, and estimate our receivables from probable insurance recoveries. We had recorded gross liabilities for both asserted and unasserted claims, inclusive of defense costs, totaling $136 million and $138 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At June 30, 2012, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that our gross liabilities, net of our estimate for probable insurance recoveries, could exceed our recorded amounts by approximately $10 million.
We recorded a receivable related to asbestos claims of $69 million and $67 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We expect that approximately 50% of asbestos claim related losses would be recoverable through insurance through the period covered by the estimated liability. Of these amounts, $9 million and $8 million was included in Current Assets as part of Accounts Receivable at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The recorded receivable consists of an amount we expect to collect under coverage-in-place agreements with certain primary carriers as well as an amount we believe is probable of recovery from certain of our excess coverage insurance carriers.
We believe that, at June 30, 2012, we had approximately $160 million in limits of excess level policies potentially applicable to indemnity and defense costs for asbestos products claims. We also had coverage under certain primary policies for indemnity and defense costs for asbestos products claims under remaining aggregate limits, as well as coverage for indemnity and defense costs for asbestos premises claims on a per occurrence basis, pursuant to coverage-in-place agreements at June 30, 2012.
With respect to both asserted and unasserted claims, it is reasonably possible that we may incur a material amount of cost in excess of the current reserve; however, such amounts cannot be reasonably estimated. Coverage under insurance policies is subject to varying characteristics of asbestos claims including, but not limited to, the type of claim (premise vs. product exposure), alleged date of first exposure to our products or premises and disease alleged. Depending upon the nature of these characteristics, as well as the resolution of certain legal issues, some portion of the insurance may not be accessible by us.

Other Actions. We are currently a party to various claims and legal proceedings in addition to those noted above. If management believes that a loss arising from these matters is probable and can reasonably be estimated, we record the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range, and no point within the range is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these matters is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Based on currently available information, management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages or an injunction prohibiting us from selling one or more products. If an unfavorable ruling were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the financial position and results of operations of the period in which the ruling occurs, or in future periods.
Income Tax and Other Tax Matters
The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations. We recognize liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. If we ultimately determine that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, we reverse the liability and recognize a tax benefit during the period in which we determine that the liability is no longer necessary. We also recognize income tax benefits to the extent that it is more likely than not that our positions will be sustained when challenged by the taxing authorities. We derecognize income tax benefits when based on new information we determine that it is no longer more likely than not that our position will be sustained. To the extent we prevail in matters for which liabilities have been established, or determine we need to derecognize tax benefits recorded in prior periods, our results of operations and effective tax rate in a given period could be materially affected. An unfavorable tax settlement would require use of our cash, and lead to recognition of expense to the extent the settlement amount exceeds recorded liabilities and, in the case of an income tax settlement, result in an increase in our effective tax rate in the period of resolution. A favorable tax settlement would be recognized as a reduction of expense to the extent the settlement amount is lower than recorded liabilities and, in the case of an income tax settlement, would result in a reduction in our effective tax rate in the period of resolution.
While the Company applies consistent transfer pricing policies and practices globally, supports transfer prices through economic studies, seeks advance pricing agreements and joint audits to the extent possible and believes its transfer prices to be appropriate, such transfer prices, and related interpretations of tax laws, are occasionally challenged by various taxing authorities globally. We have received various tax assessments challenging our interpretations of applicable tax laws in various jurisdictions. Although we believe we have complied with applicable tax laws, have strong positions and defenses and have historically been successful in defending such claims, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected in the case we are unsuccessful in the defense of existing or future claims.
In September 2011, the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil issued an assessment to us for allegedly improperly taking tax credits for value-added taxes paid to a supplier of natural rubber during the period from January 2006 to August 2008. The assessment, including interest and penalties, totaled 92 million Brazilian real (approximately $46 million). We received similar assessments from the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil in December 2010 for allegedly improperly taking tax credits for value-added taxes paid to other suppliers of natural rubber during the period from January 2006 to October 2009. These assessments, including interest and penalties, totaled 88 million Brazilian real (approximately $43 million). We have filed responses contesting all of the assessments and are defending these matters. In the event we are unsuccessful in defending one or more of these assessments, our results of operations could be materially affected.
Guarantees
We have off-balance sheet financial guarantees written and other commitments totaling approximately $83 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $105 million at December 31, 2011, primarily related to our obligations in connection with the financing of the construction of our new Global and North American Tire Headquarters facility. In addition, we will from time to time issue guarantees to financial institutions or other entities on behalf of certain of our affiliates, lessors or customers. Normally there is no separate premium received by us as consideration for the issuance of guarantees. We also generally do not require collateral in connection with the issuance of these guarantees. If our performance under these guarantees is triggered by non-payment or another specified event, we would be obligated to make payment to the financial institution or the other entity, and would typically have recourse to the affiliate, lessor or customer. The guarantees expire at various times through 2023. We are unable to estimate the extent to which our affiliates’, lessors’ or customers’ assets would be adequate to recover any payments made by us under the related guarantees.

NOTE 12. MANDATORY CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
On March 31, 2011, we issued 10,000,000 shares of our 5.875% mandatory convertible preferred stock, without par value and with an initial liquidation preference of $50.00 per share, at a price of $50.00 per share. Quarterly dividends on each share of the mandatory convertible preferred stock will accrue at a rate of 5.875% per year on the initial liquidation preference of $50.00 per share. Dividends will accrue and accumulate from the date of issuance and, to the extent that we are legally permitted to pay a dividend and the Board of Directors declares a dividend payable, we will pay dividends in cash on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on July 1, 2011 and ending on April 1, 2014.
Unless converted earlier, each share of the mandatory convertible preferred stock will automatically convert on April 1, 2014 into between 2.7454 and 3.4317 shares of common stock, depending on the market value of our common stock for the 20 consecutive trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to April 1, 2014, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. At any time prior to April 1, 2014, holders may elect to convert shares of the mandatory convertible preferred stock at the minimum conversion rate of 2.7454 shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) declared cash dividends of $7 million that were paid in the first quarter of 2012. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) declared cash dividends of $7 million that were paid in the second quarter of 2012. On June 4, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors (or a duly authorized committee thereof) declared cash dividends of $0.7344 per share of mandatory convertible preferred stock or $7 million in the aggregate. The dividend was paid on July 2, 2012 to stockholders of record as of the close of business of June 15, 2012.

NOTE 14. CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Certain of our subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under the $1.0 billion outstanding principal amount of 8.25% senior notes due 2020, the $282 million outstanding principal amount of 8.75% notes due 2020, and the $700 million outstanding principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2022 (collectively, the “notes”). The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information separately for:
| |
(i) | The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company (the “Parent Company”), the issuer of the guaranteed obligations; |
| |
(ii) | Guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the indentures related to Goodyear’s obligations under the notes; |
| |
(iii) | Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis; |
| |
(iv) | Consolidating entries and eliminations representing adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among the Parent Company, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate the investments in our subsidiaries, and (c) record consolidating entries; and |
| |
(v) | The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. |
Each guarantor subsidiary is 100% owned by the Parent Company at the date of each balance sheet presented. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary. The guarantees of the guarantor subsidiaries are subject to release in limited circumstances only upon the occurrence of certain customary conditions. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent Company and guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation. Changes in intercompany receivables and payables related to operations, such as intercompany sales or services charges, are included in cash flows from operating activities. Intercompany transactions reported as investing or financing activities include the sale of the capital stock of various subsidiaries, loans and other capital transactions between members of the consolidated group.
Certain non-guarantor subsidiaries of the Parent Company are limited in their ability to remit funds to it by means of dividends, advances or loans due to required foreign government and/or currency exchange board approvals or limitations in credit agreements or other debt instruments of those subsidiaries.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
All per share amounts are diluted and refer to Goodyear net income (loss) available to common shareholders.
OVERVIEW
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of tires, with one of the most recognizable brand names in the world and operations in most regions of the world. We have a broad global footprint with 53 manufacturing facilities in 22 countries, including the United States. We operate our business through four operating segments representing our regional tire businesses: North American Tire; Europe, Middle East and Africa Tire (“EMEA”); Latin American Tire; and Asia Pacific Tire.
We experienced a difficult economic environment and challenging industry conditions, particularly in Europe, in the second quarter of 2012. Our tire unit shipments in the second quarter of 2012 were down approximately 9% compared to the second quarter of 2011, reflecting weaker replacement volumes, most notably in Europe. Volatile economic conditions and high inflation and interest rates in emerging markets also continued to contribute to challenging industry conditions. In spite of these macroeconomic and industry-specific challenges, we produced improved segment operating income in each of our operating segments other than EMEA in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 -- with North American Tire producing record segment operating income of $188 million.
In the second quarter of 2012, we cut our production by over 5 million units due to the lower sales volumes that we are experiencing. We expect to further cut our production and will take other cost saving actions in the second half of 2012, primarily in response to recessionary economic conditions in Europe. As a result of the production cuts we have made and plan to make in the future, we now expect the net impact of under-absorbed fixed costs to be approximately $150 million of cost in 2012, with the $80 million of expected cost savings from the closure of our Union City, Tennessee manufacturing facility (“Union City”) being more than offset by the impact of production cuts.
Improved price and product mix of $313 million more than offset the impact of raw material cost increases of $238 million on segment operating income, exclusive of the raw material cost savings included in our cost savings plan described below. Price and product mix also drove an 8% improvement in revenue per tire, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011, reflecting our continued focus on driving improved price and product mix through innovative product offerings in targeted market segments.
In the second quarter of 2012, we realized approximately $74 million of cost savings, net of profit sharing costs in North American Tire under our United Steelworkers contract, including $67 million of raw material cost saving measures. We now expect to slightly exceed our 3-year (2010-12) cost savings goal of $1.0 billion. In the second quarter of 2012, we incurred approximately $18 million of under-absorbed fixed overhead costs, net of cost savings from the closure of Union City, due largely to production cuts made in response to decreased demand, primarily in EMEA.
Net sales were $5,150 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $5,620 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net sales were $10,683 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to $11,022 million in the first six months of 2011. Net sales in both periods decreased due to lower tire volumes, unfavorable foreign currency translation, primarily in EMEA, and lower sales in other tire-related businesses, primarily sales of chemical products in North American Tire. These decreases were partially offset by improved price and product mix.
In the second quarter of 2012, Goodyear net income was $92 million, compared to Goodyear net income of $47 million in the second quarter of 2011. In the second quarter of 2012, Goodyear net income available to common shareholders was $85 million, or $0.33 per share, compared to Goodyear net income available to common shareholders of $40 million, or $0.16 per share, in the second quarter of 2011. Our total segment operating income for the second quarter of 2012 was $336 million, compared to $382 million in the second quarter of 2011. The $46 million decrease in segment operating income was due primarily to increased conversion costs and lower tire volume. These were partially offset by improved price and product mix of $313 million, which more than offset an increase in raw material costs of $171 million, including the effect of raw material cost saving measures. See “Results of Operations — Segment Information” for additional information.
In the first six months of 2012, Goodyear net income was $88 million, compared to Goodyear net income of $150 million in the first six months of 2011. In the first six months of 2012, Goodyear net income available to common shareholders was $73 million, or $0.30 per share, reflecting $15 million of preferred stock dividends, compared to Goodyear net income available to common shareholders of $143 million, or $0.57 per share, reflecting $7 million of preferred stock dividends, in the first six months of 2011. Our total segment operating income for the first six months of 2012 was $628 million, compared to segment operating income of $709 million in the first six months of 2011. The $81 million decrease in segment operating income was due primarily to increased conversion costs and lower tire volume. These were partially offset by improved price and product mix of $838 million, which more than offset an increase in raw material costs of $591 million, including the effect of raw material cost saving measures. See "Results of Operations — Segment Information” for additional information.
At June 30, 2012, we had $2,156 million in Cash and cash equivalents as well as $2,496 million of unused availability under our various credit agreements, compared to $2,772 million and $2,544 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $616 million from December 31, 2011 due primarily to cash used to fund a seasonal increase in working capital, capital expenditures and pension funding. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional information.
We now expect that our full-year tire unit volume for 2012 will be down approximately 5% to 7% compared with 2011 due to recessionary economic conditions in Europe and continuing economic weakness in other parts of the world. Global tire industry demand continues to be difficult to predict. For the full year in North America, we now expect consumer replacement to be down 1% to 3%, consumer original equipment to be up 5% to 10%, commercial replacement to be down 5% to 10%, and commercial original equipment to be up 10% to 15%. For the full year in Europe, consumer replacement is expected to be down 8% to 10%, consumer original equipment to be down 5% to 10%, commercial replacement to be down 3% to 8%, and commercial original equipment to be down 5% to 10%.
We expect our raw material costs in the third quarter of 2012 to be essentially flat when compared with the third quarter of 2011. For the full year of 2012, we now expect our raw material costs will increase approximately 7% compared with 2011. Natural and synthetic rubber prices and other commodity prices have experienced significant volatility, and this estimate could change based on fluctuations in the cost of these and other key raw materials. In order to address the impact of rising raw material costs, we are continuing to focus on price and product mix, to substitute lower cost materials where possible and to work to identify additional substitution opportunities, to reduce the amount of material required in each tire, and to pursue alternative raw materials including innovative bio-based materials. However, during periods of rapidly rising raw material costs, we may not be able to fully offset those raw material cost increases through the use of these strategies, although we remain confident in our ability to do so over the longer term.
See “Forward-Looking Information — Safe Harbor Statement” for a discussion of our use of forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CONSOLIDATED
Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Net sales in the second quarter of 2012 were $5,150 million, decreasing $470 million, or 8.4%, from $5,620 million in the second quarter of 2011. Goodyear net income was $92 million in the second quarter of 2012, compared to Goodyear net income of $47 million in the second quarter of 2011. Goodyear net income available to common shareholders was $85 million, or $0.33 per share, in the second quarter of 2012, compared to Goodyear net income available to common shareholders of $40 million, or $0.16 per share, in the second quarter of 2011.
Net sales decreased in the second quarter of 2012, due primarily to a decrease in tire volume of $379 million, unfavorable foreign currency translation of $315 million, and lower sales in other tire-related businesses of $117 million, primarily in North American Tire. This was partially offset by an increase in price and product mix of $347 million. Consumer and commercial net sales in the second quarter of 2012 were $2,709 million and $1,038 million, respectively. Consumer and commercial net sales in the second quarter of 2011 were $2,873 million and $1,159 million, respectively.
Worldwide tire unit sales in the second quarter of 2012 were 39.2 million units, decreasing 3.7 million units, or 8.6%, from 42.9 million units in the second quarter of 2011. A decrease of 4.5 million units, or 14.2%, in replacement tire volume was partially offset by an increase of 0.8 million units, or 6.0%, in original equipment ("OE") tire volume. The decrease in replacement tires was a result of continued soft economic conditions, primarily in EMEA, which slowed retail demand. Consumer and commercial tire unit sales in the second quarter of 2012 were 35.5 million and 3.2 million, respectively. Consumer and commercial tire unit sales in the second quarter of 2011 were 38.6 million and 3.7 million, respectively.
Cost of goods sold (“CGS”) in the second quarter of 2012 was $4,141 million, decreasing $431 million, or 9.4%, from $4,572 million in the second quarter of 2011. CGS decreased due to lower tire volume of $309 million, favorable foreign currency translation of $250 million, and lower costs in other tire-related businesses of $112 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in raw material costs of $171 million and increased conversion costs of $81 million. Conversion costs included higher under-absorbed fixed overhead costs of approximately $18 million due to lower production volume at existing plants, primarily in EMEA, net of cost savings of approximately $20 million from the closure of Union City; incremental start-up expenses for our new manufacturing facility in Pulandian, China of $5 million; and inflationary cost increases. CGS in the second quarter of 2012 included $2 million ($2 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) in charges related to repairs for 2011 tornado damage at our manufacturing facility in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The second quarter of 2012 also included accelerated depreciation of $3 million ($2 million after-tax or $0.01 per share), primarily related to the planned closure of our Dalian, China manufacturing facility in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $25 million ($24 million after-tax or $0.10 per share) in the 2011 period, primarily related to the closure of Union City. CGS was 80.4% of sales in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 81.4% in the second quarter of 2011.
Selling, administrative and general expense (“SAG”) in the second quarter of 2012 was $697 million, decreasing $56 million, or 7.4%, from $753 million in the second quarter of 2011. The decrease in SAG was primarily driven by favorable foreign currency translation of $52 million. SAG included $1 million in savings from rationalization plans. SAG was 13.5% of sales in the second quarter of 2012, compared to 13.4% in the second quarter of 2011.
We recorded net rationalization charges of $26 million in the second quarter of 2012 ($23 million after-tax or $0.08 per share). Rationalization actions initiated in the second quarter of 2012 primarily consisted of SAG headcount reductions in EMEA and retail store closings in Asia Pacific Tire.
We recorded net rationalization charges of $46 million in the second quarter of 2011 ($41 million after-tax or $0.17 per share), primarily related to the closure of Union City.
Interest expense in the second quarter of 2012 was $83 million, increasing $2 million, or 2.5%, from $81 million in the second quarter of 2011. The increase is a result of higher average debt balances of $5,651 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $5,294 in the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by a decrease in average interest rates to 5.88% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to 6.12% in the second quarter of 2011.
Other Expense in the second quarter of 2012 was $37 million, decreasing $11 million from $48 million in the second quarter of 2011. Financing fees were $34 million in the second quarter of 2012 compared to $63 million in the second quarter of 2011. Financing fees in the second quarter of 2012 included $24 million of charges ($24 million after-tax or $0.09 per share) for debt issuance costs, primarily related to the amendment and restatement of our U.S. second lien term loan facility. In the second quarter of 2011, we recorded $53 million ($53 million after-tax or $0.22 per share) in financing fees related to the redemption of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 10.5% senior notes due 2016, of which $37 million related to cash premiums paid on the redemption and $16 million related to the write-off of deferred financing fees and unamortized discount. Net gains on asset sales were $13 million ($10 million after-tax or $0.03 per share) in the second quarter of 2012 compared to net
gains on asset sales of $11 million ($10 million after-tax or $0.04 per share) in the 2011 period. Net gains on asset sales in 2012 included gains on the sale of a minority interest in a retail business in EMEA and the sale of certain assets related to our bias truck tire business in Latin American Tire. Net gains on asset sales in 2011 included gains on the sale of the farm tire business in Latin American Tire and the recognition of a deferred gain from the sale of property in North American Tire. Also included in Other Expense was a charge of $20 million ($20 million after-tax or $0.07 per share) related to labor claims in EMEA.
Tax expense in the second quarter of 2012 was $63 million on income before income taxes of $166 million. Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2012 was unfavorably impacted by $3 million ($2 million after minority interest or $0.01 per share) due to various discrete items. In the second quarter of 2011, we recorded tax expense of $64 million on income before income taxes of $120 million. Income tax expense in the second quarter of 2011 was unfavorably impacted by $10 million ($7 million after minority interest or $0.03 per share) due primarily to increased tax reserves as a result of negative tax court rulings in a foreign jurisdiction.
Minority shareholders’ net income in the second quarter of 2012 was $11 million, compared to $9 million in 2011. The increase was due primarily to increased earnings in our joint venture in North America and certain Asia Pacific Tire subsidiaries, partially offset by lower earnings in our joint venture in Europe.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Net sales in the first six months of 2012 were $10,683 million, decreasing $339 million, or 3.1%, from $11,022 million in the first six months of 2011. Goodyear net income was $88 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to Goodyear net income of $150 million in the first six months of 2011. Goodyear net income available to common shareholders was $73 million, or $0.30 per share, reflecting $15 million of preferred stock dividends, in the first six months of 2012, compared to Goodyear net income available to common shareholders of $143 million, or $0.57 per share, reflecting $7 million of preferred stock dividends, in the first six months of 2011.
Net sales decreased in the first six months of 2012 due to lower tire volume of $727 million, unfavorable foreign currency translation of $423 million, primarily in EMEA, $111 million in other tire-related business' sales, primarily in North American Tire, and the 2011 divestiture of our Latin American farm tire business of $27 million. These decreases were partially offset by improved price and product mix of $951 million. Consumer and commercial net sales in the first six months of 2012 were $5,708 million and $2,128 million, respectively. Consumer and commercial net sales in the first six months of 2011 were $5,774 million and $2,213 million, respectively.
Worldwide tire unit sales in the first six months of 2012 were 82.2 million units, decreasing 7.5 million units, or 8.4%, from 89.7 million units in the first six months of 2011. Replacement tire volume decreased 8.7 million units, or 13.3%, due primarily to weakening industry volumes. OE tire volume increased 1.2 million units, or 4.8%, primarily in North American Tire due to increased consumer vehicle production. Consumer and commercial tire unit sales in the first six months of 2012 were 74.5 million and 6.5 million, respectively. Consumer and commercial tire unit sales in the first six months of 2011 were 81.1 million and 7.3 million, respectively.
CGS in the first six months of 2012 was $8,748 million, decreasing $285 million, or 3.2%, from $9,033 million in the first six months of 2011. CGS decreased due to lower tire volume of $603 million, favorable foreign currency translation of $341 million, lower costs in other tire-related businesses of $122 million, and the divestiture of the farm tire business in Latin American Tire of $24 million. This was partially offset by higher raw material costs of $591 million, increased conversion costs of $157 million, and product mix-related manufacturing cost increases of $113 million. The higher conversion costs were caused primarily by higher under-absorbed fixed overhead costs of approximately $63 million due to lower production volume, primarily in EMEA, and incremental start-up expenses for our new manufacturing facility in Pulandian, China of $12 million, which were partially offset by savings from rationalization plans of approximately $42 million. CGS in the first six months of 2012 included $2 million ($2 million after-tax or $0.01 per share) in charges related to repairs for 2011 tornado damage at our manufacturing facility in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The first six months of 2012 also included accelerated depreciation of $6 million ($4 million after-tax or $0.02 per share), primarily related to the planned closure of our Dalian, China manufacturing facility in the third quarter of 2012, compared to $34 million ($33 million after-tax or $0.13 per share) in the 2011 period, primarily related to the closure of Union City. CGS was 81.9% of sales in the first six months of 2012, compared to 82.0% in the first six months of 2011.
SAG in the first six months of 2012 was $1,359 million, decreasing $62 million, or 4.4%, from $1,421 million in the first six months of 2011. The decrease in SAG was primarily driven by favorable foreign currency translation of $67 million and lower advertising expenses of $8 million, which were partially offset by increased rent of $8 million, warehousing of $7 million, and inflation. SAG included $4 million in savings from rationalization plans. SAG was 12.7% of sales in the first six months of 2012, compared to 12.9% in the first six months of 2011.
We recorded net rationalization charges of $41 million ($35 million after-tax or $0.14 per share) in the first six months of 2012, which included $17 million of charges related to the closure of Union City. Rationalization actions initiated in 2012 primarily consisted of manufacturing and SAG headcount reductions in EMEA and retail store closings in Asia Pacific Tire.
We recorded net rationalization charges of $55 million ($50 million after-tax or $0.19 per share) in the first six months of 2011. Rationalization actions initiated in 2011 primarily consisted of manufacturing and SAG headcount reductions in EMEA and Asia Pacific Tire.
Upon completion of the 2012 plans, we estimate that annual operating costs will be reduced by approximately $20 million ($2 million in CGS and $18 million in SAG). The savings realized in 2012 for the 2012 plans totaled $1 million ($1 million in SAG). In addition, the savings realized in 2012 for the 2011 and prior years' plans totaled $45 million ($42 million in CGS and $3 million in SAG). For further information, refer to the Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 2, Costs Associated with Rationalization Programs.
Interest expense in the first six months of 2012 was $184 million, increasing $29 million, or 18.7%, from $155 million in the first six months of 2011. The increase is a result of higher average debt balances of $5,533 million in the first six months of 2012 compared to $5,154 in the first six months of 2011, and an increase in average interest rates to 6.18% in the first six months of 2012 compared to 6.01% in the first six months of 2011. In addition, we recorded an adjustment of $13 million of expense to correct capitalized interest recorded in prior periods.
Other Expense in the first six months of 2012 was $129 million, increasing $77 million from $52 million in the first six months of 2011. In the first six months of 2012, financing fees included a charge of $24 million ($24 million after-tax or $0.10 per share), primarily related to the amendment and restatement of our U.S. second lien term loan facility in the second quarter. Also included was a first quarter charge of $86 million ($86 million after-tax or $0.35 per share) related to the redemption of $650 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 10.5% senior notes due 2016, of which $59 million related to cash premiums paid on the redemption and $27 million related to the write-off of deferred financing fees and unamortized discount. In the first six months of 2011, we recorded $53 million ($53 million after-tax or $0.20 per share) in financing fees related to the redemption of $350 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 10.5% senior notes due 2016, of which $37 million was a cash premium paid on the redemption and $16 million related to the write-off of deferred financing fees and unamortized discount. Net gains on asset sales were $17 million ($13 million after-tax or $0.05 per share) in the first six months of 2012 compared to $13 million ($11 million after-tax or $0.04 per share) in the 2011 period. Net gains on asset sales in 2012 included second quarter gains on the sale of a minority interest in a retail business in EMEA and the sale of certain assets related to our bias truck tire business in Latin American Tire, and a first quarter gain on the sale of property in North American Tire. Net gains in the first six months of 2011 related primarily to the sale of the farm tire business in Latin American Tire and the recognition of a deferred gain from the sale of property in North American Tire. Also included in Other Expense was a charge of $20 million ($20 million after-tax or $0.08 per share) related to labor claims in EMEA.
Tax expense in the first six months of 2012 was $111 million on income before income taxes of $222 million. Income tax expense was unfavorably impacted by $6 million ($5 million after minority interest or $0.02 per share) due primarily to the settlement of prior tax years. In the first six months of 2011, we recorded tax expense of $126 million on income before income taxes of $306 million. Income tax expense was unfavorably impacted by $18 million ($13 million after minority interest or $0.05 per share) due primarily to the settlement of prior tax years and to increased tax reserves as a result of negative tax court rulings in a foreign jurisdiction.
We record taxes based on overall estimated annual effective tax rates. The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate was primarily attributable to continuing to maintain a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in certain international subsidiaries. Our losses in various taxing jurisdictions in recent periods represented sufficient negative evidence to require us to maintain a full valuation allowance against certain of our net deferred tax assets. In certain foreign locations, it is reasonably possible that sufficient positive evidence required to release all, or a portion of these valuation allowances within the next 12 months will exist, however, we do not expect any such changes to have a significant impact on our results of operations.
For further information, refer to the Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 4, Income Taxes.
Minority shareholders’ net income in the first six months of 2012 was $23 million, compared to net income of $30 million in 2011. The decrease was due primarily to decreased earnings in our joint venture in Europe, partially offset by an improvement in earnings in our joint venture in North America.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
Segment information reflects our strategic business units (“SBUs”), which are organized to meet customer requirements and global competition and are segmented on a regional basis.
Results of operations are measured based on net sales to unaffiliated customers and segment operating income. Each segment exports tires to other segments. The financial results of each segment exclude sales of tires exported to other segments, but include operating income derived from such transactions. Segment operating income is computed as follows: Net Sales less CGS (excluding asset write-off and accelerated depreciation charges) and SAG (including certain allocated corporate administrative expenses). Segment operating income also includes certain royalties and equity in earnings of most affiliates. Segment operating income does not include net rationalization charges (credits), asset sales and certain other items.
Total segment operating income in the second quarter of 2012 was $336 million, decreasing $46 million from $382 million in the second quarter of 2011. Total segment operating margin (segment operating income divided by segment sales) in the second quarter of 2012 was 6.5%, compared to 6.8% in the second quarter of 2011.
Management believes that total segment operating income is useful because it represents the aggregate value of income created by our SBUs and excludes items not directly related to the SBUs for performance evaluation purposes. Total segment operating income is the sum of the individual SBUs’ segment operating income. Refer to the Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 6, Business Segments, for further information and for a reconciliation of total segment operating income to Income before Income Taxes.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
North American Tire unit sales in the second quarter of 2012 decreased 0.3 million units, or 1.4%, to 15.4 million units. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in replacement tire volume of 1.2 million units, or 9.6%, primarily in our consumer business, reflecting lower industry demand and decreased sales of lower end consumer products during the second quarter of 2012. Increased OE tire volume, primarily in our consumer business, of 0.9 million units, or 24.2%, partially offset this decrease.
Net sales in the second quarter of 2012 were $2,451 million, increasing $40 million, or 1.7%, from $2,411 million in the second quarter of 2011 due primarily to improved price and product mix of $146 million. Lower sales in our other tire-related businesses of $81 million, driven by a decrease in the price and volume of third-party sales of chemical products, lower tire volume of $20 million and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $6 million partially offset these improvements.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2012 was $188 million, improving $51 million, or 37.2%, from $137 million in the second quarter of 2011. Operating income improved due primarily to improved price and product mix of $176 million which more than offset higher raw material costs of $114 million. Operating income also benefited from lower conversion costs of $4 million. Conversion costs included net savings from rationalization plans of $27 million, primarily related to the closure of Union City in July 2011, partially offset by higher pension expense and inflationary cost increases. These improvements in operating income were partially offset by decreased profits in our other tire-related businesses of $8 million, driven by a decrease in the price and volume of third-party sales of chemical products, and lower tire volume of $2 million. SAG expense for the second quarter of 2012 was consistent with the prior year.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2012 excluded net rationalization charges of $13 million, primarily related to costs associated with the closure of Union City, and net gains on asset sales of $2 million. Operating income in the second quarter of 2011 excluded net rationalization charges of $34 million and charges for accelerated depreciation of $24 million, primarily related to the closure of Union City, and net gains on asset sales of $5 million.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
North American Tire unit sales in the first six months of 2012 decreased 1.6 million units, or 4.8%, to 31.2 million units. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in replacement tire volume of 3.0 million units, or 12.0%, primarily in our consumer business, reflecting lower industry demand and decreased sales of lower end consumer products during the first half of 2012. Increased OE tire volume, primarily in our consumer business, of 1.4 million, or 17.2%, partially offset this decrease.
Net sales in the first six months of 2012 were $4,948 million, increasing $230 million, or 4.9%, from $4,718 million in the first six months of 2011. The increase was due primarily to improved price and product mix of $444 million. Lower tire volume of $140 million and lower sales in our other tire-related businesses of $66 million, driven by a decrease in the price and volume of third-party sales of chemical products, partially offset these improvements.
Operating income in the first six months of 2012 was $268 million, improving $91 million, or 51.4%, from $177 million in the first six months of 2011. Operating income improved due primarily to improved price and product mix of $422 million which more than offset increased raw material costs of $298 million. Additionally, SAG expenses decreased $7 million, primarily due to lower warehousing costs. These improvements were partially offset by increased conversion costs of $20 million and decreased tire volume of $15 million. Higher conversion costs were driven primarily by inflation and increased pension expense. Conversion costs and SAG expenses included net savings from rationalization plans of $33 million and $2 million, respectively, primarily related to the closure of Union City.
Operating income in the first six months of 2012 excluded net rationalization charges of $19 million, primarily related to the closure of Union City, and net gains on asset sales of $4 million. Operating income in the first six months of 2011 excluded net rationalization charges of $40 million and charges for accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs of $32 million, primarily related to the closure of Union City, and net gains on asset sales of $5 million.

Europe, Middle East and Africa Tire unit sales in the second quarter of 2012 decreased 2.8 million units, or 16.7%, to 14.2 million units. Replacement tire volume decreased 2.6 million units, or 20.1%, primarily in consumer replacement due to economic weakness and uncertainty in the region, which slowed retail demand, and to high trade inventory levels following weak dealer seasonal tire sales. OE tire volume decreased 0.2 million units, or 6.8%, mainly in consumer OE.
Net sales in the second quarter of 2012 were $1,596 million, decreasing $347 million, or 17.9%, from $1,943 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net sales decreased due primarily to lower tire volume of $295 million and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $194 million. These decreases were partially offset by improved price and product mix of $139 million.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2012 was $19 million, decreasing $107 million, or 84.9%, from $126 million in the second quarter of 2011. Operating income decreased due primarily to lower tire volume of $56 million, higher conversion costs of $54 million, and an increase in SAG expenses of $6 million. These decreases were partially offset by improved price and product mix of $60 million which more than offset increased raw material costs of $48 million. Conversion costs were negatively impacted by higher under-absorbed fixed overhead costs of $40 million on lower production volume. SAG expenses increased primarily due to higher warehousing costs, and included savings from rationalizations plans of $1 million.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2012 excluded a charge of $20 million related to labor claims with respect to a previously closed facility, net gains on asset sales of $7 million and net rationalization charges of $5 million. Operating income in the second quarter of 2011 excluded net rationalization charges of $6 million and net gains on asset sales of $1 million.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Europe, Middle East and Africa Tire unit sales in the first six months of 2012 decreased 4.5 million units, or 12.4%, to 32.2 million units. Replacement tire volume decreased 4.3 million units, or 15.3%, primarily in consumer replacement due to economic weakness and uncertainty in the region, which slowed retail demand, and to high trade inventory levels following weak dealer seasonal tire sales. OE tire volume decreased 0.2 million units, or 3.1%, mainly in consumer OE.
Net sales in the first six months of 2012 were $3,534 million, decreasing $368 million, or 9.4%, from $3,902 million in the first six months of 2011. Net sales decreased due primarily to lower tire volume of $447 million and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $288 million. These decreases were partially offset by improved price and product mix of $366 million.
Operating income in the first six months of 2012 was $109 million, decreasing $170 million from $279 million in the first six months of 2011. Operating income decreased due primarily to higher conversion costs of $91 million, lower tire volume of $84 million and an increase in SAG expenses of $32 million. These decreases were partially offset by improved price and product mix of $269 million which more than offset increased raw material costs of $225 million. Conversion costs were negatively impacted by higher under-absorbed fixed overhead of $60 million on lower volume. The increase in SAG expenses is due primarily to an increase in warehousing expenses of $10 million, higher wages and benefits of $7 million, increased advertising expenses of $7 million and other inflationary pressures. Conversion costs and SAG expenses included savings from rationalization plans of $1 million and $2 million, respectively.
Operating income in the first six months of 2012 excluded a charge of $20 million related to labor claims with respect to a previously closed facility, net rationalization charges of $10 million and net gains on asset sales of $8 million. Operating income in the first six months of 2011 excluded net rationalization charges of $7 million and net gains on asset sales of $2 million.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Latin American Tire unit sales in the second quarter of 2012 decreased 0.7 million units, or 14.1%, to 4.3 million units. Replacement tire volume decreased 0.4 million units, or 13.9%. OE tire volume decreased 0.3 million units, or 14.3%. The decrease in unit volume was primarily due to weaker industry volumes and increased competition.
Net sales in the second quarter of 2012 were $503 million, decreasing $137 million, or 21.4%, from $640 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net sales decreased due primarily to lower tire volume of $77 million, unfavorable foreign currency translation of $77 million and $32 million due to other tire-related business. These decreases were partially offset by improved price and product mix of $53 million.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2012 was $58 million, increasing $4 million, or 7.4%, from $54 million in the second quarter of 2011. Operating income increased due primarily to improved price and product mix of $56 million which more than offset higher raw material costs of $12 million, and higher profits on intersegment sales of $10 million. These increases were partially offset by higher conversion costs of $21 million, lower tire volume of $17 million, higher SAG expenses of $8 million, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3 million. Conversion costs increased primarily due to inflationary cost increases. The increase in SAG expenses is due primarily to increased wages of $5 million and warehousing expense of $5 million.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 excluded gains on asset sales of $3 million.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Latin American Tire unit sales in the first six months of 2012 decreased 1.3 million units, or 12.9%, to 8.6 million units. Replacement tire volume decreased 0.8 million units, or 13.0%, primarily in the lower end of the consumer tire market due to competition, and OE tire volume decreased 0.5 million units, or 12.7%, driven by lower industry volumes in consumer and commercial. Approximately 0.1 million of the total unit decline was attributable to the divestiture of our farm tire business.
Net sales in the first six months of 2012 were $1,024 million, decreasing $201 million, or 16.4%, from $1,225 million in the first six months of 2011. Net sales decreased due primarily to lower volume of $132 million, unfavorable foreign currency translation of $97 million, mainly in Brazil, lower sales by other tire-related businesses of $34 million, and the divestiture of the farm tire business of $27 million. These decreases were partially offset by improved price and product mix of $90 million.
Operating income in the first six months of 2012 was $113 million, decreasing $8 million, or 6.6%, from $121 million in the first six months of 2011. Operating income decreased due primarily to lower tire volume of $29 million, higher conversion costs of $24 million, higher SAG expenses of $9 million, decreased profits in other tire-related businesses of $6 million, the divestiture of the farm tire business of $3 million, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $3 million. These decreases were partially offset by improved price and product mix of $97 million which more than offset increased raw material costs of $49 million and higher profits on intersegment sales of $18 million. The higher conversion costs were primarily driven by wage inflation. The increase in SAG expenses is due primarily to increased wages of $9 million and warehousing expense of $5 million.
Operating income in the first six months of 2012 excluded net gains on asset sales of $3 million and net rationalization charges of $2 million. Operating income in the first six months of 2011 excluded net gains on asset sales of $4 million.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Asia Pacific Tire unit sales in the second quarter of 2012 increased 0.1 million units, or 2.0%, to 5.3 million units. Replacement tire volume decreased 0.3 million units, or 7.9%, while OE tire volume increased 0.4 million units, or 18.7%. The decrease in replacement volume primarily resulted from a weak retail environment in Australia and slowing economic conditions, primarily in India. Higher OE volume was primarily driven by growth in consumer tire volume in China and India.
Net sales in the second quarter of 2012 were $600 million, decreasing $26 million, or 4.2%, from $626 million in the second quarter of 2011. Net sales decreased due primarily to lower foreign currency translation of $38 million primarily from the depreciation of the Indian rupee and Australian dollar, and lower non-tire retail operation sales of $7 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher volume of $10 million and increased price and product mix of $9 million.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2012 was $71 million, increasing $6 million, or 9.2%, from $65 million in the second quarter of 2011. The increase in operating income in the second quarter of 2012 was driven by improved price and product mix of $21 million, lower raw material costs of $3 million and higher volume of $5 million. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation of $6 million, incremental start-up expenses for our new manufacturing facility in Pulandian, China of $5 million, higher conversion costs of $5 million, and $2 million of costs, net of insurance recoveries, incurred related to the Thailand flood.
Restoration of our facility in Thailand, which was closed following severe flooding in the fourth quarter of 2011, continued in the second quarter and we completed the ramp-up to full production. In addition to the $2 million net loss in Asia Pacific Tire's operating income, we also recognized an offsetting net benefit in the remainder of the Company from insurance recoveries. Insurance recoveries of $7 million offset losses of $7 million recognized in the second quarter of 2012. We do not expect the impact on our results of operations to be material due to available insurance coverage.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2012 excluded net rationalization charges of $8 million and charges for accelerated depreciation of $4 million. Operating income in the second quarter of 2011 excluded net rationalization charges of $6 million and charges for accelerated depreciation of $1 million.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
Asia Pacific Tire unit sales in the first six months of 2012 decreased 0.1 million units, or 1.0%, to 10.2 million units. Replacement tire volume decreased 0.6 million units, or 9.5%, primarily in our consumer business, while OE tire volume increased 0.5 million units, or 12.5%, also primarily in our consumer business. Decreases in replacement sales were primarily a result of the continuing effect of flooding that occurred in Thailand in the fourth quarter of 2011, a weak retail environment in Australia and slowing economic conditions, primarily in India. Higher OE volume was primarily driven by growth in consumer tire volume in China and India.
Net sales in the first six months of 2012 and 2011 were $1,177 million. Net sales increased due to improved price and product mix of $51 million, which was offset by unfavorable currency translation of $31 million primarily from the depreciation of the Indian rupee, lower non-tire retail operation sales of $12 million and lower volume of $8 million.
Operating income in the first six months of 2012 was $138 million, increasing $6 million, or 4.5%, from $132 million in the first six months of 2011. Operating income increased due primarily to improved price and product mix of $50 million, which more than offset increased raw material costs of $19 million, higher equity income from a Japanese joint venture of $8 million, and increased volume of $4 million. These increases were partially offset by incremental start-up expenses for our new manufacturing facility in Pulandian, China of $12 million, higher conversion costs of $10 million, higher SAG expenses of $6 million, primarily to support sales growth in China, and unfavorable foreign currency translation of $5 million.
In the first six months of 2012, insurance recoveries related to the flood in Thailand offset costs incurred in Asia Pacific Tire's operating income. We also recognized a net benefit of $6 million, primarily in Corporate costs, which resulted in an overall $6 million ($5 million after-tax or $0.02 per share) benefit. The combined $6 million benefit resulted from insurance recoveries of $36 million offsetting losses of $30 million recognized in the first six months of 2012.
In 2012, start-up expenses at our new manufacturing facility in Pulandian, China and under-absorbed overhead costs at our Dalian, China manufacturing facility that is expected to be closed in the third quarter of 2012 are anticipated to adversely impact Asia Pacific Tire's operating income by $30 million to $40 million compared to 2011.
Operating income in the first six months of 2012 excluded net rationalization charges of $10 million and charges for accelerated depreciation of $6 million. Operating income in the first six months of 2011 excluded net rationalization charges of $8 million and charges for accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs of $2 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated from our operating and financing activities. Our cash flows from operating activities are driven primarily by our operating results and changes in our working capital requirements and our cash flows from financing activities are dependent upon our ability to access credit or other capital.
We experienced a difficult economic environment and challenging industry conditions, particularly in Europe, in the second quarter of 2012. Volatile economic conditions and high inflation and interest rates in emerging markets also continued to contribute to challenging industry conditions. In spite of these challenges, at June 30, 2012, we had solid liquidity, with approximately $4.7 billion of cash and cash equivalents and unused availability under our credit facilities.
In 2012, we have taken significant steps to improve our capital structure through the following actions:
| |
• | Issued $700 million of 7% senior notes due 2022, and used the proceeds of that note issuance to redeem all of our outstanding $650 million 10.5% senior notes due 2016; |
| |
• | Amended and restated our existing U.S. first lien revolving credit facility by extending the maturity from 2013 to 2017 and increasing the available commitments from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion; and |
| |
• | Amended and restated our existing U.S. second lien term loan facility by extending the maturity from 2014 to 2019. |
At June 30, 2012, we had $2,156 million in Cash and cash equivalents, compared to $2,772 million at December 31, 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used by operating activities was $451 million driven primarily by higher seasonal working capital needs of $768 million. Consistent with prior years, our working capital increased in the first half of 2012 due primarily to an increase in accounts receivable, mainly in EMEA. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash used by investing activities was $512 million and net cash provided by financing activities was $343 million. Capital expenditures of $490 million drove the use of cash for investing activities. Cash and cash equivalents were favorably affected by net borrowings of $448 million.
At June 30, 2012, we had $2,496 million of unused availability under our various credit agreements, compared to $2,544 million at December 31, 2011. The table below provides unused availability under our credit facilities at those dates:

At June 30, 2012, our unused availability included $106 million which can only be used to finance the relocation and expansion of our manufacturing facility in China. These credit facilities, along with government grants, should provide funding for most of the cost related to the relocation and expansion of this manufacturing facility. There were $469 million of borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities at June 30, 2012.
We have deposited our cash and cash equivalents and entered into various credit agreements and derivative contracts with financial institutions that we considered to be substantial and creditworthy at the time of such transactions. We seek to control our exposure to these financial institutions by diversifying our deposits, credit agreements and derivative contracts across multiple financial institutions, by setting deposit and counterparty credit limits based on long term credit ratings and other indicators of credit risk such as credit default swap spreads, and by monitoring the financial strength of these financial institutions on a regular basis. We also enter into master netting agreements with counterparties when possible. By controlling and monitoring exposure to financial institutions in this manner, we believe that we effectively manage the risk of loss due to nonperformance by a financial institution. However, we cannot provide assurance that we will not experience losses or delays in accessing our deposits or lines of credit due to the nonperformance of a financial institution. Our inability to access our cash deposits or make draws on our lines of credit, or the inability of a counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations to us, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial position or results of operations in the period in which it occurs.
In 2012, we expect our operating needs to include global contributions to our funded pension plans of approximately $550 million to $600 million and our investing needs to include capital expenditures of approximately $1.1 billion to $1.2 billion. We also expect interest expense to range between $350 million and $370 million and, when and if future dividends are declared, dividends on our mandatory convertible preferred stock to be $28 million. We intend to operate the business in a way that allows us to address these needs with our existing cash and available credit if they cannot be funded by cash generated from operations.
The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (the "MAP-21 Act") was signed into law on July 6, 2012 and contains provisions that stabilize the interest rates used to calculate required pension contributions in the United States. Current historically low interest rates have resulted in significant increases to required pension contributions. The funding stabilization provisions of the MAP-21 Act are expected to reduce our total U.S. minimum required pension contributions by approximately $375 million to $425 million in the aggregate over the next five years, with the greatest benefit coming in 2013 and 2014. The impact on our 2012 pension expense will not be significant, and we continue to expect to record pension expense of $275 million to $325 million for the year. In addition, the Preservation of Access to Care for Medicare Beneficiaries and Pension Relief Act of 2010 (the “Pension Relief Act”) also provided funding relief for U.S. defined benefit pension plan sponsors by deferring near-term contributions. As allowed by the Pension Relief Act, we elected funding relief for the 2009 and 2011 plan years. Minimum contribution requirements starting with the 2012 plan year will be determined under the provisions of the MAP-21 Act. We currently estimate that we will be required to make contributions to our funded U.S. pension plans of approximately $425 million to $450 million in 2012 and $225 million to $275 million in 2013.
In addition, Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. (“SRI”) has minority exit rights upon the occurrence of certain events enumerated in the global alliance agreements, including certain bankruptcy events, changes in our control or breaches (subject to notice and the opportunity to cure) of the global alliance agreements. SRI’s exit rights, if triggered and exercised, could require us to make a substantial payment to acquire SRI’s interests in Goodyear Dunlop Tires Europe B.V. (“GDTE”) and Goodyear Dunlop Tires North America, Ltd. (“GDTNA”) following the determination of the fair value of SRI’s interests. For further information regarding our global alliance with SRI, including the events that could trigger SRI’s exit rights, see “Item 1. Business. Description of Goodyear’s Business — Global Alliance” in our 2011 Form 10-K. As of the date of this filing, SRI has not provided us notice of any exit rights that have become exercisable.
Our ability to service debt and operational requirements is also dependent, in part, on the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions of cash to various other entities in our consolidated group, whether in the form of dividends, loans or otherwise. In certain countries where we operate, such as China, Venezuela, and South Africa, transfers of funds into or out of such countries by way of dividends, loans, advances or payments to third-party or affiliated suppliers are generally or periodically subject to certain requirements, such as obtaining approval from the foreign government and/or currency exchange board before net assets can be transferred out of the country. In addition, certain of our credit agreements and other debt instruments limit the ability of foreign subsidiaries to make distributions of cash. Thus, we would have to repay and/or amend these credit agreements and other debt instruments in order to use this cash to service our consolidated debt. Because of the inherent uncertainty of satisfactorily meeting these requirements or limitations, we do not consider the net assets of our subsidiaries, including our Chinese, Venezuelan and South African subsidiaries, that are subject to such requirements or limitations to be integral to our liquidity or our ability to service our debt and operational requirements. At June 30, 2012, approximately $659 million of net assets, including $519 million of cash and cash equivalents, were subject to such requirements, including $315 million of cash in Venezuela. The requirements we must comply with to transfer funds out of China and South Africa have not adversely impacted our ability to make transfers out of those countries.
Since Venezuela’s economy is considered to be highly inflationary under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency of our Venezuelan subsidiary. All gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of its financial statements are determined using official exchange rates and are reported in Other Expense.
In 2012, we have used the official exchange rate of 4.3 bolivares fuertes to the U.S. dollar to settle substantially all foreign currency transactions in Venezuela. However, if circumstances warrant, we may seek to repatriate cash from Venezuela using other means. If in the future we convert bolivares fuertes at a rate other than the official exchange rate or the official exchange rate is revised, we may realize additional losses that would be recorded in the Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2012, we had bolivar fuerte denominated monetary assets of $365 million which consisted primarily of $315 million of cash, $22 million of deferred tax assets and $25 million of accounts receivable, and bolivar fuerte denominated monetary liabilities of $169 million which consisted primarily of $101 million of intercompany payables, including $59 million of dividends, $24 million of accounts payable - trade, $28 million of compensation and benefits and $7 million of income taxes payable. At December 31, 2011, we had bolivar fuerte denominated monetary assets of $317 million which consisted primarily of $291 million of cash, $18 million of deferred tax assets and $8 million of accounts receivable, and bolivar fuerte denominated monetary liabilities of $152 million which consisted primarily of $92 million of intercompany payables, including $59 million of dividends, $24 million of accounts payable - trade, $15 million of compensation and benefits and $14 million of income taxes payable. All monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured at 4.3 bolivares fuertes to the U.S. dollar at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Goodyear Venezuela’s sales were 1.6% and 1.3% of our net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and were 1.6% and 1.4% of our net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Goodyear Venezuela’s cost of goods sold were 1.4% and 1.1% of our cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and were 1.3% and 1.1% of our cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Goodyear Venezuela’s sales are bolivar fuerte denominated and cost of goods sold are approximately 56% bolivar fuerte denominated and approximately 44% U.S. dollar denominated. A further 10% decrease in the bolivar fuerte against the U.S. dollar would decrease Goodyear Venezuela’s sales and increase cost of goods sold by approximately $39 million and approximately $14 million, respectively, on an annual basis.
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, Goodyear Venezuela settled $25 million and $6 million of U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany payables and accounts payable - trade, respectively, through the Venezuelan currency exchange board. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, substantially all of those payables were settled at the official exchange rate of 4.3 bolivares fuertes to the U.S. dollar. At June 30, 2012, settlements of U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities pending before the currency exchange board were $205 million, all of which are expected to settle at the official exchange rate of 4.3 bolivares fuertes to the U.S. dollar. At June 30, 2012, $63 million of the requested settlements were pending up to 180 days, $71 million were pending from 180 to 360 days and $71 million were pending over one year. Amounts pending up to 180 days include imported tires and raw materials of $63 million, amounts pending from 180 to 360 days include raw materials and tires of $43 million and dividends payable of $28 million, and amounts pending over one year include dividends payable of $31 million, intercompany charges for royalties of $17 million, and imported tires of $10 million. Currency exchange controls in Venezuela continue to limit our ability to remit funds from Venezuela.
We believe that our liquidity position is adequate to fund our operating and investing needs and debt maturities in 2012 and to provide us with flexibility to respond to further changes in the business environment. If market opportunities exist, we may choose to undertake additional financing actions in order to further enhance our liquidity position, which could include obtaining new bank debt or capital markets transactions. However, the challenges we face may cause a material reduction in our liquidity as a result of an adverse change in our cash flow from operations or our access to credit or other capital. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2011 Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion of these challenges.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $451 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to net cash used of $669 million in the first six months of 2011. The decrease in net cash used in operating activities was due primarily to a lower use of cash for working capital in the first six months of 2012. Decreased sales and production levels, primarily in EMEA and North American Tire, and lower raw material prices in 2012 have reduced the cash used for working capital from $1,256 million for the first six months of 2011 to $768 million in 2012. Operating cash flows in the first six months of 2012 were unfavorably impacted by increased pension contributions of $121 million and the decrease in earnings compared to the first six months of 2011.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $512 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to $483 million in the first six months of 2011. Capital expenditures were $490 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to $532 million in the first six months of 2011. Beyond expenditures required to sustain our facilities, capital expenditures in 2012 and 2011 primarily related to the continued expansion of manufacturing capacity in China and Chile.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $343 million in the first six months of 2012, compared to $927 million in the first six months of 2011. Financing activities in 2012 included net borrowings of $448 million to fund working capital needs and capital expenditures. Net borrowings included the net proceeds from the issuance of $700 million in aggregate principal amount of 7% senior notes due 2022 and borrowings under other credit facilities, partially offset by the redemption of $650 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 10.5% senior notes due 2016. Financing activities in 2011 included $485 million in net proceeds from the issuance of our mandatory convertible preferred stock and net borrowings of $468 million under our credit facilities.
Credit Sources
In aggregate, we had total credit arrangements of $8,549 million available at June 30, 2012, of which $2,496 million were unused, compared to $8,129 million available at December 31, 2011, of which $2,544 million were unused. At June 30, 2012, we had long term credit arrangements totaling $7,964 million, of which $2,079 million were unused, compared to $7,531 million and $2,202 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011. At June 30, 2012, we had short term committed and uncommitted credit arrangements totaling $585 million, of which $417 million were unused, compared to $598 million and $342 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011. The continued availability of the short term uncommitted arrangements is at the discretion of the relevant lender and may be terminated at any time.
See Note 7, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments for a discussion of the issuance of our $700 million 7% senior notes due 2022, the redemption of our $650 million 10.5% senior notes due 2016, and the amendments to our first lien revolving credit facility and our second lien term loan facility.
Outstanding Notes
At June 30, 2012, we had $2,425 million of outstanding notes, compared to $2,362 million at December 31, 2011.
For additional information on our outstanding notes, refer to the Note to Consolidated Financial Statements, No. 15, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in our 2011 Form 10-K and Note 7, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in this Form 10-Q.
$2.0 Billion Amended and Restated First Lien Revolving Credit Facility due 2017
On April 19, 2012, we amended and restated our U.S. first lien revolving credit facility. Significant changes to that facility include the extension of the maturity to April 30, 2017 and an increase of the available commitments from $1.5 billion to $2.0 billion. Our amended and restated $2.0 billion first lien revolving credit facility is available in the form of loans or letters of credit, with letter of credit availability limited to $800 million. Subject to the consent of the lenders whose commitments are to be increased, we may request that the facility be increased by up to $250 million. Our obligations under the facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries. Our obligations under this facility and our subsidiaries’ obligations under the related guarantees are secured by first priority security interests in a variety of collateral. Availability under the facility is subject to a borrowing base, which is based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory of The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and certain of its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries, after adjusting for customary factors that are subject to modification from time to time by the administrative agent or the majority lenders at their discretion (not to be exercised unreasonably). Modifications are based on the results of periodic collateral and borrowing base evaluations and appraisals. To the extent that our eligible accounts receivable and inventory decline, our borrowing base will decrease and the availability under the facility may decrease below $2.0 billion. In addition, if the amount of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit under the facility exceeds the borrowing base, we are required to prepay borrowings and/or cash collateralize letters of credit sufficient to eliminate the excess. As of June 30, 2012, our borrowing base, and therefore our availability, under the amended and restated facility was $135 million below the facility's stated amount of $2.0 billion.
At June 30, 2012, we had no borrowings outstanding and $408 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2011, we had no borrowings outstanding and $407 million of letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility.
$1.2 Billion Amended and Restated Second Lien Term Loan Facility due 2019
On April 19, 2012, we also amended and restated our U.S. second lien term loan facility, including the extension of the maturity to April 30, 2019. Our obligations under this facility are guaranteed by most of our wholly-owned U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries and are secured by second priority security interests in the same collateral securing the $2.0 billion first lien revolving credit facility. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, this facility was fully drawn.
€400 Million Amended and Restated Senior Secured European Revolving Credit Facility due 2016
Our amended and restated €400 million revolving credit facility consists of a €100 million German tranche that is available only to Goodyear Dunlop Tires Germany GmbH (the “German borrower”) and a €300 million all-borrower tranche that is available to GDTE, the German borrower and certain of GDTE’s other subsidiaries. Up to €50 million in letters of credit are available for issuance under the all-borrower tranche. GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Luxembourg, France and Germany provide guarantees to support the facility. GDTE’s obligations under the facility and the obligations of its subsidiaries under the related guarantees are secured by security interests in a variety of collateral. Goodyear and its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries that guarantee our U.S. senior secured credit facilities described above also provide unsecured guarantees to support the facility.
At June 30, 2012, there were $127 million (€100 million) of borrowings outstanding under the German tranche and $165 million (€130 million) outstanding under the all-borrower tranche. At December 31, 2011, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Letters of credit issued under the all-borrower tranche totaled $8 million (€6 million) at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
Each of our first lien revolving credit facility and our European revolving credit facility have customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct, in all material respects, on the date of the borrowing, including representations as to no material adverse change in our financial condition since December 31, 2011 under the amended and restated first lien facility and December 31, 2010 under the European facility. Each of the facilities described above have customary defaults, including cross-defaults to material indebtedness of Goodyear and our subsidiaries. For a description of the collateral securing the above facilities as well as the covenants applicable to them, please refer to “Covenant Compliance” below, the Note to the Consolidated Financial Statements No. 15, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in our 2011 Form 10-K and Note 7, Financing Arrangements and Derivative Financial Instruments, in this Form 10-Q.
International Accounts Receivable Securitization Facilities (On-Balance Sheet)
GDTE and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to a pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility that provides up to €450 million of funding and expires in 2015. Utilization under this facility is based on current available receivable balances. The facility is subject to customary annual renewal of back-up liquidity commitments.
The facility involves an ongoing daily sale of substantially all of the trade accounts receivable of certain GDTE subsidiaries to a bankruptcy-remote French company controlled by one of the liquidity banks in the facility. These subsidiaries retain servicing responsibilities. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the amount available, and fully utilized under this program, totaled $395 million (€312 million) and $393 million (€303 million), respectively. The program did not qualify for sale accounting, and accordingly, these amounts are included in Long term debt and capital leases.
In addition to the pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility discussed above, subsidiaries in Australia have an accounts receivable securitization program totaling $79 million and $75 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The receivables sold under this program also serve as collateral for the related facility. We retain the risk of loss related to these receivables in the event of non-payment. These amounts are included in Long term debt and capital leases at June 30, 2012 as this facility was renegotiated in the second quarter of 2012. These amounts are included in Notes payable and overdrafts at December 31, 2011.
Accounts Receivable Factoring Facilities (Off-Balance Sheet)
Various subsidiaries sell certain of their trade receivables under off-balance sheet programs. For these programs, we have concluded that there is no risk of loss to us from non-payment of the sold receivables. At June 30, 2012, the gross amount of receivables sold was $239 million, compared to $190 million at December 31, 2011.
Other Foreign Credit Facilities
Our Chinese subsidiary has two financing agreements in China. At June 30, 2012, these non-revolving credit facilities had total unused availability of 667 million renminbi ($106 million) and can only be used to finance the relocation and expansion of our manufacturing facility in China. The facilities contain covenants relating to our Chinese subsidiary and have customary representations and warranties and defaults relating to our Chinese subsidiary’s ability to perform its obligations under the facilities. One of the facilities (with 642 million renminbi of unused availability at June 30, 2012) matures in 2018 and principal amortization begins in 2015. There were $265 million and $199 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. The other facility (with 25 million renminbi of unused availability at June 30, 2012) matures in 2019 and principal amortization begins in 2015. There were $204 million and $190 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Restricted cash of $27 million and $9 million was related to funds obtained under these credit facilities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Covenant Compliance
Our amended and restated first lien revolving and second lien credit facilities and some of the indentures governing our notes contain certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt or issue redeemable preferred stock, make certain restricted payments or investments, incur liens, sell assets, incur restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends to us, enter into affiliate transactions, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, and consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. These covenants are subject to significant exceptions and qualifications.
We have additional financial covenants in our first lien revolving and second lien credit facilities that are currently not applicable. We only become subject to these financial covenants when certain events occur. These financial covenants and related events are as follows:
| |
• | We become subject to the financial covenant contained in our first lien revolving credit facility when the aggregate amount of our Parent Company (The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company) and guarantor subsidiaries cash and cash equivalents (“Available Cash”) plus our availability under our first lien revolving credit facility is less than $200 million. If this were to occur, our ratio of EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense may not be less than 2.0 to 1.0 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. As of June 30, 2012, our availability under this facility of $1,457 million, plus our Available Cash of $970 million, totaled $2.4 billion, which is in excess of $200 million. |
| |
• | We become subject to a covenant contained in our second lien credit facility upon certain asset sales. The covenant provides that, before we use cash proceeds from certain asset sales to repay any junior lien, senior unsecured or subordinated indebtedness, we must first offer to use such cash proceeds to prepay borrowings under the second lien credit facility unless our ratio of Consolidated Net Secured Indebtedness to EBITDA (Pro Forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio) for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is equal to or less than 3.0 to 1.0. |
In addition, our amended and restated European revolving credit facility contains non-financial covenants similar to the non-financial covenants in our first and second lien credit facilities that are described above and a financial covenant applicable only to GDTE and its subsidiaries. This financial covenant provides that we are not permitted to allow GDTE’s ratio of Consolidated Net J.V. Indebtedness to Consolidated European J.V. EBITDA for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to be greater than 3.0 to 1.0 at the end of any fiscal quarter. Consolidated Net J.V. Indebtedness is determined net of the sum of cash and cash equivalents in excess of $100 million held by GDTE and its subsidiaries, cash and cash equivalents in excess of $150 million held by the Parent Company and its U.S. subsidiaries and availability under our first lien revolving credit facility if the ratio of EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense described above is not applicable and the conditions to borrowing under the first lien revolving credit facility are met. Consolidated Net J.V. Indebtedness also excludes loans from other consolidated Goodyear entities. This financial covenant is also included in our pan-European accounts receivable securitization facility. At June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with this financial covenant.
Our amended and restated credit facilities also state that we may only incur additional debt or make restricted payments that are not otherwise expressly permitted if, after giving effect to the debt incurrence or the restricted payment, our ratio of EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense for the prior four fiscal quarters would exceed 2.0 to 1.0. Certain of our senior note indentures have substantially similar limitations on incurring debt and making restricted payments. Our credit facilities and indentures also permit the incurrence of additional debt through other provisions in those agreements without regard to our ability to satisfy the ratio-based incurrence test described above. We believe that these other provisions provide us with sufficient flexibility to incur additional debt necessary to meet our operating, investing and financing needs without regard to our ability to satisfy the ratio-based incurrence test.
There are no known future changes to, or new covenants in, any of our existing debt obligations at June 30, 2012 other than as described above. Covenants could change based upon a refinancing or amendment of an existing facility, or additional covenants may be added in connection with the incurrence of new debt.
At June 30, 2012, we were in compliance with the currently applicable material covenants imposed by our principal credit facilities and indentures.
The terms “Available Cash,” “EBITDA,” “Consolidated Interest Expense,” “Consolidated Net Secured Indebtedness,” “Pro Forma Senior Secured Leverage Ratio,” “Consolidated Net J.V. Indebtedness” and “Consolidated European J.V. EBITDA” have the meanings given them in the respective credit facilities.
Potential Future Financings
In addition to our previous financing activities, we may seek to undertake additional financing actions which could include restructuring bank debt or capital markets transactions, possibly including the issuance of additional debt or equity. Given the challenges that we face and the uncertainties of the market conditions, access to the capital markets cannot be assured.
Our future liquidity requirements may make it necessary for us to incur additional debt. However, a substantial portion of our assets are already subject to liens securing our indebtedness. As a result, we are limited in our ability to pledge our remaining assets as security for additional secured indebtedness. In addition, no assurance can be given as to our ability to raise additional unsecured debt.
Asset Dispositions
The restrictions on asset sales imposed by our material indebtedness have not affected our strategy of divesting non-core businesses, and those divestitures have not affected our ability to comply with those restrictions.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION — SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
Certain information in this Form 10-Q (other than historical data and information) may constitute forward-looking statements regarding events and trends that may affect our future operating results and financial position. The words “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and “project,” as well as other words or expressions of similar meaning, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. Such statements are based on current expectations and assumptions, are inherently uncertain, are subject to risks and should be viewed with caution. Actual results and experience may differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including:
| |
• | if we do not achieve projected savings from various cost reduction initiatives or successfully implement other strategic initiatives our operating results, financial condition and liquidity may be materially adversely affected; |
| |
• | higher raw material and energy costs may materially adversely affect our operating results and financial condition; |
| |
• | our pension plans are significantly underfunded and further increases in the underfunded status of the plans could significantly increase the amount of our required contributions and pension expense; |
| |
• | we face significant global competition, increasingly from lower cost manufacturers, and our market share could decline; |
| |
• | deteriorating economic conditions in any of our major markets, or an inability to access capital markets or third-party financing when necessary, may materially adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and liquidity; |
| |
• | work stoppages, financial difficulties or supply disruptions at our major OE customers, dealers or suppliers could harm our business; |
| |
• | our capital expenditures may not be adequate to maintain our competitive position and may not be implemented in a timely or cost-effective manner; |
| |
• | if we experience a labor strike, work stoppage or other similar event our financial position, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected; |
| |
• | our long term ability to meet current obligations and to repay maturing indebtedness is dependent on our ability to access capital markets in the future and to improve our operating results; |
| |
• | we have a substantial amount of debt, which could restrict our growth, place us at a competitive disadvantage or otherwise materially adversely affect our financial health; |
| |
• | any failure to be in compliance with any material provision or covenant of our secured credit facilities could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and our results of operations; |
| |
• | our international operations have certain risks that may materially adversely affect our operating results; |
| |
• | we have foreign currency translation and transaction risks that may materially adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and liquidity; |
| |
• | our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly; |
| |
• | we have substantial fixed costs and, as a result, our operating income fluctuates disproportionately with changes in our net sales; |
| |
• | we may incur significant costs in connection with product liability and other tort claims; |
| |
• | our reserves for product liability and other tort claims and our recorded insurance assets are subject to various uncertainties, the outcome of which may result in our actual costs being significantly higher than the amounts recorded; |
| |
• | we may be required to provide letters of credit or post cash collateral if we are subject to a significant adverse judgment or if we are unable to obtain surety bonds, which may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity; |
| |
• | we are subject to extensive government regulations that may materially adversely affect our operating results; |
| |
• | the terms and conditions of our global alliance with SRI provide for certain exit rights available to SRI upon the occurrence of certain events, which could require us to make a substantial payment to acquire SRI’s minority interests in GDTE and GDTNA following the determination of the fair value of those interests; |
| |
• | we may be adversely affected by any disruption in, or failure of, our information technology systems; |
| |
• | if we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business could be materially adversely affected; and |
| |
• | we may be impacted by economic and supply disruptions associated with events beyond our control, such as war, acts of terror, political unrest, public health concerns, labor disputes or natural disasters. |
It is not possible to foresee or identify all such factors. We will not revise or update any forward-looking statement or disclose any facts, events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof that may affect the accuracy of any forward-looking statement.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We utilize derivative financial instrument contracts and nonderivative instruments to manage interest rate, foreign exchange and commodity price risks. We have established a control environment that includes policies and procedures for risk assessment and the approval, reporting and monitoring of derivative financial instrument activities. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Commodity Price Risk
The raw material costs to which our operations are principally exposed include the cost of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black, fabrics, steel cord and other petrochemical-based commodities. Approximately two-thirds of our raw materials are oil-based derivatives, whose cost may be affected by fluctuations in the price of oil. We currently do not hedge commodity prices. We do, however, use various strategies to partially offset cost increases for raw materials, including centralizing purchases of raw materials through our global procurement organization in an effort to leverage our purchasing power, expanding our capabilities to substitute lower cost raw materials and reducing the amount of material required in each tire.
Interest Rate Risk
We continuously monitor our fixed and floating rate debt mix. Within defined limitations, we manage the mix using refinancing. At June 30, 2012, 45% of our debt was at variable interest rates averaging 5.24% compared to 43% at an average rate of 4.36% at December 31, 2011.
The following table presents information about long term fixed rate debt, excluding capital leases, at June 30:
|
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
(In millions) | | 2012 | | 2011 |
Carrying amount — liability | | $ | 2,978 |
| | $ | 2,873 |
|
Fair value — liability | | 3,057 |
| | 3,018 |
|
Pro forma fair value — liability | | 3,179 |
| | 3,118 |
|
The pro forma information assumes a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates at June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and reflects the estimated fair value of fixed rate debt outstanding at that date under that assumption. The sensitivity of our fixed rate debt to changes in interest rates was determined using current market pricing models.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We enter into foreign currency contracts in order to reduce the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results of operations and future foreign currency-denominated cash flows. These contracts reduce exposure to currency movements affecting existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, firm commitments and forecasted transactions resulting primarily from trade purchases and sales, equipment acquisitions, intercompany loans and royalty agreements. Contracts hedging short term trade receivables and payables normally have no hedging designation. The following table presents foreign currency contract information at June 30:
|

(In millions) | 2012 | | 2011 |
Fair value — asset (liability) | $ | 13 |

Pro forma decrease in fair value | (104 | ) | | (146 | ) |
Contract maturities | 07/12-06/13 |
| | 7/11-10/19 |
|
The pro forma decrease in fair value assumes a 10% adverse change in underlying foreign exchange rates at June 30 of each year, and reflects the estimated change in the fair value of contracts outstanding at that date under that assumption. The sensitivity of our foreign currency positions to changes in exchange rates was determined using current market pricing models.
Fair values are recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30 as follows:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” which, consistent with Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we define to mean controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are undertaking a phased implementation of enterprise resource planning systems in our EMEA and Latin American Tire SBUs. Implementation activities in EMEA will be completed during the third quarter of 2012. Implementation activities in Latin American Tire continue and are expected to be completed in 2013. We believe we are maintaining and monitoring appropriate internal controls during the implementation period. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Asbestos Litigation
As reported in our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2012, we were one of numerous defendants in legal proceedings in certain state and Federal courts involving approximately 76,000 claimants relating to their alleged exposure to materials containing asbestos in products allegedly manufactured by us or asbestos materials present in our facilities. During the second quarter of 2012, approximately 550 new claims were filed against us and approximately 2,200 were settled or dismissed. The amount expended on asbestos defense and claim resolution by Goodyear and its insurance carriers during the second quarter and first six months of 2012 was $1 million and $4 million, respectively. At June 30, 2012, there were approximately 74,350 asbestos claims pending against us. The plaintiffs are seeking unspecified actual and punitive damages and other relief. See Note 11, “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” in this Form 10-Q for additional information on asbestos litigation.
Greek Labor Cases
In a series of cases, approximately 320 former employees of a factory in Thessaloniki, Greece that was closed in 1996 sued Goodyear Dunlop Tires Hellas S.A.I.C. (“Goodyear Dunlop Greece”) seeking compensation in arrears alleging the absence of consultation prior to the closure under applicable European law. Following extensive litigation at all levels of the Greek courts and the European Court of Justice over the past 16 years, the Greek Court of Appeal issued draft judgments in May and June 2012 affirming Goodyear Dunlop Greece's liability to pay salaries in arrears with respect to the 5-1/2 year period following the plant closure and permitting a reduction in the amount of that liability to the extent of severance payments previously paid to the former employees. However, the Court of Appeal failed to consider evidence of incomes earned in other capacities and the retirement of certain former employees during that period, which should have further reduced the employees' claims for salaries in arrears, and failed to follow applicable Supreme Court precedents limiting the period of time for which salaries in arrears are payable. Goodyear Dunlop Greece intends to appeal these judgments before the Greek Supreme Court in order to seek to rectify these failures. If Goodyear Dunlop Greece's appeal is not successful, its liability with respect to these judgments is currently estimated to be approximately €44 million ($56 million). Goodyear Dunlop Greece is vigorously defending these cases, the ultimate outcome of which cannot be predicted at this time.
Reference is made to Item 3 of Part I of our 2011 Form 10-K and to Item 1 of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012 for additional discussion of legal proceedings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our 2011 Form 10-K includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors.
