Dow Jones05-07

By Ben Glickman

 

Goodyear Tire & Rubber said its sales fell more than expected in the first quarter after industry weakness in commercial trucking hit its largest segments.

The Akron, Ohio-based tire-maker reported a loss of $57 million, or 20 cents a share, in the quarter ended March 31, compared with a loss of $101 million, or 35 cents a share, a year earlier. Analysts polled by FactSet expected a per-share loss of 11 cents.

Stripping out certain one-time items, the company posted an adjusted profit of 10 cents a share, compared with the 1-cent loss expected by analysts surveyed by FactSet.

Revenue fell 8% to $4.54 billion, missing the $4.78 million expected by analysts polled by FactSet.

Sales in the company's Americas segment were down 9.7%, driven by lower replacement volumes and unfavorable price/mix due to industry weakness in commercial trucking.

In Europe, sales were down 9.7% due to similar factors, while Asia Pacific sales rose 3.4% from a year earlier on higher original equipment volume.

Goodyear said electric-vehicle fitments in China drove higher volumes in original equipment.
